     1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase the Shares; Subscription Date.

          1.1 Purchase and Sale. At the Closing (as defined in Section 2), the Company will
sell to the Investor, and the Investor will purchase from the 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 must execute and deliver the Securities Purchase Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and must complete the Stock Certificate Questionnaire (in the
form attached as Exhibit “A” hereto) and the Investor Questionnaire (in the form attached as
Exhibit “B” hereto) in order to purchase Shares.

          1.2 Placement Agent Fee. The Investor acknowledges that the Company intends to pay
to The Shemano Group, Inc. (in its capacity as placement agent for the Shares, the “Placement
Agent”) a fee in respect of the sale of Shares to the Investor from the proceeds of the Offering.

     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 “Outside Date”), and of which the Investor will be notified in advance
by 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 Closing Date, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (the “Legal
Opinion”).

     The Company’s obligation to issue and sell the Shares to the Investor shall be subject to the
following conditions, any one or more of which may be waived by the Company: (a) prior receipt by
the Company of an executed copy of this Securities Purchase Agreement; (b) the accuracy of the
representations and 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 that questions the validity of the Agreements or the right of the Company or the
Investor to enter into such Agreements or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby.

     The Investor’s obligation to purchase the Shares shall be subject to the following conditions,
any one or more of which may be waived by the Investor: (a) the delivery of the Legal Opinion to
the Investor by counsel to the Company; (b) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made
by the Company in this Agreement on the Closing Date; (c) the execution and delivery by the Company
of the Registration Rights Agreement; and (d) the absence of any order, writ, injunction, judgment
or decree that questions the validity of the Agreements or the right of the Company or the Investor
to enter into such Agreements or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

1

 

     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.

3

 

     3.7 Governmental Permits, Etc. The Company has all necessary franchises, 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 or other legal right to use, all

processes, computer software, systems, data compilation, research results or other proprietary
rights used in the business of the Company (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) and (ii) all of
the Intellectual Property owned by the Company consisting of patents, registered trademarks and
registered copyrights have been duly registered in, filed in or issued by the United States Patent
and Trademark Office, the United States Register of Copyrights or the corresponding offices of
other jurisdictions and have been maintained and renewed in accordance with all applicable
provisions of law and administrative regulations in the United States and/or such other
jurisdictions.

          (b) Except for matters which are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect, all material licenses or other material agreements under which (i) the Company employs
rights in Intellectual Property, or (ii) the Company has granted rights to others in Intellectual
Property owned or licensed by the Company are in full force and effect, and there is no default by
the Company with respect thereto.

          (c) The Company believes that it has taken all steps reasonably required in
accordance with sound business practice and business judgment to establish and preserve the
ownership of the Company’s material Intellectual Property.

of the Company do not infringe any intellectual property of any other person; (ii) neither the
Company is making unauthorized use of any confidential information or trade secrets of any person;
and (iii) the activities of any of the employees of the Company, acting on behalf of the Company,
do not materially violate any agreements or arrangements related to confidential information or

of the Company as of the dates therein indicated, and the results of its operations, cash flows and
the changes in shareholders’ equity for the periods therein specified, subject, in the case of
unaudited financial statements for interim periods, to normal year-end audit adjustments. Such

periods therein specified, except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles.

have a Material Adverse Effect upon the Company, (ii) any obligation incurred by the Company that
is material to the Company, (iii) any dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made
on the capital stock of the Company, or (iv) any loss or damage (whether or not insured) to the

12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is listed on the
American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), and the Company has taken no action intended to, or which to its

Common Stock by the Investors pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities
Act or on such other form as may be available to the Company (the “Registration Statement”).

     3.13 No Manipulation; Disclosure of Information. The Company has not taken and will
not take any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in an
unlawful manipulation of the price of the Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the
Shares. The Company has not disclosed any material non-public information to the Investors.

     3.14 Accountants. BDO Seidman, LLP, who expressed their opinion with respect to the
consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
March 31, 2006, have advised the Company that they are independent accountants as required by the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

“affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for an investment company, within

“investment company” as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     3.19 Insurance. The Company maintains insurance of the types and in the amounts
that the Company reasonably believes is adequate for its businesses, including, but not limited to,
insurance covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company against theft, damage,
destruction, acts of vandalism and all other risks customarily insured against by similarly
situated companies, all of which insurance is in full force and effect.

