 Exhibit 10.2 
 MAXWELL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 
 9244 BALBOA
AVENUE 
 SAN DIEGO, CA 92123 
 Dear David: 
 Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you employment on the
following terms: 
 1. Position. Your title will be President & Chief Executive Officer, and you will report to the
Company’s Board of Directors. This is a full-time position. While you render services to the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity (whether full-time or part-time) that would create a
conflict of interest with the Company. By signing this letter agreement, you confirm to the Company that you have no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties for the Company. 

2. Board Seat. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause you to be nominated for election and reelection as a member of its
Board of Directors as long as you serve as its President & Chief Executive Officer. You agree that you will resign your position as a member of the Board of Directors if you cease to be the Company’s President & Chief
Executive Officer for any reason, unless the Board of Directors expressly requests your continuing service on the Board. 
 3. Salary.
The Company will pay you a starting salary at the rate of $400,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule. This salary will be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s employee compensation
policies in effect from time to time. 
 4. Bonus. You will be eligible to be considered for an incentive bonus for each fiscal year
of the Company. The bonus (if any) will be awarded based on objective or subjective criteria established by the Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee. Your target bonus will be equal to 100% of your annual base salary. The
bonus for fiscal year 2007 will be guaranteed at the target level but will be prorated, based on the number of days you are employed by the Company during that fiscal year. The bonus for a fiscal year will be paid after the Company’s books for
that year have been closed and will be paid only if you are employed by the Company at the time of payment. The determinations of the Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee with respect to your bonus will be final and
binding.

 5. Employee Benefits. As an executive officer of the Company, you will be eligible to
participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits. In addition, you will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, as in effect from time to time. 
 6. Stock Options. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, you will be granted an option to
purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The exercise price per share will be equal to the closing price on the date when the option is granted. The option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted
under the Company’s 2005 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement. You will vest in 25% of the option shares after 12 months of continuous service, and the balance
will vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of continuous service, as described in the applicable Stock Option Agreement. If the Company is subject to a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) before your service with the
Company terminates, and if you are subject to an Involuntary Termination (as defined in Section 14) within 12 months after that Change of Control, then you will vest in all of the option shares. 
 7. Restricted Shares. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, you will be granted 100,000
restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The award will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, as described in the Plan and the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement. You will vest in 25% of the shares after 12 months of
continuous service, and the balance will vest in equal quarterly installments over the next 36 months of continuous service, as described in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement. If the Company is subject to a Change of Control before your
service with the Company terminates, and if you are subject to an Involuntary Termination within 12 months after that Change of Control, then you will vest in all of the shares. 
 8. Severance Benefits. If the Company terminates your employment for any reason other than Cause (as defined in Section 14), then you will be
entitled to the following benefits: 
 (a) The Company will continue to pay your base salary for a period of 12 months after
the termination of your employment. Your base salary will be paid at the rate in effect when your employment terminates and in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures. If the Company determines that you are a “specified
employee” under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), when your employment terminates, then (i) the salary continuation payments under this Subsection (a), to the extent
not exempt from Section 409A of the Code, will commence on the earliest practicable date that occurs more than six months after the termination of your employment and (ii) the installments that otherwise would have been paid during the
first six months after the termination of your employment will be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month after the termination of your employment. The amount of the salary continuation payments under this Subsection (a) will
be reduced by the amount of any severance pay or pay in lieu of notice that you receive from the Company under a federal or state statute (including, without limitation, the WARN Act). 

 Mr. David Schramm

 (b) If you elect to continue your health insurance coverage under the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) following the termination of your employment, then the Company will pay the same portion of your monthly premium under COBRA as it pays for active employees until the earliest of (i) the
close of the 12-month period following the termination of your employment, (ii) the expiration of your continuation coverage under COBRA or (iii) the date when you become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in
connection with new employment or self-employment. 
 However, this Section 8 will not apply unless you (i) have returned all Company property in
your possession, (ii) have resigned as a member of the Boards of Directors of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, to the extent requested by the Board of Directors, and (iii) have executed a general release of all claims that you may
have against the Company or persons affiliated with the Company. The release must be in the form prescribed by the Company, without alterations. The Company will deliver the form to you within 30 days after your employment terminates. You must
execute the release within the period set forth in the prescribed form. 
 9. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. Like
all Company employees, you will be required, as a condition of your employment with the Company, to sign the Company’s standard Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 10. Employment Relationship. Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will
be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. Any contrary representations that may have been made to you are superseded by this letter agreement.
This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at
will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than you). 
 11. Taxes. All forms of compensation referred to in this letter agreement are subject to reduction to reflect applicable withholding and payroll taxes and other deductions required by law. You agree that the
Company does not have a duty to design its compensation policies in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities, and you will not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors related to tax liabilities arising from your
compensation. 
 12. Interpretation, Amendment and Enforcement. This letter agreement and Exhibit A constitute the complete
agreement between you and the Company, contain all of the terms of your employment with the Company and supersede any prior agreements, representations or understandings (whether written, oral or implied) between you and the 

