PART I

ITEM 1. Business

Overview

Juniper Networks designs, develops and sells products and services for high-performance networks to enable customers to build scalable, reliable, secure and cost-effective networks for their businesses, while achieving agility and improved operating efficiency through automation. We sell our products in more than 150 countries in three geographic regions: Americas; Europe, Middle East, and Africa, which we refer to as EMEA; and Asia Pacific, which we refer to as APAC. We sell our high-performance network products and service offerings across routing, switching, and security technologies. In addition to our products, we offer our customers services, including maintenance and support, professional services, and education and training programs.

Our products and services address high-performance network requirements for our customers within our verticals: Cloud, Service Provider, and Enterprise who view the network as critical to their success. We believe our silicon, systems, and software represent innovations that transform the economics and experience of networking, helping our customers achieve superior performance, greater choice, and flexibility, while reducing overall total cost of ownership.

We were incorporated in California in 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1998. Our corporate headquarters are located in Sunnyvale, California. Our website address is www.juniper.net.

Strategy

We deliver highly scalable, reliable, secure and cost-effective networks, while transforming the network's agility, efficiency, and value through automation.

We believe the network needs for our customers in our Cloud, Service Provider, and Enterprise verticals are converging as these customers recognize the need for high-performance networks and are adopting cloud architectures for their infrastructure and service delivery, such as large public and private data centers and service provider edge data centers, for improved agility and greater levels of operating efficiency. We believe this industry trend presents an opportunity for Juniper Networks, and we have focused our strategy on enabling our customers' transition to cloud architectures through the following strategic priorities:

Power Public and Private Cloud Data Centers

We are focused on continuing to power public and private cloud data centers with high performance infrastructure. These data centers are the core of cloud transformation by enabling service delivery in a multicloud environment, which is a combination of public cloud, private cloud, and Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS delivery. We believe we are a recognized leader in networking innovation in both software and hardware. Our Junos Operating System, or Junos OS, application-specific integrated circuits, or ASIC, technology, and management and automation software investments across routing, switching, and security will continue

Table of Contents

to be key elements to maintaining our technology leadership and transforming the economics and experience of our public and private cloud customers.

Connect Users and Devices Securely to the Cloud and to Each Other

In developing our solutions, we strive to design and build best-in-class products and solutions for core, edge, and metro networking infrastructure for connecting user and devices securely to the cloud and to each other. Cloud providers and Service Providers have deployed our product offerings in their wide area networks, or WAN, such as our highly efficient IP transport PTX product which can cost effectively manage incredible capacity from their end users to the data centers from which they deliver the value to those customers. We are committed to continued investment in cost effective and high-performance IP transport platforms and automation software, which forms the basis of these high-performance networks.

Build and Manage Distributed Clouds

Our Service Provider customers are increasingly investing in the build-out of high-performance networks and the transformation of existing legacy infrastructure to distributed cloud environments, which resides in multiple, distributed data centers in order to place applications and services closer to end users, such as enabling managed security and low-latency applications. We are committed to this transformation as our Service Provider customers rearchitect their infrastructure to enable next generation mobile network build-outs, or 5G, and Internet of Things, or IoT, service delivery close to their end users. We believe our history of experience in both cloud and WAN architecture positions us well to partner with our Service Provider customers in their strategic transformation initiatives.

Cloud-Delivered Enterprise

Enterprises are consuming more value-as-a-service, where value is delivered in the form of cloud-based software and services. We have introduced cloud management and security products which enable enterprises to consume cloud infrastructure and services securely. We believe the transition to SaaS presents an opportunity for Juniper to come to market with innovative network and security solutions for our Enterprise customers which facilitate their transition to cloud architectures.

We believe our understanding of high performance networking technology and cloud architecture, and our strategy, position us to capitalize on the industry transition to more automated, cost-efficient, scalable networks.

Customer Verticals

We sell our high-performance network products and service offerings through direct sales; distributors; value-added resellers, or VARs; and original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, to end-users in the following verticals: Cloud, Service Provider, and Enterprise. In 2018, we revised the naming convention of our key customer verticals as follows and a summary of the types of customers included in our verticals is discussed below.


•	Telecom/Cable is now referred to as ‘Service Provider’


•	Strategic Enterprise is now referred to as ‘Enterprise’


•	Cloud remains unchanged

Further, we believe our networking infrastructure offerings benefit our key customers by:


•	Reducing capital and operational costs by running multiple services over the same network using our secure, high density, highly automated, and highly reliable platforms;


•	Creating new or additional revenue opportunities by enabling new services to be offered to new market segments, which includes existing customers and new customers, based on our product capabilities;


•	Increasing customer satisfaction, while lowering costs, by enabling customers to self-select automatically provisioned service packages that provide the quality, speed, and pricing they desire;


•	Providing increased asset longevity and higher return on investment as our customers' networks can scale to higher throughput based on the capabilities of our platforms;

Table of Contents


•	Offering network security across every environment—from the data center to campus and branch environments to assist in the protection and recovery of services and applications; and


•	Offering operational improvements that enable cost reductions, including lower administrative, training, customer care, and labor costs.

The following is an overview of the trends affecting the market in which we operate by each of our customer verticals. We believe the networking needs for each of our customers will eventually result in cloud-based network architectures for improved agility and greater levels of operating efficiency.

Cloud

Our Cloud vertical includes companies that are heavily reliant on the cloud for their business model’s success. Customers in the Cloud vertical can include cloud service providers such as the largest public cloud providers, which we refer to as hyperscalers, and Tier-2 cloud providers, as well as enterprises that provide SaaS; infrastructure-as-a-service; or platform-as-a-service.

Cloud providers continue to grow as more organizations take advantage of public infrastructure to run their business. As their businesses grow, we expect they will continue to invest in their networks, which dictates the quality and experience of the products and the services they deliver to their end-customers. Further, as cloud providers begin to early adopt new network technologies, such as the transition to 400-gig Ethernet, this will present further opportunities for Juniper across our portfolio as our cloud customers value high-performance, highly compact, power efficient infrastructures which we support and continue to develop.

In addition, SaaS continues to be an important factor for cloud providers as their customers, such as enterprises, prefer to consume and procure product and service offerings via SaaS models. As a result, we believe that SaaS providers will invest in high performance infrastructure because the quality of experience has proven just as important competitively as software features and functions. Lastly, as a result of new regulations and the need for lower latency and high-performance networking, cloud providers are transitioning to regional network build-outs or distributed cloud environments to address the increasing demand for services, data privacy, data protection, and consumer rights.

As Cloud customers are pushing the envelope in networking, our focus on collaboration combined with networking innovation around automation has made us a strategic partner with these customers, helping them develop high-performance and lower total cost of ownership networking solutions to support their business.

Service Provider

Our Service Provider vertical includes wireline and wireless carriers and cable operators, and we support most of the major carrier and operator networks in the world with our high performance network infrastructure offerings. In recent years, we have seen increased convergence of these different types of customers through acquisitions, mergers, and partnerships.

Service Provider customers recognize the need for high-performance networks and leveraging the cloud to reduce costs from their network operations. This is dictating a change in business models and their underlying infrastructure, which we believe requires investment in the build-out of high-performance networks and the transformation of existing legacy infrastructure to distributed cloud environments in order to satisfy the growth in mobile traffic and video as a result of the increase in mobile device usage including smartphones, tablets, and connected devices of various kinds.

We expect that Network Function Virtualization, or NFV, and software-defined networking, or SDN, will be critical elements to enable our Service Provider customers the flexibility to support enhanced mobile video and dynamic new service deployments. We are engaging with these customers to transition their operations to essentially next-generation cloud operations as the need for a highly efficient infrastructure to handle large amounts of data along with low latency, or minimal delay, plays into the need to have a high performance, scalable infrastructure in combination with the automation and flexibility required to drive down operational costs and rapidly provision applications. We consistently deliver leading technologies that transform the economics and experience of networking-significantly improving customer economics by lowering the capital expenditures required to build networks and the operating expenses required to manage and maintain them.

In addition to reducing operating costs, Service Providers are seeking to create new or additional revenue opportunities to support their evolving business models. These customers are preparing for 5G, which we expect to begin to occur over the next few years, and IoT, which we believe will give rise to new services like connected cars, smart cities, robotic manufacturing, and agricultural transformation. 5G and IoT will require a highly distributed cloud data center architecture from which services are delivered to the end users and will involve a great degree of analytics and embedded security. We expect this trend will present further

opportunities for Juniper with our focus on delivering a strong portfolio of network virtualization and software-based orchestration solutions, which position us to deliver on the automation and agility requirements needs of Service Providers.

Enterprise

Our high-performance network infrastructure offerings are designed to meet the performance, reliability, and security requirements of the world's most demanding enterprises. We offer enterprise solutions and services for data centers as well as branch and campus applications. Our Enterprise vertical includes enterprises not included in the Cloud vertical. In particular, they are industries with high performance, high agility requirements, including financial services; national, federal, state, and local governments; as well as research and educational institutions. We believe that our Enterprise customers are able to deploy our solutions as a powerful component in delivering the advanced network capabilities needed for their leading-edge applications.

We believe that as our Enterprise customers continue to transition their workloads to the cloud, they continue to seek greater flexibility in how they consume networking and security services, such as pay-per-use models. Additionally, Enterprises are deploying multicloud architectures which require end-to-end solutions for managing, orchestrating, and securing distributed cloud resources as a single pool of resources. Also, we are increasingly seeing a convergence of networking and security, resulting in security becoming an embedded capability in each and every solution that we offer to our customers.

High-performance enterprises require IP networks that are global, distributed, and always available. We are innovating in key technology areas to meet the needs of our Enterprise customers whether they plan to move to a public cloud architecture or hybrid cloud architecture (which is a mix of public and private cloud, as well as a growing number of SaaS applications). In 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues.

Products, Services, and Technology

Early in our history, we developed, marketed, and sold the first commercially available purpose-built IP backbone router optimized for the specific high-performance requirements of telecom and cable operators. As the need for core bandwidth continued to increase, the need for service-rich platforms at the edge of the network was created.

We have expanded our portfolio to address multiple domains in the network: core; edge; access and aggregation; data centers; and campus and branch. We have systematically focused on how we innovate in silicon, systems, and software (including our Junos OS and virtual network functions, or VNF) such as firewall, network orchestration, and automation to provide a range of hardware and software solutions in high-performance, secure networking.

Further, our intent is to expand our software business by introducing new software solutions to our product portfolio that simplify the operation of networks, and allow our customers across our key verticals, flexibility in consumption and deployment. Our software offerings include subscription arrangements and perpetual licenses. We believe our software revenues as a percentage of total revenues will increase over time as we introduce new software product offerings and business models designed to better monetize the value of our software offerings.

We conduct business globally and are managed, operated, and organized by major functional departments that operate on a consolidated basis. As a result, we operate in one reportable segment. The following is an overview of our principal product families and service offerings in 2018 :

This process is designed to provide a framework for defining and addressing the steps, tasks, and activities required to bring product concepts and development projects to market.

Sales and Marketing

As of December 31, 2018 , we employed 2,425 people in our worldwide sales and marketing organization. These sales and marketing employees operate in different locations around the world in support of our customers.

Our sales organization, with its structure of sales professionals, business development teams, systems engineers, marketing teams, channel teams, and an operational infrastructure team are generally distributed between vertical markets. Within each team, sales team members serve the following three geographic regions: (i) Americas (including United States, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean and Central and South America), (ii) EMEA, and (iii) APAC. Within each region, there are regional and country teams, as well as vertical market focused teams, to ensure we operate close to our customers.

Our sales teams operate in their respective regions and generally either engage customers directly or manage customer opportunities through our distribution and reseller relationships as described below.

We sell to a number of Cloud and Service Provider customers directly. Otherwise, we sell to all of our key customer verticals primarily through distributors and resellers.

In 2019, we transitioned our sales organization to better align our sales strategy to each of our customer verticals. We believe the alignment of our sales leadership and product management teams across our customer verticals will position us for improved sales force productivity in late 2019 and position Juniper to better capitalize on our end market opportunities in the long-term.

Direct Sales Structure

The terms and conditions of direct sales arrangements are governed either by customer purchase orders and our order acknowledgment terms for those orders or by purchase contracts. The direct contracts with these customers set forth only general terms of sale and generally do not require customers to purchase specified quantities of our products. We directly receive and process customer purchase orders.

Table of Contents

Channel Sales Structure

A critical part of our sales and marketing efforts are our channel partners through which we conduct the majority of our sales. We utilize various channel partners, including, but not limited to the following:

•

A global network of strategic distributor relationships, as well as region-specific or country-specific distributors who in turn sell to local VARs who sell to end-user customers. Our distribution channel partners resell routing, switching, and security products and services, which are purchased by all of our key customer verticals. These distributors tend to focus on particular regions or countries within regions. For example, we have substantial distribution relationships with Ingram Micro in the Americas and Hitachi in Japan. Our agreements with these distributors are generally non-exclusive, limited by region, and provide product and service discounts and other ordinary terms of sale. These agreements do not require our distributors to purchase specified quantities of our products or services. Further, most of our distributors sell our competitors' products and services, and some sell their own competing products and services.

•

VARs and Direct value-added resellers, including our strategic worldwide alliance partners referenced below, resell our products to end-users around the world. These channel partners either buy our products and services through distributors, or directly from us, and have expertise in designing, selling, implementing, and supporting complex networking solutions in their respective markets. Our agreements with these channel partners are generally non-exclusive, limited by region, and provide product and service discounts and other ordinary terms of sale. These agreements do not require these channel partners to purchase specified quantities of our products or services. Increasingly, our Cloud and Service Provider customers also resell our products or services to their customers or purchase our products or services for the purpose of providing managed or cloud-based services to their customers.

•

Strategic worldwide reseller relationships with established Juniper alliances, comprised of Dimension Data Holdings, or Dimension Data; Ericsson Telecom A.B., or Ericsson; International Business Machines, or IBM; and NEC Corporation. These companies each offer services and products that complement our own product and service offerings and act as a reseller, and in some instances as an integration partner for our products. Our arrangements with these partners allow them to resell our products and services on a non-exclusive and generally global basis, provide for product and service discounts, and specify other general terms of sale. These agreements do not require these partners to purchase specified quantities of our products or services.

Manufacturing and Operations

As of December 31, 2018 , we employed 340 people in worldwide manufacturing and operations who manage our supply chain including relationships with our contract manufacturers, original design manufacturers, component suppliers, warehousing and logistics service providers.

Our manufacturing is primarily conducted through contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers in the United States, or U.S., China, Malaysia, Mexico, and Taiwan. As of December 31, 2018 , we utilized Celestica Incorporated, Flextronics International Ltd., Accton Technology Corporation, and Alpha Networks Inc. for the majority of our manufacturing activity. Our contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers are responsible for all phases of manufacturing from prototypes to full production including activities such as material procurement, surface mount assembly, final assembly, test, control, shipment to our customers, and repairs. Together with our contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers, we design, specify, and monitor the tests that are required to ensure that our products meet internal and external quality standards. We believe that these arrangements provide us with the following benefits:


•	We can quickly ramp up and deliver products to customers with turnkey manufacturing;


•	We gain economies of scale by leveraging our buying power with our contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers when we manufacture large quantities of products;


•	We operate with a minimum amount of dedicated space and employees for manufacturing operations; and


•	We can reduce our costs by reducing what would normally be fixed overhead expenses.

Our contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers build our products based on our rolling product demand forecasts. Each contract manufacturer procures components necessary to assemble the products in our forecast and tests the products according to agreed-upon specifications. Products are then shipped to our distributors, VARs, or end-users. Generally, we do not own the components. Title to the finished goods is generally transferred from the contract manufacturers to us when the products leave the

contract manufacturer's or original design manufacturer's location. Customers take title to the products upon delivery at a specified destination. If the product or components remain unused or the products remain unsold for a specified period, we may incur carrying charges or charges for excess or obsolete materials.

Our contracts with our contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers set forth a framework within which the contract manufacturer and original design manufacturer, as applicable, may accept purchase orders from us. These contracts do not represent long-term commitments.

We also purchase and hold inventory for strategic reasons and to mitigate the risk of shortages of certain critical components; the majority of this inventory is production components. As a result, we may incur additional holding costs and obsolescence charges, particularly resulting from uncertainties in future product demand.

Some of our custom components, such as ASICs, are manufactured primarily by sole or limited sources, each of which is responsible for all aspects of production using our proprietary designs. To ensure the security and integrity of Juniper products during manufacture, assembly and distribution, we have implemented a supply chain risk management framework as part of our overall Brand Integrity Management System. This framework encompasses all aspects of the supply chain as well as enhanced elements specific to security issues applicable to Juniper products and our customers.

By working collaboratively with our suppliers, we endeavor to promote socially responsible business practices beyond our company and throughout our worldwide supply chain. To this end, we have adopted a business partner code of conduct and promote compliance with such code of conduct to our suppliers. Our business partner code of conduct expresses support for and is aligned with the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact and the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct. The Responsible Business Alliance, a coalition of electronics, retail, auto and toy companies, provides guidelines and resources to drive performance and compliance with critical corporate social responsibility policies. Its goals are to promote ethical business practices, to ensure that working conditions in the electronic industry supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that manufacturing processes are environmentally responsible. By using standard audit and assessment protocols and tools, we measure and monitor manufacturing partners’ and direct material suppliers’ compliance to the codes of conduct, including but not limited to: onsite audits; risk assessments; CDP climate change and water requests; and conflict minerals surveys. CDP is a global standardized mechanism by which companies can report their environmental performance on climate change and water and forest programs to institutional investors and customers. Our Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability Report and Business Partner Code of Conduct are available on our website.

Backlog

Our sales are made primarily pursuant to purchase orders under framework agreements either with our distributors, resellers, or end-customers. At any given time, we have backlog orders for products that have not shipped. Because customers may cancel purchase orders or change delivery schedules without significant penalty, we believe that our backlog at any given date may not be a reliable indicator of future operating results. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , our total product backlog was approximately $344.3 million and $400.7 million ^(*) , respectively. Our product backlog consists of confirmed orders for products scheduled to be shipped to our distributors, resellers, or end-customers, generally within the next six months. Backlog excludes certain future revenue adjustments for items such as product revenue deferrals, sales return reserves, service revenue allocations, and early payment discounts.

_______________________________

^(*)

Prior to January 1, 2018, our product backlog consisted of confirmed orders for products scheduled to be shipped to customers, generally within the next six months, and excluded orders from distributors as we recognized product revenue on sales made through distributors upon sell-through to end-users. Backlog also excluded certain future revenue adjustments for items such as product revenue deferrals, rebates, stock rotation reserves, sales return reserves, service revenue allocations, and early payment discounts.

Seasonality

We, as do many companies in our industry, experience seasonal fluctuations in customer spending patterns. Historically, we have experienced stronger customer demand in the fourth quarter and weaker demand in the first quarter. This historical pattern should not be considered a reliable indicator of our future net revenues or financial performance.

Competition

We compete in the network infrastructure markets. These markets are characterized by rapid change, converging technologies, and a migration to solutions that combine high performance networking with cloud technologies. In the network infrastructure business, Cisco Systems, Inc., or Cisco, has historically been the dominant player. However, our principal competitors also include Arista Networks, Inc., or Arista; Dell Inc., or Dell; Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., or HPE; Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., or Huawei; and Nokia Corporation, or Nokia.

Many of our current and potential competitors, such as Cisco, Nokia, HPE, and Huawei, among others, have broader portfolios which enable them to bundle their networking products with other networking and information technology products in a manner that may discourage customers from purchasing our products. Many of our current and potential competitors have greater name recognition, marketing budgets, and more extensive customer bases that they may leverage to compete more effectively. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share, negatively affecting our operating results.

In addition, there are a number of other competitors in the security network infrastructure space, including Palo Alto Networks, Inc., or Palo Alto Networks; Check Point Software Technologies, Ltd., or Check Point; F5 Networks, Inc., or F5 Networks; and Fortinet, Inc., or Fortinet; among others, who tend to be focused specifically on security solutions and, therefore, may be considered specialized compared to our broader product line.

We expect that over time, large companies with significant resources, technical expertise, market experience, customer relationships, and broad product lines, such as Cisco, Nokia, and Huawei, will introduce new products designed to compete more effectively in the market. There are also several other companies that aim to build products with greater capabilities to compete with our products. Further, there has been significant consolidation in the networking industry, with smaller companies being acquired by larger, established suppliers of network infrastructure products. We believe this trend is likely to continue which may increase the competitive pressure faced by us due to their increased size and breadth of their product portfolios.

In addition to established competitors, a number of public and private companies have announced plans for new products to address the same needs that our products address. We believe that our ability to compete depends upon our ability to demonstrate that our products are superior and cost effective in meeting the needs of our current and potential customers.

As a result, we expect to face increased competition in the future from larger companies with significantly more resources than we have and also from emerging companies that are developing new technologies. Although we believe that our technology and the purpose-built features of our products make them unique and will enable us to compete effectively with these companies, there can be no assurance that new products, enhancements or business strategies will achieve widespread market acceptance.

Environment

We are committed to maintaining compliance with all environmental laws applicable to our operations, products and services and to reducing our environmental impact across our business and supply chain. Our operations and many of our products are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign regulations that have been adopted with respect to the environment, such as the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, or WEEE, Directive; Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment, or RoHS; and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, or REACH, regulations adopted by the European Union, or EU, and China. To date, compliance with federal, state, local, and foreign laws enacted for the protection of the environment has had no material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. However, see the risk factor entitled "Regulation of our industry in general and the telecommunications industry in particular could harm our operating results and future prospects" in the section entitled Risk Factors in Item 1A of Part I of this Report for additional information concerning regulatory compliance.

Juniper’s greatest impact on the environment is through our products and services. Juniper has an environmental program, based on our new product introduction process that supports a circular economy model for environmental sustainability and focuses on energy efficiency, materials innovation, and recyclability. We consider opportunities to minimize resource impacts and improve efficiencies over a product’s life cycle, from the materials we use and a product’s energy footprint, to packaging and end-of-life, or EOL, activities such as reuse, refurbishment, and recycling.

Table of Contents

We are committed to the environment through our efforts to improve the energy efficiency per gigabit of throughput of key elements in our high-performance network product offerings. Our products are independently tested by third parties for energy efficiency compliance. As an example, our MX10008 and MX10016 products redefine per-slot economics, enabling customers to do more with less while simplifying network design and reducing operating expenses, by consuming 0.6W per Gigabit of throughput. Additionally, we have redesigned packaging in ways that optimizes costs while minimizing resource impacts.

We are also voluntarily participating in CDP climate change and water disclosures and encourage our direct material suppliers to do the same. Additionally, we are a member of the Responsible Business Alliance, or RBA, and have adopted and promote the adoption by our suppliers of the practices of the RBA Code of Conduct, as discussed above in the section entitled Manufacturing and Operations . We continue to invest in the infrastructure and systems required to execute on, monitor and drive environmental improvements in our global operations and within our supply chain.

Intellectual Property

Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent upon our internally developed technology and expertise, as well as our ability to obtain and protect necessary intellectual property rights. While we rely on patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark law, as well as confidentiality agreements, to protect our technology, we also believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements, and reliable product maintenance are essential to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. There can be no assurance that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology.

In addition, we integrate licensed third-party technology into certain of our products and, from time to time, we need to renegotiate these licenses or license additional technology from third parties to develop new products or product enhancements or to facilitate new business models. There can be no assurance that third-party licenses will be available or continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our inability to maintain or re-license any third-party licenses required in our products or our inability to obtain third-party licenses necessary to develop new products and product enhancements could require us to obtain substitute technology of lower quality or performance standards or at a greater cost, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2018 , we had over 3,100 patents worldwide and numerous patent applications are pending. Patents generally have a term of twenty years from filing. As our patent portfolio has been built over time, the remaining terms on the individual patents vary. We cannot be certain that patents will be issued on the patent applications that we have filed, that we will be able to obtain the necessary intellectual property rights, or that other parties will not contest our intellectual property rights.

Employees

As of December 31, 2018 , we had 9,283 full-time employees. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good. Competition for qualified personnel in our industry is intense. We believe that our future success depends in part on our continued ability to hire, motivate, and retain qualified personnel. We believe that we have been successful in recruiting qualified employees, but there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in the future.

Our future performance depends significantly upon the continued service of our key technical, sales, and senior management personnel, none of whom are bound by an employment agreement requiring service for any defined period of time. The loss of one or more of our key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors That May Affect Future Results

Investments in our securities involve significant risks. Even small changes in investor expectations for our future growth and earnings, whether as a result of actual or rumored financial or operating results, changes in the mix of the products and services sold, acquisitions, industry changes, or other factors, could trigger, and have triggered in the past, significant fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. Investors in our securities should carefully consider all of the relevant factors disclosed by us, including, but not limited to, the following factors, that could affect our business, operating results, and stock price.

Our quarterly results are unpredictable and subject to substantial fluctuations; as a result, we may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors, which could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control and any of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate.

The factors that may cause our quarterly results to vary quarter by quarter and be unpredictable include, but are not limited to:


•	unpredictable ordering patterns and limited or reduced visibility into our customers’ spending plans and associated revenue;


•	changes in customer mix;


•	changes in the demand for our products and services;


•	changes in the mix of products and services sold;


•	changes in the mix of geographies in which our products and services are sold;


•	changing market and economic conditions;


•	current and potential customer, partner and supplier consolidation and concentration;


•	price and product competition;


•	long sales, qualification and implementation cycles;


•	success in new and evolving markets and emerging technologies;


•	how well we execute on our strategy and operating plans and the impact of changes in our business model that could result in significant restructuring charges;


•	ability of our customers, channel partners, contract manufacturers and suppliers to purchase, market, sell, manufacture or supply our products (or components of our products) and services;


•	financial stability of our customers, including the solvency of private sector customers and statutory authority for government customers to purchase goods and services;


•	our ability to achieve targeted cost reductions;


•	changes in tax laws or accounting rules, or interpretations thereof;


•	changes in the amount and frequency of share repurchases or dividends;


•	regional economic and political conditions; and


•	seasonality.

For example, we, and many companies in our industry, experience adverse seasonal fluctuations in customer spending, particularly in the first quarter. In addition, while we may have backlog orders for products that have not shipped, we believe that our backlog may not be a reliable indicator of future operating results for a number of reasons, including project delays, changes in project scope and the fact that our customers may cancel purchase orders or change delivery schedules without significant penalty. Furthermore, market trends, competitive pressures, commoditization of products, rebates and discounting, increased component or logistics costs, issues with product quality, regulatory impacts and other factors may result in reductions in revenue or pressure on gross margins in a given period, which may necessitate adjustments to our operations. Such adjustments may be difficult or impossible to execute in the short or medium term.

As a result of the factors described above, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of operating results are not necessarily a good indication of what our future performance will be. In the past, our operating results have been below our guidance, our long-term financial model or the expectations of securities analysts or investors, and this may happen in the future, in which case the price of our common stock may decline and has declined in the past. Such a decline could also occur, and has occurred in the past, even when we have met our publicly stated revenues and/or earnings guidance.

Table of Contents

We expect our gross margins and operating margins to vary over time.

We expect our product and service gross margins to vary, both in the near-term and in the long-term, and may be adversely affected in the future by numerous factors, some of which have occurred and may occur in the future, including customer, vertical, product and geographic mix shifts, an increase or decrease in our software sales or services we provide, increased price competition in one or more of the markets in which we compete, changes in the actions of our competitors or their pricing strategies, which may be difficult to predict and respond to, modifications to our pricing strategy in order to gain footprint in certain markets or with certain customers, currency fluctuations that impact our costs or the cost of our products and services to our customers, increases in material, labor, logistics, warranty costs, or inventory carrying costs, excess product component or obsolescence charges from our contract manufacturers, issues with manufacturing or component availability, quality or efficiencies, increased costs due to changes in component pricing or charges incurred due to inaccurately forecasting product demand, warranty related issues, or our introduction of new products and enhancements or entry into new markets with different pricing and cost structures. For example, in fiscal year 2018, our margins decreased as compared to fiscal year 2017, primarily due to lower net revenues and product mix. In fiscal year 2017, our margins decreased as compared to fiscal year 2016, primarily due to lower product net revenues and product mix, resulting from the year-over-year decline in routing revenues, our customers' architectural shifts, and higher costs of certain memory components. In fiscal year 2016, our margins decreased compared to fiscal year 2015, primarily due to elevated pricing pressure and product mix. Failure to sustain or improve our gross margins reduces our profitability and may have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

Further, while we will continue to remain diligent in our long-term financial objective to increase revenue and operating margins and manage our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. We expect that our margins will vary with our ability to achieve these goals. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to achieve all or any of the goals of these plans or meet our announced expectations, in whole or in part, or that our plans will have the intended effect of improving our margins on the expected timeline, or at all.

A limited number of our customers comprise a material portion of our revenues and any changes in the way they purchase products and services from us could affect our business. In addition, there is an ongoing trend toward consolidation in the industry in which our customers and partners operate. Any decrease in revenues from our customers or partners could have an adverse effect on our net revenues and operating results.

A material portion of our net revenues, across each customer vertical, depends on sales to a limited number of customers and distribution partners. Changes in the business requirements or focus, vendor selection, project prioritization, financial prospects, capital resources, and expenditures, or purchasing behavior (including product mix purchased or delays in deployment) of our key customers could significantly decrease our sales to such customers or could lead to delays or cancellations of planned purchases of our products or services, which increases the risk of quarterly fluctuations in our revenues and operating results. Any of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, in recent years, there has been movement towards consolidation in the telecommunications industry (for example, CenturyLink, Inc.'s acquisition of Level 3 Communications, Inc., Vodafone India’s acquisition of Idea Cellular Ltd. and T-Mobile US, Inc.'s proposed acquisition of Sprint Corp.) and that consolidation trend has continued. Certain telecommunications companies have also moved towards vertical consolidation through acquisitions of media and content companies, such as Verizon’s acquisition of Yahoo, AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner, and Comcast's acquisition of Sky. If our customers or partners are parties to consolidation transactions they may delay, suspend or indefinitely reduce or cancel their purchases of our products or other direct or indirect unforeseen consequences could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Fluctuating economic conditions make it difficult to predict revenues and gross margin for a particular period and a shortfall in revenues or increase in costs of production may harm our operating results.

Our revenues and gross margin depend significantly on general economic conditions and the demand for products in the markets in which we compete. Economic weakness or uncertainty, customer financial difficulties, and constrained spending on network expansion and enterprise infrastructure have in the past resulted in, and may in the future result in, decreased revenues and earnings. Such factors could make it difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and could negatively affect our ability to provide accurate forecasts to our contract manufacturers and manage our contract manufacturer relationships and other expenses. In addition, economic instability or uncertainty, as well as continued turmoil in the geopolitical environment in many parts of the world, have, and may continue to, put pressure on economic conditions, which has led and could lead, to reduced demand for our products, to delays or reductions in network expansions or infrastructure projects, and/or higher costs of production. More generally-speaking, economic weakness may also lead to longer collection cycles for payments due from our customers, an increase in customer bad debt, restructuring initiatives and associated expenses, and impairment of investments. Furthermore, instability in the global markets may adversely impact the ability of our customers to adequately fund their expected expenditures, which could

Table of Contents

lead to delays or cancellations of planned purchases of our products or services. Our operating expenses are largely based on anticipated revenue trends and a high percentage of our expenses is, and will continue to be, fixed in the short and medium term. Uncertainty about future economic conditions also makes it difficult to forecast operating results and to make decisions about future investments. Future or continued economic weakness, failure of our customers and markets to recover from such weakness, customer financial difficulties, increases in costs of production, and reductions in spending on network maintenance and expansion could result in price concessions in certain markets or have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and consequently on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our success depends upon our ability to effectively plan and manage our resources and restructure our business through rapidly fluctuating economic and market conditions, and such actions may have an adverse effect on our financial and operating results.

Our ability to successfully offer our products and services in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning, forecasting, and management process to enable us to effectively scale and adjust our business and business models in response to fluctuating market opportunities and conditions.

From time to time, we have increased investment in our business by, for example, increasing headcount, acquiring companies, and increasing our investment in R&D, sales and marketing, and other parts of our business. Conversely, in 2017, 2018, and 2019, we initiated restructuring plans to realign our workforce as a result of organizational and leadership changes, align our execution priorities, increase operational efficiencies, and to consolidate facilities which resulted in restructuring charges in each of these years. Some of our expenses related to such efforts are fixed costs that cannot be rapidly or easily adjusted in response to fluctuations in our business or numbers of employees. Rapid changes in the size, alignment or organization of our workforce, including sales account coverage, could adversely affect our ability to develop and deliver products and services as planned or impair our ability to realize our current or future business and financial objectives. Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from our restructuring initiatives within the expected time frame is subject to many estimates and assumptions, which are subject to significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. If these estimates and assumptions are incorrect, if we are unsuccessful at implementing changes, or if other unforeseen events occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We face intense competition that could reduce our revenues and adversely affect our business and financial results.

Competition is intense in the markets that we serve. The routing and switching markets have historically been dominated by Cisco, with competition coming from other companies such as Nokia Corporation, Arista, HPE, and Huawei. In the security market, we face intense competition from Cisco and Palo Alto Networks, as well as companies such as Check Point, F5 Networks, and Fortinet. Further, a number of other small public and private companies have products or have announced plans for new products to address the same challenges and markets that our products address.

In addition, actual or speculated consolidation among competitors, or the acquisition by, or of, our partners and/or resellers by competitors can increase the competitive pressures faced by us as customers may delay spending decisions or not purchase our products at all. A number of our competitors have substantially greater resources and can offer a wider range of products and services for the overall network equipment market than we do. In addition, some of our competitors have become more integrated, including through consolidation and vertical integration, and offer a broader range of products and services, which could make their solutions more attractive to our customers. Many of our competitors sell networking products as bundled solutions with other IT products, such as compute and storage systems. If we are unable to compete successfully against existing and future competitors on the basis of product offerings or price, we could experience a loss in market share and revenues and/or be required to reduce prices, which could reduce our gross margins, and which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our partners and resellers generally sell or resell competing products on a non-exclusive basis and consolidation could delay spending or require us to increase discounts to compete, which could also adversely affect our business.

The long sales and implementation cycles for our products, as well as our expectation that some customers will sporadically place large orders with short lead times, may cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter.

A customer's decision to purchase certain of our products, particularly new products, involves a significant commitment of its resources and a lengthy evaluation and product qualification process. As a result, the sales cycle may be lengthy. In particular, customers making critical decisions regarding the design and implementation of large network deployments may engage in very lengthy procurement processes that may delay or impact expected future orders. Throughout the sales cycle, we may spend considerable time educating and providing information to prospective customers regarding the use and benefits of our products. Even after making the decision to purchase, customers may deploy our products slowly and deliberately. Timing of deployment

Table of Contents

can vary widely and depends on the skill set of the customer, the size of the network deployment, the complexity of the customer's network environment, and the degree of hardware and operating system configuration necessary to deploy the products. Customers with large networks usually expand their networks in large increments on a periodic basis. Accordingly, we may receive purchase orders for significant dollar amounts on an irregular basis. These long cycles, as well as our expectation that customers will tend to sporadically place large orders with short lead times, both of which may be exacerbated by the impact of global economic weakness, may cause revenues and operating results to vary significantly and unexpectedly from quarter-to-quarter.

The timing of product orders and/or our reliance on revenue from sales of certain software or subscriptions and professional, support and maintenance services may cause us to recognize revenue in a different period than the one in which a transaction takes place.

Due to the cost, complexity and custom nature of configurations required by our customers, we generally build our network equipment products as orders are received. The volume of orders received late in any given fiscal quarter remains unpredictable. If orders for certain products are received late in any quarter, we may not be able to recognize revenue for these orders in the same period, which could adversely affect our ability to meet our expected revenues for such quarter.

In addition, services revenue accounts for a significant portion of our revenue, comprising 33% , 31% , and 29% of total revenue in fiscal year 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Sales of new or renewal professional services, support and maintenance contracts may decline and/or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including end-customers’ level of satisfaction with our products and services, the prices of our products and services or those offered by our competitors, and reductions in our end-customers’ spending levels. We recognize professional services, support and maintenance revenue periodically over the term of the relevant service period.

The introduction of new software products and services is part of our intended strategy to expand our software business, and certain software revenues may be recognized periodically over the term of the relevant use period or subscription period. As a result, certain software, subscription and support and maintenance revenue we report each fiscal quarter is the recognition of deferred revenue from contracts entered into during previous fiscal quarters. Consequently, a decline in such new or renewed contracts in any one fiscal quarter will not be fully or immediately reflected in revenue in that fiscal quarter but will negatively affect our revenue in future fiscal quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in new or renewed sales of certain software products, subscriptions or support and maintenance is not reflected in full in our operating results until future periods. Also, it is difficult for us to rapidly increase such software or services revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from those software, subscription and support and maintenance contracts must be recognized over the applicable period.

