         6.1 Consistent with the Plan's purpose, Stock Options may be granted to
non-employee directors of the Company or other persons who are performing or who

operation or development of the Company.

         6.2 All Stock  Options  granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an
agreement which shall be subject to applicable  provisions of the Plan, and such
other provisions as the Committee may adopt,  including the provisions set forth
in paragraphs 2 through 11 of this Section 6, in the form  substantially  in the
form as the Stock Option  Agreement as that attached to this Plan as Exhibit "A"
(the "Stock Option Agreement").

         6.3 All Stock  Options  granted  hereunder  must be granted  within ten
years from the  earlier of the date of this Plan is adopted or  approved  by the
Company's shareholders.

         6.4 No Stock Option granted to any employee or 10% Shareholder shall be
exercisable  after  the  expiration  of ten  years  from the date  such  NQSO is
granted. The Committee,  in its discretion,  may provide that an Option shall be
exercisable during such ten-year period or during any lesser period of time.

                  The Committee may establish  installment  exercise terms for a
Stock  Option  such  that the NQSO  becomes  fully  exercisable  in a series  of
cumulating portions.  If an Optionee shall not, in any given installment period,
purchase all the Common Stock which such Optionee is entitled to purchase within
such installment  period, such Optionee's right to purchase any Common Stock not
purchased in such  installment  period shall  continue  until the  expiration or
sooner  termination of such NQSO. The Committee may also accelerate the exercise
of any NQSO,  with mutual  written  consent of the holders of any Stock Options.
However, no NQSO, or any portion thereof, may exercisable until thirty (30) days
following date of grant ("30-Day Holding Period.").

         6.5 A Stock Option, or portion thereof,  shall be exercised by delivery
of (i) a written  notice of  exercise to the  Company  specifying  the number of
Common Stock to be purchased,  and (ii) payment of the full price of such Common
Stock, as fully set forth in paragraph 6 of this Section 6.

              No NQSO or installment  thereof shall be  exercisable  except with
respect to whole shares,  and fractional  shares  interest shall be disregarded.
Not less than 100 Common  Stock may be  purchased  at one time unless the number
purchased is the total number at the time available for purchase under the NQSO.
Until  the  Common  Stock  represented  by an  exercised  NQSO are  issued to an
Optionee, he shall have none of the rights of a shareholder.

                                       5

         6.6 The exercise price of a Stock Option,  or portion  thereof,  may be
paid:

              A. In  United  States  dollars,  in cash  or by  cashier's  check,
certified check, bank draft or money order,  payable to the order of the Company
in an amount equal to the option price; or

              B. At the  discretion  of the  Committee,  through the delivery of
full paid and nonassessable Common Stock, with an aggregate Fair Market Value on
the date the NQSO is exercised equal to the option price, provided such tendered
Shares  have been  owned by the  Optionee  for at least  one year  prior to such
exercise; or

              C. By a combination of both A and B above; or

              D. By a secured Promissory Note, secured by equity approved by the
Committee. The Committee shall determine acceptable methods for tendering Common
Stock as payment upon exercise of a Stock Option and may impose such limitations
and  prohibitions  on the use of Common  Stock to exercise an NQSO,  as it deems
appropriate.

         6.7 With the  Optionee's  consent,  the  Committee may cancel any Stock
Option issued under this Plan and issue a new NQSO to such Optionee.

         6.8 Except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, no right or
interest  in any Stock  Option  granted  under the Plan shall be  assignable  or
transferable,  and no right or interest of any Optionee  shall be liable for, or
subject to, any lien,  obligation  or liability of the  Optionee.  Stock Options
shall be exercisable during the Optionee's  lifetime only by the Optionee or the
duly appointed legal representative of an incompetent Optionee.

         6.9 If the  Optionee  shall die while  associated  with the  Company or
within  three  months  after  termination  of  such  association,  the  personal
representative or administrator of the Optinee's estate or the person(s) to whom
an NQSO granted hereunder shall have been validly  transferred by such personal,
representative  or administrator  pursuant to the Optionee's will or the laws of
descent and distribution, shall have the right to exercise the NQSO for one year
after the date of such  termination  of employment by death,  and (ii) such NQSO
was not exercised,  and (iii) the exercise period may not be extended beyond the
expiration of the term of the Option.

