Exhibit 10.34

WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

2011 LONG-TERM

INCENTIVE PLAN

(Effective January 1, 2011)

ARTICLE I. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose. The purposes of the Washington Real Estate Investment Trust 2011
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) contained herein are to allow Washington
Real Estate Investment Trust (the “Trust”) to attract and retain talented
executives, to provide incentives to executives to achieve certain performance
targets, and to link executive compensation to shareholder results by rewarding
competitive and superior performance. In furtherance of those purposes, the Plan
is designed to provide long-term incentive compensation to officers of the
Trust, the amount of which is dependent on the degree of attainment of certain
performance goals of the Trust over the performance period beginning on
January 1, 2011 and ending on December 31, 2013.

1.2 Background. The Plan replaces the Long-Term Incentive Plan that became
effective January 1, 2009 (the “Prior Plan”) with respect to the performance
period beginning January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2013. The Prior Plan
has been amended in connection with the adoption of this Plan with respect to
the performance share units (“PSUs”) relating to the 2009 – 2011 and the 2010 –
2012 performance periods to convert them into restricted share units (“RSUs”),
and no further grants of PSUs will be made after 2010, or remain outstanding,
under the Prior Plan. All RSUs granted under the Prior Plan before 2011 remain
in effect in accordance with the terms of the Prior Plan, but after 2010 no
further grants of RSUs will be made under the Prior Plan, other than the
above-described PSUs that have been converted into RSUs. The foregoing amendment
to the Prior Plan is set forth in the Amendment to Long-Term Incentive Plan made
as of February 17, 2011.

1.3 Overview. Each award under the Plan is initially expressed as a dollar
amount that is a multiple of the participant’s annual base salary, which
multiple varies depending on the participant’s job position and the degree of
achievement of the performance goals over the three-year performance period
under the Plan. The dollar amount is converted into a number of common shares of
the Trust with equivalent value at the end of the performance period. The awards
are payable 50% in unrestricted (i.e., fully vested) common shares and 50% in
restricted common shares that are subject to a vesting schedule that normally
runs for one year after the completion of the three-year performance period.
Grants under the Plan are made pursuant to and from the common share reserve
established under the Trust’s 2007 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan.

1.4 Effective Date. This Plan is effective as of January 1, 2011 (the “Effective
Date”), and was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees
of the Trust (the “Committee”) and by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the
“Board”) on February 17, 2011.

ARTICLE III. ELIGIBILITY AND ADMINISTRATION

3.1 Eligibility. Officers of the Trust who are employees of the Trust as of the
first day of the Performance Period shall be the initial Participants. The
Committee may designate additional employees as Participants during the
Performance Period. If the Committee adds Participants after the first day of
the Performance Period, the Participant’s Award opportunity will be as
established by the Committee by written notice to the Participant in lieu of the
level specified in Section 4.1. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, the
Award for any Participant who is not a Participant on the first day of the
Performance Period shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days
the Participant is employed by the Trust during the Performance Period bears to
the number of days in the Performance Period. Once a person becomes a
Participant in the Plan, the Participant shall remain a Participant until any
Award payable hereunder has been paid and is vested or forfeited.

3.2 Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall
have discretionary authority to interpret and make all determinations relating
to the Plan. Any interpretation or determination by the Committee shall be
binding on all parties.

ARTICLE IV. AWARDS

4.1 Award Opportunity. Each Participant’s total Award under the Plan shall
initially be stated as a percentage of the Participant’s annual base salary
determined as of January 1, 2011 (provided, however, that the President and
Chief Executive Officer’s annual base salary as of such date shall be deemed to
be $500,000 solely for such purpose), which percentage shall depend upon the
Participant’s position and the degree of achievement of threshold, target, and
high performance goals for the Performance Period as set forth in the table
below:

 

     Threshold     Target     High     The percentages in
the table at left reflect
annualized percentages. To
calculate Awards at the
conclusion of the three-year
Performance Period, these
percentages shall be multiplied
by three.

President and Chief Executive Officer

     80 %      150 %      270 %   

Executive Vice President

     50 %      95 %      170 %   

Senior Vice President

     40 %      80 %      140 %   

Managing Director

     35 %      65 %      115 %   

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.2 Performance Goals. The performance goals under the Plan are, and are
weighted, as follows:

 

  (a) Absolute Total Shareholder Return (20%);

 

  (b) Relative Total Shareholder Return (20%); and

 

  (c) Strategic Plan Fulfillment (60%).

