INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.
|
Section 1746 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (“BCL”), authorizes a Pennsylvania corporation to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving such persons because of their holding or having held such positions with the corporation and to purchase and maintain insurance of such indemnification. Our By-laws substantively provide that we will indemnify our officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent provided by Section 1746 of the BCL.
Section 1713 of the BCL permits a Pennsylvania corporation, by so providing in its By-laws, to eliminate the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for any action taken unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office and the breach or failure constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. In addition, no such limitation of liability is available with respect to the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, state or local law. Our By-laws eliminate the personal liability of the directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 1713 of the BCL.
As permitted by the BCL, our By-laws provide that directors will not be personally liable, as such, for monetary damages for any action taken unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of a director under the BCL and the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. This limitation of personal liability does not apply to any responsibility or liability pursuant to any criminal statute, or any liability for the payment of taxes pursuant to Federal, state or local law. The By-laws also include provisions for indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the BCL. In addition, the Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers which require the Company to indemnify each of such officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors and officers. The indemnification agreements also provide that the Company must advance all expenses incurred by the indemnified person in connection with any proceeding, provided the indemnified person undertakes to repay the advanced amounts if it is determined ultimately that the indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS.
|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

USA Technologies, Inc.
100 Deerfield Lane, Suite 300
Malvern, PA 19355
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-219201) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the registration of 8,131,313 shares of Common Stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of USA Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), including Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an overallotment option granted by the Company to the underwriters.
The Common Stock is to be sold by the Company pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by and between the Company and William Blair & Company, L.L.C., as representative of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement, the form of which has been filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement.
We are acting as counsel for the Company in connection with the issue and sale by the Company of the Common Stock. We have examined signed copies of the Registration Statement as filed with the Commission. We have also examined and relied upon the Underwriting Agreement, resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, each as restated or amended to date, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth.
In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification: (i) the genuineness of all signatures on all agreements, instruments and other documents submitted to us; (ii) the legal capacity and authority of all persons or entities executing all agreements, instruments and other documents submitted to us; (iii) the authenticity and completeness of all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates, and other documents submitted to us as originals; (iv) that all agreements, instruments, corporate records, certificates, and other documents submitted to us as certified, electronic, facsimile, conformed, photostatic, or other copies conform to authentic originals thereof, and that such originals are authentic and complete; (v) the due authorization, execution, and delivery of all agreements, instruments, and other documents by all parties thereto; and (vi) that the statements contained in the certificates and comparable documents of public officials, officers, and representatives of the Company and other persons on which we have relied for the purposes of this opinion letter are true and correct. As to all matters of fact, we have relied (without independent investigation) upon the truthfulness and accuracy of the representations made in certificates or comparable documents of public officials and officers and representatives of the Company.
Based upon and in reliance on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications, and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock is duly authorized, and, when the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, the final Underwriting Agreement is duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, and the Common Stock is registered by the Company’s transfer agent and delivered against payment of the agreed consideration therefore, all in accordance with the final Underwriting Agreement, the Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We express no opinion with regard to the law of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as in effect as of the date hereof. This opinion letter deals only with the specified legal issues expressly addressed herein, and you should not infer any opinion that is not explicitly addressed herein from any matter stated in this opinion letter.
