SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND
RELEASE

           

          This
Separation Agreement and Release (“Agreement”), dated as of October 10, 2006, by
and between the parties hereto, Michael J. Dodak (“Employee”) and Global Axcess
Corp (“Employer” or “Company”).

           

          RECITALS

           

          On or
about June 25, 2004, the Company and the Employee entered into that certain
Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”).

           

          The
parties desire to terminate the Employment Agreement and otherwise resolve
amicably all issues arising out of the cessation of Employees’ employment, and
to memorialize their Agreement. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual
covenants and promises set forth below, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties expressly, knowingly and voluntarily agree as follows:

           

          AGREEMENTS

           

          1.  The
foregoing recitals are incorporated by reference and are acknowledged to be true
and correct.

           

          2.  In
exchange for the promises made by Employer contained in this Agreement, Employee
agrees as follows:

           

          a.  Employee's last day of
employment is established as Saturday, September 30, 2006 (the “Effective
Date”). On the Effective Date Employee shall cease being an employee, officer
and director of Employer.

           

          b.  Employee, for Employee
and Employee’s heirs, assigns, executors, successors, agents, attorneys and
representatives, and any person acting by, through, on behalf of, or under
Employee hereby covenants not to sue, and irrevocably and unconditionally
releases Employer, and all of its past, present and future directors,
shareholders, officers, agents, employees and current and former affiliated
parent and/or subsidiary business entities, (collectively “Releasees”), and each
of them, from any and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations,
promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits,
rights, demands, costs, losses, debts, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees
and costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown that
Employee ever had, or now has against the Releasees based on or arising out of
any financial obligations Employer owes to Employee by virtue of any agreement
between the parties therefor.

           

          c.  For a reasonable period
of time in connection with his separation from employment, Employee agrees to
cooperate with the Employer in connection with the transition of various
activities as reasonably requested by the Employer. Such activities shall
include, but will not be limited to, the transition of any and all of Employee’s
files (including both hardcopy and electronic information) to the Employer’s
CEO.

           

          
            
              
              

            

            
              
              

              
                

              

            

            
              
              

            

          

           

          d.  Employee warrants that
while in the employ of the Employer, Employee did not misrepresent the Employer
or deal with any third party in bad faith. Provided, however, that in the event
a third party makes any claim or assertion that Employee misrepresented the
Employer or dealt in bad faith, such claim or assertion shall not serve to
relieve Employer of its obligations under this Agreement. Employee further
warrants that Employee has not incurred any expenses or obligations or
liabilities on behalf of the Employer which have not been disclosed to the
Employer at the signing of this Agreement.

           

          e.  Employee recognizes that
he is deemed an “insider” of Employer and that such status shall continue until
90 days from the Effective Date (and thereafter if Employee gains access to
non-public information concerning Employer). During the ninety (90) days of
Employee’s insider status after the Effective Date, the Employee shall not trade
in Company Securities. During the next ninety (90) day period, the Employee
shall be permitted to sell up to 100,000 shares of Company securities. Provided,
however, that in the event the Employer fails to make any payment required under
this Agreement, the foregoing restrictions on Employee’s right to trade in
Company securities are void and of no force and effect. In the event Employee
trades in Company securities during such period, Employee shall file all SEC
forms applicable to any such trading activities.

           

          3.  Employee
agrees that during his employment with Employer, he had access to and was
exposed to the Employer’s, trade secrets (as that term is defined in Section
688.002(4) of the 2005 Florida Statutes) and confidential business and
professional information, including, but not limited to, Employer’s policies,
organization, management, marketing, finances, future plans, budgets,
strategies, promotional materials, pricing, profit margin, product development,
employee skills and compensation, customer or client lists and contacts, the
goodwill associated with the Employer’s customers or clients and other
confidential business information that does not qualify as trade secrets.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that the release of any such trade secrets or
confidential business or professional information will irreparably harm the
Employer and that the Employer’s trade secrets and confidential business and
professional information are legitimate business interests of the Employer. In
exchange for the Employer’s covenants and promises, and other good and valuable
consideration in this Agreement, Employee agrees to be subject to the following
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Disclosure provisions.

