1. Accounting
Policies
Reverse
Stock Split
On
February 7, 2006, our shareholders approved a 1-for-100 reverse stock split
of
our Common Stock. The effective date of the reverse stock split was February
17,
2006. On the effective date of the reverse stock split, (i) each 100 shares
of
outstanding Common Stock was reduced to one share of Common Stock; (ii) the
number of shares of Common Stock into which each outstanding warrant, or option
is exercisable was proportionately reduced on a 100-to-1 basis; (iii) the
exercise price of each outstanding warrant, or option was proportionately
increased on a 1-to-100 basis; (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock into
which each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible was reduced from
1
share to one-hundredth of a share, and each share is entitled to one-hundredth
of a vote rather than one vote per share as previously provided; (v) the
conversion rate of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred
Stock was increased from $10.00 to $1,000.00 per share of Common Stock; (vi)
and
the conversion price of each convertible senior note proportionately increased
on a 1-to-100 basis, and the number of shares into which each convertible senior
note would be convertible was decreased on a 100-to-1 basis. The number of
our
authorized shares of Common Stock remains unchanged at 640,000,000. All of
the
share numbers, share prices, exercise prices, and conversion prices have been
adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-100 reverse stock
split.
Interim
Financial Information
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of USA Technologies,
Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction
with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Operating results for
the
nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2006. The balance
sheet at June 30, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements
at
that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required
by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.
The
Company continues to incur operating losses. These factors raise doubt about
the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the
actions presently considered or being taken, as described in the liquidity
section of item 2, will allow the Company to continue as a going
concern.
For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2005.

1. Accounting
Policies (Continued)
Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stitch Networks Corporation ("Stitch").
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in
consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Reclassification
Certain
amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of finished goods and packaging materials. Through November 30, 2005,
inventory was stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market.
Due to the implementation of a new accounting system on December 1, 2005, the
Company's inventory is stated at the lower of cost (average cost basis) or
market. The Company determined that the change in accounting principle was
not
material and therefore have excluded the current and cumulative effect of the
change and pro forma disclosures.
Income
Taxes
No
provision for income taxes has been made in the nine months ended March 31,
2006
and 2005 given the Company’s losses in 2006 and 2005 and available net operating
loss carryforwards. A benefit has not been recorded as the realization of the
net operating losses is not assured and the timing in which the Company can
utilize its net operating loss carryforwards in any year or in total may be
limited by provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding changes in
ownership of corporations.
Loss
Per Common Share
Basic
earnings per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) applicable to common
shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) applicable to common
shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus
the
dilutive effect (unless such effect is anti-dilutive) of potential common
shares. No exercise of stock options, purchase rights, stock purchase warrants,
or the conversion of senior notes, debentures, preferred stock, or cumulative
preferred dividends was assumed during the periods presented because the assumed
exercise of these securities would be anti-dilutive.

Policies (Continued)
Accounting
For Stock Options
In
December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.
123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”), which establishes standards for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods
or
services. This standard requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee
services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of the award.
On
July
1, 2005, the Company adopted FAS123(R) using the Modified Prospective
Application method. For outstanding nonvested share-based awards as of July
1,
2005, compensation expense for the portion of the award for which the requisite
services have not been rendered will be recognized in the Statement of
Operations as the services are rendered. Compensation expense will be recognized
based on the grant-date fair value of the share-based award as previously
calculated under FAS 123 at the time of the grant, however, the Company is
required to adjust the compensation expense for expected forfeitures. Awards
granted subsequent to July 1, 2005 will be based on the guidance provided by
FAS
123(R).
Due
to
the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company has recognized $10,533 of compensation
expense related to a single grant of 3,000 common stock options during the
prior
fiscal year that were not fully vested as of the date of adoption. The remainder
of the outstanding common stock options were fully vested as of the date of
adoption. The effect of the adoption on the Company’s operating loss and net
loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 was $10,533. There was no impact
on cash flows or basic and diluted earnings per share.

3. Senior
Notes
As
of
March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance of Senior Notes was $9,540,077. This
is
comprised of notes with a face amount of $11,979,938 less unamortized debt
discount of $2,439,861.Debt discount and other issuance costs associated with
the Senior Notes are amortized to interest expense over the remaining life
of
the Senior Notes. Upon conversion of Senior Notes into Common Stock, unamortized
discount relating to the notes converted are charged to interest expense. Total
charges to interest for amortization of debt discount and other issuance costs
were $252,281 and $884,460 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2006,
respectively and $541,590 and $1,237,345 for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2005.During the nine months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, Senior
Notes totaling $284,135 and $468,452, respectively, were converted into 20,913
and 44,313 shares, respectively, of the Company's Common Stock.During October
and November 2005, the Company issued $544,944 of principal amount 10%
Convertible Senior Notes due December 31, 2008 (the “2008-C Senior Notes”) and
issued special purchase rights to these note holders to acquire up to 54,494
shares of Common Stock at $20 per share on or before December 31, 2008. Interest
on the 2008-C Senior Notes shall be paid on a quarterly basis in arrears at
the
rate of 10% per annum with the outstanding principal amount of the 2008-C Senior
Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be paid in full
no later than December 31, 2008. The 2008-C Senior Notes are convertible at
any
time into Common Stock at the rate of $10 per share. During January 2006, the
holder of each special purchase right agreed to exchange the purchase rights
for
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at $20 at anytime prior to December
31, 2008. The fair value of the purchase rights issued in conjunction with
the
2008-C Senior Notes created debt discount totaling $184,542, which is being
amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of these Senior Notes.
The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes model.
During
October and November 2005, the Company issued $770,000 of Notes (“Bridge Notes”)
due January 6, 2006 with interest payable on the due date at a rate of 10%
per
annum. On January 6, 2006, the Bridge Notes were automatically exchanged, in
accordance with the original terms of the Bridge Notes, for a like principal
amount of new Convertible Senior Notes due December 31, 2010 (“2010-B Senior
Notes”) and special purchase rights were issued to these note holders to acquire
up to 77,000 shares of Common Stock at $20 per share on or before December
31,
2008. Interest on the 2010-B Senior Notes is payable quarterly at 10% per annum
and is convertible into Common Shares at $10 per share. During January 2006,
the
holder of each special purchase right agreed to exchange the purchase rights
for
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at $20 at anytime prior to December
31, 2008. The fair value of the purchase rights issued in conjunction with
the
2010-B Senior Notes created additional debt discount totaling $244,399, which
is
being amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of these Senior
Notes. The fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes model.
On January 1, 2006, the Company repaid all of the Senior
Notes
that matured on December 31, 2005 for a total repayment of
$910,262.

the
Company to Mr. Illes of notice of his obligation to purchase. The Company can
require Mr. Illes to purchase shares only if the shares have been registered
by
the Company for resale under the Act. The agreement also states that no
additional shares shall be registered under the 2005 Common Stock Agreement.
During any calendar month, Mr. Illes cannot be required by the Company to
purchase Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price in excess of $800,000.
The
Company has the right in the future, if necessary, to register additional shares
under the 2006 Common Stock Agreement in order to ensure that a sufficient
number of shares are available for purchase by Mr. Illes. The 2006 Common Stock
Agreement terminates June 30, 2009. The Company filed a registration statement
related to the 2006 Common Stock Agreement that included 1,500,000 shares of
Common Stock and was effective April 7, 2006. As of March 31, 2006, no shares
were issued under the 2006 Common Stock Agreement.

