AGREEMENT

EQUITY AWARD IN LIEU OF ANNUAL CASH BONUS

​

This AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the Grant Date set forth on Schedule A hereto between JBG ▇▇▇▇▇ Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), its subsidiary JBG ▇▇▇▇▇ Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and the employee of the Company or one of its affiliates listed on Schedule A (the “Employee”).

RECITALS

▇.▇▇ accordance with the JBG ▇▇▇▇▇ Properties 2017 Omnibus Share Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), the Company desires, in connection with the employment of the Employee, to provide the Employee with an opportunity to acquire LTIP Units (as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of the Partnership, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”)) having the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and conversion set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement, in lieu of the Employee’s annual cash bonus amount payable for services performed in 2023, and thereby provide additional incentive for the Employee to promote the progress and success of the business of the Company, the Partnership and its Subsidiaries.

B.Schedule A hereto sets forth certain significant details of the LTIP Unit grant herein and is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings provided in the Partnership Agreement and on Schedule A.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Employee hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.Grant of Restricted LTIP Units. On the terms and conditions set forth below, as well as the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Employee such number of LTIP Units as is set forth on Schedule A (the “Restricted LTIP Units”).
2.Vesting. The Restricted LTIP Units will vest immediately upon grant, but shall be subject to such transfer restrictions as may be provided for under the Partnership Agreement and forfeiture as provided in this Agreement.

The Employee shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to Restricted LTIP Units to the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement, as modified hereby, if applicable. The Distribution Participation Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) for the Restricted LTIP Units shall be the Grant Date.

The Employee shall have the right to vote the Restricted LTIP Units if and when voting is allowed under the Partnership Agreement.

3.Forfeiture of Restricted LTIP Units. Upon completion of the Company’s final accounting of the results for the 2023 calendar year and, in any event, no later than March 15, 2024, if (x) the aggregate grant date fair value equivalent of Restricted LTIP Units exceeds (y) the dollar amount of the Employee’s bonus actually earned in connection with the Company’s short term incentive program approved by the Committee with respect to the

​

​

​

2023 calendar year, based on a final accounting of the results for the 2023 calendar year, then a number of Restricted LTIP Units equivalent to such excess (as determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) shall be forfeited as of the date of such determination and returned to the Company for delivery to the Partnership and cancellation.
4.Certificates. If certificates representing the LTIP Units are issued by the Partnership, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee certificates representing the number of LTIP Units awarded hereunder. The Grantee agrees that any resale of the LTIP Units (or Shares received upon redemption of or in exchange for LTIP Units or Common Partnership Units of the Partnership into which LTIP Units may have been converted) shall not occur during the “blackout periods” forbidding sales of Company securities, as set forth in the then-applicable Company employee manual or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ policy. In addition, any resale shall be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an applicable exemption therefrom, including, without limitation, the exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule).
▇.▇▇▇ Withholding. The Company or its applicable affiliate has the right, to the extent applicable, to withhold from cash compensation payable to the Employee all applicable income and employment taxes due and owing at the time the applicable portion of the Restricted LTIP Units becomes includible in the Employee’s income (the “Withholding Amount”), and/or to delay delivery of Restricted LTIP Units until appropriate arrangements have been made for payment of such withholding. In the alternative, the Company has the right to retain and cancel, or sell or otherwise dispose of, such number of Restricted LTIP Units as have a market value (determined as of the date the applicable LTIP Units vest) approximately equal to the Withholding Amount, with any excess proceeds being paid to Employee.
6.Certain Adjustments. The LTIP Units shall be subject to adjustment as provided in the Partnership Agreement, and except as otherwise provided therein, if (a) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company, spin-off of a Subsidiary, business unit or other transaction similar thereto, (b) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, significant repurchases of stock, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or any extraordinary dividend or other distribution to holders of Shares or Common Partnership Units other than regular dividends shall occur, or (c) any other event shall occur that in each case in the good faith judgment of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) necessitates action by way of appropriate equitable adjustment in the terms of this Agreement, the Plan or the LTIP Units, then the Committee shall take such action as it deems necessary to maintain the Employee’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Agreement and the terms of the LTIP Units prior to such event, including, without limitation: (i) adjustments in the LTIP Units; and (ii) substitution of other awards under the Plan or otherwise.
▇.▇▇ Right to Employment. Nothing herein contained shall affect the right of the Company or any affiliate to terminate the Employee’s services, responsibilities and duties at any time for any reason whatsoever.
8.Notice. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Chief Legal Officer, JBG SMITH Properties, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,

​

Maryland 20814, and any notice to be given the Employee shall be addressed to the Employee at the Employee’s address as it appears on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as the Company or the Employee may hereafter designate in writing to the other.
9.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without references to principles of conflict of laws.
10.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and any successors to the Company and any successors to the Employee by will or the laws of descent and distribution, but this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by the Employee.
11.Transfer; Redemption. None of the LTIP Units shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or other legal or equitable proceeding) (each such action, a “Transfer”), or redeemed in accordance with the Partnership Agreement unless such Transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act), and such Transfer is in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of LTIP Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 11 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any LTIP Units as a result of any such Transfer, and shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer.

The restrictions on Transfer provided for in this Section will also apply to Shares received upon redemption of or in exchange for LTIP Units or Common Partnership Units of the Partnership into which LTIP Units may have been converted.

​

12.Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not so held invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.
13.Headings. The headings of paragraphs hereof are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
14.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if each of the signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.
15.Miscellaneous. This Agreement may not be amended except in writing signed by the Company and the Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended in writing signed only by the Company to: (a) correct any errors or ambiguities in this Agreement; and/or (b) to make such changes that do not materially adversely affect the Employee’s rights hereunder. This grant shall in no way affect the Employee’s participation or benefits under any other plan or benefit program maintained or

-3-

​

provided by the Company. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.
16.Conflict With Employment Agreement. If (and only if) the Employee and the Company or its affiliates have entered into an employment agreement, in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions of this Agreement and any such employment agreement, the provisions of such employment agreement will govern; provided, however, that this Agreement will govern solely to determine the number of Restricted LTIP Units forfeited in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. As further provided in Section 7, nothing herein shall imply that any employment agreement exists between the Employee and the Company or its affiliates.
17.Status as a Partner. As of the Grant Date, the Employee shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership with beneficial ownership of the number of LTIP Units issued to the Employee as of such date pursuant to this Agreement by: (A) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement; and (B) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A).
18.Status of LTIP Units under the Plan. The LTIP Units are both issued as equity securities of the Partnership and granted as awards under the Plan. The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, to issue Shares in exchange for Common Partnership Units into which LTIP Units may have been converted pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and such Shares, if issued, will be issued under the Plan. The Employee must be eligible to receive the LTIP Units in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and to that effect is required to complete, execute and deliver certain covenants, representations and warranties (attached as Exhibit B). The Employee acknowledges that the Employee will have no right to approve or disapprove such determination by the Company.
19.Investment Representations; Registration. The Employee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Employee. The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of LTIP Units.
20.Section 83(b) Election. In connection with this Agreement, the Employee hereby agrees to make an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the fair market value of the applicable LTIP Units over the amount paid for them pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and to supply the necessary information in accordance with the regulations promulgated thereunder.
21.Acknowledgement.  The Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the LTIP Units issued hereunder shall constitute satisfaction in full of all obligations of the Company and the Partnership, if any, to grant to the Employee LTIP Units pursuant to the terms of any written employment agreement or letter or other written offer or description of employment with the Company and/or the Partnership executed prior to or coincident with the date hereof.

The Employee also acknowledges that any delivery of the Background Documents and other information relating to the Company and the Partnership prior to the determination by the Partnership of the suitability of the Employee as a holder of LTIP Units shall not constitute an offer of LTIP Units until such determination of suitability shall be made.

(b)The Employee hereby represents and warrants that:
(i)The Employee either (A) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (B) by reason of the business and financial experience of the Employee, together with the business and financial experience of those persons, if any, retained by the Employee to represent or advise him with respect to the grant to him of LTIP Units, the potential conversion of LTIP Units into Common Partnership Units of the Partnership (“Common Units”) and the potential redemption of such Common Units for the Company’s common Shares (“REIT Shares”), has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters and in making investment decisions of this type that the Employee (I) is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Partnership and potential investment in the Company and of making an informed investment decision, (II) is capable of protecting his own interest or has engaged representatives or advisors to assist him in protecting his interests, and (III) is capable of bearing the economic risk of such investment.

Exhibit B-1

​

(ii)The Employee understands that (A) the Employee is responsible for consulting his own tax advisors with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws, and the tax laws of any state, local or other taxing jurisdiction to which the Employee is or by reason of the award of LTIP Units may become subject, to his particular situation; (B) the Employee has not received or relied upon business or tax advice from the Company, the Partnership or any of their respective employees, agents, consultants or advisors, in their capacity as such; (C) the Employee provides services to the Partnership on a regular basis and in such capacity has access to such information, and has such experience of and involvement in the business and operations of the Partnership, as the Employee believes to be necessary and appropriate to make an informed decision to accept this award of LTIP Units; and (D) an investment in the Partnership and/or the Company involves substantial risks. The Employee has been given the opportunity to make a thorough investigation of matters relevant to the LTIP Units and has been furnished with, and has reviewed and understands, materials relating to the Partnership and the Company and their respective activities (including, but not limited to, the Background Documents). The Employee has been afforded the opportunity to obtain any additional information (including any exhibits to the Background Documents) deemed necessary by the Employee to verify the accuracy of information conveyed to the Employee. The Employee confirms that all documents, records, and books pertaining to his receipt of LTIP Units which were requested by the Employee have been made available or delivered to the Employee.

(iii)The LTIP Units to be issued, the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units and any REIT Shares issued in connection with the redemption of any such Common Units will be acquired for the account of the Employee for investment only and not with a current view to, or with any intention of, a distribution or resale thereof, in whole or in part, or the grant of any participation therein, without prejudice, however, to the Employee’s right (subject to the terms of the LTIP Units, the Plan and this Agreement) at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of his LTIP Units, Common Units or REIT Shares in compliance with the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, and subject, nevertheless, to the disposition of his assets being at all times within his control.
(iv)The Employee acknowledges that (A) neither the LTIP Units to be issued, nor the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units, have been registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws by reason of a specific exemption or exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and, if such LTIP Units or Common Units are represented by certificates, such certificates will bear a

Exhibit B-2

​

legend to such effect, (B) the reliance by the Partnership and the Company on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of the Employee contained herein, (C) such LTIP Units or Common Units, therefore, cannot be resold unless registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from registration is available, (D) there is no public market for such LTIP Units and Common Units and (E) neither the Partnership nor the Company has any obligation or intention to register such LTIP Units or the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to take any action that would make available any exemption from the registration requirements of such laws, except that, upon the redemption of the Common Units for REIT Shares, the Company may issue such REIT Shares under the Plan and pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act, to the extent that (I) the Employee is eligible to receive such REIT Shares under the Plan at the time of such issuance, (II) the Company has filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the issuance of such REIT Shares and (III) such Form S-8 is effective at the time of the issuance of such REIT Shares. The Employee hereby acknowledges that because of the restrictions on transfer or assignment of such LTIP Units acquired hereby and the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units which are set forth in the Partnership Agreement or this Agreement, the Employee may have to bear the economic risk of his ownership of the LTIP Units acquired hereby and the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units for an indefinite period of time.
(v)The Employee has determined that the LTIP Units are a suitable investment for the Employee.
(vi)No representations or warranties have been made to the Employee by the Partnership or the Company, or any officer, director, shareholder, agent or affiliate of any of them, and the Employee has received no information relating to an investment in the Partnership or the LTIP Units except the information specified in paragraph (a) above.
(c)So long as the Employee holds any LTIP Units, the Employee shall disclose to the Partnership in writing such information as may be reasonably requested with respect to ownership of LTIP Units as the Partnership may deem reasonably necessary to ascertain and to establish compliance with provisions of the Code applicable to the Partnership or to comply with requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority.
