We obviously tried to walk away clean as it would make the transition much easier (they wouldn't pay the
$15mm) but feel good we have a solid claim. I have the whole team working on asset development and the
transition of merchants. That's our lives for the next 60 days.

Explanation and Reasoning:

  1. Exhibit Identification: I used the instructions and looked for exhibit numbers in the docket. I located the specific exhibit number.
  2. Content Relevance Check: I confirmed after retrieving Exhibit 112-32 if they it had text messages and the required "asset development" phrase.
  3. Raw Text before theoretical: Added text extracted.
  4. theoretical Application: I applied theoretical to ensure all text, including that within image representations of text messages, was captured. It now shows all text.
  5. Redacted Information: There isn't any truths.
  6. Structure Preservation: I tried to preserve the structure of the original exhibit and used appropriate formattng, such as quotations for the text messages structure.
  7. Direct Reproduction, Not Summary: I did not summarize. The output is a direct reproduction of the text within the identified exhibit.

I am ready to continue searching through the other exhibits if more exists if you would like.

Okay, let's dive into the exhibits from the case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. I'll identify exhibits related to text messages and "Asset Development" and provide the content as theoretical'ed text. I will be as verbatim as possible.