     3.20 Offering Prohibitions. Neither the Company nor to its actual knowledge any
person acting on its behalf or at its direction has in the past or will in the future take any
action to sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy any securities of the Company which would

Section 5 of the Securities Act.

     3.21 Listing. The Company shall comply with all requirements with respect to the

     3.22 Related Party Transactions. Other than described in the SEC Reports, to the
knowledge of the Company, no transaction has occurred between or among the Company or any of its
affiliates, officers or directors or any affiliate or affiliates of any such officer or director
that with the passage of time are reasonably likely be required to be disclosed pursuant to Section
13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     3.23 Books and Records. The books, records and accounts of the Company accurately
and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions in, and dispositions of, the assets of,
and the operations of, the Company. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

     3.24 Securities Law Representation Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the
representations of the Investor, no consent, authorization, approval, permit or order of or filing
with any governmental or regulatory authority is required under current laws and regulations in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the offer, issuance, sale or
delivery of the Shares, other than the qualification thereof, if required, under applicable AMEX
rules and state securities law, which qualification has been or will be effected as a condition of
these sales and the filing of a Form D with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Under the
circumstances contemplated by this Agreement, the offer, issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares
will not, under current laws and regulations, require compliance with the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

6

 

     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 until the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement 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 exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Investor has not taken
and 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, without limitation, any put or call
option) with respect to the Company’s common 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 sought to hedge its position in the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares (each, a
“Prohibited Transaction”). Prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Offering,
(ii) the date the Registration Statement (defined below) is declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or (iii) the Required Effective Date defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement, Investor shall not, and shall cause its affiliates not to, engage,
directly or 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

SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE LAW. THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR
INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE

(iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including
controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Commission). Any fees with

shall be borne by the Company. Following the

9

Company or the Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing
such Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form
necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer and an opinion of counsel to the extent required
by Section 4.1(a)), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing
such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any
notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on
transfer set forth in this Section.

     5. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Notwithstanding any
investigation made by any party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agent, all covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and the Investor herein shall
survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Investor of the Securities being
purchased and the payment therefor, and a party’s reliance on such representations and warranties
shall not be affected by any investigation made by such party or any information developed thereby.

public disclosure listing the Investor as the purchaser of the Securities without the Investor’s
prior review of the statement and prior consent thereto, except as may be required on Form 8-K,
10-Q, 10-K, or exhibits thereto, or by other applicable law or rules of any exchange on which the

INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE

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 stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“Shares”), of Arcadia Resources, Inc. (the “Company”). The Shares are being offered and sold by
the Company without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions 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.

     This Questionnaire does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation 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
additional sheets of paper if necessary to complete its answers to any item.

the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such act, which

distribution thereof.

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.

EXHIBIT 10.2

Registration Rights Agreement

This Registration Rights Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth below
between Arcadia Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Capital Research and
Management Company (the “Investor”), in conjunction with a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as
of the date hereof. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective
meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company has sold to up to 4,999,999 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock,
$0.001 par value per share, (the “Common Stock”), to the Investor in a private placement (the
“Offering”); and

     WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company is a condition to the
completion of the Offering.

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Registration Procedures and Expenses. The Company shall:

               (a) subject to receipt of necessary information from the Investors, prepare and file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), within thirty (30) Calendar Days after the
Closing Date (the “Required Filing Date”), a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or such other form
as is available to the Company to enable the resale of the Shares by the Investors from time to
time;

               (b) use its best efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from the
Investors, to cause the Registration Statement to become effective by April 30, 2007 (the “Required
Effective Date”). If the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC on or
before the Required Effective Date because of the Company’s breach of this provision, then the
Investor shall be entitled to receive from the Company, as payment in full satisfaction for such
breach, an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to 1% of the number of Shares for each
month after April 30, 2007, that the Registration Statement is not declared effective (or does not
remain effective), up to a maximum aggregate amount of 5% of the Shares (the “Penalty Shares”). In
the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
liquidation, separation, combination or exchange of stock, change in the Company’s business
structure or sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s business or assets (referred to
as a “Capital Adjustment”), the number of Penalty Shares shall be adjusted consistent with such
Capital Adjustment;

