                               US DATAWORKS, INC.
                         DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                                       FOR
                         ___________________ (OPTIONEE)

                                    AGREEMENT

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. US Dataworks, Inc. (the "Company"), hereby grants,
as of _________ (date), to ___________________ (the "Optionee"), in connection
with Optionee's services as an Outside Director, an option (the "Option") to
purchase up to _______ shares of the Company's Common Stock, $0.0001 par value
per share (the "Shares"), at an exercise price per share equal to $_________.
The Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The
Option was issued pursuant to the automatic grant provisions of Section 5(b) of
the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Option is a Nonstatutory
Stock Option. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and
agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions hereof and thereof and all
applicable laws and regulations.

         2. DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise provided herein, terms used herein
that are defined in the Plan and not defined herein shall have the meanings
attributed thereto in the Plan.

         3. EXERCISE SCHEDULE. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6 or 9
of this Agreement, or in the Plan, the Option is exercisable in installments as
provided below, which shall be cumulative. To the extent that the Option has
become exercisable with respect to a percentage of Shares as provided below, the
Option may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, in whole or in part, at any
time or from time to time prior to the expiration of the Option as provided
herein. The following table indicates each date (the "Vesting Date") upon which
the Optionee shall be entitled to exercise the Option with respect to the
percentage of Shares granted as indicated beside the date, provided that the
Optionee has continued as a Service Provider through and including the
applicable Vesting Date:

             NUMBER OF SHARES                             VESTING DATE
             ----------------                             ------------



         Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, there shall be no
proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and
all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate Vesting Date. Upon an Optionee's
termination of Service, any unvested portion of the Option shall terminate and
be null and void.

         4. METHOD OF EXERCISE. The vested portion of this Option shall be
exercisable in whole or in part in accordance with the exercise schedule set
forth in Section 3 hereof by written notice which shall state the election to
exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is
being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the
holder's investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the
Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be
signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to
the Secretary of the Company. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment
of the exercise price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised after both


<PAGE>

(a) receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the exercise
price and (b) arrangements that are satisfactory to the Committee in its sole
discretion have been made for Optionee's payment to the Company of the amount,
if any, that is necessary to be withheld in accordance with applicable Federal
or state withholding requirements. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the
Option unless and until such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all
relevant provisions of applicable law, including the requirements of any stock
exchange upon which the Shares then may be traded.

         5. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the exercise price shall be by any of
the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee: (a)
cash; (b) check; (c) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon
exercise of an Option have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6)
months on the date of surrender (or such other Shares as the Company determines
will not cause the Company to recognize for financial accounting purposes a
charge for compensation expense), and (y) have a Fair Market Value (as defined
in the Plan) on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of
the Shares to which such Option shall be exercised; (d) if the Shares are
publicly traded, a broker-assisted cashless exercise through a brokerage firm
approved by the Company, or (e) such other consideration or in such other manner
as may be determined by the Board or the Committee in its absolute discretion. A
form of payment will not be available if the Board or Committee determines, in
its sole and absolute discretion, that such form of payment could violate any
law or regulation.

         6. TERMINATION OF OPTION.

                  (a) Any unexercised portion of the Option shall automatically
and without notice terminate and become null and void at the time of the
earliest to occur of:

                           (i) two years after the date on which the Optionee
ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason other than Cause, which, solely
for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean the termination of the Optionee's
Service by reason of the Optionee's willful misconduct or gross negligence;

                           (ii) immediately upon the date of the termination of
the Optionee's Service for Cause; or

                           (iii) the tenth anniversary of the date as of which
the Option is granted.

                  (b) To the extent not previously exercised, (i) the Option
shall terminate immediately in the event of (1) the liquidation or dissolution
of the Company, or (2) any merger or asset sale or other form of corporate
transaction in which the Company does not survive (as described in Section 11(c)
of the Plan), unless the successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of
such successor corporation, assumes the Option or substitutes an equivalent
option or right pursuant to Section 11(c) of the Plan, and (ii) the Committee or
the Board in its sole discretion may by written notice ("cancellation notice")
cancel, effective upon the consummation of any merger or asset sale or other
form of corporate transaction in which the Company does survive (as described in
Section 11(c) of the Plan), the Option (or portion thereof) that remains
unexercised on such date. The Committee or the Board shall give written notice
of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 6(b) a reasonable period
of time as shall be determined by the Administrator prior to the closing date
for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after approval

                                       2
<PAGE>

of such transaction), in order that Optionee may have a reasonable period of
time as shall be determined by the Administrator within which to exercise the
Option if and to the extent that it then is exercisable (including any portion
of the Option that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such
transaction). The Optionee may condition his exercise of the Option upon the
consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 6(b).

         7. TRANSFERABILITY. The Option is not transferable otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of the
Optionee the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee. However, it may
during the Optionee's lifetime also be transferred to and may thereafter be
exercised by members of the Optionee's immediate family, or a partnership whose
members include only the Optionee and/or members of the Optionee's immediate
family, or a trust for the benefit of only the Optionee and/or members of the
Optionee's immediate family, pursuant to gift or a domestic relations order. As
used herein, the Optionee's immediate family includes only the Optionee's
spouse, parents or other ancestors, and children and other direct descendants of
the Optionee or of the Optionee's spouse (including such ancestors and
descendants by adoption). The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

         8. NO RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS. Neither the Optionee nor any personal
representative (or beneficiary) shall be, or shall have any of the rights and
privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Stock
purchasable or issuable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part,
prior to the date of exercise of the Option.

         9. ACCELERATION OF EXERCISABILITY OF OPTION. This Option shall become
immediately and fully exercisable in the event that (a) the Option is terminated
pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) hereof, (b) the Committee or the Board exercises its
discretion to provide a cancellation notice with respect to the Option pursuant
to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, or (c) there is a Change in Control.

         10. NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED SERVICE. Neither the Option nor this
Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continued Service.

         11. LAW GOVERNING. This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with
and governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada.

         12. INTERPRETATION / PROVISIONS OF PLAN CONTROL. This Agreement is
subject to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan, including,
without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules,
regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan adopted by the Committee or
the Board as may be in effect from time to time. If and to the extent that this
Agreement conflicts or is inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions
of the Plan, the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be
modified accordingly. The Optionee accepts the Option subject to all the terms
and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. The undersigned Optionee hereby
accepts as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the
Committee or the Board upon any questions arising under the Plan and this
Agreement.

         13. NOTICES. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally or when
deposited in the United States mail, registered, postage prepaid, and addressed,
