The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the Stock to bear the legend required by this Section 4.12 herein and/or the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Company shall, upon request of a holder, issue new certificates evidencing the Stock without the legend required by this Section 4.12.
4.13 Manner of Voting. The voting of Stock pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

The prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. Each of the parties to this Agreement consents to personal jurisdiction for any equitable action sought in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington or any court of the State of Washington, located in Spokane County, Washington, having subject matter jurisdiction.

4.17 Aggregation of Stock. All Stock held or acquired by a Holder and/or its Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement, and such Affiliated persons may apportion such rights as among themselves in any manner they deem appropriate.

The undersigned, being all of the directors and shareholders of Trace Analytics, Inc., a Washington corporation (the "Corporation"), acting by unanimous writ-ten consent, hereby adopt the following resolutions and hereby consent to the taking of the actions set forth therein.
Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation
WHEREAS, the directors believe it is in the corporation’s best interest to amend the Articles of Incorporation to delete Article 4.7 thereof, which provides for the reduction of voting requirements otherwise prescribed under RCW 23B.10.030, 23B.11.030, 23B.12.020, and 23B.14.020, and therefore it is

RESOVED, that the shareholders hereby approve the amendment of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation to delete Article 4.7, in its entirety.
Amendment of Bylaws
RESOLVED, that the shareholders, pursuant to a voting agreement entered into between them, and acting pursuant to RCW 23B.10.200(2), do hereby amend Section 2.11 of the Bylaws of the Corporation as follows:

Directors at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, provided such withdrawal does not reduce the number of directors attending the meeting below the level of a quorum.

If the meeting is adjourned for more than forty-eight (48) hours, then notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting shall be given before the adjourned meeting takes place, in the manner specified in Section 2.10 of these Bylaws, to the directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in addition to any other requirements of law, the actions described in subsections 2.11(a) – (x), below, shall require the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes cast by the whole Board of Directors at a meeting of directors at which a quorum is present. For purposes of this paragraph, two-thirds of the whole Board of Directors shall be necessary to constitute a quorum.
(a) Any increase of decrease in the size of the Board of Directors;
(b) The issuance of additional capital stock of the Corporation, or securities convertible into such stock, to any person or entity, including an existing shareholder;
(c) Any discretionary action of the Corporation in relation to any agreement between the Corporation and Applied Biosciences Corp. and its successors in interest;