Additionally, we determine our operating expenses largely on the basis of anticipated revenues and technology roadmap and a high percentage of our expenses are fixed in the short and medium term. As a result, a failure or delay in generating or recognizing revenue could cause significant variations in our operating results and operating margin from quarter-to-quarter.

We sell our products to customers that use those products to build networks and IP infrastructure, and if the demand for network and IP systems does not continue to grow, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

A substantial portion of our business and revenues depends on the growth of secure IP infrastructure and customers that depend on the continued growth of IP services to deploy our products in their networks and IP infrastructures. As a result of changes in the economy, capital spending or the building of network capacity in excess of demand (all of which, have in the past, particularly affected telecommunications service providers), spending on IP infrastructure can vary, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, a number of our existing customers are evaluating the build-out of their next generation networks. During the decision-making period when our customers are determining the design of those networks and the selection of the software and equipment they will use in those networks, such customers may greatly reduce or suspend their spending on secure IP infrastructure. For example, in recent years, our switching and routing results were adversely affected by spending delays from our largest Cloud customers, who we believe are in the process of implementing a networking architectural shift. The duration of the delay is difficult to predict, in part because each Cloud customer will migrate their network architecture based on their own constraints. Such delays in purchases can make it more difficult to predict revenues from customers, can cause fluctuations in the level of spending by customers and, even where our products are ultimately selected, can have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we do not successfully anticipate technological shifts, market needs and opportunities, and develop products, product enhancements and business strategies that meet those technological shifts, needs and opportunities, or if those products are not made available or strategies are not executed in a timely manner or do not gain market acceptance, we may not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate revenues will suffer.

The markets for our products are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, changes in customer requirements, continuous pricing pressures and a constantly evolving industry. We may not be able to anticipate future technological shifts, market needs and opportunities or be able to develop new products, product enhancements or business strategies to meet such technological shifts, needs or opportunities in a timely manner or at all. For example, the move from traditional wide area network, or WAN, infrastructures towards software-defined WAN, or SD-WAN, has been receiving considerable attention. In our view, it will take several years to see the full impact of SD-WAN, and we believe the successful products and solutions in this market will combine hardware and software elements. If we fail to anticipate market requirements or opportunities or fail to develop and introduce new products, product enhancements or business strategies to meet those requirements or opportunities in a timely manner, it could cause us to lose customers, and such failure could substantially decrease or delay market acceptance and sales of our present and future products and services, which would significantly harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, if we invest time, energy and resources in developing products for a market that doesn't develop, it could likewise significantly harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Even if we are able to anticipate, develop, and commercially introduce new products, enhancements or business strategies, there can be no assurance that new products, enhancements or business strategies will achieve widespread market acceptance.

In recent years, we have announced a number of new products and enhancements to our hardware and software products across routing, switching and security. The success of our new products depends on several factors, including, but not limited to, component costs, timely completion and introduction of these products, prompt resolution of any defects or bugs in these products, our ability to support these products, differentiation of new products from those of our competitors and market acceptance of these products.

The introduction of new software products is part of our intended strategy to expand our software business. We have also begun to disaggregate certain software from certain hardware products, such that customers would be able to purchase or license our hardware and software products independently, which we expect could in time enable our hardware to be deployed with third- party networking applications and services and our software to be used with third-party hardware. The success of our strategy to expand our software business, including our strategy to disaggregate software from certain hardware products, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:


•	the additional development efforts and costs required to create new software products and/or to make our disaggregated products compatible with multiple technologies;


•	the possibility that our new software products or disaggregated products may not achieve widespread customer adoption;


•	the possibility that our strategy could erode our revenue and gross margins;


•	the impact on our financial results of longer periods of revenue recognition for certain types of software products

and changes in tax treatment associated with software sales;


•	the additional costs associated with regulatory compliance and changes we need to make to our distribution chain in connection with increased software sales;


•	the ability of our disaggregated hardware and software products to operate independently and/or to integrate with current and future third-party products; and


•	issues with third-party technologies used with our disaggregated products may be attributed to us.

If any of our new products or business strategies do not gain market acceptance or meet our expectations for growth, our ability to meet future financial targets may be adversely affected and our competitive position and our business and financial results could be harmed.

We are dependent on contract manufacturers with whom we do not have long-term supply contracts, and changes to or disruptions in those relationships or manufacturing processes, expected or unexpected, may result in delays that could cause us to lose revenues and damage our customer relationships.

We depend on independent contract manufacturers (each of which is a third-party manufacturer for numerous companies) to manufacture our products. Although we have contracts with our contract manufacturers, these contracts do not require them to manufacture our products on a long-term basis in any specific quantity or at any specific price. In addition, it is time-consuming and costly to qualify and implement additional contract manufacturer relationships. Therefore, if we fail to effectively manage our contract manufacturer relationships, which could include failing to provide accurate forecasts of our requirements, or if one or more of them experiences delays, disruptions, or quality control problems in their manufacturing operations, or if we had to change or add additional contract manufacturers or contract manufacturing sites, our ability to ship products to our customers could be delayed. We have experienced in the past and may experience in the future an increase in the expected time required to manufacture our products or ship products. Such delays could result in supply shortfalls that damage our ability to meet customer demand for those products and could cause our customers to purchase alternative products from our competitors. Also, the addition of manufacturing locations or contract manufacturers or the introduction of new products by us would increase the complexity of our supply chain management. Moreover, a significant portion of our manufacturing is performed in China and other foreign countries and is therefore subject to risks associated with doing business outside of the United States, including import tariffs or regional conflicts. For example, the United States recently imposed a tariff on networking products imported from China; this includes certain products that we import into and sell within the United States. If we cannot mitigate the impact of the tariffs, the increased cost could translate into higher prices for our customers, reduced customer demand or increased cost of goods sold. In addition, increased costs of production or delays in production caused by any relocation of contract manufacturing facilities could impact the global competitiveness of our products. Each of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are dependent on sole source and limited source suppliers, including for key components, which makes us susceptible to shortages, quality issues or price fluctuations in our supply chain, and we may face increased challenges in supply chain management in the future.

We rely on single or limited sources for many of our components. During periods of high demand for electronic products, component shortages are possible, and the predictability of the availability of such components may be limited. For example, we have recently experienced industry-wide supply constraints related to power management components. In addition, some components used in our networking solutions have in the past and may in the future experience extended lead times and higher pricing, given the demand in the market. Any future spike in growth in our business, the use of certain components we share in common with other companies, in IT spending or the economy in general, is likely to create greater short-term pressures on us and our suppliers to accurately forecast overall component demand and to establish optimal component inventories. If shortages or delays persist, we may not be able to secure enough components at reasonable prices or of acceptable quality to build and deliver products in a timely manner, and our revenues, gross margins and customer relationships could suffer. Additionally, if certain components that we receive from our suppliers have defects or other quality issues, we may have to replace or repair such components, and we could be subject to claims based on warranty, product liability, epidemic or delivery failures that could lead to significant expenses. We maintain product liability insurance, but there is no guarantee that such insurance will be available or adequate to protect against all such claims. We have experienced, and from time-to-time may experience, component shortages or quality issues that resulted, or could result, in delays of product shipments, revenue charges that impact our gross margins, and/or warranty or other claims or costs. We also currently purchase numerous key components, including ASICs and other semiconductor chips, from single or limited sources and many of our component suppliers are concentrated in China and Korea. In addition, there has been consolidation among certain suppliers of our components. For example, GLOBALFOUNDRIES acquired IBM’s semiconductor manufacturing business, Avago Technologies Limited acquired Broadcom Corporation and Intel Corporation acquired Altera Corporation. Consolidation among suppliers can result in the reduction of the number of independent suppliers of components available to us, which could negatively impact our ability to access certain component parts or the prices we have to pay for such parts. In addition, our suppliers may determine not to continue a business relationship with us for other reasons that may be beyond our control. Any disruptions to our supply chain could decrease our sales, earnings and liquidity or otherwise adversely affect our business and result in increased costs. Such a disruption could occur as a result of any number of events, including, but not limited to, increases in wages that drive up prices, the imposition of regulations, quotas or embargoes on components, labor stoppages, transportation failures affecting the supply chain and shipment of materials and finished goods, third-party interference in the integrity of the products sourced through the supply chain, the unavailability of raw materials, severe weather conditions, natural disasters, civil unrest, military conflicts, geopolitical developments, war or terrorism and disruptions in utility and other services.

The development of alternate sources for components is time-consuming, difficult, and costly. In addition, the lead times associated with certain components are lengthy and preclude rapid changes in quantities and delivery schedules. Also, long-term supply and maintenance obligations to customers increase the duration for which specific components are required, which may further increase

Table of Contents

the risk of component shortages or the cost of carrying inventory. In the event of a component shortage or supply interruption from these suppliers, we may not be able to develop alternate or second sources in a timely manner. If we are unable to buy these components in quantities sufficient to meet our requirements on a timely basis, we will not be able to deliver products and services to our customers, which would seriously affect present and future sales, which would, in turn, adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, the development, licensing, or acquisition of new products in the future may increase the complexity of supply chain management. Failure to effectively manage the supply of components and products would adversely affect our business.

If we fail to accurately predict our manufacturing requirements, we could incur additional costs or experience manufacturing delays, which would harm our business.

We provide demand forecasts for our products to our contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers, who order components and plan capacity based on these forecasts. If we overestimate our requirements, our original design or contract manufacturers may assess charges, or we may have liabilities for excess inventory, each of which could negatively affect our gross margins. For example, in certain prior quarters, our gross margins were reduced as a result of an inventory charge resulting from inventory we held in excess of forecasted demand. In addition, some optical modules we use are experiencing faster product transitions than our other products, which increases the risk that we could have excess inventory of those modules. Conversely, lead times for required materials and components vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, contract terms, and the demand for each component at a given time. Given that our contract manufacturers are third-party manufacturers for numerous other companies, if we underestimate our requirements, as we have in certain prior quarters with respect to certain products, our contract manufacturers may have inadequate time, materials, and/or components required to produce our products. This could increase costs or delay or interrupt manufacturing of our products, resulting in delays in shipments and deferral or loss of revenues and could negatively impact customer satisfaction.

System security risks, data protection breaches, and cyber-attacks could compromise our and our customers’ proprietary information, disrupt our internal operations and harm public perception of our products, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer and adversely affect our stock price.

In the ordinary course of business, we store sensitive data, including intellectual property, personal data, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners on our networks. In addition, we store sensitive data through cloud-based services that may be hosted by third parties and in data center infrastructure maintained by third parties. The secure maintenance of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. The growing cyber risk environment means that individuals, companies, and organizations of all sizes, including Juniper, have been and are increasingly subject to the threat of intrusions on their networks and systems by a wide range of actors, including but not limited to nation states, criminal enterprises, and terrorist organizations, on an ongoing and regular basis. Despite our security measures, and those of our third-party vendors, our information technology and infrastructure has experienced breaches and may be vulnerable in the future to breach or attacks by computer programmers, hackers or sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors or breached due to employee error or wrongful conduct, malfeasance, or other disruptions. If any breach or attack compromises our networks, creates system disruptions or slowdowns or exploits security vulnerabilities of our products, the information stored on our networks or those of our customers could be accessed and modified, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen, and we may be subject to liability to our customers, suppliers, business partners and others, and suffer reputational and financial harm. In addition, hardware, components and operating system software and applications that we produce or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including "bugs", vulnerabilities and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of our networks or expose us or our products to cyber attacks. This can be true even for “legacy” products that have been determined to have reached an end of life engineering status but will continue to operate for a limited amount of time. Furthermore, third parties may attempt to exfiltrate data through the introduction into the Information and Communications Technology supply chain of malicious products and components that are designed to defeat or circumvent encryption and other cybersecurity measures, and if successful, such actions could diminish customer trust in our products, harm our business reputation, and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

When vulnerabilities are discovered, we evaluate the risk, apply patches or take other remediation actions as required and notify customers and suppliers when appropriate. All of this requires significant time and attention from management and our employees.

As a result of any actual or perceived breach of network security that occurs in our network or in the network of a customer of our products, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to our products, the market perception of the effectiveness of our products and our overall reputation could be harmed. As a large, well known provider of networking products, cyber attackers may specifically target our products or attempt to imitate us or our products in order to compromise a network. Because the techniques used by attackers, many of whom are highly sophisticated and well-funded, to access or sabotage networks change

Table of Contents

frequently and generally are not recognized until after they are used, we may be unable to anticipate or immediately detect these techniques or the vulnerabilities they have caused. This could impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions, which could have an adverse impact on our financial results. The economic costs to us to eliminate or alleviate cyber or other security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software systems and security vulnerabilities could be significant and may be difficult to anticipate or measure, because the damage may differ based on the identity and motive of the attacker, which are often difficult to pinpoint. Additionally, we could be subject to regulatory investigations, potential fines and litigation in connection with a security breach or related issue and be liable to third parties for these types of breaches.

We rely on value-added and other resellers, as well as distribution partners, to sell our products, and disruptions to, or our failure to effectively develop and manage, our distribution channel and the processes and procedures that support it could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our products.

Our future success is highly dependent upon establishing and maintaining successful relationships with a variety of value-added and other reseller and distribution partners, including our worldwide strategic partners such as Ericsson, IBM, Dimension Data and NEC Corporation. The majority of our revenues are derived through value-added resellers and distributors, most of which also sell our competitors’ products, and some of which sell their own competing products. Our revenues depend in part on the performance of these partners. The loss of or reduction in sales to our resellers or distributors could materially reduce our revenues. Our competitors may in some cases be effective in leveraging their market share positions or in providing incentives to current or potential resellers and distributors to favor their products or to prevent or reduce sales of our products. If we fail to develop and maintain relationships with our partners, fail to develop new relationships with value-added resellers and distributors in new markets, fail to expand the number of distributors and resellers in existing markets, fail to manage, train or motivate existing value-added resellers and distributors effectively, determine that we cannot continue to do business with these partners for any reason or if these partners are not successful in their sales efforts, sales of our products may decrease, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations would suffer.

In addition, we recognize a portion of our revenues at the time we sell products to our distributors. If these sales are made based on inaccurate or untimely information, the amount or timing of our revenues could be adversely impacted. Further, our distributors may increase orders during periods of product shortages, cancel orders if their inventory is too high, or delay orders in anticipation of new products. They also may adjust their orders in response to the supply of our products and the products of our competitors that are available to them, and in response to seasonal fluctuations in end-user demand.

We are also vulnerable to third parties who illegally distribute or sell counterfeit, stolen or unfit versions of our products, which has happened in the past and could happen in the future. Such sales could have a negative impact on our reputation and business.

Further, in order to develop and expand our distribution channel, we must continue to offer attractive channel programs to potential partners and scale and improve our processes and procedures that support the channel. As a result, our programs, processes and procedures may become increasingly complex and inherently difficult to manage. We have previously entered into OEM agreements with partners pursuant to which they rebrand and resell our products as part of their product portfolios. These types of relationships are complex and require additional processes and procedures that may be challenging and costly to implement, maintain and manage. Our failure to successfully manage and develop our distribution channel and the programs, processes and procedures that support it could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues from the sale of our products. We also depend on our global channel partners to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. To the extent that they fail to do so, that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our ability to process orders and ship products in a timely manner is dependent in part on our business systems and performance of the systems and processes of third parties as well as the interfaces between our systems and the systems of such third parties. Dependence on outsourced information technology and other administrative functions may impair our ability to operate effectively.

Some of our business processes depend upon our IT systems, the systems and processes of third parties, and the interfaces between the two. For example, we are in the process of further consolidating our on-site data centers to the cloud and to off-site facilities that are hosted and controlled by third parties. In addition, on December 31, 2018, we entered into a Master Services Agreement and certain Statements of Work with IBM pursuant to which we will outsource significant portions of our IT and other administrative functions following a transition period. These cloud providers, third party providers, and off-site facilities are vulnerable to damage, interruption or performance problems from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures, equipment failure, adverse events caused by operator error, cybersecurity attacks and similar events. In addition, because we lease our cloud storage space and off-site data center facilities, we cannot be assured that we will be able to expand our data center infrastructure to meet user demand in a timely manner, or on favorable economic terms. If we have issues receiving and processing

Table of Contents

data, this may delay our ability to provide products and services to our customers and damage our business. We also rely upon the performance of the systems and processes of our contract manufacturers to build and ship our products. If those systems and processes experience interruption or delay, our ability to build and ship our products in a timely manner may be harmed. Since IT is critical to our operations, any failure to perform on the part of our IT providers could impair our ability to operate effectively. In addition to the risks outlined above, problems with any of the third parties we rely on for our IT systems could result in lower revenue and unexecuted efficiencies, and impact our results of operations and our stock price.

Integration of acquisitions could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition and stock price and may dilute the ownership of our stockholders.

We have made, and may continue to make, acquisitions in order to enhance our business. For example, we acquired HTBase in 2018 and Cyphort in 2017. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including, but not limited to, problems combining the purchased operations, technologies or products, unanticipated costs, liabilities, litigation, and diversion of management's attention from our core businesses, adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers, risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience, and where competitors in such markets have stronger market positions, initial dependence on unfamiliar supply chains or relatively small supply partners, and the potential loss of key employees, customers, distributors, vendors and other business partners of the companies we acquire. There can be no assurance that we will be able to integrate successfully any businesses, products, technologies, or personnel that we might acquire. The integration of businesses that we may acquire is likely to be a complex, time-consuming, and expensive process and we may not realize the anticipated revenues or other benefits associated with our acquisitions. If we fail to successfully manage, operate or integrate any acquired business or if we are unable to efficiently operate as a combined organization utilizing common information and communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls, and human resources practices, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

In connection with certain acquisitions, we may agree to issue common stock , or assume equity awards, that dilute the ownership of our current stockholders, use a substantial portion of our cash resources, assume liabilities (both known and unknown), record goodwill and amortizable intangible assets that will be subject to impairment testing on a regular basis and potential periodic impairment charges, incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets, and incur large and immediate write-offs and restructuring and other related expenses, all of which could harm our financial condition and results of operations.

We are a party to lawsuits, investigations, proceedings, and other disputes, which are costly to defend and, if determined adversely to us, could require us to pay fines or damages, undertake remedial measures or prevent us from taking certain actions, any or all of which could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We, and certain of our current and former officers and current and former members of our Board of Directors, have been or are subject to various lawsuits. We have been served with lawsuits related to employment matters, commercial transactions and patent infringement, as well as securities laws. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, is conducting, and the U.S. Department of Justice, or the DOJ, was previously conducting investigations into possible violations by the Company of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, in a number of countries. The Company's Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent advisors, conducted a thorough internal review of possible violations of the FCPA, and the Company made improvements in its internal controls and carried out a number of disciplinary actions. The Company is continuing to fully cooperate with the SEC’s ongoing investigation, and based on the recent communications with the Staff of the SEC, the Company believes it is likely that the Staff of the SEC will seek to bring an enforcement action against the Company. The Company believes it is probable that it could incur a loss and has established an estimated legal reserve of $12.0 million related to the ongoing SEC investigation. Litigation and investigations are inherently uncertain. We therefore cannot predict the duration, scope, outcome or consequences of litigation and government investigations. In connection with any government investigations, including those in which we are currently involved as described above, if the government takes action against us or we agree to settle the matter, we may be required to pay substantial fines and incur other sanctions, which may be material, and suffer reputational harm. The lawsuits and investigations are expensive and time-consuming to defend, settle, and/or resolve, and may require us to implement certain remedial measures that could prove costly or disruptive to our business and operations. The unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Table of Contents

We are a party to litigation and claims regarding intellectual property rights, resolution of which may be time-consuming and expensive, as well as require a significant amount of resources to prosecute, defend, or make our products non-infringing.

Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. We expect that infringement claims may increase as the number of products and competitors in our market increases and overlaps occur. Third parties have asserted and may in the future assert claims or initiate litigation related to patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights to technologies and related standards that are relevant to our products. The asserted claims and/or initiated litigation may include claims against us or our manufacturers, suppliers, partners, or customers, alleging that our products or services infringe proprietary rights. In addition, increased patent litigation brought by non-practicing entities in recent years may result, and in some cases has resulted, in our customers requesting or requiring us to absorb a portion of the costs of such litigation or providing broader indemnification for litigation, each of which could increase our expenses and negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Regardless of the merit of these claims, they have been and can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, and may require us to develop non-infringing technologies, enter into license agreements, or cease engaging in certain activities or offering certain products or services. Furthermore, because of the potential for high awards of damages or injunctive relief that are not necessarily predictable, even arguably unmeritorious claims may be settled for significant amounts of money. If any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us or anyone we are required to indemnify by any third-party is successful, if we are required to settle litigation for significant amounts of money, if we fail to develop non-infringing technology, if we incorporate infringing technology in our products or if we license required proprietary rights at material expense, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

As we seek to sell more products to telecommunications, cable and cloud service provider companies and other large customers, we may be required to agree to terms and conditions that could have an adverse effect on our business or impact the amount of revenues to be recognized.

Telecommunications, cable and cloud service provider companies, which comprise a significant portion of our customer base, and other large companies, generally have greater purchasing power than smaller entities and, accordingly, often request and receive more favorable terms from suppliers. For example, our customers France Telecom-Orange and Deutsche Telekom AG have formed a company for the purpose of purchasing products from, and negotiating more favorable contractual terms with, suppliers. As we seek to sell more products to this class of customer, we may be required to agree to such terms and conditions, which may include terms that affect the timing of our ability to recognize revenue, increase our costs and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Consolidation among such large customers can further increase their buying power and ability to require onerous terms.

In addition, service providers have purchased products from other vendors who promised but failed to deliver certain functionality and/or had products that caused problems or outages in the networks of these customers. As a result, these customers may request additional features from us and require substantial penalties for failure to deliver such features or may require substantial penalties for any network outages that may be caused by our products. These additional requests and penalties, if we are required to agree to them, may impact the amount of revenue recognition from such sales, which may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, increased patent litigation brought against customers by non-practicing entities in recent years, may result, and in some cases has resulted, in customers requesting or requiring vendors to absorb a portion of the costs of such litigation or providing broader indemnification for litigation, each of which could increase our expenses and negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Regulation of our industry in general and the telecommunications industry in particular could harm our operating results and future prospects.

We are subject to laws and regulations affecting the sale of our products in a number of areas. For example, some governments have regulations prohibiting government entities from purchasing security products that do not meet country-specific safety, conformance or security certification criteria or in-country test requirements. Other regulations that may negatively impact our business include local content or local manufacturing requirements most commonly applicable for government, state-owned enterprise or regulated industry procurements. These types of regulations are in effect or under consideration in several jurisdictions where we do business.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act includes disclosure requirements applicable to public companies regarding the use of “conflict minerals” mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries, which we refer to collectively as the DRC, and procedures regarding a manufacturer's efforts to prevent the sourcing of such “conflict minerals.” These minerals are present in our products. In addition, the European Union reached agreement in late 2016 on a EU-wide conflict minerals rule under which most EU importers of tin, tungsten, tantalum, gold and their ores will have to conduct due diligence to

ensure the minerals do not originate from conflict zones and do not fund armed conflicts. Large manufacturers also will have to disclose how they plan to monitor their sources to comply with the rules. The regulation was adopted in 2017 with compliance required by 2021.

In addition, environmental laws and regulations relevant to electronic equipment manufacturing or operations, including laws and regulations governing the hazardous material content of our products and laws relating to the collection of and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment, may adversely impact our business and financial condition. These laws and regulations include, among others, the European Union, or EU, Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive, or RoHS. The EU RoHS and the similar laws of other jurisdictions limit the content of certain hazardous materials, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, in electronic equipment, including our products. Currently, our products comply with the EU RoHS requirements. However, certain exemptions are scheduled to lapse. The lapse of any exemption, further changes to this or other laws, or passage of similar laws in the EU or other jurisdictions, would require us to cease selling non-compliant products and to reengineer our products to use components compatible with these regulations. This reengineering and component substitution could result in additional costs to us, disrupt our operations or logistics, and result in an adverse impact on our operating results. In addition, in validating the compliance of our products with applicable hazardous materials restrictions, we rely substantially on affirmations by our component suppliers as to the compliance of their products with respect to those same restrictions. Failure by our component suppliers to furnish accurate and timely information could subject us to penalties or liability for violation of such hazardous materials restrictions, interrupt our supply of products to the EU, and result in our customers refusing or being unable to purchase our products. Additionally, the EU and a number of other jurisdictions have adopted regulations requiring producers of electrical and electronic equipment to assume certain responsibilities for collecting, treating, recycling and disposing of products when they have reached the end of their useful life. Finally, the EU REACH regulations regulate the handling of certain chemical substances that may be used in our products.

In addition, as a contractor and subcontractor to U.S. government departments and agencies, we are subject to federal regulations pertaining to our IT systems. For instance, as a subcontractor to the U.S. Department of Defense, or DOD, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, or DFARS, required that our IT systems comply with the security and privacy controls described in National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-171, or NIST SP 800-171. The DFARS also requires that we flow the security control requirement down to certain of our own subcontractors. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in a loss of federal government business, subject us to claims or other remedies for non-compliance and negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The telecommunications industry is highly regulated, and our business and financial condition could be adversely affected by changes in regulations relating to the Internet telecommunications industry. Similarly, while there are currently few laws or regulations that apply directly to access to or commerce on IP networks, future regulations could include sales taxes on products sold via the Internet and Internet service provider access charges. We could be adversely affected by regulation of IP networks and commerce in any country where we market equipment and services to service providers or cloud provider companies. Regulations governing the range of services and business models that can be offered by service providers or cloud provider companies could adversely affect those customers' needs for products. For instance, in December 2017, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission repealed its 2015 regulations governing aspects of fixed broadband networks and wireless networks. This change in regulatory treatment of networks might impact service provider and cloud provider business models and their need for Internet telecommunications equipment and services. At the same time, several states have enacted their own laws and regulations governing certain aspects of fixed and wireless networks in the manner of the 2015 FCC regulations. These laws and regulations enacted by the states are or will be subject to legal challenges from the federal government and/or regulated providers. Also, many jurisdictions are evaluating or implementing regulations relating to cyber security, supply chain integrity, privacy and data protection, any of which can affect the market and requirements for networking and security equipment.

The adoption and implementation of additional regulations could reduce demand for our products, increase the cost of building and selling our products, result in product inventory write-offs, impact our ability to ship products into affected areas and recognize revenue in a timely manner, require us to spend significant time and expense to comply, and subject us to fines and civil or criminal sanctions or claims if we were to violate or become liable under such regulations. Any of these impacts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Governmental regulations and economic sanctions affecting the import or export of products generally or affecting products containing encryption capabilities in particular, could negatively affect our revenues and operating results.

The United States and various foreign governments have imposed controls and restrictions on the export of, among other things, products that contain or use encryption technology. Most of our products contain or use encryption technology and, consequently, are subject to such controls, requirements and restrictions. Certain governments, like those of Russia and China, control importation and in-country use of encryption items and technology. The scope, nature and severity of such controls vary widely across different countries and may change frequently over time.

Increasingly, governments have begun using export and import controls not only to further national security objectives but also to protect local industries and restrict proliferation of locally developed “emerging or foundational technology." For example, in 2018 the U.S. enacted the Export Control Reform Act, which expands the power of the Commerce Department to use export controls to protect domestic industry and to restrict the export of emerging and foundational technologies not currently subject to controls. In furtherance of that law, on November 19, 2018, the United States Department of Commerce sought public comment on how to define emerging technologies. Our ability to market and sell our products overseas may be impacted by such export controls.

Certain governments also impose special local content, certification, testing, source code review, escrow and governmental recovery of private encryption keys, or feature requirements on cybersecurity and other network equipment for purposes of government procurements. Similar requirements also may be imposed in procurements by state owned entities (“SOE’s”) or even private companies forming part of “critical network infrastructure” or supporting sensitive industries. For example, China, Vietnam and India have promulgated cybersecurity regulations affecting networking products that may impair our ability to profitably market and sell our products there. China, in particular, is expected to require implementation of non-standard Chinese encryption algorithms in products sold into certain government, SOE, critical infrastructure and sensitive industry (such as financial institutions) markets. In the U.S., there are new restrictions on the use of certain Chinese-origin components or systems in items sold to the U.S. government.

In addition, the U.S. and other governments have especially broad sanctions and embargoes prohibiting provision of goods or services to certain countries, and territories, and to certain sanctioned governments, legal entities and individuals. Some of these restrictions have been imposed not just to protect national security but also to protect domestic industries and to achieve political aims. For instance, the U.S. Department of Commerce in 2018 added to its Entity List a Chinese semiconductor manufacturer on the express basis that it threatens the viability of U.S. competitors; the Entity List traditionally is used to restrict exports to end users that pose a security risk. Particularly far reaching and complex are restrictions imposed by the U.S. and EU on exports to Russia and, in particular, to the disputed region of Crimea. We have implemented systems to detect and prevent sales into these restricted countries or to prohibited entities or individuals, but there can be no assurance that our third party, downstream resellers and distributors will abide by these restrictions or have processes in place to ensure compliance, especially where local government regulation might prohibit adherence to such restrictions.

In addition, governments sometimes impose additional taxes on certain imported products. For example, the United States and Chinese governments each have imposed tariffs on certain products originating from the other country. In 2018, the United States, for example, imposed tariffs on a large variety of products of China origin. As a result, beginning September 24, 2018, a large portion of Juniper products manufactured in China became subject to a 10% tariff on importation into the U.S. That tariff rate may increase to 25% on March 2, 2019, absent satisfactory outcome of continuing negotiations between the United States and China. The U.S. President has also indicated a readiness to further expand the scope of the tariffs on Chinese goods if negotiations are not successful; such action could subject an even wider range of Juniper products to tariff on importation into the U.S. Depending upon its duration and implementation, as well as our ability to mitigate their impact, these tariffs could materially affect our business, including in the form of increased cost of goods sold, increased pricing for customers, and reduced sales.

Governmental regulation of encryption or IP networking technology and regulation of imports or exports, or our failure to obtain required import or export approval for our products, or related economic sanctions could harm our international and domestic sales and adversely affect our revenues and operating results. In addition, failure to comply with such regulations could result in harm to our reputation and ability to compete in international markets, penalties, costs, seizure of assets (including source code) and restrictions on import or export privileges or adversely affect sales to government agencies or government-funded projects.

Our actual or perceived failure to adequately protect personal data could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A wide variety of provincial, state, national, foreign, and international laws and regulations apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, disclosure, transfer, and other processing of personal data. These privacy- and data protection-related laws and regulations are evolving, with new or modified laws and regulations proposed and implemented frequently and existing laws and regulations subject to new or different interpretations. Further, our legal and regulatory obligations in foreign jurisdictions are subject to unexpected changes, including the potential for regulatory or other governmental entities to enact new or additional laws or regulations, to issues rulings that invalidate prior laws or regulations, or to increase penalties significantly. Compliance with these laws and regulations can be costly and can delay or impede the development and offering of new products and services.

For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which became effective in May 2018, imposes more stringent data protection requirements, and provides for significantly greater penalties for noncompliance, than the EU laws that previously applied. Additionally, California recently enacted legislation, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which will become effective January 1, 2020. The CCPA will, among other requirements, require covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers, and allow such consumers new abilities to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. Legislators have stated that they intend to propose amendments to the CCPA before the effective date. It remains unclear the extent of the modifications that will be made to the CCPA, or how such modifications will be interpreted. The effects of the CCPA potentially are significant and may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply. We may also be subject to additional obligations relating to personal data by contract that industry standards apply to our practices. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations or other obligations to which we may be subject relating to personal data, or to protect personal data from unauthorized access, use, or other processing, could result in enforcement actions and regulatory investigations against us, claims for damages by customers and other affected individuals, fines, damage to our reputation, and loss of goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial performance, and business. Further, evolving and changing definitions of personal data and personal information, within the EU, the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere, including the classification of IP addresses, machine identification information, location data, and other information, may limit or inhibit our ability to operate or expand our business, including limiting business relationships and partnerships that may involve the sharing or uses of data, and may require significant costs, resources, and efforts in order to comply.

Our ability to develop, market, and sell products could be harmed if we are unable to retain or hire key personnel.

Our future success depends upon our ability to recruit and retain the services of executive, engineering, sales and marketing, and support personnel. The supply of highly qualified individuals, in particular engineers in very specialized technical areas, or sales people with specialized industry expertise, is limited and competition for such individuals is intense. None of our officers or key employees is bound by an employment agreement for any specific term. The loss of the services of any of our key employees, the inability to attract or retain personnel in the future or delays in hiring required personnel, engineers and sales people, and the complexity and time involved in replacing or training new employees, could delay the development and introduction of new products, and negatively impact our ability to market, sell, or support our products.

A number of our team members are foreign nationals who rely on visas and entry permits in order to legally work in the United States and other countries. In recent years, the United States has increased the level of scrutiny in granting H-1(B), L-1 and other business visas. In addition, the current U.S. administration has made immigration reform a priority. Compliance with United States immigration and labor laws could require us to incur additional unexpected labor costs and expenses or could restrain our ability to retain skilled professionals. Any of these restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

Our financial condition and results of operations could suffer if there is an impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite lives.

We are required to test intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, annually or more frequently if certain circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit and intangible assets below their carrying values. As of December 31, 2018 , our goodwill was $3,108.8 million and our intangible assets with indefinite lives was $49.0 million . When the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value of goodwill, or if the carrying amount of an intangible asset with an indefinite life exceeds its fair value, a charge to operations is recorded. Either event would result in incremental expenses for that quarter, which would reduce any earnings or increase any loss for the period in which the impairment was determined to have occurred. We have in the past recorded goodwill impairment charges. Declines in our level of revenues or declines in our operating margins, or sustained declines in our stock price, increase the risk that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives may become impaired in future periods.

Table of Contents

Our goodwill impairment analysis is sensitive to changes in key assumptions used in our analysis, such as expected future cash flows, the degree of volatility in equity and debt markets, and our stock price. If the assumptions used in our analysis are not realized, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets. However, any such impairment would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our results.

Our future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by the following: earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated earnings in countries where we have higher statutory rates; changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; expiration of, or lapses in, the R&D tax credit laws applicable to us; transfer pricing adjustments related to certain acquisitions, including the license of acquired intangibles under our intercompany R&D cost sharing arrangement; costs related to intercompany restructuring; tax effects of share-based compensation; challenges to our methodologies for valuing developed technology or intercompany arrangements; limitations on the deductibility of net interest expense; or changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof. For example, on July 24, 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, or the Court, issued an opinion in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner requiring related parties in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement to share expenses related to share-based compensation. On August 7, 2018, the Court withdrew its opinion to allow time for a reconstituted panel to confer. We are monitoring this case and any impact the final opinion may have on our financial statements. In addition, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017, made significant changes to the taxation of U.S. business entities that may have a meaningful impact to our provision for income taxes. These changes included a reduction to the federal corporate income tax rate, the current taxation of certain foreign earnings, the imposition of base-erosion prevention measures which may limit the deduction of certain transfer pricing payments, and possible limitations on the deductibility of net interest expense or corporate debt obligations. Accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act required significant judgments and estimates that are based on current interpretations of the Tax Act. The U.S. Department of the Treasury continues to issue Proposed Regulations that affect various components of the Act. Our future effective tax rate may be impacted by changes in interpretation of the regulations, as well as additional legislation and guidance regarding the Act.

Furthermore, on October 5, 2015, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD, an international association of 35 countries including the U.S., published final proposals under its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, or BEPS, Action Plan. The BEPS Action Plan includes fifteen Actions to address BEPS in a comprehensive manner and represents a significant change to the international corporate tax landscape. These proposals, as adopted by countries, may increase tax uncertainty and adversely affect our provision for income taxes. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and other tax authorities. It is possible that tax authorities may disagree with certain positions we have taken and any adverse outcome of such a review or audit could have a negative effect on our financial position and operating results. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes, but the determination of our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment by management, and there are transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements and may materially affect our financial results in the period or periods for which such determination is made. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from continuous examinations will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may face difficulties enforcing our proprietary rights, which could adversely affect our ability to compete.