           

          a.  Employee agrees that for
sixty (60) months following his termination from employment, he will NOT,
anywhere in the world:

           

          (i)  directly or indirectly,
as either an owner, operator, agent, employee, independent contractor, investor,
advisor, consultant, partner, officer, director, shareholder or in any other
capacity, engage, participate or invest in a business which competes with the
Employer or its affiliated or related entities with the exception of Cash Axcess
Corporation (Proprietary) Limited (“CAC”) in which the Employer agrees to allow
Employee to provide consulting services to CAC until Employer has received all
monies due to Employer from the sale of Employer’s ownership in CAC to Coin
Security Group (Proprietary) Limited estimated to be in April 2007;
and/or

           

          
            
              
              

            

            
              
              

              
                

              

            

            
              
              

            

          

           

          (ii)  directly or indirectly
solicit, entice, encourage or induce any employee of the Employer or its
affiliated or related entities or any person, who at any time within one (1)
year prior to the termination of Employee’s employment shall have been an
employee of the Employer or its affiliated or related entities, to: (A)
terminate or negatively alter his or her relationship with the Employer; (B) to
become employed by or associated with any person or company other than Employer;
(C) solicit the business of any current or former client or customer of the
Employer (other than on behalf of the Employer); or (D) induce any former or
current supplier, vendor, consultant, or independent contractor of the Employer
to terminate or negatively alter his, her, or its relationship with the
Employer; and/or

           

          (iii)  directly or indirectly,
reveal, disclose, publish, use or direct or authorize another to reveal,
disclose, publish or use Employer’s or its affiliated or related entities’ trade
secrets or confidential business or professional information without the prior
written consent of Employer.

           

          (iv)  Nothing herein contained,
however, shall restrict Employee from overseeing personal and family
investments, including, without limitation, any investments in not more than
three percent (3%) of the voting securities in any business which competes with
the Employer or its affiliated or related entities whose stock is listed on a
national securities exchange or is actively traded on the NASDAQ so long as in
connection with such investments Employee does not render services, directly or
indirectly, to a business that competes with the Employer or its affiliated or
related entities. Additionally, nothing contained herein shall preclude the
Employee from selling and processing debit cards anywhere in the world, so long
as Employee does not serve as an officer, director, shareholder or consultant in
Electronic Payment and Transfer Corp., the Company’s former
subsidiary.

          


          b.  Employee agrees that all
records, files, data, documents and the like relating to the Employer shall be
and remain the sole property of the Employer. Upon termination of Employee’s
employment with Employer, Employee shall not remove from the Employer’s premises
or retain any of the materials described in this Section 3.b without the prior
written consent of the Employer, and such materials in Employee’s possession
shall be delivered promptly to the Employer.

           

          c.  Employee acknowledges
that the legitimate business interests of the Employer are of a special, unique
and extraordinary character, that the restrictions contained in this Section 3
are necessary to protect such legitimate business interests and that damages at
law would be an inadequate remedy. Employee agrees that the Employer shall have
the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction,
specific performance or other equitable relief, without the need to show actual
damages, without bond and that the rights and remedies of the Employer under
this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy which the Employer may have under any other agreement or by law. In the
event Employer successfully obtains a preliminary or temporary injunction
against Employee for any violation of this Section 3, the Employer shall be
relieved of any obligation to pay Employee the sums required under this
Agreement.

           

          
            
              
              

            

            
              
              

              
                

              

            

            
              
              

            

          

           

          d.   In the event that a court
of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this Section 3
is invalid or more restrictive than permitted under the governing law of such
jurisdiction, then only as to enforcement of this Section 3 within the
jurisdiction of such court, such provision shall be interpreted and enforced as
if it provided for the maximum restriction permitted under such governing
law.

          


          4.  Employee agrees to
provide, free of charge, up to twenty (20) hours per month of consulting and/or
advisory assistance to the Employer as requested by the Employer for a period of
six (6) months following the Effective Date. Such consulting and/or advisory
assistance may be performed by Employee at Employee’s place of
business.

           

          5.  The Employer agrees as
follows:

           

          a.  Contemporaneously
with the execution of this Agreement, Employer shall pay to Employee accrued
Paid Time Off (“PTO”) of $42,301.14
(less applicable withholdings, FICA, FUTA and other amounts customarily withheld
from employees of Employer) plus his regular bi-weekly payroll deposit for work
through September 30, 2006.

           

          b.  Employer will pay
Employee approximately 16 months of compensation over a 24 month period as
follows: commencing October 31, 2006 and on the last day of each of the
following 23 months thereafter (the “Payment Term”) the Employer shall pay
Employee the sum of $15,699.04 (the “Severance Payment”).

           

          c.  At such
time as the Company receives payment from Coin Security Group in connection with
the sale of the Company’s remaining ownership interest in Cash Axcess
Corporation, and the balance owed to Employee is equal to or greater than the
sum of $57,698.86, the Employer shall pay to Employee a lump sum in the amount
of $57,698.86, and the remaining balance of the Severance Payment due Employee
after such lump sum payment shall be paid to Employee in equal installments over
the remaining Payment Term. In the event the balance of the Severance Payment is
less than $57,698.86 at the time the foregoing payment is received from Coin
Security Group, then the balance of the Severance Payment shall be paid to
Employee in full with one lump sum payment. 

           

          d.  The
Severance Payment set forth in Section 5.b. may be prepaid at any time by
Employer in its sole discretion if Employer determines that it has the cash
resources to make such prepayment.

           

          e.  In the
event of a “Change in Control” of Employer the Employer’s assets, the entire
remaining balance of the Severance Payment owed to Employee shall be paid within
fifteen (15) business days after such event takes place. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean (A) any merger or consolidation of the
Employer with another entity, whether or not the Employer is the continuing or
surviving entity, that has been voted on and approved by a majority of the
Employer’s shareholders and in which a majority of the Employer’s voting capital
stock is transferred to holders different from persons or their affiliates who
held the stock immediately prior to such transaction or (B) any sale of all or
substantially all of the Employer’s assets to another entity or person that has
been voted on and approved by a majority of the Employer’s shareholders and of
which a majority of the capital stock is held by holders different from persons
or their affiliates who hold voting capital stock of the Employer.

           

          
            
              
              

            

            
              
              

              
                

              

            

            
              
              

            

          

           

          f.  If
Employer fails to make a payment when due pursuant to Section 5 a, b, c and e,
then upon written notification of such default from Employee to the Employer,
the Company shall have thirty (30) days to cure the default. If the Employer
does not cure the default within the 30-day period then the entire remaining
balance of the Severance Payment owed to Employee shall become due and
payable.

           

          g.  Employer
will pay for the reasonable attorneys’ fees of Employee to have an attorney of
his choice review the Employment Agreement. Such attorney will also be the same
attorney used by Mr. David Fann regarding Mr. Fann’s separation agreement and
release.

           

          h.  For those
expenses not previously reimbursed pursuant to Section 5a hereof, within ten
days of the Effective Date Employer will reimburse Employee for any remaining
customary business expenses incurred on behalf of, and subject to the sole
discretion of, Employer after submission of appropriate supporting
documentation.

           

          i.  Employer
will pay the lesser of: (i) $6,600 or (i) the maximum permitted by law in
matching dollars as per the Company’s 401K Plan for contributions made after the
Effective Date but before the end of 2006.

           

          j.  During
the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending March 31, 2008 Employer
will provide Employee with healthcare benefits for himself and his family to the
extent that that is permissible under its healthcare plans adopted for its
employees as a group; and to the extent that such provision is not permissible,
Employer will pay Employee a monthly dollar amount equal to the premium it would
otherwise pay on behalf of Employee. As of the Effective Date such medical
benefits premiums are estimated to be equal to approximately $786 per
month.

           

          k.  Employee
will be allowed to keep the following Company-owned assets: (i) laptop computer
used by Employee as of the Effective Date, (ii) mobile phone used by Employee as
of the Effective Date, (iii) pictures displayed at the Employer’s corporate
office at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida that were taken by Employee. Employee
agrees to provide Employer with an electronic copy of all Employer files from
the Employee’s laptop computer and subsequently remove said files from the
laptop computer.

           

          6.  The parties agree that
this Agreement is undertaken with mutual respect and in the best interest of
both parties. The parties agree that this Agreement shall not constitute and
shall not be construed as an admission of liability or wrongdoing by either
party.

           

          7.  Either party’s failure to
enforce any provision(s) of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as
a waiver of that provision(s) or prevent that party thereafter from enforcing
each and every provision of this Agreement.

