1.                                       Amendment
of First Amendment.

sentence to such section:

 

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2.5

the FSA Subsequent Shares shall occur on the sixth business day after
satisfaction or waiver (by the party entitled to grant such waiver) of the

satisfied at such closing, but subject to fulfillment of those conditions), at
the offices of Mayer Brown LLP located at 1675 Broadway, New York, New York

(c)                                  Section 2(d) of

paragraph (vii):

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the applicable Pre-Emptive Sale is a public offering, the
Offer shall be delivered on the date of the commencement of the public offering
and state (i) the number of shares to be publicly offered (which number of
shares may be increased at the sole discretion of the Company) and (ii) that
the Company has directed that the managing underwriters of such public offering
allocate to the Investor the greater (the “Maximum Number of Pre-Emptive Shares”)
of (1) 25% of the shares offered in such public offering and (2) a
number of shares derived by dividing $150,000,000 by the public offering price
in such public offering, provided that if the managing underwriter determines
that such level of allocation would be detrimental to such public offering,
such allocation will be reduced to the level recommended by such managing
underwriter but in no event to below 25% of the shares offered in such public
offering.  If the applicable Pre-Emptive
Sale is a public offering, the Offer shall remain open until the pricing of
such offering.  The Investor shall accept
such Offer by placing an order, upon standard terms, with the managing underwriters
of the public offering for a number of Pre-Emptive Shares up to the Maximum
Number of Pre-Emptive Shares.  The
Company’s obligations under this paragraph (d) shall be satisfied by
arranging for the Investor to be allocated a number of shares in the public
offering equal to the Maximum Number of Pre-Emptive Shares.

 

3.                                       Relationship
to Amendment.    On and after the date of
this Second Amendment, each reference in the Investment Agreement to “this

Amendment.  Except as specifically
amended above, the Investment Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment,
shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and
confirmed.  The execution and delivery of
this Second Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or
remedy of any party to the Investment Agreement.

 

4.                                       Miscellaneous.

parties hereto, this Second Amendment may be executed in any number of separate

grants to the Participant this Option to purchase the number of Shares set
forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the
Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of the terms and
conditions in this Option Agreement.

 

3.             Vesting Schedule.  Except as provided
in Section 4, the Option awarded by this Option Agreement will vest in
accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of
Grant.  Shares scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the
occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance
with any of the provisions of this Option Agreement, unless Participant will
have been continuously a Service Provider from the Date of Grant until the date
such vesting occurs.

 

4.             Administrator Discretion.  The
Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or
some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Option at any
time.  If so accelerated, such Option will be considered as having
vested as of the date specified by the Administrator.

 

5.             Exercise of Option.

 

(a)          Right to Exercise.  This
Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant,
and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the terms of this
Option Agreement.

 

(b)           Method of Exercise.  This
Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice, in the form attached
as Exhibit B (the “Exercise Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to
such procedures as the Administrator may determine, which will state the
election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the
Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other
representations and agreements as may be required by the
Company.  The Exercise Notice will be completed by Participant and
delivered to the Company.  The Exercise Notice will be accompanied by
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares together
with any applicable tax withholding.  This Option will be deemed to
be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice
accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price.

 

6.             Method of Payment.  Payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price will be by any of the following, or a combination
thereof, at the election of Participant.

 

(a)           cash;

 

(b)           check;

 

(c)           consideration received by the Company
under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company;

 

(d)           by net exercise whereby the Option
may be exercised in full or in part by surrendering a portion of the Option as
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price per Share for the number of Shares
subject to the Option to be exercised. The number of Shares subject to the
Option that would be surrendered in payment of the Exercise Price would be
determined by multiplying the number of Shares to be exercised by the per Share
Exercise Price, and then dividing the product thereof by an amount equal to the
per Share Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.  If the Fair
Market Value of the Shares subject to the portion of the Option that is
surrendered pursuant to a net exercise exceeds the aggregate Exercise Price of the
Exercised Shares, the excess will be paid to the Participant in cash.