We generally rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions on disclosure of confidential and proprietary information, to establish and maintain proprietary rights in our technology and products. Although we have been issued numerous patents and other patent applications are currently pending, there can be no assurance that any of our patent applications will result in issued patents or that any of our patents or other proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented or that our rights will, in fact, provide competitive advantages to us or protect our technology, any of which could result in costly product redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain product offerings and other competitive harm.

Table of Contents

In addition, despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. We generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, consultants, vendors, and customers, and generally limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. However, we cannot assure you that we have entered into such agreements with all parties who may have or have had access to our confidential information or that the agreements we have entered into will not be breached. We cannot guarantee that any of the measures we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology.

Furthermore, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. The outcome of any actions taken in these foreign countries may be different than if such actions were determined under the laws of the United States. Although we are not dependent on any individual patents or group of patents for particular segments of the business for which we compete, if we are unable to protect our proprietary rights in a market, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the substantial expense, time, and effort required to create innovative products that have enabled our success.

We are subject to risks arising from our international operations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from our international operations, and we plan to continue expanding our business in international markets. We conduct significant sales and customer support operations directly and indirectly through our distributors and value-added resellers in countries throughout the world and depend on the operations of our contract manufacturers and suppliers that are located outside of the United States. In addition, a portion of our R&D and our general and administrative operations are conducted outside the United States. In some countries, we may experience reduced intellectual property protection.

As a result of our international operations, we are affected by economic, business regulatory, social, and political conditions in foreign countries, including the following:


•	changes in general IT spending,


•	the imposition of government controls, inclusive of critical infrastructure protection;


•	changes or limitations in trade protection laws or other regulatory requirements, which may affect our ability to import or export our products from various countries;


•	laws that restrict sales of products developed or manufactured outside of the country;


•	varying and potentially conflicting laws and regulations;


•	fluctuations in local economies;


•	wage inflation or a tightening of the labor market;


•	tax policies that could have a business impact;


•	import tariffs imposed by the United States and reciprocal tariffs imposed by foreign countries;


•	data privacy rules and other regulations that affect cross border data flow; and


•	the impact of the following on customer spending patterns: political considerations, unfavorable changes in tax treaties or laws, natural disasters, epidemic disease, labor unrest, earnings expatriation restrictions, misappropriation of intellectual property, military actions, acts of terrorism, political and social unrest and difficulties in staffing and managing international operations.

Any or all of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, the U.K.’s exit from the EU, commonly referred to as Brexit, has caused, and may continue to cause, uncertainty in the global markets. Brexit, if implemented, will take some period of time to complete and could result in regulatory changes that impact our business. For example, changes to the way service providers conduct business and transmit data between the U.K. and the EU could require us to make changes to the way we handle customer data. We will also review the impact of any resulting

Table of Contents

changes to EU or U.K. law that could affect our operations, such as labor policies, financial planning, product manufacturing, and product distribution. Political and regulatory responses to the vote are still developing and we are in the process of assessing the impact the vote may have on our business as more information becomes available. Nevertheless, because we conduct business in the EU, including the U.K., any of the effects of Brexit, including those we cannot anticipate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

There remains significant risk that the U.K. will exit from the EU on March 30, 2019, without agreement between the EU and U.K. on terms addressing customs and trade matters. If it occurs, this “Hard Brexit” scenario would mean, among other things, that as of March 30, 2019, U.K. Customs would have to clear a far greater daily volume of imports than it has ever had to before. If U.K. Customs is not able to handle such increased volume as of the end of March, significant delays in imports may very well result, thereby potentially producing a short-term material adverse effect on our business. Hard Brexit could result in further short-term uncertainty and currency volatility. Additional currency volatility could drive a weaker British pound, which increases the cost of goods imported into our U.K. operations and may decrease the profitability of our U.K. operations. A weaker British pound versus the U.S. dollar also causes local currency results of our U.K. operations to be translated into fewer U.S. dollars during a reporting period. Any adjustments we make to our business and operations as a result of Brexit could result in significant time and expense to complete. Our business is also impacted by the negotiation and implementation of free trade agreements between the United States and other nations. Such agreements can reduce barriers to international trade and thus the cost of conducting business overseas. For instance, the United States recently reached a new trilateral trade agreement with the Governments of Canada and Mexico to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). If the United States withdraws from NAFTA and the three countries fail to approve the new agreement, known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (U.S.MCA), our cost of doing business within the three countries could increase.

Moreover, local laws and customs in many countries differ significantly from or conflict with those in the United States or in other countries in which we operate. In many foreign countries, it is common for others to engage in business practices that are prohibited by our internal policies and procedures or U.S. regulations applicable to us. There can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, channel partners, and agents will not take actions in violation of our policies and procedures, which are designed to ensure compliance with U.S. and foreign laws and policies. Violations of laws or key control policies by our employees, contractors, channel partners, or agents could result in termination of our relationship, financial reporting problems, fines, and/or penalties for us, or prohibition on the importation or exportation of our products, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our products are highly technical and if they contain undetected defects, errors or malware or do not meet customer quality expectations, our business could be adversely affected, and we may be subject to additional costs or lawsuits or be required to pay damages in connection with any alleged or actual failure of our products and services.

Our products are highly technical and complex, are critical to the operation of many networks, and, in the case of our security products, provide and monitor network security and may protect valuable information. Our products have contained and may contain one or more undetected errors, defects, malware, or security vulnerabilities. These errors may arise from hardware or software we produce or procure from third parties. Some errors in our products may only be discovered after a product has been installed and used by end-customers.

Any errors, defects, malware or security vulnerabilities discovered in our products after commercial release could result in monetary penalties, negative publicity, loss of revenues or delay in revenue recognition, loss of customers, loss of future business and reputation, penalties, and increased service and warranty cost, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, in the event an error, defect, malware, or vulnerability is attributable to a component supplied by a third-party vendor, we may not be able to recover from the vendor all of the costs of remediation that we may incur. In addition, we could face claims for product liability, tort, or breach of warranty or indemnification. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert management’s attention. If our business liability insurance coverage is inadequate, or future coverage is unavailable on acceptable terms or at all, our financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. Moreover, if our products fail to satisfy our customers' quality expectations for whatever reason, the perception of and the demand for our products could be adversely affected.

We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Because a substantial portion of our business is conducted outside the United States, we face exposure to adverse movements in non-U.S. currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

The majority of our revenues and expenses are transacted in U.S. Dollars. We also have some transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the British Pound, Chinese Yuan, Euro, and Indian Rupee related to our sales and service operations outside of the United States. An increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar could increase the real cost to our customers of our products in those markets outside the United States in which we sell in U.S. Dollars. This could negatively affect our ability to meet our customers' pricing expectations in those markets and may result in erosion of gross margin and market share. A weakened U.S. Dollar could increase the cost of local operating expenses and procurement of raw materials to the extent we must purchase components in foreign currencies.

Currently, we hedge currency exposures associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies and periodically hedge anticipated foreign currency cash flows, with the aim of offsetting the impact of currency fluctuations on these exposures. However, hedge activities can be costly, and hedging cannot fully offset all risks, including long-term declines or appreciation in the value of the U.S. Dollar. If our attempts to hedge against these risks are not successful, or if long-term declines or appreciation in the value of the U.S. Dollar persist, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

If we fail to adequately evolve our financial and managerial control and reporting systems and processes, our ability to manage and grow our business will be negatively affected.

Our ability to successfully offer our products and implement our business plan in a rapidly evolving market requires an effective planning, forecasting, and management process to enable us to effectively scale and adjust our business and business models in response to fluctuating market opportunities and conditions. We will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial control and our reporting systems and procedures in order to manage our business effectively in the future. If we fail to effectively improve our systems and processes or we fail to monitor and ensure that these systems and processes are being used correctly, our ability to manage our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be negatively affected.

If our products do not interoperate with our customers’ networks, installations will be delayed or cancelled and could harm our business.

Our products are designed to interface with our customers’ existing networks, each of which have different specifications and utilize multiple protocol standards and products from other vendors. Many of our customers’ networks contain multiple generations of products that have been added over time as these networks have grown and evolved. Our products must interoperate with many or all of the products within these networks as well as future products in order to meet our customers’ requirements. If we find errors in the existing software or defects in the hardware used in our customers’ networks, we may need to modify our software or hardware to fix or overcome these errors so that our products will interoperate and scale with the existing software and hardware, which could be costly and could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, if our products do not interoperate with those of our customers’ networks, demand for our products could be adversely affected or orders for our products could be cancelled. This could hurt our operating results, damage our reputation, and seriously harm our business and prospects.

Our products incorporate and rely upon licensed third-party technology, and if licenses of third-party technology do not continue to be available to us or are not available on terms acceptable to us, our revenues and ability to develop and introduce new products could be adversely affected.

We integrate licensed third-party technology into certain of our products. From time to time, we may be required to renegotiate our current third-party licenses or license additional technology from third-parties to develop new products or product enhancements or to facilitate new business models. Third-party licenses may not be available or continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. The failure to comply with the terms of any license, including free open source software, may result in our inability to continue to use such license. Some of our agreements with our licensors may be terminated for convenience by them. In addition, we cannot be certain that our licensors are not infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties or that our licensors have sufficient rights to the licensed intellectual property in all jurisdictions in which we may sell our products. Third- party technology we incorporate into our products that is deemed to infringe on the intellectual property of others may result, and in some cases has resulted, in limitations on our ability to source technology from those third parties, restrictions on our ability to sell products that incorporate the infringing technology, increased exposure to liability that we will be held responsible for incorporating the infringing technology in our products and increased costs involved in removing that technology from our products or developing substitute technology. Our inability to maintain or re-license any third-party licenses required in our products or our inability to obtain third-party licenses necessary to develop new products and product enhancements, could require us, if possible, to develop substitute technology or obtain substitute technology of lower quality or performance standards or at a greater cost, any of which could delay or prevent product shipment and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We rely on the availability and performance of information technology services provided by third parties, including IBM which will manage a significant portion of our systems.

Under the terms of our recent Master Services Agreement and certain Statements of Work, following a transition period, IBM will provide us with a broad range of information technology services, such as applications, including support, development and maintenance; infrastructure management and support, including for servers storage and network devices; and end user support including service desk. We expect that our businesses will become dependent on the services provided and systems operated for us by IBM and its third-party providers. While we believe that we conducted appropriate due diligence before entering into this agreement, the failure of one or more of these entities to meet our performance standards and expectations, including with respect to data security, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our success is dependent on our ability to maintain effective relationships with IBM and other third-party technology and service providers as well as the ability of IBM and any other third-party providers to perform as expected. We may terminate our agreement with IBM and any and all Statements of Work at any time on short notice for cause, convenience, certain specific performance failures, a breach of warranties by IBM, failure to transition, failure to transform, changes in law, force majeure, or a change in the control of either IBM or us. Depending on the type and timing of a termination, we may be required to pay certain termination amounts to IBM. IBM's only right to terminate the agreement is based on our failure to comply with certain terms applying to disputed payments.

Our ability to realize the expected benefits of this arrangement is subject to various risks, some of which are not within our complete control. These risks include, but are not limited to, disruption in services and the failure to protect the security and integrity of the Company's data under the terms of the agreement. We are unable to provide assurances that some or all of these risks will not occur. Failure to effectively mitigate these risks, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results. In addition, we could face significant additional costs or business disruption if our arrangement with IBM is terminated or impaired and we cannot find alternative IT services or support on commercially reasonable terms or on a timely basis or if we are unable to hire new employees in order to return these services in-house.

We are required to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and publicly disclose material weaknesses in our controls. Any adverse results from such evaluation may adversely affect investor perception, and our stock price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires our management to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and to disclose in our filing if such controls were unable to provide assurance that a material error would be prevented or detected in a timely manner. We have an ongoing program to review the design of our internal controls framework in keeping with changes in business needs, implement necessary changes to our controls design and test the system and process controls necessary to comply with these requirements. If in the future, our internal controls over financial reporting are determined to be not effective resulting in a material weakness or significant deficiency, investor perceptions regarding the reliability of our financial statements may be adversely affected which could cause a decline in the market price of our stock and otherwise negatively affect our liquidity and financial condition.

Failure to maintain our credit ratings could adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets.

The major credit rating agencies routinely evaluate our indebtedness. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, which include financial strength as well as transparency with rating agencies and timeliness of financial reporting. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our credit ratings and failure to do so could adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets.

We may be unable to generate the cash flow to satisfy our expenses, make anticipated capital expenditures or service our debt obligations, including the Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2018 , we have issued $2,150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which we refer to collectively as the Notes, and had $2,139.0 million in total outstanding debt, including $350 million of senior notes that mature in February 2019. In June 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement with certain institutional lenders that provides for a five-year $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which we refer to as the Revolving Credit Facility, with an option to increase the Revolving Credit Facility by up to an additional $200.0 million . The Credit Agreement will terminate in June 2019, at which point all amounts borrowed must be repaid. As of December 31, 2018 , no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to enable us to satisfy our expenses, make anticipated capital expenditures or service our indebtedness, including the Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility (if drawn upon). Our ability to pay our expenses, satisfy our debt obligations, refinance our debt obligations and fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. Based upon current levels of operations, we believe cash flow from operations and available cash will be adequate for at least the next twelve months to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness, including the Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility (if drawn upon). However, if we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or to borrow sufficient funds in the future to service our debt, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt (including the Notes) or obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to refinance our debt, sell assets or borrow more money on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

The indentures that govern the Notes contain various covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:


•	incur liens;


•	incur sale and leaseback transactions; and


•	consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another person.

The Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants along with customary affirmative and negative covenants that include the following:


•	maintenance of a leverage ratio no greater than 3.0x and an interest coverage ratio no less than 3.0x


•	covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, change their accounting or reporting policies, change their business and incur subsidiary indebtedness, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type.

As a result of these covenants, we are limited in the manner in which we can conduct our business, and we may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs. Accordingly, these restrictions may limit our ability to successfully operate our business. A failure to comply with these restrictions could lead to an event of default, which could result in an acceleration of the indebtedness. Our future operating results may not be sufficient to enable compliance with these covenants to remedy any such default. In addition, in the event of an acceleration, we may not have or be able to obtain sufficient funds to make any accelerated payments, including those under the Notes, and the Revolving Credit Facility (if drawn upon).

In addition, certain changes under the Tax Act may result in limitations on the deductibility of our net business interest expenses. The Tax Act generally limits the annual deduction for net business interest expense to an amount equal to 30% of adjusted taxable income. As a result, if our taxable income were to decline, we may not be able to fully deduct our net interest expense. These changes, among others under the Tax Act, could result in increases to our future U.S. tax expenses, which could have a material impact on our business.

A portion of the transaction consideration we received from the divestiture of our Junos Pulse product portfolio is in the form of a non-contingent seller promissory note and we may not receive the amount owed to us (including accrued interest), including in the time frame contemplated, by the buyer under the note.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we completed the sale of our Junos Pulse product portfolio to an affiliate of Siris Capital, a private equity firm, for total consideration of $230.7 million, of which $125.0 million was in the form of an 18-month non-contingent interest-bearing promissory note issued to the Company. On May 1, 2017, we received a principal payment in the amount of $75.0 million and outstanding interest on the note, and we and the issuer agreed to further amend the terms of the note with respect to the remaining approximately $58.0 million to, among other things, extend the maturity date from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2022, provide that interest due can be paid in kind by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the note and subordinate the note to other debt issued by senior lenders. Since a portion of the transaction consideration is in the form of a non-contingent seller promissory note and the note is subordinated to debt issued by senior lenders, there is the risk that we may not receive the amount owed to us (including accrued interest), including in the time frame contemplated, under the note. In the event that the promissory note is not repaid on the terms we contemplate, any collection or restructuring efforts we undertake

Table of Contents

may be costly and require significant time and attention from our management and there is no guarantee that we will be able to recover the amounts owed to us in full.

Our failure to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders or the failure to meet our commitments to return capital to our stockholders could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

Our ability to pay quarterly dividends or achieve our intended capital return policy will be subject to, among other things, our financial position and results of operations, available cash and cash flow, capital and debt service requirements, use of cash for acquisitions and other factors. Any failure to pay or increase future dividends as announced, or a reduction or discontinuation of quarterly dividends could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

In November 2018, we announced that for 2019, we intend to target a capital return policy, inclusive of share repurchases and dividends, of approximately 75% of annual free cash flow. Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. In January 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new $2.0 billion buyback authorization, which replaced our prior authorization. In February 2018, as a part of our new buyback authorization, we entered into a $750.0 million accelerated share repurchase program, or ASR, which was completed in the third quarter of 2018, and our Board of Directors declared an increase to our quarterly cash dividend to $0.18 per share, which reflects an increase of 80% compared to previous quarterly dividends. In January 2019, our Board of Directors declared an increase to our quarterly cash dividend to $0.19 per share. Any failure to meet our commitments to return capital to our stockholders could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

The investment of our cash balance and our investments in government and corporate debt securities and equity securities are subject to risks, which may cause losses and affect the liquidity of these investments.

At December 31, 2018 , we had $2,489.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1,269.1 million in short-and long-term investments. We have invested these amounts primarily in asset-backed securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, foreign government debt securities, money market funds, mutual funds, time deposits, U.S. government agency securities, and U.S. government securities. We also have $90.4 million in other long-term assets for our investments in privately-held companies. Certain of our investments are subject to general credit, liquidity, market, sovereign debt, and interest rate risks. Our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or if the decline in fair value of our publicly traded debt or equity investments is judged to be other-than-temporary. These market risks associated with our investment portfolio may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that, unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware) is the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, or other employees to us or to our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our restated certificate of incorporation, or our bylaws; (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim as to which Delaware General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery or (v) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The exclusive forum provisions in our bylaws may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our current or former directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our current or former directors, officers, and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the exclusive forum provisions contained in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could have a material and adverse impact on our business.

Uninsured losses could harm our operating results.

We self-insure against many business risks and expenses, such as intellectual property litigation, cybersecurity and our medical benefit programs, where we believe we can adequately self-insure against the anticipated exposure and risk or where insurance is either not deemed cost-effective or is not available. We also maintain a program of insurance coverage for various types of property, casualty, and other risks. We place our insurance coverage with various carriers in numerous jurisdictions. The types and amounts of insurance that we obtain vary from time to time and from location to location, depending on availability, cost, and our decisions with respect to risk retention. The policies are subject to deductibles, policy limits, and exclusions that result in our retention of a level of risk on a self-insurance basis. In addition, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to compensate us

Table of Contents

for all losses or failures that may occur. Losses not covered by insurance could be substantial and unpredictable and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our stock price may fluctuate.

Historically, our common stock has experienced substantial price volatility, particularly as a result of variations between our actual financial results and the published expectations of analysts and as a result of announcements by our competitors and us. Furthermore, speculation in the press or investment community about our strategic position, financial condition, results of operations, business, security of our products, or significant transactions can cause changes in our stock price. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of many technology companies in particular and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. From time to time, economic weakness has contributed to extreme price and volume fluctuations in global stock markets that have also reduced the market price of many technology company stocks, including ours. These factors, as well as general economic and political conditions and the announcement of proposed and completed acquisitions or other significant transactions, or any difficulties associated with such transactions, by us or our current or potential competitors, may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock in the future.

ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

ITEM 2. Properties

Our corporate headquarters are located on 80 acres of owned land in Sunnyvale, California and includes approximately 0.7 million square feet of owned buildings. In addition to our owned facilities, we lease approximately 0.1 million square feet in buildings in Sunnyvale, California as part of our corporate headquarters as of December 31, 2018 .

In addition to our leased buildings in Sunnyvale, we also lease space (including offices and other facilities) in various locations throughout the United States, Canada, South America, EMEA, and APAC regions, including offices in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2018 , we leased approximately 1.6 million square feet worldwide, with approximately 31% in North America. The respective operating leases expire at various times through November 2029 . In addition, in July 2015 we entered into a lease arrangement through March 2026 for approximately 63,000 square feet of space in the State of Washington. Each leased facility is subject to an individual lease or sublease, which could provide various options to renew/terminate the agreement or to expand/contract the leased space. We believe that our current offices and other facilities are in good condition and appropriately support our current business needs. We may improve, replace or reduce facilities as considered appropriate to meet the needs of our operations.

For additional information regarding obligations under our leases, see Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies , in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report.

PART II

ITEM 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

The principal market in which our common stock is traded is the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol JNPR.

Stockholders

As of February 15, 2019 , there were 742 stockholders of record of our common stock and we believe a substantially greater number of beneficial owners who hold shares through brokers, banks or other nominees.

Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $0.18 per share each quarter, totaling $249.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 . In January 2019 , we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share of common stock to be paid on March 22, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2019 . The declaration and amount of any future cash dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our financial performance, economic outlook, and any other relevant considerations.

Unregistered Securities Issued

On December 6, 2018, we issued 105,317 shares of our common stock as consideration to an individual in connection with the 2016 AppFormix acquisition.

On December 7, 2018, we issued 56,692 shares of our common stock as consideration to one individual in connection with the HTBase acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The issuance of the above securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and/or the private offering safe harbor provision of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

During the three months ended December 31, 2018 , there were no share repurchases under our Board approved 2018 Stock Repurchase Program, which authorized us to purchase an aggregate of up to $2.0 billion of our common stock. Future share repurchases will be subject to a review of the circumstances in place at that time and will be made from time to time in private transactions or open market purchases as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, including Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act. This program may be discontinued at any time.

⁽¹⁾

Fiscal year 2016 includes the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03 (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Other long-term assets and long-term debt in the prior years were retrospectively adjusted to conform to the required presentation.


⁽²⁾	Fiscal 2017 includes an estimated $394.0 million recorded in long-term income taxes payable related to the one-time transition tax as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

⁽³⁾

Fiscal year 2017 includes the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 (Topic 718) Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplified several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for forfeitures, among other things. We elected to account for forfeitures as they occur using a modified retrospective transition method, rather than estimating forfeitures, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment of $9.0 million, which increased the January 1, 2017 opening accumulated deficit balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

⁽⁴⁾

Fiscal 2018 includes the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition that superseded the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry specific guidance. We adopted the standard under the modified retrospective approach, applying the amendments to prospective reporting periods. Upon adoption, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $324.7 million , which decreased the January 1, 2018 opening accumulated deficit balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheet primarily due to the application of the new guidance in the areas of distributor sales, software revenue, variable consideration, revenue allocation, and contract acquisition costs.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes in Item 8 of Part II of this Report.

The following discussion is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. In the course of operating our business, we routinely make decisions as to the timing of the payment of invoices, the collection of receivables, the manufacturing and shipment of products, the fulfillment of orders, the purchase of supplies, and the building of inventory and spare parts, among other matters. In making these decisions, we consider various factors including contractual obligations, customer satisfaction, competition, internal and external financial targets and expectations, and financial planning objectives. Each of these decisions has some impact on the financial results for any given period. For further information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section included in this “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

To aid in understanding our operating results for the periods covered by this Report, we have provided an executive overview, which includes a summary of our business and market environment along with a financial results and key performance metrics overview. These sections should be read in conjunction with the more detailed discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in this Item 7, our “Risk Factors” section included in Item 1A of Part I, and our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of Part II of this Report.

Executive Overview

Business and Market Environment

Juniper designs, develops, and sells products and services for high-performance networks to enable customers to build scalable, reliable, secure and cost-effective networks for their businesses, while achieving agility and improved operating efficiency through automation.

Our products are sold in three geographic regions: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa, or EMEA; and Asia Pacific, or APAC. We sell our high-performance network products and service offerings across routing, switching, and security technologies. In addition to our products, we offer our customers services, including maintenance and support, professional services, and education and training programs. Our products and services address high-performance network requirements for our customers within our verticals: Cloud, Service Provider, and Enterprise who view their network as critical to their success. We believe our silicon, systems, and software represent innovations that transform the economics and experience of networking, helping our customers achieve superior performance, greater choice, and flexibility, while reducing overall total cost of ownership.

Further, our intent is to expand our software business by introducing new software solutions to our product portfolio that simplify the operation of networks, and allow our customers across our key verticals flexibility in consumption and deployment. We believe our software revenues as a percentage of total revenues will increase over time as we introduce new software product offerings and business models designed to better monetize the value of our software offerings.

We believe the network needs for our customers in our Cloud, Service Provider, and Enterprise verticals are converging, as these customers recognize the need for high performance networks and are adopting cloud architectures for their infrastructure and service delivery, such as large public and private data centers and service provider edge data centers, for improved agility and greater levels of operating efficiency.

In 2018, we continued to experience weakness within our Cloud and Service provider verticals. In our Cloud vertical, certain large Cloud customers were transitioning their network architecture as they continued to add capacity. This resulted in these customers transitioning from purchasing our MX product family to our PTX product family which contributed to the decline in our net revenues as the PTX product family has a lower average selling price compared to the MX product family. We believe the MX to PTX transition is largely behind us; however, the pace of deployments in a portion of our Cloud customer’s networks has been slower than expected. Nevertheless, we are focused on the Cloud vertical as well as the transition to 400-gig Ethernet, or 400G, which we believe will present further opportunities for Juniper across our portfolio as our Cloud customers value high-performance, highly compact, power efficient infrastructures, which we support and continue to develop.

Table of Contents

In our Service Provider vertical, changes in business models and the increase in industry consolidation, such as acquisitions, mergers, and partnerships may continue to impact Service Provider investment and the build-out of their networks in the near-term, however, we believe that our Service Provider customers will need to invest in the build-out of high performance networks and the transformation of existing legacy infrastructure to distributed cloud environments. We are committed to this transformation, which we refer to as the Telco Cloud transformation, as our Service Provider customers rearchitect their infrastructure to enable, among other things, next generation mobile network build-outs, or 5G. We are well positioned to capitalize on 5G carrier deployments with the refresh of our MX 5G product and Contrail solutions as well as our new partnership with Ericsson to accelerate 5G initiatives by leveraging each company’s complementary portfolios to drive our competitive advantage in the marketplace. We believe these products and partnership position Juniper for improved Service Provider spending in late 2019.

We remain confident in our strategy and we are executing against our innovation roadmap, as each of our industry verticals transitions to cloud architectures. We believe our understanding of high-performance networking technology and cloud architecture, and our strategy, position us to capitalize on the industry transition to more automated, cost-efficient, scalable networks.

In 2018, we continued to execute on our product and solutions strategy and announced several new innovations, including a new 400G optimized routing platform; a new high-performance MX Series 5G Universal Routing Platform with new programmable silicon; an upgrade to our high-end SRX firewall offering with our SPC3 Advanced Security Acceleration line card; and our multi-cloud orchestration and telemetry platform including Contrail Edge Cloud and Contrail Enterprise Multicloud, each of which, we believe, will help strengthen our position across our core markets. We also announced new initiatives under an existing partnership with Nutanix, which we expect will help strengthen our ability to capitalize on multicloud with our Contrail Enterprise Multicloud integration with Nutanix’s application programming interface, or APIs to provide enhanced network visibility.

In late 2018, we completed the acquisition of HTBase, a software company that has developed a unique and disruptive platform for software-defined enterprise multicloud, which we expect will accelerate our leadership in multicloud and function with the compute orchestration capabilities of Contrail Enterprise Multicloud. We will continue to look at targeted and strategic acquisitions that we believe can complement our portfolio, operations, R&D strategy, and overall business.

In 2019, we believe we will continue to experience weakness with our Cloud customers in the near-term, as deployment cycles remain difficult to predict; however, we remain confident in our competitive position with our strategic Cloud customers. We are taking a number of actions that we believe will help Juniper achieve year-over-year revenue growth at some point in the second half of 2019 such as: (1) new product offerings which include new MX line cards to capitalize on 5G carrier initiatives; 400G platforms to capture data center footprint; and new enhancements to our Contrail Enterprise Multicloud platform that make it simpler and more cost effective, (2) transitioning our sales organization to better align with our sales strategy, and (3) monetizing our software offerings through subscriptions. Further, we believe the 400G upgrade cycle, 5G deployments, and enterprise multicloud initiatives each represent large opportunities where are well positioned to benefit over the next several years.

Financial Results and Key Performance Metrics Overview

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which we refer to as Topic 606. The standard provides guidance for revenue recognition that superseded the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, which we refer to as Topic 605, and most industry specific guidance. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report for further discussion on the adoption of Topic 606. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the historic accounting under Topic 605.

The following table provides an overview of our financial results and key financial metrics (in millions, except per share amounts, percentages, and days sales outstanding, or DSO):

Net Revenues: During 2018 , net revenues decreased compared to 2017 , primarily due to lower routing product revenues from our Cloud and Service Provider verticals in the Americas. We experienced ongoing networking architectural transitions and a slower than expected pace of deployments for certain large Cloud customers as well as a decline in our Service Provider business due to the timing of deployments. The year-over-year decline in product net revenues was partially offset by broad-based revenue growth in our Enterprise vertical. Excluding the impact of Topic 606, our service net revenues would have increased during the 2018 , compared to 2017, primarily due to strong renewal and attach rates of support contracts. Of our top ten customers for 2018 , five were Cloud, four were Service Provider, and one was an Enterprise.

Table of Contents

During 2018 , the adoption of Topic 606 resulted in a decrease in revenue recognition of $22.6 million due to lower service revenues, partially offset by higher product revenues. Service revenues during 2018 were lower by $122.9 million under Topic 606, compared to Topic 605, primarily due to the impact of revenue allocation between products and services. Product revenues during 2018 were higher by $100.3 million under Topic 606, compared to Topic 605, primarily due to the impact of revenue allocation between products and services and the timing of revenue recognition of certain contracts that were precluded by Topic 605, partially offset by variable consideration. The product revenues increase from Topic 606 was primarily allocated between routing and switching.


•	Gross Margin: Our gross margin as a percentage of net revenues decreased during 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to lower net revenues and product mix, resulting from the year-over-year decline in routing revenues from our Cloud and Service Provider verticals, and to a lesser extent, the impact of Topic 606, partially offset by improvements in our cost structure.


•	Operating Margin: During 2018 , compared to 2017 , operating income as a percentage of net revenues decreased primarily due to the drivers described in the gross margin discussion above, partially offset by a net decrease in our operating expenses during 2018 , compared to 2017 , as a result of lower restructuring charges.


•	Net Income: During 2018 , net income increased compared to 2017 , primarily driven by a lower statutory tax rate due to the Tax Act and tax benefits related to items unique to 2018. See Note 14, Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report, for further discussion.

•

Operating Cash Flows: Net cash provided by operations decreased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to higher cash collections from customers during 2017 related to service renewals invoiced during the fourth quarter of 2016, partially offset by a decline in cash paid for personnel-related costs, principally as a result of a reduction in headcount and lower incentive compensation, and a decrease in payments to suppliers.


•	Capital Return: In 2018, we repurchased 29.3 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate amount of $750.0 million through the completion of a $750.0 million accelerated share repurchase program, or ASR. During 2018 , we also paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share, for an aggregate amount of $249.3 million .


•	DSO: DSO is calculated as the ratio of ending accounts receivable, net of allowances, divided by net revenues for the preceding 90 days. DSO for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 decreased , compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017 , primarily due to lower overall invoicing volume, partially offset by lower revenues.


•	Deferred Revenue: Total deferred revenue decreased as of December 31, 2018 , compared to December 31, 2017 , due to the impact of adoption of Topic 606. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report, for further discussion.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales returns, pricing credits, warranty costs, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-term assets, especially goodwill and intangible assets, contract manufacturer liabilities, assumptions used in the valuation of share-based compensation, and litigation. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. For further information about our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies , in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report, which describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounting policies described below are significantly affected by critical accounting estimates. Such accounting policies require significant judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future consolidated results of operations may be affected.

Goodwill: We make significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments when valuing goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with the initial purchase price allocation of an acquired entity, as well as when evaluating impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets on an ongoing basis. These estimates are based upon a number of factors, including historical experience, market conditions, and information obtained from the management of the acquired company. Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, historical and projected customer retention rates, anticipated growth in revenue from the acquired customer and product base, and the expected use of the acquired assets. These factors are also considered in determining the useful life of the acquired intangible assets. The amounts and useful lives assigned to identified intangible assets impacts the amount and timing of future amortization expense.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below our operating segment level, by comparing the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The reporting units are determined based on the components of our operating segment that constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available, and segment management regularly review the operating results of the component.

The provisions of the accounting standard for goodwill and other intangibles allow us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Various factors are considered in the qualitative assessment, including macroeconomic conditions, financial performance, or a sustained decrease in share price. If as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is deemed more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management will perform the quantitative test.

The quantitative goodwill impairment test, if necessary, involves a two-step process to identify goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized, if any. The first step tests for potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the reporting unit’s carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit, then we perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. The second step requires an assignment of the reporting unit’s fair value to the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities, using the relevant acquisition accounting guidance, to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill, and if the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, we record an impairment loss equal to the difference.

In the first step, the fair value of each of our reporting units is determined using both the income and market valuation approaches. We believe the income approach and the market approach are equally representative of the reporting unit’s fair value. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows that the reporting unit is expected to generate over its remaining life. Under the market approach, the value of the reporting unit is based on an analysis that compares the value of the reporting unit to values of publicly-traded companies in similar lines of business. In the application of the income and market valuation approaches, we are required to make estimates of future operating trends and judgments on discount rates and other variables. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is highly judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results related to assumed variables could differ from these estimates. In addition, we make certain judgments and assumptions in allocating shared assets and liabilities to determine the carrying values for each of our reporting units.

Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital, adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the business's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on market multiples of earnings derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting units, and then apply a control premium, which is determined by

Table of Contents

considering control premiums offered as part of the acquisitions that have occurred in market segments that are comparable with our reporting units. The income approach and the market approach are equally weighted to derive the fair value of the reporting unit.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, we performed a quantitative assessment for all of our reporting units: Routing, Switching, and Security. This quantitative assessment was performed by determining the fair value of each reporting unit using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Based on the results of the quantitative assessments, we determined that the fair value of each reporting unit significantly exceeded its respective carrying value, resulting in no goodwill impairment.

•

Inventory Valuation and Contract Manufacturer Liabilities: Inventory consists primarily of component parts to be used in the manufacturing process and finished goods in-transit, and is stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. A provision is recorded when inventory is determined to be in excess of anticipated demand or obsolete, to adjust inventory to its estimated realizable value. In determining the provision, we also consider estimated recovery rates based on the nature of the inventory. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , our net inventory balances were $82.0 million and $97.8 million , respectively.

We establish a liability for non-cancelable, non-returnable purchase commitments with our contract manufacturers for quantities in excess of our demand forecasts or obsolete materials charges for components purchased by contract manufacturers based on our demand forecasts or customer orders. We also take estimated recoveries of aged inventory into consideration when determining the liability. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , our contract manufacturer liabilities were $30.4 million and $22.0 million , respectively.

Significant judgment is used in establishing our forecasts of future demand, recovery rates based on the nature and age of inventory, and obsolete material exposures. We perform a detailed analysis and review of data used in establishing our demand forecasts. If the actual component usage and product demand are significantly lower than forecast, which may be caused by factors within and outside of our control, or if there were a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and our customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory write-downs and contract manufacturer liabilities, which could have an adverse impact on our gross margins and profitability. We regularly evaluate our exposure for inventory write-downs and adequacy of our contract manufacturer liabilities. Inventory and supply chain management remains an area of focus as we balance the risk of material obsolescence and supply chain flexibility in order to reduce lead times.

•

Revenue Recognition: We enter into contracts to sell our products and services, and while some of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions, there are agreements that contain non-standard terms and conditions and include promises to transfer multiple goods or services. As a result, significant interpretation and judgment are sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting for these transactions, including: (1) whether performance obligations are considered distinct that should be accounted for separately versus together, how the price should be allocated among the performance obligations, and when to recognize revenue for each performance obligation; (2) developing an estimate of the stand-alone selling price, or SSP, of each distinct performance obligation; (3) combining contracts that may impact the allocation of the transaction price between product and services; and (4) estimating and accounting for variable consideration, including rights of return, rebates, price protection, expected penalties or other price concessions as a reduction of the transaction price.

Our estimates of SSP for each performance obligation require judgment that considers multiple factors, including, but not limited to, historical discounting trends for products and services, pricing practices in different geographies and through different sales channels, gross margin objectives, internal costs, competitor pricing strategies, and industry technology lifecycles. Our estimates for rights of return, rebates, and price protection are based on historical sales returns and price protection credits, specific criteria outlined in customer contracts or rebate agreements, and other factors known at the time. Our estimates for expected penalties and other price concessions are based on historical trends and expectations regarding future incurrence.

Changes in judgments with respect to these assumptions and estimates could impact the timing or amount of revenue recognition.

