RECITALS

A.The Employee is an employee of JBG XXXXX Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”) and provides services to JBG XXXXX Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership, through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations (the “Partnership”).

X.Xx accordance with the JBG XXXXX 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, 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. Upon the close of business on the Grant Date pursuant to this Performance LTIP Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”), the Employee shall receive the number of LTIP Units specified above (the “Award LTIP Units”), subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement.

C.The exact number of LTIP Units earned under this award (the “Award”) shall be determined based on the achievement of certain share price hurdles during the Performance Period, as provided herein. Any LTIP Units not earned at the conclusion of the Performance Period will be forfeited.

days after written notice thereof has been given by the Employee to the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the event (provided such notice must be given to the Company within 30 days of the Employee becoming aware of such condition).

2.Effectiveness of Award. The Employee shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership with beneficial ownership of the Award LTIP Units as of the Grant Date by (i) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement and (ii) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). Upon execution of this Agreement by the Employee, the Partnership and the Company, the books and records of the Partnership shall reflect the issuance to the Employee of the Award LTIP Units. Thereupon, the Employee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to a number of LTIP Units equal to the Award LTIP Units, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified in Section 3 below.

3.Vesting and Earning of Award LTIP Units.

(a)This Award is subject to performance vesting during the Performance Period and service vesting tied to Continuous Service of the Employee thereafter as specified herein. The Award LTIP Units will be subject to forfeiture based on the Company’s failure to achieve the Hurdle Price Level for a consecutive twenty (20) trading day period during the Performance Period, as set forth in this Section 3, subject to Section 5 hereof in the event of a Change in Control.

(b)The number of Award LTIP Units earned will be determined based on the Closing Price over any consecutive twenty (20) trading day period being equal to or greater than the Hurdle Price Levels set forth below. The date or dates on which such criteria are achieved (which date or dates shall be the twentieth (20^th) consecutive trading day on which such Hurdle Price Level is met) are the “Hurdle Date” or “Hurdle Dates.”

Hurdle Price Level

Percentage of Award LTIP Units Earned (in

	incremental amounts)
$35	17.5%
$40	22.5%
$45	27.5%
$50	32.5%

The Award will be forfeited in its entirety if the Closing Price fails to reach $35 over a consecutive twenty (20) trading day period during the Performance Period. For the avoidance of doubt, once a Hurdle Date for a Hurdle Price Level is achieved, the applicable percentage of Award LTIP Units will be earned regardless of whether the Closing Price later falls below such Hurdle Price Level and further provided that Employee can only earn Award LTIP Units once per Hurdle Price Level. For example, if Shares attain a Closing Price over twenty (20) consecutive trading days of $35, then 17.5% of the Award LTIPs will be considered to have been earned. No additional Award LTIP Units will be considered to have been earned unless and until the Shares attain a Closing Price over twenty (20) consecutive trading days of $40, at which time an additional 22.5% of the Award LTIP Units will be considered to have been earned. For the avoidance of doubt, any Award LTIP Units that become earned will be subject to the requirements to remain in Continuous Service through the dates set forth in Section 3(d) below to become vested.

(c)As soon as practicable following the achievement of each Hurdle Date hereunder, if any, the Committee shall:

(i)determine the number of LTIP Units earned by the Employee, which number will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of LTIP Units (the “Earned Award LTIP Units”), provided that the Employee may not earn more than the number of LTIP Units granted except as set forth in (c)(ii) immediately below.

(ii)determine the number of additional LTIP Units that would have accumulated if the Employee had received all distributions paid by the Partnership from the Grant Date with respect to the Earned LTIP Units determined pursuant to clause (i) (reduced by the distributions actually paid with respect to such Earned Award LTIP Units) and such distributions had been invested in Common Units at a price equal to the fair market value of one Common Unit on the ex-dividend date (referred to as “Distribution Equivalent LTIP Units” and together with the Earned Award LTIP Units determined pursuant to clause (i), the “Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Committee specifically resolves to issue Distribution Equivalent LTIP Units, the value of the unpaid distributions determined pursuant to the preceding sentence will be paid in cash. Accordingly, the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents shall refer only to the Earned Award LTIP Units determined pursuant to clause (i). The Grant Date of any Distribution Equivalent LTIP Units shall be the date on which the Committee makes the determination provided for in this clause (ii), and the initial Economic Capital Account Balance of the Distribution Equivalent LTIP Units as of the Grant Date thereof shall be zero (0). The Distribution Equivalent LTIP Units shall be subject to the vesting set forth in Section 3(d) below. The issuance of the Distribution Equivalent LTIP Units will be subject to the Employee confirming the truth and accuracy of the representations set forth in Section 13 hereof

and executing and delivering such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the Company and/or the Partnership reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws.

