Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Employment Agreement with G. William McKinzie

          On May 1, 2005, Manatron, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a new employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with G. William McKinzie, the Company's Chief Operating Officer. Mr. McKinzie's previous employment agreement expired in April 2005. Many of the terms of the Employment Agreement are substantially similar to those of Mr. McKinzie's previous employment agreement.

          Under the Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay Mr. McKinzie a salary of $160,000, which amount shall be reviewed annually and adjusted as deemed appropriate. The Employment Agreement is not subject to a limited duration and it requires the Company to continue the payment of Mr. McKinzie's salary and benefits for a period of one year after his termination by the Company "without cause" (as defined in the employment agreement) or termination by Mr. McKinzie for "good reason" (as defined in the employment agreement). The Employment Agreement also prohibits Mr. McKinzie from competing with the Company, requires him to maintain the confidentiality of Company information and contains other provisions of a nature appropriate for an employee of his position.

Annual Bonuses

          On June 10, 2005, the Company's Compensation Committee recommended, and its Executive Committee approved, the payment of annual cash bonus awards to the Company's senior officers with respect to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005. The amounts of the bonus awards were based on the Company's and each executive's levels of achievement of pre-established performance goals for fiscal year 2005.
