(1) Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") as may be issued as a result of the anti-dilution and similar provisions of the awards issued pursuant to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and Incentive Stock Option Plan.

(2) Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(c) and (h) of the Act, solely for the purpose of calculation of the registration fee. The proposed maximum aggregate offering price was calculated as follows: 1,085,000 shares multiplied by $0.453 (the weighted average exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to date) plus 2,915,000 shares multiplied by $0.39 (the average of the bid and ask prices per share of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on January 14, 2011.)

(3) Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(c) and (h) of the Act, solely for the purpose of calculation of the registration fee. The proposed maximum aggregate offering price was calculated as follows: 445,000 shares multiplied by $1.05 (the weighted average exercise price of options granted under the Incentive Stock Option Plan to date). The Incentive Stock Option Plan expired in September 2006 and, accordingly, no further grants may be issued thereunder, although shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of existing grants.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SECURITY INC.

Electronic Control Security Inc. (“ECSI” or the “Company” or “we” or “us”) designs, develops, manufactures and markets technology-based integrated security systems. We also provide consulting services consisting of risk assessment and vulnerability studies to ascertain a customer's security requirements in developing a comprehensive risk management and mitigation program, as well as product design and engineering services, and support systems integrators and dealers/installers providing the same services. We market our products domestically and internationally to:

• national and local government entities including the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Energy (DoE);

• large chemical and petrochemical facilities and major office complexes;

• energy facilities, including nuclear power stations, power utilities and pipelines; and

• commercial transportation centers, such as airports and seaports;

• the maritime community, including large shipping lines and new-built shipyards;

• border security and border crossing inspection stations; and

• water and agricultural resources including reservoirs, dams, fish hatcheries and rivers.

We believe we are one of a few comprehensive security solution providers in the industry. We analyze security risks and develop security solutions specifically tailored to mitigate those risks, including designing, engineering and manufacturing individual components of a system as may be necessary to deliver a fully integrated security system that meets the facility requirements. We are frequently engaged by security system integrators, security system dealers/installers, and commercial architects and engineers because we are able to deliver an integrated platform for a fully integrated security solution to support our customers' requirements for the completion of a given project.

We have identified a number of markets for our products and have developed programs to gain access to those target markets. Generally, private industry and government facilities that possess sensitive information, valuable assets or by virtue of the nature of their business may be subject to terrorist threats, recognize the need to implement security measures to protect personnel and property. In many instances, laws have been enacted and mandates decreed for compliance with some minimum-security standards. Airport security is a prime example. We target these entities as well as entities where we can demonstrate the need for security measures.

As of December 2010, we employed 21 individuals on a full-time basis including four design and engineering staff, seven manufacturing and assembly employees, three marketing employees, three project managers, one program manager and three administrative employees. A number of employees serve in multiple capacities. For example, Arthur Barchenko serves as our President but is also an integral member of our marketing team. Our manufacturing staff may oversee site installation of the products.

We have relationships with 13 independent sales representative and/or dealer-installer organizations covering specific regions in the U.S.A., Central America, South America, United Kingdom, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Based on our teaming agreements with large system integrators, we are able to address large projects by  utilizing the technical expertise of these teaming partners in support our factory engineering and/or in-field personnel requirements on any given project.

RISK FACTORS

INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW BEFORE YOU PURCHASE ANY OF OUR COMMON STOCK. THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WE FACE. UNKNOWN ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, OR ONES THAT WE CURRENTLY CONSIDER IMMATERIAL, MAY ALSO IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. IF ANY OF THESE RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES ACTUALLY OCCURS, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED. IN THIS EVENT YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.

We are indirectly vulnerable to fluctuations in government spending.

