(ii)           “Expenses” means an amount equal to the aggregate expenses of the Company and stockholders related to the Change of Control, including (a) any accelerated management fees payable to any holder(s) of Class A Common Stock in connection with such Change of Control, but excluding (b) any closing or transaction fees payable to any holder(s) of Class A Common Stock in connection with such Change of Control.

 

 

(iii)           “Outstanding Shares” means the sum of (a) the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately before the Change of Control, (b) the aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock that are Vested Shares as of immediately before the Change of Control and (c) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Class B Common Stock that are Missed Shares or Shares that are not yet Eligible Shares as of immediately before the Change of Control under all restricted stock and stock option agreements of the Company but that could become Vested Shares thereunder and be included as “Outstanding Shares” hereunder and under all such restricted stock and stock option agreements and still result in Tier One Proceeds or Tier Two Proceeds, as applicable.