There
were no stock options granted or excercised during the nine months ended
March
31, 2006 and 2005. The pro-forma disclosures required by FAS 123 have not
been
included as the pro-forma compensation expense related to the vesting of
options

material.
During
the year ended June 30, 2005, stock options were granted to one individual
to
purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $20 per share. The
fair

6. Commitments
and Contingencies
Various
legal actions and claims occurring in the normal course of business are pending
or may be instituted or asserted in the future against the Company. The Company
does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
As
previously reported, a Complaint was filed against the Company by Swartz
Private
Equity, LLC (“Swartz”) alleging that the Company breached various agreements
entered into with Swartz in August and September 2000 in connection with
the
so-called equity line of credit provided by Swartz to the Company. The Complaint
requests money damages of $4,350,381 representing the alleged value of the
warrants currently held by or claimed to be due to Swartz, money damages
of
$196,953 representing a termination fee allegedly due in connection with
the
termination of the agreements, and unspecified money damages relating to
the
alleged breach of the rights of first refusal.
The
Company’s response to the Complaint denied any liability to Swartz and asserted
various counterclaims against Swartz that seek money damages and other
affirmative relief against Swartz. The Company’s response, among other things,
states that the entire transaction is void and unenforceable because Swartz
had
failed to register as a broker-dealer under applicable Federal and state
securities laws as required in order for Swartz to be engaged in the business
of
providing equity line products. In September 2005, the Company served various
discovery requests upon Swartz that have been partially responded to by Swartz
as of the date hereof. During April 2006, the deadline for the completion
of
discovery was extended from June 1, 2006 until December 1, 2006.
The
Company intends to vigorously defend this action and to prosecute its
counterclaims. In particular, the Company believes it has a substantial defense
to the Complaint because Swartz was not registered as a broker-dealer, and
intends to vigorously pursue this defense. At the present time, the Company
is
unable to estimate the possible range of damages that the Company might incur
should this action be resolved against the Company.
During
2005, the Company had committed to purchase approximately $529,000 of inventory
from a third party manufacturer through December 31, 2005. The Company had
purchased $482,000 of this inventory through December 31, 2005 and purchased
the
remainder during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 upon completion of
manufacturing and delivery.
7. Subsequent
Events

April 1 through May 9, 2006, the Company issued an additional 238,647 shares
of
Common Stock under the 2005 Common Stock Agreement for total gross proceeds

under the 2006 Common Stock Agreement for total gross proceeds of

Forward
Looking Statements
This
Form
10-Q contains certain forward looking statements regarding, among other things,
the anticipated financial and operating results of the Company. For this
purpose, forward looking statements are any statements contained herein that
are
not statements of historical fact and include, but are not limited to, those
preceded by or that include the words, “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” or
similar expressions. Those statements are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward looking
information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous
assumptions. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to
differ materially from those projected, include, for example (i) the ability
of
the Company to generate sufficient sales to generate operating profits, or
to
sell products at a profit, (ii) the ability of the Company to raise funds in
the
future through sales of securities, (iii) whether the Company is able to enter
into binding agreements with third parties to assist in product or network
development, (iv) the ability of the Company to commercialize its developmental
products, or if actually commercialized, to obtain commercial acceptance
thereof, (v) the ability of the Company to compete with its competitors to
obtain market share, (vi) the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient funds
through operations or otherwise to repay its debt obligations, including but
not
limited to Senior Notes, or to fund development and marketing of its products,
(vii) the ability of the Company to obtain approval of its pending patent
applications or the risk that its technologies would infringe patents owned
by
others, (viii) the ability of the Company to satisfy its trade obligations
included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and (ix) the ability
of
the Company to predict or estimate its future quarterly or annual revenues
given
the developing and unpredictable market for its products and the lack of
established revenues. Although the Company believes that the forward looking
statements contained herein are reasonable, it can give no assurance that the
Company’s expectations will be met.

Results
of Operations
Three
months ended March 31, 2006
Revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $1,618,776
compared
to $1,122,330 for the corresponding three-month period in the previous fiscal
year. This $496,446 or 44% increase was primarily due to an increase in
equipment sales of approximately $484,000 and license and transaction fees
of
approximately $12,000. The increase in equipment sales was due to an increase
in
sales of approximately $469,000 of energy conservation equipment and
approximately $32,000 in e-Port vending equipment sales, which was offset by
a
decrease in sales of approximately $17,000 in business center and other
equipment sales.
Cost
of
sales for the period consisted of equipment costs of approximately $719,000
and
network and transaction related costs of approximately $212,000. The increase
in
cost of sales of $375,417 or 68% over the prior year period was due to an
increase in equipment costs of approximately $321,000 and an increase of
approximately $54,000 of network and transaction related costs.
Gross
profit for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $687,748, compared to
gross
profit of $566,720 for the corresponding three-month period in the previous
fiscal year. This 21% increase is due to the change in our product mix,
specifically, 68% of equipment sales in the current three-month period were
from
higher margin energy equipment sales as compared to 50% in the corresponding
three-month period in the previous fiscal year.
General
and administrative expense of $1,421,333 decreased by $126,533 or 8% primarily
due to a reduction in consulting fees of approximately $93,000 and a reduction
in public relations fees of approximately $41,000.
Non-cash
interest expense and amortization of debt discount decreased by $289,309 or
53%
due to a decrease in non-cash charges for accelerated interest on the
unamortized debt discount and other issuance costs on the Senior Notes that
were
converted into Common Stock during the corresponding three months of the prior
fiscal year. Conversions of Senior Notes totaled $421,160 during the three-month
period ended March 31, 2005 whereas only $25,000 of Senior Notes were converted
during the corresponding period of the current fiscal year.
Compensation
expense of $1,566,573 increased by $97,240 or 7% primarily due to an increase
in
salaries and benefits expense of approximately $183,000 due to an increase
in
the number of employees, offset by a decrease in bonus expense of approximately
$85,000.
The
quarter ended March 31, 2006 resulted in a net loss of $3,313,868 (approximately
$0.7 million of non-cash charges) compared to a net loss of $3,702,049
(approximately $1.0 million of non-cash charges) for the quarter ended March
31,
2005.
Nine
months ended March 31, 2006
Revenues
for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 were $4,940,414 compared to $3,290,356
for the corresponding nine-month period in the previous fiscal year. This
$1,650,057 or 50% increase was primarily due to an increase in equipment sales
of approximately $1,575,000 and license and transaction fees of approximately
$75,000. The increase in equipment sales was due to an increase in sales of
approximately $876,000 of energy conservation equipment, approximately $544,000
in e-Port vending equipment sales, and approximately $175,000 in laundry
equipment, offset by a decrease of approximately $19,000 in business center
and
other equipment sales.
Cost
of
sales for the period consisted of equipment costs of approximately $2,491,000
and network and transaction related costs of $659,000. The increase in cost
of
sales of $899,458 or 40% over the prior year period was due to an increase
in
equipment costs of approximately $1,059,000, offset by a decrease of
approximately $159,000 of network and transaction related costs. The increase
in
equipment costs directly relates to the increase in equipment sales. The
decrease in network and transaction related costs is due to a decrease from
the
prior year period related to the one-time cost of switching our e-Port vending
customers to the Cingular wireless network and the processing of customer credit
card transactions in the prior period.
Gross
profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 was $1,790,558, compared to
gross profit of $1,039,958 for the corresponding nine-month period in the
previous fiscal year. This 72% increase is due to the 50% increase in revenues
with only a 40% increase in equipment and transaction costs as described
above.
General
and administrative expense of $3,661,107 decreased by $1,286,863 or 27%
primarily due to a reduction in consulting fees of approximately $1,022,000
and
a reduction in public relations fees of approximately $230,000.
Compensation
expense of $4,359,936 increased by $231,524 or 6% primarily due to an increase
in salaries and benefits expense of approximately $388,000 due to an increase
in
the number of employees, offset by a decrease in bonus expense of approximately
$97,000 and a decrease of $60,000 in commissions. The decrease in commissions
is
due to changes made to the commission program in the current fiscal
year.
Non-cash
interest expense and amortization of debt discount decreased by $352,885 or
29%
due to a decrease in non-cash charges for accelerated interest on the
unamortized debt discount and other issuance costs on the Senior Notes that
were
converted into Common Stock during the corresponding nine months of the prior
fiscal year. Conversions of Senior Notes totaled $468,452 during the nine-month
period ended March 31, 2005 whereas only $284,135 of Senior Notes were converted
during the corresponding period of the current fiscal year.
The
nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 resulted in a net loss of $9,374,830
(approximately $2.2 million of non-cash charges) compared to a net loss of
$11,147,691 (approximately $2.5 million of non-cash charges) for the nine-month
period ended March 31, 2005.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
For
the
nine months ended March 31, 2006, net cash of $7,955,562 was used by operating
activities, primarily due to the net loss of $9,374,830 offset by non-cash
charges totaling $2,177,049 for transactions involving the issuance of Common
Stock for services, stock option compensation charges, depreciation and
amortization of assets, and amortization of debt discount. In addition to these
non-cash charges, the Company’s net operating assets increased by $757,131
primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accounts
payable.
Proceeds
from financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 provided
$7,970,846 of funds, which were necessary to support cash used in operating
and
investing activities. These proceeds were realized from the issuance of Common
Stock and exercise of Common Stock Warrants ($7,683,607), the issuance of Senior
Notes ($1,314,944), the collection of Common Stock subscriptions receivable
($35,723), offset by cash used to repay long-term debt and Senior Notes
($1,063,428).
The
Company has incurred losses since inception. Cumulative losses through March
31,
2006 amounted to approximately $122,000,000. The Company has continued to raise
capital through equity and debt offerings to fund operations.
During
the year ended June 30, 2005, cash used in operating activities was
approximately $992,000 per month. During the first half of fiscal year 2006,
the
Company continued to make efforts to improve its working capital management.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2006, cash used in operating activities was
approximately $883,000 per month. Using the actual cash requirements for the
first nine months of the fiscal year and the last three months to estimate
the
remaining three months of the fiscal year as a basis for estimating cash
requirements for the entire year ending June 30, 2006 (which assumes a static
level of revenues), cash requirements for fiscal year 2006, including
requirements for capital expenditures and repayments of long-term debt, would
be
approximately $12,400,000.
As
of
March 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $1,463,000 of cash and cash
equivalents on hand.
On
April
4, 2005, the Company and Mr. Illes entered into the 2005 Common Stock Agreement,
as more fully described in Note 4 to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements. From April 1 through May 5, 2006, the Company issued
the
remaining 238,647 shares of Common Stock under the 2005 Common Stock Agreement
for total gross proceeds of $1,452,476.
On
February 17, 2006, the Company entered into the 2006 Common Stock Agreement
with
Mr. Illes, as more fully described in Note 4 to the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements. As previously stated, the Company has
registered for resale by Mr. Illes an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares. These
shares would provide $10,500,000 of funds based on a purchase price of $7 per
share. Through May 12, 2006, the Company issued 612,601 shares of Common Stock
under the 2006 Common Stock Agreement for total gross proceeds of
$3,832,524.
Funding
sources in place to meet the Company's cash requirements for the year ending
June 30, 2006 are primarily comprised of approximately $1,463,000 in cash and
cash equivalents on hand as of March 31, 2006 and the proceeds received from
the
2005 and 2006 Common Stock Purchase Agreement ($5,285,000). The Company believes
these sources should provide sufficient funds through June 30, 2006.
Additionally,
the Company has approximately $6,212,000 of available funds under the 2006
Common Stock Agreement based on a purchase price of $7 per share. The Company
believes the funds available under this Agreement should provide sufficient
funds through March 31, 2007.
Guidance
On
October 3, 2005, the Company announced that according to its forecasts, it
expected to reach its goal of attaining an operating profit (before interest
expense and other non-operating income and expenses) and positive cash flow
from
operations during one or more of the calendar months in the quarter ending
June
30, 2006. The Company is currently in negotiations with several Fortune 500
companies for the purchase of our products. The Company anticipated these
contracts would be finalized and result in fourth quarter revenues. Although
the
Company is optimistic that these negotiations will result in contracts and
material future revenues, the Company does not anticipate it will be able to
achieve this forecast during the quarter ending June 30, 2006.

AMENDED
AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT
AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
Agreement
made this 11th
day of
May, 2006, by and between GEORGE R. JENSEN, JR., an individual ("Jensen"),
and
USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation ("USA").
BACKGROUND
Jensen
is
the founder as well as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of USA. Jensen
and USA had entered into an Employment And Non-Competition Agreement dated
November 20, 1997, a First Amendment thereto dated as of June 17, 1999, a Second
Amendment thereto dated February 22, 2000, a Third Amendment thereto dated
January 16, 2002, a Fourth Amendment thereto dated April 15, 2002, a Fifth
Amendment thereto dated July 16, 2003, and a Sixth Amendment thereto dated
February 4, 2004. As more fully set forth herein, the parties desire to amend,
completely restate, and replace the foregoing agreements.
AGREEMENT
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants set forth herein, and intending
to
be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION
1. Employment.
(a) USA
shall
employ Jensen as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commencing on the date
hereof and continuing through June 30, 2009 (the "Employment Period"), and
Jensen hereby accepts such employment. Unless terminated by either party hereto
upon at least 60-days notice prior to end of the original Employment Period
ending June 30, 2009, or prior to the end of any one year extension of the
Employment Period, the Employment Period shall not be terminated and shall
automatically continue in full force and effect for consecutive one year
periods.
(b) During
the Employment Period, Jensen shall devote his full time, energy, skills, and
attention to the business of USA, and shall not be engaged or employed in any
other business activity whatsoever, whether or not such activity is pursued
for
gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage. During the Employment Period, Jensen
shall perform and discharge well and faithfully such executive management duties
for USA as shall be necessary and as otherwise may be directed by the Board
of
Directors of USA.
(c)
Nothing
contained in subparagraph 1(b) hereof shall prohibit Jensen from investing
his
personal assets in businesses which do not compete with USA, where the form
or
manner of such investments will not require more than minimal services on the
part of Jensen in the operation of the affairs of the business in which such
investments are made, or in which his participation is solely that of a passive
investor; or from serving as a member of boards of directors, boards of
trustees, or other governing bodies of any organization, provided that USA
approves such activities in advance; or from participating in trade
associations, charitable, civic and any similar activities of a not-for-profit,
philanthropic or eleemosynary nature; or from attending educational events
or
classes. It is understood and agreed that any such permitted activities which
shall occur during business hours shall be limited to no greater than forty
hours per year.
SECTION
2. Compensation
and Benefits
(a) In
consideration of his services rendered, commencing on the date hereof, USA
shall
pay to Jensen a base salary of $325,000 per year during the Employment Period,
subject to any withholding required by law. Jensen's base salary may be
increased from time to time in the discretion of the Board of
Directors.
For
each
of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2009,
Jensen shall have the option to elect to have fifty percent (50%) of his base
salary paid in Common Stock of USA (“Common Stock”) rather than cash. Any such
election must be made not later than 60-days following the commencement of
each
such fiscal year by appropriate notice by Jensen to USA. For the purposes of
determining the number of shares to be issued to Jensen, the shares shall be
valued at the average closing bid price for the Common Stock during the 30
trading days immediately preceding
the date of any such election by Jensen. If any such election is made, the
shares issuable to Jensen for the fiscal year would vest ratably on a quarterly
basis. Jensen acknowledges that the issuance of the shares to him represents
taxable income to him and that he (and not USA) shall be responsible for the
payment of any and all income taxes attributable to the issuance of the shares
to him. Jensen shall make appropriate cash payments to USA to pay for any
withholding tax liability of USA in connection with the shares. Jensen
acknowledges that the Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or under any state securities law, and the
Common Stock can not be sold or transferred unless such Common Stock has been
registered under the Act or such state securities laws, or unless USA has
received an opinion of its counsel that such registration is not
required.
Jensen
understands that USA has not agreed to register the Common Stock under the
Act
or any state securities laws. In
addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain such
legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall be
required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be
reasonably required by USA or its transfer agent.
(b) In
addition to the base salary provided for in subparagraph (a), Jensen shall
be
eligible to receive such bonus or bonuses as the Board of Directors of USA
may,
in their discretion, pay to Jensen from time to time based upon his performance
and/or the performance of USA. All awards in this regard may be made in cash
or
in Common Stock.
(c) Jensen
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by USA for all reasonable expenses reasonably
incurred by Jensen in connection with his employment duties hereunder. Such
expenses shall include, but not be limited to, all reasonable business travel
expenses such as tolls, gasoline and mileage. Jensen shall reasonably document
all requests for expense reimbursements.
(d) As
a
further incentive to Jensen, USA believes it is in the best interest of USA
to
issue to Jensen shares of Common Stock in the event there is a USA Transaction
(as defined below), all as more fully described in Section 3 hereof.
(e) At
the
time of the signing of this Agreement by each of USA and Jensen, USA shall
issue
to Jensen options to acquire up to 75,000 shares of USA Common Stock for an
exercise price of $7.50 per share (which is equal to the average
closing bid price for the Common Stock during the 30 trading days immediately
preceding the execution and delivery by USA and Jensen of this
Agreement).
The
options shall vest as
follows: 25,000 on the date hereof; 25,000 on June 30, 2007; and 25,000 on
June
30, 2008.
The
options shall be exercisable at any time within five years of vesting. All
of
the terms and conditions of the options are set forth in the Option Certificate
attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
Jensen
acknowledges that such options are not incentive stock options as such term
is
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
part
of an employee stock purchase plan as defined in Section 423 thereunder. As
a
result, among other things, taxable income will be realized by Jensen at the
time of the exercise of any such options.
Jensen
also acknowledges that neither the options nor the Common Stock underlying
the
options have been registered under the Act, or under any state securities laws,
and neither the options nor the Common Stock underlying the options can be
sold
or transferred unless such options or Common Stock have been registered under
the Act or such state securities laws, or unless USA has received an opinion
of
counsel that such registration is not required. Jensen understands that USA
has
not agreed to register the options or the underlying Common Stock under the
Act
or any state securities laws.
(f)
On the date of the execution and delivery by each of USA and Jensen of this
Agreement, USA shall issue to Jensen 75,000 nonvested shares of Common Stock
as a bonus. These shares shall vest as follows: 25,000 on June 1, 2006; 25,000
on January 1, 2007; and 25,000 on June 1, 2007. Jensen acknowledges that the
Common Stock has not been registered under the Act or under any state securities
law, and the Common Stock can not be sold or transferred unless such Common
Stock has been registered under the Act or such state securities laws, or unless
USA has received an opinion of its counsel that such registration is not required.
Jensen acknowledges that the issuance of the shares to him represents taxable
income to him and that he (and not USA) shall be responsible for the payment
of any and all income taxes attributable to the issuance of the shares to him.
Jensen shall make appropriate cash payments to USA to pay for any withholding
tax liability of USA in connection with the shares. In addition, the certificates
representing the Common Stock shall contain such legends, or restrictive legends,