              No transfer of a Stock Option by the will of an Optionee or by the
laws of descent and  distribution  shall be effective to bind by Company  unless
the  Company  shall  have   furnished   with  written   notice  thereof  and  an
authenticated  copy of the will and/or such other  evidence as the Committee may
deem  necessary to establish  the validity o the transfer and the  acceptance by
the transferee or transferee of the terms and conditions of such Stock Option.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         In  the  event  of  death  following   termination  of  the  Optionee's
association  with the Company while any portion of an NQSO remains  exercisable,
the Committee,  in its discretion,  may provide for an extension of the exercise
period  of up to one  year  after  the  Optionee's  death  but  not  beyond  the
expiration of the term of the Stock Option.

         6.10 Any Optionee who disposes of Common Stock acquired on the exercise
of a NQSO by sale or exchange  either (i) within two years after the date of the
grant of the NQSO under  which the stock was  acquired,  or (ii) within one year
after  the  acquisition  of  such  Shares,  shall  notify  the  Company  of such
disposition  and of the amount realized upon such  disposition.  The transfer of
Common Stock may also be made under applicable  provisions of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.

7.       Adjustments or Changes in Capitalization

         7.1 In the event that the  outstanding  Common Stock of the Company are
hereafter  changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
other  securities  of the  Company  by reason of  merger,  consolidation,  other
reorganization, recapitalization, combination of shares, stock split-up or stock
dividend:

                  A.  Prompt,  proportionate,  equitable,  lawful  and  adequate
adjustment  shall be made of the aggregate  number and kind of shares subject to
Stock Options which may be granted under the Plan,  such that the Optionee shall
have the right to purchase  such Common  Stock as may be issued in exchange  for
the  Common  Stock  purchasable  on  exercise  of  the  NQSO  has  such  merger,
consolidation,   other   reorganization,   recapitalization,   reclassification,
combination  of  shares,  stock  split-up  or stock  dividend  not taken  place,
provided however that, notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary the
number of Plan shares shall not be affected or altered in any way by reason of a
reverse split of the Company's Common Stock;

                  B. Rights under  unexercised Stock Options or portions thereof
granted  prior to any such  change,  both as to the number or kind of shares and
the exercise  price per share,  shall be adjusted  appropriately,  provided that
such  adjustments  shall be made  without  change  in the total  exercise  price
applicable to he unexercised  portion of such NQSO's but by an adjustment in the
price  for  each  share   covered  by  such  NQSO's,   provided   however  that,
notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the number of Plan Shares
shall not be affected or altered in any way by reason of a reverse  split of the
Company's Common Stock;

                  C. Upon any  dissolution  or liquidation of the Company or any
merger or combination in which the Company is not a surviving corporation,  each
outstanding  Stock Option granted  hereunder shall  terminate,  but the Optionee
shall have the right, immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, merger
or combination,  to exercise his NQSO in whole part, to the extent that it shall
not have been exercised,  without regard to any installment  exercise provisions
in such NQSO.

                  D.  Pursuant  to  Title  17,  Chapter  II,  Part   230.416(a),
notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to cover the contrary,  including
any  adjustments  discussed  in this  Paragraph  7,  the  Plan  Shares  shall be
anti-dilutive  in the event of a reverse  stock  split by the  Company,  i.e.  a
reverse  stock split by the Company  shall not affect or result in any reduction
in the number of Plan Shares remaining in the Plan at the effective time of such
reverse stock split(s).

         7.2 The  foregoing  adjustments  and the manner of  application  of the
foregoing  provisions  shall  be  determined  solely  by  the  Committee,  whose
determination as to what adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof, shall
be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the
Plan on account of any such adjustments.

8.       Merger, Consolidation or Tender Offer

         8.1 If the  Company  shall be a party  to a  binding  agreement  to any
merger,  consolidation or reorganization or sale of substantially all the assets
of the Company,  each  outstanding  Stock Option shall  pertain and apply to the
securities  and/or property which a shareholder of the number of Common Stock of
the Company  subject to the NQSO would be  entitled to receive  pursuant to such
merger, consolidation or reorganization or sales of assets.

