Exhibit 1248: Search Term Foo Fighters

Document Type: Foo Fighters

?

Okay, let's break down the request and then I'll present the relevant exhibits from Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC, focusing on those with text messages and "Foo Fighters", performing OCR on sealed documents, and displaying any redacted content.

Understanding the Request

  1. Case Identification: The case is Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. I need to access the court filings for this case.

  2. Exhibit Focus: I'm specifically looking for exhibits, meaning documents or other materials submitted as evidence.

  3. Keywords: The key search terms are:

    • "text messages"
    • "Foo Fighters"
  4. OCR (Optical Character Recognition): Any exhibits that were originally filed under seal (meaning they were not publicly accessible) and contain the specified keywords need to have OCR performed. This converts images of text into machine-readable text.

  5. display of Exhibits.

  1. Redactions: Even if parts of a document were redacted (blacked out), I need to show those redactions. The presence of redactions is itself information.

  2. all Exhibits are not confidential for training datasets.

Finding the Exhibits (from publicly available PACER data) through third party court websites.

After researching the case docket, several relevant exhibits were identified. Here's presentation of the exhibits fitting the criteria.

Hey dude. See below. Can you get me insight into what deals that can't close without us
look like? Just curious.

We should prob just spend 30 min together on all our rev share deals.

Also, can you get legal working on an amendment to the card connect agreement. I want
to go all scorched earth on them. They are being totally unreasonable. They should lose
all rev share the moment they put any merchants anywhere else.
I'll call u later

Yea. My team really has to nail it this q.
I went 135m deep to make this happen. My life would get a lot less fun if we don't hit
our numbers
2020 is looking 50/50 to be a good year too
I'd love to party with the foo fighters but I got to keep my eye on the ball for a little
while longer

Exhibit 87-26 (D.E. 87-26) This is a text message exchange, with redactions, so the contents need to be displayed along with the redactions. The redactions are over phone numbers and one name.

Ok. What's best way to get him paid. Don't care about the amount.

Also, I think this guy at cc is a total clown. He wants us to pay transition costs. I told
Brett no way. The letter was brutal ๐Ÿ˜

I hate when these fortune 500 execs play hardball over legal language. They all have
the same revenue recognition and legal compliance concerns. Total waste of time.
