Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Registration Rights Agreement

The Advent Funds, the Trusts and certain other stockholders (collectively, the “Holders”) of the Issuer have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated March 21, 2012 and effective upon the occurrence of the IPO (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Issuer. Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Advent Funds and certain other holders of shares having registration rights (“Registerable Securities”) can demand that the Issuer file a registration statement or request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that the Issuer is otherwise filing.

Demand Registration Rights

Subject to certain conditions, if the Issuer receives a request (a “Demand request”) from the Advent Funds or certain other Holders of Registerable Securities holding at least a majority of the Registerable Securities then outstanding (the “Other Demanding Holder” and together with the Advent Funds, the “Demanding Holders”) that the Issuer file a registration statement (a “Demand Registration”) under the Securities Act covering the registration of the Registerable Securities then held by such Demanding Holders, then the Issuer shall, within 90 days (in the case of a Demand Registration on Form S-1) or within 45 days (in the case of a Demand Registration on Form S-3) of the receipt of the Demand Request, and subject to specified conditions and limitations, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Demand Registration under the Securities Act of all Registerable Securities that all Demanding Holders request to be registered.

The Issuer shall not be required to effect such a registration:

in the case of a Demand Registration on Form S-1, after each of the Advent Holders, on the one hand, and the Other Demanding Holder on the other hand, have made a maximum of two Demand Requests for a Demand Registration on Form S-1;

the Issuer has previously registered any Registerable Securities pursuant to a Demand Request twice during the calendar year in which such Demand Request is made;


CUSIP NO. 92210H105		Schedule 13D		Page 28 of 33

if the Issuer has previously registered any Registerable Securities during the preceding 90 days (other than in relation to a merger, combination or employee stock plan); or

the Registerable Securities requested to be registered do not have an aggregate market value of at least $75 million.

The Issuer may delay the requested filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement in conjunction with a Demand Request, for a period of up to 90 days from the date of such Demand Request, or withdraw any registration statement that has been filed, if at the time that such Demand Request is made if certain customary conditions are met.

Piggyback Registration Rights

The Holders of the Regstriable Securities also have piggyback registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement. Under these provisions, if the Issuer files a registration statement covering Registerable Securities pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, including pursuant to any Demand Registration, or if the Issuer proposes to effect a take down pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, these holders will have the right to include their shares in the registration statement, subject to customary exceptions. The underwriters of any underwritten offering will have the right to limit the number of shares having registration rights to be included in the registration statement, and piggyback registration rights are also subject to priority rights of stockholders having demand registration rights in any Demand Registration.

Expenses of Registration

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to certain conditions, exceptions and limitations, the Issuer is required to pay all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, related to any Demand or piggyback registration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Advent Funds and one counsel certain other holders of Registerable Securities. All underwriting discounts and commissions in connection with any Demand or piggyback registration attributable to the sale of Registerable Securities shall be paid by the Holder(s) of the relevant Registerable Securities.

Indemnification

The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, under which the Issuer is obligated to indemnify the participating Holders in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to the Issuer and each participating Holder is obligated to indemnify the Issuer for material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement due to information provided by such participating Holder.

Shares of Class A Common Stock cease to be Registerable Securities under the Registration Rights Agreement if:

they have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act;


CUSIP NO. 92210H105		Schedule 13D		Page 29 of 33

they have been issued or are no longer outstanding; or

they have been transferred in violation of Section 10 of the Vantiv Holding, LLC Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement.

Lock-up Agreement

The Advent Funds and the Trusts, along with all of the Issuer’s officers and directors and stockholders prior to the IPO, have agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, they will not (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock of the Issuer, any limited liability company interests in Vantiv Holding, LLC (the “LLC Interests” and collectively with the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock, the “Securities”) or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Securities, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities or such other securities, whether any such transaction described in (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) make any demand or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Securities, without, in each case, the prior written consent of J.P.
