Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and at
the Purchase Price, the number of Shares described in paragraph 3 of the
Securities Purchase Agreement attached hereto (collectively with this Annex I
and the other exhibits attached hereto, this “Agreement”). The Registration
Rights Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement executed by the Investor
are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Agreements.” The Investor

     2. Delivery of the Shares at Closing. The completion of the purchase and
sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall occur on a date specified by the
Company and the Placement Agent that is anticipated to be December 28, 2006 (the
“Closing Date”), but which date shall not be later than December 29, 2006 (the

Placement Agent. At the Closing or upon AMEX listing approval of the Shares,
whichever is later, the Company shall deliver to the Investor one or more stock
certificates representing the number of Shares set forth in paragraph 3 of the
Stock Purchase Agreement, each such certificate to be registered in the name of
the Investor or, if so indicated on the Stock Certificate Questionnaire, in the
name of a nominee designated by the Investor. In exchange for the delivery of
the subscription agreements, the Investor shall deliver at Closing the Purchase
Price directly to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds
pursuant to written instructions. On the Closing Date, the Company shall cause
counsel to the Company to deliver to the Investors a legal opinion, dated the

warranties made by the Investor in this Agreement and the fulfillment of the
obligations of the Investor to be fulfilled by it under this Agreement on or
prior to the Closing; (c) the Company is satisfied that the issuance of the
Securities will not be in violation of applicable AMEX listing qualification
rules; and (d) the absence of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     In the event that the Closing does not occur on or before the Outside Date
as a result of the Company’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions set forth
above (and such condition has not been waived by the Investor), the Company
shall return any and all funds paid hereunder to the Investor no later than one
Business Day following the Outside Date and the Investors shall have no further
obligations hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean
any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which the New York Stock
Exchange is permitted or required by law to close.
     3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. Except as
otherwise described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 2006 (and any amendments thereto filed at least two (2) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date), the Company’s S-1 Registration Statement
effective July 18, 2006, the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company’s Proxy Statement for its
2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and any of the Company’s Current Reports on
Form 8-K filed since March 31, 2006 (and any amendments thereto filed at least
two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date) (all collectively, the “SEC
Reports”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with,
the Investor as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, as follows:
          3.1 Organization. The Company is duly incorporated and validly
existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company has
full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to
conduct its business as presently conducted and is registered or qualified to do
business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns property or
transacts business and where the failure to be so qualified would have a
material adverse effect upon the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole or the
business, financial condition, properties, operations or assets of the Company
and its subsidiaries as a whole or the Company’s ability to perform its
obligations under the Agreements in all material respects (“Material Adverse
Effect”), and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction
revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such
power and authority or qualification.
          3.2 Due Authorization. The Agreements have been validly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
except to the extent (i) rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by
state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws,
(ii) such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting
parties’ rights generally and (iii) such enforceability may be subject to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
          3.3 No Conflict or Default. The execution and delivery of the
Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold by the Company under
the Agreements, the fulfillment of the terms of the Agreements and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not: (A) result in a
conflict with or constitute a material violation of, or material default (with
the passage of time or otherwise) under, (i) any bond, debenture, note, loan
agreement or other evidence of indebtedness, or any material lease, or contract
to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or their respective
properties are bound, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws or other
organizational documents of the Company, as amended, or (iii) any law,
administrative regulation, or existing order of any court or governmental
agency, or other authority binding upon the Company or the Company’s respective
properties; or, (B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
encumbrance, claim, or