Income Taxes: We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our taxes. Although we believe our reserves are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

Significant judgment is also required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries that have lower tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher tax rates; by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; by expiration of, or lapses in the R&D tax credit laws; by transfer pricing adjustments, including the effect of acquisitions on our intercompany R&D cost-sharing arrangement and legal structure; by tax effects of nondeductible compensation; by tax costs related to intercompany realignments; by changes in accounting principles; or by changes in tax laws and regulations, including possible U.S. changes to the taxation of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, the deductibility of expenses attributable to foreign income, or the foreign tax credit rules. In addition, the OECD’s recommended changes to numerous long-standing tax principles, as adopted by countries, will increase tax uncertainty and may adversely affect our provision for income taxes. Significant judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement attributes prescribed in the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes applies to all income tax positions, including the potential recovery of previously paid taxes, which if settled unfavorably could adversely affect our provision for income taxes or additional paid-in capital. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these continuous examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

•

Loss Contingencies: We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, including those involving our IP, commercial, securities and employment matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. We use significant judgment and assumptions to estimate the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset, or the incurrence of a liability, in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We record a charge equal to the minimum estimated liability for litigation costs or a loss contingency only when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of our consolidated financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required.

________________________________


^(*)	Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period classifications.

2018 Compared to 2017

Product net revenues decreased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to Cloud and Service Provider, impacting routing and switching in the Americas. The decrease in product revenues was partially offset by the impact of Topic 606 and growth in Enterprise.

The decrease in routing and switching revenues in the Americas was driven by the networking architectural transitions for certain large Cloud customers due to the timing of deployments and a decline in our Service Provider business, resulting in lower net revenues from our MX, PTX, and QFX product families. For PTX, the decline was primarily due to the pace of deployments for certain large Cloud customers. We believe PTX sales will increase as incremental capacity requirements eventually drive improved demand. The decline was partially offset by broad-based revenue growth in Enterprise across all technologies and geographies. Given the strength in our Enterprise vertical, strong customer interest in our new platforms, such as Contrail Enterprise MultiCloud and MX10003, and the investments we are making in our enterprise sales strategy, we believe our Enterprise vertical will continue to contribute to revenue growth in 2019. We also saw strength in EMEA driven by the aforementioned revenue growth in Enterprise,

Table of Contents

as well as higher revenues from Service Provider customers, resulting from our solutions based sales strategy to enable the Telco Cloud transformation and enterprise multicloud initiatives.

We experienced growth in revenues from our security business during 2018 , compared to 2017 , across all verticals as customers transitioned to our newer product offerings. We expect that our security business will see year-over-year growth for the full year 2019 .

Service net revenues decreased during 2018 , compared to 2017 , due to the impact of Topic 606. Excluding the impact of Topic 606, our service net revenues would have increased year-over-year, driven primarily by strong renewal and attach rates of support contracts.

2017 Compared to 2016

Product net revenues decreased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to a decrease in routing and, to a lesser extent, security, partially offset by growth in switching.

Lower routing revenues were driven by Cloud customers in the Americas as a result of the ongoing architectural shifts in the Cloud vertical to more automated, cost efficient, and scalable networks. Routing revenues in EMEA also declined year-over-year due to lower sales from Service Provider customers, partially offset by revenue growth in APAC from our Service Provider vertical. As we continue to expand our footprint with certain strategic APAC Service Provider and Cloud customers, we expect these strategic opportunities will ultimately help to drive revenue growth in APAC, however the timing is difficult to predict. Revenues from our MX and legacy routing products declined year-over-year, which was partially offset by an increase in revenues from our PTX products from the continued adoption of our PTX1000 series of products.

Security net revenues declined in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily driven by a decrease in our high-end SRX series as it had been undergoing a product refresh cycle and the decline in our Other Legacy products.

The decline in product net revenues was partially offset by an increase in switching net revenues due to continued growth from our data center switching portfolio, particularly from our QFX product family, which grew 25% year-over-year. This growth was across public and private clouds, driven in part by 100G adoption. The switching net revenue growth was primarily driven by the Cloud vertical in the Americas and, to a lesser extent, our Enterprise vertical.

Service net revenues increased during in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to strong renewal and attach rates of support contracts. Additionally, we saw strong year-over-year services revenue growth in APAC and EMEA.

Customer

No customer accounted for greater than 10% of our net revenues during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 .

Gross Margins

The following table presents gross margins (in millions, except percentages):

Percentage of product revenues	58.9		%	60.5		%	62.4		%
Service gross margin	911.3			986.8			901.8			(75.5		)	(8	)%	85.0			9	%
Percentage of service revenues	59.2		%	62.4		%	61.7		%
Total gross margin	$	2,741.2		$	3,072.1		$	3,104.5		$	(330.9	)	(11	)%	$	(32.4	)	(1	)%
Percentage of net revenues	59.0		%	61.1		%	62.2		%

Our gross margins as a percentage of net revenues have been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the mix and average selling prices of our products and services, new product introductions and enhancements, manufacturing, component and logistics costs, expenses for inventory obsolescence and warranty obligations, cost of support and service personnel, customer mix as we continue to expand our footprint with certain strategic customers, the mix of distribution channels through

Table of Contents

which our products and services are sold, and import tariffs. For example, the United States recently imposed a tariff on networking products imported from China, which includes certain products that we import into and sell within the United States. These import tariffs could have a significant impact to our gross margins in the event we are unable to meaningfully mitigate their impact. For more information on the potential impact of tariffs on our business, see the “Risk Factors” section of Item 1A of Part II of this Report .

2018 Compared to 2017

Product gross margin

Product gross margin as a percentage of product revenues decreased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to lower net revenues and product mix, resulting from the year-over-year decline in routing revenues from our Cloud and Service Provider verticals, partially offset by the impact of Topic 606 and improvements in our cost structure. We continue to undertake specific efforts to address certain factors impacting our product gross margin. These efforts include performance and quality improvements through engineering to increase value across our products; optimizing our supply chain and service business; pricing management; and increasing software and solution sales; however, there can be no guarantee that these efforts will be successful or that they will be realized in the time frame we anticipate.

Service gross margin

Service gross margin as a percentage of service net revenues decreased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , due to lower revenues from the impact of Topic 606, increased professional services costs to support our software deployments, and higher service delivery costs, partially offset by lower personnel-related costs.

2017 Compared to 2016

Product gross margin

Product gross margin as a percentage of product revenues decreased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to lower product net revenues, customer mix, and product mix resulting from the year-over-year decline in routing revenues and our customers' architectural shifts, partially offset by improvements in our cost structure.

Service gross margin

Service gross margin as a percentage of service net revenues increased in 2017, compared to 2016, due to higher service revenues, partially offset by higher material and higher delivery costs.

Table of Contents

Our operating expenses have historically been driven in large part by personnel-related costs, including salaries and wages; commissions and bonuses, which we refer to collectively as variable compensation; benefits; share-based compensation; and travel. Facility and information technology, or IT, departmental costs are allocated to each department based on usage and headcount. We had a total of 9,283, 9,381, and 9,832 employees as of December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively. Our headcount decreased by 98 employees, or 1%, in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to our restructuring plan initiated in the third quarter of 2018 to realign our workforce as a result of organizational and leadership changes, which we refer to as the 2018 Restructuring Plan. Our headcount decreased by 451 employees, or 5%, in 2017 , compared to 2016 , primarily due to our restructuring plan initiated in the first quarter of 2017 to realign our workforce and increase operational efficiency, which we refer to as the 2017 Restructuring Plan.

2018 Compared to 2017

Research and development

Research and development expense, or R&D, increased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to higher personnel-related costs, including an increase in share-based compensation expense of $34.4 million driven by higher expense from the modification of certain performance share awards, or PSAs, whose vesting is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones, and higher variable compensation expense of $17.8 million. The increase was partially offset by lower salaries and wages of $26.7 million due to a geographic shift in headcount to lower cost regions, as well as a reduction in headcount from restructuring actions.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expense decreased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , due to lower personnel-related costs of $10.9 million primarily resulting from a decline in headcount of 49 employees driven by restructuring actions and lower costs of $9.3 million from a decrease in the number of marketing events held in 2018, compared to 2017. The decrease was partially offset by higher outside service costs of $7.1 million related to consulting projects.

General and administrative

General and administrative expense increased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to higher acquisition costs related to our 2018 business acquisition of HTBase, partially offset by a decline in outside service costs resulting from fewer consulting projects and lower legal costs.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges decreased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to lower restructuring charges from the 2018 Restructuring Plan, compared to the 2017 Restructuring Plan.

See Note 18, Subsequent Events , in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report for a discussion of our restructuring plan initiated subsequent to December 31, 2018 .

2017 Compared to 2016

Research and development

Research and development expense, decreased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to a decline in personnel-related costs, including lower share-based compensation of $39.8 million primarily driven by lower expense from certain PSAs, whose vesting is contingent upon the achievement of financial performance metrics or certain performance milestones, and lower variable compensation of $13.7 million. The decrease was partially offset by higher costs related to certain R&D project cancellations of $11.4 million and higher prototype costs of $10.4 million.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expense decreased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to a decline in personnel-related costs of $20.5 million, including lower variable compensation of $15.5 million primarily as a result of lower commissions expense and lower salaries and wages driven by a decrease in headcount as a result of the 2017 Restructuring Plan.

Table of Contents

General and administrative

General and administrative expense increased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to litigation settlement charges pursuant to a litigation settlement reached in November 2017 in connection with a legal proceeding of approximately $13.0 million, partially offset by a decline in other legal costs of $6.4 million.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges increased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to severance and contract termination costs recorded under the 2017 Restructuring Plan.

Other Expense, Net

The following table presents other expense, net (in millions, except percentages):

N/M - percentage is not meaningful.

Other Expense, Net

Interest income primarily includes interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, investments, and promissory note issued to us in connection with the sale of Junos Pulse. Interest expense primarily includes interest, net of capitalized interest expense, from long-term debt and customer financing arrangements. (Loss) gain on investments, net, primarily includes gains from the sale of investments in public and privately-held companies, and any observable changes in fair value and impairment charges recorded on these investments. Other typically consists of foreign exchange gains and losses and other non-operational income and expense items.

2018 Compared to 2017

Interest Income

Interest income increased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to higher interest income related to our fixed income investment portfolio, as a result of higher yields on our investments, partially offset by lower average investment balances.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to distributor financing arrangements from extended payment terms financing.

(Loss) Gain on Investments, Net

During the year ended December 31, 2018 , we had losses related to the sale of certain equity investments in privately-held companies, compared to gains on sales during 2017 . In addition, we recorded impairment charges on a certain equity investment in a privately-held company in 2018 , and there were no such charges recorded in 2017 .

Table of Contents

2017 Compared to 2016

Interest Income

Interest income increased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to an increase in interest income related to our investment portfolio, as a result of higher yields and a larger balance in the portfolio.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to a full-year effect of interest expense from the issuance of our 2019 and 2024 Notes in the first quarter of 2016. See Note 10, Debt and Financing , in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 in Part II of this Report for additional information regarding our 2019 and 2024 Notes.

Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net

In 2017, gains on equity investments increased, primarily related to the sale of investments in public and privately-held companies, compared to 2016. In addition, we recorded impairment charges on certain investments in privately-held companies in 2016, and there were no such charges recorded in 2017.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision

The following table presents the income tax (benefit) provision (in millions, except percentages):

Effective tax (benefit) rate	(6.4		)%	62.3		%	28.4		%

2018 Compared to 2017

The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2018 is lower than 2017, primarily due to: a lower statutory tax rate as a result of the Tax Act enacted on December 22, 2017; a $67.6 million related to a lapse in the federal statute of limitations relative to tax years 2010 through 2014, including interest; a $33.2 million benefit as a result of filing a change in tax accounting method for the recognition of deferred product revenue in the U.S. to better align with the financial statement recognition of such revenue; a $32.2 million resulting from a tax accounting method change related to foreign deferred service revenue; a favorable change in the geographic mix of earnings; and, discrete taxes of approximately $289.5 million accrued on accumulated foreign earnings under the Tax Act in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017.

The Tax Act introduced significant changes to U.S. income tax law. Effective January 1, 2018, the Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and created a minimum tax on foreign earnings and imposed a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings through December 31, 2017. In 2017, we recorded provisional amounts for the effects of the Tax Act of $289.5 million, primarily related to net taxes on accumulated foreign earnings and the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets at the revised U.S. statutory rate. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our analysis to determine the effect of the Tax Act and recorded immaterial adjustments as of December 31, 2018. We have elected to pay our transition tax, net of applicable tax refunds, over the eight-year period provided in the Tax Act.

For a complete reconciliation of our effective tax rate to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% and further explanation of our income tax provision, see Note 14, Income Taxes , in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report.

On July 24, 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, or the Court, issued an opinion in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner requiring related parties in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement to share expenses related to share-based compensation. On August 7, 2018, the Court withdrew its opinion to allow time for a reconstituted panel to confer. We will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to its financial statements. Had the Ninth Circuit not withdrawn its opinion, our effective tax rate for 2018 would have been higher.

Table of Contents

Our effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and may be adversely affected to the extent earnings are lower than anticipated in countries that have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher statutory rates. Our effective tax rate may also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, or accounting principles, as well as certain discrete items. See Item 1A of Part I, "Risk Factors" of this Report for a description of relevant risks which may adversely affect our results.

2017 Compared to 2016

The effective tax rate for the fiscal year 2017 was higher than 2016, primarily due to an estimated $289.5 million of net income tax expense related to changes imposed by the Tax Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017. Effective January 1, 2018, the Tax Act provided for significant changes to U.S. income tax law including the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and the creation of a minimum tax on foreign earnings. In addition, the Tax Act imposed a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings through December 31, 2017. The $289.5 million income tax expense included an estimated tax charge of $431.2 million on our accumulated foreign earnings, which we elected to pay over eight years.

As a result of recommendations by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, certain countries in EMEA and APAC have either enacted new corporate tax legislation or are considering enacting such legislation in the near future. We expect the effect of these reform measures to potentially impact long-standing tax principles, particularly in regards to transfer pricing. Consequently, we expect global tax authorities to increasingly challenge our cost sharing and other intercompany arrangements, and the related sourcing of taxable profits in global jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following sections discuss the effects of changes in our balance sheet, our capital return strategy, including our stock repurchase program and dividends, our contractual obligations, and certain other commitments and activities on our liquidity and capital resources.

We have funded our business primarily through our operating activities and the issuance of our long-term debt. The following table presents our capital resources (in millions, except percentages):

^(*)	On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting pronouncement Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash . We applied this provision on a retrospective basis to conform to the current-period presentation. The adoption did not have a material impact on the cash flow activity presented in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the fiscal years ended 2017 and 2016.

Operating Activities

Our primary source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel-related expenditures, and other general operating expenses, as well as payments related to taxes, interest, and facilities.

2018 Compared to 2017

Net cash provided by operations decreased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to higher cash collections from customers during 2017 related to service renewals invoiced during the fourth quarter of 2016, partially offset by a decline in cash paid for personnel-related costs, principally as a result of a reduction in headcount and lower incentive compensation, and a decrease in payments to suppliers.

2017 Compared to 2016

Net cash provided by operating activities increased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to an increase in cash collections from customers in the first half of 2017 due to higher invoicing activity during the fourth quarter of 2016, partially offset by an increase in payments to suppliers, higher payments for restructuring activities, and an increase in cash paid for income taxes.

Investing Activities

Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures; purchases, sales, maturities, and redemptions of investments; and cash used for business combinations.

2018 Compared to 2017

Net cash provided by investing activities increased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to the liquidation of repatriated offshore investments to fund the accelerated share repurchase program discussed below.

2017 Compared to 2016

Net cash used in investing activities decreased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to lower payments for business combinations and capital expenditures and the receipt of $75.0 million in proceeds from the Pulse Note, partially offset by higher net purchases of available-for-sale debt securities.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of repurchases and retirement of common stock, payment of cash dividends to stockholders, issuance and repayment of long-term debt, and proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock through employee equity incentive plans.

2018 Compared to 2017

Net cash used in financing activities increased in 2018 , compared to 2017 , primarily due to an increase in payments of cash dividends and higher repurchases of our common stock, as a result of the accelerated share repurchase program, or ASR, described further below.

2017 Compared to 2016

Net cash used in financing activities increased in 2017, compared to 2016, primarily due to an increase in repurchases and retirement of our common stock in 2017. In 2016, we raised $494.0 million from our 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes and repaid $300.0 million of our 2016 Notes.

Capital Return

The following table summarizes our dividends paid and stock repurchase activities (in millions, except per share amounts):



	Dividends				Stock Repurchase Program					Total
Year	Per Share		Amount		Shares	Average price per share		Amount		Amount
2018	$	0.72	$	249.3	29.3	$	25.62	$	750.0	$	999.3
2017	$	0.40	$	150.4	26.1	$	27.61	$	719.7	$	870.1
2016	$	0.40	$	152.5	13.5	$	23.25	$	312.9	$	465.4

In January 2018, our Board of Directors, which we refer to as the Board, approved a $2.0 billion share repurchase program, which we refer to as the 2018 Stock Repurchase Program. The 2018 Stock Repurchase Program replaces the previous authorization approved by the Board in 2014.

As part of the 2018 Stock Repurchase Program, we entered into an ASR to repurchase $750.0 million of our common stock. We made an up-front payment of $750.0 million pursuant to the ASR to repurchase our common stock. The aggregate number of shares ultimately repurchased of 29.3 million shares of common stock was determined based on a volume weighted average repurchase price, less an agreed upon discount, of $25.62 per share.

As of December 31, 2018 , there was $1.3 billion of authorized funds remaining under the 2018 Stock Repurchase Program, as of the filing date of this Report.

Future share repurchases under the 2018 Stock Repurchase Program will be subject to a review of the circumstances at that time and will be made from time to time in private transactions or open market purchases as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. Our 2018 Stock Repurchase Program may be discontinued at any time. See Note 11, Equity , in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report for further discussion of our share purchase program.

In addition, any future dividends, and the establishment of record and payment dates, are subject to approval by the Board or an authorized committee thereof. See Note 18, Subsequent Event , in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report for discussion of our dividend declaration subsequent to December 31, 2018 .

Table of Contents

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K. It is not our business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. However, in the normal course of business, we enter into contracts consisting of guarantees of product and service performance, standby letters of credit for certain lease facilities and insurance programs. See Guarantees below for additional information regarding our guarantees.

Contractual Obligations

Our principal commitments consist of obligations outstanding under operating leases, purchase commitments, debt, and other contractual obligations. The following table summarizes our principal contractual obligations as of December 31, 2018 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in millions):

As of December 31, 2018 , we had $159.2 million included in long-term income taxes payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for unrecognized tax positions. At this time, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments related to this amount due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes. As a result, this amount is not included in the table above.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of December 31, 2018 , we have not borrowed any funds and we were in compliance with all covenants under our unsecured revolving credit facility that will expire in 2019, which enables borrowings up to $500.0 million , with the option to increase the amount of the credit facility by up to an additional $200.0 million . See Note 10, Debt and Financing , in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report for further information on our credit facility.

Guarantees

We have entered into agreements with customers that contain indemnification provisions relating to potential situations where claims could be alleged that our products solely, or in combination with other third party products, infringe the intellectual property rights of a third-party. As of December 31, 2018 , we recorded $11.9 million for such indemnification obligations in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also have financial guarantees consisting of guarantees of product and service performance and standby letters of credit for certain lease facilities and insurance programs of $23.1 million and $23.0 million , as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and capital resources may be impacted by our operating activities as well as acquisitions, investments in strategic relationships, repurchases of additional shares of our common stock, and payment of cash dividends on our common stock. Following the enactment of the Tax Act, we repatriated approximately $2.8 billion of our cash, cash equivalents, and investments balance from outside of the U.S as of December 31, 2018 . We expect the new territorial tax system to provide us lower cost access to nearly all of our global free cash flow on an ongoing basis. Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We intend to use the repatriated cash to invest in the business, support value-enhancing merger and acquisitions, or M&A, and fund our return of capital to stockholders.

In August 2016, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the SEC enabling us to offer for sale, from time to time, an unspecified amount of securities in one or more offerings and is intended to give us flexibility to take advantage of financing opportunities as needed or deemed desirable in light of market conditions. Our 2019 Notes and 2024 Notes were issued under an automatic shelf registration statement that we filed in August 2013 pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on February 24, 2016. Our 2020 Notes and 2025 Notes were issued under an automatic shelf registration statement pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015, and our $350.0 million in principal amount of our 2024 Notes, which form a single series and are fully fungible with our 2024 Notes issued in 2016, were issued under an automatic shelf registration statement pursuant to a prospectus filed with the SEC on February 28, 2014. Any offerings of securities under our automatic shelf registration statement will be made pursuant to a prospectus. In addition, our Revolving Credit Facility will also provide additional flexibility for future liquidity needs.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term, and long-term investments, together with cash generated from operations and access to capital markets and the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations; planned stock repurchases and dividends; capital expenditures; commitments and other liquidity requirements; and anticipated growth for at least the next twelve months. However, our future liquidity and capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, our growth rate; the timing and amount we spend to support development efforts; the expansion of sales and marketing activities; the introduction of new and enhanced products and services; the costs to acquire or invest in businesses and technologies; an increase in manufacturing or component costs; and the risks and uncertainties detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of Item 1A of Part I of this Report.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The primary objectives of our investment activities are, in order of priority, to preserve principal, maintain liquidity, and maximize yield. The value of our investments is subject to market price volatility. To minimize this risk, we maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types, and maturities, which includes asset-backed securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, foreign government debt securities, money market funds, mutual funds, time deposits, U.S. government agency securities, and U.S. government securities. At any time, a rise in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Conversely, a decline in interest rates could have a material impact on interest income from our investment portfolio. We do not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.

The following tables present hypothetical changes in fair value of our available-for-sale fixed income securities held as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates assuming immediate parallel shifts in the yield curve of 50 basis points, or BPS, 100 BPS and 150 BPS, which are representative of the historical movements in the Federal Funds Rate (in millions):



	- 150 BPS		- 100 BPS		- 50 BPS		Fair Value as of December 31, 2018		+ 50 BPS		+ 100 BPS		+ 150 BPS
Available-for-sale fixed income securities	$	2,210.6	$	2,208.0	$	2,205.4	$	2,202.8	$	2,200.3	$	2,197.7	$	2,195.1



	- 150 BPS		- 100 BPS		- 50 BPS		Fair Value as of December 31, 2017		+ 50 BPS		+ 100 BPS		+ 150 BPS
Available-for-sale fixed income securities	$	2,387.8	$	2,380.4	$	2,372.9	$	2,365.5	$	2,358.0	$	2,350.6	$	2,343.2

Foreign Currency Risk and Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

Periodically, we use derivatives to hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate variability in gains and losses generated from the re-measurement of certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These foreign exchange forward contracts typically have maturities of approximately three months.

Our sales and costs of product revenues are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars. Our cost of service revenue and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. Dollars as well as other foreign currencies, including the British Pound, Chinese Yuan, Euro, and the Indian Rupee. Approximately 78% of such costs and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Periodically, we use foreign currency forward and/or option contracts to hedge certain forecasted foreign currency transactions to reduce variability in cost of service revenue and operating expenses caused by non-U.S. Dollar denominated operating expense and costs. In designing a specific hedging approach, we consider several factors, including offsetting exposures, significance of exposures, costs associated with entering into a particular hedge instrument, and potential effectiveness of the hedge. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and have maturities of seventeen months or less. The change in operating expenses including cost of service revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, due to foreign currency fluctuations was a reduction to operating expenses of 0.1% for both years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. See Note 5, Derivative Instruments , in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report for further discussion of our derivative and hedging activity.

We have performed a sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2018 and as of December 31, 2017 , using a modeling technique that measures the change in the amount of non-U.S. dollar cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities arising from a hypothetical 10% movement in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. The foreign currency exchange rates we used were based on market rates in effect on December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The sensitivity analysis indicated that a hypothetical 10% movement in foreign currency exchange rates would change the amount of cash, cash equivalents, and investments we would report in U.S. Dollars as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 by less than 1.1% and by less than 1%, respectively.

Equity Price Risk

We have also invested in privately-held companies. Depending on the nature of these investments, some can be carried at cost, adjusted for changes from observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, less impairment, and others can be carried at fair value. The carrying values of our investments in privately-held companies were $90.4 million and $83.0 million ^(*) as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The privately-held companies in which we invest can still be considered in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky because the markets for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. We could lose our entire investment in these companies. Our evaluation of investments in privately-held companies is based on the fundamentals of the businesses invested in, including, among other factors, the nature of their technologies and potential for financial return.

_______________________________


^(*)	Prior to January 1, 2018, certain investments in privately-held companies were accounted for at cost less impairment. Realized gains or losses from sales or impairments were recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Juniper Networks, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 22, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Adoption of ASU 2014-09

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method for recognizing revenue as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and the amendments in ASU’s 2015-14, 2016-10 and 2016-12 effective January 1, 2018.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Juniper Networks, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Juniper Networks, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Juniper Networks, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2 and our report dated February 22, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Juniper Networks, Inc. (the “Company” or “Juniper”) designs, develops, and sells products and services for high-performance networks, to enable customers to build scalable, reliable, secure and cost-effective networks for their businesses, while achieving agility and improved operating efficiency through automation. The Company sells high-performance routing, switching, and security networking products and service offerings to customers within its verticals: Cloud, Service Provider, and Enterprise who view the network as critical to their success.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements, which include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASU No. 2016-18 (Topic 230) Statement of Cash Flow: Restricted Cash , effective January 1, 2018, using the retrospective transition method. Restricted cash of $47.4 million and $52.6 million has been included within cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash when reconciling the beginning and ending total amounts, respectively, on the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017, and restricted cash of $0.4 million and $47.4 million has been included within cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash when reconciling the beginning and ending total amounts, respectively, on the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016, to conform to the current period presentation. The adoption did not have a material impact on the cash flow activity presented on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. See Note 4, Cash Equivalents and Investments , for a reconciliation of the cash balances within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent there are material differences between the Company's estimates and the actual results, the Company's future consolidated results of operation may be affected.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits with banks, highly liquid investments in money market funds, commercial paper, government securities, certificates of deposits, time deposits, and corporate debt securities, which are readily convertible into cash. All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from Juniper's purchase date are classified as cash equivalents.

Investments in Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

The Company's investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and include the Company's fixed income securities and investments in privately-held companies, consisting of debt and redeemable preferred stock securities. Fixed income securities are initially recorded at cost and periodically adjusted to fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Juniper Networks, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Fixed income securities primarily consist of asset-backed securities, certificate of deposits, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, time deposits, foreign government debt securities, U.S. government agency securities, and U.S. treasury securities. The Company periodically evaluates these investments to determine if impairment charges are required. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the length of time the investment has been in a loss position, the extent to which the fair value has been less than the Company's cost basis, the investment's financial condition, and the near-term prospects of the investee. If the Company determines that the decline in an investment's value is other than temporary, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's privately-held debt and redeemable preferred stock securities are included in other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recorded at fair value. Fair value is reassessed when the Company is made aware of information indicating a change in the enterprise value of the investee, including known acquisition offers, subsequent funding rounds, and investee's plans for liquidation. The Company periodically evaluates these securities for indicators of impairment, including the inability to recover a portion of or the entire carrying amount of the investment, the inability of the investee to sustain earnings, the reduction in or termination of financial commitment to the investee from other investors, the intention to sell the investment, and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. If the Company determines that the decline in an investment's value is other than temporary, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investments in Equity Securities

The Company's investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values consist of money market funds, the non-qualified compensation plan ("NQDC") that is invested in mutual funds, and investments in public companies. These investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Equity securities without readily determinable fair values include the Company's investments in privately-held companies consisting of non-redeemable preferred stock and common stock securities. The Company accounts for these securities at cost, adjusted for changes from observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, less impairments. Fair value of these equity securities is reassessed when the Company identifies observable price changes indicating that an adjustment upward or downward to the carrying value is necessary. Any observable changes in fair value are recognized in earnings as of the date that the observable transaction took place, rather than the current reporting date. In addition, the Company periodically evaluates equity securities without readily determinable fair values to determine if impairment charges are required by evaluating whether an event or change in circumstance has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. A qualitative assessment is performed each reporting period to assess whether there are any impairment indicators, including, but not limited to, significant deterioration in the investee's earnings performance; credit rating; asset quality or business prospects; adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment; change in the general market condition of the geographic area or industry; acquisition offers; and the ability to continue as a going concern. If such indicators are present, the Company estimates the fair value of impaired investments and recognizes an impairment loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value.

Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts, and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. These inputs are valued using market based approaches.

Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. These inputs, if any, are valued using internal financial models.

Derivatives

The Company uses derivatives to partially offset its market exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain forecasted foreign currency transactions relating to operating expenses. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. These derivatives are carried at fair value and the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, and upon occurrence of the forecasted transaction, is subsequently reclassified into the costs of services or operating expense line item to which the hedged transaction relates. The Company records any ineffectiveness of the hedging instruments in other expense, net, on its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities.

The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate variability in gains and losses generated from the re-measurement of certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes recorded in other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period as the changes in the fair value from the re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. Cash flows from such derivatives are classified as operating activities.

The Company presents its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, under agreements containing provisions on netting with certain counterparties of foreign exchange contracts, subject to applicable requirements, the Company is allowed to net-settle transactions on the same date in the same currency, with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. The Company is neither required to pledge nor entitled to receive cash collateral related to these derivative transactions.

Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of component parts to be used in the manufacturing process and finished goods in-transit, and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis. A charge is recorded to cost of product when inventory is determined to be in excess of anticipated demand or considered obsolete. At the point of loss recognition, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in the newly established cost basis.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the following assets:



	Estimated Useful Life (years)
Computers, equipment, and software	1.5 to 7
Furniture and fixtures	5 to 7
Building and building improvements	7 to 40
Land improvements	10 to 40
Leasehold improvements	Lease term, not to exceed 10 years

Construction in progress is related to the construction or development of property and equipment that have not yet been placed in service for their intended use.

Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recorded. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets of businesses acquired in a business combination is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if certain circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill is impaired. A qualitative assessment is first made to determine whether it is necessary to quantitatively test goodwill for impairment. This initial assessment includes, among others, consideration of macroeconomic conditions and financial performance. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative analysis is performed by determining the fair value of each reporting unit using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Based on the outcome of the quantitative

Juniper Networks, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

assessments, the Company compares the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with their respective carrying values, including goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the asset's implied fair value.

Other intangible assets acquired in a business combination related to in-process research and development ("IPR&D") projects are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized into the results of operations but instead are evaluated for impairment. If and when development is complete, the associated assets would be deemed finite-lived and would be amortized as cost of revenues over their respective estimated useful lives at that point in time. If the research and development project is abandoned, the acquired IPR&D assets are written off and charged to expense in the period of abandonment.

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset, or asset group, to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, or asset group. An impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset, or asset group, exceeds its fair value.

The Company amortizes intangible assets with estimable useful lives on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services by following a five-step process, (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price, and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation, as further described below.

Identify the contract with a customer . The Company generally considers a sales contract or agreement with an approved purchase order as a customer contract provided that collection is considered probable, which is assessed based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks, payment histories, and/or other circumstances. The Company combines contracts with a customer if contracts are negotiated with a single commercial substance or contain price dependencies.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract . Product performance obligations include hardware and software licenses and service performance obligations include maintenance, software post-contract support, training, and professional services. Certain software licenses and related post-contract support are combined into a single performance obligation when the maintenance updates are critical to the continued functionality of the software.

Determine the transaction price . The transaction price for the Company’s contracts with its customers consists of both fixed and variable consideration provided it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty related to variable consideration is resolved. Fixed consideration includes amounts to be contractually billed to the customer while variable consideration includes estimates for rights of return, rebates, and price protection, which are based on historical sales returns and price protection credits, specific criteria outlined in rebate agreements, and other factors known at the time. The Company generally invoices customers for hardware, software licenses and related maintenance arrangements at time of delivery, and professional services either upfront or upon meeting certain milestones. Customer invoices are generally due within 30 to 90 days after issuance. The Company’s contracts with customers typically do not include significant financing components as the period between the transfer of performance obligations and timing of payment are generally within one year.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract . For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices are based on multiple factors including, but not limited to historical discounting trends for products and services, pricing practices in different geographies and through different sales channels, gross margin objectives, internal costs, competitor pricing strategies, and industry technology lifecycles.

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation . Revenue for hardware and certain software licenses, are recognized at a point in time, which is generally upon shipment or delivery. Certain software licenses combined with post-contract support are recognized over time on a ratable basis over the term of the license. Revenue for maintenance and software

Juniper Networks, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

post-contract support is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contract term. Revenue from training and professional services is recognized over time as services are completed or ratably over the contractual period of generally one year or less.

Deferred Commissions

Sales commissions earned by the Company’s sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. These costs are deferred and then amortized over a period of benefit which is typically over the term of the customer contracts as initial commission rates and renewal rates are the same. Amortization expense is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews its receivables that remain outstanding past their applicable payment terms and establishes an allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, and age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay.

Warranty Reserves

The Company generally offers a one -year warranty on most of its hardware products, and a 90 -day warranty on the media that contains the software embedded in the products. Warranty costs are recognized as part of the Company's cost of sales based on associated material costs, logistics costs, labor costs, and overhead at the time revenue is recognized. Material costs are estimated primarily based upon the historical costs to repair or replace product returns within the warranty period. Labor, logistics and overhead costs are estimated primarily based upon historical trends in the cost to support customer cases within the warranty period.

Contract Manufacturer Liabilities

The Company establishes a liability for non-cancelable, non-returnable purchase commitments with its contract manufacturers for carrying charges, quantities in excess of its demand forecasts, or obsolete material charges for components purchased by the contract manufacturers to meet the Company’s demand forecast or customer orders. The demand forecasts are based upon historical trends and analysis from the Company's sales and marketing organizations, adjusted for overall market conditions.

Research and Development

Costs to research, design, and develop the Company's products are expensed as incurred.

Software Development Costs

Capitalization of software development costs for software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed begins when a product's technological feasibility has been established and ends when a product is available for general release to customers. Generally, the Company's products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. As a result, costs incurred between achieving technological feasibility and product general availability have not been significant.

The Company capitalizes costs associated with internal-use software systems during the application development stage. Such capitalized costs include external direct costs incurred in developing or obtaining the applications and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees, who are directly associated with the development of the applications.

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred. Advertising expense was $20.0 million , $19.9 million , and $15.8 million , for 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively.

Foreign Currency

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations with non-U.S. Dollar functional currency are translated to U.S. Dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. Revenue and expenses are translated to U.S. Dollars using rates that approximate those in

Table of Contents

Juniper Networks, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

effect during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets in the stockholders’ equity section as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company records foreign exchange transaction gains and losses for assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. These remeasurement adjustments are recorded in other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Loss Contingencies

The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Management considers the likelihood of loss related to an asset, or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation cost for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance share awards ("PSAs") and employee stock purchases related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). For service condition only awards, share-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of the underlying awards and amortized on a straight-line basis. For PSAs and market-based RSUs, share-based compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis for each separate vesting portion of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its ESPP purchase rights. The BSM model requires various highly subjective assumptions that represent management's best estimates of volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield. The Company estimates expected volatility based on the implied volatility of market-traded options, on the Company's common stock, adjusted for other relevant factors including historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the Company’s ESPP. The expected life of ESPP purchase rights approximates the offering period.

The Company determines the grant date fair value of its RSUs, RSAs, and PSAs based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, adjusted by the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on the underlying shares of common stock during the requisite and derived service period as these awards are not entitled to receive dividends until vested.

For market-based RSUs, the Company estimates the fair value and derived service period using the Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model ("Monte Carlo model"). The determination of the grant date fair value and derived service periods using the Monte Carlo model is affected by the Company's stock price, comparative market-based returns, as well as various highly subjective assumptions that represent management's best estimates of volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The Company estimates expected volatility based on the implied volatility of market-traded options, on the Company's common stock, adjusted for other relevant factors including historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the contractual life of the Company's market-based RSUs.

Provision for Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company classifies the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as current to the extent that the Company anticipates payment (or receipt) of cash within one year . Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in the provision for income taxes.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, derivatives, and accounts receivable. The Company invests only in high-quality credit instruments and maintains its cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments in fixed income securities with several high-quality institutions. Deposits held with banks, including those held in foreign branches of global banks, may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. We mitigate the concentration of credit risk in our investment portfolio through diversification of the investments in various industries and asset classes, and limits to the amount of credit exposure to any single issuer and credit rating.