If, at the conclusion of the Performance Period, the number of Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents is smaller than the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Employee, then the Employee, as of the conclusion of the Performance Period, shall forfeit a number of Award LTIP Units equal to the difference without payment of any consideration by the Partnership; thereafter the term Award LTIP Units will refer only to the Earned Award LTIP Units (and any Distribution Equivalent LTIP Units) and neither the Employee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in the LTIP Units that were so forfeited.

(d)If any of the Award LTIP Units have been earned based on performance as provided in Section 3(b), subject to Section 4 and Section 5 hereof, the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents shall become vested in the following amounts and at the following times, provided that the Continuous Service of the Employee continues through and on the applicable vesting date or the accelerated vesting date provided in Section 4 or Section 5 hereof, as applicable:

(i)On the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, the lesser of (i) 50% of the Award LTIP Units, and (ii) the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents shall become vested;

(ii)Following the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date and up to and including the sixth anniversary of the Grant Date, any additional Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents shall become immediately vested subject to the condition that the total vested Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents do not exceed 50% of the Award LTIP Units;

(iii)On the sixth anniversary of the Grant Date, the lesser of (i) 75% of the Award LTIP Units, and (ii) the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents shall become vested; and

(iv)On the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date, the balance of the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents shall become vested (each of (i) through (iv), a “Vesting Period”).

(e)Any Award LTIP Units that do not become vested pursuant to Section 3(d), Section 4 or Section 5 hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Employee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award LTIP Units.

4.Termination of Employee’s Service Relationship; Death and Disability.

(a)If the Employee is a party to a Service Agreement that addresses treatment of the Award LTIP Units on a termination of employment and ceases to be an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates, the provisions of such Service Agreement that apply to the Award LTIP Unit will govern, provided, however, that this Agreement will govern, solely to determine the number of Award LTIP Units that become vested and not as it pertains to any defined terms, if a Service Agreement provides more favorable treatment than the treatment specified in 4(b)(A) or 4(b)(B). If the Employee is not a party to a Service Agreement that addresses treatment of the Award LTIP Unit on a termination of

employment, Sections 4(b) through 4(c) hereof shall govern the treatment of the Employee’s Award LTIP Units exclusively. In the event an entity ceases to be a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or the Partnership, such action shall be deemed to be a termination of employment of all employees of that entity for purposes of this Agreement, provided that the Committee or the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make provision in such circumstances for lapse of forfeiture restrictions and/or accelerated vesting of some or all of the Employee’s remaining unvested Award LTIP Units that have not previously been forfeited, effective immediately prior to such event.

(b)In the event of a termination of the Employee’s Continuous Service by (A) the Employer without Cause after the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, (B) the Employee for Good Reason after the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, (C) the Employee’s death, or (D) the Employee’s Disability (each, a “Qualified Termination”), the Employee will not forfeit the Award LTIP Units upon such termination, but the following provisions of this Section 4(b) shall modify the determination and vesting of the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents for the Employee:

(i)the calculations provided in Section 3(c) hereof shall be performed through the date of Employee’s Qualified Termination and the number of Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents, if any, shall be determined as of the date of Employee’s Qualified Termination; and

If the Qualified Termination occurs prior to the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, the Employee’s Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents, as calculated through the date of Employee’s Qualified Termination, shall be treated in the same manner as if Employee had continued in Continuous Service until the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date;

If the Qualified Termination occurs on or after the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date but prior to the sixth anniversary of the Grant Date, the Employee’s Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents, as calculated through the date of Employee’s Qualified Termination, shall be treated in the same manner as if Employee had continued in Continuous Service until the sixth anniversary of the Grant Date;

If the Qualified Termination occurs on after the sixth anniversary of the Grant Date, the Employee’s Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents, as calculated through the date of Employee’s Qualified Termination, shall be treated as if Employee had continued in Continuous Service until the seventh anniversary of the Grant Date.

(ii)Notwithstanding that the Continuous Service requirement pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof will not apply to the Employee after the effective date of a Qualified Termination, except in the case of death or Disability, the Employee will not have the right to Transfer (as defined in Section 23 hereof) his or her Award LTIP Units or request conversion of his or her Award LTIP Units into Common Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents would have become earned and vested pursuant to Section 3(d), absent a Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 4(b)(ii) is to prevent a situation

where Employees who have had a Qualified Termination would be able to realize the value of their Award LTIP Units or Common Units (through Transfer or redemption) before other Employees whose Continuous Service continues through the applicable vesting dates set forth in Section 3(d) hereof.

