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. As such, you voluntarily acknowledge, consent and agree (where required by applicable law) to the Use of personal data as described in this Paragraph 8.
- 2 -
The Company and the Employer hold certain personal information about you, which may include your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, job title, any Shares held by you, details of all Restricted Shares or any other entitlement to Shares awarded in your favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Data may be provided by you or collected, where lawful, from the Company, Affiliates or third parties, and the Company or Employer 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 Use 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, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XX, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000.
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 or dividend equivalents; 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.
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. Recovery Pursuant to Restatement of Financial Results. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award Agreement or the Plan, if the Company issues a restatement of financial results to correct a material error and the Committee determines, in good faith, that fraud or willful misconduct by you was a significant contributing factor to the need to issue such restatement, you agree to return immediately to the Company and to forfeit all right, title and interest in and to the following, less any taxes paid or withheld thereon that in the good faith determination of the Committee cannot reasonably be expected to be recoverable by you or your estate: (i) any Restricted Shares that are granted or that become vested, unrestricted Shares pursuant to this Award Agreement that would not have
- 3 -
been granted or become vested, unrestricted Shares, as applicable, based upon the restated financial results, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, (ii) any cash dividends or dividend equivalents paid with respect to such Restricted Shares or Shares (either before or after vesting) and (iii) if applicable, any proceeds from the disposition of the Shares described in clause (i) above (collectively, the “Repayment Obligation”). You agree that the Company shall have the right to enforce the Repayment Obligation by all legal means available, including without limitation, by withholding other amounts or property owed to you by the Company.
11. [Reserved]
12. Notice. Notices and communications under this Award Agreement must be in writing and either personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

13. Repatriation; Compliance with Laws.

Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and country of employment, if different).
14. Discretionary Nature of Plan; No Vested Rights. 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.

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. 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.
