1. Accounting Policies
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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006. 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, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2007. The balance sheet at June 30, 2006 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.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Stitch Networks Corporation ("Stitch") and USAT Capital Corp LLC (USAT Capital). 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.

1. Accounting Policies (Continued)
Available-for-sale Securities
The Company accounts for investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Management determines the appropriate classifications of securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If the investment sustains an other-than-temporary decline in fair value, the investment is written down to its fair value by a charge to earnings. As of March 31, 2007, Available-for-sales securities consisted of auction market securities. There was no unrealized gain (loss) as of March 31, 2007.
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 has 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, 2007 and 2006 given the Companys 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 (i.e. IRS Code Section 382).

1. Accounting Policies (Continued)
Loss Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share are 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.
Shared-Based Payment
On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted FAS123(R) Share-Based Payment 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. There were no common stock options granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $928,843 related to Common Stock grants and vesting of shares previously granted to employees and $283,028 related to the vesting of Common Stock options during the nine months ended March 31, 2007.
Recent Pronouncements
On December 21, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued FASB Staff Position EITF 00-19-2 (FSP EITF 00-19-2). This FSP addresses an issuers accounting for registration payment arrangements and specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This FSP was effective on December 21, 2006 for new arrangements. For registration payment arrangements entered into prior to the issuance of this FSP, this guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company elected to adopt FSP EITF 00-19-2 early, on December 21, 2006. See Note 4.

4. Common Stock (continued)
On March 14, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with S.A.C. Capital Associates, LLC (SAC). Pursuant thereto, the Company sold to SAC 1,666,667 shares of the Companys Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000. The Company also issued warrants to SAC to purchase up to 833,333 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.40 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time within six years following the six-month anniversary of the issuance of the warrants. The fair value of these warrants was estimated to be $2,897,204 using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected stock price volatility of 0.545, risk free interest rate of 5.14%, and an expected life of six years. Upon vesting, the warrants are exercisable to the extent that such exercise would not result in the beneficial ownership by SAC and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the number of shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares upon exercise of the warrants. The warrant also provides that if the Company would issue securities in the future at a purchase price that is less than the exercise price of the warrant, then the exercise price of the warrant would be reduced to such lower purchase price, provided, however, that such exercise price can never be lower than $5.90 which was the closing bid price of our shares on the day prior to the sale of our securities to SAC. The warrant also provides that in the event we issue securities at a purchase price less than the exercise price of the warrant, the number of shares issuable under the warrant shall be increased by that number of shares determined by multiplying the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares issuable under the warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the new exercise price of the warrant (which can never be less than $5.90) . Under this formula, the maximum number shares would be issuable under the warrant would be 903,955. The warrant provides that no adjustments shall be made for any shares sold to Mr. Illes by the Company under the 2006-B Common Stock Agreement. There were no commissions or placement agent fees paid by the Company in connection with this offering. The proceeds received by the Company were reduced by a $100,000 expense allowance. The Company registered the shares under this agreement effective May 11, 2007.
For a period of five years, SAC has been granted the pre-emptive right to purchase that number of securities being offered for sale by the Company in order to maintain SACs pro-rata ownership of the Common Stock of the Company following the issuance of any such securities by the Company. SAC has also been granted the right to have one observer attend all of the Companys Board of Director meetings for a period of one year.

Pursuant to and as defined in the Program, each executive would be awarded shares of the Companys Common Stock if the Company achieves certain target goals relating to revenues, gross profit, and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) (the Target Goals) of the Company during each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009. The maximum number of shares that can be awarded under the Program is 952,298.
During each such fiscal year, the number of eligible shares to be awarded to the executive is based upon the following weightings: 40% of eligible shares are determined by revenues; 30% of eligible shares are determined by gross profit; and 30% of eligible shares are determined by EBITDA.
If the Target Goals are achieved by the Company during the applicable fiscal year, the executive officers would be awarded the following number of shares:
Fiscal Year Ended | |||
June 30, | |||
2007 | 2008 | 2009 | |

Stephen P. Herbert | 53,713 | 53,713 | 53,714 |
David M. DeMedio | 21,663 | 21,663 | 21,664 |
If the actual results for a particular fiscal year exceeds the Target Goals, each executive would be awarded an additional pro rata portion of the eligible shares, up to an amount no greater than 125% of the number of eligible shares. If the actual results for a particular fiscal year is less than the Target Goals, each executive would be awarded a lesser pro rata portion of the number of eligible shares. If minimum Target Goals for a particular fiscal year are not achieved, no eligible shares would be awarded to each executive.
