Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Credit Amendment

As previously reported, on December 28, 2005, Ceco Environmental Corp. (the "Company") entered into a $16.1 million credit facility (the "Facility"). The Facility was entered into among the Company, Ceco Group, Inc, Ceco Filters, Inc., New Busch Co., Inc., The Kirk & Blum Manufacturing Company, Kbd/Technic, Inc., CecoAire, Inc, Ceco Abatement Systems, Inc. (all of which are direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company and collectively with the Company, the "Borrowers") and Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation ("Fifth Third").

On June 8, 2006, the Borrowers amended the Facility pursuant to a First Amendment to Credit Agreement ("Amendment"), an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Promissory Note ("Revolving Note"), an Amended and Restated Term Promissory Note ("Term Note"), and a Joinder Agreement, all dated as of June 8, 2006. H.M. White, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CECO Group, Inc., was added as a Borrower. In connection with the amendments to the Facility, the personal guaranty of Phillip DeZwirek was released pursuant to a Release of Guaranty dated June 8, 2006 ("Release").

The Amendment amended the Facility by, among other things (i) extending the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from January 31, 2007 to January 31, 2009, (ii) lowering the interest rate on the revolving loan and term loan from the prime rate plus 2.25% and the prime rate plus 2.0%, respectively, to either prime plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 2.75%, at the option of the Borrowers, and (iii) establishing an incentive pricing grid pegged to performance.

On June 14, 2006, CECO issued a press release announcing the Amendment. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Purchase Agreement Extension

As disclosed on an 8-K filed June 22, 2005, on June 20, 2005, The Kirk and Blum Manufacturing Co., ("K&B"), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of CECO Environmental Corp. ("CECO"), entered into a Restated and Amended Purchase Agreement with Trademark Property Company ("Trademark") for the sale of the Cincinnati manufacturing and corporate office facilities (the "Agreement").   Subsequently, pursuant to a Third Amendment and Assignment to the Agreement, dated as of October 20,2005 and disclosed on an 8-K filed October 26, 2005, Trademark assigned the Agreement to Millworks Town Center, LLC ("Purchaser"). Pursuant to a Fourth Amendment and Assignment to Restated and Amended Purchase Agreement, a Fifth Amendment to Restated and Amended Purchase Agreement, a Sixth Amendment to Restated and Amended Purchase Agreement, and a Seventh Amendment to Restated and Amended Purchase Agreement ("Seventh Amendment"), the closing of Parcel A was extended. An Eighth Amendment extended the date by which the extension fee could be paid.

Pursuant to a Ninth Amendment to Restated and Amended Purchase Agreement ("Ninth Amendment") between Purchaser and K&B, dated June 8, 2006, the closing of Parcel A has been extended until August 31, 2006. K&B waived the extension fee set forth in the Seventh Amendment.

Under the Ninth Amendment, Purchaser may extend the closing of Parcel A until on or before November 30, 2006, by delivering to K&B a nonrefundable, but fully applicable to the purchase price, payment of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000.00) on or before August 31, 2006.

The closing of the acquisition is subject to various customary closing conditions. Additionally, closing is subject to certain special conditions such as the negotiation of a definitive agreement setting forth K&B's post-closing possessory rights.

The description set forth herein of the terms and conditions of the Amendment, Revolving Loan, Term Loan, Release and Ninth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed with this report as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