Because many of our contracts are governmental-related entities, our business is subject to risks that are out of our control, including global economic developments, wars, political instability, changes in the tax and regulatory environments, and volatility and fluctuations in government spending. For example, the 2009 Homeland Security Appropriations Act provides $7.1 billion in discretionary spending for the Department of Energy and Department of Defense. However, because many customers are governmental-related entities with variable and uncertain budgets, the amount of business that we might receive from them may vary from year to year, regardless of the perceived quality of our business.  We are attempting to mitigate a substantial portion of this risk by diversifying our customer base.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, six customers accounted for 83% of our revenues.  Of these, one customer accounts for approximately 40% of our revenues, one for 15%, two for 10% each and another for 8%.  A substantial decrease in revenues generated from contracts from these customers could have an adverse effect on our business unless we were able to identify other customers. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, three customers accounted for 83%.  Of these, one customer accounted for 40% of revenues, one for 27% and one for 16%.  If we are unsuccessful in diversifying our customer base, we may experience a significant decrease in business resulting in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Because our sales tend to be concentrated among a small number of customers during any period, our operating results may be subject to substantial fluctuations. Accordingly, our revenues and operating results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of our performance in future quarters, making it difficult for investors to evaluate our future prospects based solely on the results of any one quarter.

Given the nature of our customers and products, we receive relatively large orders for products from a relatively small number of customers. Consequently, a single order from one customer may represent a substantial portion of our sales in any one period and significant orders by any customer during one period may not be followed by further orders from the same customer in subsequent periods. Our sales and operating results are subject to very substantial periodic variations. Since quarterly performance is likely to vary significantly, our results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that we might achieve for any subsequent period. Accordingly, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful.

-6-

We rely on rolling forecasts when ordering components and materials for the manufacture of our products which could cause us to overestimate or underestimate our actual requirements. This may result in an increase in our costs or prevent us from meeting customer demand.

We use rolling forecasts based on anticipated orders to determine component requirements. Lead times for materials and components vary significantly and depend on factors such as specific supplier requirements, contract terms and current market demand for such components. As a result, our component requirement forecasts may not be accurate. If management overestimates our component requirements, we may have excess inventory, which would increase our costs. If management underestimates component requirements, we may have inadequate inventory, which could interrupt manufacturing and delay delivery of product to customers. Any of these occurrences would negatively impact our business and results of operations.

Our product offerings involve a lengthy sales cycle and management may not anticipate sales levels appropriately, which could impair profitability.

Our products and services are designed for medium to large commercial, industrial and government facilities, such as military installations, office buildings, nuclear power stations and other energy facilities, airports, correctional institutions and high technology companies desiring to protect valuable assets and/or prevent intrusion into high security facilities. Given the nature of our products and customers, sales cycles can be lengthy as customers conduct intensive investigations of specific competing technologies and providers. Moreover, orders received from governments may be subject to funding appropriations, which may not be approved. For these and other reasons, the sales cycle associated with our products is typically lengthy and subject to a number of significant risks over which we have little or no control.

We anticipate that business from projects outside the United States will comprise an increasing part of our business and, accordingly, we are subject to risks associated with doing business outside the United States.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we generated approximately 10% and 37%, respectively, of our business from projects outside the United States. We anticipate that the revenue portion from overseas operations will not increase significantly during Fiscal 2011 as a percentage of sales. Our international business operations are subject, generally, to the financial and operating risks of conducting business internationally, including, but not limited to:

• unexpected changes in or impositions of legislative or regulatory requirements;

• potential hostilities and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships; and

• political instability.

One or more of these or other factors not referenced herein or now known to us could materially impact our business and results of operations could suffer.

We depend on our relationships with strategic partners as a source of business and our business and results of operations could suffer if these relationships are terminated.

We have entered into strategic partnerships or teaming arrangements with several large multinational corporations that promote our products and services and incorporate our products into their projects. In the event that we are unable to maintain these strategic relationships for any reason, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

-7-

We compete against entities that have significantly greater name recognition and resources than we do, enabling them to respond more quickly to changes in customer requirements and allocate these resources to marketing efforts.

The security industry is highly competitive and continues to become increasingly so as security issues and concerns have become a primary consideration at both government and private facilities worldwide. Competition is intense among a wide ranging and fragmented group of product and service providers, including security equipment manufacturers, providers of integrated security systems, systems integrators, consulting firms, engineering and design firms and others that provide individual elements of a system, some of which are larger than us and possess significantly greater name recognition, assets, personnel, sales and financial resources. These entities may be able to respond more quickly to changing market conditions by developing new products that meet customer requirements or are otherwise superior to our products and may be able to more effectively market their products than we can because of the financial and personnel resources. We cannot assure investors that we will be able to distinguish ourselves in a competitive market. To the extent that we are unable to successfully compete against existing and future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

We rely on third parties for key components used in our products.

We rely on suppliers for several key components utilized in the manufacture of our products. Our reliance on suppliers involves certain risks, including a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components, price increases, timely delivery and component quality. We cannot assure you that there will not be additional disruptions of our supplies in the future. Disruption or termination of the supply of components could delay shipments of products and could have a material adverse affect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

If our subcontractors fail to perform their contractual obligations, our prime contract performance and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted.

Some of our contracts involve subcontracts with other companies upon which we rely to perform a portion of the services that we must provide to our customers. There is a risk that we may have disputes with our subcontractors, including disputes regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors to satisfactorily perform the agreed-upon services may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations as the prime contractor. Subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in a customer terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability and have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders.

Our services and reputation may be adversely affected by product defects or inadequate performance.

In the event our products do not perform to specifications or are defective in any way, our reputation may be adversely affected and we may suffer a loss of business and a corresponding loss in revenues.

-8-

If we are unable to retain key executives or hire new qualified personnel, our business will be adversely affected.

Our success greatly depends on our ability to retain existing management and attract key technical, sales, marketing, information systems, and financial and executive personnel. We are especially dependent on the continued services of our senior management team, particularly Arthur Barchenko, our President and our key marketing personnel. The loss of any of these people could have a materially detrimental effect on our business. We have not entered into employment agreements with any of these people. We do not maintain key person life insurance on any of our personnel. If we lose the services of any member of our senior management team, our business could be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

We have outstanding two classes of preferred stock which have preference over the common stock as to dividends and liquidation distributions, among other preferential rights.

As of the date hereof, we have issued and outstanding 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and 791 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (which together with the Series A Preferred Stock is referred to as the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock affords holders a preference to assets upon liquidation, a cumulative annual dividend and is convertible into shares of common stock, all of which rights impact the outstanding shares of common stock. The Preferred Stock's right to annual dividends makes less likely the possibility that we will declare dividends on the common stock. In the event of a liquidation of the Company's assets, holders of Preferred Stock will have a right to receive as a liquidation payment any remaining assets of the Company prior to any distributions to holders of the common stock and the holders of the Preferred Stock may be able to block actions otherwise approved by the holders of the common stock if such action is adverse to their rights. In addition, holders of common stock will suffer dilution upon any conversion of the Preferred Stock which could reduce the market value of the common stock.

Our common stock price has fluctuated considerably and may not appreciate in value.

Prices for our common stock have in the past, and could continue to, fluctuate significantly and will be influenced by many factors, including the liquidity of the market for the common stock, investor perception of the industry in which we operate and our products, and general economic and market conditions. Factors which could cause fluctuation in the price of our common stock include:

• conditions or trends in the industry,

• failure to keep pace with changing technology,

• costs associated with developing new products and services,

• costs associated with marketing products and services may increase significantly,

• the timing of sales and the recognition of revenues from them,

• government regulations may be enacted which affect how we do business and the products which may be used at government facilities,

• downward pressure on prices due to increased competition,

• changes in our operating expenses,

• sales of common stock,

• actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results, and

• changes in financial estimates by securities analysts.

-9-

The stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. The market prices of shares of security-related companies experienced fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results of these companies. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock. Price volatility might be worse if the trading volume of our common stock is low.

Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to trade.

The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define “penny stock” as an equity security with a market or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, and therefore may be designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

• make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser,

• receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale,

• provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and which describe the market for these “penny stocks” as well as a purchaser's legal remedies, and

• obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed.

