Okay, let's break down this request and then I'll provide the information you're looking for from the Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC case, focusing on exhibits with text messages and the specific phrase you mentioned, and deliver the OCR output without redactions.

Background and Case Information

The case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC involved a contractual dispute between two payment processing companies. Card Connect alleged that Shift4 breached their agreement and engaged in unfair competition. The exhibits in this case are crucial because they provide direct evidence of the communications and actions of the parties involved.

Got it. Thanks.
The deck you circulated earlier today on this opportunity mentioned a 2015 DOJ investigation. Can you
provide some detail on that?
We are looking for ways to slow them down in a deal that is moving very, very quickly. As an FYI - Jared
attempted to get in touch with Frank L. last week:

Any detail/intel you can share with us on this front or in general on these guys would be helpful. They seem
to be moving forward as if we don't exist.

Yes. Understood. The only clarity | ask is that we are careful to get it right. The fact the DOJ did an
investigation a couple of years ago - that was mentioned in the deck circulated earlier today- could be a
good opportunity to slow them down a bit. | will leave that to you and Rush to sort thru.

Understood about the sensitivity. | get it.
On 3...it's a waste of time. Card Connect is not going to sign anything for Shift. Focus on Lighthouse.
Good luck. I'm out for a bit but will check in later.

Thanks

| have spoken to counsel and we should avoid all direct communications given the sensitivity of the
matter.
Counsel will discuss the matter with the sellers counsel.
In the meantime:

  1.  We received board approval subject to some modest confirmatory diligence to move forward at
     the original proposed economics. Our team now needs to complete their work and finalize our
     submission.
  2.  | believe we have finalized the fairness opinion
  3.  Shift4's counsel provided a draft of the NDA that the buyer signed.

Rush/Jeff,

Quick follow up on the below. Where do things stand with:

  1.  Card Connect/First Data approval of our offer on better terms than Shift 4. Jeff - Did First Data
     approve the offer?
  2.  The fairness opinion.
  3,  Have we gotten any draft documents from Shift 4 on what they would provide to Card Connect in
     exchange for signature on the releases?

I'm available if you want to discuss.

Best

Bob

Rush,
Further to our call yesterday...following up on the Shift 4 matter.
It is my understanding that we have been in discussions with FTV on a deal that would be more attractive
than what Shift 4 has agreed to pay for the releases from Card Connect.
Jeff/Brian/Angelo - Please confirm.
Rush, is there a way to contact FTV/Shift4's counsel to let them know we are willing to do a deal on better
terms? Seems like an easy call to make,
Let me know if you want to jump on a call later today.
Please keep this matter confidential.

Best

Subject: RE: Fwd: N&P follow up re Shift4

Pretty much everything in the deck needs to be cut. As mentioned, the deck implies we are in a financial position
where we need to sell assets, which we don't.

I would rename to Strategic Opportunities to Preserve Great Partner Relationships, Eliminate Unnecessary
Expenses and Fuel Future Innovation.

I think the entire company timeline could be removed.
The sections on customer concentration is dangerous and unnecessary.
The entire section on the toxic portfolio should be removed. It's self-inflicted pain.
I don't know about the Capital/Debt section.
The financial forecast 2017+ needs to be trashed and completely redone. It shows a company going out of
business.

I have to call into the 5pm now, so cant send revisions now.

Where are you?

We got some feedback they didn't like our NDA. Are you near a computer to update it
per the language below?

Also, you can put in the email to them the last paragraph below.

Subject: RE:

Jared,

Per our conversation, please see below. As mentioned, they would like to
exchange mutual releases and indemnifications in connection with the NDA.I
believe this related to the ongoing litigation, but wanted to flag for you.

Language for email:
As you know, we were previously in discussions with CardConnect to acquire
Micros from them and we believe that the conversations were progressing until
they abruptly went dark. Now, CardConnect is suing us in Delaware saying that
we misused confidential information that they provided to us during those
acquisition discussions, which is completely baseless. Given that CardConnect
has sued us saying that we misused the very limited confidential information that
they previously provided to us, we want to be very careful to document what
information is being exchanged here and to ensure we are getting the same
protections they are to avoid any potential for additional frivolous litigation.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Taylor
