      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
      of
      1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
      registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
      has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
      such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
      therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
      such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
      or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
      successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
      director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
      registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
      has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
      jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
      policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
      of
      such issue.</font></div>

This
                Registration Statement is being filed with the Securities and Exchange
                Commission to register 750,000 shares of common stock which may be
                issued
                under the Franklin Credit Management Corporation 2006 Stock Incentive
                Plan
                (the "Plan"), of which 15,000 shares may be issued upon the exercise of
                stock options that have been issued under the Plan and 735,000 shares
                may
                be issued pursuant to the Plan.

The
                Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price is based on estimates in
                accordance with Rule 457(c), with respect to 735,000 shares that
                may be
                issued pursuant to the Plan, and calculations pursuant to Rule 457(h)(1),
                with respect to 15,000 shares that may be issued upon the exercise
                of
                stock options that have been issued under the Plan. See Footnote

                the
                Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price are based on the average
                of the

                and the
                Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price have been calculated based

                granted.

Indemnification
      of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145
      of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
      indemnify directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals,
      against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
      in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in connection
      with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in
      which
      such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a
      director, officer, employee or agent to the Registrant. The Delaware General
      Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights
      to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw,
      agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
      otherwise.
Article
      VI of the Registrant's Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
      provides that the Registrant shall to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
      law, as in effect from time to time, indemnify each director of the Registrant
      or of any of its wholly- owned subsidiaries who was or is a party or is
      threatened to be made a party to any litigation or other legal proceeding,
      by
      reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of the
Registrant
      or of any of its subsidiaries (provided that such person's actions subject to
      such proceeding were taken in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
      believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and,
      with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
      his
      or her conduct was unlawful) against all expense, liability and loss (including,
      but not limited to, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties
      with respect to any employee benefit plan or otherwise, and amounts paid or
      to
      be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by such director in connection
      with
      such proceeding; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to recover
      claims made by a director against the Registrant pursuant to such Article VI,
      the Registrant shall not be obligated to indemnify a director in connection
      with
      a proceeding (or part thereof) not authorized by the board of directors of
      the
      Registrant and initiated by such director against (i) the Registrant or any
      of
      its subsidiaries, (ii) any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
      or
      agent of the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries and/or (iii) any person
      or
      entity which is or was controlled, controlled by, or under common control with
      the Registrant or has or had business relations with the Registrant or any
      of
      its subsidiaries.
The
      right
      to indemnification conferred by such Article VI includes the right to be paid
      by
      the Registrant the expenses incurred in connection with the defense or
      investigation of any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition;
      provided, however, that the payment of such expense in advance of the final
      disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Registrant
      of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or former director, and
      such
      other reasonable assurance that the Registrant may reasonably require, that
      all
      amounts so advanced shall be repaid if it shall ultimately be determined that
      such director or former director is not entitled to be indemnified by the
      Registrant.
Article
      VI of the Registrant's Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
      further provides that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive,
      and
      provides that in the event that the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended
      to expand the indemnification permitted to directors the Registrant must
      indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law as so
      amended. Article VI of the Registrant's Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate
      of Incorporation also permits the indemnification by the Registrant or persons
      other than directors to the fullest extend permitted by the Delaware Corporation
      Law.
The
      Registrant has obtained directors and officers liability insurance for the
      benefit of its directors and certain of its officers.
Section 102(b)(7)
      of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in
      its
      certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be
      personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
      for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
      breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
      (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
      misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of
      dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions,
      or
      (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
      benefit. The Registrant's Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of
      Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.

.
(a)
      The
      undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
      To
      file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
      post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
      To
      include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
      1933;
(ii)
      To
      reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
      of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
      thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
      in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
      the
      foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
      total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
      registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
      offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
      Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
      and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
      offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
      effective registration statement; and
(iii)
      To
      include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
      previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
      such information in the registration statement;
Provided,
      however
,
      that
      clauses (a)(1)(i) and (a)(i)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement
      is
      on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included
      in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
      reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant
      to
      Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
      by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
      That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
      each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
      statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
      securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona
      fide
offering
      thereof.
(3)
      To
      remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
      securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
      offering.
(4)
      Not
      applicable.
(5)
      That
      for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to
      any
      purchaser:
(i)
      If
      the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A)
      Each
      prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424 (b)(3) shall be deemed
      to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
      was
      deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B)
      Each
      prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7)
      as
      part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an
      offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of
      providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of
      1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement
      as
      of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after
      effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the
      offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability
      purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an
underwriter,
      such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration
      statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which
      that
      prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
      be
      deemed to be the initial
bona
      fide
offering
      thereof.
Provided,
      however,
that no
      statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
      registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated
      by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of
      the
      registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
      prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made
      in
      the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
      statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective
      date;
      or
(ii)
      If
      the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
      424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than
      registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed
      in
      reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
      registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided,
      however,
that no
      statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
      registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated
      by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of
      the
      registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
      prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in
      the
      registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement
      or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first
      use.
(6)
      That,
      for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities
      Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
      securities:
The
      undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
      of
      the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless
      of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if
      the
      securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
      following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the
      purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
      purchaser:
(i)
      Any
      preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating
      to
      the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
      Any
      free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of
      the
      undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned
      registrant;
(iii)
      The
      portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
      material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided
      by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
      Any
      other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
      registrant to the purchaser.
(b)
      The
      undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
      any
      liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
      annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
      Act
      of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
      report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
      is
      incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
      be a
      new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
      the
      offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona
      fide
offering
      thereof.
(h)
      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
      of
      1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
      registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
      has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
      such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
      therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
      such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
      or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
      successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
      director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
      registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
      has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
      jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
      policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
      of
      such issue.
