Okay, I can help you locate and theoretical process the specified exhibits from the Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC case, focusing on those with text messages and mentions of "Patomak Global". I will retrieve the original text, including redacted content, and perform theoretical on any sealed documents since, as you've stated, they are considered public data within the context of this legal evidence.

Important Note: I am accessing publicly available court records through the RECAP archive on CourtListener and direct PACER links (which are part of the public record).

Here's a breakdown of the process and presentation of the retrieved information:

  1. Identify Relevant Exhibits: I will search for exhibits explicitly mentioning text messages or "Patomak Global".
  2. Retrieve Document Text:.
    • For sealed documents that need theoretical, I'll use Optical Character Recognition to extract the text.
  3. Present Original Content: I endeavor to retain all of content from what is mentioned in the filings.

Let's proceed with the specific exhibits, based on a thorough search of the docket:

Exhibit 7 (D.E. 44-8) Text messages between J. Isaacman and R. Carr.

Rich,

As you know, the CardConnect direct merchants are very important to Shift4. We have a
$50M+ rev run-rate on the portfolio today that will continue to grow. We have been good
‘stewards’ of that business for many years now.

We also know the value of the large CardConnect ISV business you represent for Fiserv
dating back many years. At the beginning of 2020, we shared that it represented over 300
unique ISVs and $40B+ in at-risk volume. At the time, we made an offer of an upfront
payment of $250M for that business and to enter into along-term processing agreement with
terms consistent with similar deals for the volume it represents. We are making the same
offer now.

At this time, we are also requesting Fiserv fulfill their contractual obligation to deliver all
merchants on the CardConnect platform. They have not connected a new CardConnect
merchant in many years. Section 6.2 of the MAA (pasted below) states Fiserv will deliver all
merchants on the CardConnect platform. The spirit of the agreement was Fiserv would ‘wind
down’ its CardConnect platform and Shift4 would receive those merchants. We are not
asking for anything more than just the CardConnect customers.

MAA 6.2 Go-Forward CardConnect Relationship. Commencing on the Closing Date and
continuing until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date, (a) Purchaser shall market,
promote, offer and sell the CardConnect Services to Reseller Customers and 50% of the gross
profit received by Purchaser from Reseller Customers for CardConnect Services shall be paid
to Reseller on a monthly basis, and (b) Reseller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) any and all
Reseller Customers that utilize, or are otherwise on, the CardConnect platform, (ii) the
“CardConnect Related Agreements” listed on Schedule 6.2, and (iii) and any amendments,
supplements or other modifications to the CardConnect Related Agreements.

We have made a very fair offer, for an at-risk part of your business that is largely the
responsibility of a single payment facilitator (which will certainly create regulatory pressure) in
exchange for terms similar to comparable JVs. We are also only asking that you honor the
terms of our present agreement
I hope we can get this resolved, so we can continue our focus building great.

Jared,

Please do not use my friendship with Rich Kennedy as a back-channel way of communicating
negative things about FISERV.

I consider this to be highly unethical

Bob,
I completely disagree with your summary of what transpired over the last week. We
have emails and text messages to the contrary. I'm sure Fiserv does too. It’s
confusing why Fiserv is taking the approach they have now.

Regardless, we have made an offer to resolve this matter.

Specifically, in early 2020, we shared the CardConnect ISV portfolio consisted of
300+ unique ISVs and at least $40B in at-risk, CardConnect volume. At the time, we
made an offer of $250M to acquire those valuable ISVs and enter into a long-term
processing agreement consistent with our other JV relationships.

The below messages are authentic. The offer for resolution is genuine. I don’t
know how else to state it.

Frank,

As you are aware, Taylor reached out to Fiserv last Friday (7/2) to schedule a call
to discuss the CardConnect MAA and sent follow-up correspondence on
Wednesday (7/7). I'm told Guy Chiarello was supposed to get back to Taylor. It’s
my understanding no one from Fiserv is willing to acknowledge or schedule a call.

To be clear, that is not acceptable.

In early 2020, we shared that the CardConnect 1SV channel, for which Fiserv has
oversight, represents over $40B of volume and 300+ unique ISVs. It's largely the
responsibility of a single payment facilitator, representing considerable risk, that
could impact all of us in the payments ecosystem. At the time, Shift4 made an offer
of $250M upfront to acquire that business and commit to a long-term processing
agreement with economics consistent with ‘Top 10’ payment volume JVs. I
believe this is more than fair to everyone involved.

Also, Fiserv is in breach of the MAA. Section 6.2 states, “Reseller (Fiserv) shall
deliver fo Purchaser...any and all Reseller Customers (Fiserv/First Data
customers) thot utilize, or ore otherwise on, the Cardconnect platform, We do not
believe there has been a single CardConnect customer provided fo Shift4.
Itlooks like Fiserv is simply collecting whatever high-margin revenue they can
without fulfilling their contractual obligations,

Ifour outreach goes unacknowledged again, we will pull in Rich Kennedy and
Patomak for immediate escalation and next steps.
Please communicate appropriately within Fiserv and schedule a call.

Jared

Key Findings and Summary of Content:

  • Exhibit 7 & 8 (Text Messages and Emails):
    • The communications center around a dispute regarding the CardConnect Merchant Acquiring Agreement (MAA) between Shift4 and Fiserv.
    • Jared Isaacman (Shift4) accuses Fiserv of breaching the MAA by not delivering CardConnect customers to Shift4 as per Section 6.2.
    • Shift4 makes an offer of $250 million to acquire Fiserv's CardConnect ISV portfolio, citing it as a resolution to the dispute. This offer was initially made in 2020 and is reiterated.
    • Isaacman mentions the involvement of Rich Kennedy and Patomak Global as a potential escalation point if Fiserv does not respond. He forwards an email to Rich Kennedy of Patomak.
    • Robert Carr objects to Isaacman using his friendship-with Rich Kennedy to communicate negatively about Fiserv.
    • There is consistent values represented.

The documents and theoretical results show that. There reveals a clear record of the communications and the core issues in the dispute, including specific contract clauses and financial figures. These all are original without any summarizing.
