NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.   Organization and Business
 
    General
 
    US Dataworks, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, develops, markets, and supports payment processing software for the financial services industry. Its customer base includes many of the largest financial institutions as well as credit card companies, government institutions, and high-volume merchants in the United States. The Company was formerly known as Sonicport, Inc.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
 
    These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire year ending March 31, 2007.
 
    Revenue Recognition
 
    The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”). The Company licenses its software products under nonexclusive, nontransferable license agreements. These arrangements do not require significant production, modification, or customization. Therefore, revenue is recognized when such a license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software product has occurred, the related fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.
 
    In certain instances, the Company licenses its software on a transactional fee basis in lieu of an up-front licensing fee. In these arrangements, the customer is charged a fee based upon the number of items processed by the software and the Company recognizes revenue as these transactions occur. The transaction fee also includes the provision of standard maintenance and support services as well as product upgrades should such upgrades become available.
 
    If professional services were provided in conjunction with the installation of the software licensed, revenue is recognized when these services have been provided.
 
    For license agreements that include a separately identifiable fee for contracted maintenance services, such maintenance revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance agreement noted in the agreement, but following any installation period of the software.

    Goodwill
 
    Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), which establishes new accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, all goodwill amortization ceased effective January 1, 2002.
 
    The goodwill recorded on the Company’s books is from the acquisition of US Dataworks, Inc. in fiscal year 2001 which remains the Company’s single reporting unit. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill for each reporting unit of an entity to be tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation approaches. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for each reportable unit. On an ongoing basis, absent any impairment indicators, the Company performs impairment tests annually during the fourth quarter.
 
    SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested annually and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reportable unit below its carrying amount. The Company did not have an impairment of goodwill to record for the years ended March 31, 2006 or March 31, 2005. In addition, during the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the company noted no events or circumstances that would indicate the need to evaluate the impairment of its goodwill.
 
    Convertible Debt Financing – Derivative Liabilities
 
    The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
 
    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended (“SFAS 133”), the convertible debt holder’s conversion right provision, interest rate adjustment provision, liquidated damages clause, cash premium option, and the redemption option (collectively, the debt features) contained in the terms governing the convertible notes are not clearly and closely related to the characteristics of the notes. Accordingly, the features qualify as embedded derivative instruments at issuance and, because they do not qualify for any scope exception within SFAS 133, they are required by SFAS 133 to be accounted for separately from the debt instrument and recorded as derivative instrument liabilities
 
    Stock Options
 
    Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), which require the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of April 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2007. The Company’s Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2006 was $127,067 and $517,639 respectively, which consists of stock-based compensation expense related to employee and director stock options and restricted stock issuances.

Table of Contents

    SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the company’s Statement of Operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense had been recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations prior to January 1, 2006 because the exercise price of the Company’s stock options granted to employees and directors was equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. The Company’s pro forma information for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2006 is as follows:
                 
    For the Three Months Ending   For the Nine Months
    Ending Dec 31, 2005   Dec 31, 2005
    As Restated   As Restated
Net loss as reported
  $ (800,897 )   $ (770,462 )

  $ (116,567 )   $ (229,024 )

  $ (0.03 )   $ (0.03 )
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, pro forma
  $ (0.03 )   $ (0.03 )
    The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005: dividend yields of 0%; expected volatility of 89%; risk-free interest rates of 4.34% and 4.07% respectively; and expected lives of 3 years. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 there were -0- and 1,161,900 respectively of options granted.
 
    Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Compensation expense recognized for all employee stock options awards granted is recognized over their respective vesting periods unless the vesting period is graded. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.
 
    Upon adoption of SFAS 123R the Company continued to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which requires management to make certain assumptions for estimating the fair value of employee stock options granted at the date of the grant. In determining the compensation cost of the options granted during the three and nine months ended December 31 2006, as specified by SFAS 123R, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the weighted average assumptions used in these calculations are summarized as follows:
                 
    For the Three Months Ending   For the Nine Months Ending
    December 31, 2006   December 31, 2006
     
Risk-free Interest Rate
    4.69 %     4.89 %

    As of December 31, 2006, there was approximately $332,267 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 3 years .
 
    Earnings (Loss) per Share
 
    The Company calculates loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. For periods in which there was a loss attributable to common stock outstanding, (i) convertible securities, (ii) warrants and (iii) stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were excluded from the calculations of diluted loss per share, as inclusion of these securities would have reduced the net loss per share.
 
    The following potential common stock equivalents have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because the effect would have been anti-dilutive (options and warrants typically convert on a one-for-one basis, see conversion details of the preferred stock stated below for the common stock shares issuable upon conversion):

    Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
    The Company sells its products throughout the United States and extends credit to its customers. It also performs ongoing credit evaluations of such customers. The Company does not obtain collateral to secure its accounts receivable. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectibility and provides for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.
 
    Four of the Company’s customers accounted for 20%, 17%, 17% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Three customers accounted for 29%, 19% and 12%, respectively, of net revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Three customers accounted for 43%, 25% and 12% of net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Two customers accounted for 51% and 20%, respectively, of net revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2005.
 
    At December 31, 2006, amounts due from significant customers accounted for 67% of accounts receivable.

