Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     (a) On February 28, 2006, the Board of Directors (the Board) of Dana Corporation (Dana) approved the Dana Corporation Annual Incentive Plan (the Plan), which is designed to provide performance-based incentives to key employees of Dana and its subsidiaries for 2006 and 2007. Award opportunities under the Plan are available to three groups of employees: “Critical Leaders” designated by the Compensation Committee (the Committee) of the Board, “Key Leaders” designated by the Committee, and “Dana Leaders” designated by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Among others, the Committee has designated the CEO and two other executive officers as Critical Leaders and one other executive officer as a Key Leader.

     The award opportunities for all participants are based on performance measures and goals established by the Committee for awards at threshold, target and superior performance levels. For 2006, all participants have corporate financial performance goals. Key Leaders and Dana Leaders with product responsibilities also have product group financial performance goals.

     The amount of the award payments will vary depending on the extent to which the performance goals are achieved. Payments under the Plan for achievement at the target performance level will range from 15% to 200% of the participants’ annual base salaries as of March 1, 2006, depending upon their responsibilities. At this level, the payment to the CEO will be 200% of his salary and the payments to the other three executive officers will range from 80% to 120% of their salaries. Payments at the threshold performance level will be 50% of the target payouts and payments for superior performance will be 200% of the target payouts. There will be no payments to any participants if Dana fails to achieve the threshold corporate financial performance goal(s) established by the Committee.

     Awards will be calculated and paid semi-annually. Payments for the first six months will be based on performance in that period and capped at 100% of the target payout. Payments for the full year will be based on full-year performance and capped at 200% of the target payout, less amounts previously paid for six-month performance, but in no event less than zero. The Committee may make discretionary adjustments to the full-year payments based on the achievement of individual management objectives, provided that such adjustments in the aggregate net to zero. All awards will be paid in cash.

     (b) On March 1, 2006, Dana entered into a Consulting Agreement (the Agreement) with Robert C. Richter in connection with his retirement from Dana, which is discussed below in Item 5.02. The Agreement provides that Mr. Richter will function in an advisory and consulting capacity to Dana for twelve months, with an option for Dana to extend the term for two additional six-month periods. During the term of the Agreement, Dana will pay Mr. Richter a consulting fee of $35,000 per month, plus additional hourly fees if the services requested by Dana exceed 100 hours per month, and will reimburse his out-of-pocket business expenses. Under the Agreement, Mr. Richter has agreed to certain confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-disparagement and cooperation obligations. A copy of the Agreement is set out in the attached Exhibit 99.1.

Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

     On March 3, 2006, Dana and forty of its domestic subsidiaries (the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (the Court) (Case No. 06-10354). The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court.

4. NON-COMPETITION; NON-DISPARAGEMENT

4.1 Non-Competition. During the Term, Consultant will not, directly or indirectly, engage or maintain any interest in, or provide or arrange financing for, any person or legal entity (whether as a director, officer, employee, agent, representative, security holder, equity owner, partner, member, consultant or otherwise) engaged in any business that is the same or similar to the business of the Company and its Affiliates (a “Competing Business”); provided, however, that Consultant may own not more than five percent (5%) of any class of publicly-traded securities of any legal entity engaged in a Competing Business.

4.2 Non-Disparagement. Consultant will not directly or indirectly, make any oral or written statement or publication with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their stockholders, directors, officers, employees, lenders or their respective Affiliates which disparages or denigrates, or could reasonably be interpreted as, disparaging or denigrating, the Company or any Subsidiaries or any of their stockholders, directors, officers, employees, lenders or their respective Affiliates. The Company will not, and will cause its Affiliates and Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, make any oral or written statement or publication with respect to Consultant which disparages or denigrates, or could reasonably be interpreted as, disparaging or denigrating Consultant.

5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

5.1 Definition. In the performance of Consultant’s duties as an officer and employee of the Company, Consultant was brought into frequent contact with, had or may have had access to, and/or became informed of confidential and proprietary information of the

3

Company and/or information which is a trade secret of the Company (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information was or will be developed by and/or for the Company through substantial expenditure of time, effort and money and constitutes valuable and unique property of the Company.

