Additional Investment in USSI

On July 30, 2012, the Company entered into another Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Summer USSI Purchase Agreement”) with USSI pursuant to which the Company made a payment to USSI of $2,500 to purchase additional shares of USSI Preferred Stock. The USSI Preferred Stock is the same class of shares that the Company acquired earlier this year (see Note 4) and provides that upon any future liquidation of USSI, to the extent funds are available for distribution to USSI's stockholders after the satisfaction of any USSI liabilities at that time, USSI would first repay the Company for the purchase price of its USSI Preferred Stock. Thereafter, the Company would receive a further payment for such shares ratably with all other USSI Common Stock holders as though the Company's shares of USSI Preferred Stock were the same number of shares of USSI Common Stock.  In connection with this investment, the Company also entered into a Second Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement with USSI and its other stockholders providing for certain rights and obligations to purchase or sell our USSI securities and with regard to the management of USSI.

                Following the July 30, 2012 payment to USSI, the Company owned approximately 93.6% of USSI on a fully diluted basis.  The  Summer USSI Purchase Agreement contemplates that the Company may make an additional investment of $2,500 later this year in exchange for more shares of USSI Preferred Stock.  If the Company fully funds that investment, it will own approximately 94.4% of USSI on a fully diluted basis (which amount would be diluted to approximately 85.1% if all options which could be awarded under USSI's 2012 Stock Purchase Plan were awarded and exercised).

Dividends

On July 10, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors approved a third quarter 2012 dividend of $0.035 per share to be paid on September 4, 2012 to common stockholders of record on August 17, 2012.