If a USA Transaction (as defined in Mr. Jensens Employment Agreement) would occur during any such fiscal year, and provided that the executive is an employee of the Company on the date of such USA Transaction, the executive would be awarded shares for each of the fiscal years that have not yet been completed as of the date of such USA Transaction. The number of shares to be awarded to each executive for each of the uncompleted fiscal years is as follows: Mr. Jensen-178,570 shares; Mr. Herbert-53,713 shares; and Mr. DeMedio-21,663 shares.

Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2007
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $2,690,414 compared to $1,618,776 for the corresponding three-month period in the previous fiscal year. This $1,071,638 or 66% increase was due to an increase in equipment sales of $994,314 and an increase in license and transaction fees of $77,324. The increase in equipment sales was due to an increase in e-Port vending sales of approximately $1,363,000, relating primarily to our initiative with Mastercard Worldwide, an increase in other equipment sales of approximately $63,000, which is offset by a decrease in sales of approximately $331,000 of energy conservation equipment and a decrease of approximately $101,000 in sales of business centers.
18
Cost of sales for the period consisted of equipment costs of $2,022,159 and network and transaction related costs of $350,315. The increase in total cost of sales of $1,441,447 or 155% over the prior year period was due to an increase in equipment costs of $1,303,472 and network and transaction related costs of $137,975. The increase in equipment costs was due to the change in sales mixture that consisted of an increase in higher cost e-Port equipment, as compared to the cost of our energy conservation equipment. The increase in network and transaction costs relates to an increase in the number of devices on our network and the number of transactions processed.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $317,940, compared to a gross profit of $687,749 for the corresponding three-month period in the previous fiscal year. This 54% decrease is primarily due to the change in equipment sales mixture that consisted of an increase in sales of e-Ports at or near cost along with a decrease in sales of our higher margin energy conservation equipment sales. The resulting e-Port margins were driven by our market seeding program with Mastercard Worldwide. Product pricing under this program does not reflect the Companys current retail pricing.
General and administrative expense of $1,292,267 decreased by $129,066 or 9% primarily due to a decrease in repairs and maintenance costs of approximately $97,000, a decrease in bad debt expense of approximately $62,000, a decrease in royalty expense of approximately $50,000, and an overall decrease in various expense categories of approximately $71,000, offset by an increase in consulting expense of approximately $151,000.
Compensation expense of $2,308,277 (approximately $532,000 of non-cash charges) increased by $741,704 or 47% primarily due to an increase in salaries expense of approximately $256,000 due to an increase in the number of employees, an increase in bonus expense of approximately $491,000 due to non-cash charges from common stock issued to employees and executive officers and the vesting of common stock option grants to our executive officers, offset by a decrease in sales commissions of approximately $28,000 due to a decrease in energy equipment sales and a new commission plan.
Interest expense of $514,284 decreased by $95,865 or 16% primarily due to a reduction in the amount of interest expense relating to senior notes that were repaid early in December 2006, offset by the recognition of the remaining unamortized debt discount on the $1,645,841 of convertible Senior Notes that were repaid early in March 2007.
The quarter ended March 31, 2007 resulted in a net loss of $4,119,458 (approximately $1.2 million of non-cash charges) compared to a net loss of $3,313,868 (approximately $0.7 million of non-cash charges) for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Nine months ended March 31, 2007
Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 were $6,711,033 compared to $4,940,414 for the corresponding nine-month period in the previous fiscal year. This $1,770,619 or 36% increase was primarily due to an increase in equipment sales of $1,580,390 and license and transaction fees of $190,229. The increase in equipment sales was due to an increase in sales of approximately $2,404,000 of e-Port vending equipment sales, relating primarily to our initiative with MasterCard Worldwide, and approximately $55,000 in other equipment sales, offset by decreases of approximately $703,000 in energy conservation equipment, approximately $114,000 in laundry equipment sales and approximately $62,000 in business center sales.
Cost of sales for the period consisted of equipment costs of $4,610,096 and network and transaction related costs of $883,272. The increase in cost of sales of $2,343,512 or 74% over the prior year period was due to an increase in equipment costs of $2,120,891 and an increase of $222,621 of network and transaction related costs. The increase in equipment costs is due to the increase in equipment sales, specifically, the increase in equipment costs was due to the change in sales mixture that consisted of an increase in our higher cost e-Port equipment, as compared to the cost of our energy conservation equipment. The increase in network and transaction costs relates to an increase in the number of devices on our network and the number of transactions processed.
Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was $1,217,665 compared to gross profit of $1,790,558 for the corresponding nine-month period in the previous fiscal year . This 32% decrease is primarily due to the change in equipment sales mixture that consisted of an increase in sales of e-Ports at or near cost along with a decrease in our higher margin energy Miser sales. The resulting e-Port margins were driven by our market seeding program with Mastercard Worldwide. Product pricing under this program does not reflect the Companys current retail pricing.
General and administrative expense of $4,233,885, increased by $572,778 or 16% primarily due to an increase in consulting expense of approximately $408,000, an increase in legal fees of approximately $219,000, an increase in temporary labor expenses of approximately $84,000 and an increase of approximately $119,000 in product development costs, offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance expense of approximately $121,000 and a decrease in royalty expense of approximately $139,000.
Compensation expense of $6,172,890 (approximately $1,213,000 of non-cash charges) increased by $1,812,954 or 42%, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expense of approximately $663,000 related to the increase in the number of employees and an increase in bonus expense of approximately $1,091,000 due to non-cash charges from common stock issued to employees and executive officers and the vesting of common stock option grants to our executive officers.
Interest expense of $1,867,796 decreased by $77,994 or 4% primarily due to a reduction in the amount of interest expense relating to senior notes that were repaid early in December 2006, offset by the recognition of the remaining unamortized debt discount on the $1,645,841 of convertible Senior Notes that were repaid early in March 2007.
20
The nine-month period ended March 31, 2007 resulted in a net loss of $12,176,860 (approximately $3.9 million of non-cash charges) compared to a net loss of $9,374,830 (approximately $2.2 million of non-cash charges) for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 .
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, net cash of $10,897,110 was used by operating activities, primarily due to the net loss of $12,176,860 offset by non-cash charges totaling $3,882,001 for transactions involving the issuance of Common Stock and Common Stock Options for compensation, the issuance of Common Stock for legal settlements, the gain on repayment of Senior Notes, bad debt expense, depreciation and amortization of assets, and amortization of debt discount. In addition to these non-cash charges, the Companys net operating assets increased by $2,602,251 primarily due to the increases in accounts receivables and inventory along with decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Proceeds from financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 provided $21,064,789 of funds, a portion of which was necessary to support cash used in operating and investing activities. Net proceeds of $26,967,182 were realized from the issuance of Common Stock, $3,234 of proceeds from the collection of subscriptions receivable and $470,000 of proceeds from a loan agreement, offset by cash used to repay long-term debt ($177,151) and Senior Notes less discount ($6,198,476).
The Company has incurred losses since inception. Cumulative losses through March 31, 2007 amounted to approximately $140,000,000. The Company has continued to raise capital through equity offerings to fund operations.
During the year ended June 30, 2006, cash used in operating activities was approximately $925,000 per month. Using the prior fiscal year as a basis for estimating cash requirements for the year ending June 30, 2007 (which assumes a static level of revenues), cash requirements for the fiscal year 2007, including requirements for capital expenditures and repayments of long-term debt, would be approximately $11,600,000.
As of March 31, 2007 the Company had approximately $5,700,000 of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $7,000,000 of short-term available-for-sale securities.
On September 25, 2006, the Company entered into the 2006-B Common Stock Agreement with Mr. Illes, as more fully disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, pursuant to which he agreed to purchase shares with an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $15,000,000.

21
On April 30, 2007, the Company prepaid all of the remaining outstanding convertible senior notes in the principal amount of $3,652,000. Each of the note holders has the right, for 30 days, to elect to convert the Senior Notes into shares of Common Stock in lieu of accepting the repayment. As of May 14, 2007, the holders of $798,800 of these Senior Notes elected to convert their Senior Notes at the rate of $10 per share into 79,880 shares of Common Stock in lieu of accepting repayment.
From April 1, 2007 through May 4, 2007, the holders of 32,098 warrants at $6.40 per share exercised their warrants for total proceeds of $205,427.
Funding sources in place to meet the Company's cash requirements for the year ending June 30, 2007 are primarily comprised of approximately $6,000,000 in cash and cash equivalents on hand and $4,000,000 of available-for-sale securities as of May 4, 2007, the proceeds that are available from Mr. Illes under the 2006-B Common Stock Agreement totaling $7,596,257, as referred to above, and future exercises of warrants (750,802 of which are currently exerciseable and in the money as of the date hereof and could generate proceeds of approximately $4,850,000 and 833,333 of which will become exercisable on September 15, 2007 and are in the money as of the date hereof and could generate proceeds of approximately $5,333,000), for total resources of approximately $27,779,000. The foregoing warrants that become exercisable on September 15, 2007 can not be exercised to the extent the exercise would result in the holder thereof being the beneficial owner of more than 9.99% of our shares. The owner of these warrants is currently the beneficial owner of approximately 15% of our shares, and therefore these warrants could not be exercised by the holder unless and until its ownership of our shares is reduced. The Company believes these existing sources will provide sufficient funds to meet its cash requirements through at least June 30, 2008.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Companys exposure to market risks for interest rate changes is not significant. Interest rates on its Senior Notes and long-term debt are generally fixed and its investments in cash equivalents and other securities are not significant. Market risks related to fluctuations of foreign currencies are not significant and the Company has no derivative financial instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, they conclude that the disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
22
(b) Changes in internal controls.
There have been no changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - Other Information
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company issued to Steve Illes 255,495 shares of Common Stock under the 2006-B Common Stock Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $1,573,000. The offer and sale of the shares were exempt from registration under Rule 506 promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Mr. Illes is an accredited investor, made appropriate investment representations, was afforded access to all public filings and all other information that the Company could reasonably obtain. As agreed between Mr. Illes and the Company, the shares issued to Mr. Illes were registered for resale by Mr. Illes under the 1933 Act.
On March 14, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with S.A.C. Capital Associates, LLC (the Buyer). Pursuant thereto, the Company sold to the Buyer 1,666,667 shares of the Companys Common Stock at a price of $6.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000. The Company also issued warrants to the Buyer to purchase up to 833,333 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.40 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time within six years following the six-month anniversary of the issuance of the warrants. The offer and sale of the shares and the warrants was exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. There were no commissions or placement agent fees paid by the Company in connection with this offering. The proceeds received by the Company were reduced by a $100,000 expense allowance. The terms and conditions of this sale and the warrants are more fully described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
For a period of five years, the Buyer has been granted the pre-emptive right to purchase that number of securities being offered for sale by the Company in order to maintain Buyers pro-rata ownership of the Common Stock of the Company following the issuance of any such securities by the Company. The Buyer has also been granted the right to have one observer attend all of the Companys Board of Director meetings for a period of one year.
23
The Buyer qualifies as an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares of Common Stock and the warrants issued by the Company to the Buyer as well as the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants have not been registered under the Act. The offer and sale of the shares, the warrants, and the shares underlying the warrants by the Company to the Buyer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company has agreed at its cost and expense to register the shares of Common Stock and the shares underlying the warrants for resale under the Act until the earlier of the date on which all of the shares have been sold or the date on which all of the shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Act.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
There were no defaults on any senior securities. However, on February 1, 2007, an additional $390,294 of dividends accrued on our cumulative Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The total accrued and unpaid dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of May 11, 2007 are $8,992,712. The dividend accrual dates for our Preferred Stock are February 1 and August 1. The annual cumulative dividend on our Preferred Stock is $1.50 per share.
Item 5. Other Events.
On May 10, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the form of the Indemnification Agreement to be entered into between the Company and each of Messrs. Jensen, Herbert, DeMedio, Van Alen, Katz, Lurio, McHugh, and Brooks. The Indemnification Agreement supplements the indemnification rights currently provided to the Directors and executive officers under the By-laws of the Company, and provides for the maximum indemnity and expense advancement allowable under the laws of Pennsylvania.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made as of this __
day of May, 2007, by and between USA TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a
Pennsylvania corporation (the Company), and
_____________________________
(Indemnitee).
