Windows 2012 R2 & Exchange 2013 SP1 CU3 - DB Corrupted

Problem:
Exchange 2013 mailbox store will not mount after Windows 2012 R2 Upgrade.

Environment:
Windows 2012 Server, upgraded to Windows 2012 R2 Server

NOTE: If your doing a new install make sure to install Windows 2012 R2 Server then exchange. Do not install Windows 2012 server, then install Exchange 2013. After testing you install R2 Update, this will break your exchange. 

Can not mount the database, get the following error:
