The Use of your personal data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Plan and your participation in the Plan. Your denial and/or objection to the Use of personal data may affect your participation in the Plan.

will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan. The data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which Data are collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different). Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such data are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Plan and for your participation in the Plan.
The Company and the Employer will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of your participation in the Plan, and the Company and the Employer may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. You hereby authorize them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on your behalf to a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan.
You may, at any time, exercise your rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (a) obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data, (b) verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data, (c) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion, or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data, and (d) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data that is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Plan and your participation in the Plan. You may seek to exercise these rights by contacting your Employer’s human resources manager or Invesco, Ltd., Manager, Executive Compensation, 1555 Peachtree Street, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30309.
9. Income Taxes and Social Insurance Contribution Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local taxes and/or non-U.S. taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Shares, including the grant of the Restricted Shares, the vesting of the Restricted Shares, the subsequent sale of any Shares with respect to which any applicable restrictions have lapsed and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Shares to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. Further, if you become subject to taxation in more than one country between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, you acknowledge that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax Related Items in more than one country.
If your country of residence (and/or the country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Company may withhold a portion of the Restricted Shares or Shares with respect to which applicable restrictions have lapsed that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the vesting date sufficient to pay the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Shares. For purposes of the foregoing, no fractional Shares or Restricted Shares will be withheld pursuant to the grant or vesting of the Restricted Shares hereunder. Alternatively (or in combination), the Company or the Employer may, in its discretion, withhold any amount necessary to pay the Tax-Related Items from your regular salary or other amounts payable to you, with no withholding of Shares or Restricted Shares, or may require you to submit payment equivalent to the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the Shares or Restricted Shares by means of certified check, cashier’s check or wire transfer. By accepting the Restricted Shares, you expressly consent to the methods of withholding as provided hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the Restricted Shares and the vesting thereof shall be your sole responsibility.
To the extent the Company or the Employer pays any Tax-Related Items that are your responsibility (“Advanced Tax Payments”), the Company or the Employer shall be entitled to recover such Advanced Tax Payments from you in any and all manner that the Company determines appropriate in its sole discretion. For purposes of the foregoing, the manner of recovery of the Advanced Tax Payments shall include (but is not limited to) offsetting the Advanced Tax Payments against any and all amounts that may be otherwise owed to you by the Company or the Employer (including regular salary/wages, bonuses, incentive payments and Shares acquired by you pursuant to any equity compensation plan that are otherwise held by the Company for your benefit).
10. [Reserved]

You acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and limited in duration, and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time as provided under the Plan. The grant of the Restricted Shares under the Plan does not create any contractual or other right to receive Restricted Shares or other awards or benefits in lieu of Restricted Shares in the future. Except as otherwise provided in the Employment Agreement, future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee, including, but not limited to, the form and timing of an award, the number of Shares subject to an award and the vesting provisions.

15. [Reserved]

16. Use of English Language. You acknowledge and agree that it is your express intent that this Award Agreement, the Plan and all other documents, notices and legal proceedings entered into, given or instituted with respect to the Restricted Shares be drawn up in English.

17. Value of Benefit. The future value of the Shares subject to the Restricted Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. Neither the Company, the Employer nor any Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation, where applicable, between your local currency and the United States dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Shares or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Shares or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

18. Addendum to Award Agreement. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement to the contrary, the Restricted Shares shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for your country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as may be set forth in an addendum to this Award Agreement (“Addendum”). Further, if you transfer residency and/or employment to another country as may be reflected in an Addendum to this Award Agreement, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to your Restricted Shares to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or to facilitate the administration of the Plan. Any applicable Addendum shall constitute part of this Award Agreement.

19. Additional Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Restricted Shares, any Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Shares, and your participation in the Plan, to the extent the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such other requirements are necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law, rules and regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the Restricted Shares and the Plan. Such requirements may include (but are not limited to) requiring you to sign any agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

20. Insider Trading / Market Abuse Laws. Your country of residence (and country of employment, if different) may have insider trading and/or market abuse laws that may affect your ability to acquire or sell Shares under the Plan during such times you are considered to have “inside information” (as defined under local law). These laws may be the same or different from any Company insider trading policy. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to be informed of and compliant with such regulations, and you should consult with your personal advisors for additional information.

21. Electronic Delivery. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Restricted Shares by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. Further, to the extent applicable, all references to signatures and delivery of documents in this Award Agreement can be satisfied by procedures that the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of any such documents, including this Award Agreement. Your electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, your manual signature.