5.2 Obligation to Keep Confidential. Commencing on the Effective Date, Consultant will keep in strict confidence, and will not, directly or indirectly, at any time, disclose, furnish, disseminate, make available, use or suffer to be used in any manner any Confidential Information of the Company without limitation as to when or how Consultant may have acquired such Confidential Information; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude Consultant’s disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to or as required by law, subpoena, judicial process or to any governmental agency in connection with any investigation or proceeding of such agency. Consultant specifically acknowledges that Confidential Information includes any and all information, whether reduced to writing (or in a form from which information can be obtained, translated or derived into reasonably usable form), or maintained in the mind or memory of Consultant and whether compiled or created by the Company, which derives independent economic value from not being readily known to or ascertainable by proper means by others who can obtain economic value from the disclosure or use of such information, that reasonable efforts have been put forth by the Company to maintain the secrecy of Confidential Information, that such Confidential Information is and will remain the sole property of the Company, and that any retention or use by Consultant of Confidential Information after the termination of Consultant’s employment by or consultancy to the Company will constitute a misappropriation of the Company’s Confidential Information.

5.3 Obligations Survive. Consultant’s obligation of confidentiality under this Article V will survive, regardless of any termination or other breach of this Agreement or any other agreement, by any party hereto, until and unless such Confidential Information of the Company has become, through no fault of Consultant, generally known to the public or Consultant is required by law (after providing the Company with notice and opportunity to contest such requirement) to make disclosure. Consultant’s obligations under this Article V are in addition to, and not in limitation or preemption of, all other obligations of confidentiality which Consultant may have to the Company under the Company’s policies, general legal or equitable principles or statutes and which will remain in full force and effect following the Effective Date.

5.4 Disclosure of this Agreement. Consultant will maintain this Agreement in strict confidence and make no disclosure of the terms of this Agreement to any third party, except that nothing herein will prohibit Consultant from disclosing the terms of this Agreement as may be required by law, regulation or any judicial or administrative proceeding or to Consultant’s attorneys, financial advisors and agents. The Company will maintain this Agreement in strict confidence and make no disclosure of the terms of this Agreement to any third party, except that nothing herein will prohibit the Company from disclosing the terms of this Agreement as may be required by law, regulation or any judicial or administrative proceeding or to the Company’s attorneys, financial advisors and agents.

4

6. CONTINUED AVAILABILITY AND COOPERATION

6.1 Cooperation. During the Term, Consultant will cooperate fully with the Company and its counsel in connection with any present and future actual or threatened litigation or administrative proceeding involving the Company that relates to events, occurrences or conduct occurring (or claimed to have occurred) during the period of Consultant’s employment by the Company. This cooperation by Consultant will include (i) making himself reasonably available for interviews and discussions with the Company’s counsel as well as for depositions and trial testimony; (ii) if depositions or trial testimony are to occur, making himself reasonably available and cooperating in the preparation therefor as and to the extent that the Company or the Company’s counsel reasonably requests; (iii) refraining from impeding in any way the Company’s prosecution or defense of such litigation or administrative proceeding; and (iv) cooperating fully in the development and presentation of the Company’s prosecution or defense of such litigation or administrative proceeding.

6.2 Expense Reimbursement. The Company will reimburse Consultant for reasonable travel, lodging, telephone and similar expenses, as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees (if independent legal counsel is necessary), incurred in connection with any cooperation, consultation and advice rendered under this Agreement. Consultant will not unreasonably withhold Consultant’s availability for such cooperation, consultation and advice.

7. MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Equitable Remedies. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law available to the Company for breach by Consultant of any of Consultant’s obligations under Article V of this Agreement would be inadequate and that damages flowing from such a breach would not readily be susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. In addition to any other rights or remedies which the Company may have at law, in equity or under this Agreement, upon adequate proof of Consultant’s violation of any provision of Article V of this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach, without the necessity of proof of actual damage.

7.2 Successors and Binding Agreement.

(A)	This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor of or to the Company, including any persons or legal entities acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise.