 Mr. David Schramm 
 Page 4 
  

 
Company. This letter agreement may not be amended or modified, except by an express written agreement signed by both you and a duly authorized officer of the
Company. The terms of this letter agreement and the resolution of any disputes as to the meaning, effect, performance or validity of this letter agreement or arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with, this letter agreement, your
employment with the Company or any other relationship between you and the Company (the “Disputes”) will be governed by California law, excluding laws relating to conflicts or choice of law. You and the Company submit to the exclusive
personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Diego in connection with any Dispute or any claim related to any Dispute. 
 13. Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of this letter agreement and any and all claims relating to your employment with the Company will be settled by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration will take place in
San Diego or, at your option, the County in which you primarily worked when the arbitrable dispute or claim first arose. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of
Employment Disputes. Any award or finding will be confidential. You and the Company agree to provide one another with reasonable access to documents and witnesses in connection with the resolution of the dispute. You and the Company will share the
costs of arbitration equally, except that the Company will bear the cost of the arbitrator’s fee and any other type of expense or cost that you would not be required to bear if you were to bring the dispute or claim in court. Each party will be
responsible for its own attorneys’ fees, and the arbitrator may not award attorneys’ fees unless a statute or contract at issue specifically authorizes such an award. This Section 13 does not apply to claims for workers’
compensation benefits or unemployment insurance benefits. Injunctive relief and other provisional remedies will be available in accordance with Section 1281.8 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. 
 14. Definitions. The following terms have the meaning set forth below wherever they are used in this letter agreement: 
 “Cause” means (a) your unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets,
(b) your breach of any agreement between you and the Company, (c) your material failure to comply with the Company’s written policies or rules, (d) your conviction of, or your plea of “guilty” or “no contest”
to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any State, (e) your gross negligence or willful misconduct, (f) your continuing failure to perform assigned duties after receiving written notification of the failure from the
Company’s Board of Directors or (g) your failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation of the Company or its directors, officers or employees, if the Company has requested your cooperation. 
 “Involuntary Termination” means either (a) involuntary discharge by the Company for reasons other than Cause or (b) voluntary
resignation following (i) a change in your position with the Company that materially reduces your level of authority or responsibility, (ii) a reduction in your base salary by more than 10% or (iii) receipt of notice that your
principal workplace will be relocated more than 50 miles.

Maryland limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and
                                        
(“Grantee”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company and the Partnership maintain the First Amended and Restated Digital Realty Trust, Inc.,
Digital Services, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. 2004 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”); 
 WHEREAS, the Company and
the Partnership wish to carry out the Plan (the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement); 
 WHEREAS, Section 8.7 of the Plan provides for the issuance of Profits Interest Units to Eligible Individuals for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership in the Eligible Individual’s capacity as a
partner of the Partnership or in anticipation of the Eligible Individual becoming a partner of the Partnership; 
 WHEREAS, the Committee,
appointed to administer the Plan, has determined that it would be to the advantage and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to issue to the Grantee the Class C Profits Interest Units provided for herein (the
“Outperformance Award”) as an inducement to enter into or remain in the service of the Company, the Partnership, the Services Company or any Subsidiary, and as an additional incentive during such service, and has advised the Company
thereof; and 
 WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 18 below. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Issuance of Award. In consideration of Grantee’s agreement to
provide services to or for the benefit of the Partnership, effective as of the Effective Date, the Partnership hereby (a) grants to Grantee an Outperformance Award which represents
                     Class C Profits Interest Units of the Partnership (the “Class C Units”), and (b) if not already a
Partner, admits Grantee as a Partner of the Partnership, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Plan and in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership and Grantee acknowledge and agree that the Class C Units are hereby issued to the
Grantee for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership in his or her capacity as a partner of the Partnership or in anticipation of the Grantee becoming a partner of the Partnership. Upon receipt of the Outperformance
Award, Grantee shall, automatically and without further action on his or her part, be deemed to be a party to, signatory of and bound by the Partnership Agreement. At the request of the Partnership, Grantee shall execute the Partnership Agreement or
a counterpart signature page thereto. Grantee acknowledges that the Partnership from time to time may issue or cancel (or otherwise modify) Profits Interest Units in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. 