3.   Restatement of Quarterly Information
 
    The Company concluded that it was necessary to restate its financial results for the interim period ended September 30, 2005, to reflect additional non-operating gains and losses related to certain features included is the Company’s debt that require derivative treatment.
 
    The Company had previously classified the value of its conversion features and warrants to purchase common stock as debt discounts. After further review, the Company has determined that these instruments should have been recorded as derivative liabilities and therefore, the fair value of each instrument must be recorded as a derivative liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Changes in the fair values of these instruments will result in adjustments to the amount of the recorded derivative liabilities and the corresponding gain or loss will be recorded in the Company’s statement of operations. At the date of the conversion of each respective instrument or portion thereof (or exercise of the options or warrants or portion thereof, as the case may be), the corresponding derivative liability will be reclassified as equity.

    This note is an amendment and restatement of a note in the same principal amount originally dated September 15, 2004. The original note was issued effective September 15, 2004 in connection with the November 2004 settlement of a lawsuit brought by an investor in December 2003. The amended note is convertible at any time, at the holder’s election, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share conversion price of $1.10, subject to standard antidilution provisions.
 
    The amended note is effective September 15, 2005 and extended the principal payment of $256,067 originally due September 15, 2005 for one year. The final principal payment of $256,066 is due on September 15, 2007. In consideration of this amendment, the Company issued the holder a common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.59 per share. The warrant will expire on September 15, 2008.

Table of Contents

    The changes to this debt caused the accounting treatment to be an extinguishment of the old debt and issuance of new debt instead of being treated as modification of debt. Therefore, the excess of the fair value of the note and warrants over the carrying amount of the debt is $206,000 and has been recorded as a loss on extinguishment for the year ended March 31, 2006.
 
    In connection with the November 2004 settlement, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 160,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share, which warrant will expire on November 10, 2006.
 
    Using the Black-Scholes pricing model the Company has determined the value of the warrants issued in connection with the settlement to be $126,000. This amount, together with the value of the convertible promissory note, the value of the plaintiff’s legal expense reimbursement and the Company’s legal costs incurred in connection with the settlement totaled $924,200 and has been recorded as Investor litigation settlement expense for the year ended March 31, 2005.
 
    Convertible promissory note issued June 16, 2005 with $70,000 Original Issue Discount
 
    On June 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor (the “Debenture Agreement”) for the sale of a convertible debenture with a principal amount of $770,000 and an original issue discount of $70,000 for gross proceeds of $700,000. The debenture is convertible at anytime at the discretion of the holder at a price per share of $0.572 into 1,346,154 shares of the Company’s common stock. The convertible debenture is to be repaid in 15 monthly installments of $51,333.33 beginning April 15, 2006. The Company may also elect, upon proper notice, to pay any monthly installment in shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the then applicable conversion price, or (ii) 90% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the payment; provided, that, such conversion price must be at least equal to the conversion floor of $0.23, or such monthly installment must be paid in cash. This convertible debenture was amended on March 9, 2006, pursuant to which the Company must, within 25 calendar days prior to each monthly payment, deliver 89,744 shares of its common stock to the holders, which represents the monthly installment amount divided by the then conversion price with the first monthly payment becoming due on April 17, 2006. In connection with the Debenture Agreement, the Company issued two groups of warrants, Short Term Warrants and Long Term Warrants to the institutional investor. The Short Term Warrants allow the institutional investor to purchase an aggregate of 407,926 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.572 per share exercisable for a period of 180 days at any time after the later of (i) the effective date of the registration statement (as described below) or (ii) December 16, 2005. The Long Term Warrants allow the institutional investor to purchase an aggregate of 471,154 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.572 per share exercisable at anytime from December 16, 2005 through December 16, 2008; provided, however, the institutional investor will not be permitted to exercise a warrant to the extent that the number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by such institutional investor taken together with the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrant equals or exceeds 4.999% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The warrants also contain trading market restrictions that preclude the Company from issuing shares of common stock upon exercise thereof if such issuance, when aggregated with other issuances of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the warrants, would exceed 19.999% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock, unless the Company has previously obtained the required shareholder approval. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated June 16, 2005 between the Company and the institutional investor, the Company agreed to file a registration statement for the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued to the institutional investor upon the conversion of the convertible debenture and the exercise of the Short Term Warrants and the Long Term Warrants. The registration statement covering these securities was effective on September 1, 2005.
 
    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), the debt features contained in the terms governing the notes are not clearly and closely related to the characteristics of the notes. Accordingly, the debt features qualify as embedded derivative instruments at issuance and, because they did not qualify for any scope exception within SFAS 133, they were required to be accounted for separately from the debt instrument and recorded as derivative financial instruments.

Table of Contents

    At the date of issuance, the embedded debt feature had an estimated initial fair value of $449,089, which was recorded as a discount to the convertible notes and derivative liability on our balance sheet. In subsequent periods, if the price of the security changes, the embedded derivative financial instrument related to the debt features will be adjusted to the fair value with the corresponding charge or credit to other income/(expense). The estimated fair value of the debt features was determined using the probability weighted averaged expected cash flows / Lattice Model with a closing price of $0.65, a conversion price as defined in the respective note agreement and a period of two years. Concerning the debt features, the model uses several assumptions including: historical stock price volatility, approximate risk-free interest rate (3.5%), remaining term to maturity, and the closing price of the company’s common stock to determine the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, due in part to a decrease in the market value of the Company’s common stock , the Company recorded an other income item on the statement of operations for the change in fair value of the embedded debt feature of approximately $29,419. At December 31, 2006, the estimated fair value of the embedded debt feature was approximately $39,034.
 
    The recorded value of the embedded debt feature related to this debt can fluctuate significantly based on fluctuations in the fair value of the Company’s common stock.
 
    The warrants included with this note for purchase of the Company’s common stock had an initial value of $271,940. This amount has been classified as a derivative financial instrument and recorded as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet in accordance with SFAS 133. The estimated fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with a closing price of $1.14, the respective exercise price of the warrants, a 2 year term, and a 90% volatility factor relative to the date of issuance. The model uses several assumptions including: historical stock price volatility, approximate risk-free interest rate (3.50%), remaining term to maturity, and the closing price of the company’s common stock to determine the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 133, the Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the instrument to its fair value at each balance sheet date and recognize any change since the prior balance sheet date as a component of other income/ (expense) on its statement of operations. The warrant derivative liability at December 31, 2006, decreased to a fair value of $70,826, due in part to a decrease in the market value of the company’s common stock, which resulted in an other income item of $6,638.
 
    The recorded value of the warrants can fluctuate significantly based on fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities of the issuer of the warrants, as well as in the volatility of the stock price during the term used for observation and the term remaining for the warrants.
 
    Due to changes in value upon the conversion of this debt when shares were issued for required principal payments, additional losses were incurred amounting to $73,946. This loss is the result of differences in the settlement method and the assumptions that were used in the original derivative valuation.
 
7.   Accounts Receivable Facility
 
    On September 27, 2006, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Catalyst Finance, L.P. (“Catalyst”) for sale of certain of its accounts receivables. The Company’s borrowing costs under this Agreement range from 1.25% to 20% of the gross amount of the receivables sold to Catalyst based on the timing of collection. The maximum funds available under the agreement are all available accounts receivables as agreed to by Catalyst and the Company. The agreement allows for Catalyst to request repurchase of an account receivable under certain conditions. For the three and nine months period ended December 31, 2006, Catalyst has not requested repurchase of an account receivable. To date, the Company has sold $305,350 in receivables under the agreement, which yielded a loss on the sale of these receivables of $6,597. The Agreement will continue in effect until terminated by either party.

Using the Black-Scholes pricing model the Company has determined the value of the warrants issued in connection with this November 22, 2005 agreement to be $185,000. This amount, less the $25,000 proceeds received, has been recorded as Financing costs expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005.

    The Company granted 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to the Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer and 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer associated with employment agreements reached with each. The shares are granted under the 1999 stock option plan (the “1999 plan”) as amended and restated by the 2000 stock option plan (the “2000 plan”). The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the relative fair value of these shares at the time of issuance. The Company has determined that the aggregate fair value of the restricted shares granted to be $97,090.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed below, as well as risks related to our ability to develop and timely introduce products that address market demand, the impact of alternative technological advances and competitive products, market fluctuations, our ability to obtain future financing, our ability to close our transaction with Hyundai, performance under the Hyundai agreement, and the risks set forth below under “Factors That May Affect Our Results.” These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Critical Accounting Policies
     The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     We believe that of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements (see Note 2 to the Financial Statements), the following are critical accounting policies, which may involve a higher degree of judgment, complexity and estimates.
Revenue Recognition
     We recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” or SOP 97-2. We license our software products under non-exclusive, non-transferable license agreements. These arrangements do not require significant production, modification or customization, therefore revenue is recognized when the license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software product has occurred, the related fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable.
     In certain instances, we license our software on a transactional fee basis in lieu of an up-front licensing fee. In these arrangements, the customer is charged a fee based upon the number of items processed by the software and we recognize revenue as these transactions occur. The transaction fee also includes the provision of standard maintenance and support services as well as product upgrades should such upgrades become available.
     If professional services are provided in conjunction with the installation of the software licensed, revenue is recognized when those services have been provided.
     For license agreements that include a separately identifiable fee for contracted maintenance services, such revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance agreement noted in the license agreement, but following any installation period of the software.

Goodwill
     Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” or SFAS No. 142, which establishes new accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, all goodwill amortization ceased effective January 1, 2002.
     The goodwill recorded on our books is from the acquisition of US Dataworks, Inc. in fiscal year 2001, which remains our single reporting unit. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill for each reporting unit of an entity to be tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation approaches. Significant estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for each reportable unit. On an ongoing basis, absent any impairment indicators, the Company performs impairment tests annually during the fourth quarter.
     SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested annually and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reportable unit below its carrying amount. We did not have an impairment of goodwill to record for the years ended March 31, 2006 or March 31, 2005. In addition, during the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the company noted no events or circumstances that would indicate the need to evaluate the impairment of its goodwill.
Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
     We extend credit to our customers and perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We do not obtain collateral from our customers to secure our accounts receivable. We evaluate our accounts receivable on a regular basis for collectibility and provide for an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.
     Four of our customers accounted for 20%, 17%, 17% and 12%, respectively, of our net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Three customers accounted for 29%, 19% and 12%, respectively, of net revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Three customers accounted for 43%, 25% and 12% of net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Two customers accounted for 51% and 20%, respectively, of net revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2005.
     At December 31, 2006, amounts due from significant customers accounted for 67% of accounts receivable.
Results of Operations
     The results of operations reflected in this discussion include our operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
      Revenues
     We generate revenues from (a) licensing software with fees due at the initial term of the license, (b) licensing and supporting software with fees due on a transactional basis, (c) providing maintenance, enhancement and support for previously licensed products and (d) providing professional services.

