Chris,

Thanks forthe quick response. Everything sounds great to be honest. A few questions
I had:

1.  We are going to be integrating into theirsystem. Do you havean API document
    for us to review? It looks like you guys are doing a lot of what Card Connect
    does, any thing youcan sendoverto showthe differenceswould be helpful.

2.  What is the deal with Card Connect? Are they still around? Do you still support
    them?

3.  Can you send over a deck that shows Shift4, who you are, and background?

4.  I understand the benefits of a smallercompany vs. a largercompany. Can you
    give me some references I can talk to?

5.  Just to get things moving faster, I have attached the Merchant App. Please get me
    all of your sign-up info so I can input into the system.

Look forward to hearing back and working together!

Nate,

It appears there is some continued disconnect regarding expectations. This product was due to be completed 8/15.
In my humble opinion, 12 days late is 12 days unacceptable. Please cease and desist with excuses and give me
concise answers. I will not ask again T Ball and/or J Rock. They have zero technical expertise so please direct
correspondence to me.

Questions:
1) What specifically (to the most minute detail), is NOT completed?
2) Why was this task, sub-task, problem not completed?
3) Who is responsible for the issue?
4) How do we fix the problem(s) and when will they be resolved?
5) How do we as leaders, prevent this from happening again?
6) When can I expect delivery so I can set deployment?
7) What is the communication protocol, so I can give my CEO and the distribution team the who, what, where, when
and why.

Thank you,

Subject: RE: SkyTab Glass

Jared,

It’s simple. The product you had Nate working on, (skytab glass) was by far, THE MOST IMPORTANT INITIATIVE
I had going on the west coast. It was late, (more than 2 weeks) and rather than answer direct questions regarding
the launch, Nate would not respond. No matter how many times I have asked for the plan of action, I received
nothing. This is unacceptable.

I was forced to bring in outside developers to get this project back on track- which cost me over 10k (of my own
money).

We spent way too much time on this project which took away the focus of many of the other revenue generating
projects that are in the portfolio .

The response below is typical Nate. I still (as you can see) do not have clear direction, timelines, or accountably. I
can’t and won’t work this way.

He’s your employee not mine, and not my job to manage him. I do not have the time or patience for this type of
subordinate behavior.

Respectfully,

Don

1 Q Okay. So Shift4 knew you were going to be
2 working with those folks. Correct?
3 A Yes.
4 Q Okay. So Shift4 -- excuse me. So Island Sky,
5 after you were terminated on August 14 of 2020, reached
6 out to Shift4. Correct?
7 A Yes.
8 Q Okay. And at that point in time, Island Sky
9 had completed its work. Correct?
10 A No.
11 Q Okay. What work was left to be done?
12 A Island Sky hadn't completed the gateway integration to
13 Shift4 at that point in time.
14 Q Okay. And you would agree with me
15 at the conclusion of your noncompete term, you were free
16 to work with them. Correct?
17 A Yes.
18 Q Okay. And, in fact, after June 27 of
19 2021, you did work with Island Sky. Correct?
20 A Yes.
21 Q You were offering them Lighthouse services as
22 recently as August of 2021. Correct?
23 A I don't -- I -- my consulting with them ended. I don't
24 believe it lasted until August of 2021. I believe it was
25 -- ceased earlier than that.
Page 29
1 Q 2022. Excuse me.?
2 A Okay. Yeah.
3 Q Thank you for that clarification. Okay. So
4 is it fair to say that even though after you left --
5 after you were terminated and throughout your noncompete,
6 you didn't receive compensation from Island Sky, but you
7 were working with them in hopes of future opportunities.
8 Correct?
9 A Yes.
10 Q Okay. And when did you start communicating
11 with Island Sky?
12 A It was sometime after August 14, 2020.
13 Q Okay. So you agree with me you resumed
14 communications with Island Sky after you were terminated
15 by Shift4. Correct?
16 A Yes.
17 Q Okay. Did you communicate in August?
18 A Yes.
19 Q Okay. Did you communicate in September?
20 A Yes.
21 Q Okay. Did you communicate in October?
22 A I'm not sure of that.
23 Q Did you communicate via text message?
24 A We may have.
25 Q And what would you have communicated about via
Page 30
1 text message?
2 A A lot of the communication was regarding a statement
3 Jared Isaacman made to the owner indicating they were going
4 to sue him.
5 Q Okay. And what else?
6 A That was the primary topic of conversation during
7 that period.
8 Q Were there ever any conversations during your
9 noncompete about completing work for Island Sky?
10 A I don't believe so.
11 Q Was there ever --
12 A After -- after the one year.
13 Q Yeah. And, again, I'm only focused on the
14 one-year noncompete time period.
15 A Yeah, no. And there was nothing prior to that.
16 Q Okay. No text messages?
17 A No.
18 Q No e-mails?
19 A No.
20 Q Would you have sent a letter?
21 A No.
22 Q Mailed a letter?
23 A No.
24 Q Okay. Have you ever communicated with anyone at
25 Shift4 to tell them about the communications with