Under these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and it may be more difficult to sell our securities. In addition, you may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations of our common stock and may experience a lack of buyers to purchase such stock or a lack of market makers to support the stock price.

Our common stock is traded over the counter, which may result in higher price volatility and less market liquidity for our common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. As such, our common stock may have fewer market makers, lower trading volume and a larger spread between bid and asked prices than securities listed on an exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market. These factors may result in higher price volatility and less market liquidity for our common stock.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

Keeping abreast of, and in compliance with, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and, in the event we are approved for listing on a registered exchange at some point, stock exchange rules, will require an increased amount of management attention and external resources. We intend to continue to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards, which may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

-10-

Our principal stockholders have significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interest of other stockholders.

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders control approximately 30% of our currently outstanding shares of common stock.  If these stockholders act together, they may be able to exert significant control over our management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all our stockholders.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the near future, and the lack of dividends may have a negative effect on our stock price.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future.

Investors in our securities will suffer dilution.

The issuance of shares of our common stock, or shares of our common stock underlying warrants, options, preferred stock or convertible debentures, will dilute the equity interest of existing stockholders who do not have anti-dilution rights and could have a significant adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The sale of our common stock acquired, or converted or exercised into, at a discount could have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock and could increase the volatility in the market price of our common stock. In addition, we may seek additional financing which may result in the issuance of additional shares of our common stock and/or rights to acquire additional shares of our common stock. The issuance of our common stock in connection with such financing may result in substantial dilution to the existing holders of our common stock who do not have anti-dilution rights. The sale of our common stock, or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock, could trigger the anti-dilution rights of our outstanding securities that have such rights, specifically our preferred stock, convertible debentures and some of our warrants, which could result in further dilution to the existing holders of our common stock who do not have anti-dilution rights. With respect to the senior secured convertible debentures and warrants that we issued in our January 2006 private financing, in the event that we issue common stock in an equity financing at a price less than the then conversion price and exercise price for the debentures and the warrants, respectively, (i) the conversion price of the debentures shall be immediately adjusted to the price at which such common stock was issued, subject to specified exempt issuances, and (ii) the exercise price of the warrants shall be reduced to the price at which such common stock was issued and the share amount shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment. Those additional issuances of our common stock and potential triggering of existing anti-dilution rights would result in a reduction of an existing holder's percentage interest in the company.

-11-

A significant number of our shares are eligible for sale, and their sale could depress the market price of our common stock.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public market could harm the market price of our common stock.

There is an approximate aggregate of 10.4 million shares of our common stock, some or all of which may also be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect on the market for our shares of common stock. In general, a non-affiliated person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months may, under Rule144, sell into the market shares of our common stock. Such sales may be repeated once every three months, and any of the restricted shares may be sold by a non-affiliate after they have been held for two years.

We could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to an additional 3,898,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our Company.

The liability of our directors is limited under State of New Jersey corporate law.

As permitted by the corporate laws of the State of New Jersey, our Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, our by-laws provide that we are required to indemnify our officers and directors under certain circumstances, including those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be discretionary, and we are required to advance expenses to our officers and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified.

(1) For purposes of this table, a person is deemed to have beneficial ownership of any shares as of a given date which such person has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date.

(2) Assumes that all shares to be offered, as set forth above, are sold pursuant to this offering and that no other shares of Common Stock are acquired or disposed of by the selling stockholder prior to the termination of this offering. Because the selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of his shares or may acquire or dispose of other shares of Common Stock, no reliable estimate can be made of the aggregate number of shares that will be sold pursuant to this offering or the number or percentage of shares of Common Stock that such selling stockholder will own upon completion of this offering.

(3) Represents Shares issuable upon exercise of options issued as of January 24, 2011 under the Plan.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholders are offering the shares of Common Stock for their own account, and not for the account of Electronic Control Security Inc. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. However, we will receive the proceeds from any cash exercise of stock options granted or to be granted under the plan, but not from any cashless exercise.