or stop transfer instructions, as shall be required by applicable Federal or
state securities laws, or as shall be reasonably required by USA or its transfer
agent.
SECTION
3. Common
Stock Rights.
A.
If at
any time after the date hereof there shall be a USA Transaction, USA shall
issue
to Jensen an aggregate of 140,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Jensen Stock")
subject to adjustment as provided in subparagraph B of this Section 3. At the
time of any USA Transaction, all of the shares of Jensen Stock shall
automatically and without any action on Jensen's
part be
deemed to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to any such USA
Transaction, and shall be entitled to be treated as any other issued and
outstanding share of Common Stock in connection with such USA Transaction.
In
connection with a USA Transaction, USA and/or such successor or purchasing
corporation, person, or entity, as the case may be, shall recognize and
specifically provide for the Jensen Stock as provided for in this Section 3.
B. The
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Jensen upon the occurrence
of a
USA Transaction shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only as set
forth hereinafter: (i) in case USA shall declare a Common Stock dividend on
the
Common Stock, then the number of shares shall be proportionately increased
as of
the close of business on the date of record of said Common Stock dividend in
proportion to such increase of outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (ii)
if
USA shall at any time subdivide its outstanding Common Stock by
recapitalization, reclassification or split-up thereof, the number of shares
shall be proportionately increased, and, if USA shall at any time combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock by recapitalization, reclassification,
reverse stock split, or combination thereof, the number of shares shall be
proportionately decreased. Any such adjustment to the number of shares shall
become effective at the close of business on the record date for such
subdivision or combination. All shares of Common Stock issued to Jensen shall
be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Common Stock, validly
issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.
C.
For
purposes hereof, the term "USA Transaction" shall mean:
(i)
the
acquisition by any person, entity or group required to file (or which would
be
required to file if USA had been subject to such provisions) a Schedule 13D
or
Schedule 14d-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange
Act") or any acquisition by any person entitled to file (or which would be
entitled to file if USA had been subject to such provisions) a Form 13G under
the Exchange Act with respect to such acquisition of beneficial ownership
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 51%
or
more of USA's
then
outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of
Directors (the "Outstanding Shares"); or
(ii)
approval by the shareholders of USA of a reorganization, merger , consolidation,
liquidation , or dissolution of USA, or the sale, transfer, lease or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of USA ( "Business
Combination").
(iii)
Notwithstanding subsection (ii) above, and other than in connection with a
liquidation or dissolution of USA, a Business Combination described in
subsection (ii) above shall not constitute a USA Transaction if following such
Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Shares immediately
prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly
,
more than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors of the entity
resulting from such business combination (including without limitation, an
entity which as a result of such transactions owns USA or all or substantially
all of USA's
assets
either directly or through one or more subsidiaries), and (B) no person owns,
directly or indirectly, 49% or more of the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such Business
Combination except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the
Business Combination.
D.
USA
shall at its sole cost and expense, take such action as shall be required to
have the Jensen Stock registered or exempted from registration under applicable
Federal and state securities laws. As a condition to the issuance by USA of
any
Jensen Stock, Jensen shall execute and deliver such representations, warranties,
and covenants, that may be required by applicable Federal and state securities
law, or that USA determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the
issuance of such Jensen Stock. In addition, the certificates representing the
Jensen Stock shall contain such legends, or restrictive legends, or stop
transfer instructions, as shall be required by applicable Federal or state
securities laws, or as shall be reasonably required by USA or its transfer
agent.
E.
The
Jensen Stock granted hereunder to Jensen shall be irrevocable by USA and are
unconditional, absolute and fully vested obligations of USA. The Jensen Stock
shall not be subject to any right of set off, recoupment or any other equitable
defenses by USA and shall be issued to Jensen in strict accordance with their
terms. The terms and conditions of this Section 3 shall not be affected by
the
termination of Jensen's
employment with USA for any reason whatsoever, and whether or not any "cause"
exists therefore, and shall not be affected by Jensen's
breach
of this Agreement or any other agreement with USA.
F.
The
right to receive the Jensen Stock shall be transferable by Jensen, or by any
subsequent assignee, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time,
by
notice to USA. As a condition precedent of such transfer, the assignee shall
execute and deliver such representations, warranties, and covenants that may
be
required by applicable Federal and state securities laws. In addition, USA
may
require that the transferor deliver to USA an opinion of counsel, acceptable
to
USA, to the effect that such transfer is permitted under and does not violate
any applicable state or Federal securities laws. The right to receive the Jensen
Stock shall be transferable under and pursuant to the last will and testament
of
Jensen in accordance with this subparagraph F, and the death of Jensen shall
not
affect the right to receive the Jensen Stock, and in such event the right to
receive the Jensen Stock shall continue in full force and effect in accordance
with this Section 3.
G.
There
has
been reserved, and the Company shall at all times keep reserved out of the
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common
Stock sufficient to provide for the Jensen Stock. The Company agrees that the
Jensen Stock shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such
Jensen Stock, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable.
SECTION
4. Termination.
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, USA may terminate the employment
of Jensen at any time upon notice delivered to Jensen in the event that (i)
Jensen commits any criminal or fraudulent act; or (ii) Jensen breaches any
term
or condition of this Agreement; or (iii) Jensen willfully abandons his duties
hereunder. Upon such termination neither party hereto shall have any further
duties or obligations hereunder whatsoever; provided, however, that all of
the
terms and conditions of Section 3 hereof as well as Jensen's obligations under
Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive any such termination.
SECTION
5. Death
and Disability.
(a) If
Jensen
shall die during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate as of
the
date of such death and except for all of the terms and conditions of Section
3
hereof as well as any base salary owed to or bonuses accrued to Jensen as of
such date, USA shall have no further duties or obligations hereunder
whatsoever.
(b) If
USA
determines in good faith that Jensen is incapacitated by accident, sickness
or
otherwise so as to render him mentally or physically incapable of performing
the
services required of him hereunder for an aggregate of ninety (90) consecutive
days, upon the expiration of such period or at any time thereafter, by action
of
USA, Jensen's employment hereunder may be terminated immediately, upon giving
him at least 30 days written notice to that effect, and upon such termination
except for any base salary or bonuses accrued as of such date neither party
hereto shall have any further duties or obligations hereunder; provided,
however, that all of the terms and conditions of Section 3 hereof as well as
Jensen's obligations under Sections 6 and 7 hereof shall survive any such
termination. USA shall be entitled to rely upon the advice and opinion of any
physician of its choosing in making any determination with respect to any such
disability. In
the
case of such termination, USA agrees to maintain existing health care and
disability benefits on behalf of Jensen for a minimum of one year following
the

