Item 7.01.   Regulation FD Disclosure.

Dana Credit Corporation (DCC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dana Corporation (Dana), has issued notes from time to time under a number of note agreements (the DCC Notes). At present, the aggregate principal amount of DCC Notes outstanding is approximately $399 million.

As previously disclosed, following Dana’s bankruptcy filing in March 2006, the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of DCC Notes formed an Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders (the Ad Hoc Committee). The Ad Hoc Committee asserted that the DCC Notes became immediately due and payable without notice, presentment, demand, protest or other action of any kind as a result of the commencement of Dana’s bankruptcy.

Effective April 10, 2006, DCC and the Ad Hoc Committee entered into a 30-day forbearance agreement (the April Forbearance Agreement) under which members of the Ad Hoc Committee agreed to work with DCC toward a global consensual restructuring of the DCC Notes and to forbear from exercising rights and remedies with respect to any default or event of default under the DCC Notes. In accordance with its terms, the April Forbearance Agreement expired on or about May 9, 2006.

In connection with ongoing discussions, DCC intends to disclose the following information to members of the Ad Hoc Committee and other holders of the DCC Notes.

(i) Proposed Forbearance Agreement — DCC and the Ad Hoc Committee are negotiating the terms of another proposed Forbearance Agreement (the August Forbearance Agreement) that would, among other things, allow DCC to (i) market, sell and thereby monetize the value of its lease and other portfolio assets, and (ii) use the proceeds of such asset sales to make payments to certain holders of DCC Notes.

A copy of the proposed August Forbearance Agreement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. Dana does not undertake to furnish any updates to or subsequent drafts of the proposed August Forbearance Agreement until such time, if any, as a definitive agreement with respect to this matter has been executed.

Under the proposed August Forbearance Agreement, holders of DCC Notes that are or become signatories thereto (Forbearance Noteholders) would agree to forbear from exercising any rights or remedies under their respective DCC Notes until the earlier of (i) an event of default under the August Forbearance Agreement, (ii) the later of (a) the allowance of any and all claims of DCC against Dana and (b) the effective date of a plan of reorganization for Dana in its bankruptcy case, or (iii) 24 months after the effective date of the August Forbearance Agreement.

In exchange for such forbearance, as more fully described in the proposed August Forbearance Agreement, DCC would agree to:

•  grant to the Forbearance Noteholders security interests in the assets of DCC and a pledge of the stock of its subsidiaries (as may be practical);

•  on the effective date of the August Forbearance Agreement (or as soon thereafter as is practical), pay to the Forbearance Noteholders an amount equal to all then accrued and unpaid interest at the non-default contract rate on the DCC Notes held by the Forbearance Noteholders;

•  accrue interest on the principal amount outstanding under each DCC Note held by each Forbearance Noteholder at the non-default contract rate provided for under such DCC Note;

•  use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the lease and portfolio assets of DCC within the next 24 months and pay the aggregate proceeds of such sales (so long as DCC retains not less than $7.5 million of cash in the United States) to the Forbearance Noteholders on a quarterly basis to be applied first to the accrued and unpaid interest at the non-default contractual rate and then on a pro rata basis to the outstanding principal amount of the DCC Notes held by the Forbearance Noteholders;

•  use cash only to pay operating expenses and for the above-described quarterly payments, and to not make any acquisitions or investments (other than mutually acceptable cash investments) or loans, dividends or similar payments to Dana; and

•  pay certain fees of the professionals retained by the Ad Hoc Committee.

2

Although DCC expects that it and the members of Ad Hoc Committee will execute the August Forbearance Agreement in substantially the form contained in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, the parties are not legally bound to do so, and there can be no assurance that the August Forbearance Agreement will be executed in the form attached or at all. In the event that that the August Forbearance Agreement is not executed, the holders of the DCC Notes could attempt to exercise their rights and remedies under the DCC Notes to seek repayment of amounts owed thereunder.

(ii) Tax Sharing Agreement Between Dana and DCC — Dana and DCC file a consolidated federal tax return and file consolidated or combined state tax returns where allowable. Tax benefits and liabilities as between Dana and DCC are computed under an inter-company tax sharing agreement between Dana and DCC (the Tax Sharing Agreement), a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.

Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, each year DCC recognizes tax benefits and liabilities for the estimated taxes refundable from or payable to Dana using a method commonly referred to as the “benefits for loss companies” method. Under this method, (i) income tax benefits attributable to DCC based on its current year net taxable loss are recognized by Dana as an amount payable to DCC and by DCC as an amount receivable from Dana and (ii) income tax liabilities attributable to DCC based on its current year net taxable income are recognized by Dana as an amount receivable from DCC and by DCC as an amount payable to Dana. To the extent that any annual tax amounts determined by Dana and DCC pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement are subsequently adjusted as the result of audits by relevant tax authorities or adjusted by the filing of amended tax returns, the previously recorded amounts payable and receivable are adjusted by Dana and DCC at such time as the tax audit adjustments are agreed to and determined to be probable by Dana.