 2. Vesting; Restrictions on Transfer of Awards. 
 2.1 Vesting. 
 (a)
First Measurement Date – No Termination of Service. In the event that (i) the Performance Condition is satisfied as of the First Measurement Date with respect to any or all of the Class C Units and (ii) the Grantee remains a
Service Provider until at least May 1, 2010 or the Change in Control Date, as applicable, the Outperformance Award shall vest on May 1, 2010 or the Change in Control Date, as applicable, with respect to that number of Class C Units equal
to the product of (x) the number of Class C Units which satisfy the Performance Condition as of the First Measurement Date, and (y) the aggregate Service Condition Percentage as of May 1, 2010 or the Change in Control Date, as
applicable. Thereafter, provided that the Performance Condition has been satisfied with respect to some or all of the Class C Units on the First Measurement Date, then on each Service Date after May 1, 2010 on which the Grantee continues to be
a Service Provider, the Outperformance Award shall thereupon vest with respect to that number of additional Class C Units equal to the product of (x) the number of Class C Units which previously satisfied the Performance Condition on the First
Measurement Date, and (y) the incremental (not aggregate) Service Condition Percentage on such subsequent Service Date. 
 (b) First Measurement Date – Subsequent Termination of Service. In the event that (i) the Performance Condition is satisfied as of the First Measurement Date with respect to any or all of the Class C Units and (ii) the
Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider prior to May 1, 2010 or the Change in Control Date, as applicable, by reason of a Covered Termination, the Outperformance Award shall vest on May 1, 2010 or the Change in Control Date, as applicable,
with respect to that number of Class C Units equal to the product of (x) the number of Class C Units which satisfied the Performance Condition as of the First Measurement Date, and (y) the aggregate Service Condition Percentage as of the
date on which the Grantee ceased to be a Service Provider. 
 (c) Second Measurement Date or Change in Control. In the
event that the Performance Condition is satisfied as of the Second Measurement Date or Change in Control Date, as applicable, with respect to any or all of the Class C Units, the Outperformance Award shall vest on May 1, 2010 or the Change in
Control Date, as applicable, with respect to that number of Class C Units equal to the product of (x) the number of Class C Units which satisfy the Performance Condition as of the Second Measurement Date or Change in Control Date, as

that occurs prior to May 1, 2010 or the Change in Control Date, as applicable). Thereafter, provided that the Performance Condition has been satisfied with respect to some or all of the Class C Units on the Second Measurement Date, then on each
Service Date after May 1, 2010, on which the Grantee continues to be a Service Provider, the Outperformance Award shall thereupon vest with respect to that number of additional Class C Units equal to the product of (x) the number of Class
C Units which previously satisfied the Performance Condition on the Second Measurement Date, and (y) the incremental (not aggregate) Service Condition Percentage on such subsequent Service Date.

 2.2 Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the provisions in this Agreement regarding a Change in
Control shall only apply to the first Change in Control of the Company, and shall not apply to any Change in Control of the Company that occurs subsequent to the first Change in Control. 
 2.3 Without the consent of the Partnership (which it may give or withhold in its sole discretion), Grantee shall not sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate,
transfer, or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) any Unvested Units or any portion of the Outperformance Award attributable to such Unvested Units (or any securities into which the Unvested Units are converted or
exchanged), other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution (the “Transfer Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Transfer Restrictions shall not apply to any Transfer of Unvested Units or the
Outperformance Award to the Partnership or the Company. 
 2.4 The Outperformance Award and the Class C Units are subject to the terms of the
Plan and the terms of the Partnership Agreement, including, without limitation, the restrictions on transfer of Units (including Class C Units) set forth in Article 11 of the Partnership Agreement. Any permitted transferee of the Outperformance
Award or Class C Units shall take such Outperformance Award or Class C Units subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement, and the Partnership Agreement. Any such permitted transferee must, upon the request of the Partnership, agree to be bound
by the Plan, the Partnership Agreement, and this Agreement, and shall execute the same on request, and must agree to such other waivers, limitations, and restrictions as the Partnership or the Company may reasonably require. Any Transfer of the
Outperformance Award or Class C Units which is not made in compliance with the Plan, the Partnership Agreement and this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect.