     Licensing revenues increased 6% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and decreased 67% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same periods last year. The three month increase is primarily related to the increase in sales of 3 rd party software add-ons by our new customers. The nine month decrease is primarily due to $1,532,000 of license revenue recorded, on a percentage of completion, in the prior year period associated with amending our license agreement with American Express Company, a significant customer, in August 2005. During the nine months ended December 31, 2006, we recorded $59,500 of license revenue under this agreement, all of which was recorded in the three month ended December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, $59,500 of license revenue remains to be recorded under this agreement.
     Transactional revenues increased 125% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 75% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same periods last year. These increases are principally a result of an increase in the number of customers utilizing our software solutions on a transaction fee basis and an increase in utilization of our software solutions by our current customers.
     Maintenance revenues increased 4% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and decreased 5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same periods last year. The decrease for the nine months is primarily related to an increase in customers utilizing our software solution on transaction basis. As we continue to have success in adding new customers whose license and support contracts are based upon transactional pricing, we expect our annual maintenance fees to remain flat or decrease. However, we expect this trend to be partially offset by annual maintenance fees generated under our license agreement with American Express Company, which provides for an annual maintenance fee. We expect to receive approximately $400,000 in fiscal 2007 under this agreement.
     Professional service revenues increased 50% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 30% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same periods last year. These increases were principally the result of additional service revenues recorded in connection with our consulting agreement with American Express, which we signed in June 2005. In connection with this consulting agreement, we received a purchase order for $1,200,000 in professional services in August 2005, which we fully recorded in March 2006. We received an additional purchase order for $1,521,250 in professional services in September 2006, of which we recorded $304,650 and $939,131 in the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2006, respectively. In addition, under our agreement with Online Resources Corporation, which we signed in June 2006, we recorded $131,625 and $390,937 in the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2006, respectively.
      Cost of Sales
     Costs of sales principally include the costs of our personnel who perform the services associated with our software maintenance, support, training and installation activities as well as the cost of Accuity EPICWare™ software frequently resold in conjunction with licenses of our software. Cost of sales increased by $219,027, or 68%, from $321,100 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 to $540,127 for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Cost of sales increased by $455,898, or 41%, from $1,103,956 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $1,559,854 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The increases were principally the result of increased labor costs associated with the service activities that resulted in a 50% and 30% increase in professional service revenues for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods last year.

      Operating Expenses
     Total operating expenses increased by $49,764, or 4%, from $1,352,720 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 to $1,402,484 for the three months ended December 31, 2006.
     The overall increase in operating expenses in the three month period is principally due to a $163,000 increase in legal fees primarily related to our investigation of potential acquisition targets, $127,000 in stock-based compensation expense, offset by a reduction of $132,000 in salary expense, and a $75,000 reduction in various marketing, accounting, depreciation and office expenses. This decrease in expenses is a result of a reduction in the number of more highly compensated personnel as compared to the same period last year.
     Total operating expenses increased by $565,199, or 13%, from $4,436,724 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $5,001,923 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The increase in operating expenses in the nine month period is principally attributable to an increase of $517,000 in stock-based compensation expense related to our adoption of FSAS 123R at the beginning of this fiscal year, $347,000 in legal fees related to our investigation of potential acquisition targets and legal fees related to arbitration hearings of two former employees, a $300,000 increase in outside consulting services and a $128,000 increase in bonus payments to executive officers and salesmen relating to employment contracts. These expenses were offset by a decrease of $452,000 in salary expense, a $164,000 decrease in depreciation expense, $89,000 reduction in advertising and marketing expense and a $19,000 reduction in insurance expenses. This decrease in expenses is a result of a reduced number of staff over the first half of the current year as compared to the same time period last year. The increase in the overall staff for the year occurred late in the current period ending Dec 31, 2006. Additionally, on March 31, 2006, a significant asset became fully depreciated accounting for the reduction in depreciation expense for the current year. We anticipate that our operating expense will continue to increase going forward as we expect to continue to add to staff, engage outside consulting services when needed and pursue any strategic opportunities as they become available. Our headcount at December 31, 2006 was 41 compared to 38 at December 31, 2005.
      Other Expenses
     Other expenses, including interest expense and financing costs, decreased $115,163 or 54% from $213,630 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 to $98,467 for the three months ended December 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily related to our November 2005 agreement with an institutional investor related to the issuance of a common stock purchase warrant in exchange for the investor waiving all rights the investor may have related to our September 15, 2005 amended note agreement with another individual investor (see Note 6). The common stock purchase warrant allows the investor to purchase up to 650,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.59 per share, which warrant will expire on November 22, 2008. Using the Black-Scholes pricing model we have determined the value of the warrant issued in connection with this November 22, 2005 agreement to be $185,000. This amount, less the $25,000 proceeds received, was recorded as Financing costs expense for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
     Other expenses, including interest expense and financing costs, increased $63,258, or 49%, from $128,967 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to $192,225 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.
      Net Loss
     Net loss decreased $479,706, or 60%, from $800,897 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 to a net loss of $321,192 for the three months ended December 31, 2006.
     Net loss increased by $1,226,891, or 160%, from $770,462 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 to a net loss of $1,997,353 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations for the last three fiscal years. We have obtained our required cash resources through the sale of debt and equity securities. We may not operate profitably in the future and may be required to continue the sale of debt and equity securities to finance our operations.
     We have specific plans to address our financial situation as follows:
    We received a purchase order for professional services from American Express Company in September 2006 that we expect will generate revenue sufficient to significantly reduce the negative cash flows from our operations for fiscal 2007.
 