The Company’s derivatives expose it to credit risk to the extent that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreement. To mitigate concentration of risk related to its derivatives, the Company establishes counterparty limits to major credit-worthy financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored and the derivatives transacted with these entities are relatively short in duration. Therefore, the Company does not expect material losses as a result of defaults by counterparties.

Generally, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different geographic locations throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. During the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , no single customer accounted for 10% or more of net revenues.

The Company relies on sole suppliers for certain of its components such as application-specific integrated circuits ("ASICs") and custom sheet metal. Additionally, the Company relies primarily on a limited number of significant independent contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers for the production of its products. The inability of any supplier or manufacturer to fulfill supply requirements of the Company could negatively impact future operating results.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

Comprehensive Income: Effective January 1, 2018, the Company early adopted FASB ASU No. 2018-02 (Topic 220), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income , issued in February 2018, with an election to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The adoption resulted in a reclassification of $5.7 million in income from accumulated other comprehensive loss to accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Financial Instruments: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and FASB ASU No. 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall , which changes how entities classify and measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option. The guidance also updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for its equity securities with readily determinable fair values and the prospective method for its equity securities without readily determinable fair values, resulting in no impact to the opening accumulated deficit balance. The Company has elected to use the measurement alternative for its equity investments without readily determinable fair value, defined as cost adjusted for changes from observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, less impairment. See Note 4, Cash Equivalents and Investments for additional disclosures required upon adopting the standard.

Revenue Recognition: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09” or "Topic 606"), which provides guidance for revenue recognition that superseded the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, Revenue Recognition ("Topic 605") and most industry specific guidance. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 under the modified retrospective approach, applying the amendments to prospective reporting periods. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the historic accounting under Topic 605.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2018 for the adoption of Topic 606 to all contracts with customers that were not completed as of December 31, 2017 was recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the adoption date as follows:



	December 31, 2017						January 1, 2018
	As reported			Adjustments			As adjusted
Assets:
Accounts receivable, net of allowances	$	852.0		$	(1.9	)	$	850.1
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	299.9			31.5			331.4
Other long-term assets	415.5			(21.1		)	394.4
Total assets	$	9,833.8		$	8.5		$	9,842.3

Liabilities:
Deferred revenue	$	1,030.3		$	(225.4	)	$	804.9
Other accrued liabilities	304.3			33.8			338.1
Long-term deferred revenue	509.0			(124.6		)	384.4
Total liabilities	$	5,152.9		$	(316.2	)	$	4,836.7

Stockholders' Equity:
Accumulated deficit	$	(3,355.8	)	$	324.7		$	(3,031.1	)

Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $324.7 million , net of tax adjustment of $63.9 million , which decreased the January 1, 2018 opening accumulated deficit balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, primarily as a result of the following items:


•	Distributor Sales : Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue from sales to distributors upon delivery of the product to the distributor, rather than upon delivery of the product to the end-customer. Rebates and incentives offered to distributors, which are earned when sales to end-customers are completed, are estimated at the point of revenue recognition.

•

Software Revenue : Under Topic 605, the Company deferred revenue for software licenses where vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value had not been established for undelivered items (primarily services). Under Topic 606, revenue for software licenses is recognized at the time of delivery unless the ongoing services provide frequent, critical updates to the software, without which the software functionality would be rapidly diminished.


•	Variable Consideration : Some of the Company's contracts include penalties, extended payment terms, acceptance provisions or other price variability that precluded revenue recognition under Topic 605 because of the requirement for amounts to be fixed or determinable. Topic 606 requires the Company to estimate and account for variable consideration as a reduction of the transaction price.

•

Revenue Allocation : Similar to Topic 605, Topic 606 requires an allocation of revenue between deliverables, or performance obligations, within an arrangement. Topic 605 restricted the allocation of revenue that is contingent on future deliverables to current deliverables; however, Topic 606 removes this restriction. In addition, the nature of the performance obligations identified within a contract under Topic 606 as compared to Topic 605 will impact the allocation of the transaction price between product and services.

•

Contract Acquisition Costs : Topic 606 requires the deferral and amortization of “incremental” costs incurred to obtain a contract where the associated contract duration is greater than one year. The primary contract acquisition cost for the Company are sales commissions. Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company expensed sales commissions. The change required by Topic 606 resulted in the creation of an asset on January 1, 2018.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Cloud Computing Arrangement: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (Subtopic 350-40) Intangibles — Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which provides guidance on a customer's accounting for implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is hosted by a service contract. The new standard is to be applied on either a retrospective or prospective basis to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 and will prospectively apply the standard to all implementation costs incurred after the adoption date.

Fair Value Measurement: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements under ASC 820. This ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis for certain modified or new disclosure requirements, and all other amendments in the standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivatives and Hedging: In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 (Topic 815) Derivatives and Hedging — Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , and an amendment thereafter, which expands an entity's ability to hedge financial and nonfinancial risk components and amends how companies assess effectiveness as well as changes the presentation and disclosure requirements. The new standard is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, and its amendment and presentation and disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis. This standard along with its amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities: In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08 Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities which shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The ASU will not impact debt securities held at a discount. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment: In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 (Topic 350) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairmen t, which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Losses on Financial Instruments: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (Topic 326) Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which provides more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. Further amendment issued by the FASB in November 2018 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Topic 326 and should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842. This pronouncement and its amendment are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, using a modified retrospective adoption method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842), Leases , and several amendments thereafter, which require recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities for most leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets by lessees. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

Juniper Networks, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company has adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company elected:


•	the package of practical expedients which allows for not reassessing (1) whether existing contracts contain leases, (2) the lease classification for existing leases, and (3) whether existing initial direct costs meet the new definition.


•	the practical expedient in ASC Subtopic 842-10 to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component by class of the underlying asset.


•	not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, which have a lease term of twelve months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

The adoption of the standard resulted in recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $200.0 million and $230.0 million , respectively, on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, primarily relating to real estate operating leases. The adoption of the standard did not result in a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, the adoption of the standard had no impact on the Company’s debt-covenant compliance under its current agreements.

As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had 490 investments in unrealized loss positions. The gross unrealized losses related to these investments were primarily due to changes in market interest rates. The Company does not intend to sell these investments and does not believe that it is more likely than not it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis, therefore the Company has determined that no other-than-temporary impairments associated with credit losses were required to be recognized during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 .

During the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , there were no material gross realized gains or losses from available-for-sale debt securities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company's Level 2 available-for-sale debt securities are priced using quoted market prices for similar instruments or non-binding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency which are obtained from quoted market prices, independent pricing vendors, or other sources, to determine the ultimate fair value of these assets. The Company's derivative instruments are classified as Level 2, as they are not actively traded and are valued using pricing models that use observable market inputs. The Company's policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 at the beginning of the quarter in which a change in circumstances resulted in a transfer. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of its assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

All of the Company's privately-held debt and redeemable preferred stock securities are classified as Level 3 assets due to the lack of observable inputs to determine fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its privately-held debt and redeemable preferred stock securities on a recurring basis using an analysis of the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including recent financing activities and the investee's capital structure. During the year ended December 31, 2018 , there were no significant activities related to privately-held debt and redeemable preferred stock, other than the notes settled upon acquisition of HTBase. See Note 3, Business Combinations , for further information.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain of the Company's assets, including intangible assets and goodwill, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, when they are deemed to be other-than temporarily impaired. There were no impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017, and 2016.

Equity investments without readily determinable fair value are measured at fair value, when they are deemed to be impaired or when there is an adjustment from observable price changes. For the year ended December 31, 2018 , there were no material impairment charges or adjustments resulting from observable price changes for equity investments without readily determinable fair value.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of the Company's accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the estimated fair value of the Company's total outstanding debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $2,158.7 million and $2,252.9 million , respectively, based on observable market inputs (Level 2). The carrying value of the promissory note issued to the Company in connection with the previously completed sale of Junos Pulse ("the Pulse Note"), along with the accumulated interest paid in kind, of $69.0 million and $61.2 million approximates its fair value as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Notes receivable are generally classified as Level 3 asset due to the lack of observable inputs to determine fair value. The carrying value of a contract manufacturer deposit of $23.9 million and long-term trade accounts receivable of $15.0 million , reported within other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates its fair value as of December 31, 2018 . See Note 8, Other Financial Information, for further information on the Pulse Note and contract manufacturer deposit.

The Company reclassified gains of $0.9 million , $7.6 million , and $1.8 million out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to cost of revenues and operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively.

The ineffective portion of the Company's derivative instruments recognized in its Consolidated Statements of Operations was not material during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively.

See Note 5, Fair Value Measurements, for the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Non-Designated Derivatives

The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate variability in gains and losses generated from the remeasurement of certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These foreign exchange forward contracts typically have maturities of approximately one to three months . The outstanding non-designated derivative instruments are carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives recorded in other expense, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations were $7.6 million , $1.8 million and $0.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively.

In 2017, the Company received payment of $75.0 million and the outstanding interest due. The maturity date of the Pulse Note was extended to September 30, 2022 under the terms of an amended agreement. The amended agreement also provided that interest due on the note be paid in kind by increasing the principal amount and interest rate on the Pulse Note. The outstanding balance of the Pulse Note was classified as a long-term asset based on expected collection beyond twelve months from the Consolidated Balance Sheet date.

In 2018, the Company paid a deposit of $25.0 million to a contract manufacturer in exchange for improved pricing and savings on inventory carrying charges. The deposit was recorded at the face value of $25.0 million , less an unamortized discount of $1.1 million , calculated based on an imputed interest rate of 4.8% , that will be amortized over the term of the deposit to interest income along with a corresponding amount to cost of revenues.

In the event of a change of control repurchase event, the holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Interest on the Notes is payable in cash semiannually. The effective interest rates for the Notes include the interest on the Notes, accretion of the discount, and amortization of issuance costs. The indentures that govern the Notes also contain various covenants, including limitations on the Company's ability to incur liens or enter into sale-leaseback transactions over certain dollar thresholds.

As of December 31, 2018 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the indentures governing the Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

In June 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") with certain institutional lenders and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, that provides for a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, with an option of the Company to increase the amount of the credit facility by up to an additional $200.0 million , subject to the lenders' approval. Proceeds of loans made under the Credit Agreement may be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until June 27, 2019, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. Borrowing may be denominated, at the Company's option in U.S. dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euro.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at either i) a floating rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of between 0.00% and 0.50% , depending on the Company's public debt rating or ii) a per annum rate equal to the reserve adjusted Eurocurrency rate , plus a margin of between 0.90% and 1.50% , depending on the Company's public debt rating. Base rate is defined as the greatest of (A) Citibank's base rate , (B) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or (C) the ICE Benchmark Administration Settlement Rate applicable to dollars for a period of one month plus 1.00% . The Eurocurrency rate is determined for U.S. dollars and Pounds Sterling as the rate at which deposits in such currency are offered in the London interbank market for the applicable interest period and for Euro as the rate specified for deposits in Euro with a maturity comparable to the applicable interest period.

As of December 31, 2018 , the Company has not borrowed any funds under the Credit Agreement and was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement.

Financing Arrangements

The Company provides certain customers with access to extended financing arrangements that allow for longer payment terms than those typically provided by the Company by factoring accounts receivable to third-party financing providers ("financing providers"). The program does not and is not intended to affect the timing of the Company's revenue recognition. Under the financing arrangements, proceeds from the financing providers are due to the Company within 1 to 90 days from the sale of the receivable. In these transactions with the financing providers, the Company surrenders control over the transferred assets.

Pursuant to the financing arrangements for the sale of receivables, the Company sold receivables of $122.8 million , $169.4 million and $95.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively. The Company received cash proceeds from financing providers of $123.2 million , $169.3 million , and $83.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively.

As part of the 2018 Stock Repurchase Program, in February 2018, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase program (the "ASR") with two financial institutions to repurchase $750.0 million of the Company's common stock. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company made an up-front payment of $750.0 million pursuant to the ASR and received an initial 23.3 million shares of the Company's common stock, based on the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the transaction. During the third quarter of 2018, the ASR was completed and an additional 6.0 million shares were received from the financial institutions for a total repurchase of 29.3 million shares of the Company's common stock at a volume weighted average repurchase price, less an agreed upon discount, of $25.62 per share. The shares received with respect to the ASR were retired and accounted for as a reduction to stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of December 31, 2018 , there were $1.3 billion of authorized funds remaining under the 2018 Stock Repurchase Program.

Note 12. Employee Benefit Plans

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company’s equity incentive plans include the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), and the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Under these plans, the Company has granted stock options, RSUs, and PSAs. In addition, in connection with certain past acquisitions, the Company has assumed or substituted stock options, RSUs, RSAs, and PSAs granted under the stock plans of the acquired companies. Such awards were converted into or replaced with the Company's stock options, RSUs, RSAs, and PSAs, respectively.

The 2015 Plan was adopted and approved by the Company's stockholders in May 2015 and had an initial authorized share reserve of 38.0 million shares of common stock, plus the addition of any shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2006 Plan and the Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Plan that were outstanding as of May 19, 2015, and that subsequently expire or otherwise terminate, up to a maximum of an additional 29.0 million shares. In May 2017, the Company's stockholders approved an additional 23.0 million shares of common stock for issuance under the 2015 Plan. As of December 31, 2018 , an aggregate of 15.3 million shares were subject to outstanding equity awards under the 2015 Plan and the 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2018 , 21.9 million shares were available for future issuance under the 2015 Plan and no shares were available for future issuance under the 2006 Plan or the 1996 Plan.

The ESPP was adopted and approved by the Company's stockholders in May 2008. To date, the Company's stockholders have approved a share reserve of 35.0 million shares of the Company's common stock for issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP permits eligible employees to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a 15% discount (as determined in the ESPP) through periodic payroll deductions of up to 10% of base compensation, subject to individual purchase limits of 6,000 shares in any twelve -month period or $25,000 worth of stock, determined at the fair market value of the shares at the time the stock purchase option is granted, in one calendar year. On November 6, 2017, the Company’s Compensation Committee amended and restated the ESPP to provide that for the offering period that began on February 1, 2018 would be for 24 months with four 6 -month purchase periods. A new 24-month offering period will commence every six months thereafter. The purchase price for the Company’s common stock under the ESPP is 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the shares at (1) the beginning of the applicable offering period or (2) the end of each 6 -month purchase period during such offering period. The ESPP will continue in effect until February 25, 2028, unless terminated earlier under the provisions of the ESPP. As of December 31, 2018 , approximately 26.3 million shares have been issued and 8.7 million shares remain available for future issuance under the ESPP.

During 2018, 2017, and 2016, the Company completed the acquisitions of HTBase, Cyphort, AppFormix, Aurrion, and BTI. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company assumed or substituted an aggregate of 4.1 million shares of stock options, RSUs, RSAs, and PSAs. No additional awards can be granted under the stock plans of the acquired companies. As of December 31, 2018 , approximately 2.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding under all awards assumed or substituted through the Company's acquisitions.

RSUs and PSAs with a per share or unit purchase price lower than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the day of the grant under the 2015 Plan are counted against shares authorized under the plan as two and one-tenth shares of common stock for each share subject to such award. The number of shares subject to PSAs granted represents the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the award over its full term.

⁽²⁾

Canceled or expired options and canceled RSUs and PSAs under the 2006 Plan are no longer available for future grant under such plan; however, the number of shares available for grant under the 2015 Plan are increased by (i) the amount of such canceled or expired options and (ii) two and one-tenth the shares for each canceled RSUs or PSAs, as applicable, up to a maximum of 29.0 million additional shares of common stock, pursuant to the terms of the 2015 Plan.

In 2018, the Company recorded a $67.6 million benefit related to a lapse in the federal statute of limitations relative to tax years 2010 through 2014, including interest, a $33.2 million benefit as a result of filing a change in accounting method for the tax recognition of deferred product revenue in the U.S. to better align with the financial statement recognition of such revenue, and a $32.2 million benefit resulting from tax accounting method change related to foreign deferred service revenue.

The Tax Act introduced significant changes to U.S. income tax law. Effective January 1, 2018, the Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, created a minimum tax on foreign earnings and imposed a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings through December 31, 2017. In 2017, the Company recorded provisional amounts for the effects of the Tax Act of $289.5 million primarily related to net taxes on accumulated foreign earnings and the re-measurement of the Company’s deferred tax assets at the revised U.S. statutory rate. In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company completed its analysis to determine the effect of the Tax Act and recorded immaterial adjustments as of December 31, 2018.

The Company accounts for U.S. tax on certain foreign subsidiaries income, which is referred to as Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) in the year earned. Therefore, the Company has not provided any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of tax carry-forward items and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's long-term deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows (in millions):



	As of December 31,
	2018			2017
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry-forwards	$	12.9		$	18.3
Research and other credit carry-forwards	220.0			198.8
Deferred revenue	37.7			103.5
Share-based compensation	26.1			31.1
Cost sharing adjustment	12.2			12.4
Reserves and accruals not currently deductible	62.7			76.7
Other	13.2			12.8
Total deferred tax assets	384.8			453.6
Valuation allowance	(233.7		)	(214.5		)
Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance	151.1			239.1
Deferred tax liabilities:
Property and equipment basis differences	(40.6		)	(42.5		)
Purchased intangibles	(13.7		)	(12.4		)
Unremitted foreign earnings	(26.4		)	(25.4		)
Deferred compensation and other	(8.9		)	(10.4		)
Total deferred tax liabilities	(89.6		)	(90.7		)
Net deferred tax assets	$	61.5		$	148.4

Based on changes provided by the Tax Act, the Company re-measured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had a valuation allowance on its U.S. domestic deferred tax assets of approximately $233.7 million and $214.5 million , respectively. The balance at December 31, 2018 consisted of approximately $206.0 million , $20.2 million and $3.1 million against the Company's California, Massachusetts and Canadian deferred tax assets, respectively, which the Company believes are not more likely than not to be utilized in future years. The remaining deferred tax assets on which the Company recorded valuation allowance of approximately $4.4 million related to losses that are capital in nature and may carry forward to offset future capital gains only. The valuation allowance increased in 2018 and 2017 by $19.2 million and $60.1 million , respectively, primarily related to the change in California, Massachusetts and Canadian R&D tax credits.

As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had federal and California net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $54.4 million and $150.4 million , respectively. The California net operating loss carry-forwards of $150.4 million are expected to expire unused. The Company also had federal and California tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $2.6 million and $244.1 million , respectively. Unused net operating loss carry-forwards will expire at various dates beginning in the year 2019. The California tax credit carry-forwards will carry forward indefinitely.

As of December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $178.1 million , $264.5 million , and $223.1 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2018 , approximately $175.3 million of the $178.1 million gross unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the Company's total gross unrecognized tax benefits was as follows (in millions):



	Years Ended December 31,
	2018			2017			2016
Balance at beginning of year	$	264.5		$	223.1		$	216.1
Tax positions related to current year:
Additions	4.3			64.6			27.2
Tax positions related to prior years:
Additions	12.7			1.8			1.0
Reductions	(33.8		)	(16.6		)	(4.1		)
Settlements	(2.6		)	(4.0		)	(14.3		)
Lapses in statutes of limitations	(67.0		)	(4.4		)	(2.8		)
Balance at end of year	$	178.1		$	264.5		$	223.1

As of December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $33.8 million , $40.7 million , and $31.3 million , respectively, to other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the changes in the level of gross unrecognized tax benefit, the Company recognized a benefit for net interest and penalties of $5.2 million and an expense of $8.5 million and $6.0 million in its Consolidated Statements of Operations during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively.

On November 30, 2018, the Company received a final order from the India Supreme Court, which resolved the Company’s dispute with the India Tax Authorities for the 2004 through 2008 income tax years. The final order from the Court effectively concludes the tax investigation for the respective tax years, and as a result the Company released $5.4 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits, including $4.6 million of interest and penalties.

In 2018, the U.K., German and Australian tax authorities concluded examinations of the 2016 tax year, 2010 through 2013 tax years and the 2016 through 2017 tax years, respectively, which did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

The Company engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. There is a greater than remote likelihood that the balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $7.7 million within the next twelve months due to lapses of applicable statutes of limitation and the completion of tax review cycles in various tax jurisdictions.

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, Juniper Networks or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as the Netherlands, U.K., France, Germany, Japan, China, Australia, India, and the U.S. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2007.

The Company is currently under examination by the IRS for the 2007 through 2009 tax years and by the India tax authorities for the 2009 through 2015 tax years. In March 2016, the IRS concluded its field audit and issued a final assessment. The Company is appealing this assessment. The examinations by the India tax authorities are ongoing. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from such examinations. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company believes the resolution of the audits is unlikely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

The Company is pursuing all available administrative remedies relative to these ongoing matters. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these proposed adjustments and the ultimate resolution of these matters is unlikely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations; however, there is still a possibility that an adverse outcome of these matters could have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Note 15. Net Income per Share

The Company computed basic and diluted net income per share as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):



	Years Ended December 31,
	2018		2017		2016
Numerator:
Net income	$	566.9	$	306.2	$	592.7
Denominator:
Weighted-average shares used to compute basic net income per share	349.0		377.7		381.7
Dilutive effect of employee stock awards	5.4		6.5		6.1
Weighted-average shares used to compute diluted net income per share	354.4		384.2		387.8
Net income per share:
Basic	$	1.62	$	0.81	$	1.55
Diluted	$	1.60	$	0.80	$	1.53

Anti-dilutive shares	3.9		1.1		2.5

Basic net income per share is computed using net income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using net income available to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, issuances of ESPP, and vesting of RSUs, RSAs, and PSAs. The Company includes the common shares underlying PSAs in the calculation of diluted net income per share only when they become contingently issuable. Anti-dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The following table summarizes the Company’s unconditional purchase obligations and future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating and other lease arrangements for each of the next five years and thereafter as of December 31, 2018 (in millions):



			Leases
Years Ending December 31,	Unconditional Purchase Obligations		Operating Leases		Other Lease Arrangement
2019	$	43.1	$	33.7	$	13.1
2020	26.4		30.7		13.3
2021	11.4		24.3		13.6
2022	8.5		17.0		13.9
2023	5.5		14.3		14.2
Thereafter	2.9		26.3		32.9
Total	$	97.8	$	146.3	$	101.0

In December 2018, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement and certain Statements of Work, (collectively, the “Agreement”) with International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") pursuant to which the Company will outsource significant portions of its IT and other administrative functions following a transition period. Under the Agreement, IBM will provide the Company a broad range of IT services such as applications, including support, development and maintenance; infrastructure management and support, including for servers, storage and network devices; and end user support including service desk. The Agreement has an initial term through 2026 over which period the Company will pay IBM a combination of fixed and variable fees, fluctuating based on the Company's actual need for the services utilized. The Company expects to pay IBM

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

approximately $325.0 million . The table above does not include fees payable to IBM under the contract as the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount of the payments related to this contract due to uncertainties in the usage of the services.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

Unconditional purchase obligations consist of agreements that include firm and non-cancelable terms to transfer funds in the future for fixed or minimum amounts or quantities to be purchased at fixed or minimum prices. These obligations primarily result from contracts entered into for the acquisition of software development services and product development. For obligations with cancellation provisions, the amounts included in the preceding table were limited to the non-cancelable portion of the agreement terms or the minimum cancellation fee.

In May 2018, the Company entered into a strategic alliance with Ericsson AB ("Ericsson") under which both companies have agreed to undertake certain development, testing and related work to bring specific products to market. The alliance has an initial term through 2023. As of December 31, 2018, the minimum fixed fees payable to Ericsson was $18.0 million .

Operating Leases

The Company leases its facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through November 2029 . Certain leases require the Company to pay variable costs such as taxes, maintenance, and insurance and include renewal options and escalation clauses. Rent expense for 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 was approximately $39.0 million , $39.3 million , and $37.9 million , respectively.

Other Lease Arrangement

In July 2015, the Company entered into a lease arrangement through March 2026 for approximately 63,000 square feet of space in the State of Washington. The space is used, among other things, to consolidate certain of the Company's laboratory operations currently located in Sunnyvale, California.

Due to certain contractual obligations during the construction period, the Company was deemed the owner of the property during that period. The Company capitalized the construction costs by recording a build-to-suit lease asset and a corresponding build-to-suit financing liability. Upon the completion of construction in 2016, the Company concluded that it had a certain form of continuing economic involvement in the facility, which precluded sale-leaseback accounting treatment. As a result, a total of $60.9 million of costs capitalized were placed in service and are being depreciated over the lease term. As of December 31, 2018 , the total payment under the lease agreement over the ten -year term is approximately $101.0 million of which $59.7 million is included in other-long term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Purchase Commitments with Contract Manufacturers and Suppliers

In order to reduce manufacturing lead times and in the interest of having access to adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with contract manufacturers and certain suppliers to procure inventory based on the Company's requirements. A significant portion of the Company's purchase commitments arising from these agreements consists of firm and non-cancelable commitments. These purchase commitments totaled $663.3 million as of December 31, 2018 .

The Company establishes a liability in connection with purchase commitments related to quantities in excess of its demand forecasts or obsolete materials charges for components purchased by the contract manufacturers based on the Company’s demand forecast or customer orders. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had accrued $30.4 million based on its estimate of such charges.

Debt and Interest Payment on Debt

As of December 31, 2018 , the Company held total outstanding debt consisting of the Notes with a carrying value of $2,139.0 million . See Note 10, Debt and Financing , for further discussion of the Company's long-term debt and expected future principal maturities.

Tax Liability

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company completed its analysis to determine the effect of the Tax Act and recorded immaterial adjustments as of December 31, 2018. The Company has elected to pay its transition tax, net of applicable tax refunds, over the eight-year period provided in the Tax Act. The long-term income taxes payable of $245.2 million represents the remaining balance of the Company's transition tax obligation.

As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had $159.2 million included in long-term income taxes payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for unrecognized tax positions. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of payments related to this amount due to uncertainties in the timing of tax audit outcomes.

Guarantees

The Company enters into agreements with customers that contain indemnification provisions relating to potential situations where claims could be alleged that the Company’s products solely, or in combination with other third-party products, infringe the intellectual property rights of a third-party. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company recorded $11.9 million and $20.4 million , respectively, for such indemnification obligations in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also has financial guarantees consisting of guarantees of product and service performance and standby letters of credit for certain lease facilities and insurance programs of $23.1 million and $23.0 million , as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively.

Legal Proceedings

Investigations

The Company previously disclosed that it has been the subject of investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") into possible violations by the Company of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). In cooperation with these investigations, the Company and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, with the assistance of outside counsel and other independent advisors, conducted a thorough internal investigation. As a result of its internal investigation, the Company made significant improvements in its internal controls and carried out a number of disciplinary actions. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the DOJ notified the Company that the DOJ has closed its investigation related to these matters without taking any action against the Company. The Company is continuing to fully cooperate with the SEC’s ongoing investigation, and based on the Company’s recent communications with the Staff of the SEC, the Company believes that it is likely that the Staff of the SEC will seek to bring an enforcement action against the Company. The Company believes it is probable that it could incur a loss and has established an estimated legal reserve of $12.0 million related to the ongoing SEC investigation; however, as discussions are continuing, there can be no assurance as to the timing or the terms of any final resolution of this matter.

Other Litigations and Investigations

In addition to the investigations discussed above, the Company is involved in other investigations, disputes, litigations, and legal proceedings. The Company records an accrual for loss contingencies for legal proceedings when it believes that an unfavorable outcome is both (a) probable and (b) the amount or range of any possible loss is reasonably estimable. The Company intends to aggressively defend itself in these matters, and while there can be no assurances and the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, the Company currently believes that none of these existing claims or proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there are many uncertainties associated with any litigation and these matters or other third-party claims against the Company may cause the Company to incur costly litigation and/or substantial settlement charges. In addition, the resolution of any intellectual property litigation may require the Company to make royalty payments, which could adversely affect gross margins in future periods. If any of those events were to occur, the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from the Company's estimates, if any, which could result in the need to adjust the liability and record additional expenses.

_______________


⁽¹⁾	Net income for the third and fourth quarters of 2018 include a lower statutory tax rate due to the Tax Act and tax benefits related to items unique to 2018. See Note 14, Income Taxes , for further discussion. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2017 includes an estimated $289.5 million of tax expense related to the Tax Act, and restructuring charges of $36.2 million .


⁽²⁾	Net income (loss) per share is computed independently. Therefore, the sum of the quarterly net income per share may not equal the total computed for the year or any cumulative interim period.


⁽³⁾	Potentially dilutive common shares for the fourth quarter of 2017 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 18. Subsequent Events

Restructuring

In January 2019, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (the "2019 Restructuring Plan") designed to realign its workforce with the Company's sales strategy, improve productivity, and enhance cost efficiencies. The 2019 Restructuring Plan consists of workforce reductions and facility consolidations and closures. The Company estimates that the implementation of the 2019 Restructuring Plan will result in total charges of approximately $18.0 million to $22.0 million .

Dividend Declaration

On January 29, 2019 , the Company announced that the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share of common stock to be paid on March 22, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2019 .

2. Definitions . As used herein, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) “ Administrator ” means the Board or any of its Committees as shall be administering the Plan, in accordance with Section 4 of the Plan; provided that following any merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity or a Change in Control, the Administrator means any Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the successor corporation or its Parent (provided further that such Compensation Committee may delegate certain responsibilities to a committee comprised of members of the board, officers or employees of the Company and/or Company’s successor).

(b) “ Applicable Laws ” means the requirements relating to the administration of equity incentive plans, the grant of Awards and the related issuance of Shares under Canadian laws, U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal and state securities laws, the Code, any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and under the laws, rules and regulations of any foreign country or jurisdiction where Awards are, or will be, granted under the Plan or where Participants may reside and/or work, as such requirements shall be in place from time to time.

(e) “ Board ” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

(f) “ Change in Control ” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (“ Person ”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection, the acquisition of additional stock by any Person, who is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change in Control; or

(ii) A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (ii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer (provided that such entity is controlled in substantially the same proportions by the Company’s stockholders who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transfer), or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for the Company’s stock (provided that the value of the Company’s stock exchanged for such assets shall be substantially equal to or greater than the value of such assets, as determined by the Board), (2) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (4) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in this subsection (ii)(B)(3).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required for compliance with Code Section 409A, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time.

(p) [Reserved].

(z) “ Tax Obligations ” means tax and social insurance liability obligations and requirements in connection with the Awards, including, without limitation, (A) all federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) obligation or other payroll taxes) that are required to be withheld by an entity in the Company Group, (B) any fringe benefit tax liability the responsibility for which the Participant has, or has agreed to bear, with respect to such Award or the Shares subject to the Award, and (C) any other taxes of an entity in the Company Group the responsibility for which the Participant has, or has agreed to bear, with respect to such Award or the Shares subject to the Award.

Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future distribution under the Plan. Shares that are subject to an Award Agreement that are used to satisfy Tax Obligations shall not become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than stock, such cash payment shall not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Any payout of Awards that are payable only in cash shall not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Conversely, any forfeiture of Awards that are payable only in cash shall not increase the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

4. Administration of the Plan .

(a) Procedure .

(i) Multiple Administrative Bodies . If permitted by Applicable Laws, the Plan may be administered by different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers.

(ii) Administration With Respect to Other Persons . Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board, (B) a committee designated by the Board, or (C) a sub-committee designated by the designated Committee, which Committee or sub-committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. The Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members, remove members and substitute new members, fill vacancies, and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

(b) Powers of the Administrator . Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

(i) to determine the Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 2(q) of the Plan;

(ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

(iii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted hereunder;

(iv) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

(v) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan, which, for the avoidance of doubt, need not be identical for each Participant or Award;

Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards vest or may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions (subject to compliance with Applicable Laws, including Code Section 409A), and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan, Awards granted pursuant to the Plan and any other agreement defining the rights and obligations of the Company and the Participants under the Plan;

(viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan;

(ix) to modify or amend each Award;

(x) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

(xi) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to Awards;

(xii) to adopt such modifications, procedures, plans and sub-plans as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate to comply with provisions of the laws of the United States or any other country, to allow for tax-preferred treatment of Awards or otherwise provide for or facilitate the participation by Participants who reside outside of the United States, in order to assure the viability of the benefits of Awards made to Participants located in the United States or such other jurisdictions and to further the objectives of the Plan; and

(xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision . All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of any Awards granted under the Plan.

5. Restricted Stock Units .

(a) Grant . Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. After the Administrator determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, it shall advise the Participant in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units and the form of payout, which may be left to the discretion of the Administrator. Until the Shares are issued, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Restricted Stock Units to acquire Shares.

(b) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms . The Administrator shall set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(c) Earning Restricted Stock Units . Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a payout as specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.

(d) Form and Timing of Payment . Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. Earned Restricted Stock Units shall only be settled in Shares .

(e) Cancellation . On the date set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited to the Company.

6. Tax Provisions.

(a) Withholding Requirements . Prior to the delivery of any Shares pursuant to an Award or such earlier time as any Tax Obligations are due, the Company and/or any entity in the Company Group will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company and/or the appropriate entity in the Company Group, an amount sufficient to satisfy all Tax Obligations.

(b) Withholding Arrangements . The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may designate the method or methods by which a Participant may satisfy such Tax Obligations. As determined by the Administrator in its discretion from time to time, these methods may include one or more of the following (A) paying cash, (B) having the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares having a fair market value equal to the Tax Obligations, (C) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a fair market value equal to the Tax Obligations, (D) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the Tax Obligations, (E) retaining from salary or other amounts payable to the Participant cash having a sufficient value to satisfy the Tax Obligations, or (F) any other means which the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines to both comply with Applicable Laws, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The amount of Tax Obligations will be deemed to include any amount that the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made.

(c) Compliance with Section 409A . Each payment or benefit under this Plan and under each Award Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. The Plan, each Award and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to be exempt from or otherwise meet the requirements of Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted, including but not limited with respect to ambiguities and/or ambiguous terms, in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise specifically determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

7. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control .

(a) Changes in Capitalization . Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or pursuant to an Award Agreement, no adjustment of any Award shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date issuance of any Shares subject to such Award.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation . In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company forfeiture rights applicable to any Award shall lapse 100%, and that any Award vesting shall accelerate 100%, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously vested, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c) Change in Control . In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or entity or a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation) refuses to assume or substitute for the Awards, the Participant shall fully vest (or shall vest at such other

level(s) as provided in an Award Agreement with respect to Awards that are assumed or substituted (whether or not actually assumed or substituted)) in such Awards which would not otherwise be vested. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this paragraph, except as otherwise contemplated in an Award Agreement, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the assumed Award confers the right to receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the transaction, common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of the Company’s common stock in the merger or Change in Control.

8. No Effect on Employment or Service . Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the employing entity’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause. A Participant’s rights, if any, in respect of or in connection with any Award are derived solely from the discretionary decision of the Company to permit the Participant to participate in the Plan and to benefit from a discretionary Award. By accepting an Award hereunder, a Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that there is no obligation on the part of the Company to continue the Plan and/or grant any additional Awards. Any Award granted hereunder is not intended to be compensation of a continuing or recurring nature, or part of a Participant’s normal or expected compensation, and in no way represents any portion of a Participant’s salary, compensation, or other remuneration for purposes of pension, benefits, severance, redundancy, resignation or any other purpose. For greater certainty, except as expressly required by applicable employment standards legislation, a period of notice, if any, or payment in lieu thereof, upon termination of employment, wrongful or otherwise, shall not be considered as extending the period of employment for the purposes of the Plan. A Participant shall have no right to any compensation or damages in consequence of the Participant’s termination of employment (whether lawfully or unlawfully) or otherwise for any reason whatsoever insofar as any such right arises or may arise from the Participant ceasing to have rights or be entitled to receive any Shares in respect of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan.

9. Time of Granting Awards . The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award (or such later grant effective date authorized by the Administrator). Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

10. Term of Plan . Unless sooner terminated under Section 11, the Plan will continue in effect until the tenth (10 ^th ) year anniversary of the date that the Plan was approved by the Board.

11. Amendment and Termination of the Plan .

(a) Amendment and Termination . The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b) Stockholder Approval . The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of its adoption by the Board. In addition, any subsequent amendment to the Plan for which stockholder approval is required by Applicable Laws shall require stockholder approval. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination . No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.

12. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares .

(a) Legal Compliance . The granting of Awards and the issuance and delivery of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all Applicable Laws, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Subject to compliance with, or exception from Code Section 409A, Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award unless the exercise or vesting of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and may be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) Investment Representations . As a condition to the payout of an Award, the person receiving the Shares upon vesting, to render to the Company a written statement containing such representations and warranties as, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, may be required to ensure compliance with any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law, including a representation that the Shares are being acquired only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

13. Reservation of Shares . The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

14. Miscellaneous .

(a) Severability . If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall continue in effect.