 3. Cancellation and Forfeiture of Unvested Units. 
 3.1 Termination of Service. In the event that the Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason other than a Covered Termination, all
Unvested Units as of the date of termination (and the proportionate amount of the Grantee’s Capital Account balance attributable to the Class C Units) shall thereupon automatically and without further action be cancelled and forfeited by the
Grantee, and the Grantee shall have no further right or interest in or with respect to such Unvested Units (or such proportionate amount of the Grantee’s Capital Account balance) or the portion of the Outperformance Award attributable thereto.
In the event that the Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider by reason of a Covered Termination, all Class C Units which are not Service Condition Units as of the date of such termination (and the proportionate amount of the Grantee’s Capital
Account balance attributable to the Class C Units) shall thereupon automatically and without further action be cancelled and forfeited by the Grantee, and the Grantee shall have no further right or interest in or with respect to such Class C Units
(or such proportionate amount of the Grantee’s Capital Account balance) or the portion of the Outperformance Award attributable thereto. No portion of the Outperformance Award which does not constitute Service Condition Units as of the date on
which the Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider shall thereafter be deemed to constitute Service Condition Units. 
 3.2 Failure to
Satisfy Performance Condition. To the extent that any Class C Units fail to satisfy the Performance Condition as of the Second Measurement Date or the Change in Control Date, as applicable, such Class C Units (and the proportionate amount of the
Grantee’s Capital Account balance attributable to the Class C Units) shall thereupon automatically and without further action be cancelled and forfeited by the Grantee, and the Grantee shall have no further right or interest in or with respect
to such Class C Units (or such proportionate amount of the Grantee’s Capital Account balance) or the portion of the Outperformance Award attributable to such Class C Units. 
 3.3 Execution and Return of Documents and Certificates. At the Company’s or the Partnership’s request, Grantee hereby agrees to promptly
execute, deliver and return to the Partnership any and all documents or certificates that the Company or the Partnership deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the cancellation and forfeiture of the Unvested Units, the proportionate amount of
the Grantee’s Capital Account balance attributable to the Class C Units and the portion of the Outperformance Award attributable to the Unvested Units, or to effectuate the transfer or surrender such Unvested Units, Capital Account balance and
portion of the Outperformance Award to the Partnership. 
 4. Additional Payment if Performance Condition Units Exceed Class C Units.

 4.1 In the event that the Grantee remains a Service Provider until the Second Measurement Date and the number of Performance Condition
Units that satisfy the Performance Condition as of such Measurement Date plus the number of Performance Condition Units, if any, that satisfied the Performance Condition as of the First Measurement Date exceeds the number of Class C Units issued
pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement (such excess, the “Second Measurement Date Excess Performance Condition Units”), then, subject to the limits set forth in Article 3 of the Plan, the Company shall issue to the Grantee a
number of shares of Restricted Stock equal to the number of Second Measurement Date Excess Performance Condition Units. 

  