The Absolute Total Shareholder Return performance levels shall be as follows:

Threshold: 6%

Target: 8%

High: 10%

If Absolute Total Shareholder Return falls between 6% and 8% or between 8% and
10%, Absolute Total Shareholder Return shall be rounded to the closest
percentage in increments of 0.5% (e.g., 8.3% shall be rounded to 8.5%) and the
portion of the Award that is dependent upon Absolute Total Shareholder Return
shall be determined by linear interpolation.

The Relative Total Shareholder Return performance levels shall be as follows:

Threshold: 33rd percentile

Target : 51st percentile

High: 76th percentile or above

If Relative Total Shareholder Return falls between the 33rd percentile and the
51st percentile or between the 51st percentile and the 76th percentile, the
portion of the Award that is dependent upon Relative Total Shareholder Return
shall be determined by linear interpolation.

Following completion of the Performance Period, Strategic Plan Fulfillment shall
be determined by the Committee in its discretion, and the Committee shall
evaluate Strategic Plan Fulfillment on a scale of below 1 (below threshold), 1
(threshold), 2 (target) or 3 (high) or any fractional number between 1 and 3. If
the Committee determines that Strategic Plan Fulfillment is a fractional number
between 1 and 3, the portion of the Award that is dependent upon Strategic Plan
Fulfillment shall be determined by linear interpolation.

If the degree of achievement of any performance goal falls below threshold, the
portion of the Award that is dependent on that performance goal shall not be
paid.

4.3 Eligibility for, Timing and Form of Payment of Award. Except as provided in
Sections 4.5 and 4.6, the Participant must be employed by the Trust on the last
day of the Performance Period to receive an Award, and the Award shall be issued
as follows:

(a) as of the end of the Performance Period, the dollar amount earned pursuant
to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall be determined for each Participant;

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) the dollar amount for each Participant determined in subsection (a) shall be
converted into a number of Common Shares by dividing the dollar amount by the
closing price per share of Common Share on the January 1 following the end of
the Performance Period (or if such January 1 is not a trading day, the first
trading day preceding such January 1) on the exchange on which Common Shares are
traded; and

(c) in the year following the Performance Period by no later than the fifteenth
day of the third month following the end of the Performance Period, fifty
percent (50%) of the number of Common Shares for each Participant determined in
subsection (b) shall be issued in unrestricted (i.e., fully vested) Common
Shares and fifty percent (50%) of the number of Common Shares for each
Participant determined in subsection (b) shall be issued in Common Shares
subject to vesting as described in Section 4.4. All such Common Shares shall be
awarded under and in accordance with the Trust’s 2007 Omnibus Long Term
Incentive Plan.

4.4 Common Shares subject to Vesting. The Common Shares that are subject to
vesting as described in Section 4.3(c) (i.e., fifty (50%) percent of the
aggregate number of Common Shares in Section 4.3) shall vest only (a) if the
Participant remains employed by the Trust until December 31, 2014, (b) if during
the period from the last day of the Performance Period through December 31,
2014, the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Trust without Cause, or
the Participant resigns for Good Reason, Retires, dies or becomes subject to a
Disability while employed by the Trust, or a Change in Control occurs while the
Participant is employed by the Trust, or (c) if, and to the extent provided by,
Section 4.5 or 4.6.

4.5 Qualifying Termination during the Performance Period. If during the
Performance Period, the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Trust
without Cause, or the Participant resigns with Good Reason, Retires, dies or
becomes subject to a Disability while employed by the Trust, the Participant
shall receive an Award calculated based on (1) actual levels of achievement of
prorated performance goals as of the date of such event with respect to the
portion of the Award that is dependent on the degree of achievement of the
Absolute Total Shareholder Return and Relative Total Shareholder Return
performance goals and (2) the target performance level with respect to the
portion of the Award that is dependent on Strategic Plan Fulfillment. In either
case, the Award shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days
elapsed from the beginning of the Performance Period through the date the
Participant ceases to be an employee of the Trust bears to the total number of
days in the Performance Period. In such event, the number of Common Shares shall
be calculated based on the closing price per Common Share on the trading date
coinciding with (or if that is not a trading day, next following) such event in
lieu of the price described in Section 4.3(b), all of the Participant’s Common
Shares shall be fully vested, and the Common Shares shall be issued to the
Participant within thirty (30) days after such event; provided, however, if a
Participant is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code), the issuance shall occur six (6) months after the
Participant’s termination of employment (or if earlier and if permitted under
Section 409A, the date specified in Section 4.3(c)), except if the Participant
dies in which case the issuance shall occur within thirty (30) days after the
Participant’s death.

