Item 8.01 OTHER EVENTS On September 3, 2004, USA Technologies, Inc. ("USA") entered into a Technology Licensing Agreement (the "Licensing Agreement") with Mars Electronics International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MEI").

USALive(R) is USA's network for services and credit card transaction capability. The MEI payment systems utilizing the licensed intellectual property of USA would be offered by MEI to its customers in connection with vending machines and other automated retailing and merchandising applications, as well as in the transportation, amusement, music, gaming and telecommunications industries. Each MEI customer who purchases an MEI payment system utilizing the licensed intellectual property would enter into an agreement with USA to connect the MEI payment system to USALive(R). For each MEI payment system that is connected to USALive(R), MEI would pay a one-time royalty to USA, and while each MEI customer is connected to USALive(R) USA would pay to MEI a fixed monthly amount. The Licensing Agreement provides for a term of 5 years.