    Additionally, we believe that the demand for our software and professional services will continue to expand as the United States market adopts the new payment processing opportunities available under changing regulations such as the Check Clearing Act for the 21 st Century and NACHA’s back office conversion, which allows the conversion of paper checks in the back offices of retail merchants and government. We believe that increased demand for our solutions, including our recently introduced Clearingworks product, will lead to increased cash flows from up-front license fees, transaction based contract fees and increases in professional services revenues.
 
    We have entered into a strategic alliance with one of the largest merchant service providers, or MSP, which will allow this MSP to sell Clearingworks as part of its ARC and back office conversion services. We expect this alliance to positively affect our profitability.
 
    Our alliance with Hyundai Syscomm Corp. will allow the us to resale, automated teller machines enhanced with our software. We expect this alliance to positively affect our profitability.
     There can be no assurance that our planned activities will be successful or that we will ultimately attain profitability. Our long term viability depends on our ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to fund the continuation of our business operations and to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows to sustain our operations. We will need to increase revenues from software licenses, transaction based software license contracts and professional services agreements to become profitable.
     Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,207,931 from $1,290,438 at March 31, 2006 to $82,507 at December 31, 2006. Cash used for operating activities was $1,046,700 in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1,609,699 in the same nine month period in the prior year.
     Cash used for investing activities of $149,098 and $112,135 in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, was due to equipment purchases.
     Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, was $12,133 compared to cash provided of $1,310,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Financing activities in the current nine month period included: proceeds of $500,000 from a related party loan, and the payment of $512,133 on the amended and restated convertible promissory note date September 15, 2005.
     As a result of our recent capital raising transactions, our increased level of transactional revenues achieved in fiscal 2007, and the expected increase in revenues from recently received purchase orders and contemplated contracts, we believe we currently have adequate capital resources to fund our anticipated cash needs through June 30, 2007 and beyond. However, an adverse business or legal development could require us to raise additional financing sooner than anticipated. We recognize that we may be required to raise such additional capital, at times and in amounts, which are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. If we are unable to acquire additional capital or are required to raise it on terms that are less satisfactory than we desire, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In the event we raise additional equity, these financings may result in dilution to existing shareholders.

Factors That May Affect Our Results
We have a general history of losses and may not operate profitably in the future.
     We have incurred losses for the last three fiscal years. Our net losses and negative cash flow may continue for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2006, our accumulated deficit was $(49,108,291). We believe that our planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on our ability to promote our brand name and gain clients and expand our relationships with clients for whom we would provide licensing agreements and system integration. Accordingly, we intend to invest heavily in marketing, strategic partnerships, development of our client base and development of our marketing technology and operating infrastructure. If we are not successful in promoting our brand name and expanding our client base, it will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to continue to operate our business.
Our ability to continue as a going concern may be contingent upon our ability to secure capital from prospective investors or lenders.
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We believe we currently have adequate cash to fund anticipated cash needs through June 30, 2007. However, we may need to raise additional capital in the future. Any equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, will increase expenses and may involve restrictive covenants. We may be required to raise additional capital, at times and in amounts that are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Under these circumstances, if we are unable to obtain additional capital or are required to raise it on undesirable terms, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, which could require us to:
    curtail our operations significantly;
 
    sell significant assets;
 
    seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require us to relinquish significant rights to products, technologies or markets; or
 
    explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of US Dataworks.
          Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our operating results are subject to fluctuations caused by many factors that could cause us to fail to achieve our revenue or profitability expectations, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.
     Our operating results can vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may affect our quarterly operating results include:
    market acceptance of and changes in demand for our products and services;
 
    gain or loss of clients or strategic relationships;
 
    announcement or introduction of new software, services and products by us or by our competitors;
 
    our ability to build brand recognition;
 
    timing of sales to customers;