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

security interest upon any of the material assets of the Company or an
acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any obligation, agreement or condition
contained in any material bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of
indebtedness or any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other
agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound
or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, that would
have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for AMEX listing approval of the Shares,
no consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration,
qualification or filing with, any regulatory body, administrative agency, or
other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery of the
Agreements by the Company and the valid issuance or sale of the Shares by the
Company pursuant to the Agreements, other than such as have been made or
obtained, and except for any filings required to be made under federal or state
securities laws.
     3.4 Capitalization. The outstanding capital stock of the Company is as
described in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month
period ending September 30, 2006. Except as described in the SEC Reports, since
September 30, 2006, the Company has not issued any capital stock, other than
pursuant to the purchase of shares under the Company’s employee stock option
plan and the exercise of outstanding warrants or stock options. The Shares to be
sold pursuant to the Agreements have been duly authorized, and when issued and
paid for in accordance with the terms of the Agreements, will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, subject to no lien, claim or
encumbrance (except for any such lien, claim or encumbrance created, directly or
indirectly, by the Investor). The outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable,
have been issued in compliance with the registration requirements of federal and
state securities laws, and were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights
or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. The Company owns one
hundred percent of all of the outstanding capital stock of each of its
subsidiaries, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, except for
Care Clinic, Inc. as to which the Company owns 85% of the outstanding capital
stock. There are not (i) any outstanding preemptive rights except as described
in the SEC Reports, or (ii) any rights, warrants or options to acquire, or
instruments convertible into or exchangeable for, any unissued shares of capital
stock or other equity interest in the Company not disclosed in the SEC Reports,
or (iii) any contract or agreement to which the Company is a party that would
provide for the issuance or sale of any capital stock of the Company, any such
convertible or exchangeable securities or any such rights, warrants or options
not disclosed in the SEC Reports. There are no shareholders agreements, voting
agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Common Stock to which
the Company is a party, other than as described in SEC Reports.
     3.5 Legal Proceedings. There is no material legal or governmental
proceeding pending, or to the actual knowledge of the Company, threatened, to
which the Company is a party or of which the business or property of the Company
is subject that is required to be disclosed and that is not so disclosed in the
SEC Reports. Other than the information disclosed in the SEC Reports, the
Company is not subject to any injunction, judgment, decree or order of any
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other government body.
     3.6 No Violations. The Company is not in violation of its Certificate of
Incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents, as amended, that is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not in
violation of any law, administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court
or governmental agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to the
Company, which violation, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not in default (and there
exists no condition which, with the passage of time or otherwise, would
constitute a default) in the performance of any bond, debenture, note or any
other evidence of indebtedness or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any
other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
which the Company is bound, which such default is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect upon the Company.

licenses, certificates and other authorizations from any foreign, federal, state
or local government or governmental agency, department or body that are
currently necessary for the operation of the business of the Company as
currently conducted, except where the failure to currently possess such
franchises, licenses, certificates and other authorizations is not reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
     3.8 Intellectual Property.
          (a) Except for matters which are not reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (i) each of the Company has ownership of, or a license

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor.
          4.1 Investor Knowledge and Status. The Investor represents and
warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that: (i) the Investor is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, is
knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make
decisions with respect to, investments in securities presenting an investment
decision similar to that involved in the purchase of the Securities, and has
requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant
in making an informed decision to purchase the Securities; (ii) the Investor
understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been
registered under the Securities Act and is acquiring the number of Securities
set forth in paragraph 3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement in the ordinary
course of its business and for its own account for investment only, has no
present intention of distributing any of such Securities and has no arrangement
or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such
Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting the Investor’s right
to sell Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement filed under the
Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise, or other than with respect to any
claim arising out of a breach of this representation and warranty, the
Investor’s right to indemnification under Section 3 of the Registration Rights
Agreement); (iii) the Investor will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell,
pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase
or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Securities except in
compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the
respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (iv) the Investor has
answered all questions in paragraph 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and
the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B for use in preparation
of the Registration Statement and the answers thereto are true and correct as of
the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date; (v) the
Investor will notify the Company promptly of any change in any of such
information until such time as the Investor has sold all of its Securities or

effective; and (vi) the Investor has, in connection with its decision to
purchase the number of Securities set forth in paragraph 3 of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, relied upon the representations and warranties of the
Company contained herein and the information contained in the SEC Reports. The
Investor understands that the issuance of the Securities to the Investor has not
been registered under the Securities Act, or registered or qualified under any
state securities law, in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which
exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the representations made by the
Investor in this Agreement. No person (including without limitation the
Placement Agent) is authorized by the Company to provide any representation that
is inconsistent with or in addition to those contained herein or in the SEC
Reports, and the Investor acknowledges that it has not received or relied on any
such representations.
          4.2 Transfer of Securities. The Investor agrees that it will not make
any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Securities (a “Disposition”)
other than Dispositions that are made pursuant to the Registration Statement in
compliance with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements or that are

will not take any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to
cause or result in manipulation of the price of the Common Stock to facilitate
the subscription to, or the sale or resale of the Securities. Investor
represents and warrants that the Company has not disclosed any material
non-public information to the Investor.
          4.3 Power and Authority. The Investor represents and warrants to the
Company that (i) the Investor has full right, power, authority and capacity to
enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby
and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in
accordance with its terms, except to the extent (i) rights to indemnity and
contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public
policy underlying such laws, (ii) such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy,