Dana has previously reported DCC’s plans to market and sell its portfolio assets, and during the past several years, DCC has completed several sales. As of August 1, 2006, DCC had approximately $50 million in cash on hand from previous asset sales and operations. DCC believes the marketing and sale of its portfolio of remaining assets could generate aggregate sale proceeds of approximately $200 to $300 million. Accordingly, the continued sale of assets by DCC is expected to generate additional tax liabilities owed to Dana by DCC under the Tax Sharing Agreement of approximately $80 million to $115 million.

From time to time, Dana and DCC have entered into amendments to the original Tax Sharing Agreement. Copies of those amendments are furnished as Exhibits 99.3 and 99.4 to this report. Among other things, such amendments have eliminated DCC’s liability to pay Dana for capital gains generated by DCC in years 2002 through 2004 in connection with the sale of DCC investments.

As of June 30, 2006, DCC had recorded approximately $47 million as a net tax sharing receivable from Dana under the Tax Sharing Agreement. This amount includes certain assessments in connection with tax audit adjustment settlements that have been agreed to by Dana, DCC and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS); however, as further discussed below, this amount does not reflect matters subject to current tax audits by the IRS because the outcome of such audits has not yet been agreed to or determined to be probable by Dana.

(iii) Current Tax Audits — The IRS is currently examining certain stock sale transactions completed by DCC during the years 2002 through 2004. DCC did not recognize any tax liability for the approximately $640 million capital gain on these stock sales transactions at the time because DCC utilized Dana’s capital loss carryforward as an offset. Furthermore, pursuant to the modified Tax Sharing Agreement, DCC incurred no obligation to the extent the obligation arose with respect to capital gains. Dana believes that these stock sale transactions were completed in accordance with appropriate tax regulations and that the likelihood of an adverse outcome is remote. In the event, however, that the IRS determines that gains from these transactions were not capital in nature, then DCC’s gains on the transactions would be re-characterized as ordinary gains, and DCC would not be able to avail itself under the modified Tax Sharing Agreement of any benefit associated with Dana’s capital loss carryforward. If the entire $640 million were re-characterized as ordinary gain, and assuming a 35% tax rate, the Tax Sharing Agreement would provide for an additional DCC liability to Dana of approximately $224 million.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements represent Dana’s expectations based on current information and assumptions and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Dana’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, the failure of DCC and the holders of the DCC Notes to finalize and execute the proposed August Forbearance Agreement as contemplated and a different outcome to the current IRS tax audits than currently anticipated. Dana does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report.

Exhibit 99.2

TAX SHARING AGREEMENT BETWEEN
DANA CORPORATION AND DANA CREDIT CORPORATION

This Agreement is dated as of March 27, 1986 between Dana Corporation (“Dana”) and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Dana Credit Corporation (“Credit”), formerly known as Diamond Finance Company, with respect to the policy for tax sharing between Dana and Credit.

NOW IN CONSIDERATION of the covenants contained herein, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. To the extent permitted by applicable federal income tax laws, Dana and its subsidiaries will file a consolidated federal income tax return and include Credit therein.

2. The amount of any tax benefit realized by Dana from the inclusion of Credit’s net taxable loss in the consolidated return shall be retained by Dana, and there shall be no reimbursement to Credit except such reimbursement as may otherwise be required by paragraphs 4, 6, 7, 8 and l0 below.

3. The amount of any taxes payable by Dana as a result of the inclusion of Credit’s net taxable income in the consolidated return shall be absorbed by Dana, and there shall be no reimbursement to Dana from Credit except such reimbursement as may otherwise be required by paragraphs 5, 6, 9 and l0 below.

4. Dana shall reimburse Credit any amount equal to l00% of Credit’s current federal tax liability, as computed under generally accepted accounting principles and reported in Credit’s financial statements provided that such current liability represents a credit or negative income tax expense.

5. In the event that Credit’s current federal tax liability, as computed under generally accepted accounting principles and reported in Credit’s financial statements, represents a debit or positive income tax expense, then Credit shall reimburse Dana an amount equal to l00% of such current liability.

6. To the extent that reimbursement is required by either party under paragraphs 4 or 5 above, such reimbursement shall be made on a quarterly basis with [sic] 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter. The reimbursement shall be based on the current federal tax liability for the quarter, as computed under generally accepted accounted [sic] principles and reported in the Credit’s quarterly financial statements.

7. Dana shall reimburse Credit an amount equal to l00% of the Investment Tax Credit (“ITC”) reported by Credit and applied to reduce the federal income tax liability in the consolidated return. ITC reimbursed under this clause shall exclude any ITC which is accounted for as a reduction of federal income tax expense for financial reporting purposes and thus subject to the reimbursement provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 above.