5

	Consultant following the execution and delivery of this Agreement will not affect or revoke this Agreement or excuse any of the obligations of the parties hereto.

Exhibit 99.2

Dana Corporation’s U.S. Operations File for Chapter 11 Reorganization
to Address Financial and Operational Challenges

All Dana Facilities Open, Normal Operations Continue;
Company Obtains $1.45 Billion DIP Financing Commitment from Bank Group

TOLEDO, Ohio — March 3, 2006 — Dana Corporation (NYSE: DCN) announced today that in order to address financial and operational challenges that have hampered its performance, the company and 40 of its U.S. subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Dana’s European, South American, Asian-Pacific, Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries are not included in the Chapter 11 filing and are operating as normal. The filings were made today in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Company Obtains $1.45 Billion DIP Financing Commitment

To fund its continuing operations during the restructuring, Dana has secured a $1.45 billion debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing facility from Citigroup, Bank of America, N.A., and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Subject to court approval, the DIP credit facility, which replaces the company’s previous $400 million revolving credit facility and $275 million receivables securitization facility, will be used for the company’s normal working capital requirements, including employee wages and benefits, supplier payments, and other operating expenses during the reorganization process.

Dana has faced a continued decline in revenues resulting from the decreasing market share and production levels of its largest domestic customers, along with sharp increases in commodity and energy prices that have outpaced the cost savings Dana has been able to achieve. The general financial condition of the industry, together with Dana’s inability to renew or expand its credit facilities in a timely manner, has significantly constrained Dana’s liquidity.

As a result, the company concluded, after thorough consultation with its advisors, that its interests and the interests of its creditors, employees, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which it operates would be best served by reorganizing under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

A Necessary and Responsible Step to Achieve a Stable and Profitable Future

Dana Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Burns said, “The Chapter 11 process provides the company an opportunity to fix our business comprehensively — financially and operationally. This will be fundamental change, not just incremental improvement. The Chapter 11 process allows us to continue normal business operations, while we restructure our debt and other obligations and enhance performance.

“We want to assure everyone — our customers, suppliers, our people and our communities — that Dana is open for business as usual,” he added. “And, to this end, our customers can continue to rely on Dana for quality products — delivered on time and to best-in-class specification.

“This is an extremely difficult, but necessary and responsible decision that will provide us with the time and opportunity to strengthen our performance and achieve a sustained turnaround at Dana.”

1

Mr. Burns said Dana intends to proceed with its previously announced divestiture and restructuring plans, which include the sale of several non-core businesses and the closure of several facilities and shift of production to lower-cost locations. In addition, Dana will continue to take steps to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and enhance productivity, he said.

Company Files First-Day Motions to Support Key Stakeholders

Dana has filed “First-Day Motions” in the Bankruptcy Court in New York designed to ensure that the company’s business continues to function without disruption. The court filings are intended to ensure that the company can continue to pay its employees and suppliers and maintain uninterrupted delivery of products and services to its customers.

Further Information

Dana reported total assets of approximately $7.9 billion and total liabilities of approximately $4.7 billion, on a consolidated basis, as of September 30, 2005.

Dana’s legal advisor in the Chapter 11 filing is Jones Day. The company’s financial advisor is Miller Buckfire and restructuring advisor is AlixPartners.

More information about Dana’s filings is available on the company’s Web site at: http://www.dana.com.

Exhibit 99.3

Dana Corporation Announcement on Bond Interest Payments

TOLEDO, Ohio — March 1, 2006 — Dana Corporation (NYSE: DCN) announced today that the company did not make the March 1, 2006 interest payments on its 7% Senior Notes due March 1, 2029 and its 6-1/2% Senior Notes due March 1, 2009. The aggregate amount of these interest payments is approximately $21 million. There is a 30-day grace period with respect to these interest payments.

Failure to make the interest payments by March 31, 2006 would constitute an event of default under the indenture for the Notes that would permit the indenture trustee or holders of 25% or more of the Notes to accelerate the maturity of the Notes. An acceleration of the Notes would result in a cross-acceleration of other debt instruments of the company.
