     1  EMV processing fees?
     2            MR. YOUNG: Objection.
     3            THE WITNESS: Yes.
     4      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
     5      Q.    When did that take place?
     6      A.    In December of 2016, I believe that took
     7  place in person and over the phone.
     8      Q.    And who communicated that to you?
     9      A.    J.D. Oder.
    10      Q.    Anybody else?

    17      Q.    Okay. And where were you?
    18      A.    When he told me that? I believe when he
    19  told me that I was at the Shift4 offices. I believe
    20  there was additional phone calls, as well.
    21      Q.    And when you say "the Shift4 offices," are
    22  you talking about the ones in Vegas?

Page 97

    1            MR. YOUNG: Note my objection.
     2            THE WITNESS: He indicated that they would
     3  not be paying on that revenue because it was not part
     4  of the agreement, the original agreement, which it
     5  was.
     6      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
     7      Q.    Did he provide any detail as to why?
     8      A.    Because they didn't want to.
     9      Q.    Okay. Did he say those exact words, "we
    10  don't want to"?
    11            MR. YOUNG: Objection.
    12            THE WITNESS: I don't recall his exact
    13  words, but his response, in essence, was we don't want
    14  to, we're not going to.
    15      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
    16      Q.    Did he use profanity?
    17      A.    I don't recall.
    18      Q.    Okay. What was your response to that?
    19      A.    I'm sorry?
    20      Q.    What did you say upon him communicating that
    21  to you?
    22      A.    I indicated that that was not the
    23  agreement, that they were required to pay that
    24  revenue.
    25      Q.    And what was his response to that?

Page 98

     1  A.  We're not paying it.
     2      Q.  Okay. And what was your response to that?
     3  A.  I disagreed.
     4      Q.  Did you tell him -- other than that you
     5  disagreed, did you tell him anything else?
     6  A.  I don't know. I'm sure I said a lot of things.
     7      Q.  Okay. Did you explain to him why you
     8  believed it was -- they were required to pay you
     9  commissions on that?
    10            MR. YOUNG: Objection.
    11            THE WITNESS: Yes.
    12      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
    13      Q.  What did you tell him?
    14  A.  That it was residual revenue.
    15      Q.  Okay. And what did he say in response?
    16  A.  We're not paying it.
    17      Q.  Did anybody else other than J.D. participate
    18  in that meeting?
    19            MR. YOUNG: Objection.
    20            THE WITNESS: No.
    21      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
    22      Q.  Did that conversation take place anywhere
    23  other than at Shift4's offices?
    24  A.  I don't recall.

Page 99

    1  J.D. regarding that issue?

     3      Q.  Where did that conversation take place?
     4            MR. YOUNG: Objection.
     5            THE WITNESS: I had had conversations with
     6  J.D. prior to that, and after that, regarding that
     7  revenue.
     8      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
     9      Q.  Okay. Take me through the conversations prior
    10  to that.
    11      A.  Prior to that, I was inquiring about when and
    12  if they were going to be paying that revenue.
    13      Q.  Okay.
    14      A.  And he gave me an indication throughout the
    15  year that they would pay it. And then in December, he
    16  indicated they weren't going to pay it.
    17      Q.  All Right. Go back. Take me through the
    18  conversations that you remember having with him prior
    19  to that discussion in December of 2016.
    20            MR. YOUNG: Objection.
    21            THE WITNESS: One particular time I recall
    22  talking to him about it in Las Vegas --
    23      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
    24      Q.  Okay.
    25      A.  -- at their offices, he said they were going

Page 100

    1  to pay it, they had to figure out how much and when,
     2  but they were going to pay it. And then he told me
     3  that he had talked to his attorney about the residual
     4  revenue, and his attorney, on numerous occasions, and
     5  his attorney told him that they were going to -- or,
     6  that he should pay it, and he didn't disagree with
     7  paying it.
     8      Q.    Okay. And the attorney that you're
     9  referring to is who?
    10      A.    His attorney.
    11      Q.    Okay. Was there a name associated with that?
    12      A.    I don't know his attorney's name.
    13      Q.    Okay.
    14      A.    But --
    15      Q.    Did he ever tell you his attorney's name?
    16      A.    I don't believe so.
    17      Q.    But he indicated to you that that's what his
    18  attorney had advised him?
    19      A.    He told me he had talked to his attorney,
    20  and that his attorney, on numerous occasions, told
    21  him, yes, he should pay it.
    22      Q.    Okay. What did he say in response to his
    23  attorney?
    24      A.    I don't know what he said, but he was still
    25  debating on it at the time.

Page 101

     1      Q.  Okay. Did he ever tell you he disagreed with
     2  the attorney?
     3  A.  No.
     4      Q.  When was this conversation that you had with
     5  him in Las Vegas in Shift4's offices?
     6            MR. YOUNG: Objection.
     7            THE WITNESS: That was probably in the
     8  middle of 2016.
     9      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
    10      Q.  Okay.
    11      A.  Throughout 2016.
    12      Q.  How many conversations during 2016 do you
    13  recall having with him about the issue of paying
    14  commissions on the EMV processing fees?
    15            MR. YOUNG: Objection.
    16            THE WITNESS: Numerous.
    17      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
    18      Q.  Okay.
    19      A.  Over the phone, in person.
    20      Q.  Any other locations other than his office?
    21  A.  Over the phone, and I believe at a trade show.
    22      Q.  Okay. Do you remember which trade show that
    23  was?
    24      A.  Might have been ETA.
    25      Q.  And where is that?

Page 102

    1  A.  That's in Las Vegas.
     2      Q.  So ETA in Las Vegas?
     3  A.  Yes.
     4      Q.  And who was present for that conversation?
     5  A.  J.D. and myself.
     6      Q.  And was J.D. Oder, Jr. present?
     7  A.  No.
     8      Q.  And what was discussed at that ETA trade
     9  show?
    10            MR. YOUNG: Objection.
    11            THE WITNESS: Similar conversations as the
    12  other ones.
    13      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
    14      Q.  Okay. So he -- J.D. indicated to you that he
    15  wasn't refusing to pay it, but he wasn't indicating
    16  when they would be paying it; is that fair to say?
    17            MR. YOUNG: Note my objection.
    18            THE WITNESS: Yes.
    19      BY MR. MCDONNELL:
    20      Q.  Okay. And where were those -- again, where
    21  were those conversations held other than Las Vegas?
    22  A.  Over the phone.
    23      Q.  Okay. And was anyone else on those phone
    24  calls?
    25  A.  Not that I recall.
