I, Kirill Tatarinov (referred to herein with the pronouns “I,” “me” and “my”), and Citrix Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) enter into this Separation Agreement and Release (the “Release”) pursuant to Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement between the Company and me dated January 19, 2016 (the

“Employment Agreement”). I acknowledge that my timely execution and return and my non-revocation of this Release are conditions to my entitlement to the benefits set forth in Section 5 or 6 of the Employment Agreement as summarized in the tally sheet dated July 7, 2017 (the “Separation Benefits”). I therefore agree to the following terms:

1.Release of Claims. I voluntarily release and forever discharge the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliated entities, and each of those entities’ respective current and former shareholders, investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, insurers, legal successors and assigns

(collectively referred to as the “Releasees”) generally from all claims, demands, debts, damages and liabilities of every name and nature, known or unknown (“Claims”) that, as of the date when I sign this Release, I have, ever had, now claim to have or ever claimed to have had against any or all of the Releasees. This includes, without limitation, the release of all Claims:

provided, however, that this release shall not affect my rights under the Company’s Section 401(k) plan, my rights to the Separation Benefits under the Employment Agreement, my rights to indemnification under the Indemnification Agreement between the Company and me dated January 25, 2016 (the

“Indemnification Agreement”) and the Company’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, my rights to Directors’ and Officers’ insurance, my rights to any vested equity awards, my rights to file an administrative charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other administrative agency, and any rights and claims that cannot be waived by law.

I agree that I shall not seek or accept damages of any nature, other equitable or legal remedies for my own benefit, attorney’s fees, or costs from any of the Releasees with respect to any Claim released by this Release. I represent that I have not assigned to any third party and I have not filed with any court any Claim released by this Release.

2.Ongoing Obligations. I reaffirm my ongoing obligations under the Citrix Systems, Inc. Confidential Information, Inventions Assignment and Noncompetition Agreement between me and the Company dated January 29, 2016 (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”), including, without limitation, my obligations to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of the Company, to return to the Company (in good condition) all of the Company’s equipment, property, and documents (whether in paper, electronic, or other format, and all copies thereof) that are in my possession or control, and refrain from certain competition and solicitation activities for a twelve (12) month period after my termination of employment by the Company. I acknowledge that the execution of Exhibit A to the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, entitled “Citrix Systems, Inc. Termination Certification” (the

“Certification”), is required by the Restrictive Covenant Agreement and accordingly agree to sign and return to the Company, at the same time I return the Release, the Certification (attached hereto as Appendix A) as a condition to my entitlement to the Separation Benefits. I also reaffirm my ongoing obligations under the Citrix Systems, Inc. Statement of Company Policy Regarding Insider Trading and Disclosure of Material Non-Public Information (the “Insider Trading Policy”) and agree that those obligations continue to apply following my separation from employment, until such time as any material, nonpublic information possessed by me has become public or is no longer material, but not to exceed 12 months. Without limiting the foregoing, I acknowledge and agree that I shall continue to be subject to the remainder of any Quarterly Black Out or Special Black Out (as defined in the Insider Trading Policy), if such black out period was instituted prior to my separation from employment.

3.Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. I agree to cooperate fully with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while I was employed by the Company. My full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. I also agree to cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while I was employed by the Company. Any cooperation pursuant to this Section 3 is subject to the Company’s obligation to (i) reimburse me for any expenses incurred during activities reasonably performed at the Company’s request pursuant to this Section 3, subject to the same standards and procedures as apply to business expense reimbursements pursuant to the Company’s Travel and Expense reimbursement policy, and (ii) compensate me at a daily rate equal to the sum of my annual base salary as of my separation from employment and my “Target Variable Cash Compensation”, each as defined in the Employment Agreement, divided by 365 to the extent that I reasonably expend any time in performing activities at the Company’s request pursuant to this Section 3 at any time more than two years after my separation from employment; provided that I acknowledge that I shall not at any time be entitled to compensation for time spent in activities that could have been compelled pursuant to a subpoena, including testimony and related attendance at depositions, hearings or trials.

4.Non-Disparagement and No Cooperation. I agree that I will not, at any time in the future, make any written or oral statement that disparages or damages (i) the business of the Company or any

affiliate of the Company (together, “Company Parties”), (ii) any products or services of any Company Party, (iii) any member of the board of directors or management of any Company Party or (iv) any investor in the securities of the Company or any representative thereof. In addition, the Company will direct its directors and officers not to, at any time in the future, make or cause to be made any written or

oral statement that disparages or damages me or my reputation. I agree that I will not counsel or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against the Company and/or any of the other Releasee, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so; provided that nothing in this Release shall be construed to affect my right

to participate in any proceeding before a federal or state administrative

agency, including, without limitation, by cooperating with any such agency’s request for information or by making any good faith report to a governmental entity concerning any act or omission that I reasonably believe constitutes a possible violation of federal or state law or making other disclosures that are protected under the anti-retaliation or whistleblower provisions of applicable federal or state law or regulation. In addition, I recognize that the Company’s business relationships with its customers, distributors, resellers and partners (collectively, “Customers and Partners”) are very important to the Company, and that if I - as an important Company representative in its dealings with Customers and Partners during the course of my employment - make any statement (directly or indirectly) to such Customers or Partners about the Company, any other Company Party, employees of any Company Party or the products or services of any Company Party that is untrue or otherwise may be harmful to the Company or any other Company Party, I will be deemed to have violated this Section 4.

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.

Being aware of said code section, I agree to expressly waive any rights I may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect. I further acknowledge and agree that the inclusion of the waiver of said code section in this Release shall not be construed to affect the applicability of Florida law to this Release or to any other agreement between the Company and me.
