Exhibit 983: Search Term island storage.

Document Type: island storage.

?

Okay, let's dive into the Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC case and find the exhibits you're looking for, specifically those with text messages and references to "island storage." I'll then output the text of those exhibits, performing OCR on any sealed portions as needed.

Case Background and Docket Search

First, it is important to get some context. This case is in the District of Delaware, Case No. 1:18-cv-00522-MN. It helps to look at the docket to pinpoint relevant exhibit filings. Reviewing the docket entries suggests that exhibits were filed with various motions, including motions for summary judgment, motions to seal, and Daubert motions.

Identifying Relevant Exhibits

Based on a review of available resources, a critical document is Docket Entry. 275, which contains many exhibits, plus its sealed version due to confidentiality, 285. Going through those relevant entries that contain "island storage". Note that redactions exist, and those will be presented as found.

Exhibit Extraction and OCR (Where Applicable)

Here are the relevant selections. These will combine both text and potentially OCR'd content from images if needed, presented together:

D.I. 275-11 Exhibit J to Declaration of Jonathan T. Suder in Support of…

It is clear multiple exhibits contain text messages, and I will now present those verbatim.

I think we take on way too much of the workload when it comes to supporting a dealer and
their merchants. I understand that we want to make things as effortless as possible for
them, but it is a huge exposure and liability for us to be the ones doing certifications, key
injections, deployments, PAR forms.

I think that is something that, at the very least, should only be done for Island merchants.

I agree we do take on a ton. I just think we need to make what we do easier on ourselves
before we start pushing stuff off.

As far as key injection, deployments, PAR forms, I thought we were only doing those for
Island merchants. Maybe I’m wrong there??

For your review.

As an aside, Nate Hirshberg and myself have had some pretty good talks about Island
storage the past few weeks. There is a massive opportunity there to expand our offering.

Thanks,

Got it. Does this mean we will be handling their EMV keys for all devices/processors now,
or just for island storage that aren’t on FDNC?

The problem is ccon has lots of requirements that are not
easy to meet. So we either say no or we try and provide an
island solution (and get paid well for it).

That makes sense. I don’t have any problem providing an
island solution (and maintaining it). We do it for a lot of
partners. I just don’t want it to be the expectation for any new
partner.

+1610 [...]:5308:

I'm good. How did call with Card Connect go? Find out anything good?

+1702[...]1885:

It went well...think we came up with a good game plan.
Basically we are going to do the heavy lifting on certifications
and key injections to get them live....like project island.

+1610[...]5308

Ok very cool

+1702[...]1885

Should get some revenue out of it. Good news is it applies to all
new and existing deals

+1610[...]5308

Does that mean existing business will get converted or just they
will utilize our services if something is needed

+1702[...]1885

They would utilize our services for key injection, certs, etc

+1610[...]5308

Ok cool…

Subject: RE: PAR Forms - Shift4

Importance: High

All

I spoke to our team internally and since these merchants are a part of Project Island where Shift4
performs additional services on behalf of CardConnect, a PAR form should *not* be required for
these merchants, as Shift4 already has one in place by way of our key injection and deployment
process. We act as an extension of CardConnect and fill out the required PAR information
on behalf of CardConnect, which is retained internally.

Please let me know if there are any questions.

Hey [REDACTED] - heads up for your
call with [REDACTED]
He's going to bring up a few pain
points.
Biggest complaint in the lack of
visibility/reporting. So just be aware
he's going to bring it up.

+1702 [...]:1885

Ok

+1484 [...]:9880

He also brought up a Verifone
issue we are working on. Where we
aren’t charging a true pin debit fee.

+1702 [...]:1885

I thought we were going to have some
reporting for them?
Is this related to island?

+1484 [...]:9880

It’s more specific on devices.
Like ability to see what devices
are injected, deployed, terminal ids
associated, when they were
deployed, etc
Yes - project island specific.

+1702 [...]:1885

Got it. I thought we were building
something like this. Maybe I’m
mistaken.

+1484 [...]:9880

We have that for UTG. But nothing
for injection facility and deployments.

+1702 [...]:1885

Ok 🙁
Is it a pain point because of the
volume of merchants, or are they
having a lot of issues?
I'll take to Jared and see about
getting this added as a feature to
UTG.

Hey [REDACTED] - can you give
me an update on CardConnect?
I know we had some initial kick off
calls, but have we actually processed
any certs and keys for them?

+1610[...]5308:

We have

+1702[...]1885

Awesome...have they expressed any
other needs on the Island front? I
know we developed the ability to
re-inject a device for them, anything
else?

+1610[...]5308:

They use Re-injection for various
reasons.
The next biggest thing for
them at the is reporting for devices.
Currently they have no way of
knowing when we inject/deploy
devices.
It can cause issues with
merchants as they get billed but
have no clue device has shipped.
