If necessary to enable any enforcement action undertaken by either Party, the Parties agree to be joined as parties to such enforcement action. Each Party agrees to cooperate reasonably in any action under this Article 7 which is controlled by the other Party, provided that the controlling party reimburses the cooperating party for any costs and expenses incurred by the cooperating party in connection with providing such assistance, except for the expense of any independent counsel retained by BIDMC in accordance with Section 7.3. 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.
