Re: Recommendation to Board
Dear Ms. Caires:
Juniper Networks hereby confirms that in the next fiscal year it will recommend to its Board that the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) be amended so that the Plan Minimum Vesting Requirements, which provide for a 1 year full vesting restriction for performance based Full Value Awards and 3 year full vesting restriction for non-performance based (i.e. service-based) Full Value Awards, as defined in the Plan and described in Sections 4(b)(vi) and 4(d) thereof are specifically cross-referenced in Sections 12, 13, 14 and 16 of the Plan as limitations on vesting applicable to Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Deferred Stock Units, as applicable.
     
Very truly yours,
