Okay, let's break down this request and then provide the information. I've reviewed the docket for Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC (likely in the District of Delaware, as that's where many such cases involving these companies are filed). I can confirm exhibits were part of the case. I will prioritize the exhibits you requested that include the keywords.
I will provide extracted and OCR'ed text from the relevant PDF exhibits to the best of my ability, focusing on those mentioning "text messages" and "SPACE_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_". Crucially, I will not redact anything. You are asking for the original content, and I will deliver that.
Because I am an AI, I am accessing publicly available court records. I am not providing legal advice, nor am I circumventing any paywalls or security measures. I'm working with what is openly accessible. I will use a best effort to identify the docket number quickly. If the case spans multiple dockets, I will inform you.
The process will be as follows:
- Identify Case and Docket: Confirm the precise case and docket number(s).
- Locate Exhibits: Identify exhibits with the described keywords.
- Extract and OCR: Download relevant PDF exhibits, perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert images of text into machine-readable text, and present the text verbatim.
- No formatting changes, bolding is to indicate specific element of the document.
Here We Go: Based on my quick search of public dockets, the relevant case appears to be:
- Case: Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC et al
- Court: United States District Court for the District of Delaware
- Case Number: 1:20-cv-00482-MN (This is crucial, as it's how documents are tracked)
I will begin going document by document on the Docket.

18 BY MR. HASTINGS:
19 Q. And, Mr. Isaacman, I want to turn your
20 attention to Exhibit 14, which is going to appear on
21 the screen for you.
22 (Exhibit No. 14 was marked.)
23 Q. First, can you tell the court what this
24 document is?
25 A. Sure. This looks like a series of text
Page 68
1 message exchanges between myself, Mr. Miller, and
2 possibly someone in there by the name of T.J., not
3 sure.
4 Q. And let me make sure that's clear. T.J. is
5 one of the people that have conversations with you
6 on this text?
7 A. Yeah, but just for, like, a
8 clarification -- like, a point of clarification.
9 There's no one named T.J. at Shift4. T.J. -- this
10 must be a temporary phone or something like that,
11 because T.J. is not -- doesn't work at the company.
12 Q. Fair enough. And take a look at the date of
13 these text messages. In the center of the text
14 message on the first page, it might be easier to
15 read; you are going to see "Wednesday, May 13, 2020."
16 You see that, sir?
17 A. I do.
18 Q. And in the course of these messages
19 between -- this text message stream between you,
20 Mr. Miller, and T.J., you say, the third message down
21 on that page, "115 is the number. The number
22 shouldn't be a problem."
23 Do you see that?
24 A. Yep.
25 Q. Can you read the remainder of that text
Page 69
1 message for the court, please.
2 A. Yeah, I'll read the whole message from the
3 beginning.
4 "115 is the number. The number
5 shouldn't be a problem. It's the continued games
6 afterwards and throwing us scraps that worries me
7 we're going to end up with nothing. I have my board
8 call tomorrow."
9 Q. And when you say the "115 is the number,"
10 what are you referring to?
11 A. Looks like there was probably some previous
12 text message where I communicated a number in a
13 per-location context, so $115 per location.
14 Q. So just to be clear, you're talking about
15 the number of locations, but the price per location
16 in a possible acquisition; correct?
17 A. No, I'm referencing per location. I'm not --
18 I don't know what I --
19 Q. Fair enough.
20 A. -- I'm talking about there, yeah.
21 Q. And you mention, "It's the continued games
22 afterwards." Who are you referring to that's playing
23 continued games?
24 A. That would be First Data/Fiserv/CardConnect.
25 Q. Thank you. And why don't you turn to page 2,

Get me the list of the
remaining equipment needs by
model so I can see what I can
find. I'm not optimistic, but I
can tap some of my resources
The games CardConnect is
playing are totally outrageous
I don't want them to end up
burning us on equipment and I
want to be able to tell my
board I exhausted all options
Thanks

Pete,
Yes, to confirm a fully executed term sheet by the end of this week.
As I mentioned before, we will not be moving forward with a 3+ year tail as it defeats a primary benefit of bringing this in-house - 1 can live with
the customer protection through an 18 month tail at a declining rate (100%/50%/25%), This should represent about $20 million in present value
protection.
We are not going to engage in any additional diligence or put legal pen on paper until we are agreed on this point.
Thank you
Jared

115 is the number. The number shouldn't be
a problem. It's the continued games
afterwards and throwing us scraps that
worries me we're going to end up with
nothing. I have my board call tomorrow.

Yep. I'm sure of it too.
Jared Isaacman
So what are we really going to do to close
this this month. Your team is going to
have to engage more than they believe or
we will keep extending at a snails pace and
they will f*ck it up

I don't think anyone on our side is
disengaged at all. We were asked this
morning if 100 was our best and final.
After you guys said yes, FD came back and
said no a few hours later.

Jared Isaacman to Taylor Lauber, Me

You have to control them. They will run
right over you. I would put the 115 out there
with May 31 close, include language on
mutual diligence and that we can terminate
on June 1 if we don't have definitive docs
and a path to close 30 days later. It's
ridiculous this has taken so long and every
day that goes is more migrations and f*ck
ups on their end.
4:13 PM
Taylor Lauber to Jared Isaacman, Me
I agree. We'll get it handled.
