     This Award Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of May ___, 2008 between Centex Corporation, a
Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), and ___(the “Participant”) under the
stockholder-approved Centex Corporation 2003 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive
Plan”) or the stockholder-approved Centex Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity

limitations applicable to an Award to the Participant relative to fiscal year 2009.

     This Agreement is subject to the Plans (which may be amended from time to time), and the Plans

of the Plans are also the provisions of this Agreement, and all terms, provisions and definitions
set forth in the Plans are incorporated into this Agreement and made a part of this Agreement for
all purposes. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Plans.

     The maximum cash Award that may be paid to the Participant for fiscal year 2009 is $15
million. Attached hereto is a chart that describes the performance goal or goals for the cash

is or are achieved during fiscal year 2009. The Corporation acknowledges that the operating

uncertain, and, accordingly, it is substantially uncertain whether the performance goal(s) will be

     Payment of an Award will be made to the Participant following the conclusion of fiscal year
2009, upon the conditions that the performance goal or goals specified herein have been achieved

Don Girskis

[Address]

Dear Don,

On behalf of ShoreTel, Inc., I am pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President of
Worldwide Sales. This letter embodies the terms of our offer of employment to you.

You will be reporting directly to me. ShoreTel may change your responsibilities and duties and
your work location from time to time, as it deems necessary due to business changes.

Your salary will be $20,833.33 per month ($250,000 annualized). In addition, you will be eligible
to receive incentive compensation of $250,000 annually. This incentive compensation will be paid
quarterly and will be based on revenue goals (75% weighting) and customer satisfaction and other
goals and objectives (25% weighting). Details of the plan will be provided to you within 30 days of
employment. In addition, you will also be eligible for the following employee benefits: medical,
dental, vision and life insurance, 401(k), flexible spending, paid time off and holidays. The
details of these employee benefits will be explained during your first week of employment. You
should also note that ShoreTel might modify benefits from time to time, as it deems necessary. All
benefits commence as of the first day of employment with the submission of the appropriate
enrollment forms and documentation. Lastly, ShoreTel bonus plans are subject to change at the sole
discretion of ShoreTel, without notice.

Upon the commencement of your employment and subject to approval by the Board of Directors, we will
grant you options for 250,000 shares of the common stock of the company, under the company’s 2007
Common Stock Option Plan. Such options shall be subject to the company’s standard vesting (25%
vested after one year, one forty-eighth per month thereafter, 100% vested in four years).
Additionally, subject to the approval by the Board of Directors, we will grant you 50,000 full
valued shares of ShoreTel stock. These shares will vest 50% on the two-year anniversary of the
vesting commencement date, 75% on the three-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and
100% on the four-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date.

In the event of a change of control via merger or acquisition, coupled with an involuntary without
cause or constructive termination (constructive termination is defined as experiencing a 30%
reduction in base annual salary or relocation of over 50 miles from the current workplace location)
within 12 months of such change of control, you will receive 12 months of severance plus your
targeted annual bonus, reimbursement for the premiums paid for the continued coverage for you and
your eligible dependents under the Company’s medical, dental, vision plans at the same level of
coverage in effect on the Termination Date for twelve (12) months after the Termination date
(provided you validly elect to continue coverage under the Consolidated Budget reconciliation Act
(“COBRA”), and 75% of the then unvested options or shares will vest immediately.

 

 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

	 	(i)	 	the approval by shareholders of the Company of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would
result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving
entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a plan to complete
liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company
of all or substantially all of the Company assets;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becoming the “beneficial owner” (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s
then outstanding voting securities.

“Cause” means (a) any act of dishonesty or fraud taken by Executive that is in connection with his
responsibilities as an employee which is intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of
the Executive; (b) Executive’s conviction of, or no contest plea to, a felony; (c) a willful act by
Executive which constitutes misconduct and is injurious to the Company; (d) a material breach if
the terms of any confidentiality, invention assignment or proprietary information agreement with
the Company; or (e) continued violations by Executive of Executive’s obligations to the Company or
written Company policies after there has been delivered to Executive a written demand for
performance for the Company which describes the basis for the Company’s belief that Executive has
not substantially performed his or her duties.

Should you be terminated by the Company within 24 months of your start date, for any reason other
than cause, you will receive a severance package that includes six months of your base salary, six
months of premiums paid for you and your eligible dependants under the Company’s medical, dental
and vision plans at the same level of coverage in effect on the Termination Date, pro-rated
incentive compensation and equity vesting prorated for your time with the Company plus an
additional six months of vesting.

ShoreTel agrees to include you as a Named Executive Officer on its Directors and Officers liability
insurance application and to provide an adequate amount of liability insurance under that policy.

ShoreTel will provide you relocation assistance up to $100,000.00 to assist you with your
relocation expenses (home sale, purchase costs and moving expenses) from Corona, California to the
Sunnyvale area. Relocation expenses must be supported by receipts and submitted on the ShoreTel
Gelco expense system. Both you and the Company will agree to the implementation of the move
allowance prior to the move. Should you voluntarily terminate your employment with ShoreTel prior
to completing one full year of service after your move date, you agree to repay ShoreTel for costs
incurred during your relocation at a monthly-prorated basis. Relocation expenses will be “grossed
up” to offset the taxable income increase.

 

 

ShoreTel will also reimburse you for all business related travel expenses, including airfare,
lodging, car and meal expenses.

We have reviewed the non-compete section of your employment agreement. We do not believe there is
a conflict with your current employer. We would cover any legal expenses associated with defending
any non-compete issues that arise and would provide you with a six month salary in the unlikely
event you had to resign your position with ShoreTel because you current employer prevailed.

As a ShoreTel employee, you will be expected to abide by company rules and regulations. You will
be specifically required to sign and comply with a Proprietary Information and Non-disclosure
Agreement which requires, among other provisions, the assignment of patent rights to any invention
made during your employment at ShoreTel and non-disclosure of proprietary information.

This offer is subject to your submission of an I-9 form and satisfactory documentation representing
your identification and right to work in the United States no later than three (3) days after your
employment begins.

ShoreTel is an “At Will” employer. This means, as an employee, you may terminate employment at any
time and for any reason whatsoever. ShoreTel may in turn terminate your employment at any time and
for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause or advance notice. Furthermore, this mutual
termination of employment arrangement supersedes all other prior written and oral communication
with you and can only be modified by written agreement signed by you and ShoreTel.

In the event of any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of our employment relationship, you
and ShoreTel agree that all such disputes, including but not limited to, claims of harassment,
discrimination, and wrongful termination, shall be settled by arbitration held in Santa Clara
County, California, under the Arbitration Rules set forth in the California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1280, et seq., including Section 1283.05, (the “Rules”), and pursuant to
California law. A copy of the Rules is available for your review prior to signing this Agreement.

We believe ShoreTel has a promising future, which requires talented, dedicated and motivated people
like you to make it successful. We are delighted you are interested in ShoreTel and look forward
to your acceptance of this offer.

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	Sincerely,
