Each Party agrees to cooperate reasonably in any action under Section 7 which is controlled by the other Party, provided that the controlling party reimburses the cooperating party for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the cooperating party in connection with providing such assistance, except for the expense of any independent counsel retained by the cooperating party in accordance with this Section 7.5.  Such controlling party shall keep the cooperating party informed of the progress of such proceedings and shall make its counsel available to the cooperating party.  The cooperating party shall also be entitled to independent counsel in such proceedings but at its own expense, said expense to be offset against any damages received by the Party bringing suit in accordance with Section 7.6 only if representation of the cooperating Party by counsel to the Party bringing suit would be inappropriate because of conflict of interests.
