	 Exhibit F, Section 4.04
	  	Option to Extend the Term of Lease shall be modified to provide in full as follows:
		
		  	“Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an Option to Extend the term of this Lease for three (3) one (1)-year periods commencing upon the expiration of the initial term and any extended term
hereof, as the case may be, and subject to and contingent upon each and every one of the following terms and conditions:
		
		  	(i)Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of its intent to exercise this Option not earlier than twelve (12) months, nor later than nine (9) months, prior to the termination of the initial
term or any applicable extended term of this Lease, as the case may be.
		
		  	(ii)Both at the time of giving notice of its intent to exercise its Option and at the time any Lease pursuant to such notice is entered into, Tenant shall not be in default under any of the
terms and conditions of this Lease.
		
		  	(iii)In the event Tenant elects to exercise this Option to Extend its Lease, then any such Lease shall be under the same lease terms and at the prevailing market rental rate in the area as
set forth in (vi) herein at the time any extension hereunder is set to commence.
		
		  	(iv)In the event that Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of its intent to exercise the Option granted hereunder, Landlord shall provide Tenant within five (5) days the information set forth
in subparagraph (iii) hereof. Promptly following the date that Base Rent for the option period has been determined pursuant to subparagraph (vi), below, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written lease extension, the subject matter of which shall be
limited to only the confirmation of (a) the extension of the Lease Term for the option period, (b) the new monthly Base Rent for the option period, and (c) all other terms of the Lease remaining in full force and effect if not otherwise modified by
such written lease extension. Tenant shall then have twenty (20) days from the date that Landlord has delivered to Tenant said written lease extension within which to consummate, execute and deliver to Landlord said written lease extension. In the
event that such lease extension is not consummated, executed and delivered to Landlord within such 20-day period, then all rights granted to Tenant hereunder shall terminate and will be of no further force or effect.

		 	(v) It is hereby understood and agreed that in the event Tenant elects to exercise its Option to Extend hereunder, the Premises will be accepted by Tenant on an “as-is” basis and
Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work therein unless mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant.
		
		 	(vi) Base Rent for each 1-year option period shall be at one hundred percent (100%) of the prevailing market rental rate in the area determined in the manner described
below.
		
		 	The parties shall have thirty (30) days after Landlord receives the option notice in which to agree on monthly Base Rent for the applicable extended term, including prevailing market
rate increases during said extended term. If the parties are unable to agree on the minimum monthly Base Rent within that period, then within ten (10) days after the expiration of that period, then either (i) Landlord and Tenant shall
appoint a mutually acceptable appraiser or broker to establish the new market rental rate and terms (“MRRT”) in the area within the next thirty (30) days (all costs associated with said appraisal shall be split equally between
Landlord and Tenant), or (ii) each of Landlord and Tenant shall select and pay the appraiser or broker of their choosing to establish a MRRT within the next 30 days. If for any reason either one of the appraisals is not completed within the
next 30 days as stipulated, then the appraisal that is completed at that time shall automatically become the new MRRT. If both appraisals are completed and the two appraisers/brokers cannot agree on a reasonable average MRRT then they shall
immediately select a mutually acceptable appraiser, broker to establish which of the two appraisals is closest to the MRRT. Whichever appraisal is determined by the third broker/appraiser to be closest to the MRRT shall be the new MRRT. The new Base
Rent shall be the MRRT as determined by said broker/appraiser.
		
		 	After the new monthly Base Rent has been set for the extended term, the appraisers shall immediately notify the parties. If the Tenant objects to the new monthly Base Rent, Tenant shall have
the option to have this Lease expire at the end of the existing term. Tenant’s election to allow this Lease to terminate at the end of the existing term must be exercised within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from the appraisers
of the new monthly Base Rent. If Tenant does not exercise this election within said 15-day period, the term of this Lease shall be extended as provided in this paragraph.”
