PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of May 31, 2020 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between Shift4 Payments, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Rook Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Investor”). 

RECITALS 
 WHEREAS,
the Investor desires to purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to sell and issue to the Investor, up to $100.0 million of the Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the
“Class C Common Stock”), in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of
the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Financing”); 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the Effective Date, which is contemporaneously with or prior to the
effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-238307) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the IPO; 
 WHEREAS, the closing of the Financing
shall take place concurrently with the closing of the IPO (the date of such closing, the “IPO Closing Date”) and at a purchase price per share of Class C Common Stock equal to the initial public offering price per share
at which the Class A Common Stock is sold to the public in the IPO (the “IPO Price”) less the amount that will represent underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover of the final prospectus filed
with the SEC; and 
 WHEREAS, in order to effect the IPO, the Company shall enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the

the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

1.    Purchase and Sale of Stock. 

1.1    Sale and Issuance of Stock. The Company agrees to issue and sell to the Investor, and the
Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, up to $100.0 million of Class C Common Stock (the “Investment Amount”) at the IPO Price less the amount that will represent underwriting discounts and commissions, in
each case on the terms and subject to the condition set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that each of the Investor and the Company shall be entitled to decrease the Investment Amount in their sole discretion at
any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The number of shares of Class C Common Stock to be sold by the Company and purchased by the Investor hereunder (the “Shares”) shall equal the number of
shares determined by dividing the Investment Amount (as adjusted as necessary pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence) by the IPO Price less the amount that will represent underwriting discounts and commissions (rounded down to the nearest
whole share). Payment of the purchase price for the Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall be made at the Closing (as defined below) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the
Company to the Investor no less than three business days prior to the IPO Closing Date, subject to the 












 
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Payment of the Purchase Price for the Shares shall be made against delivery to the Investor of the Shares, which Shares shall be
uncertificated and shall be registered in the name of the Investor on the books of the Company by the Company’s transfer agent. 

1.2    Closing. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Shares (the
“Closing”) will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4 (other than those conditions that by

and warrants to the Company that the following representations are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing (except to the extent any such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such
representations and warranties are true and correct as of such earlier date): 

3.1    Authorization. The investor has all requisite power and authority to enter into this
Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies. 

3.2    Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Investor in reliance upon
the Investor’s representations to the Company, which by the Investor’s execution of this Agreement the Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares acquired by the Investor hereunder will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing
this Agreement, the Investor further represents that the Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation rights to such person or to any third person with respect to
any of the Shares. 
 3.3    No Solicitation. At no time was the Investor presented with or
solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Shares.

it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Shares to be purchased by the Investor under this Agreement. The Investor further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the

 3.5    Investment Experience. The Investor
understands that the purchase of the Shares involves substantial risk. The Investor has experience as an investor in securities of companies and acknowledges that the Investor is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of the
Investor’s investment in the Shares, including a complete loss of the investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the
Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment. The Investor represents that the office in which its investment decision was made is located at the address set forth in Section 6.6. 

3.6    Accredited Investor. The Investor understands the term “accredited investor” within
the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and is an “accredited investor” for the purposes of acquiring the Shares to be purchased by the Investor under this Agreement. 

3.7    Restricted Securities. 

(a)    The Investor understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the
Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the
Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Investor represents that the Investor is familiar with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and
by the Securities Act. 
 (b)    The Investor understands that the certificates or book entries evidencing or
representing the Shares may bear one or all of the following legends (or substantially similar legends):

RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL
RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. 
 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. AS A RESULT OF SUCH AGREEMENT, THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE TRADED FOR A PERIOD OF
TIME AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE CLASS C COMMON STOCK OF THE ISSUER HEREOF. SUCH RESTRICTION IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES. 

3.8    No Brokers. The Investor has not incurred, and will not incur in connection with the purchase
of the Shares, any brokerage or finders’ fees, or agents’ commissions or similar liabilities.