           

          8.  If any of the provisions
contained in any paragraph herein are found null, void, or inoperative, for any
reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and
effect.

           

          
            
              
              

            

            
              
              

              
                

              

            

            
              
              

            

          

           

          9.  The parties agree that
they will not make any untruthful oral or written statement or take any other
action which disparages or criticizes the other party hereto, or Employer’s or
its affiliated or related entities’ administration, employees, management,
officers, shareholders or directors. The parties agree that in response to any
third party inquiries that the parties may state such separation was on friendly
terms. In the event any press release is issued relating to Employee’s
termination of employment with Employer, the parties shall mutually agree and
approve the language of such release.

           

          10.  Employee and Employer
acknowledge that they have read each of the sections herein and fully understand
the terms, nature, and effect of this Agreement, which they voluntarily execute
in good faith and deem to be a fair and equitable settlement of this
matter.

           

          11.  Except as otherwise
provided in Section 5g, Employer and Employee will each bear their own costs and
expenses incurred in the preparation, review and execution of this
Agreement.

           

          12.  This Agreement supersedes
any prior agreement or understanding between the parties, written or oral, and
constitutes a complete resolution of all claims by Employee against Releasees.
There may be no modification of this Agreement except in writing signed by the
parties. The Employment Agreement and any other
employment agreements and/or
modifications or amendments thereto are hereby
deemed terminated and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything else in this
Agreement to the contrary, in the event the non-competition and non-solicitation
agreements contained in Section 3 of this Agreement are determined to be
unenforceable, the non-competition and non-solicitation obligations in the
Employment Agreement shall also continue in full force and effect. Moreover,
Employee agrees that Employee has the obligation to and will maintain and
protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information (as defined in said
Employment Agreement) following the date of this Agreement. Under no
circumstances and at no time shall Employee, directly or indirectly, disclose,
divulge, render or offer any knowledge or information with respect to any
Confidential Information. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the unauthorized
use or disclosure of any of Employer's Confidential Information, obtained by
Employee during the course of employment with Employer constitutes unfair
competition. Employee therefore promises and agrees not to engage in any unfair
competition with Employer after separation from employment.

           

          13.  All notices, consents and
other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when (a) delivered by hand, (b) sent by
telex or telecopier (with receipt confirmed), provided that a copy is mailed by
registered mail, return receipt requested, or (c) when received by the
addressee, if sent by Express Mail, Federal Express or other express delivery
service (receipt requested), in each case to the appropriate addresses and
telecopier numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses and telecopier
numbers as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

          14.  This Agreement may be
filed as a material agreement with appropriate regulatory authorities. Any press
release relating to this Agreement or the termination of Employee shall be
furnished to Employee for his review and approval prior to its release to the
public.

           

          15.  Employee agrees to
cooperate with Employer in a reasonable way with respect to matters arising
prior to or subsequent to the signing of this Agreement with respect to which
Employee had some involvement or knowledge prior to the Effective Date, it being
agreed that any cooperation or consultation shall not unreasonably interfere
with Employee’s subsequent employment, if any.

           

          16.  Employee agrees that all
correspondence, drawings, reports, ideas, manuals, letters, data, notes,
analyses, sales information, personnel information, notebooks, reports, charts,
programs, proposals, legal agreements, files, memoranda, records, and any other
documents concerning the Employer’s customers or products or processes, whether
or not prepared by and in the course of employment, alone or in conjunction with
others, together with any credit cards and other physical and personal property
which Employee received from the Employer or which Employee generated in
connection with his employment by the Employer, which are in Employee’s
possession, custody or control, are the sole property of the Employer. Employee
further warrants that he has turned over, or shall promptly return to the
Employer, any such documents or property in his possession, custody or
control.

           

          17.  Nothing in this Agreement
shall be interpreted as depriving Employee of the protections he is entitled to
under Employer’s insurance policies including, but not limited to, its D&O
insurance policy and pursuant to Employer’s Articles of Incorporation and
By-Laws that were in effect on the Effective Date, it being agreed that such
protection shall remain in effect hereafter for the benefit of Employee to the
same extent as other officers and/or directors of Employer.

           

          18.  Employee acknowledges
that any of Employer’s and/or its affiliates’ or related entities’ business
opportunities which were identified by, known by, or otherwise created by
