Data Domain, Inc. 2007 Bonus Plan

 Exhibit 10.9 
 DATA DOMAIN, INC. 2007 BONUS PLAN 
 1. Effective Date and Term. This 2007 Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors of Data Domain, Inc. (the “Company”) on January 9, 2007. The Plan is effective for fiscal year 2007. The
Plan is for the benefit of individuals who are officers of the Company (the “Officers”). Any other bonus plan applicable to Officers is hereby terminated. 
 2. Administration. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) shall administer the Plan and adopt rules and regulations to implement the Plan. The decisions of the
Committee are final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan. 
 3. Eligibility. Participation in the Plan is
limited to Officers. Participation in the Plan is effective on the day the participant starts in a bonus-eligible job. Participants must be employed in a bonus-eligible position before the first day of the last month of the fiscal quarter to be
eligible to participate in the Plan for that fiscal quarter. Bonus payments will be prorated for participants who become eligible after the start of a fiscal quarter or for participants who are on a leave of absence or sabbatical for all or part of
a fiscal quarter. A participant may be removed from the Plan at any time and for any reason, at the Company’s discretion, regardless of whether he or she remains an officer or employee of the Company. 
 4. Determination of Amounts. The Plan may provide a quarterly cash bonus that is paid based on the achievement of pre-determined Company
performance objectives and individual performance factors. The amount of each participant’s quarterly bonus is determined as follows: 
 (a) An annual target bonus amount is assigned to the participant by the Committee as soon as reasonably practicable after the beginning of a fiscal year or, if later, at the time of his or her hiring. The annual
target bonus amount shall be a percentage of base salary and may be modified from time to time thereafter by the Committee. The quarterly target bonus amount is equal to 25% of the annual target bonus amount. 
 (b) The quarterly bonus is determined on the basis of plan achievement, and with respect to each participant may be based on revenue
and/or sales as determined by the Committee. 
 (c) Calculation of quarterly bonuses will be based on percentage of plan
achievement (revenue or sales as applicable). Payouts of bonuses will begin paying at 80% plan achievement and scale linearly to 100% at 100% plan achievement. Over-achievement of goals beyond 100% accelerates bonus payout at the rate of 2:1, that
is, for every 1% overachievement the bonus accelerates by 2% of the total bonus amount.

 (d) When the actual amount of plan achievement for a fiscal quarter has been determined,
the achievement score is calculated. This score is multiplied by each participant’s quarterly target bonus amount. The result is the participant’s tentative quarterly bonus, based on financial measures (the “Tentative Bonus”).

 (e) After the close of each fiscal quarter, the Committee at its discretion may increase or reduce any Tentative Bonus,
based on criteria other than revenue and sales (including the Company’s achievement of its financial plan in areas other than sales or revenue, particularly operating profit and gross margins, and the individual’s achievement of quarterly
objectives). 
 (f) The Committee may adjust the amount of the Company’s quarterly revenue or sales figures to exclude
extraordinary items. 
 5. Payment of Bonuses. Payment of the quarterly cash bonus (if any) is targeted for the payroll date following
each of March 31, June 30, October 31 and December 31. Adjustments to this payment schedule may be made as business conditions require. 
 6. Employment Requirement. The participant must be employed by the Company at the time of the bonus payment to receive the quarterly cash bonus. 
 7. Modification or Termination of the Plan. The Committee reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate this Plan at any time. Should an
acquisition or significant business initiative change the operating plan, this Plan may be modified or a new plan may go into effect at the start of the fiscal quarter following the event. 
 8. Benefits Unfunded. No amounts awarded or accrued under this Plan will be funded, set aside or otherwise segregated prior to payment. The
obligation to pay the bonuses awarded hereunder will at all times be an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. Plan participants will have the status of general creditors and must look solely to the general assets of the Company for the
payment of their bonus awards. 
 9. Benefits Nontransferable. No Plan participant will have the right to alienate, pledge or encumber
his or her interest in this Plan, and such interest will not (to the extent permitted by law) be subject in any way to the claims of the participant’s creditors or to attachment, execution or other process of law. 
 10. No Employment Rights. No action of the Company in establishing the Plan, no action taken under the Plan by the Committee and no provision of
the Plan itself will be construed to grant any person the right to remain in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries for any period of specific duration. Rather, each employee is employed “at will,” which means that either the
employee or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

