B. On June 7, 2010, UAHC and St. Xxxxxx entered into that certain Amendment to Voting and Standstill Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the VSA;
C. On June 7, 2010, Dove entered into that certain Agreement to Join the Voting and Standstill Agreement (the “Joinder”), by which Dove joined the VSA, as amended by the First Amendment, and UAHC and St. Xxxxxx acknowledged and accepted the Joinder;
D. On June 18, 2010, UAHC, St. Xxxxxx, and Dove entered into that certain Acknowledgement and Waiver of Certain Provisions of the Voting and Standstill Agreement (the “Acknowledgement and Waiver”);
E. The VSA, as amended by the First Amendment, as joined by Dove pursuant to the Joinder, and as further amended by the Acknowledgement and Waiver, is referred to herein as the “Amended VSA”;
F. Sections 10.1(b), 10.1(c), and 10.1(d) of the Amended VSA require UAHC to maintain a cash reserve (the “Cash Reserve”);
G. Section 10.1(f) of the Amended VSA permits UAHC to elect to eliminate the Cash Reserve, provided that UAHC replaces the Cash Reserve with other collateral that is reasonably acceptable to St. Xxxxxx;
X. XXXX breached Section 10.1(f), among other provisions, of the Amended VSA, by eliminating the Cash Reserve without replacing it with other collateral that is reasonably acceptable to St. Xxxxxx;
I. On October 14, 2011, St. Xxxxxx delivered to UAHC a notice of breach pursuant to Section 11.1(a) of the Amended VSA with respect to UAHC’s breach of Section 10.1(f) of the Amended VSA;
J. UAHC did not cure its breach of Section 10.1(f) of the Amended VSA within 10 days of its receipt of the notice of such breach from St. Xxxxxx;
X. XXXX’x failure to cure its breach of Section 10.1(f) of the Amended VSA within the 10-day cure period constituted an event of default under Section 11.1(a) of the Amended VSA (the “Event of Default”);
L. On October 25, 2011, St. Xxxxxx delivered to UAHC a notice of default pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Amended VSA with respect to the Event of Default;

As a result of the Event of Default, the voting agreement set forth in Section 3.1 of the Amended VSA, the irrevocable proxy set forth in Section 3.2 of the Amended VSA, and the standstill agreement set forth in Section 4.1 of the Amended VSA have terminated pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Amended VSA (such provisions, the “Terminated Provisions”);
N. Section 1.1 of the Amended VSA defines the “Put Commencement Date” as October 1, 2011, and thus each of St. Xxxxxx and Xxxx has a present right to exercise the “Put Option” pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Amended VSA;
O. Each of St. Xxxxxx and Dove is willing to forbear from exercising its Put Option during the present “Put Exercise Period” (as defined in Section 5.1 of the Amended VSA) in exchange for UAHC’s agreement to postpone the Put Commencement Date until October 1, 2012 (and either or both of St. Xxxxxx and Xxxx may exercise its Put Option during the Put Exercise Period commencing on such date), provided that the Put Commencement Date will accelerate upon the occurrence of any one of certain events;
P. The Parties desire to further amend the Amended VSA as set forth in this Second Amendment in order to memorialize the mutual understanding set forth in the previous recital.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are hereby incorporated in this Second Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration, including the mutual obligations set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Forbearance. Each of St. Xxxxxx and Dove agrees to forbear from exercising its Put Option during the Put Exercise Period (as defined in the Amended VSA prior to this Second Amendment), which commenced on October 1, 2011, and each of them waives the Event of Default, in consideration of UAHC’s agreement to further amend the Amended VSA as set forth in Section 2 of this Second Amendment.

SECTION 5.3 Acceleration of the Put Option. The Put Commencement Date shall accelerate and the Put Option shall become immediately exercisable by either or both of St. Xxxxxx and Xxxx, in accordance with the procedures and terms forth in this Article V, upon the occurrence of:
