A.The Employee is an employee of JBG XXXXX Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”).
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 the right to acquire common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) having the terms and conditions set forth in this Performance Share Unit Agreement (this “Award Agreement”), and thereby provide additional incentive for the Employee to promote the progress and success of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
C.The exact number of Performance Share Units earned under this award (the “Award”) shall be determined following the conclusion of the Performance Period (or the Extended Performance Period, if applicable) based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return and Relative Performance during the Performance Period (and on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return during the Extended Performance Period, if applicable) as provided herein. Any Award PSUs not earned following the conclusion of the Performance Period (or Extended Performance Period, if applicable) will be forfeited.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Employee agree as follows:
