AGREEMENT FOR AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION GRANTED UNDER THE

1999 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Grant of Option Aspect grants to the Award Recipient an Incentive Stock Option (meaning,
an option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option under the requirements of Section 422 of the
United States Internal Revenue Code) to purchase up to the Number of Shares of Aspect Common Stock
at the Option Price Per Share, in each case as stated in the Award Notice, according to the terms,
definitions and provisions of the Aspect 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is
incorporated by reference into this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms
of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms
used herein but not defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. If any portion of this
Option does not or cannot qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Applicable Law, then such
portion that does not so qualify shall be treated for all purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

Option Nontransferable Only the Award Recipient may exercise this Option during his or
her lifetime. This Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution. The terms and conditions of this Option shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Award Recipient.

Exercise of the Option The Award Recipient may elect to purchase vested shares of Aspect
Common Stock from Aspect by exercising this Option. The purchase of vested Option shares is
described as an “exercise” of this Option. The Award Recipient is advised of the following
provisions that apply to any exercise of this Option:

     - Calculating Number of Exercisable Shares The number of shares eligible for exercise on a
given date is determined by calculating the total number of shares that are vested and eligible for
exercise as set forth in the Award Notice at that date and subtracting the number of shares of this
Option previously exercised.

     - No Fractional Shares The Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. If at any
date the calculation of the number of shares exercisable results in a whole number and a fraction,
only the whole number of shares may be exercised at that date.

     - Expiration Date The Option may not be exercised in any case after the Expiration Date
stated on the face of this Award Notice.

     - Early Termination of Option The Option may be exercised for up to the number of shares that
are vested and eligible to be exercised as of the last day of the Award Recipient’s Continuous
Service Status with Aspect or one of its eligible subsidiaries. No additional shares shall become
vested and exercisable thereafter. Following termination of Continuous Service Status, shares that
were vested and exercisable as of the last day of Continuous Service Status shall remain
exercisable for 60 days beyond such last day. If the Award Recipient’s employment terminates by
reason of permanent disability or if the Award Recipient dies while holding this Option, then the
Award Recipient or his or her personal representative or beneficiaries may exercise up to the
number of shares eligible on the last date of employment within six months after such termination
of employment or death. If the Award Recipient’s Continuous Service Status terminates under
certain circumstances related to his or her permanent disability, death or retirement, then the
Award Recipient (or his or her personal representative or beneficiaries, as the case may be) may
exercise the Option for up to the number of shares that are vested and eligible to be exercised
under such circumstances for the applicable period specified in Section 10(c), 10(d) or 10(e) of
the Plan.

Payment The amount of payment required to exercise this Option is equal to the product of
the number of shares being exercised times the Option Price Per Share. Payment for the exercise
price may be by personal check or wire transfer from the Award Recipient, or to the extent the
Company is permitting such program on the date of exercise through a cashless-brokered
exercise/same-day sale arrangement through a participating stockbroker.

Mechanics of Exercise To exercise the Option through a cash exercise, the Award Recipient
should contact Aspect’s Stock Administration Department at stockadministration@aspect.com. To
exercise the Option through a cashless-brokered exercise/same-day sale arrangement, the Award
Recipient should log on to his or her E*Trade account at etrade.com. Following completion of
appropriate Option exercise documents and delivery of payment,

 

 

stock administration will coordinate with Aspect’s stock transfer agent to send the Award Recipient
or his or her broker the appropriate number of shares.

Sales and Dispositions Subject to the Company’s Trading Policy and the general
prohibition on trading in Company securities on the basis of material nonpublic information about
the Company and its business, the Award Recipient may sell, gift or otherwise dispose of the shares
received on exercise of this Option. Note that a cashless-brokered exercise/same-day sale
arrangement involves a public sale of shares and may result in adverse tax consequences with
respect to an Incentive Stock Option.

Merger, Dissolution, Etc. This Option may terminate early in the event of certain
Corporate Transactions, as reflected in Section 14(b) and 14(c) of the Plan.

Adjustments in Option Shares The existence of this Option shall not in any way restrict
the right of Aspect to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise make changes in its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any
part of its business or assets. If any change is made to Aspect’s outstanding common stock
(whether by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend,
stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or other change in corporate or capital
structure of the Company) the Board of Directors may make appropriate adjustments to the kind,
price per share, and maximum number of shares subject to this Option. Adjustments made by the
Board of Directors will be final, as set forth in Section 14(a) of the Plan.

Employment Rights Nothing in this stock Option award or in the Plan shall confer upon the
Award Recipient any right to continue in the employment or service of Aspect or any of its
subsidiaries for any period of specific duration or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of
Aspect, its subsidiaries, or the Award Recipient to terminate such employment or service
relationship at any time for any reason.

