Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Employment Agreement with Randall L. Peat

          On December 12, 2005, Manatron, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a new employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with Randall L. Peat, the Company's Chairman. It replaces Mr. Peat's previous employment agreement, under which he was eligible to continue receiving his salary and an average annual bonus for up to five years after termination.

          Many of the terms of the Employment Agreement are substantially similar to those of the Company's other executive officers. Under the Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay Mr. Peat a salary in an amount to be reviewed annually and determined by the Board of Directors. The Employment Agreement is not subject to a limited duration and it requires the Company to continue the payment of Mr. Peat's salary and the provision of benefits for a period of two years after his termination by the Company "for Cause" (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or termination by Mr. Peat "With Cause" (as defined in the Employment Agreement). The Employment Agreement also prohibits Mr. Peat 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.

          The Employment Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. This description of the Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Employment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
