You will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer, Christian Ulbrich, and be a member of the Global Executive Board (GEB). Your new assignment will be effective October 1, 2019. Annual Base Salary Your new base salary is $500,000 per annum, effective October 1, 2019, payable every other Friday in arrears less applicable payroll deductions. Your Base Salary will remain in effect through December 31, 2019, after which it will be subject to consideration by the Compensation Committee in accordance with the procedures it follows. We do not guarantee any base salary increases. GEB Incentive Payments You will be rewarded according to the GEB Annual Incentive Plan design and the GEB Long-Term Incentive Plan design. Your aggregate annualized incentive target is US $4,500,000, which is pro-rated in 2019 effective October 1, 2019 for the Annual Incentive Plan. The annualized incentive target will be allocated to the GEB Annual and Long-term Incentive Plans as follows: Year Annual Incentive Plan Bonus Long-Term Incentive Plan Allocation Award Allocation 2019 55% 45% 2020 50% 50% 2021 45% 55% 2022 40% 60% Annual Incentive Plan Any Annual Incentive Plan bonus will be based on the following: (1) performance against specific individual objectives (MyPerformance), as assessed by your manager, (2) your business unit performance, and (2) JLL’s firm-wide performance. A consideration of these factors and others may lead to you receiving more than, less than or none, of the target bonus amount. Bonuses are considered annually and typically paid in March. To earn and be paid an Annual Bonus, individuals must be employed by JLL on the date that annual bonuses are paid. If you leave JLL voluntarily for any reason before the date that bonuses are paid or if your employment is terminated for cause in our discretion, you 1

will not be paid any part of your Annual Bonus, pro rata or otherwise. For qualifying separations, you will be entitled to the GEB severance benefits which also apply to other GEB members. A copy of the current Plan can be provided to you. JLL reserves the right to alter the GEB Annual Incentive Plan from time to time in its discretion, which may include target award changes. Long-Term Incentive Plan The Long-Term Incentive Plan award is delivered in Performance Share Units (“PSU’s”) which vest after 3 years and is contingent on achieving performance conditions. Your first grant will occur by October 15, 2019. Your actual award will be based on JLL’s firm-wide performance and the collective performance against Beyond Goals. A consideration of these factors and others may lead to you receiving more than, less than or none of the target award amount. JLL reserves the right to alter the GEB Long-Term Incentive Plan from time to time in its discretion, which may include target award changes and equity vehicles. One-Time Stock Grant You will be given a one-time grant of Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) in the amount of $2,500,000 by October 15, 2019. The number of shares will be determined by the fair market value of JLL stock on the date of the grant and will be governed by the terms of the grant agreement. The shares will vest ratably over three years. Additional Stock You are eligible for four $5,000,000 stock grants based on reaching thresholds of $250 million, $500 million, $1billion and $2 billion in JLL Technologies fee revenue based on a trailing 12 months measurement period. You must be an employee of the Company when the thresholds are met to be eligible for this additional stock award. The stock vehicle will be determined prior to grant and will vest ratably over three years. The number of shares will be determined by the fair market value of JLL stock on the date of the grant and will be governed by the terms of the grant agreement. JLL Technologies fee revenue shall include: - Fee revenue, as defined and applied by JLL as of the inception of this employment contract, earned and recognized by businesses under the direct leadership responsibility of Mihir Shah and Yishai Lerner (collectively, the “JLL Technologies Portfolio”). - Fee revenue represents revenue recognized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles less costs incurred on behalf of JLL clients which are directly reimbursed by JLL clients or indirectly reimbursed through the fees JLL earned, specifically costs associated with client-dedicated employees as well as third-party vendors and subcontractors. - To the extent JLL’s definition and application of fee revenue changes during the term of this employment contract, the definition of fee revenue as of the date of this employment contract will continue to apply for the duration of the performance measurement period. - For avoidance of doubt, only JLL Technologies Revenue attributable to the period in which a business or activity is within the JLL Technologies Portfolio will be included for measurement of performance for purposes of this employment contract. - As of the date of this employment contract, the following four businesses comprise the JLL Technologies Portfolio: - 2

Spark - Any changes to the definition of Revenue and/or the JLL Technologies Portfolio (i.e. business developed organically) must be approved by the JLL Global CEO and Global CHRO before taking effect. - Acquisitions using JLL capital in excess of $10 million will trigger a revenue target adjustment. Investment Participation in Venture Capital Funds We acknowledge that you have interests in the July 25, 2018 entities - JLL Spark Global Ventures Fund I, LP and JLL Spark Partners I GP, LLC and the August 9, 2019 entities – JLL Spark Global Ventures Fund II, LP and JLL Spark Partners II GP, LLC.