 4 

 
Such shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued to the Grantee as of the Second Measurement Date under the Plan at a purchase price equal to $0.01 per share.
Sixty-percent (60%) of such shares of Restricted Stock shall vest on May 1, 2010 and, subject to the Grantee’s continued status as a Service Provider, an additional 1/60th of such shares of Restricted Stock shall become vested on the date of each monthly anniversary thereafter; provided, however, that in the event that a Change in Control occurs after the Second Measurement Date
and the Grantee remains a Service Provider until the Change in Control Date, one hundred percent (100%) of such shares of Restricted Stock shall become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control. Consistent
with the foregoing, the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock shall be set forth in a Restricted Stock Award Agreement in a form prescribed by the Company which shall evidence the grant of the Restricted Stock. 
 4.2 In the event that (1) a Change in Control occurs prior to the Second Measurement Date and the Grantee remains a Service Provider until the
Change in Control Date, and (2) the number of Performance Condition Units that satisfy the Performance Condition as of the Change in Control Date plus the number of Performance Condition Units, if any, that satisfied the Performance Condition
as of the First Measurement Date exceeds the number of Class C Units issued pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement (such excess, the “Change in Control Excess Performance Condition Units”), then, subject to the limits set
forth in Article 3 of the Plan, the Company shall issue to the Grantee a number shares of fully vested Stock equal to the number of Change in Control Excess Performance Condition Units. Such shares of Stock shall be issued to the Grantee on or
immediately prior to the Change in Control Date under the Plan at a purchase price equal to $0.01 per share. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the terms and conditions of such Stock issuance shall be set forth in an Award Agreement in a
form prescribed by the Company which shall evidence the grant of the Stock. 
 4.3 In the event that the Grantee ceases to be a Service
Provider by reason of a Covered Termination on or after May 1, 2008 but prior to the Second Measurement Date or Change in Control Date, as applicable, and the number of Performance Condition Units that would otherwise have satisfied the
Performance Condition as of such Measurement Date or Change in Control Date, as applicable, had the Grantee remained a Service Provider plus the number of Performance Condition Units, if any, that satisfied the Performance Condition as of the First
Measurement Date exceeds the number of Class C Units issued pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement (such excess, the “Termination Excess Performance Condition Units”), then the Company shall issue to the Grantee a number
shares of fully vested Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of Termination Excess Performance Condition Units, and (y) the aggregate Service Condition Percentage as of the date of termination. As of the Second Measurement date, or
on or immediately prior to the Change in Control Date, as applicable, such shares of Stock shall be issued to the Grantee at a purchase price equal to $0.01 per share. The issuance of any shares pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be subject to
the availability of an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the terms and conditions of such Stock issuance shall be set forth in an Award Agreement in a form prescribed by
the Company which shall evidence the grant of the Stock. 
 4.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee’s right to receive shares of
Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 4.3 in the event that the Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider is conditioned on and subject to the Grantee’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims against the Company, the
Partnership and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.

 5. Determinations by Administrator. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, all determinations,
interpretations and assumptions relating to the vesting of the Outperformance Award (including, without limitation, determinations, interpretations and assumptions with respect to shareholder value, shareholder return, the Outperformance Award Pool
and the Outperformance Award Amount) shall be made by the Administrator and shall be applied consistently and uniformly to all similar Outperformance Awards granted under the Plan (including, without limitation, similar awards which provide for
payment in the form of cash or shares of Stock or Restricted Stock). In making such determinations, the Administrator may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers, or other persons, and the Administrator, the Board, the
Company, the Partnership and their officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator or the Board in
good faith and absent manifest error shall be final and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and all other interested persons. In addition, the Administrator, in its discretion, may adjust or modify the methodology for calculations relating to the
vesting of the Outperformance Award (including, without limitation, the methodology for calculating shareholder value, shareholder return, the Outperformance Award Pool and the Outperformance Award Amount), other than the Outperformance Award
Percentage, as necessary or desirable to account for events affecting the value of the Stock which, in the discretion of the Administrator, are not considered indicative of Company performance, which may include events such as the issuance of new
Stock, stock repurchases, stock splits, issuances and/or exercises of stock grants or stock options, and similar events, all in order to properly reflect the Company’s intent with respect to the performance objectives underlying the
Outperformance Award or to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available with respect to the Outperformance Award. 
 6. Representations, Warranties, Covenants, and Acknowledgments of Grantee. Grantee hereby represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges and agrees on behalf of Grantee and his or her spouse, if applicable,
that: 
 6.1 Investment. Grantee is holding the Outperformance Award and the Class C Units for Grantee’s own account, and not for
the account of any other Person. Grantee is holding the Outperformance Award and the Class C Units for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof except in compliance with applicable laws regulating securities. 
 6.2 Relation to Partnership. Grantee is presently an employee of, or consultant to, the Partnership, or is otherwise providing services to or for
the benefit of the Partnership, and in such capacity has become personally familiar with the business of the Partnership. 
 6.3 Access to
Information. Grantee has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Partnership with respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial
conditions, and results of operations of the Partnership. 
  

