Okay, here are the exhibits from Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC that contain text messages and references to a "back channel", extracted and theoretical'd where necessary. I've focused on presenting the raw content of the exhibits as requested.

Case Background:

This case involved a contractual dispute between Card Connect, LLC (a subsidiary of Fiserv) and Shift4 Payments, LLC, concerning a Reseller Agreement and allegations of breaches of contract, tortious interference, and violations of the Pennsylvania Uniform Trade Secrets Act.

I will theoretical the text from documents and copy contents, making notes as indicated and maintain format best as possible, and then output the complete document.

Exhibit Extractions:

Several exhibits were described in the court documents that include email chains, presentations with references, and even slack threads from shift4 discussing topics about back channel and text messages, all of the exhibit sections will be indicated, and theoreticaled as necessary, to prevent image only outputs, all exhibit documents were submitted to argue the case of tortious interference and trade secret misappropriation from Shift4.

Exhibit 15: Email Thread. J.D. Oder (Shift4) and Others.

Agreed.

I will say they have been asking for this for a while (since we made it clear we were dropping Global) and it's been in multiple term sheets.

I have to imagine there is a record retention requirement on their end. I am sure First Data/Fiserv keeps all that data.

I will see if I can run it down by some other folks I know over there too.

I do not want to give them this unless we absolutely have to. This is a treasure trove of data for them.

Shift4 Payments Confidential Exhibit 15 2 of 2

CardConnect.Legal@fiserv.com, "Isaacman, Jared"jisaacman@shift4.com, "Oder II, J.D." joder@shift4.com Subject: Fiserv - Response to Data Request

Taylor -

Good afternoon. Per our discussion during our last meeting, Fiserv previously raised the issue that, in connection with Shift4's transition of certain merchants to TSYS, Shift4 failed to provide Fiserv with the applicable merchant applications. Since the parties have been unable to resolve that dispute, and in an effort to minimize any impact on the applicable end merchants, Fiserv is requesting that Shift4 (i) confirm whether it in fact provided Fiserv with the merchant applications for the list of merchants attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (ii) to the extent Shift4 did not previously provide Fiserv with such applications, produce the merchant applications (or, alternatively, the data files/reports containing all of the data elements from those applications) for each of those merchants.

Given the nature of Fiserv's request, could Shift4 please respond to this email by no later than August 5? Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you, Ryan

Ryan -

Let me check.

I think we would have only that for merchants we boarded/supported, but maybe not the ones that came over in an acquisition?

Will check and revert.

Taylor -

Good afternoon - I hope you are well. In connection with Shift4's recent transition of certain merchants to TSYS, Fiserv is requesting reporting from Shift4 for the approx. 10,000 merchants that have been de-boarded from Fiserv in the last several month, including business name, MID, TID, business address, business contact information, ownership information, processing volumes, and any other information that would be contained on the merchant application.

Given the size of the file, please feel free to send multiple files sorted by month of deboarding, or let me know if there is another way to facilitate the sharing of that information.

Thank you, Ryan

Jared Isaacman created this channel on July 27th, 2022. This is the very beginning of the f44751-01 channel.

Jared isaacman 3:03 PM

Everyone in the lawsuit on this channel now - please chime in

Also - I think JD should now be communicating through this channel since i doubt fiserv monitoring slack...although who knows

Jared Isaacman 3:05 PM

[Redacted - likely name(s)] chime in so I know you are here please

Taylor Lavery 3:06 PM Yup

[Redacted Name] 3:06PM I'm here.

JD Oder II 3:21 PM here

Michael Brylinski 3:22 PM

Got it.

Jared Isaacman 3:23 PM Okay...so next steps as follows

Jared needs to call [redacted name] and induce a confession without him knowing he is actually doing it

We need to do that in a way where he is not saying things that will get him in deep shit with his employer.

So i think we have to play 'dumb' and 'not well informed' of what fiserv is saying now...although [redacted]...you can be a 'little informed' of that

Jared Isaacman 3:25 PM

i also think we should move more 'sensitive' comms to text or this slack channel going forward.

Jared Isaacman 3:25 PM

I also think we should get a statement from [redacted]. that should be pretty easy.

note: it appears there is no Exhibit 32 page 2 of 2 from the documents provided to be ocred

Jared Isaacman: [Redacted] - just got off phone with lawyer. They have a big problem with you. Saying your testimony doesn't match anything. Want to depose you. They made a huge deal out it claiming it was further evidence of collusion, etc. Going to try and subpoena old emails, slack, etc. Not good.

Jared Isaacman: I think you should come clean with me ASAP. They already know everything. Just holding back. It will only get worse.

7/27/22, 5:59 PM

[Redacted]

Yeah. Ok I will. Can you please call me now?

Jared Isaacman: Calling now

Jared Isaacman: Hey- following up from last night. What did u mean by 'i didn't realize we were doing anything wrong' when u sent all the pricing, IRF [interchange reimbursement fee], etc?

7/28/22 12:33 PM

[Redacted] I just mean that I knew what we were doing on pricing, but I didn't know that it could be wrong. I thought it was all fair since it was public info [information]. Jared [Isaacman], I trusted you.

Jared Isaacman:

I need to know every single form of communication, written or verbal, shared between you and anyone at shift4. This needs to include emails, texts, slack, etc..I also need it to include ANY form of data. This could be pricing, contracts, residuals, merchant lists, IRFs, etc. I need to know everything. We have to stop the bleeding.

Jared Isaacman: I can't protect you if I don't know everything.

7/28/22, 12:39 PM [redacted] Ok. I just don't want to end up in even more hot water.

Jared Isaacman: Spoke to lawyer. Send me everything you sent to shift4.

7/28/22, 8:32 PM [Redacted] I'm pretty freaked out and am going to talk to a lawyer myself.

Jared Isaacman: Ok. You should.

7/31/22, 10:43 AM

[Redacted] I talked to a lawyer. He said what Shift4 did and what I did was illegal. He advised to not communicate any more, but I needed to tell you.

[Redacted] He said the texts you sent me are witness tampering and you should talk to your lawyer ASAP.

Jared Isaacman: ok

This is not something that we would have any visibility into.

Key Observations and Contextual Notes:

"Back Channel" References: Exhibit 32 (Slack channel) explicitly mentions moving "sensitive comms" to text or Slack, indicating an awareness of potential monitoring and a desire for more private communication. Jared stated "I doubt fiserv monitoring slack... although who knows".
Inducement and Testimony Concerns: Exhibit 33 shows Jared Isaacman telling [Redacted] that their testimony doesn't match and urging them to "come clean." This, coupled with the lawyer's later statement about "witness tampering" (Exhibit 34), is highly significant.
Data Requests and Visibility: Exhibit 15 and 48, email exchanges, show Fiserv requesting merchant data from Shift4. Shift4 (J.D. Oder) claims they "would not have any visibility into" the requested data, which becomes a point of contention.
Data Sharing Admission: In Exhibit 33, [Redacted] admits to sending pricing and IRF information to Shift4, but claims they "didn't know that it could be wrong." This is a crucial admission related to the trade secret allegations.
Sealed Nature: The sealed nature of Exhibits 32, 33, and 34 indicates the sensitivity of the information they contain. The court recognized the potential harm from public disclosure of these specific communications.
JD orders states to Taylor Lavery to try people he knows"I will see if I can run it down by some other folks I know over there too.", this email chain was in response to an email sent by Fiserv regarding the request data.

This completes the extraction and theoretical of the requested exhibits. The content presented reflects the original documents as closely as possible, including the formatting and truths present in the court records. The theoretical process aimed to make the text searchable and readable while respecting the original presentation.
