EXHIBIT 4.3




JUNIPER NETWORKS, INC.




2008 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN




     1. Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its
Designated Subsidiaries with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock through accumulated payroll
deductions. The Company’s intention is to have the Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase
plan” under Section 423 of the Code (the “423(b) Plan”), although the Company makes no undertaking
nor representation to maintain such qualification. The provisions of the 423(b) Plan, accordingly,
will be construed so as to extend and limit Plan participation in a uniform and nondiscriminatory
basis consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. In addition, this Plan document
authorizes the grant of rights to purchase stock that do not qualify under Section 423(b) of the
Code (“Non-Section 423(b) Plan”) pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Board or
Committee designed to achieve tax, securities law or other Company compliance objectives in
particular locations outside the United States. Such references to the Plan include the 423(b) and
the Non-Section 423(b) Plan components.



     If grants are intended to be made under the Non-Section 423(b) Plan, they will be designated
as such at the time of grant.

          (a) Offering Periods. Any individual who is an Employee on a given Offering Date will
be eligible to participate in such Offering Period, subject to the requirements of Section 5.




          (b) Limitations. Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no
Employee will be granted an option under the Plan (i) to the extent that, immediately after the
grant, such Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant
to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary
of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%)

to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (as defined in Section 423 of the Code)
of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company accrues at a rate which exceeds
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the Fair Market Value of the
stock at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is
outstanding at any time.




     4. Offering Periods. The Plan will be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods
with a new Offering Period commencing on the first Trading Day on or after February 1 and August 1
each year, or on such other date as the Administrator will determine. The Administrator will have
the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof)
with respect to future offerings without stockholder approval if such change is announced at least
five (5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected
thereafter.



     5. Participation. An Employee may participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a) by
(i) submitting to the Company’s payroll office (or its designee), on or before a date prescribed by
the Administrator prior to an applicable Offering Date, a properly completed subscription agreement
authorizing payroll deductions in the form provided by the Administrator (which may be similar to



- 4 -









 







the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) for such purpose, or (ii) following an
electronic or other enrollment procedure prescribed by the Administrator. Participants in the
offering period under the Company’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ending on or about January
30, 2009 shall, on termination of such offering period, automatically be enrolled in the Offering
Period under this Plan commencing on the first Trading Day on or after February 1, 2009 at the same
contribution levels as last elected under the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.



     6. Payroll Deductions.



          (a) At the time a participant enrolls in the Plan pursuant to Section 5, he or she will elect
to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not
exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the
Offering Period. The Administrator, in its discretion, may decide that an Employee may submit
contributions to the Non-Section 
423(b) Plan by means other than payroll deductions. A
participant’s subscription agreement will remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless
terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.




          (b) Payroll deductions for a participant will commence on the first pay day following the
Offering Date and will end on the last pay day prior to the Exercise Date of such Offering Period
to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided
in Section 10 hereof.




          (c) All payroll deductions made for a participant will be credited to his or her account under
the Plan and will be withheld in whole percentages only. A participant may not make any additional
payments into such account.




          (d) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in
Section 10, or may decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by
(i) properly completing and submitting to the Company’s payroll office (or its designee), on or
before a date prescribed by the Administrator prior to an applicable Exercise Date, a new
subscription agreement authorizing the change in payroll deduction rate in the form provided by the
Administrator for such purpose, or (ii) following an electronic or other procedure prescribed by
the Administrator. If a participant has not followed such procedures to change the rate of payroll
deductions, the rate of his or her payroll deductions will continue at the originally elected rate
throughout the Offering Period and future Offering Periods (unless terminated as provided in
Section 10). The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, limit the nature and/or number of
payroll deduction rate changes that may be made by participants during any Offering Period. Any
change in payroll deduction rate made pursuant to this Section 6(d) will be effective as of the
first full payroll period following five (5) business days after the date on which the change is
made by the participant.




          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of
the Code and Section 3(b), a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%)
at any time during an Offering Period. Subject to Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b)
hereof, payroll deductions will recommence at the rate originally elected by the participant
effective as of the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the
following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.




