Indemnitee must obtain the prior written approval of the Beneficiaries’ Representative to retain such counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Beneficiaries’ Representative withholds such consent, Indemnitee shall then have the right to seek approval for such separate counsel from the Company, or the Trustee, if any, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. (c) Nothing contain herein shall prohibit Indemnitee from retaining other counsel at Indemnitee’s own expense.
