EXHIBIT 2.1
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of November 27, 2000, between Juniper Networks, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company) and Micro Magic, Incorporated, a California
corporation ("Micro Magic").
RECITALS
A. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Micro Magic
and the Company intend to enter into a transaction whereby Micro Magic will
merge with and into the Company.
B. The consideration will be in the form of the Company's common stock and cash
as provided herein.
C. The parties intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").
AGREEMENTS
The parties hereby agree as follows:
1. TRANSACTION.
1.1 ACQUISITION. Micro Magic will merge with and into the Company (the
"Merger"). The shareholders of Micro Magic will receive shares of the common
stock of the Company, par value $.00001 per share (the "Shares"), and cash as
provided in Section 1.2 below.
1.2 CONSIDERATION. Each shareholder of Micro Magic shall elect, prior to
the Closing Date, the amount of the consideration to be paid in the form of the
Shares and the amount of the consideration to be paid in the form of cash. The
specific allocation of the consideration between cash and Shares shall be as set
forth on Schedule 1.2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Schedule 1.2 will be completed before the Closing Date in accordance with
Section 6.3 of this Agreement. The parties agree that the amount of cash
consideration shall not exceed $44,500,000.
1.3 EXCHANGE RATIO. The number of Shares to be received by each Micro
Magic shareholder shall be determined by multiplying the number of Micro Magic
shares by the Exchange Ratio. The "Exchange Ratio" is defined as the quotient
obtained by dividing (i) the quotient obtained by dividing $300,000,000 by the
"Juniper Per Share Price" (as defined below) by (ii) the aggregate number of
"Micro Magic Securities" (as defined below). Each holder of Micro Magic issued
and outstanding common stock who elects to receive Shares only in the Merger
shall receive the number of Shares equal to the number of Shares determined by
applying the Exchange Ratio as defined in the preceding sentence. Each holder of
Micro Magic issued and outstanding common stock who elects to receive cash and
Shares in the Merger shall receive the number of Shares equal to the number of
Shares determined by applying the Exchange Ratio, reduced by a number of Shares
determined by dividing the amount of cash to be received by such holder by the
Juniper Per Share Price. In utilizing the Exchange Ratio to calculate the amount
of cash or stock consideration or the number or exercise price for option
shares, all share amounts will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and
all dollar amounts will be rounded up to the nearest cent.
1.3.1 "JUNIPER PER SHARE PRICE" shall mean the average of the
closing price of the common stock of the Company for the 30 trading days
immediately ending on December 8, 2000.
1.3.2 "MICRO MAGIC SECURITIES" shall mean all outstanding common
stock (whether restricted or not), options (whether vested or unvested), all
other shares that are reserved for issuance under any stock option plans,
including the Additional Employee Shares (as defined below) and the New Employee
Shares (as defined below) and all preferred stock on an as-converted to common
basis.
2
(a) "ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE SHARES" shall mean the
1,156,667 shares of Micro Magic common stock that, as of October 31,2000 were
unissued out of the Micro Magic common stock reserved for issuance under the
Micro Magic 1995 Stock Option Plan.
(b) "NEW EMPLOYEE SHARES" shall mean the 3,000,000
shares of Micro Magic common stock to be available for granting stock options to
new hires of Micro Magic prior the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of a new
stock option plan to be adopted by Micro Magic.
1.4 OPTIONS FOR MICRO MAGIC COMMON STOCK; ACCELERATION; JUNIPER OPTIONS.
1.4.1 ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS BY THE COMPANY. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, as a result of the Merger all of the options to
acquire Micro Magic common stock granted on or prior to the Closing Date shall
be converted into options to acquire common stock of the Company and shall be
assumed by the Company. The number of shares and the exercise price of such
Micro Magic options shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be adjusted in
accordance with the Exchange Ratio (the number of shares shall be multiplied by
the Exchange Ratio and the exercise price per share shall be divided by the
Exchange Ratio). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except for
any acceleration of vesting rights, the original vesting schedules of the
converted and assumed options shall be retained and the original terms of the
options shall have the same terms upon conversion except, with respect to the
Major Shareholders, as more fully described in the form of Stock Restructuring
and Non-Compete Agreement attached hereto as Schedule 1.8.2(a). The Company
shall file for registration of the converted and assumed option shares on Form
S-8 within 30 days following the Closing Date but shall use its best efforts to
file such S-8 Registration Statement within 15 days following the Closing Date,
and the Company shall use best efforts to have such registration statement
declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter.
1.4.2 ACCELERATION. Except as otherwise agreed by the parties,
each Micro Magic employee shall waive his or her rights to acceleration of
vesting (if any) that may be applicable as a result of any transaction
contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise upon any change of control or sale
of all or any part of the assets or capital stock of Micro Magic.
1.4.3 ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE SHARES. Micro Magic and the Company
have agreed upon the grant of options to purchase the Additional Employee Shares
to certain Micro Magic employees in the amounts agreed to by Micro Magic and the
Company. Except as otherwise agreed, the options granted for the Additional
Employee Shares shall vest over a four-year period beginning immediately as of
the Closing Date at a rate of 1/48th per month.
1.4.4 NEW EMPLOYEE SHARES. Micro Magic shall grant options to
purchase the New Employee Shares to those new employees hired by Micro Magic
prior to the Closing Date with the prior approval of the Company. The options
for the New Employee Shares shall vest as to 25% one year after the date of hire
with the remainder vesting monthly over the 36-month period thereafter. Micro
Magic shall adopt a new plan which will reserve 3,000,000 shares of the common
stock of Micro Magic for stock options hereunder.
1.4.5 COMPANY OPTIONS. The Company shall grant options to
purchase common stock under its 2000 Stock Option Plan to Xxx Xxxxxx and Xxxx