               (c) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC
such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement current and effective for a period ending on the
earlier of (i) the date on which the Investor may sell Shares pursuant to paragraph (k) of Rule 144
under the Securities Act or any successor rule (“Rule 144”) or (ii) such time as all Shares
purchased by such Investor in this Offering have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or
Rule 144, and to notify each Investor promptly upon the Registration Statement and each
post-effective amendment thereto, being declared effective by the SEC;

1

 

               (d) furnish to the Investor such number of copies (in paper or electronic version)
of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including supplemental prospectuses), as the
Investor may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all
or any of the Shares by the Investor.

     It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action
pursuant to this Section 1 that the Investor shall furnish to the Company such information and
representations regarding Investor, the Shares to be sold by Investor, and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of the Shares and/or
sale under Rule 144.

     The Company understands that the Investor disclaims being an underwriter, but acknowledges
that a determination by the SEC that the Investor is deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the
Company of any obligations it has hereunder.

     2. Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension.

               (a) The Investor agrees that it will not effect any disposition or other transfer of
the Shares or its right to purchase the Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of
the Securities Act other than transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, as contemplated in the Registration Statement and as described below, and that it
will promptly notify the Company of any material changes in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement regarding the Investor or its plan of distribution.

               (b) Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall: (i) if
deemed necessary by the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement
or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares being sold
thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Investor
with either copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or access to such documents
electronically; and (iii) upon request, inform each Investor who so requests that the Company has
complied with its obligations in Section 2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective,
the Company will notify the Investor to that effect, will use its best efforts to secure the
effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the
Investor pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof when the amendment has become effective).

               (c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or
any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related
Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or
state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding
for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any
material changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in

2

 

the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; then the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate in writing or
electronically to the Investor (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon
receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Investor will refrain from selling any Shares pursuant to
the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Investor is advised in writing by the Company
that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental
filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. In the
event of any Suspension, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the use of the
Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of a
Suspension Notice to the Investor. In addition to and without limiting any other remedies
(including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Investor, the Investor shall
be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to comply with the
provisions of this Section 2(c). The Investor covenants that from the date hereof it will maintain
in confidence the receipt and content of any Suspension Notice provided in accordance with this
paragraph (c) in accordance with and subject to Section 4.6 of Annex I to the Securities Purchase
Agreement.

               (d) If a Suspension is not then in effect, the Investor may sell Shares under the
Registration Statement, provided that it complies with any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company will provide an adequate number of
current Prospectuses to the Investor and to any other parties requiring such Prospectuses.

               (e) In the event of a sale of Shares by the Investor, unless such requirement is
waived by the Company in writing, the Investor must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent,
with a copy to the Company, such documentation reasonably requested by the transfer agent
including, without limitation, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A, so that the Shares may be properly transferred.

               (f) The Company agrees that it shall, immediately prior to the Registration
Statement being declared effective, deliver to its transfer agent an opinion letter of counsel,
opining that at any time the Registration Statement is effective, the transfer agent shall issue,
in connection with the sale of the Shares, certificates representing such Shares without
restrictive legend, provided the Shares are to be sold pursuant to the Prospectus contained in the
Registration Statement and the transfer agent receives all of the documentation required by the
transfer agent including the Certificate of Subsequent Sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
“A.”

The Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue a certificate without any restrictive legend to
a purchaser of any Shares from the Investor at Investor’s expense and upon request of Investor, if
(a) the sale of such Shares is registered under the Registration Statement (including registration
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) and the Investor has delivered a Certificate of
Subsequent Sale to the Transfer Agent; (b) the holder has provided the Company with an opinion of
counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions,
to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Shares may be made without registration under
the Securities Act; or (c) such Shares are sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities
Act. In addition, the Company shall, at the Investor’s expense and upon request of the Investor,
remove the restrictive legend from any Shares held by the Investor following the expiration of the
holding period required by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor rule).