SECTION

in
connection with his duties hereunder, Jensen shall not, directly or indirectly,

following the termination of Jensen's employment hereunder if earlier, make
any
use of, exploit, disclose, or divulge to any other person, firm or corporation,
any trade or business secret, customer or supplier information, documents,
know-how, data, marketing information, method or means, or any other

sell
to, any customer or account of USA of which Jensen is or becomes aware, or
with
which Jensen has had personal contact as a result of, in connection with,
through his employment with, or through his affiliation with USA, whether or
not
pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, following the
termination of Jensen's
employment with USA, Jensen shall be permitted to sell products to customers
or
accounts of USA, provided such products are not competitive with, or similar
to,
any products of USA, whether such products are offered now or at any time in
the
future by USA.
(c) All
documents, data, know-how, designs, inventions, names, marketing information,
method or means, materials, software programs, hardware, configurations,
information, data processing reports, lists and sales analyses, price lists
or
information, or any other materials or data of any kind furnished to Jensen
by
USA, or developed by Jensen on behalf of USA or at USA's direction or for USA's
use, or otherwise devised, developed, created, or invented in connection with
Jensen's employment hereunder or his affiliation with USA, are and shall remain
the sole and exclusive property of USA, and Jensen shall have no right or
interest whatsoever thereto, including but not limited to, any copyright or
patent interest whatsoever. If USA requests the return of any such items
(including all copies) at any time whatsoever, Jensen shall immediately deliver
the same to USA.
(d)
All
documents, data, know-how, designs, products, ideas, equipment, inventions,
names, devices, marketing information, method or means, materials, software
programs, hardware, configurations, information, or any other materials or
data
of any kind developed by Jensen on behalf of USA or at its direction or for
USA's use, or otherwise devised, developed, created, or invented in connection
with Jensen’s employment with USA or Jensen’s affiliation with USA, and whether
before or after the date of this Agreement, are and shall remain the sole and
exclusive property of USA, and Jensen has and shall have no right or interest
whatsoever thereto. Jensen hereby agrees to and affirms the work-for-hire
doctrine and acknowledges that all such rights to intellectual property shall
belong exclusively to USA and not to Jensen. Any and all rights of ownership
in
connection with any of the foregoing shall belong solely to USA, and all
copyright, patent, trademark, or similar rights or interests shall be the sole
and exclusive property of USA. Jensen hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys
to
USA all of Jensen’s right, title and interest in and to any and all such
inventions, discoveries, improvements, modifications and other intellectual
property rights and agrees to take all such actions as may be required by USA
at
any time and with respect to any such invention, discovery, improvement,
modification or other intellectual property rights to confirm or evidence such
assignment, transfer and conveyance. At USA's direction and request, Jensen
shall execute and deliver any and all forms, documents, or applications required
under any applicable copyright, patent, trademark, or other law, rule or
regulation.
SECTION
7. Restrictive
Covenant.
From and
after the date hereof, and for a one (1) year period following the termination
of the Employment Period, or for a one (1) year period following the termination
of Jensen's employment hereunder if earlier, Jensen shall be prohibited from
competing in the United States with the business of USA as presently or as
hereinafter conducted, including but not limited to the ownership and licensing
of unattended, credit card activated control systems in the vending, copying,
debit card, or personal computer industries. For the purposes hereof, the term
"competing" shall mean acting, directly or indirectly, as a partner, principal,
stockholder, joint venturer, associate, independent contractor, creditor of,
consultant, trustee, lessor to, sublessor to, employee or agent of, or to have
any other involvement with, any person, firm, corporation, or other business
organization which is engaged in the businesses described in this
Section.
SECTION
8. Remedies.
Jensen
acknowledges that any breach by him of the obligations set forth in Sections
6
or 7 hereof would substantially and materially impair and irreparably harm
USA's
business and goodwill; that such impairment and harm would be difficult to
measure; and, therefore, total compensation in solely monetary terms would
be
inadequate. Consequently, Jensen agrees that in the event of any breach or
any
threatened breach by Jensen of any of the provisions of Section 6 or 7 hereof,
USA shall be entitled in addition to monetary damages or other remedies, to
equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and to the payment by Jensen
of
all costs and expenses incurred by USA in enforcing the provisions thereof,
including attorneys' fees. The remedies granted to USA in this Agreement are
cumulative and are in addition to remedies otherwise available to USA at law
or
in equity.
SECTION
9. Waiver
of Breach.
The
waiver by USA of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Jensen shall
not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by Jensen
of such or any other provision.
SECTION
10. Notices.
All
notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent
by
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, as

next succeeding the date of mailing.

11. Severability.
If any
term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person
or
circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Agreement or the application of any such term or provision to persons
or
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable,
shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement
shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any
of
the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to
be
excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, it shall be
construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be valid and enforceable to
the
extent compatible with the applicable law.
SECTION
12. Governing
Law.
The
implementation and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without
regard to its conflict of laws rules.
SECTION

by Jensen; provided, however, that the Rights described in Section 3 hereof
may
be assigned in whole or in part, and from time to time, by Jensen or his
assignees all as permitted in Section 3. F. hereof.
SECTION
14. Entire
Agreement.

Agreement constitutes the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter
hereof between the parties hereto and there are no other agreements between
the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement completely
replaces and supersedes the prior employment agreements entered into between
Jensen and USA. This Agreement may only be modified by an agreement in writing