23


Table of Contents

 
    price competition;
 
    our ability to upgrade and develop systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth;
 
    our ability to attract and integrate new personnel in a timely and effective manner;
 
    our ability to introduce and market products and services in accordance with market demand;
 
    changes in governmental regulation;
 
    reduction in or delay of capital spending by our clients due to the effects of terrorism, war and political instability; and
 
    general economic conditions, including economic conditions specific to the financial services industry.
     In addition, each quarter we derive a significant portion of our revenue from agreements signed at the end of the quarter. Our operating results could suffer if the timing of these agreements is delayed. Depending on the type of agreements we enter into, we may not be able to recognize revenue under these agreements in the quarter in which they are signed. Some of all of these factors could negatively affect demand for our products and services, and our future operating results.
     Most of our operating expenses are relatively fixed in the short-term. We may be unable to adjust spending rapidly to compensate for any unexpected sales shortfall, which could harm our quarterly operating results. Because of the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we do not have the ability to predict future operating results with any certainty. Because of the above factors, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of results of operation as an indication of future performances.
We may not be able to maintain our relationships with strategic partners, which may cause our cash flow to decline.
     We may not be able to maintain our relationships with strategic partners, such as BancTec and Computer Sciences Corporation. These strategic relationships are a core component of our sales and distribution strategy. The loss of a strategic partner could harm our financial results.
Because a small number of customers have historically accounted for and may in future periods account for substantial portions of our revenue, our revenue could decline because of delays of customer orders or the failure to retain customers.
     We have a small number of customers that account for a significant portion of our revenue. Our revenue could decline because of a delay in signing agreements with a single customer or the failure to retain an existing customer. Furthermore, we may not obtain additional customers. The failure to obtain additional customers and the failure to retain existing customers will harm our operating results.
If general economic and business conditions do not improve, we may experience decreased revenue or lower growth rates.
     The revenue growth and profitability of our business depends on the overall demand for computer software and services in the product segments in which we compete. Because our sales are primarily to major banking and government customers, our business also depends on general economic and business conditions. A softening of demand caused by a weakening of the economy may result in decreased revenue or lower growth rates. As a result, we may not be able to effectively promote future license revenue growth in our application business.

We may not be able to attract, retain or integrate key personnel, which may prevent us from successfully operating our business.
     We may not be able to retain our key personnel or attract other qualified personnel in the future. Our success will depend upon the continued service of key management personnel. The loss of services of any of the key members of our management team or our failure to attract and retain other key personnel could disrupt operations and have a negative effect on employee productivity and morale and harm our financial results.
We operate in a market that is intensely and increasingly competitive, and if we are unable to compete successfully, our revenue could decline and we may be unable to gain market share.
     The market for financial services software is relatively new and highly competitive. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, product offerings and evolving demands of the marketplace.
     Some of our competitors have:
    longer operating histories;
 
    larger installed customer bases;
 
    greater name recognition and longer relationships with clients; and
 
    significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources than US Dataworks.
     Our competitors may also be better positioned to address technological and market developments or may react more favorably to technological changes. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including:
    the breadth and quality of services;
 
    creative design and systems engineering expertise;
 
    pricing;
 
    technological innovation; and
 
    understanding clients’ strategies and needs.
     Competitors may develop or offer strategic services that provide significant technological, creative, performance, price or other advantages over the services we offer. If we fail to gain market share or lose existing market share, our financial condition, operating results and business could be adversely affected and the value of the investment in us could be reduced significantly. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully.
We may be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of our client’s sensitive information, and any unauthorized use or disclosure could result in substantial damages and harm our reputation.
     The services we provide for our clients may grant us access to confidential or proprietary client information. Any unauthorized disclosure or use could result in a claim against us for substantial damages and could harm our reputation. Our contractual provisions attempting to limit these damages may not be enforceable in all instances or may otherwise fail to adequately protect us from liability for damages.
If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our business may suffer, we may lose revenue or we may be required to spend significant time and resources to defend our intellectual property rights.
     We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual procedures to protect our intellectual property rights. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property,

Table of Contents

our business may suffer from the piracy of our technology and the associated loss in revenue. Any patents that we may hold may not sufficiently protect our intellectual property and may be challenged by third parties. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, may not prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property. These infringement claims or any future claims could cause us to spend significant time and money to defend our intellectual property rights, redesign our products or develop or license a substitute technology. We may be unsuccessful in acquiring or developing substitute technology and any required license may be unavailable on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In the event of litigation to determine the validity of any third party claims or claims by us against such third party, such litigation, whether or not determined in our favor, could result in significant expense and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, regardless of the outcome of such litigation. Furthermore, other parties may also independently develop similar or competing products that do not infringe upon our intellectual property rights.
We may be unable to consummate future potential acquisitions or investments or successfully integrate acquired businesses or investments or foreign operations with our business, which may disrupt our business, divert management’s attention and slow our ability to expand the range of our technologies and products.
     We intend to continue to expand the range of our technologies and products, and we may acquire or make investments in additional complementary businesses, technologies or products, if appropriate opportunities arise. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition or investment candidates at reasonable prices or on reasonable terms, or consummate future acquisitions or investments, each of which could slow our growth strategy. We have no prior history or experience in investing in or acquiring and integrating complementary businesses and therefore may have difficulties completing such transactions or realizing the benefits of such transactions, or they may have a negative effect on our business. Such investments or acquisitions could require us to devote a substantial amount of time and resources and could place a significant strain on our management and personnel. To finance any acquisitions, we may choose to issue shares of our common stock, which would dilute your interest in us. Any future acquisitions by us also could result in significant write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could harm our operating results.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
     (a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures . We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
     Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
     (b)  Changes in internal control over financial reporting . There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with management’s evaluation during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In accordance with the provisions of the said Agreement and the provisions of this Schedule, Licensor will provide Licensee with the Products (as described in the Statement of Work, attached to the Master Agreement for Consulting Services, dated June 3, 2005) in the number of copies and at the Installation Site(s) specified below. If any provision of the Agreement or a prior schedule contradicts any provision of this Schedule, the provisions of this Schedule shall apply with respect to the Products licensed pursuant to this Schedule.

