(Exercisable for the Purchase of 10,000 Common Stock Shares at $2.05 per Share)
(Exercisable for the Purchase of 10,000 Common Stock Shares at $2.05 per Share)
This STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Option Agreement” or “Agreement”), dated this ___day of
November 2009 and to be effective on September 1, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), is between Graymark
Healthcare, Inc. (the “Company”) and Mirador Consulting, Inc. (the “Option Holder” and with the
Company sometimes referred to as “parties” collectively and as “party” individually).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, this Option Agreement is executed and delivered by the Company pursuant to and in
accordance with the Consulting Agreement dated the Effective Date between the parties (the
“Consulting Agreement”);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant and Period. The above recital is true and correct. This Agreement is
executed and delivered pursuant to and in accordance with the Consulting Agreement. Pursuant to
this Agreement, the Option Holder is hereby granted the right to purchase from the Company, at any
time during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on August 31, 2010 (the
“Expiration Time”), 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value (the “Shares” or
“Option Securities”)) at an initial exercise price (subject to adjustment as provided in Article 8
hereof) of $2.05 per share (the “Exercise Price” or “Purchase Price”), subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement (the “Option”).
Except as specifically otherwise provided herein, the Shares shall have the same terms and
conditions as such securities are outstanding and as designated in the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation and any amendments thereto.
2. Option Certificate. The Option Holder’s rights pursuant to this Agreement shall
only be evidenced by this Agreement and will not be certificated.
3. Exercise of Option.
3.1 Exercise. The Option Holder may effect a cash exercise of the Option by
surrendering to the Company this Agreement, together with a Subscription in the form of Exhibit “A”
attached to this Agreement, duly executed by the Option Holder, at any time prior to the Expiration
Time, at the Company’s principal office, accompanied by payment in cash or by certified or official
bank check payable to the order of the Company in the amount of the aggregate purchase price (the
“Aggregate Price”), subject to any adjustments provided for in this Agreement. The Aggregate Price
shall be equal to the exercise price as set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement multiplied by the
number of Option Securities for which the Option shall be exercised (as adjusted as provided in
this Agreement).
3.2 Partial Exercise. In the event the Option shall be exercised in part and not in
whole, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue to the Option Holder a new option
1
agreement of like tenor exercisable for the number of Option Securities (as constituted as of the
date hereof) for which this Option Agreement shall not have been exercised, issued in the name of
the Option Holder or as the Option Holder (upon payment by the Option Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes) may direct.
4. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing the Option Securities. Upon the exercise of
the Options, the issuance of certificates for the Option Securities shall be made as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter without charge to the Option Holder including, without
limitation, any tax which may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof, and such certificates
shall (subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 7 of this Agreement) be issued in the name of,
or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder thereof; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance and delivery of any such certificates in a name other than that of the Option Holder, and
the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person
or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or
shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
The certificates representing the Option Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company
by the manual or facsimile signature of the then present Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of
Directors or Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice President of the Company, attested to by
the manual or facsimile signature of the then present Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the
Company. Each certificate evidencing the Option Securities shall be dated the date of execution by
the Company upon initial issuance, division, exchange, substitution or transfer.
5. Restriction On Transfer of Options. This Option Agreement may be assigned or
transferred, in whole or in part, as provided herein so long as such assignment or transfer is in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (said Act and such rules and Regulations being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities Act”). Any purported transfer or
assignment made other than in accordance with this Section 5 shall be null and void and of no force
and effect. Any assignment permitted under this Agreement shall be made by surrender of this
Agreement to the Company with the Assignment Form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit “C” duly
executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax. In such event the Company shall, without
charge, execute and deliver a new option agreement in the name of the assignee named in the
Assignment Form and designate the assignee as the Option holder under the new option agreement and
this Agreement shall promptly be canceled. This Agreement may be divided or combined with other
Option agreement that carry the same rights by presentation of this Agreement to the Company
together with the Assignment Form signed by the Option Holder, specifying the names and
denominations in which the new option agreements are to be issued.
6. Exercise Price.
6.1 Initial and Adjusted Exercise Prices. The initial Exercise Price of $2.05 per
common stock share may be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 of this
Agreement. The term “Exercise Price” herein shall mean the initial exercise price or the adjusted
exercise price, depending upon the context.
7. Registration Rights. The Options and the Option Securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act and the Company shall not have obligation to register the Options
2
and the Option Securities. Upon exercise, in part or in whole, of the Options, certificates
representing the Option Securities shall bear the following legend:
The securities represented by this certificate may not be offered or sold except
pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) to the
extent applicable, Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule under such Act
relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) an opinion of counsel, if such
opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, that an exemption
from registration under such Act and applicable state securities laws is available.
8. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Securities.
8.1 Adjustment for Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or Reclassifications. In
case the Company shall (a) pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of its capital stock
(whether shares of its common stock, $.0001 par value (“Common Stock”) or of capital stock of any
other class), (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
(c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by
reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company; then,
and in each such case, the per share Exercise Price and the number of Option Securities in effect
immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Option Holder of this Option
thereafter upon the exercise hereof shall be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares of
the Company which the Option Holder would have owned immediately following such action had the
Option been exercised immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall
become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and
shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section,
the Option Holder shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock
of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably determine the allocation of
the adjusted Exercise Price between or among shares of such class of capital stock.
Immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the Company
shall send written notice thereof to the Option Holder (by first class mail, postage prepaid),
which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, and any increase or
decrease in the number of Option Securities to be acquired upon exercise of the Option, setting
forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is
based.
8.2 Adjustment For Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation. In case of any
reorganization of the Company or consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with,
or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger that does
not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the corporation
formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Option Holder a
supplemental Option Agreement providing that the Option Holder shall have the right thereafter
(until the Expiration Date) to receive, upon exercise of such Option, the kind and amount of shares
of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger, by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company for which the Option might have been
exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale or
transfer. Such supplemental Option Agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be
identical to the adjustments provided in Section 8.1 and such registration rights and other rights
as provided in this Agreement. The Company shall not affect any such consolidation,
3
merger, or similar transaction as contemplated by this paragraph, unless prior to or simultaneously
with the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from
such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing, receiving, or leasing such assets or
other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered
to the Option Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Option Holder, such shares of stock,
securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Option Holder may be
entitled to purchase, and to perform the other obligations of the Company under this Agreement.
The above provision of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or
successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
8.3 Dividends and Other Distributions. In the event that the Company shall at any
time prior to the earlier of (i) exercise of all of the Option or (ii) the Expiration Date,
distribute to its shareholders any assets, property, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities
(other than a distribution made as a cash dividend payable out of earnings or out of any earned
surplus legally available for dividends under the laws of the jurisdictions of incorporation of the
Company), whether issued by the Company or by another, the Option Holder shall thereafter be
entitled, in addition to the Shares or other Option Securities and property receivable upon the
exercise thereof, to receive, upon the exercise of the Option, the same property, assets, rights,
evidences of indebtedness, securities or any other thing of value that the Option Holder would have
been entitled to receive at the time of such distribution as if the Option had been exercised
immediately prior to such distribution. At the time of any such distribution, the Company shall
make appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the provisions of this Section or an
adjustment to the Exercise Price, which shall be effective as of the day following the record date
for such distribution.
8.4 Adjustment in Number of Securities. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the number of securities issuable upon the exercise
of the Option shall be adjusted to the nearest full amount by multiplying a number equal to the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of securities issuable
upon exercise of the Option immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so
obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
8.5 No Adjustment of Exercise Price in Certain Cases. No adjustment of the Exercise
Price shall be made if the amount of said adjustment shall be less than one cent ($.01) per Share,
provided, however, that in such case any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be
made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next
subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment so carried forward, shall amount to at
least one cent ($.01) per Share.
8.6 Accountant’s Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or
readjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of any securities issuable upon exercise of the
Option, the Company, at its expense, shall cause independent certified public accountants of
recognized standing selected by the Company (who may be the independent certified public
accountants then auditing the books of the Company) to compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance herewith and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall
mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Option Holder at the Option
Holder’s address as shown on the Company’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment
or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based
including, but not limited to, a statement of (i) the Exercise Price at the time in effect, and
(ii) the number of additional or fewer securities and the type and amount, if any, of other
property which at the time would be receivable upon exercise of the Option.

9. Replacement of Option Agreement. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Option
Agreement, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to it, and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto,
and upon surrender and cancellation of the Option Agreement, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new option agreement of like tenor, in lieu thereof.
10. Elimination of Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to issue
certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock or other Option Securities upon the
exercise of the Option, nor shall it be required to issue script or pay cash in lieu of fractional
interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests may be eliminated, at
the Company’s option, by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of Share or other
Option Securities, properties or rights, or in lieu thereof paying cash equal to such fractional
interest multiplied by the current value of the Share or other Option Security.
11. Reservation, Validity and Listing. The Company covenants and agrees that during
the Exercise Period, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized shares of Common Stock or other authorized Option Securities, solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise of the Option, such number of shares of Common Stock or other Option
Securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise of the Option. The Company
covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of the Option, and payment of the Exercise Price therefor
(if applicable), all shares of Common Stock and other Option Securities issuable upon such exercise
shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to the
preemptive rights.