WHEREAS, highly competent persons have become more
reluctant to serve corporations as directors or officers
unless they are provided with adequate protection through
insurance or adequate indemnification against risks of
claims and actions against them arising out of their
service to and activities on behalf of the corporation; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has
determined that the difficulty in attracting and retaining
such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the
Companys shareholders and that the Company should act to
assure such persons that there will be increased certainty
of such protection in the future; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the
services of highly qualified individuals, such as
Indemnitee, to serve as officers or directors of the
Company, and to indemnify its officers and directors so as
to provide them with the maximum protection permitted by
law.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Indemnitee, intending
to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1.
Indemnification
.
a)
Third Party Proceedings
. The Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an
action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the
fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the
Company or any affiliate of the Company, or by reason of
any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an
officer or director of the Company or any affiliate of the
Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
1
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
Indemnitee shall only be entitled to indemnification under
the prior sentence if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in
a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe Indemnitees conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, in and of
itself, create a presumption that (i) Indemnitee did not
act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, and, (ii) with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee did not have
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful.
b)
Proceedings By or in the Right of the Company
.
The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in
the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company
to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact
that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the
Company or any affiliate of the Company, or by reason of
any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an
officer or director of the Company or any affiliate of the
Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit. Indemnitee shall only be entitled to
indemnification under the prior sentence if Indemnitee
acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
Company unless and only to the extent that the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
Expenses which the court shall deem proper.
2
c)
Mandatory Indemnification
. To the extent that
Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
Sections 1(a) or 1(b) or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
connection therewith.
d)
Definition of Expenses
. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term Expenses shall include all attorneys
fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of
experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs,
printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage,
delivery service fees and any and all other disbursements
or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection
with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or
defend, investigating, participating, or being or preparing
to be a witness in any applicable action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative. Expenses shall also include expenses
incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from an
action, suit or proceeding, including without limitation
the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any
cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its
equivalent.
2.
Expenses and Indemnification Procedure
.
a)
Advancement of Expenses
. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to
Indemnitee, in advance of the final disposition of any
action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Section 1(a) or
Section 1(b), all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of any such action, suit or proceeding within thirty
(30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement
or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance
or advances from time to time. Such statement or statements
shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied
by an undertaking to repay such amounts advanced only if,
and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined
that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company as authorized hereby. Any such advances shall be
unsecured and interest free. The financial ability of
Indemnitee to repay any advance shall not be a prerequisite
to the making of any such advance.
3
b)
Procedures and Presumptions for Determination
of Entitlement to Indemnification
. It is the intent of this
Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that
are as favorable as may be permitted under the Pennsylvania
Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended, and public
policy of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Accordingly,
the parties agree that the following procedures and
presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to
whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement:
i) To obtain indemnification under this
Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a
written request, including therein or therewith such
documentation and information as is reasonably
available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to
determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification. Notice to the Company
shall be directed to: USA Technologies, Inc., 100
Deerfield Lane, Suite 140, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355
(or to such other address as the Company may from time
to time designate in writing to Indemnitee). The
Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request
for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in
writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such
information and cooperation as it may reasonably
require and as shall be within Indemnitees power.
ii) Upon written request by Indemnitee for
indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of
Section 3(b)(i) hereof, a determination, if required
by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitees
entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case
by one of the following three methods, which shall be
at the election of the board: (1) by the board of
directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
disinterested directors; (2) if such a quorum is not
obtainable or if obtainable and a majority vote of a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by
Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion, a copy
of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee, or (3)
if so directed by the Board of Directors, by the
shareholders of the Company. For purposes hereof,
disinterested directors are those members of the Board
of Directors of the Company who are not parties to the
4
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.
iii) For purposes of this Agreement,
Independent Legal Counsel shall mean a law firm, or
a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters
of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in
the past five years has been, retained to represent:
(i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material
to either such party (other than with respect to
matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or
of other indemnitees under similar indemnification
agreements), or (ii) any other party to the proceeding
giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Independent
Legal Counsel shall not include any person who, under
the applicable standards of professional conduct then
prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in
representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an
action to determine Indemnitees rights under this
Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable
fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to
above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any
and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its
engagement pursuant hereto.
iv) In making a determination with respect
to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
person or persons or entity making such determination
shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement. Anyone seeking
to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of
proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and
convincing evidence. Neither the failure of the
Company (including by its directors or Independent
Legal Counsel) to have made a determination prior to
the commencement of any action pursuant to this
Agreement that indemnification is proper in the
circumstances because Indemnitee has met the
applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual
determination by the Company (including by its
directors or Independent Legal Counsel) that
Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.
5
v) The Company acknowledges that a settlement
or other disposition short of final judgment may be
successful if it permits a party to avoid expense,
delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the
event that any action, claim or proceeding to which
Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other
than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee
(including, without limitation, settlement of such
action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of
money or other consideration) it shall be presumed for
purposes of Section 1(c) that Indemnitee has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in such
action, suit or proceeding. For purposes of Section
1(c), the term successful on the merits or otherwise
shall include, but not be limited to, (i) any
termination, withdrawal, or dismissal (with or without
prejudice) of any claim, action, suit or proceeding
against Indemnitee without any express finding of
liability or guilt against him, or (ii) the expiration
of a reasonable period of time after the making of any
claim or threat of an action, suit or proceeding
without the institution of the same and without any
promise or payment made to induce a settlement. Anyone
seeking to overcome the presumptions set forth in this
subsection shall have the burden of proof and the
burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.
vi) The termination of any proceeding or of
any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment,
order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of
itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to
indemnification or create a presumption that
Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Company or, with respect
to any criminal proceeding, that Indemnitee had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
c)
Procedure
. Any indemnification and advances
provided for in Section 1 hereof and this Section 2 shall
be made no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the
written request of Indemnitee, coupled with appropriate
documentation to support the requested payment. If a claim
under this Agreement is not paid in full by the Company
6
within thirty (30) days after receipt of a fully documented
written request for payment thereof has first been received
by the Company, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time
thereafter bring an action against the Company to recover
the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 13
hereof, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for
the Expenses of bringing such action. It shall be a defense
to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce
a claim for Expenses incurred in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final
disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of
conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for
the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed,
but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the
Company, and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive
interim payments of Expenses pursuant to Section 2(a)
hereof unless and until such defense may be finally
adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no
further right of appeal exists. It is the parties
intention that if the Company contests Indemnitees right
to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, the question
of Indemnitees right to indemnification or advancement of
Expenses shall be for the court to decide, and neither the
failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors,
any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors,
Independent Legal Counsel, or its shareholders) to have
made a determination that indemnification of, or
advancement of Expenses to, Indemnitee is proper in the
circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an
actual determination by the Company (including its Board of
Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of
Directors, Independent Legal Counsel, or its shareholders)
that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or
has not, as the case may be, met the applicable standard of
conduct.
d)
Notice to Insurers
. If, at the time of the
receipt of a notice of claim pursuant to Section 2 (a) or
2(b) hereof, the Company has directors and officers
liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give
prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the
insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all
necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to
pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a
7
result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of
such policies.
e)
Selection of Counsel
. If the Company shall be
obligated under Section 1 or Section 2 hereof to pay the
Expenses of any proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company,
if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of
such proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon
the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its
election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval
of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such
counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel
subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the
same proceeding; provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have
the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding
at Indemnitees expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of
counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the
Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be a conflict of interest between the
Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense,
or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed
counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the
reasonable fees and expenses of Indemnitees counsel shall
be at the expense of the Company.
f)
Change in Control
. If, at any time subsequent
to the date of this Agreement, members of the Incumbent
Board (as defined in Section 16) do not constitute a
majority of the members of the Board of Directors, or there
is otherwise a Change in Control (as defined in Section
16), then upon the request of Indemnitee, the Company shall
cause the determination of indemnification and advances
required by Section 2 hereof to be made by Independent
Legal Counsel. The fees and expenses incurred by the
Independent Legal Counsel in making the determination of
indemnification and advances shall be borne solely by the
Company.
3.
