Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

(a) On August 7, 2009, in connection with the appointment of Randall J. Frapart as Chief Financial Officer, US Dataworks, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an engagement agreement with Mr. Frapart and Albeck Financial Services, Inc. ("Albeck") pursuant to which Mr. Frapart will serve as the Company's Chief Financial Officer (the "Agreement"). The terms and conditions of the Agreement include the following:

(1) The term of the Agreement is for a one-year period beginning effective as of July 15, 2009, with the term automatically extending for successive one-year periods unless either party provides the other party with a non-renewal notice at least sixty days prior to the end of the applicable term.

(2) The fees payable to Albeck for Mr. Frapart's services as the Company's Chief Financial Officer under the Agreement will be $15,000 per month plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

(3) The Agreement provides that, in connection with his appointment, Mr. Frapart is to be granted a stock option to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.28 per share, which was the closing sales price of the Company's common stock on August 7, 2009, the date the Agreement was entered into. The stock option will vest on the earlier to occur of (i) July 15, 2010 or (ii) the date on which Mr. Frapart becomes a full-time employee of the Company. The stock option will be deemed forfeited and canceled if prior to its vesting, the Agreement is terminated for any reason or either party provides a non-renewal notice to the other party. The stock option will be governed by the US Dataworks, Inc. Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Stock Plan") and the written stock option agreement evidencing the grant.

(4) The Agreement provides that Mr. Frapart will be eligible to receive performance bonuses consistent with the performance bonus eligibility of other executive officers reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

(5) The Agreement provides that Mr. Frapart and Albeck are bound by (i) certain confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations during the term of the Agreement and at all times thereafter, (ii) certain non-compete obligations during the term of the Agreement and for a period of six months thereafter, and (iii) certain non-solicitation obligations during the term of the Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter.

(6) The Agreement provides that (i) Mr. Frapart will be entitled to the same indemnification from the Company for his acts and omissions as an officer of the Company to which other officers of the Company are entitled and (ii) Mr. Frapart and, if possible, Albeck will be included as named insureds under the Company's D&O and other liability insurance policies.

(7) The Agreement provides that the Company may terminate the Agreement for any reason provided that if the termination is not for Cause (as defined in the Agreement), the Company will be obligated to pay Albeck a termination fee equal to the lesser of (i) $45,000 and (ii) the amount of services fees remaining to be paid for the remaining term of the Agreement (the "Termination Fee"). In addition, if the Company materially breaches the Agreement and fails to cure such breach, Albeck may terminate the Agreement, in which case the Company will be obligated to pay Albeck the Termination Fee.