8.2      In the event that:

                  A. Any person other than the Company  shall  acquire more than
20% of the Common Stock of the Company through a tender offer, exchange offer or
otherwise;

                  B. A change in the  "control" of the Company  occurs,  as such
term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933;

                  C. There  shall be a sale of all or  substantially  all of the
assets of the Company;

Committee to be a statutory  officer  ("Insider")  for purposes of Section 16 of
the Securities  Act of 1934 shall be entitled to receive,  subject to any action
by the Committee  revoking such an entitlement as provided for below, in lieu of
exercise of such Stock Option, to the extent that it is then exercisable, a cash
payment in an amount  equal to the  difference  between the  aggregate  exercise
price  such  NQSO,  or  portion  thereof,  and,  (i) in the event of an offer or
similar  event,  the final offer price per share paid for Common Stock,  or such
lower price as the  Committee may determine to conform an option to preserve its
Stock Option  status,  times and number of Common  Stock  covered by the NQSO or

<PAGE>

         8.3 Any  payment  which the  Company is  required  to make  pursuant to
paragraph 8.2 of this Section 8 shall be made within 15 business days, following
the event which results in the Optionee's right to such payment. In the event of
a tender offer in which fewer than all the shares which are validly  tendered in
compliance  with such are purchased or exchanged,  then only that portion of the
shares covered by an NQSO as results from multiplying such shares by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of Common Stock tendered in compliance with
such offer shall be used to determine the payment thereupon.  To the extent that
all or any portion of a Stock Option shall be affected by this provision, all or
such portion of the NQSO shall be terminated.

         8.4  Notwithstanding  paragraphs  8.1 and 8.3 of this  Section  8,  the
Committee  may,  by  unanimous  vote and  resolution,  unilaterally  revoke  the
benefits of the above provisions;  provided, however, that such vote is taken no
later than ten business days following  public  announcement of the intent of an
offer or the change of control, whichever occurs earlier.

         9.1 The  Board  may at any  time,  and from  time to time,  suspend  or
terminate  the Plan in  whole  or in part or amend it from  time to time in such
respects  as the  Board may deem  appropriate  and in the best  interest  of the
Company.

         9.2 No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without
the Optionee's  consent,  alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under
any Stock Option theretofore granted to him under the Plan.

         9.3 The Board may amend the  Plan,  subject  to the  limitations  cited

between the Company and the Optionee.

         11.2 Any  expenses  of  administering  this Plan  shall be borne by the
Company.

         11.3 The payment  received  from  Optionee  from the  exercise of Stock
Options under the Plan shall be used for the general  corporate  purposes of the
Company.

         11.4 The place of  administration  of the Plan shall be in the State of
California, and the validity, construction,  interpretation,  administration and
effect of the Plan and of its rules and regulations,  and rights relating to the
Plan,  shall be determined  solely in  accordance  with the laws of the State of
California.

         11.5 Without  amending the Plan,  grants may be made to persons who are
foreign  nationals or employed outside the United States, or both, on such terms
and  conditions,  consistent  with the  Plan's  purpose,  different  from  those
specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee,  be necessary or
desirable to create  equitable  opportunities  given  differences in tax laws in
other countries.

         11.6 In addition,  to such other rights of  indemnification as they may
have as  members of the Board or the  Committee,  the  members of the  Committee
shall be  indemnified by the Company  against all costs and expenses  reasonably
incurred by them in connection with any action, taken or failure to act under or
in connection with the Plan or any Stock Option granted thereunder,  and against
all amounts paid by them in  settlement  thereof  (provided  such  settlement is
approved by independent  legal counsel  selected by the Company) or paid by them
in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action,  suit or proceeding,  except a
judgment base upon a finding of a bad faith;  provided that upon the institution
of any such action,  suit or proceeding a Committee  member  shall,  in writing,
given the Company  notice  thereof and an  opportunity,  at its own expense,  to
handle and defend the same, with counsel acceptable to the Optionee, before such
Committee member undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf.

         11.7 Stock Options may be granted under this Plan from time to time, in
substitution  for stock options held by employees of other  corporations who are
about  to  become  employees  of  the  Company  as the  result  of a  merger  or

                                       10
<PAGE>

consolidation  of the employing  corporation with the Company or the acquisition
by the  Company  of  stock of the  employing  corporation  as a result  which it
becomes a subsidiary of the Company.  The terms and conditions set forth in this
Plan to such  extent as the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  at the time of
grant may be deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions
of the stock  options in  substitution  for which they are granted,  but no such
variations  shall be such as to affect the status of any such  substitute  stock
options as a stock option under Section 422A of the Code.