Compliance with Laws No shares will be issued in response to a notice of exercise of this
Option unless the exercise of the Option and the issuance of the shares shall comply with
Applicable Law. The Company will have no liability for failure to issue shares upon attempted
exercise of this Option if it cannot do so in compliance with the Applicable Laws.

Acknowledgements By clicking the “Accept” button, the Award Recipient acknowledges
receipt of a copy of the Plan and the Plan Prospectus, and accepts this Option subject to all of
the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Award Notice, this Agreement, and the Plan constitute
the entire agreement of the parties as to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior
understandings, undertakings and agreements among the parties, with respect to the Option, the
shares and all matters related thereto. The Award Recipient agrees to accept as final and binding
all decisions and interpretations of the Board of Directors of Aspect or a Committee thereof, upon
any questions arising under the Plan or with respect to this Option.

Notification of Address Change The Award Recipient agrees to notify Aspect’s Human
Resources Department of any change in mailing address to facilitate correspondence about this
Option.

Withholding Taxes As a condition to the exercise of Options granted hereunder, the Award
Recipient shall make such arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any
federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax or similar obligations that may arise in
connection with the exercise, receipt or vesting of such Option, or with the disposition of shares
following exercise of the Option. The Award Recipient agrees that, if necessary to cover any tax
withholding obligations of the Award Recipient upon exercise of the Option, the Company may
withhold the appropriate amount from his or her cash compensation at or after the time of such
exercise. The Company shall not be required and shall have no liability for failure to issue any
shares pursuant to this Option until the Award Recipient has satisfied any tax withholding or
similar obligation.

Governing Law. The Option, and all determinations made and actions taken with respect
thereto, shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the state
of California.exv10w108

(the “Restricted Shares”)

     [Other
Information Required to be included, e.g., SSN or Grant Number:
               ]

     Pursuant to the Aspect Communications Corporation 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”), a copy of which has been delivered to you, along with a prospectus describing the
material terms of the Plan, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and your
agreement to such additional terms, conditions and restrictions as are set forth below, you have
been granted as of the Date of Grant an award (the “Award”) the Restricted Shares, meaning
shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) of Aspect Communications Corporation (the
“Company”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Stock Award Agreement (the
“Agreement”) have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

     1. Acceptance of Award. As a condition to the grant of this Award, you are required
to accept the Award, and all the terms and conditions that apply to it, by signing this Agreement
in the space indicated below. The Award is effective as of the Effective Date set forth above.

     2. Restricted Shares. The “Restricted Shares” refer to the Restricted Shares
referenced above and to all securities received in replacement of such Restricted Shares, including
as a result of stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of such Shares in
a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or similar transaction, and all new,
substituted or additional securities or other property to which you are entitled by reason of your
ownership of such Restricted Shares. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, the Company’s
rights with respect to the Restricted Shares under Section 3(c) below will be assigned to a
successor to the Company’s business in the event of a Change of Control and will, following such
assignment, apply to the securities or other property received in replacement of such Restricted
Shares.

3. Vesting Schedule; Forfeiture Conditions.

          (a) General. The Restricted Shares will vest and your right to retain them will
become nonforfeitable in accordance with paragraph 3(b) below. The period beginning on the date
hereof and ending on the date on which any Restricted Share becomes vested and nonforfeitable in
accordance with paragraph 3(b) is referred to as the “Restriction Period” with

 

 

respect to any such Restricted Share. Each day on which you vest in any portion of the
Restricted Shares (as specified in paragraph 3(b) below) is referred to as a “Vesting
Date.” As of the 31st day (or 91st day if your reemployment is guaranteed by statute or
contract) of a leave of absence, vesting credit will no longer accrue unless otherwise determined
by the Administrator or required by contract or statute. If you return to service immediately
after the end of an approved leave of absence, vesting credit shall continue to accrue from that
date of continued employment.

          (b) Vesting Schedule. Subject to your remaining in Continuous Service Status through
a Vesting Date, the Restricted Shares will vest and become nonforfeitable as follows:

          Percentage of Restricted Shares               
           Vesting Date

          (c) Termination of Continuous Service Status. Any Restricted Shares that are not
vested pursuant to paragraph 3(b) above on the date on which your Continuous Service Status
terminates for any reason, including your death, disability or retirement, will be forfeited in
their entirety to the Company and you will no longer have any right, claim, title or interest in or
to such forfeited Restricted Shares.

4. Issuance of Certificates; Rights as Shareholder.

          (a) Issuance of Certificates. Certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares will be
issued by the Company and registered in your name on the stock transfer books of the Company
(through its transfer agent) promptly after the date hereof, but shall remain in the physical
custody of the Company or its designee at all times during the Restriction Period. As a condition
to receipt of this Award, you will deliver to the Company a stock power, duly endorsed in blank and
attached hereto as Exhibit A, relating to the Restricted Shares. As soon as practicable
after termination of the Restriction Period applicable to any Restricted Shares, certificate(s) for
such Restricted Shares then vesting will be delivered to you or your legal representative along
with the stock powers relating thereto.