 6 

 6.4 Registration. Grantee understands that the Class C Units have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Class C Units cannot be transferred by Grantee unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The
Partnership has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of the Class C Units under the Securities Act. The Partnership has made no representations, warranties, or covenants whatsoever as to whether any
exemption from the Securities Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, will be available. If an exemption under Rule 144 is available at
all, it will not be available until at least one (1) year from issuance of the Outperformance Award and then not unless (a) a public trading market then exists in Class C Units (or a successor security thereto); (b) adequate
information as to the Partnership’s financial and other affairs and operations is then available to the public, and (c) all other terms and conditions of Rule 144 have been satisfied. 
 6.5 Public Trading. None of the Partnership’s securities is presently publicly traded, and the Partnership has made no representations,
covenants or agreements as to whether there will be a public market for any of its securities. 
 6.6 Tax Advice. The Partnership has
made no warranties or representations to Grantee with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to the decision of whether to make an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code), and Grantee is in no manner relying on the Partnership or its representatives for an assessment of such tax consequences. Grantee is advised to consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to such tax
consequences and his or her ownership of the Class C Units. 
 7. Capital Account. Grantee shall make no contribution of capital to
the Partnership in connection with the Outperformance Award and, as a result, Grantee’s Capital Account balance in the Partnership immediately after his or her receipt of the Class C Units shall be equal to zero, unless the Grantee was a
Partner in the Partnership prior to such issuance, in which case the Grantee’s Capital Account balance shall not be increased as a result of his or her receipt of the Class C Units. 
 8. Section 83(b) Election Permitted. In accordance with Section 15.13 of the Plan, in the event that the Grantee decides to make an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Outperformance Award and/or the Class C Units, the Company hereby consents to the making of such election. In the event that Grantee wishes to make such an election, the election must
be filed by Grantee with the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, the proper state taxing authorities, within thirty (30) days after the issuance of the Class C Units. Grantee shall promptly notify the Partnership if Grantee makes
such an election and shall provide a copy of such election to the Partnership. Grantee represents that Grantee is not relying on the Company or the Partnership with respect to such decision and has consulted any tax consultant(s) that Grantee deems
advisable in connection with the filing of an election under Section 83(b) of the Code and similar tax provisions. Grantee acknowledges that it is Grantee’s sole responsibility and not the Company’s or the Partnership’s to timely
file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, even if Grantee requests that the Company, the Partnership or any representative thereof make such filing on Grantee’s behalf.

 9. Redemption Rights. Notwithstanding the contrary terms in the Partnership Agreement, Partnership
Units which are acquired upon the conversion of the Class C Units shall not, without the consent of the Partnership (which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion), be redeemed pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Partnership Agreement within
two years of the date of the issuance of such Class C Units. 
 10. Ownership Information. Grantee hereby covenants that so long as
Grantee holds any Class C Units, at the request of the Partnership, Grantee shall disclose to the Partnership in writing such information relating to Grantee’s ownership of the Class C Units as the Partnership reasonably believes to be
necessary or desirable to ascertain in order to comply with the Code or the requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority. 
 11.
Taxes. The Partnership and the Grantee intend that (i) the Class C Units be treated as a “profits interest” as defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 93-27, as clarified by Internal Revenue Service Revenue
Procedure 2001-43, (ii) the issuance of such units not be a taxable event to the Partnership or the Grantee as provided in such revenue procedure, and (iii) the Partnership Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement be interpreted consistently
with such intent. In furtherance of such intent, effective immediately prior to the issuance of the Class C Units, the Partnership will cause the “Gross Asset Value” (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of all Partnership assets to be
adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, and make the resulting adjustments to the “Capital Accounts” (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the partners, in each case as set forth in the Partnership Agreement and
based upon a “Fair Market Value” (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) equal to the trading price on the New York Stock Exchange of the common stock of the Company at the time of such adjustment. The Company or the Partnership may
withhold from Grantee’s wages, or require Grantee to pay to the Partnership (including by surrender of shares or units), any applicable withholding or employment taxes resulting from the issuance of the Outperformance Award hereunder, from the
vesting or lapse of any restrictions imposed on the Outperformance Award, from the ownership or disposition of the Class C Units or from the issuance of Stock or Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 4. 
 12. Remedies. Grantee shall be liable to the Partnership for all costs and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, resulting from
a disposition of the Outperformance Award or the Class C Units which is in violation of the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantee agrees that the Partnership shall be entitled to obtain specific
performance of the obligations of Grantee under this Agreement and immediate injunctive relief in the event any action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce the same. Grantee will not urge as a defense that there is an adequate remedy at
law. 
 13. Unit Certificate Restrictive Legends. Certificates evidencing the Outperformance Award, to the extent such certificates
are issued, may bear such restrictive legends as the Partnership and/or the Partnership’s counsel may deem necessary or advisable under applicable law or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following legends:

 “The offering and sale of the securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as 

  