AMENDED
AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT
AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
Agreement
made this 11th
day of
May, 2006, by and between STEPHEN P. HERBERT, an individual ("Herbert"),
and USA
TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation ("USA").
BACKGROUND
Herbert
is the President and Chief Operating Officer of USA. Herbert and USA have
entered into an Employment And Non-Competition Agreement dated April 4, 1996,
a
first amendment thereto dated as of February 22, 2000, a second amendment
thereto dated as of April 15, 2002, a third amendment thereto dated as of
July
25, 2003, a fourth amendment thereto dated February 4, 2004,and a fifth
amendment thereto dated February 28, 2005. As more fully set forth herein,
the
parties desire to amend, completely restate, and replace the foregoing
agreements.
AGREEMENT
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants set forth herein, and intending
to
be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION
1. Employment.
(a) USA
shall
employ Herbert as President and Chief Operating Officer, for a period commencing
on the date hereof and continuing through June 30, 2009 (the "Employment
Period"), and Herbert hereby accepts such employment. Unless terminated by
either party hereto upon at least 60-days notice prior to the end of the
original Employment Period ending June 30, 2009, or prior to the end of any
one-year extension of the Employment Period, the Employment Period shall
not be
terminated and shall automatically continue in full force and effect for
consecutive one year periods.
(b) During
the Employment Period, Herbert shall devote his full time, energy, skills,
and
attention to the business of USA, and shall not be engaged or employed in
any
other business activity whatsoever, whether or not such activity is pursued
for
gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage. During the Employment Period,
Herbert
shall perform and discharge well and faithfully such executive management
duties
for USA as shall be necessary and as otherwise may be directed by the Chairman
or Board of Directors of USA.
Nothing
contained in the prior paragraph shall prohibit Herbert from investing his
personal assets in businesses which do not compete with USA, where the form
or
manner of such investments will not require more than minimal services on
the
part of Herbert in the operation of the affairs of the business in which
such
investments are made, or in which his participation is solely that of a passive
investor; or from serving as a member of boards of directors, boards of
trustees, or other governing bodies of any organization, provided that USA
approves such activities in advance; or from participating in trade
associations, charitable, civic and any similar activities of a not-for-profit,
philanthropic or eleemosynary nature; or from attending educational events
or
classes. It is understood and agreed that any such permitted activities which
shall occur during business hours shall be limited to no greater than forty
hours per year.
(c) If
during
the Employment Period, Herbert shall be required to take a role which is
substantively different than that contemplated by this Agreement, or if during
the Employment Period a USA Transaction (as such term is defined in the
Employment Agreement of George R. Jensen, Jr.) shall occur, then Herbert
may
upon thirty days prior notice to USA, terminate the Employment Period. Upon
such
termination by Herbert, neither party shall have any further duties or
obligations hereunder, provided, however, that Herbert’ obligations under
Sections 5 and 6 hereof shall survive any such termination.
SECTION
2. Compensation
and Benefits
(a) In
consideration of his services rendered, commencing on the date hereof, USA
shall
pay to Herbert a base salary of $285,000 per year during the Employment Period,
subject to any withholding required by law. Herbert’ base salary may be
increased from time to time in the discretion of the Board of
Directors.
For
each
of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2009,
Herbert shall have the option to elect to have fifty percent (50%) of his
base
salary paid in Common Stock of USA (“Common Stock”) rather than cash. Any such
election must be made not later than 60-days following the commencement of
each
such fiscal year by appropriate notice by Herbert to USA. For purposes of
determining the number of shares to be issued to Herbert, the shares shall
be
valued at the average closing bid price for the Common Stock during the 30
trading days immediately preceding the date of any such election by Herbert.
If
any such election is made, the shares issuable to Herbert for the fiscal
year
would vest ratably on a quarterly basis. Herbert acknowledges that the issuance
of the shares to him represents taxable income to him and that he (and not
USA)
shall be responsible for the payment of any and all income taxes attributable
to
the issuance of the shares to him. Herbert shall make appropriate cash payments
to USA to pay for any withholding tax liability of USA in connection with
the
shares. Herbert acknowledges that the Common Stock has not been registered
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or under any state securities
law, and the Common Stock can not be sold or transferred unless such Common
Stock has been registered under the Act or such state securities laws, or
unless
USA has received an opinion of its counsel that such registration is not
required. Herbert
understands that USA has not agreed to register the Common Stock under the
Act
or any state securities laws. In
addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain such
legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall
be
required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be
reasonably required by USA or its transfer agent.
(b) In
addition to the base salary provided for in subparagraph (a), Herbert shall
be
eligible to receive such bonus or bonuses as the Board of Directors of USA
may,
in their discretion, pay to Herbert from time to time based
upon his performance and/or the performance of USA. All awards in this regard
may be made in cash or in Common Stock.
(c) Herbert
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by USA for all reasonable expenses reasonably
incurred by Herbert in connection with his employment duties hereunder. Such
expenses shall include but not be limited to all reasonable business travel
expenses such as tolls, gasoline and mileage. Herbert shall reasonably document
all requests for expense reimbursements.
(d)
At
the
time of the signing of this Agreement by each of USA and Herbert, USA shall
issue to Herbert options to acquire up to 18,000 shares of USA Common Stock
for
an exercise price of $7.50 per share (which is equal to the average
closing bid price for the Common Stock during the 30 trading days immediately
preceding the execution and delivery by USA and Herbert of this
Agreement).
The
options shall vest as
follows: 6,000 on the date hereof; 6,000 on June 30, 2007; and 6,000 on June
30,
2008.
The
options shall be exercisable at any time within five years of vesting. All
of
the terms and conditions of the options are set forth in the Option Certificate
attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
Herbert
acknowledges that such options are not incentive stock options as such term
is
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
or part
of an employee stock purchase plan as defined in Section 423 thereunder.
As a
result, among other things, taxable income will be realized by Herbert at
the
time of the exercise of any such options.
Herbert
also acknowledges that neither the options nor the Common Stock underlying
the
options have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(“Act”), or under any state securities laws, and neither the options nor the
Common Stock underlying the options can be sold or transferred unless such
options or Common Stock have been registered under the Act or such state
securities laws, or unless USA has received an opinion of counsel that such
registration is not required. Herbert understands that USA has not agreed
to
register the options or the underlying Common Stock under the Act or any
state
securities laws.
(e)
On the date of the execution and delivery by each of USA and Herbert of this
Agreement, USA shall issue to Herbert 50,000 nonvested shares of Common Stock
as a bonus. These shares shall vest as follows: 16,667 on June 1, 2006; 16,667
on January 1, 2007; and 16,666 on June 1, 2007. Herbert acknowledges that
the Common Stock has not been registered under the Act or under any state
securities law, and the Common Stock can not be sold or transferred unless
such Common Stock has been registered under the Act or such state securities
laws, or unless USA has received an opinion of its counsel that such registration
is not required. Herbert acknowledges that the issuance of the shares to him
represents taxable income to him and that he (and not USA) shall be responsible
for the payment of any and all income taxes attributable to the issuance of
the shares to him. Herbert shall make appropriate cash payments to USA to
pay for any withholding tax liability of USA in connection with the shares.
In addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain
such legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall
be required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be
reasonably required by USA or its transfer agent.
SECTION
3. Termination.
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, USA may terminate the employment
of Herbert at any time upon notice delivered to Herbert in the event that
(i)
Herbert commits any criminal or fraudulent act; or (ii) Herbert breaches
any
term or condition of this Agreement; or (iii) Herbert willfully abandons
his
duties hereunder. Upon such termination neither party hereto shall have any
further duties or obligations hereunder whatsoever; provided, however, that
Herbert' obligations under Sections 5 and 6 hereof shall survive any such
termination.
SECTION
4. Death
and Disability.
(a) If
Herbert shall die during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate
as of the date of such death and except for any base salary or bonuses accrued
as of such date USA shall have no further duties or obligations hereunder
whatsoever.
(b) If
USA
determines in good faith that Herbert is incapacitated by accident, sickness
or
otherwise so as to render him mentally or physically incapable of performing
the
services required of him hereunder for an aggregate of ninety (90) consecutive
days, upon the expiration of such period or at any time thereafter, by action
of
USA, Herbert’s employment hereunder may be terminated immediately, upon giving
him 30 days written notice to that effect, and upon such termination except
for
any base salary or bonuses accrued as of such date neither party hereto shall
have any further duties or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that
Herbert’s obligations under Sections 5 and 6 hereof shall survive any such
termination. USA shall be entitled to rely upon the advice and opinion of
any
physician of its choosing in making any determination with respect to any
such
disability. In the case of such termination, USA agrees to maintain existing
health care and disability benefits on behalf of Herbert for a minimum of
one
year following the date of termination.
SECTION
5. Business
Secrets.
(a) Except
in
connection with his duties hereunder, Herbert shall not, directly or indirectly,
at any time from and after the date hereof, and whether or not the Employment
Period has terminated, or whether or not Herbert’s employment has terminated for
any reason whatsoever, make any use of, exploit, disclose, or divulge to
any
other person, firm or corporation, any trade or business secret, customer
or
supplier information, documents, know-how, data, marketing information, method
or means, or any other confidential (i.e. not already otherwise disseminated
to
or available to the public) information concerning the business or policies
of
USA, that Herbert learned as a result of, in connection with, through his
employment with, or through his affiliation with USA, whether or not pursuant
to
this Agreement.
(b) From
and
after the date hereof, except in connection with his duties hereunder, and
for a
one (1) year period following the termination of the Employment Period, or
for a
one (1) year period following the termination of Herbert’s employment hereunder
if earlier, Herbert shall not solicit, or divert business from, or serve,
or
sell to, any customer or account of USA of which Herbert is or becomes aware,
or
with which Herbert has had personal contact as a result of, in connection
with,
through his employment with, or through his affiliation with USA, whether
or not
pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the prior sentence, following the termination of Herbert's
employment with USA, Herbert shall be permitted to sell products to customers
or
accounts of USA, provided such products are not competitive with, or similar
to,
any products of USA, whether such products are offered now or at any time
in the
future by USA.
(c)
All
documents, data, know-how, designs, inventions, names, marketing information,
method or means, materials, software programs, hardware, configurations,
information, data processing reports, lists and sales analyses, price lists
or
information, or any other materials or data of any kind furnished to Herbert
by
USA, or developed by Herbert on behalf of USA or at USA's direction or for