4.6 Change in Control during the Performance Period. If a Change in Control
occurs while the Participant is employed by the Trust during the Performance
Period, the Participant shall receive an Award calculated and determined in all
respects in a similar manner as described

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in Section 4.5, substituting for this purpose the date of the Change in Control
for the date of termination of employment; provided, however, that the Award
shall not be prorated as provided in the second sentence of Section 4.5 based on
the period of employment during the Performance Period through the date of the
Change in Control. In such event, the Common Shares issued to the Participant
with respect to such Performance Period shall be fully vested and the number of
Common Shares shall be calculated based on the closing price per Common Share on
the exchange on which Common Shares are traded on the trading day coinciding
with (or if that is not a trading day, immediately preceding) the date of the
Change in Control, or if Common Shares are no longer traded on an exchange as of
such date, based on the value determined by the Committee in its reasonable
discretion based on the actual or implied price paid in the Change in Control
transaction. The Award shall be issued on the date of the Change in Control.

4.7 Forfeiture. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, any Award that is
not vested as of the earlier of termination of employment or December 31, 2014
shall be forfeited.

ARTICLE V. MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Dividends on Unvested Shares. Dividends declared with respect to unvested
Common Shares shall be paid currently.

5.2 Tax Withholding. In order to satisfy applicable tax withholding, the Award
shall be reduced by that whole number of vested Common Shares which have a value
equal to the minimum amount of the required tax obligations imposed on the
Trust, and to the extent any remainder of the required tax withholding remains
unsatisfied because no fraction of a Common Share is reduced, the Trust shall
deduct the remainder from other cash payable to the Participant or if no cash is
payable to the Participant, the Trust may require the Participant to remit the
remainder.

5.3 Restrictions on Transfer. Except for the transfer by bequest or inheritance,
the Participant shall not have the right to make or permit to exist any transfer
or hypothecation, whether outright or as security, with or without
consideration, voluntary or involuntary, of all or any part of any right, title
or interest in or to an Award until such date as, and only to the extent that,
vested shares have been issued. Any such disposition not made in accordance with
this Plan shall be deemed null and void. Any permitted transferee under this
Section shall be bound by the terms of this Plan.

5.4 Change in Capitalization. The number and kind of shares issuable under this
Plan shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of the Trust’s
2007 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan.

5.5 Successors. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties.

5.6 Notice. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices and other
communications under this Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been given if personally delivered or if sent by registered or certified United
States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the
proposed recipient at the last known address of the

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

recipient. Any party may designate any other address to which notices shall be
sent by giving notice of the address to the other parties in the same manner as
provided herein.

5.7 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions or portion
thereof contained in this Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the same shall not invalidate or
otherwise affect any other provisions of this Plan, and this Plan shall be
construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion
thereof had never been contained herein.

5.8 No Right to Continued Retention. Neither the establishment of the Plan nor
the Award hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant the right to
continued service with the Trust.

5.9 Interpretation and IRC Section 409A. Section headings used herein are for
convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing this
Plan. Sections 1.1 through 1.3 are intended to introduce and summarize the Plan
only and shall not apply for purposes of determining a Participant’s rights
under the Plan. Termination of employment under the Plan shall be considered to
have occurred for purposes of Sections 4.4 and 4.5 only if the Participant has a
termination of employment that constitutes a “separation from service” within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is intended
to comply with Section 409A, and the Plan shall be interpreted in manner
consistent with such intent.

5.10 Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Committee reserves the right to
amend or terminate the Plan at any time, provided that no amendment shall
deprive a Participant of any Award that is earned up to the date of the
amendment or termination or result in the acceleration of any award payable
under the Plan if such acceleration would result in any Participants incurring a
tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

5.11 Governing Laws. The laws of the State of Maryland shall govern the Plan, to
the extent not preempted by federal law, without reference to the principles of
conflict of laws; provided, however, no Common Shares shall be issued except, in
the reasonable judgment of the Committee, in compliance with exemptions under
applicable securities laws.
