Pursuant to the Curbline Properties Corp. 2024 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), and the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Curbline Properties LP (as may be amended or amended and restated from time to time, and including all exhibits thereto, the “LP Agreement”), entered into by and between CBLP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Curbline Properties Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), as general partner of Curbline Properties LP (the “Partnership”), the Company hereby grants (and provides for the Partnership to grant) an award (this “Award”) of the maximum number of Operating Partnership Units (as defined in the Plan, “LTIP Units”) set forth on the first page of the Agreement (the “Maximum Award”) to the Holder named on the first page of the Agreement and having the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and conversion set forth herein and in the Plan (and as set forth in the LP Agreement for “LTIP Units”). Capitalized terms in this Agreement not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning specified in the Plan and LP Agreement, as applicable.
1.
Transfer of Award; Transfer of Converted Common Units.
1.1.
Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, none of the LTIP Units granted hereunder, nor any of the Common Units (as defined in the LP Agreement, “Common Units”) of the Partnership into which such LTIP Units may be converted (the “Converted Common Units”), shall be sold, assigned, gifted, pledged, encumbered, hypothecated, mortgaged, exchanged, transferred or in any other manner disposed of, or alienated, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “Transfer”) prior to (if at all) the Vesting of such LTIP Units. Upon or after the Vesting of any LTIP Unit, such LTIP Unit may be Transferred (including any redemption or acquisition of such LTIP Unit by the Partnership or the Company) only as permitted by the terms of the LP Agreement. Similarly, Converted Common Units may be Transferred (including any redemption or acquisition by the Partnership or the Company) only as permitted by the terms of the LP Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of LTIP Units or Converted Common Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any LTIP Units or Converted Common Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any LTIP Units or Converted Common Units. Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, or otherwise as permitted by the terms of the LP Agreement, this Agreement is personal to the Holder, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
2.
Earning and Vesting of LTIP Units.
2.1.
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement, the LTIP Units will Vest on the basis of the degree of achievement of the Management Objectives, substantially as described in the Statement of Management Objectives approved for the LTIP Units for the Performance Period specified on the first page of this Agreement and provided to the Holder (the “Statement of Management Objectives”), if the Holder is in the continuous employ of the Company or a Subsidiary from the Date of Grant through the applicable Vesting Date(s) for such LTIP Units, as provided in this Agreement and the Statement of Management Objectives. As soon as practicable following (i) each RTSR Measurement Date or (ii) if earlier or otherwise applicable, the date upon which a Change in Control occurs (each such applicable date, a “Valuation Date”), but in no event later than 30 days after such Valuation Date, the Committee shall certify (the “Certification”) whether and to what extent the Management Objectives described in the Statement of Management Objectives have been achieved and the applicable percentage(s) of the Maximum Award, if any, earned (or additionally earned, if applicable) by the Holder regarding such Valuation Date (the LTIP Units so earned and so Vested based on such Certification for a Valuation Date, the “Earned LTIP Units,” and the LTIP Units so earned and so Vested based on such Certification for all applicable Valuation Dates, the “Aggregate Earned LTIP Units”). For each Valuation Date, the extent of the achievement of the
Management Objectives and such applicable percentage(s) of the Maximum Award, if any, earned (or additionally earned, if applicable) regarding such Valuation Date will be determined substantially as set forth on the Statement of Management Objectives. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Aggregate Earned LTIP Units be greater than the maximum number of LTIP Units issued pursuant to this Award. The Earned LTIP Units for any Valuation Date shall be deemed Vested on the date upon which the Committee makes its Certification regarding such Valuation Date, provided that the Holder remains employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries through such Valuation Date (such Vesting date, a “Vesting Date”). The Committee may at any time accelerate or continue the Vesting schedule referred to in this Section 2.
2.2.
Under the Vesting provisions contained in this Section 2, if, after the last applicable Vesting Date for this Award (the “Last Vesting Date”), the number of Aggregate Earned LTIP Units is smaller than the Maximum Award, then the Holder shall (as of such Last Vesting Date) forfeit a number of Unvested LTIP Units equal to the difference between such amounts, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership; thereafter, references to LTIP Units under this Agreement, as applicable, will refer only to the Aggregate Earned LTIP Units, and neither the Holder nor any of the Holder’s successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in the LTIP Units that were so forfeited. Under the Vesting provisions contained in this Section 2, if, after the Last Vesting Date, the number of Aggregate Earned LTIP Units is the same as the Maximum Award, then there will be no change to the number of LTIP Units under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2’s Vesting provisions.
3.1.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Change in Control occurs as described in the Statement of Management Objectives while the Holder is continuously employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, the Committee will determine the applicable percentage of the Maximum Award that will be considered to be earned LTIP Units as of such Change in Control pursuant to Section 7 of the Statement of Management Objectives (the “Change in Control Earned LTIP Units”). The Committee as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control shall make such determination (the “Change in Control Determination”) as of immediately prior to the Change in Control.
3.2.
If the Change in Control occurs prior to or on the First RTSR Measurement Date, then (i) 25% of the Change in Control Earned LTIP Units (rounded up to the nearest whole LTIP Unit) will Vest on the First RTSR Measurement Date, (ii) an additional 25% of the Change in Control Earned LTIP Units (rounded up to the nearest whole LTIP Unit) will Vest on the Second RTSR Measurement Date, and (iii) the remainder of the Change in Control Earned LTIP Units will Vest on the Third RTSR Measurement Date, in each case subject to the Holder’s continued employment by the Company or a Subsidiary through such applicable RTSR Measurement Date (but further subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4 of this Agreement).
3.3.
If the Change in Control occurs after the First RTSR Measurement Date but prior to or on the Second RTSR Measurement Date, then (i) 33% of the Change in Control Earned LTIP Units (rounded up to the nearest whole LTIP Unit) will Vest on the Second RTSR Measurement Date, and (ii) the remainder of the Change in Control Earned LTIP Units will Vest on the Third RTSR Measurement Date, in each case subject to the Holder’s continued employment by the Company or a Subsidiary through such applicable RTSR Measurement Date (but further subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4 of this Agreement).
3.4.
If the Change in Control occurs after the Second RTSR Measurement Date, then 100% of the Change in Control Earned LTIP Units will Vest on the Third RTSR Measurement Date, subject to the Holder’s continued employment by the Company or a Subsidiary through such applicable
RTSR Measurement Date (but further subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4 of this Agreement).
3.5.
Under the Vesting provisions contained in this Section 3, if, after the date of the Change in Control Determination (the “Change in Control Determination Date”), the number of Change in Control Earned LTIP Units is smaller than the Maximum Award, then the Holder shall (as of such Change in Control Determination Date) forfeit a number of LTIP Units equal to the difference between such amounts, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership; thereafter, references to LTIP Units under this Agreement will refer only to the Change in Control Earned LTIP Units, and neither the Holder nor any of the Holder’s successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in the LTIP Units that were so forfeited. Under the Vesting provisions contained in this Section 3, if, after the Change in Control Determination Date, the number of Change in Control Earned LTIP Units is the same as the Maximum Award, then there will be no change to the number of LTIP Units under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3’s Vesting provisions.
4.
Termination of Employment. If the Holder’s employment by the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates prior to all of the LTIP Units either Vesting or being forfeited under the terms of this Agreement, then the Unvested LTIP Units that have not then been forfeited will Vest or be forfeited as follows:
4.1.
Termination due to Death or Disability, Termination Without Cause, or Termination for Good Reason. If the Holder’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated (i) by reason of the Holder’s death, (ii) by the Company and its Subsidiaries due to the Holder’s Disability, (iii) by the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause, or (iv) by the Holder for Good Reason, then, on the date of such termination of employment (notwithstanding anything in the Statement of Management Objectives to the contrary): (x) for purposes of Vesting under Section 2, such Unvested LTIP Units will be earned and Vest as of the date of such termination (the “Employment Termination Event”) on the basis of the relative achievement of the applicable Management Objectives determined in accordance with Section 6 of the Statement of Management Objectives; and (y) for purposes of Vesting under Section 3, all Change in Control Earned LTIP Units shall become immediately and automatically Vested on the date of such Employment Termination Event.
4.2.
Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
4.2.1.
Cause. “Cause” shall have the definition given to such term in the Holder’s employment, change in control or similar agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary (an “Individual Agreement”), if any, or if the Holder has no Individual Agreement (or if it does not define Cause), the term “Cause” shall mean: (A) conviction of the Holder for committing a felony under federal law or in the law of the state in which such action occurred; (B) dishonesty in the course of fulfilling the Holder’s employment duties; (C) willful and deliberate failure on the part of the Holder to perform the Holder’s employment duties in any material respect; or (D) prior to a Change in Control, other events substantially similar to those described in this Section 4(b)(i)(A)-(C), as shall be determined by the Committee in its reasonable exercise of discretion. The Committee shall, unless otherwise provided in the Holder’s Individual Agreement, have the sole discretion to determine whether Cause exists for purposes of this Section 4(b)(i), and its determination shall be final.
4.2.2.
Disability. “Disability” shall have the definition given to the term “Total Disability” in the Holder’s Individual Agreement, if any, or if the Holder has no Individual Agreement (or if it does not define Total Disability), shall mean that the Holder is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than 12 months and otherwise satisfies the requirements to be disabled under Section 409A of the Code.
4.2.3.

The Committee shall, unless otherwise provided in the Holder’s Individual Agreement, have the sole discretion to determine whether Good Reason exists for purposes of this Section 4(b)(iii), and its determination shall be final.
4.3.
Other Termination.

Distributions. Distributions on the LTIP Units shall be paid to the Holder pursuant to the LP Agreement, including without limitation Section 1.5 of Exhibit B thereto and Articles 5 and 13 thereof. Notwithstanding the immediately prior sentence, (a) unless otherwise determined by the Committee, but in all cases subject to applicable law, it is intended that, with respect to the LTIP Units, applicable distributions otherwise to be provided to the Holder with respect to such LTIP Units under the LP Agreement will not be paid to the Holder on a current basis (at the same time as such distributions are otherwise paid to other Partners in the Partnership), but instead, until such LTIP Units Vest under this Agreement, the Holder will be credited on the records of the Partnership and the Company (without interest) with such distributions (the “Credited Distributions”) relating to such LTIP Units, with the lesser of (i) such Credited Distributions and (ii) the Partnership’s gross income in the taxable year such LTIP Units have Vested, to be paid in the medium as provided for under the LP Agreement to the Holder at the same time and to the same extent as the LTIP Units (for which such distributions were credited) Vest (provided, however, that if any such LTIP Units are forfeited under this Agreement, the Credited Distributions for such forfeited LTIP Units will also be forfeited; provided further, if the Credited Distributions exceed the Partnership’s gross income in the taxable year such LTIP Units have Vested, the balance shall be paid in the medium as provided for under the LP Agreement to the Holder in the subsequent taxable year to the extent of the Partnership’s gross income in that subsequent taxable year), in each case as reasonably determined under the LP Agreement, but (b) notwithstanding Section 6(a), and subject to applicable law, during the term of the Agreement, no allocation of profit (that is taxable to the Holder) shall be made with respect to Unvested LTIP Units subject to this Award unless a corresponding distribution in equal value is or has been made to the Holder or is otherwise required pursuant to Section 704(b) of the Code. This Agreement and the Award shall be administered in a manner consistent with the intentions described in this Section 6.
7.

The Holder shall have the right to vote the LTIP Units to the extent permitted under the LP Agreement.
8.
Incorporation of LP Agreement and Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the LP Agreement and the Plan. Subject to applicable law, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and/or the terms of the LP Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Plan and/or the LP Agreement, as applicable, shall control.
9.
Tax Withholding; Tax Treatment.

It is intended that the liquidation value of the LTIP Units equal zero on the Date of Grant. The Holder should consult with the Holder’s tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of acquiring the LTIP Units and of filing the Section 83(b) election. The Holder acknowledges that it is the Holder’s sole responsibility, and not that of the Company, to file a timely election under Section 83(b).
11.
Section 409A of the Code. If any compensation provided by this Agreement may result in the application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, in consultation with the Holder, modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to, where applicable, (a) exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such Section 409A or (b) comply with the provisions of Section 409A, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions and to make such modifications, in each case, without any diminution in the value of the benefits granted hereby to the Holder.

The Holder shall immediately 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 of 1933, as amended, any of the LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of the LTIP Units into other limited partnership interests of the Partnership or shares of capital stock of the Company.
13.
No Obligation to Continue Employment. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Holder’s employment and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Holder at any time.
14.
No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the Company nor any Subsidiary 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.
15.
Status of LTIP Units under the Plan. The LTIP Units are both issued as equity securities of the Partnership and granted as “Operating Partnership Units” under the Plan. The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the LP Agreement, to issue Common Stock in exchange for Converted Common Units into which LTIP Units are converted pursuant to the LP Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth in the LP Agreement (and such Common Stock, if issued, will be issued under the Plan). The Holder acknowledges that the Holder will have no right to approve or disapprove such election by the Company.
16.
Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or under any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable law (or if such provision cannot be so construed or deemed amended without materially altering the purpose or intent of this Agreement and the grant of LTIP Units hereunder, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction and the remainder of this Agreement and the award hereunder shall remain in full force and effect).

The records of the Partnership and any other documentation evidencing the 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 LP Agreement.
18.
Restrictive Covenants. In the event the Holder breaches any of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Holder’s Individual Agreement (if any) while such restrictive covenants are in effect, the Holder will forfeit the LTIP Units as of the date of such breach.
19.
Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may only be modified or amended in a writing signed by the parties hereto, provided that the Holder acknowledges that the Plan may be amended or discontinued in accordance with Section 19 thereof and that this Agreement may be amended or canceled by the Committee, on behalf of the Company and the Partnership, for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, so long as no such action shall adversely affect in a material way the Holder’s rights under this Agreement without the Holder’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 Holder or the Company or the Partnership to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement, or to assert any right the Holder 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.
20.
Complete Agreement. 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.

5.
Calculation of Vested LTIP Units.
a.
The Committee shall determine the achievement of the performance for both RTSR and Absolute FFO Growth following each RTSR Measurement Date and shall notify the holder of the number of LTIP Units earned under both performance metrics within one business day of such determination.
b.
No LTIP Units that Vest as of the first or second RTSR Measurement Date shall be forfeited even if the total number of LTIP Units that would have Vested as of the final RTSR Measurement Date is less than the total number that Vested on the prior RTSR Measurement Dates. No LTIP Units that Vest as of the first or second Absolute FFO Growth Measurement Date shall be forfeited even if the total number of LTIP Units that would have Vested as of the final Absolute FFO Measurement Date is less than the total number that Vested on the prior Absolute FFO Measurement Dates.
6.
Calculation Upon Certain Alternative Vesting Scenarios. In the event that Section 4(a)(x) of the Agreement is applicable, then:
a.
from 0% to 50% of the LTIP Units will be earned based on achievement of RTSR (provided, however, that, for these purposes, there shall be just one RTSR Measurement Date – consisting of the date of the Employment Termination Event) compared to the Performance Levels and percentages of LTIP Units earned for “Year 5,” as set forth in Section 3(a) of this Statement of Management Objectives (with straight-line mathematical interpolation for RTSR at a level between such Performance Levels), and less
the number of LTIP Units earned (if any) pursuant to Section 3 of this Statement of Management Objectives as the result of any prior RTSR Measurement Dates; and
b.
if the Employment Termination Event occurs:
i.
after _____________, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(b)(ii) of this Statement of Management Objectives, from 0% to 50% of the LTIP Units will be earned based on Absolute FFO Growth (provided, however, that, for these purposes, there shall be just one Absolute FFO Growth Measurement Date – consisting of the last day of the Company’s most recently-completed fiscal quarter preceding the date of the Employment Termination Event (the “Quarter-End Date”)) compared to the Performance Levels, goals and percentages of LTIP Units earned for “Year 5,” as set forth in Section 4(a) of this Statement of Management Objectives (provided, however, that such five-year Absolute FFO Growth goals will be adjusted downward in order to be comparable to the cumulative actual time period elapsed from _______________ to such Quarter-End Date) (with straight-line mathematical interpolation for Absolute FFO Growth at a level between such Performance Levels), and less the number of LTIP Units earned (if any) pursuant to Section 4 of this Statement of Management Objectives as of any prior Absolute FFO Growth Measurement Dates; or
ii.
on or before ______________, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(b)(i) of this Statement of Management Objectives, from 0% to 50% of the LTIP Units will also be earned based on achievement of RTSR (provided, however, that, for these purposes, there shall be just one RTSR Measurement Date – consisting of the date of the Employment Termination Event compared to the Performance Levels and percentages of LTIP Units earned for “Year 5,” as set forth in Section 3(a) of this Statement of Management Objectives (with straight-line mathematical interpolation for RTSR at a level between such Performance Levels).
7.
Change in Control Calculation. In the event of a Change in Control prior to the end of the RTSR Measurement Period, then from 0% to 100% of the LTIP Units will be earned based on achievement of RTSR alone, measured as of the date of the Change in Control, with the Performance Levels as set forth in Section 3(a) of this Statement of Management Objectives, but the percentages of LTIP Units earned shall be: (a) Below Threshold, 0%; (b) Threshold, 20%; (c) Target, 40%; and (d) Maximum, 100%; with straight-line mathematical interpolation for RTSR earned at a level between such Performance Levels; and less the number of LTIP Units earned (if any) pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 of this Statement of Management Objectives as of any prior Absolute FFO Growth Measurement Date or RTSR Measurement Date.