-14-

From time to time, for their own accounts, Selling Stockholders may sell Shares directly to purchasers or through agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters. Such agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters may receive concessions or commissions that exceed customary commissions from the Selling Stockholders or purchasers of the Shares. Sales of the Shares may be made in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Sales may be made at the market price at the time of sale, a price related to the market price or a negotiated price.

Any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be underwriters and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of such shares positioned by them might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Act. Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and its regulations, any person engaged in a distribution of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this Prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our Common Stock during the applicable "cooling off" periods prior to such distribution. In addition, each Selling Stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and its rules and regulations, including Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder.

To the extent required, we will use our best efforts to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, one or more supplements to this Prospectus to describe any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Prospectus or any material change to the information in this Prospectus.

The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, shall not itself create a presumption that such corporate agent did not meet the applicable standards of conduct.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable to the company or any stockholder to the full extent permitted under the corporate laws of the State of New Jersey. Additionally, our By-Laws provide for the indemnification of any of our directors, officers and employees by reason of their serving in such capacity against expenses and liabilities in connection with any proceeding involving him/her by reason of his/her being or having been a corporate agent, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, if (a) such person acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, or (b) in a criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the company may indemnify a corporate agent against expenses and liabilities in connection with any proceeding by or in right of the corporation if he acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation. Such indemnification is not deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled, under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duties, even though such action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

Item 9. Undertakings

(a) The 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;

(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 the 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

-19-

(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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.

(b)           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.

(c)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

All Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

(b) Options. The Committee may grant Options to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

7(a)) the exercise price of any ISO shall not be less than the Fair Market Value (110% of the Fair Market Value in the case of a 10% shareholder, within the meaning of Section 422(c)(5) of the Code) of the shares covered thereby at the time the Option is granted.

(ii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, whether the exercise price shall be paid in cash or by the surrender at Fair Market Value of Stock, or by any combination of cash and shares of Stock, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property (including notes or other contractual obligations of Participants to make payment on a deferred basis, such as through "cashless exercise" arrangements, to the extent permitted by applicable law), and the methods by which Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants.

(iii) Incentive Stock Options. The terms of any Option granted under the Plan as an ISO shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, including, but not limited to, the requirement that no ISO shall be granted more than ten years after the effective date of the Plan.

(c) Performance Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Units to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

4

(i) Performance Criteria and Period. At the time it makes an award of Performance Units, the Committee shall establish both the performance goal or goals and the performance period or periods applicable to the Performance Units so awarded. A performance goal shall be a goal, expressed in terms of growth in book value, earnings per share, return on equity or any other financial or other measurement deemed appropriate by the Committee, or may relate to the results of operations or other measurable progress of either the Company as a whole or the Participant's Subsidiary, division or department. The performance period will be the period of time over which one or more of the performance goals must be achieved, which may be of such length as the Committee, in its discretion, shall select. Neither the performance goals nor the performance periods need be identical for all Performance Units awarded at any time or from time to time. The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to accelerate the time at which any performance period will expire or waive or modify the performance goals of any Participant or Participants. The Committee may also make such adjustments, to the extent it deems appropriate, to the performance goals for any Performance Units awarded to compensate for, or to reflect, any material changes which may have occurred in accounting practices, tax laws, other laws or regulations, the financial structure of the Company, acquisitions or dispositions of business or Subsidiaries or any unusual circumstances outside of management's control which, in the sole judgment of the Committee, alters or affects the computation of such performance goals or the performance of the Company or any relevant Subsidiary, division or department.

(ii) Value of Performance Units. The value of each Performance Unit at any time shall equal the book value per share of the Company's Stock, as such value appears on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of valuation.

(d) Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

(i) Restricted Period. Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions for such periods as shall be established by the Committee, in its discretion, at the time of such Award, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, or otherwise, as the Committee may determine.

(ii) Forfeiture. Restricted Stock shall be forfeitable to the Company upon termination of employment during the applicable restricted periods. The Committee, in its discretion, whether in an Award Agreement or anytime after an Award is made, may accelerate the time at which restrictions or forfeiture conditions will lapse or remove any such restrictions, including upon death, disability or retirement, whenever the Committee determines that such action is in the best interests of the Company.

(iii) Certificates for Stock. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, such certificates may bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

(iv) Rights as a Shareholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement, the Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Restricted Stock awarded to him or her, including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares and the right to receive all dividends or other distributions made with respect to such shares. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Stock, the Stock shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which the Stock has been distributed.

(e) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

(i) Right to Payment. An SAR shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (B) the grant price of the SAR as determined by the Committee as of the date of grant of the SAR, which grant price (except as provided in Section 7(a)) shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of grant.

5

(ii) Other Terms. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an SAR may be exercised in whole or in part, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by which Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, whether or not an SAR shall be in tandem with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. Limited SARs may be granted on such terms, not inconsistent with this Section 6(e), as the Committee may determine. Limited SARs may be either freestanding or in tandem with other Awards.

(f) Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of Cash Obligations. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock as a bonus, or to grant Stock or other Awards in lieu of Company or Subsidiary obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under other plans or compensatory arrangements; provided that, in the case of Participants subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, such cash amounts are determined under such other plans in a manner that complies with applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that the acquisition of Stock or Awards hereunder shall be exempt from Section 16(b) liability. Stock or Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall be determined by the Committee.

(g) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Stock-Based Awards in addition to those provided in Sections 6(b) and (d) through (e) hereof, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Stock delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 6(g) shall be purchased for such consideration and paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee shall determine.

(h) Cash Payments. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants Tax Bonuses and other cash payments, whether awarded separately or as a supplement to any Stock-Based Award. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards.

Section 7. Additional Provisions Applicable to Awards

(a) Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for, any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any business entity acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Subsidiary. If an Award is granted in substitution for another Award or award, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award or award in consideration for the grant of the new Award. Awards granted in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards or awards may be granted either as of the same time as, or a different time from, the grant of such other Awards or awards. The per share exercise price of any Option, grant price of any SAR, or purchase price of any other Award conferring a right to purchase Stock:

(i) granted in substitution for an outstanding Award or award, shall be not less than the lesser of (A) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the date such substitute Award is granted or (B) such Fair Market Value at that date, reduced to reflect the Fair Market Value at that date of the Award or award required to be surrendered by the Participant as a condition to receipt of the substitute Award; or

6

(ii) retroactively granted in tandem with an outstanding Award or award, shall not be less than the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock at the date of grant of the later Award or at the date of grant of the earlier Award or award.

(b) Exchange and Buy Out Provisions. The Committee may at any time offer to exchange or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash, Stock, other Awards (subject to Section 7(a)), or other property based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine and communicate to a Participant at the time that such offer is made.

(c) Performance Conditions. The right of a Participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee.

(d) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall, except as provided herein, be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any ISO, or any SAR granted in tandem therewith, exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant (or such shorter period as may be applicable under Section 422 of the Code).

(e) Form of Payment. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary upon the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property (and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis), in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee. (Such payments may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installments or deferred payments.) The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate any payment or transfer upon a change in control as defined by the Committee. The Committee may also authorize payment upon the exercise of an Option by net issuance or other cashless exercise methods.

(f) Loan Provisions. With the consent of the Committee, and subject at all times to laws and regulations and other binding obligations or provisions applicable to the Company, the Company may make, guarantee, or arrange for a loan or loans to a Participant with respect to the exercise of any Option or other payment in connection with any Award, including the payment by a Participant of any or all federal, state, or local income or other taxes due in connection with any Award. Subject to such limitations, the Committee shall have full authority to decide whether to make a loan or loans hereunder and to determine the amount, terms, and provisions of any such loan or loans, including the interest rate to be charged in respect of any such loan or loans, whether the loan or loans are to be with or without recourse against the borrower, the terms on which the loan is to be repaid and the conditions, if any, under which the loan or loans may be forgiven.