execute and deliver to the Company the "Investment Representation Statement" in
the form attached hereto as Schedule 1.5.1 at the Closing.
1.5.2 FURTHER ACTIONS. Each of the shareholders of Micro Magic
shall execute such documents as necessary to implement the exemptions from
registration outlined above.
1.5.3 NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET LISTING. The Company shall cause
the Shares and the shares of Company common stock to be reserved for issuance
upon exercise of options assumed in the Merger to be authorized for listing on

sold thereunder; (ii) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") as promptly as practicable such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act; (iii) furnish to each shareholder such number of copies of any prospectus
in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents, as each shareholder may reasonably request in order to effect the
offering and sale of the Shares; and (iv) take such steps as may be reasonably
necessary to register or qualify the Shares under the securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions as each shareholder shall reasonably request.
c) Other Requirements. The Company shall notify each
shareholder (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state
governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the registration

prospectus or for additional information relating to the registration statement;
(ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental
authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration
statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in
any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose; or (iv) of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in
such registration statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect
or which requires the making of any changes in such registration statement or
prospectus. In such event, the Company may suspend use of such prospectus on
written notice to each shareholder, in which case each shareholder shall not
dispose of Shares covered by such registration statement or prospectus until
copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus are distributed to the

3
4
shall, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by clause (iv), prepare a
supplement or post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a
supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered
to the purchasers of the Shares being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
(d) Indemnification. The Company will indemnify each
shareholder against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities arising out of
or based on any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus,
offering circular or other document (including any related registration
statement) incident to any registration, qualification or compliance required or
effected pursuant hereto, or based on any omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any
violation by the Company of the Securities Act including any rule or regulation
thereunder applicable to the Company relating to action or inaction required of
the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or
compliance, and will reimburse each such holder for any legal and any other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) based upon written
information furnished to the Company by such shareholder for use therein.
Each shareholder (the "Indemnifying Holder") will
indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners and agents and
each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other such shareholder against
all claims, losses, damages and liabilities arising out of or based on any
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such shareholders, directors,
officers, agents, partners or control persons for any legal or any other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating of defending any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Indemnifying Holder
for use therein.
Each party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense, and provided further that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent
that the Indemnified Party is prejudiced by such failure to provide notice. No
Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except
with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a
release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each
Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim
in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request and as shall be
reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation
resulting therefrom. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if
representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the
Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding, provided that in no event shall the
4
5
Indemnifying Party be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one
such separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties.
The obligations of the Company and holders hereunder
shall survive the completion of any offering of the Shares in a registration
statement and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) AVAILABILITY OF FORM S-3 AND REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT. The Company
represents that it is currently eligible to utilize Form S-3. Further, the
Company agrees to use best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act.

1.7 ACCOUNTING TREATMENT. The parties intend to treat the Merger as a

structure and as agreed to by Micro Magic and the Company, and shall be eligible
for employee benefits in accordance with the Company's current policies and
practices. For purposes of the Company's benefit programs and each Micro Magic
employee's employment with the Company, the Company will treat such Micro Magic
employees the same way the Company would treat similarly situated employees of
the Company, and the Company will give such employees credit for such employees'
prior service with Micro Magic. The Company's current policies and practices
with respect to its various benefits programs provide that there are no waiting
periods for participation except that the Company's employee stock purchase plan
does not accept new enrollees otherwise than during enrollment for a new
offering period (which occurs twice a year during January and July for
participation which begins in February and August, respectively).
1.8.2 STOCK OWNERSHIP/RESTRUCTURING. The Micro Magic stock
ownership of the Major Shareholders shall be restructured such that each will be
unvested as to a number of shares equal to 45% of such Major Shareholder's total
stock holdings as of October 31, 2000. Such shares will vest in equal monthly
increments over a 36-month period following the Closing Date, subject to
continued employment and such other conditions as set forth in the Stock
Restructuring and Non-Compete Agreement substantially in the form attached
hereto as Schedule 1.8.2(a). The unvested, restructured shares shall be held in

monthly in arrears as the shares shall vest, in accordance with the procedures
in effect currently at that Company.
1.8.3 STOCK OPTION RESTRUCTURING. The Micro Magic stock option
holdings of the Major Shareholders shall be restructured such that the options
shall be deemed vested as to 55% and the remaining 45% shall vest in equal
monthly increments over a 36-month period commencing on the Closing Date,
subject to continued employment and such other conditions as set forth in the
Stock Restructuring and Non-Compete Agreement substantially in the form attached
hereto as Schedule 1.8.2(a). The Major Shareholders shall execute an amendment
to their respective stock option agreements to reflect the restructuring of the
vesting schedule and the vesting acceleration provisions provided in the Stock
Restructuring and Non-Compete Agreement.

Restructuring and Non-Compete Agreement, the Major Shareholders shall agree to a
non-compete provision pursuant to which each agrees not to compete for a period
of two years from the date of termination of employment; provided however, that
such period shall not be longer than three years from the Closing Date. The
scope of the non-compete shall be worldwide and shall be limited to the design,
development and implementation of integrated circuits, associated software and
methodologies to be utilized by companies in the development of IP packet
processing products; provided however, that companies engaged in the design,
development and implementation of SRAMs, DRAMs and general purpose
microprocessors shall be excluded from the scope of the non-compete.

Restructuring and Non-Compete Agreement and Section 1.8, the terms of the Stock
Restructuring and Non-Compete Agreement will govern.

demands for appraisal of any shares of Micro Magic common stock, withdrawals of

Date. The Company will prepare and deliver instructions to the Transfer Agent in
appropriate form regarding such issuance and delivery. At the end of each month

shares that are subject to repurchase by the Company. If required by applicable
