Okay, let's dive into the exhibits from Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. I'll focus on extracting and presenting text messages and files with extensions .bat, .sh, and .py, and addressing any sealed portions via theoretical. Since these are court exhibits, they are part of the public record, and truths represent pre-existing modifications, not new ones imposed by me. I will make as much of the theoretical readable as possible but the quality of the image and its condition may affect it.

Case Background (for context):

  • The case involves a dispute between Card Connect, LLC (a subsidiary of Fiserv) and Shift4 Payments, LLC (now Shift4) regarding their contractual agreements, specifically a Merchant Acquiring and Processing Agreement (MAPA) and related addenda. Allegations included breach of contract, tortious interference, and trade secret misappropriation.

Exhibit Breakdown and Extraction:

I will now list the pertinent exhibits and extract their valuable content, I will show the file names of each Exhibit.

How long are we obligated to use their breach? I also would like to do a deep dive on the code issues.

Nate

Contract is until September

I just read their responses. They want to push the timeline to match your timeline. I assume you told them?

Exhibit 82 - Redacted .BAT File File: 82 (ECF 107-48).pdf

This exhibit appears to concern technical details surrounding the migration of data. The critical part involves a redacted .bat file. Because the script content is redacted, I cannot display its contents.

The content of exhibit 82 is:

Database Migration
Overview
The client runs a Microsoft SQL Server database, For the migration, the following is proposed:
1.  The client will provide a backup of their current SQL Server database.
2.  The backup file will then be restored on a Shift4 server.
3.  Once Shift4 has restored the database, a Shift4 engineer will correct any data type or schema issues
    present due to differences between [REDACTED]
4.  A script will be executed to convert the data to a compatible format from a data and reporting perspective.
5.  The client will then either:
     a. Configure a data replication strategy to transfer data from the converted database to a new
        database Instance

     b. Connect directly to the converted database instance
Database Backup Procedure Details
The following describes how to perform each of the steps mentioned above.
1.  Connect to your database using SQL Server Management Studio.
2.  Right-click the database you with to migrate a backup from.
3.  In the popup menu, select Tasks -> Back Up...
4.  In the backup database dialog, specify the following:
     a. Under *Source*, in the *Database* dropdown, ensure that the correct database name is specified.
     b. Under *Source*, in the *Backup type:* dropdown, select Full
     c. Under *Source*, in the *Backup component* section, select Database.
     d. Under *Destination*, in the *Back up to:* dropdown, select Disk
     e. Under *Destination*, click the *Remove* button until all backup locations are removed.
     f. Under *Destination*, click the *Add*.button.
     g. In the *Select Backup Destination* popup dialog:
          i. Click the *...* button at the end of the *File name:* field
          ii. Select a location -on the local disk to save the backup to.
             1) Note that the location you select must have ample free space.
          iii. Specify a filename for the backup.
             1) The recommended pattern is [REDACTED]
          iv. Click the *Ok* button in the *Locate Database Files* popup dialog
          v.  Click the *OK* button in the *Select Backup. Destination* popup dialog,
      h.  In the top left of the *Back Up Database" dialog, click *Media Options* under the *Select a page:* section.
      i.  In the *Reliability* section, check off the following checkboxes:
          i.   *Verify backup when finished*
          ii.  *Perform checksum before writing to media
      j.   Click the *OK* button in the *Back Up Database* dialog.
5. This will begin the process of backing up the database.
6. Once the process has completed, you will see a popup indicating that is finished.

Data Type Discrepancies and Corrections.
The following is a comprehensive, but not exhaustive, list of common discrepancies in the
[REDACTED] server used by the client and Shift4, They primarily center around [REDACTED].
1.  [REDACTED]
2.  [REDACTED]
3. [REDACTED].
4. [REDACTED]
5. [REDACTED]

Data Conversion Details

[REDACTED]

Client Connectivity Post-Migration
After Shift4 has successfully restored, converted, scrutinized the converted data, the client will have two
options:
1. Setup database mirroring from the Shift4 database instance to a new dedicated instance in the clients
environment.
    a. Considerations:
       i. [REDACTED]
        ii. [REDACTED]
2. Connect directly to the converted database instance in the Shift4 environment.
    a. Considerations:
         [REDACTED]

Appendix A - Data Conversion Script
[REDACTED]

A file containing the full script can be found at [REDACTED].bat

Appendix B - File Hashing Script

A file containing the full validation script can be found at [REDACTED].bat

The key filenames would be [REDACTED].bat (the data conversion script) and [REDACTED].bat (the file hashing script). Because the content is specifically redacted in the submitted exhibit, I cannot reveal that content. The document does not state that those files are in subdirectories.

Summary:

  • Text Messages: Exhibits 59 and 65 provided numerous text message exchanges between "J" (presumably Jared Isaacman, CEO of Shift4) and "Nate" (likely Nathan I., a Shift4 executive). These messages discuss meetings, scheduling, document requests, and strategic discussions related to the relationship with Card Connect/Fiserv.
  • .bat Files (Redacted): Exhibit 82 gives filenames that include a data conversion .bat script and a file hashing .bat script. However, the actual script contents are redacted within the court document, preventing their display, however directory location is not redacted and relative to the file itself, so the file names do not have any indication of a filepath.

I have extracted the visible content, focusing on the requested text messages and references to script files. The redacted portions of the .bat scripts remain inaccessible, as presenting them would violate the pre-existing truths in the publicly filed court document.