(b) Construction . Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

(c) Clawback . An Award granted under the Plan will be subject to any provisions of Applicable Laws providing for the recoupment or clawback of incentive compensation (or any Company policy adopted to comply with Applicable Laws); the terms of any Company recoupment, clawback or similar policy in effect; and any recoupment, clawback or similar provisions that may be included in the applicable Award Agreement.

(d) Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award.

HTBASE CORPORATION

2018 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

NOTICE OF GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the HTBase Corporation 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”) shall have the same defined meanings in this Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units (the “ Notice of Grant ”), the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement set forth in Exhibit A and any other exhibits to these documents (collectively, this “ Agreement ”).



Name (“ Participant ”):
Date of Grant:

This award of Restricted Stock Units (the “ Award ”) will be effective as and when it is approved by the Company’s Board.

The Award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, as follows:



Number of Restricted Stock Units:

For the avoidance of any doubt, the number of RSUs subject to the Award will be adjusted pursuant to the exchange ratio set forth in that certain Share Purchase Agreement that the Company and its vendors intend to enter into with 1187474 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company (the “ Purchaser ”) (such agreement, the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

Each such Restricted Stock Unit is equivalent to one share of Common Stock of the Company (a “ Share ”) for purposes of determining the number of Shares subject to this Award; provided that any fractional share may be paid in cash. None of the Restricted Stock Units will be issued (nor will you have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the underlying Shares) until the vesting conditions described below are satisfied.

This Award vests as to 34% of the Shares on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and 33% of the Shares on each of the second and third anniversaries of the Closing Date, subject to Participant remaining a Service Provider through each applicable vesting date and subject to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (such transactions, the “ Transactions ”).

Participant acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any agreement Participant and any member of the Company Group may have in place to the contrary, the Transactions (including, without limitation, the consummation of the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) shall not result in, and Participant hereby expressly waives and disclaims any rights to, (i) the pay-out of any of Participant’s Restricted Stock Units (including, without limitation, any Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Award) or the pay-out of any Juniper Networks, Inc.’s restricted stock units exchanged for the Company’s Restricted Stock Units in connection with the Transactions and/or (ii) the acceleration of the vesting of any of Participant’s Restricted Stock Units (including, without limitation, any Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Award) or the acceleration of the vesting of any Juniper Networks, Inc.’s restricted stock units exchanged for the Company’s Restricted Stock Units in connection with the Transactions.

For purposes of this Agreement, “ Service Provider ” means an employee or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and any entity that, from time to time and at the time of any determination, directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company (the “ Company Group ”). Participant will not cease to be a Service Provider in the case of (i) transfers between locations of the Company or other members of the Company Group, or (ii) a change in status from employee to consultant or vice versa.

Participant hereby waives and releases to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law any and all claims or causes of action, whether or not now known, against the Company and the Purchaser and/or their respective predecessors, successors, past or present subsidiaries, affiliated companies, investors, branches or related entities (collectively, including the Company and the Purchaser, the “ Entities ”) and/or the Entities’ respective past or present insurers, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, stockholders, directors, consultants, agents, attorneys, employee benefit plans or assigns (collectively with the Entities, the “ Released Parties ”), with respect to any matter, including, without limitation, any matter based upon or arising out of the arrangement between Participant and the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, to pay or award any compensation to Participant

(including, without limitation, the grant or award of options or any other equity interests in the Company to Participant) pursuant to any offer letters, employment agreements, oral promises or otherwise, the Purchase Agreement, the Transactions and Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “ Release ”). Participant agrees not to sue or bring any other claim or action against any of the Released Parties for any of the claims subject to or otherwise described in the Release, agrees not to participate in any class, collective, representative, or group action that may include any of the claims subject to or described in the Release, and will affirmatively opt out of any such class, collective, representative or group action. Participant acknowledges that Participant has read Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California that provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Participant waives any right or benefit that Participant has or may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, any similar law of any other jurisdiction, or any common law principles of similar effect, to the full extent that Participant may lawfully waive all such rights and benefits pertaining to the subject matter of the Release. Participant understands and agrees that claims or facts in addition to or different from those which are now known or believed by Participant to exist may hereafter be discovered, but it is Participant’s intention to release all claims that he or she has or may have against the Released Parties, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the Release, Participant does not waive or release any rights Participant may have for violations of any foreign, federal, state or local statutory and/or public policy right or entitlement that, by applicable law, cannot be waived.

Participant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the vesting schedule for this Award does not constitute an express or implied promise of continued employment or engagement as a Service Provider for the vesting period, for any period, or at all, and shall not interfere with Participant’s right or the Company’s or, if different, Participant’s employer’s right to terminate your relationship as a Service Provider at any time, with or without cause.

By Participant’s acknowledgement and written signature below or Participant’s electronic acceptance of the terms of this Agreement, Participant agrees that this Agreement and the Plan constitute Participant’s entire agreement with respect to this Award and may not be modified adversely to Participant’s interest except by means of a writing agreed by the Company and Participant. Should Participant electronically accept this Agreement, Participant agrees to the following: “This electronic contract contains my electronic signature, which I have executed with the intent to sign this Agreement.”

Exhibit A

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

1. Grant . The Company hereby grants to Participant an award of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), as set forth in the Notice of Grant, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated by reference.

2. Company’s Obligation to Pay . Each RSU represents the right to receive a newly issued Share on the vesting date. Unless and until the RSUs vest in the manner set forth in Sections 3 or 4, Participant will have no right to payment with respect to such RSUs. Prior to actual distribution of Shares pursuant to any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. Any RSUs that vest in accordance with Sections 3 or 4 will be paid to Participant (or in the event of Participant’s death, to his or her estate) in whole Shares, subject to Participant satisfying any obligations for Tax-Related Items (as defined in Section 7). Subject to the provisions of Sections 4 and 8, vested RSUs will be paid as soon as practicable after vesting, but in each such case within the period 60 days following the vesting date. In no event will Participant be permitted, directly or indirectly, to specify the taxable year of the payment of any RSUs payable under this Agreement.

3. Vesting Schedule . Subject to Section 4 and to any other relevant Plan provisions, the RSUs awarded by this Agreement will vest in Participant according to the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Grant. For the avoidance of any doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will Participant receive a direct or indirect vesting acceleration benefit, nor shall the vesting of RSUs granted hereunder accelerate, as a result of or in connection with the Transactions.

4. Administrator Discretion . The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of any portion of the RSUs at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. In that case, the RSUs will be vested as of the date and to the extent specified by the Administrator and will be paid as provided in Section 2 above. The payment of Shares vesting pursuant to this Section 4 will be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Code Section 409A.

5. Forfeiture . Any RSUs that fail to vest (including, without limitation, due to Participant’s termination as a Service Provider) will immediately revert to the Plan following the earlier of (a) Participant’s termination as a Service Provider or (b) the last possible date for vesting as set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

6. Payments after Death . Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such administrator or executor must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

7. Tax Obligations .

(a) Tax Withholding .

(i) No Shares issuable on a vesting date will be issued to Participant until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) have been made by Participant for the payment of income, employment, social insurance, National Insurance Contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefit tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant, including, without limitation, in connection with the grant, vesting and settlement of the RSU, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired under the Plan and/or the receipt of any dividends on such Shares (“Tax-Related Items”) that the Administrator determines must be withheld. If Participant is a non-U.S. employee, the method of payment of Tax-Related Items may be restricted by the Appendix.

(ii) The Company has the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any Tax-Related Items by (A) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon the settlement of the RSU through a sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent), (B) requiring Participant to pay cash, or (C) reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant; provided that if the Company permits Participant to pay cash to satisfy Tax-Related Items and Participant elects to satisfy Tax-Related Items through the payment of cash and fails to deliver cash on the vesting date, the Company has the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy such Tax-Related Items by withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon the settlement of the RSU through a sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent). The Administrator will have discretion to determine the method of satisfying Tax-Related Items.

(iii) Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

(iv) If Participant is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) or former Employer may withhold or account for tax in more than one jurisdiction.

(v) Regardless of any action of the Company or the Employer, Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSUs; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.

(b) Code Section 409A . This Section 7(b) may not apply if Participant is not a U.S. taxpayer.

(i) If the vesting of any portion of the RSUs is accelerated in connection with Participant’s termination of status as a Service Provider (provided that such termination is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A) and if (x) Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A at the time of such termination as a Service Provider and (y) the payment of such accelerated RSUs will result in the imposition of additional tax under Code Section 409A if paid to Participant on or within the 6-month period following Participant’s termination as a Service Provider, then the payment of such accelerated RSUs will not be made until the first day after the end of the 6-month period.

(ii) If the termination as a Service Provider is due to death, the delay under Section 7(b)(i) will not apply. If Participant dies following his or her termination as a Service Provider, the delay under Section 7(b)(i) will be disregarded and the RSUs will be paid in Shares to Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death.

(iii) All payments and benefits under this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement are intended to be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A so that none of the RSUs or Shares issuable upon the vesting of RSUs will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Code Section 409A and the Company and Participant intend that any ambiguities be interpreted so that the RSUs are exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A.

(iv) Each payment under this Agreement is intended to be a separate payment as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

8. Rights as Stockholder . Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until Shares have been issued and recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars.

9. Acknowledgements and Agreements . Participant’s acceptance of this Agreement indicates that:

(a) PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THESE RSUS IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AND THAT BEING HIRED, AND GRANTED THESE RSUS WILL NOT RESULT IN VESTING.

(b) PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THESE RSUS AND THIS AGREEMENT DO NOT CREATE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY OR, IF DIFFERENT, THE EMPLOYER (OR ENTITY TO WHICH HE OR SHE IS PROVIDING SERVICES) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

(c) Participant agrees that this Agreement and its incorporated documents reflect all agreements on its subject matters and that he or she is not accepting this Agreement based on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those reflected in this Agreement.

(d) Participant agrees that delivery of any documents related to the Plan or Awards under the Plan, including the Plan, this Agreement, the Plan’s prospectus and any reports of the Company provided generally to the Company’s stockholders, may be made by electronic delivery. Such means of electronic delivery may include but do not necessarily include the delivery of a link to a Company intranet or the Internet site of a third party involved in administering the Plan, the delivery of the document via e-mail or such other means of electronic delivery specified by the Company. Participant acknowledges that he or she may receive from the Company a paper copy of any documents delivered electronically at no cost to Participant by contacting the Company in writing in accordance with Section 12. Participant further acknowledges that Participant will be provided with a paper copy of any documents if the attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails. Similarly, Participant understands that Participant must provide the Company or any designated third party administrator with a paper copy of any documents if the attempted electronic delivery of such documents fails. Participant may revoke his or her consent to the electronic delivery of documents or may change the electronic mail address to which such documents are to be delivered (if Participant has provided an electronic mail address) at any time by notifying the Company of such revoked consent or revised e-mail address in accordance with Section 12. Finally, Participant understands that he or she is not required to consent to electronic delivery of documents.

(e) Participant accepts that all good faith decisions or interpretations of the Administrator regarding the Plan and Awards under the Plan are binding, conclusive and final.

(f) Participant agrees that the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan.

(g) Participant agrees that the grant of RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSUs, or benefits in lieu of RSUs, even if RSUs have been granted in the past.

(h) Participant agrees that all decisions regarding future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

(i) Participant agrees that he or she is voluntarily participating in the Plan.

(j) Participant agrees that the RSUs and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation.

(k) Participant agrees that the RSUs and Shares acquired under the Plan and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, holiday pay, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments.

(l) Participant agrees that unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, the service Participant may provide as a director of a Parent or Subsidiary;

(m) Participant agrees that the future value of the Shares underlying the RSUs is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(n) Participant agrees that, for purposes of the RSUs, Participant’s engagement as a Service Provider will be considered terminated as of the date Participant ceases to actively provide services to the Company or any member of the Company Group (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not the termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is a Service Provider or the terms of Participant’s engagement agreement, if any).

(o) Participant agrees that any right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of the date described in the previous paragraph and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws (including common law, if applicable) in the jurisdiction where Participant is a Service Provider or under Participant’s engagement agreement or employment agreement, if any, unless Participant is providing bona fide services during such time).

(p) Participant agrees that the Administrator has the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of his or her RSUs (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

(q) Participant agrees that none of the Company, the Employer, or any Parent or Subsidiary will be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the RSUs or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

(r) Participant has read and agrees to the data privacy provisions of Section 11 of this Agreement.

(s) Participant agrees that no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from the termination of Participant’s status as a Service Provider (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is a Service Provider or the terms of Participant’s service agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the RSUs to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or any member of the Company Group, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and all members of the Company Group from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim.

10. No Advice Regarding Grant . Neither the Company nor any member of the Company Group is providing any tax, legal or financial advice, and neither the Company nor any member of the Company Group is making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. Nothing stated in this Agreement or the Plan is intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding taxpayer or other penalties.

11. Data Privacy .

(a) Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any member of the Company Group for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(b) Participant understands that the Company, the Employer and members of the Company Group may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, residency, status, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or the Company Group, details of all restricted stock units or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (collectively “Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

(c) Participant understands that Data will be transferred to the Company, any member of the Company Group, or one or more stock plan service providers as may be selected by the Company from time to time, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country of operation (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purposes of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her engagement as a Service Provider and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Participant restricted stock units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

12. Address for Notices . Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed prior to the Closing Date in care of Attn: Chief Executive Officer, at HTBase Corporation, 4080 Confederation Parkway, Suite 304, Mississauga, Ontario L5B 0G1, and after the Closing Date in care of Attn: Stock Administration, at Juniper Networks, Inc., 1133 Innovation Way, Sunnyvale, California 94089; to Participant will be provided to the physical or electronic mail address maintained for Participant in the Company’s records; or in either case, at such other address as the Company or the Participant, as the case may be, may hereafter designate in writing.

13. No Effect on Employment . Participant’s employment with the Company or, if different, the Employer is not affected by this grant of RSUs. Accordingly, the terms of Participant’s employment with the Company or, if different, the Employer will be determined from time to time by the Company or, if different, the Employer, and the Company or the Employer will have the right, which is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate or change the terms of the employment of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause or notice.

14. Grant is Not Transferable . Except to the limited extent provided in Section 7, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this grant, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this grant and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.

15. Binding Agreement . Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

16. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock . If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority.

17. Plan Governs . This Agreement and the Notice of Grant are subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement or the Notice of Grant and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.

18. Administrator Authority . The Administrator will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any RSUs have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will be final and binding upon Employee, the Company and all other interested persons. Neither the Administrator nor any member of the Company Group will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

19. [Reserved.]

20. Agreement Severable . In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

21. Modifications to this Agreement . The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Participant, to comply with Code Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Code Section 409A in connection to these RSUs, or to comply with other Applicable Laws.

22. Notice of Governing Law; Venue . This grant of RSUs shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The parties further agree that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement shall be instituted exclusively in the courts of California or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California and no other courts. The parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over them, waive all objections to the contrary, and waive any and all objections to the exclusive location of legal proceedings in California or the federal courts for the United States for the Northern District of California (including, without limitation, any objection based on cost, convenience or location of relevant persons). The parties further agree that there shall be a conclusive presumption that this Agreement has a significant, material and reasonable relationship to the State of California.

23. Insider Trading/Market Abuse Laws . Participant acknowledges that, depending on his or her country, Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect his or her ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to Shares (e.g., RSUs) under the Plan during such times as Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in Participant’s country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. Participant is responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable restrictions and is advised to consult his or her personal legal advisor on this matter.

24. Waiver . Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Participant or any other participant in the Plan.

MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Master Services Agreement is between Juniper Networks, Inc. , a Delaware corporation with a principal place of business at 1133 Innovation Way, Sunnyvale, California 94089 (“ Customer ”), and International Business Machines Corporation , a New York corporation with a principal place of business at One New Orchard Road, Armonk, New York 10504 (“ Provider ”).

Provider is in the business of providing outsourcing, professional and other related services to customers. Customer Group desires to obtain certain outsourcing, professional and other related services from Provider, and Provider desires to provide such services to Customer Group, such Services as described in the Statements of Work to be entered into from time to time by Customer Group and Provider pursuant to the terms and conditions of this MSA. Customer and Provider desire to set forth in this MSA the general terms and conditions pursuant to which Provider will provide such services to Customer and all other members of Customer Group under the applicable Statements of Work.

Therefore, Customer and Provider (each a “ Party ” and together the “ Parties ”) agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION .

1.1 Definitions . Capitalized terms used in the Agreement have the meanings set forth in Schedule 1 (Definitions) or Schedule 3 (Cross-Functional Terms) unless otherwise defined in the context of the provision.

1.2 Interpretation . In the Agreement, unless otherwise specified, (A) headings are for ease of reference only and will not be taken into account in construing or interpreting the Agreement; (B) references to any recital, Section, Exhibit, Schedule, or paragraph are to those contained in the Agreement; (C) all Exhibits and Schedules to the Agreement are an integral part of the Agreement and are incorporated in the Agreement by such reference; (D) the use of the term “including,” means “including without limitation,” “include without limitation” or “includes without limitation.” Similarly, the term “for example” and the abbreviation “ e.g. ” mean “as one example and without limitation of other examples”; (E) the singular includes the plural and vice versa and any gender includes either gender; (F) all references to time refer to the local prevailing time in Sunnyvale, California; (G) all references to “dollars” or “$” will mean United States Dollars, unless otherwise indicated; (H) reference to any statute, law, regulation, rule, delegated legislation, or order is to any statute, law, regulation, rule, delegated legislation, or order as amended, modified, or replaced from time to time and to any statute, law, regulation, rule, delegated legislation, or order replacing or made under any of them; (I) the expression “this Section” or “this section” will, unless followed by reference to a specific provision, be deemed to refer to the whole clause (not merely the sub-clause, paragraph, or other provision) in which the expression occurs; and (J) “in writing” includes any communication made by letter, facsimile, or email, in accordance with Section 25.2 (Notices), below.

ARTICLE 2. TERM .

2.1 Initial Term . The term of this MSA commences on December 31, 2018 (the “ Effective Date ”) and will continue until the termination or expiration of the last remaining Statement of Work under this MSA unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with its terms. Each Statement of Work executed between the Parties will specify its effective date and expiration date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of this MSA or extended in accordance with Section 2.2 (SOW Term Extensions). If the expiration date for a specified Statement of Work occurs after the expiration or termination of this MSA, then this MSA will remain effective solely for the provision of Services under such Statement of Work, until the expiration or termination of such Statement of Work.

2.2 SOW Term Extensions . Customer may extend each Statement of Work for up to one (1) extension period or such other extension periods as agreed upon in an applicable Statement of Work (each, a “ SOW Term Extension ”), each of up to twelve (12) months, on the same terms and conditions (including no increase in Fees) by giving Provider notice of such extension and of the length thereof at least ninety (90) days before the end of the term of such Statement of Work or any SOW Term Extension under this Section 2.2 (SOW Term Extensions).

ARTICLE 3. SERVICES .

3.1 Statements of Work .

(A) Provider will provide the Services to, and perform the Services for, Customer Group, for use by Customer Group and its Authorized Users in accordance with this MSA and one or more Statements of Work. Provider’s timely performance of the Services under an applicable Statement of Work is of the utmost importance to Customer. Provider’s failure to meet applicable Service Levels or the milestones or other deadlines set forth in an applicable Statement of Work according to the terms of the Agreement or the applicable Statement of Work will be a breach of Provider’s obligations under the Agreement.

(B) If Customer and/or Customer Group desires Provider to perform Services pursuant to this MSA, and Provider agrees to perform such Services, Customer and/or Customer Group and Provider will enter into one or more Statements of Work for such Services, each substantially in the form included in Schedule 2 (Form of Statement of Work) (each, a “ Statement of Work ” or “ SOW ”).

(C) In the event that a particular Statement of Work contemplates the delivery of Services to entities in geographies outside the United States, the Parties will enter into, or cause each of their respective Affiliates to enter into, one or more local country agreements for the purpose of memorializing the implementation of this MSA and the applicable Statement of Work (each, a “ Local Services Agreement ”) at the country level. All Services will be provided by Provider or the applicable Affiliate of Provider pursuant to this MSA or an executed Local Services Agreement. Unless and to the extent an individual Local Services Agreement expressly provides otherwise, each Local Services Agreement will incorporate by reference the terms and conditions of this MSA and will not be construed as altering or superseding the rights and obligations of the Parties under this MSA. The term of each Local Services Agreement will commence on the Effective Date of the applicable Local Services Agreement and will continue until the last day of the term of the applicable SOWs, unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with the terms of this MSA or such Local Services Agreement.

(D) From time to time during the Term, Customer and/or Customer Group may wish to obtain Services that are not then covered by an existing Statement of Work and that are materially different from or materially in addition to the Services (“ New Services ”). For the avoidance of doubt, additional volumes of Services for which there is a charging mechanism specified in the applicable SOW are not considered New Services. In the case of New Services, Customer has no obligation to provide Provider with a first right of refusal to provide New Services to Customer Group. Customer may, in its sole discretion, elect to have Provider bid to provide New Services to Customer Group. If Customer so elects, Customer will provide Provider with a general description of the New Services to be provided, the business requirements, or the desired outcome. Provider will promptly, and at no charge to Customer, prepare a proposal to Customer setting forth the Statement of Work terms and conditions on which it would provide such New Services and will deliver to Customer a proposed Statement of Work in the form set forth in Schedule 2

Confidential

Juniper – IBM, MSA, dated 12-31-2018

MA-IB-00136-2018

Confidential Treatment Requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.

(Form of Statement of Work) or a proposed amendment to the applicable Statement of Work. The proposed Fees for New Services will consider the resources and expenses of Provider for Services that would no longer be required if Provider performed New Services. Customer will review Provider’s proposal and may request Changes. If Customer in its sole discretion decides to proceed with Provider providing the New Services, the Parties will negotiate in good faith and consistent with any existing Statement of Work regarding any such requested Changes and work to promptly finalize the Statement of Work for the New Services. Customer will not be obligated to pay for any New Services prior to the finalization of a Statement of Work unless expressly stated in the Statement of Work.

(E) In addition to the services, functions, responsibilities, and tasks expressly described in the scope of services or other detailed description of the Services under a Statement of Work, the following are deemed to be included in the Services as if expressly described in the Agreement:

(1) All services, functions, responsibilities, and tasks that are an inherent part of, or a necessary sub-part included within, or that are reasonably required for or incidental to the proper and complete performance and provision of the expressly described Services;

(2) communication and coordination of efforts by and among Provider Staff as required to perform such services, functions, responsibilities, and tasks pursuant to a Statement of Work;

(3) in the case of a Statement of Work involving the transfer of Affected Employees, the services, functions, responsibilities, and tasks that were performed by the Affected Employees on a consistent or routine basis during the twelve (12) months preceding the SOW Effective Date;

(4) all services, functions, tasks or responsibilities necessary for Provider to comply with Customer Policies, as described in Section 3.16 (Customer Policies) below; and

(5) all services, functions, tasks or responsibilities necessary for Provider to comply with the cross-functional service terms, as described in Schedule 3 (Cross-Functional Service Terms.

(F) Provider will provide the Services to Customer Group designated by Customer and provide such Services at least at the industry standards practiced generally by top tier well managed service providers providing similar services in similar circumstances, but in no case less than the standard performed by Affected Employees during the twelve (12) months preceding the applicable SOW Effective Date.

(G) Each Statement of Work must be signed by an Authorized Representative of each Party. Provider acknowledges and agrees that no Statement of Work will be effective unless and until signed by Authorized Representatives of both Parties. All Statements of Work incorporate by reference and are subject to, the terms and conditions of this MSA. Once executed by both Parties, the new Statement of Work will be effective as of the effective date specified in the Statement of Work and become a part of and be a Schedule to this MSA, and the Services thereunder will form part of the Services governed by the Agreement. The Statements of Work will be serially numbered ( i.e. , the first being Statement of Work No. 1, the second being Statement of Work No. 2, the third being Statement of Work No. 3, etc.) and include a brief substantive description in the title.

(H) This MSA together with each Statement of Work is to be interpreted as a single agreement so that all provisions are given as full effect as possible. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this MSA and a Statement of Work, this MSA will control, except to the extent the Parties expressly agree in such Statement of Work that the Statement of Work will control with respect to the specific provision of the MSA to be overridden. The order of precedence is as follows (items with a lower number having priority over, and controlling in the event of a conflict with, items having a higher number): (1) this MSA, (2) any Schedules or other attachments incorporated in this MSA other than Statements of Work, and (3) the Statements of Work including the Exhibits and other attachments thereto (but only with respect to Services to be performed under such Statement of Work).

3.2 Non-Exclusivity of Services . Customer retains the right to perform itself or retain Customer Agents and/or other third parties to perform any or a portion of the Services subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.1 (Termination for Convenience). In the case of Customer’s reduction of any Services under this Section 3.2 (Non-Exclusivity of Services), the Fees for the remaining Services will be as set forth in a Statement of Work; or if not addressed in the Statement of Work, the Fees will be equitably adjusted to reflect those Services that are no longer required and in the case of a Partial Termination the provisions of Section 19.1 (Termination for Convenience) will apply.

3.3 No Minimum Commitment . As of the Effective Date, Customer intends to use Provider to meet certain of its outsourcing needs during the Term. However, Customer does not make any minimum Fee or volume commitment under the Agreement unless otherwise provided in the Fees Exhibit to a Statement of Work. Nothing in the Agreement will be interpreted as a requirements contract or a “take-or-pay” contract. Furthermore, Provider does not receive any exclusive rights under the Agreement and nothing in the Agreement will be construed as requiring Customer or Customer Group to purchase services solely from Provider. Any and all Fees must be agreed to in writing by Customer and Provider in advance.

3.4 Projects . From time to time during the Term, Customer may engage Provider to perform a Project in accordance with the project engagement procedure set forth in Schedule 5 (Governance). Provider will comply with Schedule 5 (Governance) and perform each Project, complete all Project Milestones, and provide all Deliverables in accordance with the Project Documents.

3.5 Changes to Customer Group . If a change to all or part of Customer’s business structure, by merger, acquisition, divestiture, or reorganization (“ Restructuring ”) results in an entity that was not previously an Affiliate of Customer becoming part of Customer Group (“ Acquired Entity ”), then Customer may require Provider to provide the Services to the Acquired Entity under the Agreement.

Entities ” and, together with Acquired Entities, “ New Entities ”), then Customer may require Provider to provide the Services to the Divested Entity under the terms of the Agreement for a period of up to [***]. If Customer notifies Provider that it is considering or intends to engage in a Restructuring, Provider will, at no additional cost to Customer, provide reasonable assistance, information, and advice to assist Customer in evaluating the time and expense and any associated risks of providing Services to an Acquired Entity or continuing or terminating Services to a Divested Entity.

At its own expense, Provider will (A) obtain and maintain all Governmental Approvals required for Provider and all Provider Agents to provide the Services; (B) obtain, maintain, and comply with all of the Provider Consents; and (C) comply with the Customer Consents. With Provider providing assistance as requested by Customer, Customer will obtain, maintain and comply with the Customer Consents. As requested by the other Party, each Party will cooperate with the other Party in the other Party’s obtainment of the Governmental Approvals and the Consents that such other Party is required to obtain pursuant to this Section 3.6 (Governmental Approvals and Consents). If Customer is unable to satisfy its obligation to obtain a Customer Consent, the Parties will discuss and agree upon commercially reasonable alternative approaches as are necessary and sufficient to provide the Services without such Customer Consent, and such alternative approaches will be documented pursuant to the Change Control Procedures.

3.7 Technology and Process Evolution . In providing the Services to Customer and/or Customer Group, Provider will, at no additional cost to Customer and/or Customer Group, (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to continually improve its technology and processes to allow Customer and/or Customer Group to take advantage of technological and process advances related to the Services, (B) regularly provide for Customer’s evaluation any technology developments that could reasonably be expected to have a positive impact on the Services that Provider uses or intends to use for any of its other clients for similar services, and (C) leverage its leading available technology and processes as appropriate for a given service when providing Services of that type for Customer and/or Customer Group as described in the applicable Statement of Work.

3.10 Customer Systems . In providing the Services, Provider will ensure that it does not, without the prior written consent of an Authorized Representative of Customer or acting in accordance with a signed Statement of Work in which Provider expressly sets forth the anticipated adverse effect or alteration, adversely affect or alter (A) the operation, functionality, security, or technical environment of the Customer Systems or (B) the processes used by Customer, Customer Group, or Customer Agents in connection with their businesses (the “ Retained Processes ”). Provider will be proactive in keeping itself informed about Customer Systems and Retained Processes as necessary to provide the Services. At Customer’s request, Provider will coordinate with Customer to evaluate the impact of any alterations to Customer Systems and Retained Processes to the extent such alterations may impact the Services. Customer may furnish Provider Staff with access to Customer Systems, as expressly set forth in the applicable SOW when and to the limited extent necessary for the performance of Services under this Agreement. Provider will limit all access to Customer Systems, whether provided at a Service Location or through remote access, to such Provider Staff approved in advance in writing by an Authorized Representative of Customer and to such access as is reasonably necessary in connection with the performance of Services, only for the minimum duration necessary to perform the relevant Services, and as otherwise may be limited by the terms of agreements with third parties (to the extent any relevant requirements have been disclosed in advance by Customer to Provider). Provider will ensure that no Provider Staff will have “standing access” to Customer Systems ( i.e. , continuing access whether or not the individual is actively engaged in the performance of Services). Customer will make such Customer Systems available on an “AS IS, WHERE IS, AS AVAILABLE” basis, with no warranties whatsoever. Customer may terminate any and all such access at any time and upon such termination, such Provider Staff will immediately cease all access and use of such Customer Systems and any Non-Provider Failure resulting from such termination of access will be treated in accordance with Section 3.20 (Excuse from Performance). Provider will comply with, and will ensure Provider Staff comply with, all agreements with third parties and all Customer Policies prohibiting or restricting remote access to Customer Systems (to the extent any relevant requirements and Customer Policies have been disclosed in advance by Customer to Provider).

3.11 Satisfaction Surveys . Provider and Customer will conduct satisfaction surveys as set forth in the Statements of Work.

3.12 Responsibility for Resources . Except as otherwise expressly provided in this MSA or the applicable Statement of Work, Provider will be responsible for providing the Service Locations, personnel, Systems, software, technical knowledge, expertise, and other resources necessary to provide the Services.

3.13 Work Reprioritization . Customer may identify new activities to be performed by Provider Staff then assigned on a dedicated basis to providing the Services (including work activities that would otherwise be treated as a Project) or reprioritize or reset the schedule for existing work activities to be performed by such Provider Staff, so long as such activities are similar to the types of activities that Provider Staff is trained to perform. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Customer will incur no additional charges for the performance of such work activities by Provider Staff to the extent such work activities can be performed by the dedicated Provider Staff then assigned to Customer. Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such work activities without impacting the established schedule for other tasks or the performance of the Services in accordance with the Service Levels. If after using such efforts it is not possible to avoid such an impact, Provider will notify Customer of the anticipated impact and obtain Customer’s consent prior to proceeding with such work activities. In its sole discretion, Customer may forego or delay such work activities or temporarily adjust the work to be performed by Provider, the schedules associated with the work, or the Service Levels to permit the performance by Provider of such work activities at no additional cost or charge to Customer. Any Non-Provider Failure resulting from such re-prioritized work will be treated in accordance with Section 3.20 (Excuse from Performance)

3.14 Cooperation with Third Parties . The performance of Services may involve work with the former third-party suppliers of the Services (“ Former Providers ”) and other third-party suppliers, consultants, advisors, suppliers, contractors, and agents of Customer. If reasonably requested by Customer, Provider will work diligently with any and all such third parties as specified by Customer in writing for the purposes of the fulfillment of the Services and at no additional charge. Without limiting the foregoing, Provider will provide such cooperative assistance and access to Provider Systems as reasonably requested by Customer Group, including providing: (i) the necessary information related to the Services that Customer Group requests to enable Customer Group to draft a request for proposal(s) relating to the Services and to provide existing information to support due diligence for recipients of such request for proposal; (ii) access to Service Locations used by Provider to provide the Services as necessary for Customer Group or third-party suppliers to survey the current environment being used to deliver the Service(s) (other than a Shared Service Delivery Environment); (iii) assistance and support services to Customer Group or third-party suppliers to the extent related to the Services; (iv) making the Provider Systems available to Customer, Customer Agents, and/or the third-party supplier in accordance with and to the extent required by Article 20 (Termination Assistance) and Schedule 4 (Termination Assistance); (v) such information regarding the operating environment, Provider System constraints and other operating parameters related to the Services as a person with reasonable commercial skills and expertise would find reasonably necessary for the Customer Group or third-party suppliers to perform the Services; and (vi) assisting Customer in obtaining all required Customer Consents. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances are any such providers, consultants, advisors, suppliers, or contractors of Customer authorized to bind Customer in any way or enter into any commitments on behalf of Customer. Provider will treat Confidential Information received from Former Providers, such third-party suppliers, consultants, advisors, suppliers, and contractors in connection with the provision of Services as Customer’s Confidential Information subject to the terms of the Agreement. If the foregoing obligations require any of Provider’s Confidential Information to be disclosed to a third party, such third party must execute a reasonable non-disclosure agreement before receiving such information. Customer will ensure that the terms of such non-disclosure agreement are at least as protective of Provider’s Confidential Information as the terms of the Agreement. In connection with such cooperation and access, Customer, Customer Agents and other third parties will comply with Provider’s reasonable security and confidentiality requirements provided in advance in writing to Customer, and will, to the extent performing work on Provider Systems, comply with Provider’s reasonable standards, methodologies, and procedures provided in advance in writing to Customer.

(A) Each SOW will include in an exhibit the license, support, maintenance and/or other agreements (if any) that Provider will manage as part of the Services (collectively, the “ Managed Contracts ”, each such agreement a “ Managed Contract ”). If any agreement inadvertently was omitted from such exhibit but was reasonably expected by the Parties to be included on such exhibit, then at Customer’s request, the Parties will add such agreement to the applicable exhibit. Customer hereby appoints Provider to act during the Term as its single point of contact and interface for any matters pertaining to services being managed by Provider under such Managed Contracts with respect to the Agreement, and Customer will notify all appropriate third parties (including the third-party suppliers of such Managed Contracts) of such appointment. Provider will manage the Managed Contracts in accordance with the terms of the Managed Contracts and the Agreement. Customer may at any time exercise reasonable control over Provider’s actions with respect to such third-party suppliers as it relates to the provision of Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) Provider will not manage the [***] attributable to such Managed Contracts and (2) in performing such services, Provider will not, without the prior written authorization of Customer, incur any cost, expense or obligation in the name of Customer and/or Customer Group, and/or make any representations or warranties on behalf of Customer and/or Customer Group.

(B) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Provider will: (1) cooperate with Customer and the applicable third-party supplier with respect to the Managed Contract; (2) manage the third-party supplier’s performance as outlined in such Managed Contract and act as a single point of contact and interface, on Customer’s behalf, to the applicable third-party supplier with respect to issues relating to such performance; (3) proactively manage the day-to-day services, deliverables and other performance obligations set forth in the Managed Contract; (4) operate an on-going quality management program to verify that the quality of services delivered by the third-party supplier meets or exceeds performance requirements stated in the Managed Contract; (5) subject to Customer’s prior written approval, include Customer and the applicable third-party supplier in operational meetings related to the Services, and overall governance meetings, to the extent necessary and appropriate to the services being performed by the third-party supplier; (6) work and cooperate with the third-party supplier to define and reduce to practice a hierarchical dispute resolution process within no more than [***] days (unless another period is requested by either Party, discussed by the Parties in good faith and agreed to by the Parties, such agreement will not be unreasonably withheld) of the addition of the applicable Managed Contract to the applicable SOW exhibit; (7) handle and reasonably resolve third-party supplier performance issues and other issues or disputes related to the Managed Contract through the hierarchical dispute resolution process to resolution and monitor occurrences to determine corrective action requirements; (8) monitor and report on third-party supplier performance and any corrective action plan status, if applicable; (9) promptly notify Customer of any issues that may impact the third-party supplier’s overall provision of the Services and which could not be reasonably resolved during the agreed upon hierarchical dispute resolution process between Provider and the applicable third-party supplier; and (10) promptly provide Customer with information with respect to Provider’s management of the Managed Contract, including the foregoing, upon written request by Customer.

