8.2 Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Article 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, then the Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Person on the one hand and the Seller on the other
