He or\n she may so allocate in any manner that is fair and\n reasonable.\n (2) The lessor seasonably shall notify the lessee and in the case of a\nfinance lease the supplier seasonably shall notify the lessor and the\nlessee, if known, that there will be delay or nondelivery and, if\nallocation is required under subsection (1) (b), of the estimated quota\nthus made available for the lessee.\n
