(1) The Committee granted to the persons indicated the following number of restricted shares: Mr. Rayburn - 19,000; Mr. Richardson - 3,000; Mr. Katzfey - 3,000; Mr. Rulseh - 3,000 and Mr. Feldman - 3,000. The market value for the restricted shares included in the table are based on a fair market value of $31.57 on the date of grant. The awards of shares of restricted stock are subject to restrictions that lapse annually in fifths over a period commencing at the end of the first year from the date of grant. In the event of retirement, the shares may, if authorized by the Committee, be released at an earlier date. In the event of a change in control, the share restrictions lapse. Dividends are paid on the restricted shares at the same time and the same rate as dividends are paid to shareholders of unrestricted shares.

(2) Stock options granted under the 2002 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, are immediately exercisable after one year of service with Modine (therefore, for an employee who has been employed by Modine for at least one year, the option is immediately exercisable) and have a term of ten years from the date of grant. Grants pursuant to the Plan are made to officers and certain other employees as determined by the Committee.
