RECITALS
A.The Employee is an employee of JBG SMITH Properties, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”) and provides services to JBG SMITH Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership, through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations (the “Partnership”).
B.In accordance with the JBG SMITH 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 of OP Units (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 LTIP Units not earned following the conclusion of the Performance Period (or Extended Performance Period, if applicable) will be forfeited and any additional LTIP Units owed to the Employee shall be issued as soon as reasonably practical following the end of the Performance Period.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Employee agree as follows:

TSR equal to the 75th percentile of Peer Companies | 100% |
The Award will be forfeited in its entirety if the Relative Performance is below the 35th percentile of Peer Companies or as provided in Section 3(e) hereof. If the Relative Performance is between the 35th percentile and 55th percentile of Peer Companies, or between the 55th percentile and 75th percentile of Peer Companies, the percentage of the Award LTIP Units earned will be determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
If the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent is smaller than the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Employee, then the Employee, as of the Valuation Date, 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 Award LTIP Units that were not so forfeited 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. If the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent is greater than the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Employee, then, upon the performance of the calculations set forth in this Section 3(c): (A) the Company shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Employee, as of the Valuation Date, a number of additional LTIP Units equal to the difference; (B) such additional LTIP Units shall be added to the Award LTIP Units previously issued, if any, and thereby become part of this Award (provided that such additional LTIP Units shall be treated as

being issued as of the date they are actually issued for purposes of determining their holding period under the Partnership Agreement); (C) the Company and the Partnership shall take such corporate and partnership action as is necessary to accomplish the grant of such additional LTIP Units; and (D) thereafter the term Award LTIP Units will refer collectively to the Award LTIP Units, if any, issued prior to such additional grant plus such additional LTIP Units; provided that such issuance 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 the Earned LTIP Unit Equivalent is the same as the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Employee, then there will be no change to the number of Award LTIP Units under this Award pursuant to this Section 3.