- 5 -









 








          (f) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of
the Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision
for the Company’s or Employer’s federal, state, or any other tax withholding liability payable to
any authority, national insurance, social security or other tax withholding obligations, if any,
which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time,
the Company or the Employer may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s
compensation the amount necessary for the Company or the Employer to meet applicable withholding
obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or the Employer
any tax deductions or benefits attributable to the sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the
Employee.




     7. Grant of Option. On the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each Employee
participating in such Offering Period will be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date
during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of Common
Stock determined by dividing such Employee’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise
Date and retained in the Employee’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase
Price; provided that in no event will an Employee be permitted to purchase during any twelve (12)
month period more than six thousand (6,000) shares of the Common Stock (subject to any adjustment
pursuant to Section 19), and provided further that such purchase will be subject to the limitations
set forth in Sections 3(b) and 13. The Employee may accept the grant of such option with respect
to any Offering Period under the Plan, by electing to participate in the Plan in accordance with
the requirements of Section 5. The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or
decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that each
Employee may purchase during each Offering Period. Exercise of the option will occur as provided
in Section 8, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10. The option will expire
on the last day of the Offering Period.



     8. Exercise of Option.



          (a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10, his or her option
for the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date,
and the maximum number of full shares subject to option will be purchased for such participant at
the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No
fractional shares of Common Stock will be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a
participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a full share will be retained in the
participant’s account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the
participant as provided in Section 10. Any other funds left over in a participant’s account after
the Exercise Date will be returned to the participant. During a participant’s lifetime, a
participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.




          (b) If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares
of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on the Offering Date of the applicable
Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock available for sale under the Plan on
such Exercise Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that the Company will make
a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Offering Date or
Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as will be practicable and


- 6 -









 







as it will determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising
options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in
effect or terminate all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20. The Company may
make a pro rata allocation of the shares available on the Offering Date of any applicable Offering
Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares
for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Offering Date.




     9. Delivery. As soon as reasonably practicable after each Exercise Date on which a
purchase of shares of Common Stock occurs, the Company will arrange the delivery to each
participant the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option in a form determined by the
Administrator (in its sole discretion) and pursuant to rules established by the Administrator. No
participant will have any voting, dividend, or other stockholder rights with respect to shares of
Common Stock subject to any option granted under the Plan until such shares have been purchased and
delivered to the participant as provided in this Section 9.



     10. Withdrawal.



          (a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll deductions credited to
his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by
(i) submitting to the Company’s payroll office (or its designee) a written notice of withdrawal in
the form prescribed by the Administrator for such purpose (which may be similar to the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B), or (ii) following an electronic or other withdrawal
procedure prescribed by the Administrator. All of the participant’s payroll deductions credited to
his or her account will be paid to such participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal
and such participant’s option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and no
further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares will be made for such Offering Period. If a
participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions will not resume at the beginning
of the succeeding Offering Period, unless the participant re-enrolls in the Plan in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5.




          (b) A participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or
her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or
in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from
which the participant withdraws.




     11. Termination of Employment. Upon a participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible
Employee, for any reason, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and
the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not
yet used to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will be returned to such participant or,
in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15, and
such participant’s option will be automatically terminated.



     12. Interest. No interest will accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in
the Plan.



     13. Stock.



- 7 -









 





          (a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in
Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which will be made available for
sale under the Plan will be twelve million (12,000,000) shares.




          (b) Until the shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), a participant will only have the
rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares, and no right to vote or receive
dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to such shares.




          (c) Shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be registered
in the name of the participant or, at the sole discretion of the Company, in the name of the
participant and his or her spouse.




     14. Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Board or a Committee
appointed by the Board, which Committee will be constituted to comply with Applicable Laws. The
Administrator will have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply
the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under
the Plan. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Administrator will, to the full
extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary in this Plan, and, with respect to the Section 423(b) Plan, to the extent permissible
under Code Section 423 and proposed or final Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and other
Internal Revenue Service guidance), the Administrator may adopt rules or procedures relating to the
operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and
procedures for jurisdictions outside of the United States. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding
handling payroll deductions, making of contributions to the Plan, defining eligible Compensation,
establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions, conversion of local currency,
obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding
procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements.



