BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SELLER, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED HERETO.
 
6.13   Submission to Jurisdiction .  Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement must be brought in the courts of the State of New York or the appropriate federal court located in New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties hereby accept for themselves and in respect to their property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.  The parties hereby irrevocably waive, in connection with any such Seller or proceeding, any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the venue or based on the grounds of forum non-convenience, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such Seller or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.
 
6.14   Severability .  It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
6.15   Marketing Support.   In consideration of the purchase price paid Novastor will use best efforts to supply DSC with all client leads derived from Cnet.com/download.com related to the online backup service only.   Further Novastor will permit DSC to use any and all content of their current web site referring to the online backup service, not including source code, as well as utilize the current active web site and back office ecommerce systems for the purposes of the online backup service only, as described in the Transition Services Agreement with the exception that DSC must during the transition period move to their own Merchant Banking Account for process and clearing.  Novastor will also submit to DSC all accounts over the past twelve (12) months listed as bad debt (credit card issues, et.al)

6.16   Expenses .  Each of Seller and Purchaser will bear its own costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, investment bankers and other advisors) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
