Exhibit 614: Search Term MASON_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_

Document Type: MASON_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_

?

Okay, let's break down this request and then I'll provide the information you're looking for from the case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. I'll focus on finding exhibits, specifically those containing text messages and those with filenames starting with "MASON_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_", especially PDFs. I will then perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on the PDFs to extract the text without any redactions.

Background and Case Context (Important for Finding Documents)

First, it's crucial to understand how court documents are typically accessed. Most federal court cases in the US are filed and tracked through the PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) system. PACER is a paid service, and I, as an AI, do not have a PACER account and cannot directly access those records.

However, some documents, especially those cited in opinions or motions, become publicly available through other legal research databases (like Westlaw, LexisNexis, or free services like CourtListener) or are sometimes posted online by parties involved in the case or by news organizations.

My Approach

  1. Identify the Court and Case Number: To search effectively, I needed the specific court and full case number. I performed a search and found that this case is likely:

    • Case: Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC, et al.
    • Court: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
    • Case Number: 2:18-cv-02728-MAK
  2. Search on Court Listener and other dockets: Using advanced search operators, I searched for publicly available documents related to this case number, focusing on the keywords "exhibit," "text message," and "MASON_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_".

  3. Identify Relevant Exhibits: I looked for docket entries that described exhibits, paying close attention to descriptions that matched your criteria.

  4. OCR and Text Extraction: For any identified PDFs, I will use OCR to extract the text and present it to you verbatim.

Results of My Search and OCR Processing

Based on my search, I located several relevant documents on CourtListener. These included declarations, and mentioned.

I think we should go the other way on it. Pay 50% of all residual buyouts, but they can't
move until 2020. . Give them a 3 year extension to the current deal, but no auto
renewal.

Agreed, don't think in principle we are far apart. We will have to refine exactly what
they can and can't do, what we will do, and what the penalties are. The terms you
outlined below wouldn't work because they tie us together forever.

Yea I just said auto renewal is gone and we don't want them to move. After all the residual
buyouts are with existing merchants.

Also we don't really want them to 'move.' I mean if they stay and agree to

Ya. He confirmed they haven't been able to move any merchants. It's very unlikely
that they would agree to it.

 Spoke w Sam
- Per Sam, CC/FDC has had "senior management/legal meetings" about how best to
address this, and they do plan to get back to us, but it sounds like it may not be in our
requested timeframe (tomorrow am).
- I offered that an "olive branch" of a short extension to the current deadline (as you suggested
last week, 2-3 weeks) might be the ticket to buy us some goodwill and time to discuss
options amicably. Per Sam, CC appreciates that offer very much.
- Separately, he confirmed that this is a merchant they absolutely want to retain, that they do
not want to give to TSYS. It is one of their top 5 merchants.

Yup

I want to send them another termination
letter, so they are clear we are going our
separate ways
Can we send something like the
attached.. .the 2017 4th quarter mailer
that went to all prospective customers.
This is evidence of direct marketing

I think we should say that although we
are being more than reasonable in only
identifying 8 incidents of merchant
breaches in the fast few months for
which we have evidence ...and only ask
for $20k each...we have reason to believe,
based on the scale of the program,
hundreds of merchants may have been
solicited .
We should be asking for the $8.6m.
Also, remind them that the contract
expires next year and we won't be
renewing.

7:56 PM

7:57 PM.

7:58 PM

7:58 PM
Sure, I can do that.
7:58 PM โœ“โœ“
And I wouldn't do the 8 x 20k...I would just
say evidence of 8 and reserve our rights 7:58 PM โœ“
to claim against more when we have proof
Ok. Will you call Adam and tell him that?
Call me when done.
Can you tell me when I can expect to see it. 7:59 PM

I'm free all afternoon and evening whatever
works best for you

1:03 PM

I know you were drafting something to
Card Connect. Did you ever get to
finish/send it?

1:04 PM
I have a conf call at 1:30, can do
afterwards
1 :20 PM /
Ok.
1:21 PM//

Yes. Sent a while ago.
3:30 PM//
Do you remember what it said? I
remember it going out certified mail or
something like that

3:31 PM

Basically summarized our position that they 3:31 PM //
breached. I have hard copy at home

Jared Isaacman to J.R. Resnick, 11/16/17
Ok. Thanks.
3:32 PM

Also, I'm going to be calling Chuck
Linstamer soon. I feel it's important to
continue to reinforce that we are going
our separate ways.
Do you think I should mention to him
that you sent a letter out a few weeks
ago summarizing some of their
breaches? Is it better if I do not?

3:32 PM

3:34 PM

My concern is that it will surprise him.
He will convey that to Angelo and
CardConnect. If they go back and look
at the certified mail log and don't see it
there, then it looks bad on us. Make
sense?

3:35 PM

I think I'm general u should tell him we sent
a letter a few weeks ago summarizing our 3:36 PM โœ“โœ“

Got it. Will do.

I'm sending this to you so that I can
accurately convey this to Chuck
Linstraumer.

8:57 PM

I've been calling him a bunch and I believe 8:57 PM
we are both playing phone tag

What's the main point you want to convey? 8:59 PM โœ“

That due to the merchant breaches and
their refusal to provide a 3rd party
solution, we sent them a termination
notice back in November valid as of
May 1st (today). We believe we are no
longer obligated to support their
merchants for payment processing or
anything else.

9:01 PM

Also, a number of gateway merchants
have contacted us (without solicitation)9:02 PM
to migrate to Shift4 to avoid a forced
migration to authorize.net, which we are
supportive of.

Got it. I'll call him.

I spoke to chuck just now. I first went
through the whole "I respect you/Angelo",
etc. I told him that I felt it was necessary
to make sure we were communicating
since we had not in a while. As such, I
informed him we sent a termination letter
last November due to their breaches,
which makes us feel we now have no
obligation to support their merchants. I
said we are being forced to move their ~2k
merchants to the gateway product that is
powered by authorize.net as a result of
the acquisition. I told him that if this
transition is going to create problems for
them, they can go back to that
termination letter and correct the
breaches at which time we would provide
them additional time.

9:27 PM

9:28 PM

9:28 PM

He seemed overwhelmed and surprised 9:29 PM

He said CardConnect has 30 days from
written notice to address any breach.
9:29 PM โœ“/
He said this all goes back to Hotels.com 9:29 PM โœ“
and that Hotels.com has nothing to do
with the breaches.

9:30 PM

Page 2 (000120)

Jared Isaacman to J.R. Resnick, 5/2/18, Page 2
I told him that the breaches at issue in the
termination letter had nothing to do with
Hotels.com. I said Hotels.com was a
separate issue and that they had put
themselves at risk and didn't even
bother letting us know even after we
told them it was a problem. I mentioned
that we only became aware of it from a
leaked email from First Data to
Hotels.com. He was quiet after that.

9:30 PM

9:30 PM

I then told him that we would be happy to
put together a list of breaches,
independent of h.com, that they can try
to address

9:31 PM

I then said that a number of CardConnect 9:31 PM
merchants, in anticipation of this
migration, have already contacted us to
move over to Shift4 and avoid a forced
conversion
He said that they would rather not see the
merchants move anywhere and he said all
the right things in terms of "we recognize
these are our errors that we need to
address with you." He closed with "how
do we fix this."
