Pursuant to the Citrix Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), Citrix Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants an Award of Restricted Stock Units to the awardee named above ( “Awardee”). Upon acceptance of this Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including any special terms and conditions set forth in any appendix for Awardee’s country (the “Appendix” and together with the Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, the “Award Agreement”), Awardee shall receive the number of Restricted Stock Units specified above, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement and in the Plan.

1.Vesting.

(a)No portion of this Award may be settled until the Committee has determined the portion that has vested. Except as otherwise provided herein, the number of Restricted Stock Units vested shall be based on the Company’s performance during the Performance Period identified above based on the performance criteria set forth on Schedule attached hereto (the “Performance Metrics”), and, except as provided in Section 4(b), shall be further subject to Awardee’s continuous employment relationship with the Company or one of its Affiliates through the conclusion of the Performance Period. As used herein, “Performance Period” shall mean the three-year performance period indicated above.

(b)The Committee, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 60 days) following the conclusion of the Performance Period, shall determine the actual number of Restricted Stock Units that vest upon the final day of the Performance Period (the “Vesting Date”) in accordance with Section 2 and the Performance Metrics; and on the Vesting Date, all of such actual number of Restricted Stock Units shall vest in one installment. Awardee shall forfeit any portion of this Award that is not vested upon the conclusion of the Performance Period.

2.Performance Criteria and Attainment Levels.

(a)Except as otherwise set forth in this Award Agreement, the attainment level under this Restricted Stock Unit Award will be determined during the first 60 days of the calendar year immediately following the end of the Performance Period based on the Performance Metrics indicated in the attached Schedule.

(b)Subject to the terms of any employment, executive or similar agreement between the Company and Awardee, upon an Acquisition that occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the provisions of Section 3(d) of the Plan shall apply; provided, however, that any determination by the Committee or Board in its discretion that the Award shall be deemed earned as of the Acquisition or Change in Control based on the actual achievement of the performance metric as of the Acquisition or Change in Control, and/or the vesting of the Award shall accelerate, shall provide that the actual achievement of the Award as of the Acquisition or Change in Control shall be the maximum level of achievement such that Awardee shall earn, and/or shall immediately vest in the CIC Percentage (as defined below) of the Target Award as of the Acquisition or Change in Control.

(c)As used in this Award Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

“CIC Percentage” shall mean maximum achievement of the Award, which is 200%.

“Disability” shall have the meaning set forth in any employment, executive or similar agreement between the Company and Awardee or, if none, means Awardee’s termination of employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates after becoming eligible to receive benefits under the Company’s or such Affiliate’s then current long-term disability plan applicable to Awardee.

“Retirement” means Awardee’s termination of employment with the Company or its Affiliates after attainment of the age of 65 and provided that Awardee has at such time completed at least four years of service with the Company or its Affiliates.

“Stock” means a share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

3.Issuance of Stock.

(a)    Subject to determination of attainment levels by the Committee or pursuant to Section 2(b) upon an Acquisition, each vested Restricted Stock Unit entitles Awardee to receive one share of Stock.

(b)    Within a reasonable amount of time after the Committee has made the determination pursuant to Section 2 or pursuant to Section 2(b) upon an Acquisition and all applicable service vesting requirements have been satisfied (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date or the Acquisition occurs, as applicable), Awardee’s name shall be entered as the stockholder of record on the books and records of the Company with respect to the shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units vested in accordance with this Award Agreement and upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Committee as to such compliance shall be final and binding on Awardee.

(c)    Until such time as shares of Stock have been issued to Awardee pursuant to Section 3(b) above, Awardee shall not have any rights as a holder of the shares of Stock underlying this Award, including but not limited to voting rights.

(d)    If on any date the Company shall pay any cash dividend on shares of Stock, the Committee shall, in its discretion, either:

(i) make a proportionate award (based on the dividend paid) of Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan with respect to the unvested Restricted Stock Units hereunder; or

(ii) take necessary action such that the number of Restricted Stock Units shall, as of such date, be increased by an amount determined by the following formula:

W = (X multiplied by Y) divided by Z, where:

W = the number of additional Restricted Stock Units to be credited to Awardee on such dividend payment date;

X = the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units (whether vested or unvested) credited to Awardee as of the record date of the dividend;

Y = the cash dividend per share amount; and

Z = the Fair Market Value per share of Stock (as determined under the Plan) on the dividend payment date.

In the case of a dividend paid on Stock in the form of Stock, including without limitation a distribution of Stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be awarded in a number, or the

number of unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be increased by a number, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have been awarded to Awardee through the related dividend record date, and (B) the number of shares of Stock (including any fraction thereof) payable as dividend on one share of Stock.

In the case of a dividend payable in property other than shares of Stock or cash, the per share of Stock value of such dividend shall be determined in good faith by the Board and shall be converted to Dividend Equivalent Rights or additional Restricted Stock Units based on the formula above.

In any of the above cases, the Dividend Equivalent Rights or additional Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, shall be subject to the vesting conditions and restrictions of this Award Agreement in the same manner as the Restricted Stock Units and for so long as the Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Award Agreement to which they relate remain subject to such vesting conditions and restrictions, and shall be promptly forfeited to the Company if and when such Restricted Stock Units are so forfeited. Any fractional share resulting from the vesting of Dividend Equivalent Rights or additional Restricted Stock Units shall be rounded up to the next whole share on the Vesting Date.

4.Termination of Employment and Change in Control.

