the extent set forth in such instrument.

11.5 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE. The Parties agree that jurisdiction and venue

Purchaser, at its option, shall have the right to extend the date of expiration
of the Review Period and correspondingly the date of Closing by the number of

11.10 Waiver of Conditions. Any Party may at any time or times, at
its election, waive any of the conditions to its obligations hereunder, but any
such waiver shall be effective only if contained in a writing signed by such
Party. No waiver by a Party of any breach of this Agreement or of any warranty
or representation hereunder by the other Party shall be deemed to be a waiver
of any other breach by such other Party (whether preceding or succeeding and
whether or not of the same or similar nature), and no acceptance of payment or
performance by a Party after any breach by the other Party shall be deemed to
be a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or of any representation or
warranty hereunder by such other Party, whether or not the first Party knows of
such breach at the time it accepts such payment or performance. No failure or
delay by a Party to exercise any right it may have by reason of the default of
the other Party shall operate as a waiver of default or modification of this
Agreement or shall prevent the exercise of any right by the first Party while
the other Party continues to be so in default.

11.11 Memorandum of Option. Upon request of Purchaser, Seller agrees
to execute a memorandum of option, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Parties, suitable for recording, evidencing the granting of
the Option herein contained.
