     D. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment unless otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows
     1. Section 3(b) of the Agreement. The parties agree that paragraph (ii) of subsection (b) of Section 3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
“(ii) US$1,156,000 in cash to be paid at the direction of Seller to Parent on the closing of the acquisition of the Eastern stock; and”
     2. Section 3(b) of the Agreement.
          (a) The parties agree that paragraph (iii) of subsection (b) of Section 3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
“(iii) an amount of US$1,344,000 to be paid at the direction of Seller to Parent in the form of common stock of Graymark Healthcare, Inc. based on the average of the closing NASDAQ sale price for the common stock for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the closing on the Eastern Stock.”
          (b) The parties agree that the paragraph immediately following paragraph (iii) of subsection (b) of Section 3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

 


 

“The common stock issued as consideration for the Eastern Stock under (iii) above will be subject to a 12-month lockup agreement that will prohibit the transfer of the shares for a period of twelve months, and for the next twelve months, Parent may only transfer 25% of the shares in any three month period. Graymark will allow a representative of Parent to be an advisory (non-voting) member of Graymark’s board of directors (the “Advisory Director”) provided, however, that such representative must be reasonably acceptable to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Graymark.

          (e) Minute Books.

          (m) Taxes.

          (q) Acquisition Documentation. Seller has provided Buyer with true, accurate and correct copies of all correspondence and documentation related to the transactions pursuant to which (i) the Eastern Entity acquired its business and/or (ii) Seller obtained ownership of the Eastern Stock.

The gross amount of stated interest payable with respect to the Debt Obligations on the date hereof, calculated in accordance with United States Treasury Regulation 1.1441-3(b)(1) is $3,423,730. Parent does not carry on business in the United States through a “permanent establishment” as that term is defined in Article 5 of the Convention Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Australia for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion With Respect to Taxes on Income, dated August 6, 1982.
     6. Remedies for Breach. If any of the Assumptions prove to be inaccurate, Buyer shall have a claim for the damages actually incurred by Buyer as a result of the particular Assumptions being inaccurate, solely as follows:
          (a) against Seller and only for a period of eighteen (18) months following September 14, 2009. Furthermore, Seller’s maximum aggregate liability for all such claims shall be $3,000,000; and
          (b) against Parent for a period of one (1) year following September 14, 2009 and solely to the extent of the Graymark Healthcare, Inc. (“Graymark”) common stock delivered to Parent in connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Eastern Stock (the “Graymark Stock”) as described in Section 3(b)(iii) of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the one-year limitation described immediately above, the parties agree that, after such one year period, a claim may be brought for an Assumption being proven to be inaccurate against the Parent for an additional period of six (6) months, but only to the extent of the Graymark Stock that remains subject to a prohibition on transfer as set forth in the Lock-Up and Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2009, by and among Graymark, Parent, Buyer and Seller. For

purposes of illustration, the parties intend that on the first day of the first month following the one-year anniversary of September 14, 2009 that only seventy-five percent (75%) of the Graymark Stock issued to Parent shall be subject to claims under the Agreement, as amended hereby, and that on the first day of the fourth month following the one-year anniversary of September 14, 2009, that only fifty percent (50%) of the Graymark Stock issued to Parent shall be subject to claims under the Agreement, as amended hereby, and that on the first day of the seventh month following the one-year anniversary of September 14, 2009, that no Graymark Stock issued to the Parent shall be subject to claims under the Agreement, as amended hereby.
     The parties further agree that no claim may be brought for any Assumption being proven to be inaccurate, regardless of the amount of the claim, against any of Parent’s officers or directors, or the administrators of Parent, or liquidators appointed to Parent, or any of the officers or directors of Seller. The remedies described in this Section 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims of any Assumptions being proven to be inaccurate. To the extent this Section 6 is inconsistent with the provisions of Section 6(b) of the Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6 shall prevail.
     Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement, this Amendment, or the Lock-Up and Stock Pledge Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Graymark, SDC, Parent and Seller (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) to the contrary, no claim for damages by Buyer may be satisfied by offset against the Graymark Stock unless (i) Parent consents to the settlement of such claim or (ii) a binding decision is made by an arbitrator with regard to such claim (in accordance with Section 10 of the Agreement) where the Parent was a named party to the arbitration.
     The parties acknowledge and agree that the Assumptions are being used to allocate various risks between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller and Parent, on the other hand, and whilst there may be inaccuracies in the Assumptions it is understood that no inference of intent, fraud, misrepresentation or the like on the part of Seller and Parent should be drawn from the existence of any such inaccuracies.
     7. Section 10 of Agreement. Section 10 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     10. Arbitration. In the event of any dispute or any action or proceeding arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the parties shall resolve such dispute only by arbitration with a single arbitrator, conducted in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Notwithstanding the choice of law provisions set forth in Section 9, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern all proceedings brought hereunder.”
     8. Delivery of Stock Certificates. As soon as practical after the date hereof, Buyer shall cause a certificate representing the Graymark Stock to be issued by Graymark in the name of Parent and delivered to Buyer to be held pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement. Upon receipt of the certificate, Buyer shall provide a copy to Parent.

     9. Ratification. Except as amended by this Amendment, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.
     10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be signed executed in any number of counterparts. A counterpart may be a facsimile or an electronic copy. Together all counterparts make up one document.
     11. Withholding Cooperation. With respect to the Withholding Amount identified in the Closing Statement dated on or about the date hereof and executed in connection with the closing of the sale and acquisition of the Eastern Stock (the “Withholding Amount”), Buyer agrees (i) to promptly remit to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) the Withholding Amount; (ii) to, promptly after such remittance, verify to Parent in writing such remittance and, all to the extent available to Buyer under the electronic filing procedures prescribed by the IRS, provide to Parent copies of the final return(s) accompanying such remittance, as well as evidence of the remittance itself; (iii) to, thereafter, take, at the request of Parent, all other actions, execute all documents and provide all information as reasonably requested or necessary to assist Parent with obtaining a refund of the Withholding Amount from the IRS; (iv) other than the withholding and remittance of the Withholding Amount pursuant to United States Treasury Regulation 1.1441-3(b)(1), not to take any position or action inconsistent with the intent and understanding of Parent and Seller that all payments paid to Parent or obligations assumed by Buyer, as the case may be, pursuant to the Agreement, as amended, were in partial payment of the outstanding principal balance (and not interest payments) on the Debt Obligations; and (v) that Parent shall be entitled to any refunded amount of the Withholding Amount, that any refunded amount shall not be deemed an adjustment to the purchase price for the Somni Stock or the Eastern Stock, and that neither Buyer nor Graymark shall have any right to any portion thereof. The parties agree that all actions taken pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer, and all actions taken at the request of Parent pursuant to subparagraph (iii) above shall be at the sole cost and expense of Parent.
