    RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

    

    

    2018 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

    

    

    

    

    This Agreement (“Agreement”) made as of May 29, 2020 (the “Grant Date”), by and between Anant Agrawal, an individual (“Participant”), and USA
      TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”).

    

    

    BACKGROUND

    

    

    Participant is serving as an employee of the Company. The Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”) provides for
      Awards based upon the Common Stock of the Company. The Company has determined to make an award to Participant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as further set forth below.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given
      to such terms in the Plan.

    

    

    

    

    AGREEMENT

    

    

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

    

    

    1.          Grant of RSUs. Subject to the terms hereof, the Company hereby grants to Participant an award of 16,260 RSUs pursuant to the Plan.  Each RSU represents the right to receive one (1) share of the Company’s
          Common Stock (each, a “Share”) upon vesting and settlement in accordance with Sections 2 and 3 below.  The RSUs (and the Shares underlying the RSUs) are not vested and shall be subject to forfeiture by Participant as more fully described in
          Section 2 below.

    2.          Vesting of RSUs. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the RSUs shall vest in full on December 31, 2020 (the “Vesting Date”), subject to Participant’s continued Service through the Vesting Date; provided,
          that if Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in Participant’s Employment, Non-Interference, Non-Solicitation, Non-Competition and Invention Assignment Agreement with the Company, dated as of November 9,
          2017, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Employment, Non-Interference, Non-Solicitation, Non-Competition and Invention Assignment Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2018, as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to
          Employment, Non-Interference, Non-Solicitation, Non-Competition and Invention Assignment Agreement, dated August 2019, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”)) or by Participant with Good Reason (as defined in
          the Employment Agreement), then any then-unvested RSUs shall immediately vest and the Vesting Date shall be accelerated to the date of such termination of Service. Any RSUs that are not vested on the date of Participant’s termination of Service
          pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be immediately forfeited on the date of such termination for no consideration.

    
      
        

        

        

        

      

      
        


      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    3.          Settlement; Issuance of Shares.  One (1) Share shall be issued in respect of each vested RSU, if any, on the Vesting Date.  The Company shall issue any such Shares
            registered in the name of Participant, Participant’s authorized assignee, or Participant’s legal representative, which shall be evidenced by stock certificates representing the Shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto, appropriate
            entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent, or other appropriate means as determined by the Company.

    4.          Restriction on Transfer. The RSUs shall be non-transferable, and Participant shall not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any RSUs or any Shares underlying the RSUs until such
          Shares have been delivered to Participant in accordance with Section 3.

    5.          No Right to Continued Service; No Rights as Shareholder. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to be retained in any capacity as
            a service provider to the Company or any of its affiliates.  Participant shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to the RSUs unless and until certificates representing the Shares have been issued by the
            Company to the holder of such Shares, or the Shares have otherwise been recorded on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent as owned by such holder.

    6.          Tax Consequences; Section 409A. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions
          contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to Participant any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind
          required by law to be withheld with respect to the grant of this Award, the vesting of the RSUs, or the issuance of the Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10 of the Plan, which is expressly incorporated by reference
          herein.  This Agreement and the RSUs are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the
            Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”).  If the Company at any time determines that this Agreement or the RSUs are not compliant with, or otherwise exempt from, Section 409A, the Company may
            amend this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies, and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Company determines to be necessary or appropriate to cause this Agreement
            and the transactions contemplated thereby to (i) comply with Section 409A, or (ii) otherwise be exempt from Section 409A.  For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of Participant’s Service must constitute a “separation from service” (as
            defined under Section 409A) in order to be deemed a termination of Service hereunder.

    7.          Compliance with Law.  The issuance of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Participant with all applicable requirements of federal and state
            securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed. No Shares shall be issued or transferred unless and until any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory
            agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register any Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities
            commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.

    
      
        

        

        

        

      

      
        


      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    8.          Notices.  Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in care of the chief executive officer at the corporate
          headquarters of the Company, and any notice to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at the current address shown in the Company’s records, or to such other address as Participant may designate to the Company in writing. Any notice shall
          be delivered by hand, sent by telecopy, sent by electronic mail, or enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal
          Service.

    9.         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.

    10.          Binding Effect and Assignability. The rights and obligations of both parties under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon their
          personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.  This Agreement, or any part thereof, may not be assigned by Participant.

    11.          Data Privacy Consent. In order to administer the Plan and this Agreement and to implement or structure future equity grants, the
          Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and certain agents thereof (together, the “Relevant Companies”) may process any and all personal or professional data, including but not limited to Social Security or other identification number, home
          address and telephone number, date of birth, and other information that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan or this Agreement (the “Relevant Information”). By entering into this Agreement, Participant: (i) authorizes the
          Company to collect, process, register, and transfer to the Relevant Companies all Relevant Information; (ii) waives any privacy rights that Participant may have with respect to the Relevant Information; and (iii) authorizes the Relevant Companies
          to store and transmit such information in electronic form. Participant shall have access to, and the right to change, the Relevant Information. Relevant Information will only be used in accordance with applicable law.

    12.          Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall not affect the validity
            or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

    13.          Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute 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; provided, that, Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the grant of this Award is in full and complete satisfaction of any further installments of
          that certain cash bonus in an aggregate amount of $400,000 communicated to Participant by the Company on or about December 3, 2019 and to which Participant may have otherwise been entitled. The Company and Participant have made no promises,
          agreements, conditions, or understandings relating to the RSUs, either orally or in writing, that are not included in this Agreement or the Plan. This Agreement may only be modified by an agreement in writing executed by both the Company and
          Participant. Emailed copies (pdf format) of any party’s signature hereto will have the same effect as an original signature.

    
      
        

        

        

        

      

      
        


      
        

        

        

        

      

    

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