(c)In the event of a termination of the Employee’s Continuous Service other than a Qualified Termination, all Award LTIP Units except for those that, as of the date at such termination, both (i) have ceased to be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Sections 3(b) and (c) hereof and (ii) are vested pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Employee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such Award LTIP Units.

5.Change in Control.

(a)If a Change in Control occurs on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to the Employee’s Continuous Service through the consummation of such Change in Control, the Committee shall, prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, determine whether the intent, economic opportunity and economic value of the Award LTIP Units are capable of being replicated at least at the same level as in effect prior to the Change in Control:

(i)

If the Committee determines that the intent, economic opportunity and economic value of the Award LTIP Units are not capable of being replicated at least at the same level as in effect prior to the Change in Control, (i) the Performance Period shall end as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, (ii) the provisions of Section 3 shall apply to determine the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents except that if the Change in Control is a Transactional Change in Control, the fair value, as determined by the Committee, of the total consideration paid or payable in the transaction resulting in the Transactional Change of Control for one Share shall be used to determine if any incremental Award LTIP Units become earned, and the determination shall be made based on such price per Share without regard to the price over the preceding trading days, (iii) the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents, as well as any Award LTIP Units that previously became Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents, shall become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, and (iv) any Award LTIP Units that do not become earned shall be forfeited.

(ii)

If the Committee determines that the intent, economic opportunity and economic value of the Award LTIP Units are capable of being replicated at least at the same level as in effect prior to the Change in Control, the Performance Period shall not end as of immediately prior to the Change in Control and the Award LTIP Units shall continue with appropriate adjustments to the Hurdle Price Levels as the Committee deems appropriate.

(b)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Change in Control occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Award LTIP Units shall be immediately forfeited without payment.

(c)Subject to Section 5(a)(i) (which provides for immediate vesting) and Section 5(d), the Award LTIP Units and Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents determined under Section 3 shall remain subject to satisfaction of the Hurdle Price Levels and vesting tied to Continuous Employment as provided in Section 3(d), as applicable, except that the Employee shall become fully vested in the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents if he is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason within 18 months following the Change in Control.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including, without limitation, the Committee’s determination in Section 5(a)(i) above, if (a) the Employee holds Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents as of immediately prior to a Change in Control, (b) the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents are not continued, assumed or substituted in connection with such Change in Control, and (c) the Employee remains in employment as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, then the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents shall vest in full and become convertible into LTIP Units and non-forfeitable as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control. The Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents shall be considered “assumed” or “substituted” for purposes of the preceding sentence only if each of the following requirements is satisfied, as determined by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion: (i) the contractual obligations represented by the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents are expressly assumed (and not simply by operation of law) by the successor entity or its parent in connection with the Change in Control with appropriate adjustments to the number and type of securities of the successor entity or its parent subject to the converted or substituted award which at least preserves the compensation element of the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents existing at the time of the Change in Control; (ii) in the case of a substituted award, it must be of the same type of award and have the same tax consequences to the Employee as the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents; (iii) the vesting terms of the converted or substituted award (including with respect to accelerated vesting upon certain terminations of employment) must be substantially identical to the terms of the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents; (iv) the converted or substituted award must be convertible or redeemable into another security that is itself convertible or redeemable into shares of a publicly traded company, each in a manner substantially identical to the corresponding terms of the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents; and (v) all the other terms and conditions of the converted or substituted award must be no less favorable to the Employee than the terms of the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalents (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control).

6.Distribution Participation Date and LTIP Unit Initial Sharing Percentage.

(a)The holder of the Award LTIP Units shall be entitled to receive distributions and allocations with respect to such Award LTIP Units to the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement, including Exhibit E thereof, as modified hereby.

(b)The Distribution Participation Date with respect to such Award LTIP Units shall be the applicable Hurdle Date. Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, from the Grant Date until the applicable Distribution Participation Date, the holder of the Award LTIP Units shall only be entitled to certain distributions and allocations described in, and pursuant to, Sections 2.A. and 3 of Exhibit E to the Partnership Agreement with respect to an Award LTIP Unit in an amount equal to the product of the LTIP Unit Initial Sharing Percentage for such Award LTIP Unit and the amount otherwise distributable or allocable with respect to such Award LTIP Unit.