          (b) Rights as Shareholder. You will become the record owner of the Restricted Shares
pursuant to paragraph 1 above and will remain such until or unless such Restricted Shares are
forfeited pursuant to paragraph 3 above. As the record owner, you will be entitled to all rights
of a Common Stock holder of the Company, including without limitation voting rights and rights to
cash and in-kind dividends, if any, on the Restricted Shares.

     5. Restrictions on Transferability. At all times during the Restriction Period, the
Restricted Shares will be nontransferable, and may not be pledged, assigned or alienated in any way
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution (subject to Section 8 below) or pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order.

 

 

     6. Withholding Obligations. As a condition to receipt of the Restricted Shares, you
acknowledge your obligation with respect to any tax or similar withholding obligations that may
arise in connection with receipt or vesting of the Restricted Shares. The Company or its
representative will have the right to take such action as may be necessary, in the Administrator’s
discretion, to satisfy the obligations outlined in this Section 6. You further agree that the
Company will have the right to deduct or cause to be deducted from your current compensation any
federal, state, local or other taxes required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such
event. In addition, you agree that the Company will have the right to require you to withhold that
number of Restricted Shares subject to the Award having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate
amount of the withholding obligation. You understand that the Company’s rights to ensure
satisfaction of applicable withholding obligations with respect to the Award and the Restricted
Shares, either through the Company’s withholding Restricted Shares subject to the Award, or through
your sale of the Restricted Shares themselves, or through other sources of funds that may be
available to you, may require planning on your part, in advance of the expected Vesting Date(s)
specified in Section 3(b) above. The Company may also in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing,
at its sole discretion, require you to deposit with the Company an amount of cash sufficient to
meet the withholding requirements. The Company will not deliver any of the Shares until and unless
you have made proper provision for all applicable tax and similar withholding obligations.

     7. Other Tax Matters. You have reviewed with your own tax advisors the federal,
state, local and other tax consequences, including those in addition to any tax withholding
obligations you may have, of your investment in the Restricted Shares and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. You acknowledge that you are relying solely on such advisors, and
not on the Company or its agents or advisors, with respect to such tax consequences. You
acknowledge your receipt of the Company’s prospectus relating to the Plan, which contains certain
information regarding tax issues affecting the Award, including your right under U.S. federal
income tax law to make an election which affects the timing of your recognition of income with
respect to the Award under Section 83 of the Code ( a copy of the form of election is attached
hereto as Exhibit B). You understand and agree that, should you choose to file an election
under Code Section 83(b), the filing of this election is your responsibility and you must notify
the Company of the fact of your filing on or prior to the day of making the filing.

     8. Designation of Beneficiaries. You may, in accordance with procedures established
by the Administrator, designate one or more beneficiaries to receive all or part of any Restricted
Shares to be distributed to you hereunder in the case of your death, and you may change or revoke
such designation at any time; provided, however, that in the event you are married and reside in or
are otherwise subject to the laws of a community property state or jurisdiction, and you desire to
designate a beneficiary other than your spouse, you will be required to obtain your spouse’s
signature consenting to such designation. In the event of your death, any Restricted Shares
distributable hereunder that are subject to such a designation (to the extent such a designation is
enforceable under applicable law) will be distributed to such beneficiary or beneficiaries in
accordance with this Agreement. Any other Restricted Shares distributable will be distributed to
your estate. If there is any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive a
distribution hereunder, the amount in question will be paid over to your

 

 

estate, in which event neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company will have any
further liability to anyone with respect to such amount.

     9. General. This Agreement, together with the Plan, represent the entire agreement
between the Company and you with respect to the Restricted Shares. To the extent the provisions of
this Agreement conflict with the terms of the Plan, the Plan provisions will govern.

     By your signature below, you indicate your acceptance of the terms of this Stock Award
Agreement, and acknowledge that you have received copies of the Plan and the prospectus, in each
case as currently in effect. You also acknowledge and agree that your rights to any Restricted
Shares will be earned only as you provide services to the Company over time, and that nothing in
the grant of this Award or this Agreement confers upon you any right to continue in the employ of
the Company for any period of time, nor does it interfere in any way with your or the Company’s
right to terminate your employment or consulting relationship at any time, for any reason, with or
without Cause.

     By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge that your personal employment information regarding
participation in the Plan and information necessary to determine and pay, if applicable, benefits
under the Plan must be shared with other entities, including companies related to the Company and
persons responsible for certain acts in the administration of the Plan. By signing this Agreement,
you consent to such transmission of personal data as the Company believes is appropriate to
administer the Plan.