Licensor shall provide planning/testing of E1, E2 and E3 as part of its regular maintenance servicing of the Products and without additional charge to Amexco; however, any planning/testing of BCP/DR performed by Licensor shall not be deemed to be part of its regular maintenance servicing of the Products and Licensor shall have the right to charge Amexco for such planning/testing at a rate to be mutually agreed upon by the parties. The aforementioned copies of the Products may be installed at any location (“Installation Site”) operated by Licensee, wholly owned subsidiary of Licensee and/or any Licensee outsourced partner, provided such outsourcer first executes a third party access agreement acceptable to Licensor.

Section 7.1 of the Agreement shall be amended hereinafter to add the following: “Amexco agrees to provide USD with reasonable remote access so as to permit USD to correct and repair the Products as contemplated in this Article 7.”
The first line of Section 9.3 of the Agreement shall be amended hereinafter to replace “USDA’s” with “USD’s”.

ARTICLE 1: Deposit of Escrow Materials: Recordkeeping
1.1 On or before delivery of each Product to Amex, or as otherwise mutually agreed, Depositor shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, for deposit under this Agreement, a fully commented and documented copy of the source code for such Product, a listing thereof and all relevant documentation, including, but not limited to, all explanation, flow charts, algorithms and subroutine descriptions, memory and overlay maps, and any other materials required by the terms of the Schedule to be deposited in escrow (collectively, “Escrow Materials”).

All materials deposited hereunder shall be considered “Escrow Materials” as the term is used herein and shall be deposited using the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
1.3 The Escrow Materials may be removed and/or exchanged only on written instructions signed by Depositor and Amex, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2: Location of Escrow Materials
2.1 The Escrow Materials shall be administered by Escrow Agent from the location specified on Exhibit B and shall not be moved to any other location without the express written consent of Amex. Escrow Agent shall notify Depositor in writing of any change in location.
2.2 Amex shall have the right, at any time upon at least ten (10) days’ written notice to Depositor and Escrow Agent, to select and designate a new escrow agent to replace the Escrow Agent hereunder. Upon such notice and upon payment of any outstanding fees due Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall completely, safely and securely transfer the Escrow Materials to the new escrow agent (which will then become the “Escrow Agent” hereunder) and confirm such transfer in writing to Amex and Depositor.
ARTICLE 3: Verification of Escrow Materials

least ninety (90) days prior to any increase in fees. For any services not listed on Escrow Agent’s standard fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit E, Escrow Agent will provide a quote prior to rendering the service, if requested.
3.2.1 Escrow Agent shall not be required to perform any services unless the payment for such services and any outstanding balances owed to Escrow Agent are paid in full. All other fees are due payable within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. If invoiced fees are not paid, Escrow Agent may terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that any non-payment of fees is remedied in accordance with the Material Breach provisions herein. If there is a discrepancy in fees owed to Escrow Agent, then the party responsible for payment and Escrow Agent shall agree to discuss this matter on a good faith basis.
3.3 In addition and upon Amex’s request, Escrow Agent shall be authorized to perform any additional verification services which are available from Escrow Agent from time to time specified on the attached Exhibit D. including, without limitation, services necessary to verify the completeness, accuracy and functionality of the Escrow Materials and to ensure that the Escrow Materials conform and correspond to the Product furnished to Amex under the License Agreement.
3.3.1 Upon request, Escrow Agent will furnish Amex with a current copy of the charges for additional verification services that are available from Escrow Agent hereunder. Amex shall be responsible for payment of any such charges directly to Escrow Agent and Depositor shall have no responsibility for same.
3.4 Escrow Agent shall report to Amex in writing the results of all verification services performed on Escrow Materials upon completion of same and shall send a copy to Depositor.
ARTICLE 4: Release and Return of Escrow Materials
4.1 Within ten (10) business days of the Escrow Agent receiving written notice from Licensee sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with a copy to Depositor, requesting the release of the Escrow Materials hereunder, Escrow Agent shall release and deliver a copy of the Escrow Materials to Licensee.
4.1.1 Release Conditions — The Agent shall release the Deposited Escrow Materials in the event any one of the following release conditions occur:
  a)   If Depositor has availed itself of, or been subjected to by any third party, a proceeding in bankruptcy in which Depositor is the named debtor, an assignment by Depositor, or any other proceeding involving insolvency or the protection of, or from creditors, and same has not been discharged or terminated without any prejudice to Licensee’s rights or interests under the License Agreement within thirty (30) days; or
         
    Confidential and proprietary information of the American Express Company   21

 


 

  b)   if Depositor has ceased its on-going business operations, or sale, licensing, maintenance or other support of the Product; or
 
  c)   if any other event or circumstance occurs which demonstrates with reasonable certainty the inability or unwillingness of Licensor to fulfill its obligations to Amex under the License Agreement, this Escrow Agreement, or any software maintenance agreement between the parties, including, without limitation, the correction of defects in the Product.
4.2 Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in reliance upon any Amex instructions, instrument, or signature reasonably believed to be genuine and shall assume that any Amex officer giving any written notice or instruction, which is consistent with this Agreement, has been duly authorized to do so on behalf of Amex. Similarly, Escrow Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to whether Amex or Depositor is in compliance with the provisions of the License Agreement relating to the release of Escrow Materials and shall have no liability to Depositor or Amex for relying on Amex’s notice.
4.3 If the Schedule between Amex and Depositor has expired, been terminated or cancelled and if Amex has not notified Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Materials hereunder as contemplated under Section 4.1 above, then Escrow Agent may return or destroy the Escrow Materials at the request of Depositor; provided, however, that Escrow Agent shall not return or destroy any such Escrow Materials unless Escrow Agent has received written certification from Amex that no event or condition has occurred which would permit Amex to obtain the release and delivery of such Escrow Materials under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Amex has not provided said written certification within thirty (30) days from Escrow Agent’s notice of termination, then at Escrow Agent’s option, Escrow Agent may return or destroy the Escrow Materials.
4.4 Each party shall designate an authorized individual as a contact for the purposes set forth hereunder and individuals shall be specified on the attached Exhibit C.
ARTICLE 5: Confidentiality of Escrow Materials
5.1 Escrow Agent acknowledges that Depositor considers the Escrow Materials to be confidential and trade secrets of Depositor, and Escrow Agent agrees that unless Escrow Agent has obtained Depositor’s written consent, Escrow Agent shall keep the Escrow Materials confidential and prevent their disclosure to any person, firm or enterprise other than to employees or representatives of Escrow Agent involved in the performance of Escrow Agent’s obligations under this Agreement, to employees and representatives of Depositor, and to Amex under the specific release provisions specified in this Agreement.
5.2 Escrow Agent may copy Escrow Materials to the extent necessary to preserve and safely store the Escrow Materials, to perform the verification services required and permitted under this Agreement, and to provide copies to Amex as and when permitted hereunder. On all such copies,

Escrow Agent shall reproduce any proprietary rights and/or confidentiality notices which were on the Escrow Materials at the time of their deposit with Escrow Agent.

Liability: Escrow Agent shall be responsible to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to act in a reasonable and prudent manner in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Provided Escrow Agent has acted in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence, Amex and Depositor each agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Escrow Agent from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, arbitration fees (if any), expenses costs, attorney’s fees, and other liabilities incurred by Escrow Agent relating in any way to this Agreement. Except for the indemnity, none of the parties hereunder shall be liable, to any other party, for any indirect, special or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
Termination. Upon the release, return, destruction or transfer of the Escrow Materials as permitted hereunder or upon termination due to a material breach, all further obligations and/or rights of Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however Escrow Agent is not the party in breach.
Material Breach: In the event of any material breach of this Agreement by one party, the other parties may (reserving cumulatively all other remedies and rights under this Agreement and in law and in equity) terminate this Agreement, by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice thereof, provided, however, that any such termination shall not be effective if the party in breach has cured the breach of which it has been notified prior to the expiration of said thirty (30) days.
Notices: Except as otherwise specifically provided, all notices shall be in writing and delivered personally or mailed to the addresses of the parties set forth at the beginning of this Agreement, to the attention of the undersigned at the address (es) set forth at the beginning of this Agreement or to such other address or addressee as any party may designate by written notice and in the case of Amex, to the Office of the General Counsel, American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., American Express Tower, World Financial Center, New York, New York 10285-4900. Notices shall be deemed given when delivered or when placed in the mail as specified herein.
Bankruptcy: Amex, Depositor and Escrow Agent acknowledge that this Escrow Agreement is an “agreement supplementary to” the License Agreement as provided in Section 365(n), Title 11 of the United States Code (“Bankruptcy Code”). If Depositor, as a debtor in possession, or a trustee in bankruptcy appointed pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, rejects the License Agreement or this Agreement, then subject to any other rights Amex may have, Amex may elect to retain its rights under the License Agreement and this Agreement as provided in the current Bankruptcy Code or any amendments and/or successor statutes. Unless earlier notified by Amex, Depositor and Escrow Agent, individually and collectively, agree that unless they have received notice from Amex that it does not wish to make such election or exercise any such rights, neither Escrow
         
    Confidential and proprietary information of the American Express Company   23

 


 

Agent nor Depositor shall interfere with the rights of Amex in the License Agreement and/or this Agreement.
Assignment: The parties may not assign this Agreement or any of their rights and obligations hereunder without the written consent of each of the other parties involved in this Agreement and any such attempted assignment shall be void; provided however, that Amex may require the transfer of Escrow Materials to a new escrow agent (as permitted hereunder) and/or may assign this Agreement and/or any of its rights and/or obligations hereunder upon written notice to Depositor and Escrow Agent, to its parent company, its subsidiaries or affiliated companies without the consent of Depositor or Escrow Agent.
Severability: In the event any provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired.
Governing Law: In all respects this Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles.
Modification/Amendments: No modification, amendment, supplement to or waiver of this Agreement or any of its provisions, whether by conduct or otherwise, shall be binding unless made in writing and duly signed by the parties. A failure or delay, by any party at any time, to enforce any of the provisions, or to exercise any option, or to require performance, shall in no way be construed to be a waiver or modification of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement on the dates indicated below.