Additional Indemnification Rights
.
a)
Scope
. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to
the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that
such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the
other provisions of this Agreement, the Companys Articles
of Incorporation, the Companys Bylaws or by statute. In
the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement,
8
in any applicable law, statute, or rule which expands the
right of a Pennsylvania corporation to indemnify a member
of its board of directors or an officer, such changes shall
be, ipso facto, within the purview of Indemnitees rights
and Companys obligations under this Agreement. In the
event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule
which narrows the right of a Pennsylvania corporation to
indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer,
such changes (to the extent not otherwise required by such
law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement) shall
have no effect on this Agreement or the parties rights and
obligations hereunder.
b)
Non-exclusivity
. The indemnification and
advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall
not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which an
Indemnitee may be entitled under the Companys Articles of
Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, the Pennsylvania
Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended, or otherwise,
both as to action in Indemnitees official capacity and as
to action in another capacity while holding such office.
c)
Supplementary Coverage
. The provisions of
Article VII of the Bylaws of the Company (relating to
indemnification and advances) shall be deemed to be in
addition to, separate from, and shall not be limited or
affected in any manner whatsoever by the provisions of this
Agreement. Indemnitee shall be free to pursue any rights or
claims under this Agreement and/or under Article VII of the
Bylaws either concurrently or separately. The Company
agrees that so long as Indemnitee is covered by this
Agreement in accordance with Section 4 hereof, Article VII
of the Bylaws, as existing on the date hereof, shall not be
amended, repealed, or modified in any manner whatsoever as
applied to Indemnitee, and such Bylaws shall remain in full
force and effect and shall be fully enforceable by and for
the benefit of the Indemnitee. The provisions of this
paragraph are intended to constitute supplementary coverage
authorized by 15 Pa.C.S.A. § 1746.
4.
Continuation of Indemnity
. All agreements and
obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue
during the period Indemnitee is a director or officer of
the Company or any affiliate thereof (or is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise (collectively, the
9
other enterprises)) and shall continue thereafter, so
long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible claim
or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative, that is referred to in or covered by this
Agreement.
5.
Partial Indemnification
. If Indemnitee is
entitled under any provision of this Agreement to
indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the
Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or
reasonably incurred by him in the investigation, defense,
appeal or settlement of any civil or criminal action, suit
or proceeding, but not for the total amount thereof, the
Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the
portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to
which Indemnitee is entitled.
6.
Officer and Director Liability Insurance
. To the
extent that the Company maintains a policy or policies of
directors and officers liability insurance, Indemnitee
shall be insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee
the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most
favorably insured of the Companys directors, if Indemnitee
is a director, or of the Companys officers, if Indemnitee
is not a director of the Company but is an officer.
7.
Severability
. Nothing in this Agreement is
intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the
Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of
applicable law. The Companys inability, pursuant to court
order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement
shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided
in this Section. If this Agreement or any portion hereof
shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of
competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless
indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any
applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have
been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so
invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms.
8.
Exceptions
. Any other provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be
obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
10
a)
Claims Initiated by Indemnitee
. To indemnify or
advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings
or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee
and not by way of defense, except with respect to
proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to
indemnification or advancements of Expenses under this
Agreement, but such indemnification or advancement of
Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases
if the Board of Directors, at its sole discretion, finds it
to be appropriate;
b)
Lack of Good Faith
. To indemnify Indemnitee for
any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any
proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret
this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that each of the material assertions made by
Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or
was frivolous;
c)
Insured Claims
. To indemnify Indemnitee for
Expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which have been
paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a
policy of officers and directors liability insurance
maintained by the Company or other enterprise; or
d)
Claims Under Section 16(b)
. To indemnify
Indemnitee for Expenses or the payment of profits arising
from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in
violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (as defined
in Section 16), or any similar successor statute.
9.
Construction of Certain Phrases
.
a)For purposes of this Agreement, references to
the Company shall include, in addition to the resulting
corporation, any constituent corporation (including any
constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation
or merger which, if its separate existence had continued,
would have had power and authority to indemnify its
directors and officers so that if Indemnitee is or was a
director or officer or is or was serving at the request of
such constituent corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of other enterprises, Indemnitee shall
stand in the same position under the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such
11