         11.8  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  in the Plan,  of the
Committee  finds by a  majority  vote,  after  full  consideration  of the facts
presented on behalf of both the Company and the Optionee,  that the Optionee has
been engaged in fraud,  embezzlement,  theft,  insider  trading in the Company's
stock,  commission  of a  felony  or  proven  dishonesty  in the  course  of his
association  with the Company or any  subsidiary  corporation  which damaged the
Company or any subsidiary  corporation,  or for disclosing  trade secrets of the
Company  or  any  subsidiary  corporation  ,  the  Optionee  shall  forfeit  all
unexercised  Stock Options and all exercised  NQSO's under which the Company has
not yet delivered the  certificates  and which have been earlier  granted to the
Optionee by the  Committee.  The decision of the Committee as to the cause of an
Optionee's  discharge  and the damage  done to the  Company  shall be final.  No
decision of the Committee,  however,  shall affect the finality of the discharge
of such Optionee by the Company or any subsidiary corporation in any manner.

12.      Written Assignment

              12.1 Each Stock Option  granted  hereunder  shall be embodied in a
written  Stock  Option  Agreement  which  shall  be  subject  to the  terms  and
conditions  prescribed  above and shall be  signed  by the  Optionee  and by the
President  or any  Vice  President  of the  Company,  for and in the name and on
behalf of the Company.  Such Stock  Option  Agreement  shall  contain such other
provisions as the Committee, in its discretion shall be deem advisable.

3.       Adjustment of Option Shares

         The number of Option Shares  purchasable  pursuant to this Option shall
         be  subject  to  adjustment  from  time to time upon the  happening  of

                  thereto;  provided however that,  notwithstanding  anything in

                  which he would  have  owned or have been  entitled  to receive
                  after the  happening of such  consolidation,  merger,  sale or
                  conveyance.  The provisions of this paragraph  shall similarly
                  apply  to  successive   consolidations,   mergers,   sales  or
                  conveyances.

         C)       Notice of  Adjustment.  Whenever  the number of Option  Shares

La Jolla Cove Investors, Inc.
1795 Union Street, 3rd floor
San Francisco, CA 94123
Attn:        Mr. Travis Huff, Portfolio Manager

          Re:      USA Technologies, Inc.

Dear Mr. Huff:

         As you know, the SEC staff has indicated that the issuance by USA to La
Jolla in March 2003 of warrants to  purchase  up to  9,000,000  shares of common
Stock may be in violation  of the  registration  provisions  of the 1933 Act. In
such event,  La Jolla has rescission  rights in connection  these warrants under
Section 12(1) of the 3.933 Act.  These  warrants  (which were in addition to the
conversion  warrants  issuable  at the  time of  conversion  of the  convertible
debenture)  had been granted to La Jolla in  recognition  of the delay in having
the resale  registration  statement declared effective on a timely basis. On the
date hereof, USA and La Jolla agree that these 9,000,000 warrants (none of which
have been  exercised) are hereby  canceled and rescinded and of no further force
or effect whatsoever.

          This will also  confirm  that as of the date  hereof,  La Jolla  holds
additional  warrants  to  purchase up to  17,465,376  shares of Common  Stock at
$.1008 per share. These so-called  "conversion warrants" were issued to La Jolla
in  Connection  with  and at the  time  of the  conversions  of the  convertible
debenture on April 18. 2003,  April 24, 2003 and June 2. 2003.  The Common Stock
underlying  these warrants had originally  been included in the November 8, 2002
registration  statement.  The SEC staff  indicated  that because the  Conversion
warrants  had not vested as of  November  e, 2002,  the  shares  underlying  the
warrants had to be removed  from the  registration  statement.  USA will include
these Shares in the new resale  registration  statement to be filed with the SEC
within the next several weeks.

          This will  confirm  that the  entire  convertible  debenture  has been
converted  into  Common  Stock as of June 2, 2003,  and that all,  of the shares
issued upon conversion have been sold by La Jolla under Rule 144.

                   Except as otherwise set forth above, the existing  agreements
between  USA and La Jolla  shall  not be  amended  or  modified  in any  respect
whatsoever and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance  with their
terms.

          Please  indicate  La Jolla's  agreement  to this letter  agreement  by
signing below where indicated and returning it to me.

                                            Sincerely.
