(b) Except in the event of a total loss, within 5 business days of lease termination, a lessee who is not in default and whose lease is terminated early without the exercise of a purchase option or whose liability at the scheduled end of the lease term is based upon the residual value of the vehicle may obtain, at the lessee's expense, a professional appraisal of the wholesale value which could be realized at sale of the vehicle, by an appraiser mutually acceptable to the lessee and the holder, who is not the agent or employee of either the lessor, the dealer or the lessee.