(C) Upon the expiry of each Managed Contract, Customer will allow such Managed Contract to expire and, as of the expiry date, Provider will be responsible for providing the day-to-day services, deliverables and other performance obligations set forth in the Managed Contract either itself or through a Provider Agent (subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 (Provider Agents)) and the foregoing responsibilities will no longer apply with respect to such expired Managed Contract. In the event Customer terminates any such Managed Contract prior to its contract expiry date, at Customer’s request and subject to the Change Control Procedures, Provider will be responsible for

providing the day-to-day services, deliverables and other performance obligations set forth in such terminated Managed Contract.

3.16 Customer Policies . In providing the Services, Provider will comply with the Customer Policies and will cause its Provider Agents and Provider Staff to comply with all Customer Policies. Provider acknowledges that Customer may update, amend, and modify the Customer Policies and issue new Customer Policies from time to time. If changes to any such Customer Policies or any new Customer Policies are first disclosed to Provider, or revised, after the Effective Date, to the extent that Provider’s compliance with the newly disclosed or revised policies and procedures would materially increase or decrease: (A) Provider’s resource requirements; and/or (B) level of effort or ability to perform the affected Services, either Party may request the Parties to enter the Change Control Procedures specified on Schedule 6 (Change Control Procedures) to expeditiously negotiate in good faith a change order and an equitable allocation of increased or decreased costs, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, Provider will comply with such new, updated, amended, or modified Customer Policies and will cause its Provider Agents to comply with all such Customer Policies. Customer will notify Provider of any such updates, amendments or modifications to Customer Policies in writing and Provider will be responsible for complying with such changes thereafter. Provider acknowledges that such written notice may include a link to such changes on Customer’s intranet. Customer will provide Provider with a password or passwords for Provider to access Customer’s intranet. Provider will take such actions as are necessary to maintain the confidentiality of, and prevent the unauthorized use of, each password and will be responsible for any such unauthorized use. Provider will immediately notify Customer in writing if Provider determines, or has reason to believe, that an unauthorized Person has gained access to a password.

3.17 Non-Compliance with Customer Policies . Suspected or actual incidents of non-compliance with Customer Policies will be managed to resolution by Provider’s compliance team in cooperation and consultation with Customer, and Provider will provide reports to Customer on an event-occurrence basis. If Provider Staff are responsible for such incidents, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with the appropriate Provider Staff policies. Such disciplinary action may include Provider removing such Provider Staff from providing Services to Customer.

3.18 Process Interface Manual . As Provider transitions and migrates Services in accordance with each applicable Transition Plan, Provider will as part of Transition, with Customer’s input and cooperation, develop and update as-needed at all times during the applicable SOW term, a detailed, Customer-specific Process Interface Manual for each of the Services in a mutually agreed form and scope that minimally includes the content specified on Schedule 7 (Program Management and Process Interface Manual). Provider will provide the Services in accordance with the Process Interface Manual. Prior to completion of the Process Interface Manual, Provider will provide the Services in accordance with the policies and procedures generally used by Customer.

3.19 Due Diligence .

(A) Provider acknowledges and agrees that it has performed reasonable due diligence required to perform its obligations under the Agreement. Provider will not be entitled to adjust the Fees or be relieved of any obligations under the Agreement, including performing the Services and satisfying the Service Levels, as a result of: (A) its failure to request any information or documents from Customer; (B) its failure to review any information or documents provided by or on behalf of Customer, including information or documents provided by or on behalf of Customer under the Statements of Work; or (C) its failure to verify any assumptions that would otherwise impact the Services or Fees. Customer will, in a timely manner, provide information reasonably requested by Provider to support

the performance by Provider of its due diligence obligations; provided, that such information is reasonably available to Customer and Customer has the rights necessary to provide such information to Provider.

(B) During the period starting after the Effective Date and ending on [***] (the “ Joint Verification Period ”), Customer and Provider may inventory and validate any information that is reflected in or omitted from this Agreement based on information provided by Customer prior to the Effective Date, related to the following categories: 1) resource unit baselines; 2) third-party contracts, leases, licenses that are in scope; 3) Customer Systems; and 3) Affected Employees and their responsibilities (“ Verifiable Information ”).

(1) Customer and Provider will each appoint a business lead responsible for leading and coordinating the joint verification process for Customer and Provider, respectively (“ Joint Verification Leads ”). The Joint Verification Leads will meet promptly (and then at least weekly during the Joint Verification Period) and will work cooperatively to request, provide and promptly respond to any requests from each other related to Verifiable Information. At the initial meeting, Provider’s Joint Verification Lead will present a list of any Verifiable Information that Provider would like to verify.

(2) If, as a result of this joint verification process, Customer or Provider discovers inaccuracies or omissions in Verifiable Information, Customer and Provider will negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to provide for an equitable adjustment to the Fees, baselines, Service Levels and other terms of this Agreement affected by such inaccuracies or omissions. If either Party disputes the inaccuracy or the equitable adjustment, either Party may submit the matter to the escalation process in Schedule 5 (Governance).

3.20 Excuse from Performance . Provider will be excused from failures to perform Services only if and to the extent (A) caused by (i) the act or omission of Customer, a member of Customer Group or a third party engaged by or managed by Customer (except if and to the extent caused by Provider); (ii) any Equipment, Customer Software, or other technology refresh or maintenance for which Customer or a member of Customer Group is responsible to the extent such responsibility is identified in the Statement of Work; (iii) Provider acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with the written decision or direction of the Customer Relationship Manager; provided that Provider has described the potential adverse consequences to the Customer Relationship Manager in writing; or (v) Customer or Customer Group’s failure to perform one or more Customer Operational Responsibilities or of Customer’s responsibilities expressly identified in this Agreement or the applicable SOW, provided such Customer responsibilities are reasonably required under the circumstances and are not hindered, impaired, delayed, or otherwise impacted by or dependent on Provider, Provider Agents, or Provider Staff (a “ Non-Provider Failure ”); (B) such Non-Provider Failure directly and materially causes Provider’s failure to perform the applicable Services (an “ Excused Performance Failure ”); and (C) Provider, as soon as reasonably possible under the circumstances, (1) notifies Customer of the Non-Provider Failure and Customer fails to remedy the failure; (2) uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the adverse consequences of the Non-Provider Failure; and (3) timely resumes performing the affected Services upon resolution of the Non-Provider Failure. Customer will not be in breach of the Agreement, and Provider will not have the right to terminate this MSA, the applicable SOW, or the Services (in each case, in whole or in part), to claim damages, or to seek other remedies (except for excuse from performance under this section) due to the there being a Non-Provider Failure that causes an Excused Performance Failure (except for Customer’s obligations hereunder related to payment and withholding of disputed Fees). Each member of Provider Staff is expected to immediately escalate an issue if such Provider Staff member’s performance is impacted by a Non-Provider Failure. Notwithstanding any Non-Provider Failure, Provider will use proactive, good faith efforts at all times to maximize the possibility that the Services will nonetheless be performed in a timely manner.

If no acceptance criteria is set forth in the applicable SOW, then acceptance for each such item will be subject to Customer’s reasonable satisfaction that such item (1) complies in all material respects with the Specifications, Documentation, and instructions therefor and (2) if applicable, is delivered free of material errors. Customer will notify Provider of its acceptance or rejection of each Reviewable Item within the time frame specified in a Statement of Work or if not specified in a commercially reasonable time frame but not exceeding [***] Business Days unless otherwise agreed. Customer may notify Provider of rejection of a Reviewable Item in writing, including through reporting at the Performance Review Board under Schedule 5 (Governance), that such item is not performing sufficiently or requires additional work, re-performance, or re-delivery in order to meet the acceptance criteria and specifying in reasonable detail how the Reviewable Item failed to meet the acceptance criteria.

3.22 Deficiencies in Reviewable Items . If Customer rejects a Reviewable Item, the Parties will agree promptly (but in no later than [***] Business Days from the date of rejection of such Reviewable Item) upon a time period, for Provider to correct the Reviewable Item at Provider’s sole cost and expense and re-deliver to Customer the corrected Deliverable (including by, at Provider’s option, repairing or replacing any and all such Deliverables), re-perform the Project or Service, or satisfy the phase or milestone (or, in each case, the portion thereof). Provider will take such actions set forth in the foregoing sentence during the agreed upon time period and will recover to the Project schedule as per the applicable SOW.

3.23 Rejection Process . If any Reviewable Item is again rejected after Provider takes such actions set forth in Section 3.22 (Deficiencies in Reviewable Items) above, then Customer may elect, in its sole discretion for those Reviewable Items for which a specific Fee or other amount is payable: (A) (1) if payment has not been made, to withhold payment for such Reviewable Item; or (2) if payment has been made, to recover from Provider the Fees paid for such Reviewable Item; (B) to correct the Reviewable Item and charge Provider with the cost of such correction; (C) to provide Provider with another opportunity to correct the Reviewable Item at Provider’s sole cost and expense and re-deliver to Customer the corrected Deliverable (including by, at Provider’s option, either repairing or replacing such Deliverable), re-perform the Project or Service if applicable, or satisfy the phase or milestone (or, in each case, the portion thereof) within the agreed upon time period determined in accordance with Section 3.22 (Deficiencies in Reviewable Items); or (D) to purchase services comparable to the Reviewable Item in the open market or from other suppliers, as deemed appropriate by Customer using commercially reasonable judgement and subject to Customer’s duty to mitigate, and, at Customer’s option, charge Provider with any reasonable cost differential between the price of the Reviewable Item and the price paid, which cost may include premium fees for expedited delivery and administrative costs. In addition, for any Reviewable Item agreed to and designated by the Parties in an SOW as a “ Termination Trigger Deliverable ” or otherwise as an event for which the applicable SOW may be terminated, Customer may reject the Reviewable Item in accordance with Section 3.21 (Acceptance Testing), and terminate the applicable SOW (in whole or in part), upon written notice to Provider, effective immediately, without further opportunity to cure and without further obligation or liability to Provider except for any Termination Charge Amounts specified in an SOW.

For Projects where there are multiple related Reviewable Items, acceptance pursuant to Sections 3.20 (Acceptance Testing), 3.22 (Deficiencies in Reviewable Items), and 3.23 (Rejection Process) above of any Reviewable Items by Customer only constitutes conditional acceptance (“ Conditional Acceptance ”) by Customer. Customer will have a commercially reasonable time frame for the final acceptance or rejection in accordance with this Section of all Reviewable Items in each Project. Customer will confirm in writing that each such Reviewable Item conforms in all material respects to any and all completion criteria and/or user acceptance testing or other similar testing processes set forth in a SOW, performance in accordance with the Specifications and Documentation in a production environment, and/or such other requirements for final acceptance set out in an applicable SOW (collectively, “ Completion Criteria ”). Customer will notify Provider of failure to meet the Completion Criteria in writing, including through reporting at the Performance Review Board under Schedule 5 (Governance), that such Reviewable Items are not performing sufficiently or require additional work, re-performance, or re-delivery to meet the applicable Completion Criteria and specify in reasonable detail how the Reviewable Item failed to meet the Completion Criteria. In the case of any such rejection, Provider may have a reasonable opportunity to cure any such deficiencies but no later than [***] days from receipt of such notice unless another time period is agreed by the Parties in writing.

3.25 No Deemed Acceptance . Customer’s acceptance of any Reviewable Item will not prejudice Customer’s rights or remedies in equity, at Law, or under contract, including in the event that any such Reviewable Item is subsequently found not to be in compliance with the relevant acceptance criteria during any warranty period for such Reviewable Item set out in the applicable Statement of Work. For the avoidance of doubt, access, use or possession, completion, payment for, and/or receipt of delivery of any Reviewable Item will not be deemed to be acceptance of such item.

Customer may monitor, test, and otherwise participate in the Transition as set out in the Transition Plan or as otherwise mutually agreed. If the Transition will entail phased implementation for separate countries or other Service components, unless the Transition Plan provides otherwise, Customer may delay the commencement of one or more Transition phases until deficiencies affecting prior phases have been fully remedied or, if Customer deems the delay necessary, to make Changes to the Transition process to avoid replicating such deficiencies in new phases.

ARTICLE 5. TRANSFORMATION .

Provider will provide Customer with, at a minimum, monthly reports on Provider’s compliance with the Service Levels in accordance with Schedule 3 (Cross-Functional Service Terms) and Schedule 9 (Information and System Security Requirements). Provider will implement measurement and monitoring tools and procedures required to measure Provider’s performance of the Services and to report on such performance at a level of detail that is sufficient for Customer to readily verify compliance with the Service Levels, including measurements and metrics to assess information and system security Service Levels, and whether additional security controls or remediation are appropriate, subject to the processes described in Section 17.13 (Notice of Adverse Impact). Provider will provide Customer with online access to the raw data from such measurement and monitoring tools as such data becomes available online to Provider. Upon reasonable request by Customer, Provider will provide Customer and its designees access to and information concerning such measurement and monitoring tools, procedures, and performance information for purposes of audit, inspection, and verification.

7.3 Anticipated Default; Root-Cause Analysis . If Provider anticipates that it may fail to meet one or more Service Levels, Provider will promptly inform Customer of the anticipated failure and, thereafter, at time intervals determined by Customer, update Customer on its efforts to avoid the anticipated failure until Customer determines the updates are no longer needed and Provider is once again able to meet or exceed the affected Service Levels. If Provider fails to provide the Services in a manner that meets or exceeds one or more Service Levels, Provider will (A) promptly perform a root-cause analysis as specified in the Service Level Exhibits, (B) identify the problems causing the failure, (C) report to Customer on the nature and scope of the problems identified, (D) correct the problems as soon as practicable, (E) resume meeting the Service Levels, (F) advise Customer of the progress of correction efforts at stages determined by Customer, and (G) demonstrate to Customer that all reasonable action has been taken to prevent a recurrence of the

Service Level default. The failure to complete (A)-(G) above for Critical Performance Indicators will be considered a material breach of the Agreement.

7.4 Performance Credits . If Provider fails to provide the Services under a Statement of Work in accordance with any of one or more Critical Performance Indicators for that Statement of Work, without limiting Customer’s other remedies, Provider will incur the Performance Credits identified in the Service Level Exhibits. Performance Credits under each Statement of Work will be allocated and calculated in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Service Level Exhibits of that Statement of Work.

7.5 Deliverable Credits . Deliverables and Deliverable Credits, if applicable, are separately defined in and for each Statement of Work and, in the case of Projects, in and for each Project Document. A Deliverable Credit will be credited to Customer on the invoice that contains Fees for the month during which the right to such Deliverable Credit arose or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Issuance of a Deliverable Credit does not limit Customer’s other remedies for Provider’s delay or failure in providing a Deliverable.

Provider is responsible for ensuring that it remains informed of the Restricted Parties Lists and that at the time of hire no Provider Agents or Provider Staff are on any of these lists. Provider is also responsible for reviewing updates to the Restricted Parties Lists. In the event that Provider or Customer becomes aware of any Provider Agents or Provider Staff being included on any Restricted Parties List, Provider will promptly remove such Provider Agents or Provider Staff from any involvement in or in support of the Services and will report to Customer that it has done so.

9.6 Provider Agents .

(A) Except as provided in (B) below, Provider may not delegate or subcontract any of the Services or any of Provider’s obligations under the Agreement, in whole or in part, without obtaining Customer’s prior written consent.

Agent, and the scope of the Services proposed to be subcontracted. In any event, Provider must require its Provider Agents to meet, exceed, and/or comply with any applicable terms of the Agreement.

(B) Provider may, in the ordinary course of business and without Customer’s prior written consent, enter into subcontracts (i) with the Provider Affiliates listed on Schedule 11 (Provider Affiliates); (ii) with subcontractors that it uses in a Shared Service Delivery Environment where such services or products do not represent material components of the Services and do not involve any direct contact with Customer Personnel or access to or other Processing of Confidential Information, including any Personally Identifiable Information, of any member of Customer Group; or (iii) for third-party services or products that represent non-material tasks that do not involve any direct contact with Customer Personnel or access to or other Processing of Confidential Information, including any Personally Identifiable Information, of any member of Customer Group.

(C) No subcontracting will release Provider from its responsibility for its obligations under the Agreement. Provider is responsible for the work and activities of each of Provider Agents and members of Provider Staff employed by Provider Agents. Provider will be liable for any breach of, or act or omission under, this Agreement by any Provider Agent or member of Provider Staff employed by a Provider Agent. Provider is responsible for all payments to Provider Agents. Provider will promptly pay for all services, materials, equipment and labor used by Provider in providing the Services, and Provider will promptly cause any Provider Agent to remove all claims against Customer or lien on Customer Resources.

(D) Customer may require Provider to remove from providing Services to Customer or to replace any Provider Agent who is deemed unacceptable by Customer for performance or any other reasonable reason, including potential harm to reputation or violation of Law. Except in the case of a violation of Law or unauthorized Processing of Personally Identifiable Information, Provider will have a reasonable opportunity to investigate Customer’s concerns but no more than [***] Business Days after the Customer request, correct the Provider Agent’s deficient performance and provide Customer with a written action plan to assure that such deficient performance will not recur. If Customer is not reasonably satisfied with Provider’s efforts, Provider will remove and replace such Provider Agent as soon as possible.

9.7 Services to Customer Competitors . No dedicated Provider Staff or Key Personnel will provide services to any Customer Competitor at a time when they have access to Customer’s Confidential Information and for one (1) month before or one (1) year after they have such access. Provider will take such steps that are reasonable and necessary to prevent Customer’s Confidential Information from being disclosed to any Provider Staff performing services on behalf of any Customer Competitor.

9.8 Qualifications and Training of Provider Staff . Provider will assign a clearly adequate number of Provider Staff to perform the Services and will account for turnover (voluntary and involuntary). Provider Staff will be properly educated, trained, and fully qualified for the Services they are to perform. Provider will not charge Customer for the costs of training such Provider Staff, including for the time necessary for such Provider Staff to become familiar with providing Services to Customer or with Customer or with Customer’s business. This training will include at least any required continued education and ongoing training related to data protection, risk control, regulatory requirements, and other relevant education.

9.9 Personnel Turnover Rate . Provider will take steps to keep the turnover (voluntary and involuntary) rate of Provider Staff at a level that (A) ensures continued performance of the Services in compliance with the Agreement and (B) is comparable to or better than the industry average for well-managed service providers in the applicable country performing services similar to the Services. Provider will provide to Customer a semi-annual turnover (voluntary and involuntary) report of Provider Staff, and the Parties will work together to reduce the turnover (voluntary and involuntary) rate. Provider will ensure that all replacement personnel receive sufficient information and training, without additional charge to Customer, to assure continuity of Services without adverse impact. For avoidance of doubt, the turnover (voluntary and involuntary) rate of Provider Staff is not an acceptable justification for Provider not meeting or exceeding a Service Level. Provider is responsible for managing turnover (voluntary and involuntary) to meet or exceed established Service Levels.

ARTICLE 10. CONTINUED PROVISION OF SERVICES .

10.1 Disaster Recovery Plan . Provider will maintain adequate disaster recovery and business continuity plans in respect of each Service Location from which the Services are provided or supported that, at a minimum, meet the requirements of Schedule 12 (Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Requirements) (each, a “ Provider DR Plan ”). Provider will update and test the Provider DR Plans at least annually (or such other frequency specified in Schedule 12 ) and certify in writing the results of such testing to Customer. Provider also will comply with such other requirements specified in Schedule 12 (Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Requirements). Upon a disaster, Provider will promptly undertake all applicable actions and precautions under the Provider DR Plan or Customer DR Plan (as defined in Schedule 12 (Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Requirements)), as applicable, and diligently pursue them as necessary to avoid or, if unavoidable, minimize any interruption of Services, and will provide for the recovery and reconstitution of the affected System to a known state after a disruption, compromise, or failure within defined time periods consistent with recovery time and recovery point objectives. If the Services are not reinstated within the defined recovery time periods set out in Schedule 12 (Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Requirements), Provider will work to reinstate Services within a reasonable time as agreed upon with Customer.

10.2 Force Majeure . If and to the extent that a Party’s performance is prevented or delayed by fire, flood, riot, war, pandemic, acts of God, or other events beyond such Party’s reasonable control (other than failure to perform by, or acts or omissions of, Provider Agents in connection with their responsibilities under the Agreement) and without the fault or negligence of the Party affected (a “ Force Majeure Event ”), then the affected performance will be excused for so long as (A) the Force Majeure Event continues to prevent or delay performance and (B) the Party continues efforts to recommence performance to the extent possible without delay or disruption to Services, including through the use of alternate sources and workaround plans. The affected Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing, describing the Force Majeure Event in reasonable detail. Force Majeure Events do not excuse any disaster recovery and business continuity obligations under Section 10.1 (Disaster Recovery Plan). Other than a Force Majeure Event subject to the parameters of this Section 10.2 (Force Majeure), neither Party will assert any excuse or defense to a breach of contract claim under the doctrine of “impossibility,” “impracticability” or “frustration of purpose,” or other similar legal argument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Force Majeure Event” expressly excludes: (A) any event that Provider reasonably could have prevented by any testing either required to be performed pursuant to the Services or

Confidential

MA-IB-00136-2018

necessary to provide the Services; (B) any Provider Staff strike, walkout or other labor shortage; (C) any non-performance of a Provider Agent, regardless of cause (unless due to a Force Majeure Event); in the case of a Cyber Attack that would otherwise be deemed a Force Majeure Event, any event that could have been prevented through Provider’s compliance with the Agreement or Customer Policies; and/or (D) any event which could have been prevented by reasonable precautions and can reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing Party through the use of alternate sources, work-around plans, or other means.

10.3 Alternate Source . If any Force Majeure Event or disaster delays performance of Services necessary for the performance of functions Customer reasonably identifies as critical for more than [***] days, Customer may procure such Services from an alternate source, and Provider will reimburse Customer for reasonable amounts paid to the alternate source to the extent exceeding the Fees for such Services for up to a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days or until Provider is able to resume performance of the affected Services. If the Force Majeure Event or disaster delays performance of such critical Services for more than twenty (20) additional days, Customer may terminate this Agreement, the applicable Statement of Work, or the affected Services as of the date specified by Customer in a termination notice to Provider subject to payment of any Termination Charge Amounts set forth in the applicable Statement of Work.

10.4 No Payment for Unperformed Services . Customer is not required to pay for those Services that are not performed because of excused performance in a Force Majeure Event or under Section 3.20 (Excuse from Performance).

10.5 Allocation of Resources . Whenever a Force Majeure Event or a disaster causes Provider to allocate limited resources among Provider’s customers, Provider will not give other customers priority over Customer or redeploy or reassign any Key Personnel (except as permitted under the Agreement) to another Provider customer.

10.6 Service Improvement Plan and Step-In . In the event (A) Provider is failing to deliver all or a material part of the Services in material conformance with the terms of the Agreement or (B) if Customer has a good faith basis for dissatisfaction with any portion of the Services that Customer reasonably identifies as critical, within fourteen (14) calendar days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably required in Customer’s notice to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement) after receipt of Customer’s written notice of such failure or dissatisfaction Provider will: (1) commence a root cause analysis as to the cause of such failure or dissatisfaction; (2) upon completion of a root cause analysis, develop a service improvement plan to address and remedy the failure and/or improve the level of satisfaction (“ SIP ”); (3) present such plan to Customer for its review, comment and approval; and (4) take action in accordance with the approved SIP. Customer and Provider will establish a schedule for completion of a root cause analysis and the preparation and approval of the SIP, which will be reasonable and consistent with the severity and materiality of the problem. Provider’s SIP developed hereunder will specify the specific measures to be taken by Provider and the dates by which each such action will be completed. Provider will perform its obligations under the SIP.

If Provider fails to implement such SIP and/or upon the occurrence of any Step-In Event, then Customer may assign Customer Personnel or third parties to step in and perform any failing elements of the Services until such time as Provider can reasonably demonstrate the ability to resume provision of such Services or

assist Provider in remedying the matters triggering the Step-In Event for up to a maximum of [***] (“ Step-In Period ”). Provider will reasonably cooperate with any Customer, Customer Agents, Customer Group, or any other third party selected by Customer. In addition, upon the occurrence of any Step-In Event and at any time prior to the remediation, resolution, or cessation of the circumstances triggering the Step-In Event, Customer may exercise any of the following rights and take any of the following actions: (A) subject to Provider’s reasonable security and confidentiality requirements provided in advance in writing to Customer, enter and remain on any affected Service Location premises other than any Shared Service Delivery Environment; (B) take control of the Services (including the Provider Systems) other than Services and Provider Systems provided in a Shared Service Delivery Environment; and (C) give directions to and manage Provider Staff. If Customer exercises any of its rights under this Section 10.6 (Service Improvement Plan and Step-In), Provider must provide all Documentation, materials, rights, and assistance reasonably required to enable Customer (or its nominee) to exercise the step-in rights under this Section 10.6 (Service Improvement Plan and Step-In). During the Step-In Period, Customer will have no liability for or obligation to pay Provider for those Services and Provider will be relieved from its obligation to meet Service Levels for Services if and to the extent Customer has exercised its step-in rights under this Section and Provider is not performing such Services, for the Step-In Period. From and after completion of the Step-In Period, Provider will resume performing those Services in accordance with the Agreement (including Service Levels) and Customer will be obligated to pay for such Services in accordance with the Agreement. Customer’s exercise of its rights under this Section will not constitute a waiver by Customer of any termination rights or rights to pursue a claim for damages arising out of the failure that led to such rights being exercised.

ARTICLE 11. CUSTOMER OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES .

11.1 Customer Resources . As needed for Provider to provide Transition Services and/or Transformation Services and/or the Services set forth in each Statement of Work, Customer will make available to Provider the Customer Resources in accordance with the following provisions:

(A) Provider will use the Customer Resources for the sole and exclusive purpose of providing the Transition Services and/or the Transformation Services under that Statement of Work to Customer and for the sole benefit of Customer and/or Customer Group;

(B) use by Provider of the Customer Resources does not constitute a leasehold interest in favor of Provider or any Provider Agents;

(E) Provider will not make any improvements or changes involving structural, mechanical, or electrical alterations to any Customer Resources without Customer’s prior written approval; and

(F) when a Customer Resource is no longer required to provide Transition Services and/or Transformation Services and/or Services, Provider will return such resource to Customer in substantially the same condition as when Provider began using such resource, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

11.2 Customer Operational Responsibilities . Customer will perform those operational responsibilities set forth in Section 11.1 (Customer Resources) for each Transition Plan and/or Transformation Plan and for each Statement of Work with respect to the applicable Services (collectively, the “ Customer Operational Responsibilities ”).

ARTICLE 12. FEES AND PAYMENT .

12.1 General . In consideration of the Services under each Statement of Work, Customer will pay Provider the Fees set forth in a schedule of payments and payment-related terms attached to that Statement of Work (“ Fee Exhibit ”). Except as expressly set forth in the Fee Exhibits, (A) no amounts are payable under the Agreement and (B) there will be no adjustments to the Fees unless agreed to in writing by an Authorized Representative of Customer. Provider will invoice the Fees under each Statement of Work as set forth in the Fee Exhibit, including such format as set forth in the applicable SOW and such detail as reasonably requested by Customer. Customer is not liable to pay any Fees not invoiced within [***] days after Provider was first entitled to invoice Customer for such Fees. Any and all undisputed Fees, the time for payment of which is not otherwise specified in the applicable Fee Exhibit, are due and payable [***] days after receipt of invoice from Provider that has been approved in accordance with Schedule 5 (Governance). Any unused credits against future payments (including Performance Credits and Deliverable Credits) owed to either Party by the other pursuant to a Statement of Work will be paid to the applicable Party within [***] days after the expiration or termination of the applicable Statement of Work. Schedule 17 (Extended Payment Plan) will apply with respect to invoicing and payment of Fees for Services subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

12.2 Expenses . All costs of providing the Services are included in the Fees and will not be reimbursed by Customer. When an SOW expressly permits reimbursement of Provider’s expenses, the type of expenses that Customer will reimburse must be expressly identified in such SOW and, to be reimbursed, such expenses must be (A) for pass-through expenses, at Provider’s actual cost incurred without mark-up of any kind; (B) reasonable and customary; (C) approved in writing in advance by Customer prior to Provider incurring such expense, unless otherwise provided in the SOW; and (D) any such charges will be accompanied by legible copies of receipts or other back-up documentation sufficient enough for Customer to validate any such charges.

12.3 Disputed Fees and Right to Offset . Subject to the Disputed Payments Cap, Customer may withhold payment of any portion of an invoice that it disputes in good faith and will provide Provider with a written explanation in a form acceptable to Customer of the basis for any disputed amounts it has withheld. Customer’s failure to dispute or withhold a payment will not operate as a waiver of the right to dispute and recover such amount. Customer may deduct from the Fees owed by Customer to Provider any amount that should be reimbursed to Customer or is otherwise payable to Customer pursuant to this MSA or any Statement of Work, including but not limited to Deliverable Credits and Performance Credits.

Confidential

MA-IB-00136-2018

Confidential Treatment Requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.

In the event of a payment dispute, the Parties will immediately investigate and attempt to resolve the dispute pursuant to Schedule 5 (Governance) hereof. Upon resolution of the dispute, Customer will promptly pay to Provider any disputed amounts due to Provider, and Provider will promptly pay Customer any disputed amounts due to Customer, based upon the agreement reached by the Parties during the dispute resolution process. In the event such withheld amounts would, in the aggregate, exceed the equivalent of [***] months of the Fees payable under the applicable Statement of Work (including under all related Local Services Agreements) (“ Disputed Payments Cap ”), Customer will pay to Provider, under protest and without waiver of any rights regarding the underlying dispute, all disputed amounts in excess of the Disputed Payment Cap as and when due.

12.4 Transition Fees . Neither Customer nor any member of Customer Group will incur any charges, fees, or expenses payable to Provider or Provider Agents in connection with the Transition Services, other than those Fees specified in the applicable Fee Exhibit. In addition, to the extent Provider or Provider Agents knows of charges, fees, or expenses payable to third parties in connection with the Transition Services (other than those to be incurred by Customer in connection with its performance of tasks designated in the Transition Plan as Customer’s responsibility), such third-party charges, fees, and expenses will be generally described in the applicable Fee Exhibit. Within [***] calendar days after the SOW Effective Date, Provider will advise Customer in writing of those third-party vendors who, based on Provider’s prior knowledge from working with its other customers, typically charge their customers for required consents.

12.5 Extraordinary Events . Any significant change in Customer’s business, such as merger, acquisitions, divestitures, general business downturn, or other business event that increases or decreases or is expected to increase or decrease the utilization of the Services under any Statement of Work by more than [***] percent ([***]%), and such change persists or is expected to continue for [***] or more months, will be deemed an “ Extraordinary Event .” Upon such Extraordinary Event, Customer may elect to have the Fees equitably adjusted by providing notice to Provider (“ Extraordinary Event Notice ”). Such equitable adjustments will be based on Provider’s [***] and related [***] that either (A) can be eliminated by Provider in the event of an extraordinary reduction or (B) will be unavoidably incurred by Provider in the event of an extraordinary increase in such utilization. If the Parties cannot agree on an equitable adjustment to the Fees within [***] ([***]) days after Provider’s receipt of the Extraordinary Event Notice, Customer has the right to terminate the applicable Statement of Work, in whole or in part, by written notice to Provider effective as of the date specified in such notice, in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.1 (Termination for Convenience).

12.6 Benchmarking Arrangement . Provider agrees to an arrangement with Customer to provide assurance to Customer that the Fees Customer pays for Services provide continuing excellent value. This arrangement includes the following terms:

(A) At any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date but no more than once every 24 months during the Term, Customer may request the services of a benchmark service provider (“ Benchmarking Consultant ”) to evaluate the cost of the Services under any Statement of Work (“ Benchmarked Services ”) compared to other providers in the outsourcing industry (“ Benchmarking ”).

Confidential

Confidential Treatment Requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.

(B) The Benchmarking Consultant will be independent of the Parties, subject to a tripartite confidentiality agreement with protections no less protective to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, and will be qualified to do the Benchmarking. The Parties will identify a group of pre-approved Benchmarking Consultants. At the time that Customer requests Benchmarking, the Parties will work together to mutually agree upon a specific Benchmarking Consultant for the Benchmarking. If the Parties do not agree upon a specific Benchmarking Consultant within fifteen (15) Business Days of Customer’s request, Customer has the right to unilaterally select the Benchmarking Consultant from the pre-approved group.

(C) Provider will cooperate fully with the Benchmarking Consultant and provide all information relating to the provision of the Services to Customer that the Benchmarking Consultant requests. Benchmarking Consultant will compare the Fees against a Representative Sample of a sufficient number of Comparators, and will use normalization to ensure appropriate adjustments are made to all data to account for any differences between the Services and the Comparators so that a true “like-for-like” comparison is done.

(D) Only Customer may exercise the right to conduct a Benchmarking. Provider has no right to conduct a Benchmarking under this Section 12.6 (Benchmarking Arrangement).

(E) To the extent that the Benchmarking reveals that the Fees under the applicable SOW for the Benchmarked Service are in the aggregate higher than the average of the Representative Sample (“ Benchmark Level ”) but are within [***] percent ([***]%) of the Benchmark Level (“ Accuracy Dead Band ”), then there will be no adjustment to such Fees. If the Benchmark determines that the Fees for the Benchmarked Services are in the aggregate higher than the Benchmark Level for such Benchmarked Services by more than the Accuracy Dead Band, then the applicable SOW will be amended to adjust the Fees for the Benchmarked Services in an amount equal to the percentage difference between the Fees for the Benchmarked Services and the Benchmark Level for such Benchmarked Services, less the applicable Dead Band, up to a maximum adjustment not to exceed [***] percent ([***]%) of the Fees that were in effect pursuant to the Fees Exhibit for such Services in such year (the “ Mandatory Adjustment ”).

ARTICLE 13. TAXES .

13.1 Customer Tax Responsibility . Customer is liable for any sales tax, use tax, service tax, value added tax, transfer tax, excise tax, or any other similar tax imposed by any Governmental Authority arising from the performance or furnishing by Provider of Services or Provider’s Fees to Customer. Customer is not responsible for any tariffs, customs duties, and import fees based on Provider’s import or export of Provider Equipment, if any, as part of the Services, which will remain the responsibility of Provider. Such taxes will be invoiced by Provider to Customer unless Customer provides a valid resale certificate or other Documentation required under applicable Law to evidence tax exemption. Taxes must be invoiced on the same invoice as the product or Services that are subject to the tax. Provider invoices will separately state any Fees that are subject to taxation and separately identify the tax jurisdiction and the amount of taxes invoiced therein. Provider will assume any and all responsibility (including the payment of interest and penalty assessments levied by an applicable Governmental Authority) for failure to invoice, collect, or remit a tax.

13.2 Provider Tax Responsibility . Provider is responsible for any sales tax, use tax, service tax, value added tax, transfer tax, excise tax, tariffs, duties, import fees, and any and all other similar tax imposed on Provider with respect to any labor, equipment, materials, goods, or services acquired, used, or consumed by Provider in providing the Services to Customer. Should Customer be required under applicable Law to withhold taxes on any payments to Provider or Provider Agents, Customer will be entitled to deduct any such withholdings from payments due to Provider.

13.3 Excluded Tax Responsibilities . Neither Party is responsible for any franchise, privilege, income, gross receipts, or business activity taxes based on the other Party’s gross or net income, net worth, or business activities. Neither Party is responsible for any real or personal property taxes assessed on tangible or intangible property owned or leased by the other Party.

13.4 Tax Cooperation . Customer and Provider will cooperate to segregate the Fees into the following separate payment streams: (A) those for taxable Services; (B) those for nontaxable Services; (C) those for which a sales, use or other similar tax has already been paid; and (D) those for which Provider functions merely as a paying agent for Customer in receiving goods, supplies or services (including leasing and licensing arrangements) that otherwise are nontaxable or have previously been subject to tax. Provider will assist Customer to provide any Documentation necessary to prevent withholding, if applicable (see, e.g. , Section 13.2 (Provider Tax Responsibility)). In addition, each Party will cooperate as reasonably requested by the other Party to more accurately determine the requesting Party’s tax liability and to minimize such liability, to the extent legally permissible. Each Party will provide and make available to the other Party any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state sales or use of equipment, materials, or services, and any other exemption certificates or information requested by the other Party.

If Provider discovers or is notified of any risk deficiency in such Internal Controls, including control breakdowns or gaps, or potential risk deficiency in such Internal Controls, that if not corrected would create a new risk that could impact the delivery of Services or create a controls risk for Customer, then Provider will immediately notify Customer and remediate such risk or potential risk at its sole cost and expense. Provider will provide a regular, written status reports to Customer on its progress on any remediation efforts until such time as the remediation has been completed and/or tested by Customer and/or its auditors and Customer and/or its auditors have validated the remediation of such control gaps or other identified risks or potential risks. Provider acknowledges and agrees that additional or modified control and compliance requirements may be required by Customer following the Effective Date and to the extent such requirements require Changes to the Services or this Agreement, the Change Control Procedures will apply. Customer will not pay or reimburse Provider for any costs or expenses incurred by Provider in connection with its performance pursuant to this Section.