(g) Awards to Comply with Section 162(m). The Committee may (but is not required to) grant an Award pursuant to the Plan to a Participant who, in the year of grant, may be a "covered employee," within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, which is intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code (a "Performance-Based Award"). The right to receive a Performance-Based Award, other than Options and SARs granted at not less than Fair Market Value, shall be conditional upon the achievement of performance goals established by the Committee in writing at the time such Performance-Based Award is granted. Such performance goals, which may vary from Participant to Participant and Performance-Based Award to Performance-Based Award, shall be based upon the attainment by the Company or any Subsidiary, division or department of specific amounts of, or increases in, one or more of the following, any of which may be measured either in absolute terms or as compared to another company or companies: revenues, earnings, cash flow, net worth, book value, stockholders' equity, financial return ratios, market performance or total stockholder return, and/or the completion of certain business or capital transactions. Before any compensation pursuant to a Performance-Based Award is paid, the Committee shall certify in writing that the performance goals applicable to the Performance-Based Award were in fact satisfied.

7

The maximum amount which may be granted as Performance-Based Awards to any Participant in any calendar year shall not exceed (i) Stock-Based Awards for 100,000 shares of Stock (whether payable in cash or stock), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8(a) hereof, (ii) 100,000 Performance Units, (iii) a Tax Bonus payable with respect to the Stock-Based Awards described in clause (i) and Performance Units described in clause (ii), and (iv) cash payments (other than Tax Bonuses) of $1,000,000.

(h) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, all Awards granted under the Plan (including Performance-Based Awards) that are still outstanding and not yet vested or exercisable or which are subject to restrictions shall become immediately 100% vested in each Participant or shall be free of any restrictions, as of the first date that the definition of Change of Control has been fulfilled, and shall be exercisable for the remaining duration of the Award. All Awards that are exercisable as of the effective date of the Change of Control will remain exercisable for the remaining duration of the Award.

Section 8. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization; Acceleration in Certain Events

(a) In the event that the Committee shall determine that any stock dividend, recapitalization, forward split or Reverse Stock Split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Stock or the book value of the Company such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock which may thereafter be issued in connection with Awards, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, (iii) the aggregate number and kind of shares of Stock available under the Plan, (iv) the number of Performance Units which may thereafter be granted and the book value of the Company with respect to outstanding Performance Units, and (v) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment with respect to any outstanding Award; provided, however, in each case, that no adjustment shall be made which would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code with respect to ISOs or would adversely affect the status of a Performance-Based Award as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b) In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, events described in the preceding paragraph) affecting the Company or any Subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made in any outstanding Performance-Based Awards to the extent that such adjustment would adversely affect the status of that Performance-Based Award as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

8

Section 9. General Provisions

(a) Changes to the Plan and Awards. The Board of Directors of the Company may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or the Committee's authority to grant Awards under the Plan without the consent of the Company's stockholders or Participants, except that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination shall be subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders within one year after such Board action if such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the Board may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such changes to the Plan to the stockholders for approval; provided, however, that without the consent of an affected Participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination of the Plan may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto; provided, however, that without the consent of an affected Participant, no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination of any Award may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Award.

The foregoing notwithstanding, any performance condition specified in connection with an Award shall not be deemed a fixed contractual term, but shall remain subject to adjustment by the Committee, in its discretion at any time in view of the Committee's assessment of the Company's strategy, performance of comparable companies, and other circumstances, except to the extent that any such adjustment to a performance condition would adversely affect the status of a Performance-Based Award as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Plan is ratified by the stockholders of the Company at the Company's 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then unless approved by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment will: (i) change the class of persons eligible to receive Awards; (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, or (iii) increase the number of shares of Stock or the number of Performance Units subject to the Plan.

(b) No Right to Award or Employment. No employee or other person shall have any claim or right to receive an Award under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary.

(c) Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock or any payroll or other payment to a Participant amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant's tax obligations.
