     SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 3 (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of June 9, 2009,
among Invesco Holding Company Limited (f/k/a AMVESCAP PLC), a public limited company organized
under the laws of England and Wales (the “Issuer”), IVZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “New

     WHEREAS, the Issuer, Invesco Aim Advisors, Inc. (f/k/a AIM Advisors, Inc.), Invesco Aim
Management Group, Inc. (f/k/a AIM Management Group Inc.), Invesco North American Holdings, Inc.
(f/k/a INVESCO North America Holdings, Inc.), Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc. (f/k/a INVESCO
Institutional (N.A.), Inc.), Invesco Ltd. (all of the foregoing other than the Issuer collectively,
the “Original Guarantors”) and the Trustee are parties to an Indenture, dated as of April 17, 2007,
as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 17, 2007 and the Supplemental
Indenture No. 2, dated November 27, 2007 (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Issuer issued
its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2012;



     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of the Issuer and the New Guarantor has
determined that it is in the best interests of the Issuer and the New Guarantor to authorize and
approve supplements contained herein to the Indenture;



     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee, the Issuer and any
affected Guarantor are authorized to execute and deliver a Supplemental Indenture to add any
Guarantor of the Securities; and



     WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this instrument have been duly authorized and all
conditions and requirements necessary to make this instrument a valid and binding agreement have
been duly performed and complied with.



     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is mutually
covenanted and agreed, for the equal proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities, as
follows:



     1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.



     2. Addition of New Guarantor. Execution of this Supplemental Indenture shall
evidence the Guarantee provided by the New Guarantor as fully as if endorsed on the Securities, and
the New Guarantor agrees to be obligated pursuant to Article XIII of the Indenture. Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 13.03 of the Indenture, (i) the existing Securities shall not be required
to be endorsed with the Guarantee provided by the New Guarantor, (ii) the validity and
enforceability of such Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any
particular Security and (iii) the New Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in
full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on the Securities a notation of its
Guarantee.



     3. Compliance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. The Guarantee provided by the New
Guarantor shall be interpreted in such a manner that such guarantee will be “full and
unconditional” as those words are used in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and



 









 




Exchange Commission, as currently in effect, and Holders shall automatically have any additional
rights and remedies against the New Guarantor that may be necessary to yield that result.




     4. Effectiveness. On the date hereof, the Indenture shall be supplemented and
amended in accordance herewith, this Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for
all purposes and the Holders of Securities heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered
under the Indenture shall be bound thereby. The Trustee accepts the trusts created by the
Indenture, as amended and supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, and agrees to perform the
same upon the terms and conditions of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by this
Supplemental Indenture. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument. This Supplemental Indenture shall become effective as of the date hereof at such
time as executed counterparts of this Supplemental Indenture have been delivered by each party
hereto to the other party hereto. The Issuer shall provide evidence to the Trustee regarding notice
of this Supplemental Indenture being given to the Holders.



     5. Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indenture Part of Indenture. Each of
the Issuer and the Trustee hereby confirms and reaffirms the Indenture in every particular except
as amended and supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture. Except as supplemented and amended
hereby, all provisions in the Indenture shall remain in full force and effect. All provisions of
this Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be incorporated in, and made a part of, the
Indenture; and the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, shall be
read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument and all provisions in the Indenture and
the Securities shall remain in full force and effect.



     6. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Supplemental
Indenture by the Issuer, the New Guarantor or the Trustee shall bind their respective successors
and assigns, whether so expressed or not.



     7. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Supplemental Indenture, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors under the
Indenture and hereunder and the Holders of the Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture.



     8. Trustee Makes No Representation. The recitals herein shall be taken as the
statements of the Issuer and the New Guarantor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Supplemental Indenture.



     9. Governing Law. This Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without regard to applicable principles of
conflicts of law thereof that would require the application of the law of any other state).

     11. TIA. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture limits, qualifies or
conflicts with any provision of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “TIA”) that is required under
the TIA to be part of and govern any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, such provision of
the TIA shall control. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes any
provision of the TIA that may be so modified or excluded, the provision of the TIA shall be deemed
to apply to the Indenture as so modified or to be excluded by this Supplemental Indenture, as the
case may be.
