STOCKHOLDER OPTION AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT dated as of October 17, 1997 between Xxxxxxx Electric Co., a
Missouri corporation ("BUYER"), and Xxxxxx X. Canada (the "STOCKHOLDER").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, Buyer,
Computational Systems, Incorporated, a Tennessee corporation (the "COMPANY"),
and Emersub LVII, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MERGER SUBSIDIARY"), have
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may hereafter be
amended from time to time, the "MERGER AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Merger
Subsidiary will be merged with and into the Company (the "MERGER"); and
WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to entering into the Merger
Agreement, Buyer has required that the Stockholder agree, and the Stockholder
has agreed, to enter into this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
promises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained
herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as
follows:
ARTICLE 1
OPTION
SECTION 1.01. Grant of Option. The Stockholder hereby grants to Buyer
an irrevocable, unconditional option (the "OPTION") to purchase any and all of
the shares of common stock, no par value per share, of the Company beneficially
owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT")) by the Stockholder or with respect to which the
Stockholder has a contractual right to acquire, whether conditioned on continued
employment, payment of the purchase price therefor or otherwise (the "SHARES"),
at a purchase price of $29.65 per Share (the "PURCHASE PRICE").
SECTION 1.02. Exercise of Option. (a) Subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 1.05 hereof, the Option may be exercised by Buyer, in whole or
in part, at any time or from time to time after the termination of the Merger
Agreement pursuant to (x) Section 9.01(b)(iii) thereof; provided that a Takeover
Proposal (as
2
defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been publicly announced at any time
prior to the date of the Company's stockholder vote on the approval of the
Merger and the Merger Agreement, or (y) Section 9.01(c) thereof and, in each
case, prior to the 30th business day after such termination. In the event Buyer
wishes to exercise the Option for all or some of the Shares, Buyer shall send a
written notice (the "EXERCISE NOTICE") to the Stockholder and Escrow Agent (as
defined in Section 1.03) specifying the total number of Shares it wishes to
purchase pursuant to such exercise and the place, the date (not less than one
nor more than 20 business days from the date of the Exercise Notice), and the
time for the closing of such purchase, provided that such date and time may be
earlier than one day after the Exercise Notice if reasonably practicable. Each
closing of a purchase of Shares (a "CLOSING") shall take place at the place, on
the date and at the time designated by Buyer in its Exercise Notice, provided
that if, at the date of the Closing herein provided for, the conditions set
forth in Section 1.05 shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the
Stockholder), Buyer may postpone the Closing until a date within five business
days after such conditions are satisfied.
(b) Buyer shall not be under any obligation to deliver any Exercise
Notice and may allow the Option to terminate without purchasing any Shares
hereunder; provided however that once Buyer has delivered to the Stockholder an
Exercise Notice, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer
shall be bound to effect the purchase as described in such Exercise Notice.
SECTION 1.03. Deposit in Escrow. Within five calendar days of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall execute and
deliver to Buyer and the escrow agent (the "ESCROW AGENT") a copy of the Escrow
Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "ESCROW AGREEMENT").
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement, the
Stockholder shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing (or cause
to be made book entry delivery to an account designated by the Escrow Agent of)
all of the Shares to the Escrow Agent, duly endorsed or accompanied by stock
powers duly executed in blank. All Shares so delivered to the Escrow Agent shall
remain subject to the Escrow Agreement until the earlier of (i) the purchase of
any of such Shares by Buyer hereunder, or (ii) termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 1.04. Closing. At any Closing, (a) Buyer shall deliver to the
Stockholder a certified or bank cashier's check payable to or upon the order of
the Stockholder in an amount equal to (i) the number of the Shares being
purchased at such Closing multiplied by (ii) the Purchase Price (the "PURCHASE
AMOUNT"), and (b) upon receipt of the items enumerated in Section 2 of the
Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Buyer a certificate or
certificates representing such Shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by stock
powers duly
2
3
executed in blank, or make book entry delivery of such Shares to an account
designated by Buyer.
SECTION 1.05. Conditions to the Obligations of the Stockholder. The
obligations of the Stockholder to sell Shares at any Closing is subject to the
following conditions:
(a) The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in
Article 4 shall be true and correct in all material respects on the
date thereof.
(b) All waiting periods under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder (the "HSR ACT") applicable to the
exercise of the Option shall have expired or been terminated.
(c) There shall be no preliminary or permanent injunction or
other order, decree or ruling issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency
or commission, nor any statute, rule, regulation or order promulgated
or enacted by any governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise
restraining the exercise of the Option.
SECTION 1.06. Adjustment Upon Change in Capitalization or Merger. (a)
In the event of any change in the Company's capital stock by reason of stock
dividends, stock splits, mergers, consolidations, recapitalizations,
combinations, conversions, exchanges of shares, extraordinary or liquidating
dividends, or other changes in the corporate or capital structure of the Company
which would have the effect of diluting or changing Buyer's rights hereunder,
the number and kind of shares or securities subject to the Option and the
purchase price per Share (but not the total purchase price) shall be
appropriately and equitably adjusted so that Buyer shall receive upon exercise
of the Option the number and class of shares or other securities or property
that Buyer would have received in respect of the Shares purchasable upon
exercise of the Option if the Option had been exercised immediately prior to
such event. The Stockholder shall take such steps in connection with such
consolidation, merger, liquidation or other such action as may be necessary to
assure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter apply as nearly as possible
to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon any exercise of the
Option.
(b) In the event the consideration per Share to be paid by Buyer
pursuant to the Merger is increased, the Purchase Price shall be similarly
increased.

ARTICLE 2
GRANT OF PROXY
The Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted
with respect to the Shares. By entering into this Agreement, the Stockholder
hereby grants a proxy appointing Buyer as his attorney-in-fact and proxy, with
full power of substitution, for and in such Stockholder's name, to vote the
Shares held of record by such Stockholder (a) in favor of the Merger Agreement
and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the Merger)
and any actions required in furtherance thereof; (b) against any action or
agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant,
representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company
under the Merger Agreement; and (c) against any and all of the following actions
(other than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement):
(i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the
Company or its subsidiaries;
(ii) any sale, lease or transfer of a material amount of
assets of the Company or its subsidiaries, or any share exchange,
reorganization, restructuring, recapitalization, special dividend,
dissolution or liquidation of the Company or its subsidiaries; or
(iii) (A) any change in a majority of the persons who
constitute the board of directors of the Company; (B) any material
change in the present capitalization of the Company including any
proposal to issue or sell a substantial equity interest in the Company
or its subsidiaries; (C) any amendment of the Company's certificate of
incorporation or by-laws; (D) any other change in the Company's
corporate structure or business; or (E) any other action which is
intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with,
delay, postpone, or materially adversely affect the Merger or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.
The proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to this Article 2 is irrevocable,
is coupled with an interest and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity
or incompetency of the Stockholder and in all other circumstances; provided,
however, that such proxy shall be automatically revoked upon termination of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms. For Shares of which the Stockholder is
4
5
the beneficial but not the record owner, the Stockholder shall use his best
efforts to cause any record owner of such Shares to grant to Buyer a proxy to
the same effect as that contained herein. The Stockholder shall perform such
further acts and execute such further documents as may be required to vest in
Buyer the sole power to vote such Shares during the term of the proxy granted
herein.
