exchange a fraction of a share of common stock, par value $0.06 per share (the
"Parent Shares"), of Parent for each outstanding share of common stock, par
value $0.25 per share (the "Shares"), of Harmon Industries, Inc., a Missouri

consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is two trading days
prior to the date on which the Shares are accepted for payment in the Offer.
The Offer is made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