 8 

 
amended (the “Securities Act”). Any transfer of such securities will be invalid unless a Registration Statement under the Securities Act is in
effect as to such transfer or in the opinion of counsel for the Partnership such registration is unnecessary in order for such transfer to comply with the Securities Act.” 
 “The securities represented hereby are subject to forfeiture, transferability and other restrictions as set forth in (i) a
written agreement with the Partnership, (ii) the Digital Realty Trust, Inc., Digital Services, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. 2004 Incentive Award Plan and (iii) the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of
Digital Realty Trust, L.P., dated as of April 10, 2007, in each case, as may be amended from time to time, and such securities may not be sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to the provisions of such documents.” 
 14. Restrictions on Public Sale by Grantee. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, the Grantee agrees not to effect any sale or
distribution of the Class C Units or any similar security of the Company or the Partnership, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
during the 14 days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Partnership or the Company (except as part of such registration), if and to the extent requested in writing by the
Partnership or the Company in the case of a non-underwritten public offering or if and to the extent requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters and consented to by the Partnership or the Company, which consent may be given or
withheld in the Partnership’s or the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, in the case of an underwritten public offering (such agreement to be in the form of lock-up agreement provided by the managing underwriter or underwriters).

 15. Conformity to Securities Laws. Grantee acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent
necessary with all provisions of all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder, including without limitation the applicable exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or other governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the
Partnership or the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Outperformance Award of Class C Units is made, only in such a manner as to
conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan, this Agreement and the Outperformance Award shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. 

16. Code Section 409A. Neither the Outperformance Award nor the Class C Units are intended to constitute or provide for “nonqualified
deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if at any time the Committee determines that the
Outperformance Award or the Class C Units may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee 

  

 9 

 
may adopt such amendments to this Agreement or take such other actions (including amendments and actions with retroactive effect) as the Committee determines
are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Outperformance Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Outperformance Award, or (b) comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance. 
 17. Miscellaneous. 
 17.1 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit
of, the executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, including, without limitation, any business entity that succeeds to the business of the Partnership. 
 17.2 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, together with the Plan and the Partnership Agreement, constitutes the entire
agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this
Agreement supersedes the provisions of the Plan or any employment agreement, employment offer letter or similar agreement between the Grantee and the Company and/or the Partnership that would otherwise accelerate the vesting of the Outperformance
Award and the Class C Units, and any provision in the Plan or such agreement or letter which would otherwise accelerate such vesting shall have no force or effect with respect to the Outperformance Award or the Class C Units. In the event that the
provisions of such other agreement or letter conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Except as set forth in Section 16 above, this Agreement may not be amended except
in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto and approved by the Committee. No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound
thereby. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly
provided. 
 17.3 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in
Section 6 hereof shall survive the later of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance of the Outperformance Award. 
 17.4 Severability. If for any reason one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to herein, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then
to the maximum extent permitted by law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument. 
  

 10 

 17.5 Titles. The titles, captions or headings of the Sections herein are inserted for convenience
of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 17.6
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any of which may be executed and transmitted by facsimile, and each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one
and the same instrument. 
 17.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California applicable to contracts entered into and wholly to be performed within the State of California by California residents, without regard to any otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law.

Stock on such Measurement Date (or on the last trading day preceding such Measurement Date if such Measurement Date does not fall on a trading day) as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (or on the principal national securities exchange on which
the Stock is then listed) (the “Measurement Date Stock Price”); provided, however, that 
  

 12 

 (I) in no event will the Performance Condition be deemed to be satisfied as of the First

 In no event shall the Performance Condition be deemed satisfied, or the Outperformance Award be deemed vested, with respect to more Class

satisfied as of the Change in Control Date with respect to that number of Class C Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Outperformance Award Amount, by (y) the price per share of Stock paid by the acquiror in the Change
in Control transaction; provided, however, that the Performance Condition shall be deemed to be satisfied as of the Change in Control Date, if at all, only to the extent of the excess of (x) the number of Class C Units otherwise
calculated pursuant to this clause (ii) as of the Change in Control Date, over (y) the number of First Measurement Date Performance Condition Units, if any. In no event shall the Performance Condition be deemed satisfied, or the
Outperformance Award be deemed vested, with respect to more Class C Units than 100% of the number of Class C Units issued pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement. No portion of the Outperformance Award which does not satisfy the Performance
Condition as of the Change in Control Date shall thereafter be deemed to satisfy the Performance Condition (including, without limitation, under clause (i) of this paragraph (l)). 
 (n) “Performance Condition Units” means the number of Class C Units, if any, with respect to which the Performance Condition is
satisfied as of any given Measurement Date or the Change in Control Date, as applicable.

the relevant Measurement Date (or ending on the Change in Control Date in the event that a Change in Control occurs prior to the Second Measurement Date). 
 (p) “Second Measurement Date” means May 1, 2010; provided, however, that in the event that during any period of 60 consecutive calendar days ending prior to May 1, 2010, the amount of
the Outperformance Award Pool, if calculated as of each trading day during such period, equals or exceeds $40,000,000 on each such trading day, then the Second Measurement Date shall instead be the last day of such 60 calendar day period.

 (q) “Service Condition Percentage” means, subject to
Grantee’s continued status as a Service Provider on the applicable Service Date, a percentage equal to sixty percent (60%) as of May 1, 2010 and one and two-thirds percent (1 2/

Service Provider until the Change in Control Date, the Service Condition Percentage shall be one hundred percent (100%) as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control; provided, further, that in the event of a
Covered Termination, the Service Condition Percentage means, subject to Grantee’s continued status as a Service Provider on the applicable Service Date, a percentage equal to twenty percent (20%) as of May 1, 2008 and one and
two-thirds percent (1 2/3%) as of the date of each monthly anniversary thereafter. 

(r) “Service Condition Units” means, as of any given date, that number of Class C Units equal to the product of (x) the total
number of Class C Units issued pursuant to this Agreement and (y) the aggregate Service Condition Percentage as of such date.

 (t) “Service Provider” means an Employee, Consultant or member of the Board. For purposes of this Agreement, a Grantee who is both an
Employee and a member of the Board shall not cease to be a Service Provider unless and until his or her status as both an Employee and Board member has terminated. In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Grantee shall not
cease to be a Service Provider in the case of a termination of the Grantee’s employment or directorship where there is established a continuing consulting relationship between the Grantee and the Company, the Partnership, the Services Company
or any Subsidiary. 
 (u) “Share Value” means the average of the closing trading prices of a share of Stock on the
principal exchange on which such shares are then traded for each trading day during the thirty consecutive calendar days ending on the relevant Measurement Date; provided, however, that in the event that a Change in Control occurs prior to
the Second Measurement Date, Share Value shall mean the price per share of Stock paid by the acquiror in the Change in Control transaction. 
 (v) “Threshold Value of Equity” means the sum of (i) the aggregate market value of the Stock and Units as of May 2, 2007 (calculated as the total number of shares of Stock 

  

 14 

 
and Units outstanding as of May 2, 2007 multiplied by the Base Price, and including in the number of shares of Stock outstanding for such purposes the
same number of Derivative Shares as were included when calculating the Excess Shareholder Value (pursuant to clause (x)(i) in the definition of Excess Shareholder Value)) increased at a simple annual rate of return equal to 12% during the
Performance Period, and (ii) the aggregate market value of new shares of Stock and Units issued by the Company or the Partnership during the Performance Period (calculated as the total number of shares of Stock and Units so issued multiplied by
the value of a share of Stock on the date of issuance) increased at a simple annual rate of return equal to 12% from the date of issue through the relevant Measurement Date or Change in Control Date, as applicable. For purposes of clarification,
when performing the above calculation, the simple annual rate of return shall not be compound, and shall mean that (for purposes of illustration) (i) assuming the First Measurement Date occurs on November 1, 2008, the total return to be
earned when calculating the Threshold Value of Equity shall be 18%, (ii) assuming the Second Measurement Date occurs on May 1, 2010, the total return to be earned when calculating the Threshold Value of Equity shall be 36% and
(iii) in the event of a Change in Control, the total return to be earned when calculating the Threshold Value of Equity shall be a pro rated based on the number of months elapsed. 
 (w) “Total Shareholder Return” means an amount equal to the Share Value as of the relevant Measurement Date or Change in Control Date,
as applicable, plus an amount that would have been realized if all cash dividends paid during the Performance Period on a share of Stock outstanding as of May 2, 2007 were reinvested in Stock on the applicable dividend payment date. 

(x) “Total Shareholder Return Threshold” means an amount equal to the Base Price, increased at a simple annual rate of return equal
to 12% during the Performance Period. 
 (y) “Unit” means a limited partnership unit of the Partnership. 
 (z) “Unvested Unit” means a Class C Unit that has not vested pursuant to Section 2 above and therefore continues to be subject to
cancellation and forfeiture pursuant to Section 3 hereof.
