Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to (i) require any Stockholder to exercise any option, warrant or other Security to acquire shares of capital stock of NORD, or (ii) prohibit any Stockholder from engaging in a net exercise of any option, warrant or other security to acquire shares of capital stock of NORD in accordance with the terms thereof.

9. Further Assurances.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Stockholder (solely in its capacity as such) shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments as necessary or desirable, in the reasonable opinion of PDM USA, to carry out the intent of this Agreement, including executing another or different appointment of proxy.

10. Miscellaneous.

(d) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a court, tribunal or other governmental body, arbitrator or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties agree that such governmental body, arbitrator or mediator making such determination shall have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

(e) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned without the prior written consent of each other party hereto. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(f) Amendments and Modification. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto.

(g) No Waiver. The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations hereunder, or any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to

demand such compliance. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation or breach hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, and no such waiver shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

(h) Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach or non-performance of, or default under, any of the terms and provisions hereof would cause substantial and irreparable damage to the other parties, and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees that each of them shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, in the event of any such breach, non-performance or default in any action or proceeding instituted in any court of the United States or any state having competent jurisdiction, or before any arbitrator, in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled, at law or in equity.

(i) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be made and delivered as set forth in Section 9.2 of the Merger Agreement, provided that for each Stockholder the address shall be as set forth on the signature page hereof below such Stockholder’s signature.

(j) Governing Law. This Agreement and the performance of the transactions and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts negotiated, executed and to be performed entirely within such State.

(k) Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have or acquire any right or remedy by virtue hereof except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

(l) Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue. The terms and provisions of Section 9.8 (Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue) of the Merger Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein and shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis, as if expressly set forth herein, except that each party hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts located in Denver, Colorado.

(m) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more original or facsimile counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(n) Facsimile Execution. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties hereto by facsimile or similar electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes.
