STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


     This Stock Purchase Agreement is made this 13th day of December 2006, by and between USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (“USA” or “Company”), and the buyer identified in the signature page hereto
(“Buyer”). 


Background


     As more fully set forth herein, the Buyer is purchasing from the Company an aggregate of 40,000 shares of Common Stock of USA (the “Shares”) for
$6.00 per share, for an aggregate subscription price of $240,000, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 20,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at $6.40 per share at any time through December 31, 2011(the
“Warrants”). The form of Warrant is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. The Warrants and Shares shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Securities”. The shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants shall be
referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Warrant Shares”. 


Agreement


     NOW THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 


     1. Subscription. The Buyer hereby purchases the Securities from the Company and the Company hereby sells and issues the Securities to the Buyer. USA will deliver to the Buyer certificates representing an aggregate of 150,000 shares of USA
Common Stock and all of the Warrants registered in the name of the Buyer. In full payment for the Securities, the Buyer will deliver to USA, upon receipt of the Securities, a check payable to USA or wire transfer of immediately available funds in
the aggregate amount of $240,000.


     No later than thirty days following the date hereof, USA shall at its cost and expense prepare and file and thereafter use its best efforts to have declared
effective within ninety (90) days from the date hereof, an appropriate Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registering all of the Shares and Warrant Shares for resale by the holder under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”). The registration statement shall be prepared as a “shelf” registration statement under Rule 415, and the Company shall use its best efforts to have the registration statement maintained
effective until the earlier of (i) one year from the date hereof, or (ii) the date that all of the Shares and Warrant Shares are resold pursuant to the registration statement or otherwise. 











     In the event that the registration statement to be filed by the Company is not declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days from the date hereof, then
the Company will pay to Buyer as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty a cash payment equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate subscription price paid by Buyer for each month beyond such ninety (90) day period that the
registration statement is not effective. The foregoing penalty payments shall be pro-rated for any periods of less than one month. The payment of such  liquidated  damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to register the Shares and
Warrant Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The maximum aggregate penalty payable to Buyer shall be twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate subscription price paid by any such Buyer.


2. Verification of Status as "Accredited Investor".


Buyer hereby represents to USA that it qualifies as an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Act because Buyer is a corporation or partnership not
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities with total assets in excess of $5,000,000.


     3. Representations And Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Buyer:


     (a) Issuance of Securities. The issuance of the Securities has been duly authorized by USA, and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


     (b) Corporate Organization.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with all requisite power, authority and licensing to own, operate and lease its
properties and carry on its business as now being conducted.


     (c) Authority.  The
execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to
authorize this Agreement or to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.


     (d) Warrant Stock. 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

2











shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the right of purchase represented by the Warrants. All shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants shall be,
at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Common Stock, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.


     4. Representations by Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants to the Company as follows:


     (a) Buyer has received, read and understands the provisions of each of the following: (i) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2006; (ii) the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 13, 2006; (iii) the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006; (iv) the Company’s Registration Statement
on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on October 20, 2006 and Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on  December 7, 2006 (File No. 333-138116); (v) the risk factors incorporated by reference herein in Section 4(f) hereof; (vi) the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 14, 2006; and (vii) the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 20, 2006. Buyer understands that all of the foregoing together with this Subscription
Agreement shall be referred to herein as “Offering Materials”. 


     (b) Buyer has relied only upon the information presented and contained in the Offering Materials. Buyer has had the opportunity to ask of the person or persons
acting on behalf of the Company any and all relevant questions in connection with any aspect of the Company including, but not limited to, the Securities offered by the Offering Materials and has received answers which it considers to be reasonably
responsive to such questions. Buyer has had the opportunity to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Offering Materials. 


     (c) Buyer understands that it is subscribing for the Securities without being furnished any literature or prospectus in connection with the offering of the
Securities other than the Offering Materials, and that the offering of the Securities presented in the Offering Materials will not have been scrutinized by the securities administrator or similar bureau, agency, or department of the state of his
residence.

     (d) Buyer understands (i) that neither the Securities nor the Warrant Shares have been registered under the Act or registered or qualified under the securities
laws of the state of domicile of Buyer; (ii) that except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer has no right to require such registration or qualification; and (iii) that therefore Buyer must bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite
period of time because neither the Securities nor the Warrant Shares may be sold unless so registered or qualified or unless an exemption from such registration and qualification is available.


Although the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to register for resale the Shares and the Warrant Shares with the SEC, and to use its best efforts to keep such registration statement
current and effective, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful.  In any such event, the Shares and the Warrant Shares would not be registered for resale under the Act, and could only be sold by the holder in reliance upon
exemptions from registration under the Act.


     (e) Subject to being resold pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Securities are being purchased for Buyer’s own account for investment
purposes only and not for the interest of any other person and are not being purchased with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof. Although the Common Stock of USA is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin
Board under the symbol USAT, Buyer also understands that there may not be any established public trading market for the sale of the Shares or the Warrant Shares.


     (f) Buyer recognizes that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk including those special risks set forth under the caption "Risk Factors"
and “Forward Looking Statements” in the Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 Registration Statement of the Company (File No. 333-138116) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2006, all of which are incorporated herein by
reference.


     (g) Subject to the registration rights set forth above, Buyer understands that its right to transfer the Securities or Warrant Shares will be restricted as set
forth on the stock certificates. Such restrictions include provisions against transfer unless such

4











transfer is not in violation of the Act, or applicable state securities laws (including investor suitability standards). Buyer is familiar with Regulation M promulgated under the Act and
agrees to comply with its obligations thereunder.


     (h) All information which Buyer has provided to the Company including, but not limited to, its tax identification number, its financial position, and status as
an accredited investor, and its knowledge of financial and business matters is true, correct and complete as of the date of execution of this Stock Purchase Agreement. Buyer understands that USA will rely in a material degree upon the
representations contained herein.


     (i) Buyer maintains a principal place of business at the address shown on the signature page of this Stock Purchase Agreement, at which address Buyer has
subscribed for the Securities.


     (j) Buyer understands that legends may be placed on any certificate representing the Securities or the Warrant Shares substantially to the following
effect:


THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES STATUTES AND REGULATIONS. SUCH SECURITIES
HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
STATUTES AND REGULATIONS, UNLESS, IN THE OPINION (WHICH SHALL BE IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION) OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.


     (k) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby has been duly authorized by Buyer.


     5. Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants, Agreements and
Remedies.  Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, all representations,
warranties, 

5








covenants, agreements and remedies of the parties hereto, shall survive the date hereof.

     6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties, and there have been no warranties, representations or promises, written or oral, made by any of the parties hereto except as herein expressly set forth herein.

     7. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, as well as their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns but no party may assign its obligations hereunder. 

     8. Pennsylvania Law Controls. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflicts of law rules.