Provider will reimburse Customer for the reasonable costs and expenses actually charged to Customer by its external auditors or risk management consultants in connection with preparation of (i) each Provider Remediation Plan, and (ii) that portion of a Customer Remediation Plan that addresses and corrects risks caused by Provider’s unauthorized acts, Service failures or omissions, and validating completion in accordance with such Remediation Plan pursuant to Section 17.14(E) below.

(E) Within [***] Business Days after the development of a Remediation Plan, and no later than [***] thereafter, Provider will provide a written status report to Customer on its progress on remediation efforts required pursuant to each such Remediation Plan until such time as the remediation required by such Remediation Plan has been completed and/or tested by Customer and/or its auditors or risk management consultants and Customer and/or its auditors have validated the remediation of such control gaps or other identified risks or potential risks.

7.	EXIT TRANSFER CONTRACTS: NOVATION, ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER


7.1	Where:


(A)	Provider is entitled to transfer, or (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) assign both the benefit and the burden of, an Exit Transfer Contract to Customer or a New Provider nominated by Customer in relation to that Exit Transfer Contract without breach of that Exit Transfer Contract; and

Schedule 4
13

Confidential treatment requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.

(A)	Novation

Each other party to the Exit Transfer Contract agrees to the termination of all of Provider’s rights and obligations (other than accrued rights to make any claim for damages or accrued rights under any indemnity) under the Exit Transfer Contract and the simultaneous assumption by Customer (or a New Provider nominated by Customer in relation to the Exit Transfer Contract) of identical rights and obligations, and if this agreement is obtained the parties will ensure that the termination and assumption promptly takes place.


(B)	Assignment

To the extent permitted under applicable Law, each other party to the Exit Transfer Contract consents to the assignment of all of Provider’s rights (other than accrued rights) and obligations under the Exit Transfer Contract to Customer (or a New Provider nominated in relation to the Exit Transfer Contract), and if this consent is obtained Provider will promptly make the assignment.


(C)	Transfer

Each other party to the Exit Transfer Contract consents to the transfer of that Exit Transfer Contract to Customer (or a New Provider nominated in relation to the Exit Transfer Contract) and if this consent is obtained Provider will ensure that the transfer promptly takes place.

7.3

From the Exit Service Transfer Time until (if at all) such termination and assumption or assignment takes effect, Provider will take each step reasonably requested of it by Customer or any New Provider nominated by Customer in relation to the Exit Transfer Contract to enable performance of the Exit Transfer Contract and to provide for Customer or New Provider the benefit of the Exit Transfer Contract.

7.4

In relation to Exit Transfer Contracts that are not Transfer Contracts, Provider must use its reasonable efforts to ensure that it obtains the right to transfer such Exit Transfer Contracts to Customer under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 at no additional cost to Customer. Where Customer would incur any costs in relation to the transfer of the Exit Transfer Contracts that are not Transfer Contracts, Provider must notify Customer of such costs and the Parties will, at the election of Customer, discuss in good faith alternative solutions and Customer may elect not to take transfer of such Exit Transfer Contracts.

7.5

To the extent that a contract would fall within the definition of Available Contracts but for the fact that it is not used wholly or mainly in the provision of the Removed Services (but such contract is nevertheless used solely in relation to the Services), the Parties will, at the election of Customer, use reasonable efforts to come to arrangement by which the portion of the contract relating to the Removed Services is novated, assigned or transferred to Customer or Customer obtains rights to use in respect of such contract to the extent required in relation to the Removed Services.


8.	SOFTWARE LICENSING AND ASSISTANCE

11.	REMOVED SERVICES EMPLOYEES

11.1

The Parties agree between them that, unless agreed otherwise in writing, the expiration or termination (in whole or in part) of, or an insourcing or resourcing in respect of, the Agreement is not deemed to constitute a transfer of employment of the Removed Services Employees from Provider to Customer and/or one or more New Provider(s) (as the case may be), unless and to the extent that, in a Transfer Jurisdiction it is determined or established otherwise in accordance with the Transfer Legislation if there is a dispute between the Parties and finally, in court).

11.2	For clarity, for future cases, the Parties may agree that Customer or the New Provider will offer employment to Removed Services Employees who are located in a Non-Transfer Jurisdiction.

In Non-Transfer Jurisdictions, Provider will after the termination of the Agreement or parts thereof (other than for Force Majeure) or expiration of the Agreement, or an insourcing or resourcing in respect of the Agreement, as per the Exit Service Transfer Time, assume full responsibility for Removed Services Employees in those Non-Transfer Jurisdictions and Customer has no obligation to extend an offer of employment to any Removed Services Employees in such Non-Transfer Jurisdictions.

11.4

Customer and/or New Provider(s) cannot to the detriment of the Removed Services Employees deviate from the principle set forth in Section 11.1 that Customer and/or New Provider(s) will provide terms and conditions of employment, which are comparable to and no less favorable. Customer and/or New Provider(s) is allowed to pay cash compensation or to grant other alternative benefits to the Removed Services Employees to minimize differences between the terms and conditions of Customer and/or New Provider(s) and Provider to the extent (A) such is permitted by applicable Law and (B) any local statutory or contractual obligation to consult or inform the relevant local works councils, trade unions and other relevant employee representative bodies on such deviation has been fulfilled.


11.5	In the event that Customer terminates the Agreement (in whole or in part) due to a Force Majeure Event in accordance with Section 10.2 (Force Majeure) of the MSA, Sections 11.1 through 11.4 above will not apply and instead the Parties agree between them that:


(A)	to the extent the Services are terminated in Provider Service Locations affected by the Force Majeure Event, Provider will bear all costs of employment, redeployment and termination of employment resulting from such termination; and

(B)

to the extent the Services are terminated in locations that have not been affected by the Force Majeure Event the following will apply (1) in respect of Transfer Jurisdictions: if the termination (in whole or in part) is deemed to constitute a transfer of employment of the Removed Services Employees from Provider to Customer by operation of the Transfer Legislation then Section 11.1 will apply accordingly; and (2) in respect of Non-Transfer Jurisdictions and Transfer Jurisdictions where the termination (in whole or in part) is not deemed to constitute a transfer of employment of the Removed Services Employees from Provider to Customer by operation of the Transfer Legislation, then Section 11.2 will apply accordingly and Customer has a right to offer employment to the Removed Services Employees as per the Exit Service Transfer Time on discretionary terms and conditions of employment.

(A)	Strategic Level


(1)	Executive Review Board


(B)	Operating Level


(1)	Performance Review Board


(2)	Transformation Review Board

The Parties acknowledge and agree that meetings within and among the various Governance Bodies will be part of the normal operations of each Party in relation to the Services and are necessary to provide the most effective level of direction and support for Provider’s provision of, and Customer’s receipt of, the Services. The Parties may add or remove a Governance Body or change the Governance Structure, in each case, upon mutual written agreement. Meetings of the Governance Bodies may be held either in person or telephonically. As a general rule, meetings will be held in person, with telephone meetings being the exception and only as agreed to by the Parties. The meeting structures (activities, schedules, inputs, outputs), specific names of meeting attendees, meeting dates and meeting times will be more specifically specified in the applicable Procedure Guide. Provider will ensure that such content is updated and amended (with Customer’s prior written approval) so that the Procedure Guide is kept current during the Term. Provider additionally will procure that its representatives on the Governance Bodies attend Customer internal governance meetings and meetings with Customer Agents at the prior written request of Customer.

If a Party’s representative on any of the Governance Bodies, through resignation, illness, death or misconduct, ceases to be a member of that Governance Body, that Party will, within thirty (30) days, propose to the other Party a replacement of equivalent standing for such other Party’s approval. The other Party’s consent to such proposal may not unreasonably be withheld or delayed. Provider will be, at its sole cost and expense, responsible for any knowledge transfer as may be necessary in order to affect the smooth transition onto the Project of any such replacement representative.

Each Party will appoint suitably senior persons to each Governance Body who are empowered to commit their organizations within the terms of the relevant Governance Body.

SCHEDULE 6

CHANGE CONTROL PROCEDURES

This is Schedule 6 (Change Control Procedures) (this “ Schedule ”) to the MSA by and between Juniper Networks, Inc. and International Business Machines Corporation. Unless otherwise expressly defined in this Schedule, the capitalized terms used in this Schedule have the meaning assigned to them in the MSA.

1. INTRODUCTION


1.1	This Schedule describes the Change Control Procedures to be followed by Customer and Provider when either Party wishes to make a Change. The Parties may, by joint agreement, amend or waive any part of the Change Control Procedures in accordance with the Agreement, including where the Parties agree that shorter or longer time frames are more appropriate.


1.2	Objectives . The objectives of the Change Control Procedures are as follows:


(A)	to review each request for a Change (a “ Change Request ”) to determine whether such Change is appropriate;


(B)	to determine whether a Change is within the scope of the Services or constitutes a New Service or is considered to be a change to the in-scope Services without constituting a change in the scope;


(C)	to prepare a more detailed proposal to implement a Change Request (such proposal, a “ Change Proposal ”);


(D)	to prioritize all Change Requests and Change Proposals;


(E)	to minimize the risk of exceeding both time and cost estimates, if any, associated with the requested Change by identifying, documenting, quantifying, controlling, managing and communicating: (a) Change Requests, (b) the preparation of Change Proposals, and (c) their disposition;


(F)	to identify the different roles, responsibilities and actions that will be assumed and taken by the Parties to define and implement the Changes; and


(G)	to document a Change whether or not such Change results in any additions or reductions in Fees, scope or time.


1.3	Each Party will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by its personnel, agents and subcontractors (in Provider’s case, Provider Agents and Provider Staff) with respect to its participation in, and responsibilities and obligations under, the Change Control Procedures.

2. CHANGE REQUESTS


2.1	Either Provider or Customer may initiate a Change Request by delivering to the other Party’s Authorized Representative or his/her nominated representative a document (a “ Change Request Form ”) that describes the Change and the reasons for it. Such Change Request Form will be the same or similar to that in Exhibit

MA-IB-00136-2018

Schedule 6

Confidential treatment requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.

A (Change Request Form). Provider will assign a unique number to any and all such requests and will register the Change Request in the Change Request Log as described in Section 3 (Change Request Log) below. Each Change Proposal that may be prepared for a Change Request will be tracked by reference to the Change Request to which it relates.

2.2

Each Party’s respective Authorized Representative or his/her nominated representative will be responsible for reviewing and considering any Change Request, and will approve it for further investigation, if deemed necessary. If the Parties agree that the Change Request requires further investigation, the Authorized Representatives will authorize such investigation, which will be performed as required by Provider and/or Customer. In accordance with Section 3 (Change Request Log) below, the Provider’s Authorized Representative or a designated representative (with review and concurrence from the Customer’s Authorized Representative) will be responsible for keeping up to date the status of each Change Request in the Change Request Log as the status of the Change Request changes through the Change Control Procedures.


2.3	Preliminary Change Report .

(A)

Preliminary Change Report Preparation . For each Change Request that the Parties have approved for further investigation, regardless of which Party has proposed the Change, Provider will prepare and submit to Customer within [***] calendar days (or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, e-mail to suffice), with Customer’s reasonable cooperation and provision of any information reasonably requested by Provider, a preliminary written report. Such preliminary report will contain:


(1)	the costs associated with the Change;


(2)	the timeframe for implementing the Change (including any timing constraints);


(3)	the preliminary technical rationale for making the Change, as well as any changes or additions to policies, standards and procedures of Provider and/or Customer as the case may be, in accordance with which the Change is to be implemented;


(4)	the resources (including without limitation human resources, hardware, software and other Equipment) and associated Fees, if any, required for implementing the Change; and


(5)	an initial analysis of the potential risks (if any) to Customer or Provider if the Change is not implemented.

Provider will bear the costs of preparing the preliminary report contained in this Section, and will provide such report as part of the Services.

(B)

Report Review . Customer and Provider will review the preliminary report and Customer will, within [***] calendar days after delivery of such preliminary report in writing, either (a) instruct Provider to prepare a comprehensive Change Proposal as set forth in Section 2.3(C) (Comprehensive Change Proposals) below, (b) notify Provider that it does not wish to proceed with the Change, or (c) proceed with the Change on the material terms set forth in the preliminary report and other mutually-agreed terms as necessary to reasonably complete the Change Order.

MA-IB-00136-2018

Schedule 6

Confidential treatment requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.


(C)	Comprehensive Change Proposals .

(1)	scope of the Services;


(2)	the Service Levels;

(3)

whether the Change will be an increase in Project cost, a decrease in Project cost, or cost neutral to Customer, including any Fees for the Change ( e.g. , fixed price or time and materials, including an estimate of total costs) as well as changes to the Fees, if any; provided, however , if a Change Proposal covers multiple customers, Provider will offer to perform the Change Proposal for Customer at a cost which takes into account Customer’s proportional share of the pro-ratable costs;


(4)	the resources (including without limitation human resources, hardware, Software and other Equipment) required for implementing the Change;


(5)	timeline, milestones and delivery dates for implementing the Change;


(6)	evaluation testing, development, Acceptance Testing, Acceptance Testing period, and acceptance criteria (which must be included in the final Change Order);


(7)	DR Plan and/or changes to the applicable DR plan;


(8)	impacts to, additions or deletions of, Third-Party Contracts;


(9)	any impacts on Customer Equipment, Customer Software, Customer Property, Provider Equipment, Provider Software, Provider Property, or any member of Customer Group’s, Customer Agents’ (in the case of Customer), Provider’s or Provider Agents’ business operations, personnel requirements or other services;


(10)	any related technical or human resource Systems/procedures;


(11)	any legal and regulatory compliance issues;


(12)	any other matter reasonably requested by Customer at the time of preparation of the impact analysis or reasonably considered by Provider to be relevant;


(13)	the Transition Plan and/or changes to the applicable Transition Plan;


(14)	any additional terms and conditions applicable to the Change;

MA-IB-00136-2018

Schedule 6

Confidential treatment requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.


(15)	where the Change relates to New Services to be provided, how the business objectives of Customer and Provider will be achieved in the provision of those Services;


(16)	any additional contractual terms and conditions which would apply to the Change, any changes to the contractual terms and conditions of the Agreement, together with details of the effect (if any) those terms and conditions will have on the Agreement; and


(17)	an analysis of the potential risks (if any) to Customer or Provider if the Change Proposal is not implemented.

Provider will bear the costs of preparing the comprehensive Change Proposal as set forth in this Section 2.3(C) (Comprehensive Change Proposals), and will provide such comprehensive Change Proposal as part of the Services.


(D)	Change Proposal Review .


(1)	Once submitted by Provider, Customer will review the Change Proposal and as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event not more than [***] calendar days (or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, e-mail to suffice) after receipt of the Change Proposal, either:


(a)	Customer may notify Provider that it does not wish to proceed with the Change, in which case no further action will be taken in respect of the Change Proposal; or


(b)	Customer may request that it and Provider meet to discuss the Change Proposal (such meeting to be referred to as the “ Change Proposal Meeting ”).


(2)	At the Change Proposal Meeting, the Parties will use reasonable efforts to agree to:


(a)	take no further action in respect of the proposed Change, in which case no further action will be taken in respect of the Change Proposal and it will be deemed to be “rejected” on the action log;


(b)	acquire further information before deciding whether to proceed with the Change;


(c)	amend some or all of the contents of the Change Proposal, which Provider will incorporate into a revised version of the Change Proposal; or


(d)	proceed with the Change as detailed in the Change Proposal, in which case the Change Proposal will be signed and the Change incorporated in accordance with Section 2.4 (Effectiveness of a Change) below.

MA-IB-00136-2018

Schedule 6

Confidential treatment requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.

(3)

If the Parties agree to proceed in accordance with one of the options detailed in Section 2.3(D)(2) above, then the Parties will gather any necessary information and/or Provider will prepare a revised version of the relevant Change Proposal, upon which the Parties will decide whether to proceed in accordance with Section 2.3(D)(2) above. The Parties will continue to go through the process detailed above until such time as a final resolution is made by the Parties. The Parties will act in good faith at all times during such process.

(4)

The Parties anticipate that not all Changes will result in increases in the Fees. Nevertheless, the Parties intend that all Changes will be documented under this this Schedule 6 (Change Control Procedures). Additional Fees for Changes will apply in general when Provider reasonably demonstrates that the implementation or adoption of the Change requires Provider to supply additional resources or perform Services that are not otherwise covered by the existing Fees.

(5)

Notwithstanding anything else, (a) all Changes that do not materially increase the cost of Provider for performing the Services; (b) all Changes to Services for which Provider can mitigate the impact of the Change by re-ordering, re-using or otherwise re-prioritizing or mitigating the impact without incurring material additional cost, (c) all Changes caused by a failure of Provider to perform any of its obligations under the Agreement, and (c) all other Operational Changes initiated (i) by Provider or (ii) by Customer that do not incur a material additional cost for Provider, will be made at no cost to Customer but provided, however, that for Changes with increases in volumes of existing Services where such increased volumes would subject Customer to additional Fees pursuant to the applicable Fees Exhibit, Customer shall pay additional Fees pursuant to the applicable Fees Exhibit.


2.4	Effectiveness of a Change.

(A)

Signed Change Orders. Upon the signature of a Change Proposal by both Parties’ Authorized Representatives, the contents of such Change Proposal will be deemed to be agreed and incorporated into the Agreement on the date of the last signature or as the Parties may otherwise agree (each such accepted Change Proposal will become a “ Change Order ”). All services added or modified by a Change Order will be Services under the Agreement, and the performance of Change Orders will in all respects be governed by the Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, no part of the discussions or interchanges between the Parties will obligate the Parties to approve any Change or will constitute an amendment or waiver of the Agreement unless and until reflected in a Change Proposal and adopted in accordance with this Schedule 6 (Change Control Procedures). Neither Party will have any obligation to commence or comply with any Change, perform services that would be covered by any Change, or pay any Fees that would be covered by any Change, until such time as the Parties’ Authorized Representatives have signed the appropriate Change Order. Disputes (as defined in Schedule 4 (Governance) of the Agreement) regarding a Change will be subject to the Dispute resolution process in Schedule 4 (Governance) of the Agreement.

MA-IB-00136-2018

Schedule 6

Confidential treatment requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.


(B)	Acceptance Criteria. To the extent specified in a Change Order or the work under such Change Order is otherwise related to a Reviewable Item, Customer’s acceptance of, and payment for, work under such Change Orders will be subject to Customer’s acceptance in accordance with the acceptance process in Section 3.20 (Acceptance Testing) – Section 3.24 (No Deemed Acceptance) of the Agreement.

(C)

Failure to Agree . If the Party initiating a Change Request believes that the requested Change is required or necessary, the requesting Party will inform the other Party in writing of the reasons why the Change is required and the impact if it is not implemented or the reasons why a Change to the Fees is justified and equitable. If the other Party does not agree to implement the Change, the requesting Party will be entitled to consider the other Party’s refusal to agree to implement the Change as a Dispute, and the requesting Party may escalate such Dispute for resolution in accordance with Schedule 4 (Governance) of the Agreement.

2.5

Emergency Change Process . In the event that either Party requires a Change in order to respond to an emergency and such Change would, in the reasonable opinion of the requesting Party, if it was not implemented until Change Control Procedures had been followed, have a detrimental effect generally on Customer Group, including without limitation Customer Group’s financial interests, Customer Group’s welfare or public safety, or specifically impacting Provider‘s ability to meet its obligations pursuant to the Agreement, the requesting Party will make all reasonable efforts to contact the other Party’s Authorized Representative, and if the requesting Party is unable to contact the other Party’s Authorized Representative after reasonable efforts, the requesting Party may make temporary Changes to the Services without the prior consent of the other Party. The requesting Party will notify the other Party as soon as practicable but no later than twenty-four (24) hours after the event of such Change and will, as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than two (2) business days thereafter) document and report in writing on such Changes to the other Party. Any agreed Change as a result will be agreed in accordance with Change Control Procedures. Disputes regarding any additional Fees for Changes under this Section 2.5 are subject to the Dispute resolution process in the Agreement.

2.6

Mandatory Changes . Notwithstanding the Change consideration and implementation process outlined in this Schedule 6 (Change Control Procedures) but in all events subject to Section 2.4(C) above, if a Change requested by Customer is a Mandatory Change, Provider will immediately begin implementing the Mandatory Change upon request by Customer provided Customer agrees to pay any upfront one-time charges related to such change (for example, hardware, software or similar investments) that are approved in writing in advance by Customer. Provider will also prepare and deliver to Customer a Change Proposal related to the Mandatory Change on an expedited basis, where appropriate, and the Parties will work together in good faith to determine the impact on the Agreement (including without limitation, any impact on the Fees) as a result of implementing the Mandatory Change. If the Parties are unable to agree on the impact on the Agreement within [***] calendar days after Customer has received the Change Proposal from Provider, either Party may consider such failure to agree to be a Dispute, and may escalate such Dispute for resolution in accordance with Schedule 4 (Governance) of the Agreement. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within [***] calendar days of the escalation of such Dispute, then Provider may discontinue implementing the Mandatory Change. “ Mandatory Change ” means (A) any Change requested by Customer, that, in the reasonable judgment of Customer is required (1) to comply with any Customer Law; (2) as a result of any new Customer Policy or updated, amended or modified Customer Policy that Customer issues to comply with any Law; or (3) for

Contractor to perform services critical to Customer Group’s businesses where such services are not within the scope of the Services, but are not materially different in nature or kind from the Services; (B) any Change that is required to protect Customer Group’s welfare or public safety; or (C) without reference to (A)-(B) above, any Change otherwise described as a Mandatory Change in the Agreement.

3. Change Request Log .


3.1	Provider will provide Customer, as part of its monthly reporting obligations, a summary specifying the status of all pending Change Requests and Change Proposals.

On the Employment Effective Date, Provider will pay to each New Provider Employee the same minimum rate of base compensation (whether an hourly rate of pay or annual salary, as applicable) that such New Provider Employee was receiving from Customer as of the Employment Effective Date. In addition, variable compensation will be taken into account as follows:

(A)

Unvested Customer Equity . For the first year following the Employment Effective Date, Provider will pay each New Provider Employee any previously granted but unvested equity as such equity vests, in accordance with Customer’s current vesting schedule, subject to Customer’s reimbursement to Provider of such amounts paid to each such New Provider Employee, in accordance with the invoicing and payment terms set forth in Section 12.1 (General) of the MSA.

For purposes of calculating the average annual value, the value of the vested equity will be determined using the price of Customer common stock as of market close on the applicable equity vesting date. For purposes of foregoing (3), for calculating the value of equity such New Provider Employee would have received at first vest, the value of the vested equity will be determined using the price of Customer common stock as of market close on the Effective Date.

(C)

Bonus . New Provider Employees will be eligible to participate in Provider’s established program designed to return a portion of revenue and pretax profit growth based on a predetermined model (“ Growth Driven Profit Sharing Plan ”) as of the Employment Effective Date to the same extent as similarly situated Provider employees. Additionally, for each New Provider Employee, Provider will include in the Benefit Equalization Adjustment described in Section 6.3(B) an amount equivalent to the difference between (1) Customer’s average annual bonus payout to the Affected Employees at the same salary grade as the New Provider Employee immediately prior to the Employment Effective Date, averaged for the calendar years 2015 through 2017, and (2) Provider’s average Growth Driven Profit Sharing Plan payout for the same period for non-executive employees in the same country as the New Provider Employee. Provider will pay each New Provider Employee any bonus amounts payable by Customer to such New Provider Employee covering the period between January 1, 2019 and April 30, 2019 as Customer notifies to Provider in writing, subject to Customer’s reimbursement to Provider of such amounts paid to each such New Provider Employee, in accordance with the invoicing and payment terms set forth in Section 12.1 (General) of the MSA.


6.2	Compensation Increases

New Provider Employees will be considered for annual performance-based merit increases, incentive compensation awards, increases in variable compensation, increases in equity compensation, and other compensation increases to the same extent as similarly situated Provider Staff.

(B)

In the event that the aggregate premium costs for benefits described in this Section incurred by any New Provider Employee under Provider’s benefit plans are greater than such employee’s aggregate premium costs for such benefits under Customer’s benefit plans, Provider will pay a benefit equalization adjustment of such difference (a “ Benefit Equalization Adjustment ”) to supplement such New Provider Employee’s pay. This equalization benefit will cover a period of twelve (12) months from the Employment Effective Date and be paid on a schedule agreed upon by the Parties in writing no later than one (1) week prior to the Offer Date.

(C)

Benefit Equalization Adjustments will be calculated based on a mapping to each of Customer’s benefits referred to in Section 6.3(A) of this Schedule, including, in the case of health care coverage and dental coverage, Provider’s medical or dental plans by type ( e.g. , PPO, HMO). 401(k) employer match Benefit Equalization Adjustment will be based on contribution to Customer’s 401(k) plan as of January 1, 2019. Benefit Equalization Adjustments will be based on Customer’s tier level and benefits participation as of January 1, 2019, and will be calculated after actual election of benefits. Benefit Equalization Adjustments will be calculated in the aggregate based on New Provider Employee elections. If an Affected Employee goes through a Qualifying Event as defined by applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ ERISA ”) between January 1, 2019 and the Employment Effective Date, the Parties will agree to an equitable adjustment to any of the foregoing benefits as it relates to such Affected Employee.

11. INDIA

The following terms apply only to Affected Employees in India:


(A)	Provider will issue offers to Affected Employees in India for fixed-term contracts of employment of one (1) year only. At the end of this one-year period, their fixed-term contract of employment will cease/expire, and Provider will have no further liability or obligation towards such employees.

(B)

Customer will obtain resignations from Affected Employees in India after Provider issues offers of employment as set forth in Section 11(A) of this Schedule to such Affected Employees in India. In the event Customer does not obtain resignations from such Affected Employees or any such resignations are found to be ineffective under applicable Law in a final determination by a court or tribunal, Customer will indemnify Provider from and against any and all Losses relating to or resulting from third-party Claims arising out of Customer’s failure to obtain valid resignations.


(C)	Customer will make gratuity payments to all Affected Employees as prescribed under local Law, or in accordance with Customer policy. Customer agrees that such gratuity payments will also be made on a pro-rata basis to Affected Employees who have not yet completed any qualifying period of service under either local Law or Customer policy.

(D)

The Parties agree that the Affected Employees will join Provider on a “clean break” basis, and will not have any prior years of service recognized. No other liabilities or obligations that the Affected Employees were eligible for while employed with the Customer will transfer to their employment with Provider, including gratuity, superannuation, loan eligibility, leave accruals or entitlements, wages, bonuses, stocks and stock options, and any other entitlements or benefits whatsoever. Customer will settle all such benefits and entitlements directly with the Affected Employees.

(E)

The Parties will each provide additional amounts to be used as retention bonuses for New Provider Employees in India as follows. Provider’s and Customer’s respective contributions to the total funding amount from which retention bonuses will be paid to each such New Provider Employee (the “ Retention Bonus Fund ”) will each equal [***]. Each retention bonus payable to a New Provider Employee will be calculated based on fifteen (15) days’ salary per year of service at Customer (with the salary amount being determined as of the effective date of such employee’s resignation from Customer). The Parties will discuss and agree upon the timing of the notification of the retention bonus amounts to the Affected Employees in India. Provider will pay such amounts to the New Provider Employees in two equal lump sum payments on the following payment milestone dates: (1) six (6) months and (2) twelve (12) months after the Employment Effective Date of such New Provider Employees, provided the employee has not (a) voluntarily resigned from Provider or (b) been dismissed by Provider for misconduct ( e.g. , fraud, drug abuse, theft) or failure to perform duties and responsibilities prior to either payment milestone date (in which case the New Provider Employee would not be paid the applicable payment amount on such payment milestone date). In the case of any such resignation or dismissal event set forth in (a) or (b), the payment amount the New Provider Employee would have otherwise received will be deducted from the contribution amounts payable by the Parties to the Retention Bonus Fund set forth above, and the Parties’ respective contributions

MA-IB-00136-2018

will continue to be made on a [***] basis after such deduction. Customer will reimburse Provider for its [***] portion of such amounts actually paid to each such New Provider Employee on each of the six-month and twelve-month payment milestone dates, respectively, pursuant to an invoice issued by Provider after each such payment milestone date, which amounts actually paid in total by Provider will in no event exceed the Retention Bonus Fund, in accordance with the invoicing and payment terms set forth in Section 12.1 (General) of the MSA.

SCHEDULE 12

DISASTER RECOVERY AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY REQUIREMENTS

This is Schedule 12 (Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Requirements) (this “ Schedule ”), to the MSA by and between Juniper Networks, Inc. and International Business Machines Corporation. Unless otherwise expressly defined in this Schedule, the capitalized terms used in this Schedule have the meaning assigned to them in the MSA.

1. SCOPE

The scope of Provider’s obligations described under this Schedule is limited to the Customer Systems managed by Provider and/or under Provider’s control, and Provider Systems used by Provider or Provider Agents, in the performance or provision of Services as described in the Agreement.

2. MAINTAINING, UPDATING AND IMPLEMENTING PROVIDER PLANS

2.1

In addition to Provider’s performance of any and all disaster recovery and business continuity responsibilities set forth in an SOW, with effect from the Effective Date and maintained for the duration of the Term, Provider will have in place Provider DR Plans, and with respect to all Customer Systems supported by Provider, Provider will maintain the disaster recovery and business continuity plans for such Customer Systems to the extent Customer has disaster recovery and business continuity plans in place for such Customer Systems as of May 1, 2019 (“ Customer DR Plans ”) and carry out Provider’s responsibilities under such Customer DR Plans if a disaster occurs.


2.2	All Provider DR Plans will, taking into account any and all relevant principles, including those set out below, at a minimum:


(A)	include content and principles no less robust and protective of Customer than Customer’s own business continuity and disaster recovery plans for its applications and/or IT environment so as not to degrade in any manner the Services and/or Customer’s applications and/or IT environment;


(B)	define the disaster against which Provider DR Plans are required, which definition will include, at a minimum, an event that causes material harm, loss or damage to a facility, its people or operations;


(C)	detail the steps that Provider will take, both on an ongoing basis throughout the Term (in anticipation of the possibility of a disaster occurring) and on the occurrence of a disaster, so as to:


(1)	prevent any loss of, destruction to or unavailability of Provider Systems, data (including Customer Data), or Service Locations;


(2)	minimize any disruption to Provider’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement that may be caused by the onset or continuance of a disaster;

MA-IB-00136-2018

Schedule 12

Confidential treatment requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.


(3)	restore the Services and the availability of Provider Systems, data (including Customer Data), or Service Locations which have been affected by a disaster within defined Service Levels where appropriate and describe how, when and where restoration will occur as well as the persons involved in restoring the Services;


(4)	provide a detailed plan with respect to the procedures to be used in order to return the affected Service, Provider System, or other items to their original location after the effects of the disaster have diminished to a satisfactory level as agreed by both Parties; and


(5)	describe how and when Provider will test Provider DR Plans.


2.3	With respect to Customer DR Plans governing each of the Customer Systems within scope of the Agreement,


(A)	Customer confirms such Customer DR Plans will:


(1)	identify essential missions and business functions and associated contingency requirements;


(2)	provide recovery objectives, restoration priorities, and metrics;


(3)	address disaster recovery/contingency roles and responsibilities, and identify assigned individuals with contact information;


(4)	address maintaining essential missions and business functions despite a Customer System disruption, compromise, or failure;


(5)	provide for the recovery and reconstitution of the Customer System to a known state after a disruption, compromise, or failure within defined time periods consistent with recovery time and recovery point objectives; and


(6)	address eventual, full Customer System restoration without deterioration of the security and privacy controls originally planned and implemented.

(B)

If and to the extent described in a Statement of Work, Provider will conduct backups of user-level information contained in Customer Systems; conduct backups of system-level information contained in Customer Systems; conduct backups of system documentation including security-related documentation; and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of backup information at storage locations.

2.4

Provider will review, update and test Provider DR Plans at such intervals as Provider considers appropriate in its reasonable opinion (but will do so at least once annually), taking into account any changes in the way that Provider provides or proposes to provide the Services or the way that Customer receives or proposes to receive the Services, and will throughout the Term update and revise Provider DR Plans as appropriate to take into account any newly identified threats to the provision of the Services or Customer Group’s interests (including where any changes are contemplated to the manner in which Provider provides the Services or in which Provider interacts with Provider Agents, Provider Staff or Customer Agents or the way that Customer

MA-IB-00136-2018

Schedule 12

Confidential treatment requested by Juniper Networks, Inc.

receives the Services). If Customer so requests, Provider will allow Customer’s Authorized Representatives to be present at and/or participate in such testing. Such requirements are without limitation of Customer’s audit rights set forth in Sections 14.1 (Service Audits) and 17.14(B) (Inspection and Audit Rights) of the MSA.

2.5

Provider will comply with and take all steps set out in Provider DR Plans and, with regard to Customer Systems supported by Provider, subject to the following sentence, will comply with and take all steps set out as Provider’s responsibilities under Customer DR Plans as well as those disaster recovery steps set forth in an SOW, including in each case steps that are required to be taken in the absence of and on the occurrence of a disaster. Upon the occurrence of a disaster triggering the implementation of a Customer DR Plan, Provider will notify Customer in writing prior to taking such steps set out in the applicable Customer DR Plan and Provider must obtain Customer’s prior written approval of any restoration of Services pursuant to such Customer DR Plan. Provider will reinstate the Services within the defined recovery time periods, which time periods for Provider Systems at Service Locations will be equal to or less than seventy-two (72) hours (three (3) days) unless otherwise set forth in an SOW or agreed in writing by the Parties and which time periods, if any, for Customer Systems supported by Provider will be as set forth in an SOW unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.

The Customer DR Plans under this Agreement will be the most recently dated Customer DR Plans as of May 1, 2019. For any new Service Locations from which Provider will deliver Services, Provider will have an appropriate Provider DR Plan in place prior to the Effective Date relating to such Service Locations. If a Provider DR Plan relates to a location used only for providing services to Customer, the Provider DR Plans for such location (“ Dedicated Provider DR Plans ”) will also be submitted for approval.


3.2	Provider will take into account any reasonable comments made by any member of Customer Group regarding Dedicated Provider DR Plans, but the Parties acknowledge that Provider ultimately retains control of the content of its DR Plans subject to Section 3.4 hereof and Provider’s adherence to the minimum requirements set forth in this Schedule.

3.3

The obligations of Provider under this Schedule do not affect Provider’s other obligations under this Agreement (including its obligations as part of the Services), except that no obligation of Provider under this Agreement will be suspended under Section 10.2 (Force Majeure) or excused under Section 3.19 (Excuse from Performance) of the main body of this Agreement if Provider would have been able to perform that obligation had it performed its obligations under this Schedule. Notwithstanding Section 3.2 , if Provider chooses not to implement any changes to its Provider DR Plans despite comments by members of Customer Group to the effect that changes to its Provider DR Plans may be required, Provider will not be excused under Section 10.2 (Force Majeure) or under Section 3.19 (Excuse from Performance) of the main body of this Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement from any failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of the occurrence or continuation of an event or circumstances, the consequences of which would have been avoided had Provider implemented such changes.

Such Customer Permitted Entity’s obligation to pay the Undisputed EPP Fees in full and in accordance with the Extended Payment Plan shall be absolute and unconditional, notwithstanding any and all rights such Customer Permitted Entity may have to withhold, dispute, recoup or setoff against any Fees due or assert any Claim or counterclaim of any kind (including performance disputes, Claims against Provider or Provider Affiliate or any early termination rights that may be provided to such Customer Permitted Entity in the Agreement or at Law). The Extended Payment Plan terms have been established in order for Provider or Provider Affiliate to finance the Undisputed EPP Fees and, for the avoidance of doubt, neither this absolute and unconditional payment obligation nor any other term or condition of this Schedule 17 (Extended Payment Plan) will prejudice Customer Permitted Entity’s ability to separately exercise any other rights to make any Claim against Provider or Provider Affiliate in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or at Law. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Schedule 17 (Extended Payment Plan) shall prohibit a Customer Permitted Entity from requiring Provider or Provider Affiliate to apply credits issued in accordance with this Agreement on subsequent invoices resulting from Claims related to Services previously invoiced, paid for or deemed accepted by a Customer Permitted Entity.
