Yeah. I asked legal to put in writing. That we won't have any liability. That would be great. I won't need to bring my phone with me. 😃

They are doing it the week before Jared's event. They have a bunch of resellers signed up for Jared's event and didn't want competing
events.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
CARDCONNECT, LLC,
Plaintiff,
- v. - CIVIL ACTION
SHIFT4 PAYMENTS, LLC, et al., No. 18-cv-2778
Defendants.
DECLARATION OF RYAN A. CARR
I, Ryan Anthony Carr, declare as follows:
INTRODUCTION
1.  I submit this Declaration to correct certain misrepresentations made about me
by my previous employer, Shift4 Payments, LLC (“Shift4”), in this action. I understand that
Shift4—a company I helped establish and faithfully served for more than a decade—recently
attempted to convince this Court that I had acted disloyally toward it, and further that I had
solicited key Shift4 sales agents in an attempt to persuade them to join a competitor. Those
assertions are wholly untrue.
2.  I am a resident of Easton, Pennsylvania. I am over the age of eighteen years.
If called as a witness, I could and would competently testify to the matters set forth in this
Declaration.
3. From March 2008 until April 2018 (approximately 10 years), I was employed by
Shift4. At first, I was a sales representative. Over time, my responsibilities increased; I
became the top sales director at the company. I also helped organize and host the company’s
sales conferences. I took pride in my contributions to Shift4’s success.
4.  In my various positions at Shift4, I worked closely with hundreds of its sales
partners throughout the country. Over theyears, I developed meaningful relationships with
many of the top-performing partners. These agents frequently contacted me to ask questions
and seek assistance regarding sales, technology, and other issues. In short, I spent a

significant part of my career at Shift4 communicating with its sales force on a regular basis.
5.  In or about late 2017 and early 2018, I became increasingly concerned about the
future of Shift4. In addition, toward the end of my employment there, I voiced concerns to
Shift4’s management about certain business practices that I considered to be unethical. My
concerns were not well-received.
6.  On April 16, 2018, I notified Shift4’s management, including its CEO, Jared
Isaacman, that I intended to resign. The next evening—April 17, 2018—I departed from Shift4.
Shift4’s False Allegation that I Solicited its Sales Partners
7.  I learned that Shift4 recently informed this Court that I had contacted a number
of premier Shift4 sales partners to persuade them to terminate their business relationships with
Shift4 and, instead, to partner with CardConnect LLC (“CardConnect”). That statement is
patently false. I never solicited any Shift4 sales partners to sever their relationships with Shift4,
nor did I urge any of them to join CardConnect.
8.  As noted above, throughout my years at Shift4, my positions required that I
maintain extensive communications with members of Shift4’s sales force. After I left the
company, the partners continued to communicate with me, mainly seeking information about
my departure and/or expressing their concern regarding the future of Shift4. It was Shift4’s
sales partners—not I—who initiated the overwhelming majority of the communications.
9.  Shift4’s efforts, through this litigation and otherwise, to smear my reputation
are deeply disappointing. I am proud of the work I did at Shift4, enabling it to become a major
company in the payments industry; I had hoped that I might receive, in return, a degree of
respect. Nevertheless, having learned of Shift4’s false accusations against me, I feel I have no
choice but to set the record straight.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America
2

that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on June    , 2018

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
CARDCONNECT, LLC,
Plaintiff,
- v. - CIVIL ACTION
SHIFT4 PAYMENTS, LLC, et al., No. 18-cv-2778
Defendants.
DECLARATION OF ROBERT CARR
I, Robert Carr, declare as follows:
1. I submit this Declaration in opposition to the motion by my former employer,
Shift4 Payments, LLC (“Shift4”), for a temporary restraining order. I have worked with Shift4
for more than nine years, but recently ended my business relationship with the company. I am
dismayed by the false and misleading narrative Shift4 has put forward about my recent decisions,
and I offer this Declaration to correct the record.
2. I live in North Carolina. I am over the age of eighteen years. If called as a
witness, I could and would competently testify to the matters set forth in this Declaration.
3. Since approximately July 2009, I was an independent sales agent for Shift4,
selling payment-processing hardware and software to merchants in the United States. My
company, 360 Merchant Solutions (“360”), frequently ranked among the top sales partners in
Shift4’s network. In fact, at one point, my company was Shift4’s biggest sales agent, and I
believe 360 was the largest sales agent for Shift4 over the last five years. In terms of aggregate
revenue for Shift4, I believe that no other sales agent matched 360.
4. From approximately 2009 to 2012, I worked exclusively with Shift4,
introducing hundreds of clients to its products. During this time, I developed strong
relationships with Shift4 executive leadership and sales representatives, including with Shift4’s
Chief Executive Officer, Jared Isaacman, its Chief Strategy Officer, J.D. Oder, and its V.P. of
Sales, Ryan Carr. As my business continued to grow, in the beginning, I sought to expand my

business to include additional payment processors. That decision was at first met with
resistance by Shift4. After the lawsuit was filed, I received a letter from Shift4 preventing 360
from joining with CardConnect.
5. As the years went on, I became increasingly concerned about the treatment of its
sales agents. Eventually, I decided to terminate my relationship and work with CardConnect
after nine years of dedication.
6.  On May 23, 2018, I notified Shift4 that I would not be renewing our agreement
when it expired on July 1, 2018. I informed Shift4 of this fact only after I learned of the
underhanded nature of their filings.
7.  I left Shift4 because of the way that they had treated me, and their history of
dealing with agents and employees.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America
that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on June, 2018
