ITEM 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Agreements with Gregory T. Troy. As described in Item 5.02 below, in connection with Mr. Gregory Troy’s appointment as the Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer of Modine Manufacturing Company (the “Company”), on February 20, 2006, Mr. Troy entered into a Change in Control and Termination Agreement with the Company.

In the event of a "Change in Control," as defined in Mr. Troy's Change in Control and Termination Agreement, at any time during the 24 months after a Change in Control occurs, if Mr. Troy is terminated without "Good Cause" or if Mr. Troy terminates the Agreement for “Good Reason” or for any reason during the thirteenth month following a Change in Control, a 24-month "Severance Period" would be triggered during which Mr. Troy would be entitled to receive an amount equal to two times the greater of: (A) the sum of his base salary and target bonus or (B) the sum of his five-year average base salary and five-year average actual bonus, payable in a lump sum within 60 days after the date of termination of employment. In addition, Mr. Troy would receive an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the target bonus for the calendar year in which his employment terminated. In the event of Mr. Troy’s death, such amounts would be payable to his beneficiary.

In addition, in the event of a Change in Control, any stock options or stock awards would immediately vest, or restrictions lapse, as the case may be, on the date of termination. In the event a Change in Control occurs, and if payments made to Mr. Troy were subject to the excise tax provisions of Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, Mr. Troy would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment, sufficient to cover the full cost of such excise taxes and his federal, state and local income and employment taxes on the additional payment.

In addition to the above Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Troy 1,294 shares of Modine restricted stock, which will vest in four annual installments beginning on February 20, 2007, and 3,773 options to buy Modine common stock, exercisable on and after February 20, 2007.
