(b) An agreement sufficient to constitute a lease contract may be found although the moment of its making is undetermined.
(c) Although one or more terms are left open, a lease contract does not fail for indefiniteness if the parties have intended to make a lease contract and there is a reasonably certain basis for giving an appropriate remedy.
