Placement, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, registered under the Securities Act. Benefits received by any
underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
