Certain Case Allocation Matters. The parties agree that if any Action not listed or described on Schedules 1.1(58), 1.1(60), 1.1(69)(viii), 1.1(112)(vi) or 1.1(146)(iii) involves separate and distinct claims that, if not joined in a single Action, would constitute separate Exclusive Contingent Liabilities of different Parties, they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to segregate such separate and distinct claims so that the Liabilities associated with each such claim (including all costs and expenses (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and other personnel)) shall be treated as Exclusive Contingent Liabilities of the appropriate Party and so that each Party shall have the rights and obligations with respect to each such claim (including pursuant to ARTICLE VI hereof) as would have been applicable had such claims been commenced as separate Actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, (a) all costs and expenses associated with such claims and incurred prior to the separation of the claims shall, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, be shared in accordance with their Allocated Percentages, and (b) this Section 6.5 shall not apply to any separate and distinct claim that is de minimis or frivolous in nature.
