TERMS AND CONDITIONS – Restricted Stock Units – Non-Executive Directors - Time Vesting
1. Plan Controls; Restricted Stock Units. In consideration of this Award, you hereby promise to honor and to be bound by the Plan and this Award Agreement, including the following terms and conditions, which serve as the agreed basis for your Award. The terms contained in the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Award Agreement, and this Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Plan. The “Restricted Stock Units” (or “RSUs”) represent a contractual obligation of the Company to deliver the number of Shares specified on page 1 hereof pursuant to the terms of Section 10 of the Plan and the additional terms and restrictions hereunder.  Unless the context otherwise requires, and solely for purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the term “Company” means Invesco Ltd., its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, as applicable. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.
2. Restrictions. RSUs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered. Upon your Termination of Service for any reason other than as set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof,  you shall forfeit all of your right, title and interest in and to any unvested RSUs as of the date of your Termination of Service.
3. Vesting and Conversion to Shares. The RSUs will vest and become nonforfeitable upon the earliest to occur of the following:
(a)    the first anniversary of the Grant Date, provided that you have not experienced a Termination of Service before such date, or
(b)    in the event of your Termination of Service due to death or Disability, as of the date of your Termination of Service, or
(c)    in the event of your Termination of Service due to resignation or retirement, as of the first anniversary of the Grant Date;   provided, however, in the event such voluntary Termination of Service occurs before the first anniversary of the Grant Date, a prorated number of RSUs (based on the proration of the one-year period between the Grant Date and the first anniversary of the Grant Date that you served as a director, rounded down to the nearest whole Share) will be converted to Shares as of the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and you will forfeit the remaining RSUs, or 
(d)    in the event of a Change in Control and this Award Agreement is not assumed, converted or replaced in connection with the transaction that constitutes the Change in Control, as of the date of such Change in Control, or
(e)     in the event of your Termination of Service following a Change in Control that occurs after the Grant Date but before the first anniversary of the Grant Date, by the Company other than for Cause, as of the first anniversary of the Grant Date.


Upon the expiration or termination of an applicable restriction set forth in this Paragraph 3, unrestricted Shares will be delivered to you as soon thereafter as practicable.  


3.1    Conversion and Payment. Unless the RSUs are forfeited, the RSUs will be converted into an equal number of Shares which will be delivered as soon as practicable thereafter. If you are subject to U.S. federal income tax on such Shares, such Shares will be delivered not later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the vesting occurs. 


Notwithstanding anything in these Terms and Conditions or the Plan to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, settle the RSUs in the form of a cash payment to the extent settlement in Shares is prohibited under local law, rules and regulations, or would require the Company and/or you to secure any legal or regulatory approvals, complete any legal or regulatory filings, or is administratively burdensome.  In addition, the Company may require you to sell any Shares acquired under the Plan at such times as may be required to comply with any local legal or regulatory requirements (in which case, you hereby expressly authorize the Company to issue sales instructions on your behalf).
