          (ii) In the event Lessee objects, Lessor and Lessee shall attempt to agree upon such MRV Rate within ten (10) days following Lessor’s receipt of Lessee’s objection, but if no written agreement is made between the parties within said ten (10) days, then Lessor and Lessee shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter each select an appraiser of their choice.
