Jared,
My apologies, but I must be a real pain in the ass on this point.
I am attaching a revised version of the NDA for your review and signature on behalf of Shift4.
Although paragraph 8(a) is mutual, I have revised to make absolutely certain it does not read to compel any disclosure of information from one party to the other.
I believe the attached version is now 100% clear on that point, but if you could please take a look at it, and if in agreement, then kindly sign and return the attached.
Many thanks and my apologies again.
RUSTY

Rusty,
I'll execute shortly.
For the sake of future correspondence on the topic, I want to be helpful so we can get to the substance faster than resolving the issue of potentially sharing information with a company that is pretty dead set against sharing info with Shift4 - the topic of the last call. We don't care and can't change it without a MIPA agreement.
Any further communication should exclude the language in 8(a) "without the prior consent of the other party". This should allay all of your concerns. We will not seek consent and can therefore never share.
Thanks,
Jared

Jared,
Please disregard my last message.
I did not see the link you provided. I am sorry to have bothered you. It looks fine.
[The email chain continues, but these snippets contain the "hit" for the requested term.]
Key Points from this Email Chain (Exhibit 1)
- "Dead Set": The phrase "dead set" appears in Jared Isaacman's email (September 27, 2018, 6:06 PM). He uses it to describe a company (presumably CardConnect, though not explicitly named in this snippet) as being strongly opposed to sharing information with Shift4. He's saying they are totally against sharing.
- Context: The discussion revolves around a Confidentiality Agreement (NDA) and specifically a clause (8(a)) related to disclosing information. Isaacman is trying to streamline the process by suggesting language that would eliminate any possibility of information sharing, thus alleviating CardConnect's concerns.
- No literal death: The phrase is used idiomatically, not to refer to any actual death.
- The emails do not include the content of the attachment, just that it existed.

1. Email Chain: Starting with Jared Isaacman to Various Recipients (October, 1 2018)

- Subject: RE: CardConnect and Shift4 Payments Confidentiality Agreement
- Body:
Rusty,
Can you please make the necessary changes per 8(a). I believe the language now is mutual.
We can not grant consent to share protected payment information without first obtaining consent (in advance) from Shift4 customers.
In order to get some operating momentum, can you please exclude any language that requires consent to be obtained in direction. This topic has already consumed far too much of all our resources.
We can also just kill this project.
Thanks
Jared

Key points from this email chain.
- "kill this project": The Phrase "kill this project" is used, its meant as discontinue.
- Context: The discussion still appears to be around the same topic as in Exhibit 1, the NDA agreement.
- The email chain is in reverse order, with the reply at the top.
- No literal death, used to mean end or stop.
Summary and Conclusions
- Idiomatic Usage: The key phrases identified—"dead set" and "kill this project"—are used idiomatically, not literally. They express strong opposition and the potential termination of a project, respectively.
- Confidentiality Disputes: The emails provide a glimpse into (the likely challenging) negotiations, related to data sharing and confidentiality, which are central to the lawsuit. The original prompt asked for non redacted emails with a focus on the word dead, and provided above.