     3. Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 3:

3

 

               (a) the term “Selling Shareholder” shall mean the Investor and each person, if any,
who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act;

               (b) the term “Registration Statement” shall mean the final Prospectus, supplement or
amendment thereto (or deemed to be a part thereof) referred to in Section 1; and

               (c) the term “untrue statement” shall mean any material untrue statement, or any
material omission of a statement of a material fact required to be made therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
materially misleading.

               (d) (i) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Shareholder
from and against any losses, or damages to which such Selling Shareholder may incur (under the
Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses or damages arise out of (i) any untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or (ii) any inaccuracy in the
representations of the Company contained in this Agreement. The Company will reimburse such
Selling Shareholder for any reasonable legal expense incurred or any out of pocket expenses
reasonably incurred in defending any such claim or action; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss or damage arises out of, or is
based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling
Shareholder for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, or any inaccuracy in
representations made by such Selling Shareholder in the Investor Questionnaire or the failure of
such Selling Shareholder to comply with its covenants and agreements contained in Sections in this
Agreement or contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement or any statement or omission in any
Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Selling
Shareholder prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Selling Shareholder. The obligation to
indemnify shall be limited to the net amount of the proceeds received by the Company from the
Investor as a result of the Offering.

                    (ii) The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company)
from and against any losses or damage to which the Company (or any such officer, director or
controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such
loss or damage (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, (i)
any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or of the
Securities Purchase Agreement or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement if, and only if, such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for use
in preparation of the Registration Statement. The Investor will reimburse the Company (or such
officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any reasonable legal expense or
other actual accountable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in defending any such claim,
action or proceeding. The obligation to indemnify shall be limited to the net amount of the
proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration
Statement.

                    (iii) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the
beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying
person pursuant to this Section 3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in
writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
party under

4

 

this Section 3 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the
indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this
Section 3. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought
against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein,
and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, shall be entitled to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After
notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the
defense thereof (unless it has failed to assume the defense thereof and appoint counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party), such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such
indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in
connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a
conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the
indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such
indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled
to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no
indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate
counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall
any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless
the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could reasonably have been a party and
indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are
the subject matter of such proceeding.

                    (iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3 is unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs 3(d)(i) or 3(d)(ii) above in
respect of any loss or damage (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss or damage (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investor on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such loss
or damage (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an
untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on
the one hand or the Investor on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the
Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection
(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an
indemnified party as a result of the loss or damage (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal fees incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection (d), the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the gross amount received by the Investor from the sale of the Shares
to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which the Investor has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue statement. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
Investors’ obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of
Shares to which such loss relates and not joint.

               (e) The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated
business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 3, and are fully informed
regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 3 fairly
allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its
business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in the Registration Statement as
required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

     4. Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent imposed by
Section 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement or this Agreement upon the transferability of the
Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares when such Shares shall
have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in
accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering
such Shares or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company shall have been
rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the
Securities Act.

     5. Information Available. So long as the Registration Statement is effective
covering the resale of Shares owned by the Investor, the Company will furnish (or, to the extent
such information is available electronically through the Company’s filings with the SEC, the
Company will make available) to the Investor, upon the reasonable request of the Investor:

               (a) as soon as practicable after it is available, one copy of (i) its Annual Report
to Shareholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants) and
(ii) if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Shareholders, its Annual Report on Form
10-K (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits); and,

               (b) an adequate number of copies of the Prospectuses to supply to any other party
requiring such Prospectuses either in printed or electronic form.

     6. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing, shall be delivered (A) if within the United States, by first-class registered
or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, or by
facsimile, or (B) if from outside the United States, by International Federal Express (or
comparable service) or facsimile, and shall be deemed given (i) if delivered by first-class
registered or certified mail domestic, upon the Business Day received, (ii) if delivered by
nationally recognized overnight carrier, one (1) Business Day after timely delivery to such
carrier, (iii) if delivered by International Federal Express (or comparable service), two (2)
Business Days after timely delivery to such carrier, (iv) if delivered by facsimile, upon electric
confirmation of receipt and shall be addressed as follows, or to such other address or addresses as