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and
contracting parties’ rights generally and (iii) such enforceability may be
subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
          4.4 No Short Position. During the last thirty (30) days prior to the
date hereof, Investor nor any affiliate of Investor, foreign or domestic, has,
directly or indirectly, effected or agreed to effect any “short sale” (as
defined in Rule 200 under Regulation SHO), whether or not against the box,
established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the
1934 Act) with respect to the Company’s common stock, borrowed or pre-borrowed
any shares of the Company’s common stock, or granted any other right (including,

stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any
significant part of its value from the Company’s common stock or otherwise

indirectly, in (a) a Prohibited Transaction nor (b) any sale, assignment,
pledge, hypothecation, put, call, or other transfer of any of the Shares, or
Warrants or other securities of the Company acquired hereunder.
          4.5 No Investment, Tax or Legal Advice. The Investor understands that
nothing in the SEC Reports, this Agreement, or any other materials presented to
the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities
constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such
legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed
necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Securities.
          4.6 Confidential Information. The Investor covenants that from the
date hereof it will maintain in confidence all material non-public information
regarding the Company received by the Investor from the Company, including the
receipt and content of any Suspension Notice (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement)) until such information (a) becomes generally publicly
available other than through a violation of this provision by the Investor or

To: Arcadia Resources, Inc.
     The undersigned hereby acknowledges the following:
     This Investor Questionnaire (“Questionnaire”) must be completed by the
Investor in connection with the offer and sale of the shares of the common

(the “Company”). The Shares are being offered and sold by the Company without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities

contained in Section 4 of the Securities Act and on Regulation D promulgated
thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
The Company must determine that the Investor meets certain suitability
requirements before offering or selling Shares to the Investor. The purpose of
this Questionnaire is to assure the Company that the Investor will meet the
applicable suitability requirements. The information supplied by the undersigned
will be used in determining whether the undersigned meets such criteria, and
reliance upon the private offering exemption from registration is based in part
on the information herein supplied.

of an offer to buy any security. The undersigned’s answers will be kept strictly
confidential. However, by signing this Questionnaire the undersigned will be
authorizing the Company to provide a completed copy of this Questionnaire to
such parties as the Company deems appropriate in order to ensure that the offer
and sale of the Shares will not result in a violation of the Securities Act or
the securities laws of any state and that the undersigned otherwise satisfies
the suitability standards applicable to purchasers of the Shares. The Investors
must answer all applicable questions and complete, date and sign this
Questionnaire. The undersigned shall print or type its responses and attach

Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 if the investment decision is
made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such act, which is
either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, or registered
investment adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess
of $5,000,000 or, if a self-directed plan, with the investment decisions made

___ (2) a private business development company as defined in Section 202(a)(22)

C. Representations
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
     1. Any purchase of the Shares would be solely for the account of the
undersigned and not for the account of any other person or with a view to any
resale, fractionalization, division, or distribution thereof.
     2. The information contained herein is complete and accurate and may be
relied upon by the Company, and the undersigned will notify the Company
immediately of any material change in any of such information occurring prior to
the closing, if any, with respect to the purchase of Shares by the undersigned
or any co-purchaser.
     3. The undersigned acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when
the Company, based on the advice of its counsel, determines that it must suspend
the use of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement (as such
terms are defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement to which this Questionnaire is
attached) until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been
filed by the Company and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission or until the Company has amended or supplemented such Prospectus. The
undersigned is aware that, in such event, the Shares will not be subject to
ready liquidation, and that any Shares purchased by the undersigned would have
to be held during such suspension. The overall commitment of the undersigned to
investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the
undersigned’s net worth and financial circumstances, and any purchase of the
Shares will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The undersigned is
able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares.