(c)The LTIP Unit Initial Sharing Percentage shall be ten percent (10%). For the avoidance of doubt, after the applicable Hurdle Date, Award LTIP Units, both vested and (until and unless forfeited pursuant to Section 3(d), Section 4(c) or Section 5(a)(i)) unvested, shall be entitled to receive the same distributions payable with respect to Common Units if the payment date for such distributions is after the Distribution Participation Date, even though the record date for such distributions is before the Distribution Participation Date.

(d)The Distribution Participation Date with respect to any Distribution Equivalent LTIPs shall be the Grant Date of such Distribution Equivalent LTIPs.

(e)All distributions paid with respect to Award LTIP Units, both before and after the Distribution Participation Date, shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid, whether or not the underlying LTIP Units have been earned based on performance or have become vested based on the passage of time as provided in Section 3 or Section 4 hereof.

7.Certain Adjustments. The LTIP Units shall be subject to adjustment as provided in the Partnership Agreement, and except as otherwise provided therein, if (i) 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, (ii) 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 the Shares or Common Units other than regular dividends shall occur, or (iii) any other event shall occur that in each case in the good faith judgment of 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: (A) adjustments in the LTIP Units; and (B) substitution of other awards under the Plan or otherwise. In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares (or corresponding change in the Conversion Factor applicable to Common Units) by reason of any share dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other corporate change, or any distribution to common shareholders of the Company other than regular dividends, any Common Units, shares or other securities received by the Employee with respect to the applicable Award LTIP Unit which have not been earned or still subject to a risk of forfeiture will be subject to the same restrictions as the Award LTIP Units with respect to an equivalent number of shares or securities and shall be deposited with the Company.

8.Incorporation of Plan; Interpretation by Administrator. This Agreement is subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and definitions contained in the Plan, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The Administrator may make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of this Agreement, which are consistent with the terms of this Agreement, as it deems appropriate.

9.Certificates; Legend. Each certificate, if any, issued in respect of the Award LTIP Units awarded under this Agreement shall be registered in the Employee’s name and

held by the Company until the expiration of the applicable Vesting Period. If certificates representing the LTIP Units are issued by the Partnership, at the expiration of each Vesting Period, the Company shall deliver to the Employee (or, if applicable, to the Employee’s legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs) certificates representing the number of LTIP Units that vested upon the expiration of such Vesting Period. The records of the Partnership and any other documentation evidencing the Award LTIP Units shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such LTIP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement.

00.Xxx Withholding. The Company or its applicable affiliate (including the Partnership) has the right 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 Award LTIP Units becomes includible in the Employee’s income (the “Withholding Amount”), and/or to delay delivery of Award 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 Award 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.

11.Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may only be modified or amended in a writing signed by the parties hereto, provided that the Employee acknowledges that the Plan may be amended or discontinued in accordance with the provisions thereof and that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Administrator, on behalf of the Company and the Partnership, in each case for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, so long as no such action shall adversely affect the Employee’s rights under this Agreement without the Employee’s written consent. No promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof, have been made by the parties which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The failure of the Employee or the Company or the Partnership to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or to assert any right the Employee or the Company or the Partnership, respectively, may have under this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

12.Complete Agreement. Other than as specifically stated herein or as otherwise set forth in any employment, change in control or other agreement or arrangement to which the Employee is a party which specifically refers to the Award LTIP Units or to the treatment of compensatory equity held by the Employee generally, this Agreement (together with those agreements and documents expressly referred to herein, for the purposes referred to herein) embody the complete and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all prior promises, assurances, commitments, agreements, undertakings or representations, whether oral, written, electronic or otherwise, and whether express or implied, which may relate to the subject matter hereof in any way.

13.Investment Representation; Registration. The Employee agrees that any resale of the LTIP Units received upon the expiration of the applicable Vesting Period (or the Shares) received upon redemption of or in exchange for LTIP Units or Common Units 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 xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy. In addition, any resale shall be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or an applicable exemption therefrom, including, without limitation, the exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule). The Employee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto as of the Grant Date. All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Employee. The Employee shall promptly notify the Partnership upon discovering that any of the representations or warranties set forth on Exhibit B was false when made or have, as a result of changes in circumstances, become false. The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any of the Award LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of the Award LTIP Units into other limited partnership interests of the Partnership.

00.Xx 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.

00.Xx Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans, agreements or arrangements, and any such plans, agreements and arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases or to specific persons.

16.Status of Award LTIP Units under the Plan. The Award 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 partnership units into which Award 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.

17.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.

18.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

19.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.

20.Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Chief Legal Officer, JBG SMITH Properties, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, 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.

21.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.

22.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.

23.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 (a) prior to vesting and (b) 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.