FIRST
AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AND
NON-COMPETITION
AGREEMENT
This
First Amendment is made on the 11th
day of
May 2006, by and between DAVID M. DeMEDIO ("DeMedio"), and USA TECHNOLOGIES,
INC., a Pennsylvania corporation ("USA").
Background
USA
and
DeMedio entered into an Employment And Non-Competition Agreement dated April
12,
2005 (the "Agreement"). As more fully set forth herein, the parties desire
to
amend the Agreement in certain respects.
Agreement
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants set forth herein, and intending
to
be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
A.
The
date
“April 30, 2006” appearing in the first and second sentences of subparagraph (a)
of Section 1. Employment
of the
Agreement is hereby deleted and the date “June 30, 2008” is hereby substituted
in its place.
B.
The
following new subparagraph (c) shall be added to Section 1. Employment
of the
Agreement:
(c)
If
during the Employment Period a USA Transaction (as such term is defined in
the
Employment Agreement of George R. Jensen, Jr.) shall occur, then DeMedio may
upon thirty days prior notice to USA, terminate the Employment Period. Upon
such
termination by DeMedio, neither party shall have any further duties or
obligations hereunder, provided, however, that DeMedio’s obligations under
Sections 5 and 6 hereof shall survive any such termination.
C.
Subparagraph
(a) of Section 2. Compensation
and Benefits
of the
Agreement is hereby deleted and the following new subparagraph (a) is hereby
substituted in its place:
(a)
In
consideration of his services rendered, commencing on the date hereof, USA
shall
pay to DeMedio a base salary of $165,000 per year during the Employment Period,
subject to any withholding required by law. DeMedio's
base
salary may be increased from time to time in the discretion of the Board of
Directors.
For
each
of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, and June 30, 2008, DeMedio shall
have
the option to elect to have fifty percent (50%) of his base salary paid in
Common Stock of USA (“Common Stock”) rather than cash. Any such election must be
made not later than 60-days following the commencement of each such fiscal
year
by appropriate notice by DeMedio to USA. For the purposes of calculating the
number of shares to be issued to DeMedio, the shares shall be valued at the
average closing bid price for the Common Stock during the 30 trading days
immediately preceding the date of any such election by DeMedio. If any such
election is made, the shares issuable to DeMedio for the fiscal year would
vest
ratably on a quarterly basis. DeMedio acknowledges that the issuance of the
shares to him represents taxable income to him and that he (and not USA) shall
be responsible for the payment of any and all income taxes attributable to
the
issuance of the shares to him. DeMedio shall make appropriate cash payments
to
USA to pay for any withholding tax liability of USA in connection with the
shares. DeMedio acknowledges that the Common Stock has not been registered
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or under any state
securities law, and the Common Stock can not be sold or transferred unless
such
Common Stock has been registered under the Act or such state securities laws,
or
unless USA has received an opinion of its counsel that such registration is
not
required.
DeMedio
understands that USA has not agreed to register the Common Stock under the
Act
or any state securities laws. In
addition, the certificates representing the Common Stock shall contain such
legends, or restrictive legends, or stop transfer instructions, as shall be
required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, or as shall be
reasonably required by USA or its transfer agent.
D. The
following new subsection (e) shall be added to Section 2. Compensation
and Benefits
of the
Agreement:
(e)
At
the time of the signing of this First Amendment by each of USA and DeMedio,
USA
shall issue to DeMedio options to acquire up to 7,000 shares of USA Common
Stock
for an exercise price of $7.50 per share (which is equal to the average
closing bid price for the Common Stock during the 30 trading days immediately
preceding the execution and delivery by USA and DeMedio of this First
Amendment).
The
options shall vest as
follows: 2,334 on the date hereof; 2,333 on June 30, 2007; and 2,333 on June
30,
2008.
The
options shall be exercisable at any time within five years of vesting. All
of
the terms and conditions of the options are set forth in the Option Certificate
attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
DeMedio
acknowledges that such options are not incentive stock options as such term
is
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
part
of an employee stock purchase plan as defined in Section 423 thereunder. As
a
result, among other things, taxable income will be realized by DeMedio at the
time of the exercise of any such options.
DeMedio
also acknowledges that neither the options nor the Common Stock underlying
the
options have been registered under the Act or under any state securities laws,
and neither the options nor the Common Stock underlying the options can be
sold
or transferred unless such options or Common Stock have been registered under
the Act or such state securities laws, or unless USA has received an opinion
of
counsel that such registration is not required. DeMedio understands that USA
has
not agreed to register the options or the underlying Common Stock under the
Act
or any state securities laws.
2.
Modification.
Except
as otherwise specifically set forth in Paragraph 1, the Agreement shall not
be
amended or modified in any respect whatsoever and shall continue in full force
and effect.
3.
Capitalized
Terms.
Except
as specifically provided otherwise herein, all capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
4.
Effective
Time.
The
amendments to the Agreement made in Paragraph 1 hereof shall be effective from
and after the date hereof.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this First Amendment on the
day and year first above written.
