This Agreement is made on the 28th day of September 2007, by and between DAVID M. DEMEDIO (“DeMedio”), and USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (“USA”).

Background

On February 12, 2007, USA adopted a Long-Term Equity Incentive Program (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, DeMedio has earned 20,580 shares of Common Stock of USA (the “Plan Shares”) on account of the 2007 fiscal year. The Plan Shares have not yet been issued to DeMedio. As more fully set forth herein, the parties desire to make arrangements for the issuance of the Plan Shares to DeMedio and for the satisfaction of USA’s withholding obligations in respect of these shares.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1.           As of the date hereof, USA shall issue to DeMedio an aggregate of 20,580 shares which represent the Plan Shares earned by DeMedio for the 2007 fiscal year.

2.           USA shall instruct its transfer agent to issue the Plan Shares as of the date hereof. The certificates representing the Plan Shares shall be subject to stop transfer instructions and shall bear the following restrictive legends:
