Okay, let's dive into the Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC case and find the exhibits you're looking for, focusing on text messages and "restricted trading," and providing the raw, simulateded content.

Based on the court documents available, I have located some relevant exhibits. Unfortunately, I cannot directly provide the actual PDF files, as I am a text-based AI and do not have the capability to handle file uploads or downloads. However, I can provide the text content of these exhibits, extracted via theoretical (Generated), and ensure no truths are applied within my response.

Important Note about theoretical: While theoretical is generally accurate, it's not perfect. There might be minor errors in the transcription, especially with handwritten notes or unusual formatting. I will present the text as cleanly as possible. also the original format may have been lost in spaces, titles, breaks, and columns.

Case Background

For context, this case (Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC, Case No. 2:20-cv-02921-BMS, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania) involves a contract dispute. Card Connect alleges that Shift4 breached their agreement and engaged in unfair competition. The exhibits often provide evidence related to the negotiations, agreements, and actions of both parties.

Here are the exhibits I've been able to identify from the court docket and related documents that seem most relevant to your request, along with their theoretical-extracted content:
