Exhibit 1

April 26, 2007

To: KHI Parent Inc.

Re: Election Agreement

Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among KHI Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), KHI Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Harmon International Industries, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. This agreement (the “Election Agreement”) is being executed by the parties hereto in connection with the execution of, and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into, the Merger Agreement. For purposes of this Election Agreement, “Election” means a Parent Stock Election and/or an Irrevocable Option Election.

1. Electing Shares. The undersigned (the “Electing Person”) hereby agrees to make, and to cause the Record Owners (as defined below) to make, one or more Elections on or before the Election Deadline in order to convert at least 1,700,000 Shares (which may, at his election, include Net Electing Option Shares, it being understood that for purposes of this Election Agreement, the amount of Net Electing Option Shares deemed to be included in the Electing Shares shall be calculated without giving effect to any provision for, or payment of, Taxes) in the aggregate (the “Electing Shares”) into the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Article II of the Merger Agreement and to take all necessary actions to convert such Electing Shares into Parent Common Stock in accordance with Article II of the Merger Agreement. The Electing Person agrees that, notwithstanding Section 2.02 of the Merger Agreement, his obligation to make, and to cause the Record Owners to make, an Election with respect to the Electing Shares owned by it is irrevocable. The conversion of the Electing Shares into Parent Common Stock will be effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the number of Electing Shares actually converted into Parent Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement may be subject to proration in the manner set forth in Section 2.03 of the Merger Agreement. The shares of Parent Common Stock actually received by any of the Record Owners pursuant to an Election are hereinafter referred to as “Resulting Parent Shares”. In the event that, prior to the Election Deadline, the Electing Person enters into an agreement with Parent providing for the rollover of any Company Stock Option held by the Electing Person, the number of Electing Shares will be reduced by the number of shares subject to such Company Stock Option, calculated assuming a net settlement (without giving effect to any provision for, or payment of, Taxes) using shares underlying such Company Stock Option to satisfy the exercise price therefor.

2. Transfers of Company Common Stock Pending Completion of Merger. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending at the Effective Time, the Electing Person will not and will cause the Record Owners not to (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, “Transfer”), or enter into any written

contract providing for the Transfer to any Person of, or giving any Person the right to acquire, Shares that would cause the number of Beneficially Owned Shares (as defined below) to be less than the number of Electing Shares, (ii) enter into any voting Contract, arrangement or understanding, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise with respect to the Electing Shares that would impair his ability to make the Election in respect of such Electing Shares, or (iii) take any action that would have the effect of preventing him from performing his obligations under this Election Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Electing Person may Transfer his Electing Shares to a Permitted Transferee so long as (x) such Permitted Transferee shall have agreed with Parent that such Permitted Transferee will immediately convey record and beneficial ownership of all such Resulting Parent Shares and all rights and obligations hereunder to the Electing Person or to another Permitted Transferee if such Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted Transferee hereunder and (y) such Permitted Transferee shall agree in a written instrument reasonably acceptable to Parent to be bound by the provisions hereof. Nothing herein will be deemed to prohibit or restrict the Electing Person from taking or omitting to take any action (a) that he determines in good faith, after consultation with counsel, it is required to take or prohibited from taking as an officer or director of the Company or under applicable Law, the intention of the parties herein being only to impose obligations on the Electing Person in his capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and (b) with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal in his capacity as a stockholder provided the Electing Person makes the Election with respect to all of the Electing Shares as required by Section 1 on or before the Election Deadline and such Election, once made, remains effective and not withdrawn through the Election Deadline.

3. Transfers of the Resulting Parent Shares Following the Effective Time.

(a) Neither during, nor with respect to, the period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the second year anniversary thereof (or, if earlier, the death of the Electing Person), shall the Electing Person (and the Electing Person shall cause the Record Owners to the extent their Shares were included in the Electing Shares not to) (x) Transfer or enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement or understanding (including any profit sharing agreement) providing for a Transfer of any of their Resulting Parent Shares to any Person or (y) enter into any voting Contract, arrangement or understanding, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise with respect to the Resulting Parent Shares; provided, however, that (i) the Electing Person and such Record Owners may Transfer Resulting Parent Shares subject to applicable law to the extent that following such election the Resulting Parent Shares beneficially owned (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) by the Electing Person and such Record Owners are not less than 1,700,000 Resulting Parent Shares in the aggregate (equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, reclassifications, and similar events) and (ii) the Electing Person or such Record Owners may Transfer any or all of their Resulting Parent Shares to a Permitted Transferee so long as (x) such Permitted Transferee shall have agreed with Parent that such Permitted Transferee will immediately convey record and beneficial ownership of all such Resulting Parent Shares and all rights and obligations hereunder to the Electing Person or to another Permitted Transferee if such Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted Transferee hereunder and (y) such Permitted Transferee shall agree in a written instrument reasonably acceptable to Parent to be bound by the provisions hereof.

-2-

(b) For purposes of this Election Agreement, a “Permitted Transferee” shall mean the (i) Electing Person and the Record Owners, and their respective spouses, siblings, lineal descendants (including children by adoption and step children), (ii) any trust or custodianship the beneficiaries of which may include only any one or more of the aforementioned (disregarding for these purposes any specific or nominal bequests to other persons), (iii) any legal entity (including without limitation any charitable foundation) over which the Electing Person, Record Owners and other Permitted Transferees have beneficial control, and (iv) a conservator, guardian or similar fiduciary designated in the event of the incompetency or disability of the Electing Person or Record Owner for purposes of the protection and management of the Electing Person’s or Record Owner’s assets.

(c) Any purported Transfer of Resulting Parent Shares other than in accordance with this Election Agreement by the Electing Person shall be null and void. The Electing Person understands that any stock certificates in respect of any Resulting Parent Shares shall bear a legend that reflects the foregoing restrictions on Transfers.

4. Termination. This Election Agreement and the Electing Person’s obligations under this Election Agreement, including without limitation to make any Election, and all restrictions on Transfer of Shares or Resulting Parent Shares contained herein will terminate automatically and immediately without further action upon the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement, or (ii) the agreement by Parent to terminate this Election Agreement.
