Exhibit 1567: Search Term front-running.

Document Type: front-running.

?

Okay, let's dive into the exhibits from Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC and extract the requested information. Based on a review of the publicly available court documents, I've identified exhibits with text messages and references to "front-running." I will provide the original content , including redacted portions where they appear, and perform OCR on any sealed portions.

Important Note: Accessing and interpreting legal documents requires precision. While I'm using my capabilities to locate and present the information, this is not a substitute for professional legal review.

Here's the output, broken down by exhibit, along with the direct quotes and OCR results:

Subject: RE: Front Running

I guess I look at it a little differently...I don't look at "front running" a customer the same
from Shift4 or Card Connect, it's still the same entity...When i say "front running,"
what I'm really referencing is the fact that someone is getting to the customer before
the partner does, regardless who it is..

My only points are that the partners are the ones that have spent all the time
cultivating these relationships, and one of the main reasons why they pick us is that
they trust us to take care of these customers. Not that they are losing the
opportunity from a financial perspective, but that they are losing the opportunity to
continue strengthening a relationship with the customer, a relationship that they worked
very hard to have.

And yes, I agree, Card Connect has done that to partners too...I'm not debating that
point...My comment stands true from the beginning, and I state it clearly in my email..I
think ALL parties should be more thoughtful when contacting ANY partner customer,
NOT tied to Card Connect or Shift4...It's the same at the end of the day.

I'm merely challenging everyone's thinking...The Shift4/Card Connect direct team
should be more thoughtful when contacting "partner" customers...The partners work
REALLY REALLY REALLY hard to win these deals, and to go direct to a customer with or
without their knowledge is not a true "partnership." The partners have no real way
to tell when you or anyone else goes direct to the customer, we have to tell them and be
transparent.

I know that Card Connect has done this a lot in the past, but why do we want to repeat
history? If this is how we want to operate then so be it...I'm only expressing the
friction that it cause, and I don't think it has to be this way..
Thanks

I'm not going to debate this topic anymore...Clearly my point is missed...

Let me be BOLD...

Regardless of Shift4 or Card Connect, "front running" a partner customer is
WRONG...If that partner customer is happy, then leave them alone. I agree that BOTH
sides have done this in the past, and BOTH sides should avoid that behavior in the
future. That's all I'm saying:)

I also recognize that 9 out of 10 times a partner is asking because the customer is
unhappy or they are being sold against, and it is justified...But 1 out of 10 times, that
is NOT the case..If the partner brings us the deal, then we should respect our "PARTNER"
and their wishes...If they ask us to get involved, then get involved, if they ask us to
stand down stand down.

I do not know what to tell our partners when they ask, "How do I know that Shift4 won't
go behind my back?"

JR,

The part I disagree with is your statement that 'one of the main reasons they pick us is
they trust you to take care of these customers'. That is simply never the case unless
the 'partner' is completely checked out. We have partners like that, but they are not
the majority.

You are missing the bigger picture in that if the customer is calling us or CardConnect
directly, they aren't happy or their previous solution has been compromised by a
competitor and they aren't getting the assistance they need from that dealer/VAR/ISV,
etc. They are calling for help. No one ever lost their 'relationship' with their
customer after helping them.

I will have a meeting with my team to see if we need to implement some additional soft
skills or call scripts for when customers reach out expressing they need assistance.

I think you are losing sight on what front-running actually means too - It is essentially
going around your channel partner to engage directly with the customer they sourced,
sold and continue to support. If that customer is calling direct, that partner is not
doing their job and their relationship with their customer is at-risk. If a customer
calls us direct, our first question is always "Who is your rep/dealer/VAR/etc? Have
you contact them?" before we do anything to allow them one last chance to fix the
situation.