8. To the extent that Credit is eligible for reimbursement under the provisions of paragraph 7 above, such reimbursement shall be made on a quarterly basis within 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter. The reimbursement for each quarter shall equal l00% of the ITC generated by Credit (as qualified by paragraph 7 above) from actual transactions throughout the year to date times a reimbursement percentage as defined below and minus previous reimbursements during the year. The reimbursement percentage is as follows:

	Reimbursement
Quarter Ended	Percentage
March 31		25	%
June 30		50	%
September 30		75	%
December 31		100	%

9. Credit will reimburse Dana in cash for any Investment Tax Credit which becomes subject to recapture rules. Credit will pay in cash to Dana at the end of each calendar quarter an amount equal to 100% of any Investment Tax Credit which is recaptured in that current year times the applicable reimbursement percentage from paragraph 8 above and minus any prior reimbursements during the year.

10. In the event additional federal income taxes are imposed upon Dana as a result of an Internal Revenue Service redetermination of Investment Tax Credit, Investment Tax Credit recapture, or any item which would have an effect on the current federal income tax liability as reported in Credit financial statements, Credit will reimburse Dana in an amount equal to the corresponding increase in tax liability plus interest and penalties related thereto. Similarly, in the event Dana receives a refund of previously paid federal income tax as a result of a redetermination of Investment Tax Credit, Investment Tax Credit recapture, or any item which would have an effect on the current federal income tax liability as reported in credit’s [sic] financial statements, Dana shall reimburse Credit in an amount equal to the corresponding decrease in tax liability plus interest related thereto.

IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officers as of the date first above written.

AMENDMENT TO TAX SHARING AGREEMENT BETWEEN
DANA CORPORATION AND DANA CREDIT CORPORATION

This Amendment to Tax Sharing Agreement (“Amendment”), dated as of June 28, 2002, but effective as of January 1, 2002, is made between Dana Corporation (“Dana”) and its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Dana Credit Corporation (“Credit”).

WHEREAS, Dana and Credit are parties to a Tax Sharing Agreement dated as of March 27, 1986 (the “Tax Sharing Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Section 4 of the Tax Sharing Agreement provides for Dana to pay to Credit an amount equal to l00% of Credit’s current federal tax liability representing a credit or negative income tax expense, as computed under generally accepted accounting principals [sic] and reported in Credit’s financial statements; and

WHEREAS, Section 5 of the Tax Sharing Agreement provides for Credit to pay to Dana an amount equal to l00% of Credit’s current federal tax liability representing a debit or positive income tax expense, as computed under generally accepted accounting principals [sic] and reported in Credit’s financial statements; and

WHEREAS, Section 10 of the Tax Sharing Agreement provides, among other things, for Credit or Dana (as appropriate) to reimburse the other if there is a redetermination of the current federal income tax liability as reported in Credit’s financial statements in the event of a redetermination of federal income taxes by the Internal Revenue Service; and

WHEREAS, Dana and Credit have agreed to modify the Tax Sharing Agreement so that no payment will be made in respect of any current federal tax liability of Credit attributable to any capital gain net income recognized by Credit and its subsidiaries in 2002 or 2003.

NOW, THEREFORE, Dana and Credit agree as follows:

1. Modification of Tax Sharing Agreement.  For the Dana consolidated federal income tax group’s taxable years January 1 through December 31, 2002 and January 1 through December 31, 2003, all capital gain net income (i.e. the excess of capital gains over capital losses) recognized by Credit and its subsidiaries shall be disregarded for purposes of applying the Tax Sharing Agreement. Accordingly, the determinations of any amount payable by Dana to Credit pursuant to Section 4 of the Tax Sharing Agreement, of any amount payable by Credit to Dana pursuant to Section 5 of the Tax Sharing Agreement, and of any amount payable by either party to the other pursuant to Section 10 of the Tax Sharing Agreement shall be made without taking into account any capital gain net income of Credit and its subsidiaries for such taxable years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount treated as capital gain or capital loss by Credit or its subsidiaries for such taxable years is subsequently determined not to constitute capital gain or capital loss, such redetermination shall be taken into account for purposes of applying Section 10 of the Tax Sharing Agreement.

2. No Other Modification.  Except as modified by the preceding paragraph, all terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without modification.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the date first written above.

Accordingly, the determinations of any amount payable by Dana to Credit pursuant to Section 4 of the Tax Sharing Agreement, of any amount payable by Credit to Dana pursuant to Section 5 of the Tax Sharing Agreement, and of any amount payable by either party to the other pursuant to Section 10 of the Tax Sharing Agreement shall be made without taking into account any capital gain net income of Credit and its subsidiaries for such taxable years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount treated as capital gain or capital loss by Credit or its subsidiaries for such taxable years [sic] is subsequently determined not to constitute capital gain or capital loss, such redetermination shall be taken into account for purposes of applying Section 10 of the Tax Sharing Agreement.

2. No Other Modification.  Except as modified by the preceding paragraph, all terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without modification.