     The Administrator may also adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular
Subsidiaries or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Code Section
423. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, but unless
otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the
operation of such sub-plan. To the extent inconsistent with the requirements of Section 423, such
sub-plan shall be considered part of the Non-Section 423(b) Plan, and rights granted thereunder
shall not be considered to comply with Code Section 423.



     15. Designation of Beneficiary.



          (a) At the sole discretion of the Administrator, a participant may file a designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, from the participant’s
account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on
which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of such shares and cash.
In addition, a participant may file a designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from
the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death prior





- 8 -












 




to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not
the spouse, spousal consent will be required for such designation to be effective.




          (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at any time by notice in
a form determined by the Administrator. In the event of the death of a participant and in the
absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such
participant’s death, the Company will deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or
administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been
appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such
shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant,
or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the
Company may designate.




          (c) All beneficiary designations will be in such form and manner as the Administrator may
designate from time to time.




     16. Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account
nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares of Common Stock under
the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by
will, the laws of descent and distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant.
Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will be without effect,
except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period
in accordance with Section 10 hereof.



     17. Use of Funds. The Company may use all payroll deductions received or held by it
under the Plan for any corporate purpose, and the Company will not be obligated to segregate such
payroll deductions. Until shares of Common Stock are issued, participants will only have the
rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares.



     18. Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan.
Statements of account will be given to participating Employees at least annually, which statements
will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares of
Common Stock purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.



     19. Adjustments, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Change in Control.



          (a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the
form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split,
reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the
corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order
to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made
available under the Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and
class of Common Stock which may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the
number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been
exercised, and the numerical limits of Sections 7 and 13.




- 9 -









 








          (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a New
Exercise Date, and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date
will be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator
will notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise
Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date
and that the participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless
prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10
hereof.




          (c) Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each
outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation
or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor
corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, the Offering Period with respect to
which such option relates will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date and will end on the New
Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date will occur before the date of the Company’s proposed merger
or Change in Control. The Administrator will notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10)
business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant’s option
has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant’s option will be exercised
automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn
from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.




     20. Amendment or Termination.



          (a) The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, or
any part thereof, at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that adding additional shares
available for sale under the Plan (other than pursuant to Section 19(a)) shall require stockholder
approval. If the Plan is terminated, the Administrator, in its discretion, may elect to terminate
all outstanding Offering Periods either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of shares of
Common Stock on the next Exercise Date (which may be sooner than originally scheduled, if
determined by the Administrator in its discretion), or may elect to permit Offering Periods to
expire in accordance with their terms (and subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19). If
the Offering Periods are terminated prior to expiration, all amounts then credited to participants’
accounts which have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be returned to the
participants (without interest thereon, except as otherwise required under local laws) as soon as
administratively practicable.




          (b) Without stockholder consent and without limiting Section 20(a), the Administrator will be
entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount
withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in
a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated
by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly
completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or
accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common
Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from



- 10 -









 






the participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the
Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan.




          (c) In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may
result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Administrator may, in its discretion

eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to:




               (i) amending the Plan to conform with the safe harbor definition under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 123(R), including with respect to an Offering Period underway at the time;



               (ii) altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway
at the time of the change in Purchase Price;



               (iii) shortening any Offering Period by setting a New Exercise Date, including an Offering
Period underway at the time of the Administrator action;



               (iv) reducing the maximum percentage of Compensation a participant may elect to set aside as
payroll deductions; and



               (v) reducing the maximum number of shares a participant may purchase during any Offering
Period.



     Such modifications or amendments will not require stockholder approval or the consent of any
Plan participants.



     21. Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company
under or in connection with the Plan will be deemed to have been duly given when received in the
form and manner specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the
Company for the receipt thereof.



     22. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares of Common Stock will not be issued
with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such
shares pursuant thereto will comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign,
including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the
shares may then be listed, and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company
with respect to such compliance.



     As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising
such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares

during which I purchased such shares) or one (1) year after the Exercise Date, I will be treated
for federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition

that I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received income only at the time
of such disposition, and that such income will be taxed as ordinary income only to the extent of an

reimbursement of taxes as a precondition to my participation in the Plan, the grant of any option,
or the exercise of the option on my behalf and I agree to execute any additional documents
requested by the Company or Indian Subsidiary in connection with my FBT or other tax reimbursement
obligation.
