Article LVIII. Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b), as applicable, is unavailable to a Company Indemnified Party or a Subscriber Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold a Company Indemnified Party or a Subscriber Indemnified Party, as applicable, harmless for any Losses, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Company Indemnified Party or a Subscriber Indemnified Party, as applicable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Company Indemnified Party or a Subscriber Indemnified Party, as applicable, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses pursuant to this Section 6.01, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

It is agreed that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.01(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. The provisions of this Section 6.01(c) shall apply solely to the indemnification obligations as set forth in this Section 6.01.
