12
| (3) | If the Review Surveyor is appointed as an expert he shall be required to give notice to the Landlord and the Tenant inviting each of them to submit to him within such time limits as he shall stipulate a proposal for the Review Rent supported (if so desired by either of the parties) by any or all of:- |