(a)Subject to the terms of any employment, executive or similar agreement, if Awardee’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Awardee is employed or the terms of Awardee’s employment or other service agreement, if any) other than by reason of Disability, death or Retirement prior to the end of the Performance Period, Awardee’s right in any Restricted Stock Units that are not vested shall automatically terminate as of the date that Awardee is no longer actively employed by the Company and any Affiliate as determined by the Committee or any of its delegates in its, his or her sole discretion (the “Termination Date”), and such Restricted Stock Units shall be canceled and shall be of no further force and effect.

(b)If Awardee’s termination of employment is on account of Disability, death or Retirement prior to the end of the Performance Period, Awardee shall not forfeit his or her Award and shall remain eligible to earn his or her Award, subject to the requirements of Section 2; provided, however, that the number of Restricted Stock Units determined pursuant to Section 2 by the Committee shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the full and partial months from the Award Date to Awardee’s Termination Date and the denominator of which shall be the number of months in the Performance Period. For the avoidance of doubt, if Awardee at the time of such termination has attained the age of 65 but has not completed at least four years of service with the Company or an Affiliate, Awardee shall not be deemed to have been terminated on account of Retirement, and Section 4(a) above shall apply. In the event of Awardee’s termination of employment after the Performance Period, the Company, as soon as practicable following the Termination Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the Performance Period) shall issue shares of Stock to Awardee (or Awardee’s designated beneficiary or estate executor, as applicable, in the event of Awardee’s death) with respect to any Restricted Stock Units which, as of the Termination Date, have been vested but for which shares of Stock had not yet been issued to Awardee.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions relating to the treatment of this Award in the case of the termination of Awardee’s employment, including any rights to acceleration, that may be set forth in an employment or executive agreement between Awardee and the Company or an Affiliate (as applicable), shall apply to this Award to the extent applicable. In addition, if a Change in Control occurs at any time prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Awardee shall be deemed to have earned the CIC Percentage of the Target Award as of the Change in Control and the shares deemed earned shall remain subject to time-based cliff vesting at the end of the Performance Period subject to the Awardee’s continuous employment through such date; provided that, such time-based vesting shall be subject to any rights to acceleration set forth in any employment or executive agreement between Awardee and the Company or an Affiliate (as applicable) or in the Plan. This provision is specifically intended to control in the event of any inconsistency between this Award Agreement, the Plan or any employment or executive agreement.

5.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Award Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.

6.Transferability. This Award Agreement and the Award are personal to Awardee, non-assignable and not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If Awardee is a U.S. employee (as determined by the Committee or any of its delegatees in its, his or her sole discretion), Awardee may be permitted to designate a beneficiary with respect to the shares of Stock to be issued upon vesting of the Award.

7.Tax Withholding. Regardless of any action the Company or, if different, Awardee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Awardee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Awardee (“Tax-Related Items”), Awardee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains his or her responsibility and that such liability may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Awardee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Stock and the receipt of any dividends and/or any Dividend Equivalent Rights; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate Awardee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Awardee becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, Awardee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Awardee’s Tax-Related Items subject to a withholding obligation by the Company and/or the Employer shall be satisfied through a net issuance of shares. The Company shall withhold from shares of Stock to be issued to Awardee a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the Tax-Related Items due. Alternatively, or in addition, the Company or the Employer may decide in their sole and absolute discretion to satisfy their withholding obligations, if any, for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Stock acquired upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Awardee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); or (ii) in any other way set forth in Section 15 of the Plan; provided, however, that if Awardee is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Exchange Act, then the Company will satisfy any withholding obligation only through a net share issuance of shares, unless the use of such withholding method is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has materially adverse accounting consequences, in which case the obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by method (i) or (ii) above, or a combination thereof.

The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum rates applicable in Awardee’s jurisdiction, in which case Awardee may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Stock, for tax purposes, Awardee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of shares are held back solely for purposes of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of Awardee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, Awardee shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Awardee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Stock or the proceeds of the sale of Stock, if Awardee fails to comply with Awardee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

8.No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Awardee’s participation in the Plan, or Awardee’s acquisition

or sale of the underlying Stock. Awardee acknowledges that Awardee should 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.

10.Nature of Grant. In accepting the Restricted Stock Units, Awardee expressly acknowledges, understands and agrees to the following:

(l)unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Stock; and

17.Severability. The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

18.Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. Awardee acknowledges that, depending on Awardee’s country or broker’s country, or the country in which Stock is listed, Awardee may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws in applicable jurisdictions, which may affect his or her ability to accept, acquire, sell or attempt to sell, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Stock, rights to shares of Stock (e.g., Restricted Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of Stock, during such times as Awardee is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws or regulations in applicable jurisdictions, including the United States and Awardee’s country). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders Awardee placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, Awardee may be prohibited from (i) disclosing insider information to any third party, including fellow employees (other than on a “need to know” basis) and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities. 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. Awardee acknowledges that it is Awardee’s responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and Awardee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

19.Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements. Awardee acknowledges that there may be certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements which may affect Awardee’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Stock acquired under the Plan (or cash received from participating in the Plan) in a brokerage or bank account outside of Awardee’s country. Awardee may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in his or her country. Awardee may also be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of participating in the Plan to Awardee’s country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt. Awardee acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to be compliant with such regulations and Awardee should speak to his or her personal advisor on this matter.

20.Waiver. Awardee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Award Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Award Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Awardee or any other awardee.