 Dear Frank:

 Data Domain, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you employment on the following terms: 
 1. Position. Your title will be Chief Executive Officer and President, and you will report to the Board of Directors. This is a full-time position.
The Company will use all reasonable efforts to cause you (a) to be elected as a member of its Board of Directors as soon as practicable after your employment as President and Chief Executive Officer commences and (b) to be reelected as a
member of its Board as long as your employment as President and Chief Executive Officer continues. 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. Cash Compensation. The Company will pay you a starting salary at the rate of
$250,000 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. 
 3. Employee Benefits. As a regular employee 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. 
 4.
Stock Options. Subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, you will be granted an option to purchase 1,743,536 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Option”),
which is 8% of Fully Diluted (as defined below). The exercise price per share will be equal to the fair market value per share on the date the Option is granted or on your first day of employment, whichever is later. The Option will be subject to
the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Company’s 2002 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), as described in the Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement. The Option will be immediately exercisable, but the unvested
portion of the purchased shares will be subject to repurchase by the Company at the exercise price in the event

that your service terminates for any reason before you vest in the shares. 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 in Control before your service with the Company terminates and you are subject to an Involuntary Termination following such Change in Control, then the then unvested shares
subject to the Option will immediately become vested. 
 “Fully Diluted” means the sum of (a) outstanding capital stock of the
Company and the Company’s outstanding options and warrants and other convertible securities and instruments (assuming the conversion or exercise of any convertible or exercisable options, warrants, securities or other instruments then
outstanding, whether or not currently convertible or exercisable, and including this option) and (b) the number of shares reserved under any compensatory stock plan adopted by the Company and not yet issued or subject to an outstanding option,
both as of the date of your commencement of employment. 
 “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 such that your commuting distance to your new office increases by more than 35 miles. 
 “Cause” means (a) an unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets, (b) a material
failure to comply with the Company’s written policies or rules, (c) conviction of, or plea of “guilty” or “no contest” to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, or (d) gross misconduct.
The foregoing, however, is not an exclusive list of all acts or omissions that the Company may consider as grounds for discharging you without Cause. 
 5. 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. 
 6. 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 offer. 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 member of the Board of Directors of the
Company.

 7. Severance Pay. If the Company terminates your employment for any reason other than Cause or
Permanent Disability, then the Company will continue to pay your base salary for a period of six months following the termination of your employment and you will be vested in your Option as if you had completed an additional six months of
employment. Your base salary will be paid at the rate in effect at the time of the termination of your employment and in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures. However, this Paragraph 7 will not apply unless you
(a) resign as a member of the boards of director of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, to the extent applicable, (b) sign a general release of claims (in a form prescribed by the Company) of all known and unknown claims that you may
then have against the Company or persons affiliated with the Company and (c) have returned all Company property. 
 8. Outside
Activities. While you render services to the Company, you agree that you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business activity without the prior written consent of the Company. While you render services to the Company,
you also will not assist any person or entity in competing with the Company, in preparing to compete with the Company or in hiring any employees or consultants of the Company. 
 9. Withholding 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. 
 10. Entire Agreement. This letter agreement supersedes and replaces any
prior agreements, representations or understandings, whether written, oral or implied, between you and the Company. 
 * * * * * 

We hope that you will accept our offer to join the Company. You may indicate your agreement with these terms and accept this offer by signing and
dating both the enclosed duplicate original of this letter agreement and the enclosed Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement and returning them to me. This offer, if not accepted, will expire at the close of business on June 18, 2003.