 

5

 

(e)           surrender of other Shares which have
a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise
Price of the Exercised Shares, provided that accepting such Shares, in the sole
discretion of the Administrator, will not result in any adverse accounting
consequences to the Company.

 

7.             Tax Obligations.

 

(a)           Tax Withholding.  Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Option Agreement, no certificate representing
the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory
arrangements (as determined by the Administrator) will have been made by
Participant with respect to the payment of income, employment and other taxes
which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such
Shares.  To the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its
discretion, it will have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any tax
withholding obligations by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable
to Participant.  If Participant fails to make satisfactory
arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations
hereunder at the time of the Option exercise, Participant acknowledges and
agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver
Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

 

(b)           Code Section 409A.  Under
Code Section 409A, an option that vests after December 31, 2004 that
was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal
Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a
Share on the date of grant (a “Discount Option”) may be considered “deferred
compensation.”  A Discount Option may result in (i) income
recognition by Participant prior to the exercise of the option, (ii) an
additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential
penalty and interest charges.  The Discount Option may also result in
additional state income, penalty and interest charges to
Participant.  Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and
has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of
this Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of
Grant in a later examination.  Participant agrees that if the IRS
determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was
less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, Participant
will be solely responsible for Participant’s costs related to such a
determination.

 

8.             Rights as Stockholder.  Neither
Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any
of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any
Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such
Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its
transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant.  After
such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights
of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt
of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

 

9.             Termination of Employment.  If
Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, the Option will remain exercisable
for twelve (12) months, unless such termination is the result of a Covered
Termination, in which case the Option will remain exercisable through the
Term/Expiration Date as set forth in the Notice of Grant, to the extent the
Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the
Term/Expiration Date as set forth in the Notice of Grant), and subject to
earlier termination as set forth in Section 11(c).  Unless
otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination
Participant is not vested as to the entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unvested portion of the Option will terminate.  If after termination
Participant does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the
Option will terminate.

 

10.           Leaves of Absence.  Unless
the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of the Option granted hereunder
will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence.  Participant
will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence
approved by the Company, or (ii) transfers between locations of the
Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary.

 

11.           Adjustments; Dissolution or
Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

 

(a)           Adjustments.  In the
event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash,
Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split,
reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off,
combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the
Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting
the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to 

 

6

 

prevent diminution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
under the Option Agreement, will adjust the number, class, and price of Shares
covered by the Option.

 

(b)           Dissolution or Liquidation.  In
the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the
Administrator will notify Participant as soon as practicable prior to the
effective date of such proposed transaction.  To the extent an Option
has not been previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior
to the consummation of such proposed action.

 

(c)           Change in Control.  In
the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Option will be treated as the
Administrator determines, including, without limitation, that the Option will
be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or
a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation (the “Successor Corporation”).

 

In the event that the
Successor Corporation does not assume or substitute for the Option, Participant
will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all his or her outstanding
Option, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be vested
or exercisable.  In addition, if the Option is not assumed or
substituted for in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will
notify Participant in writing or electronically that the Option will be fully
vested and exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in
its sole discretion, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such
period.

 

For the purposes of this
subsection (c), the Option will be considered assumed if, following the Change
in Control, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share
subject to the Option immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration
(whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger
or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the
effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received
in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the Successor
Corporation, the Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor
Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of
an Option, for each Share subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of
the Successor Corporation equal in fair market value to the per share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

 

Notwithstanding anything
in this subsection (c) to the contrary, an Option that vests, is earned or
paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered
assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals
without Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such
performance goals only to reflect the Successor Corporation’s post-Change in
Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid
Option assumption.

 

12.           No Guarantee of Continued Service.  PARTICIPANT
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING
SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL
OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT)
AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THE OPTION OR ACQUIRING
SHARES HEREUNDER.  PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
THIS AWARD AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING
SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF
CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY
PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT
OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING
PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT
ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

 

13.          Address for Notices.  Any
notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Option Agreement will
be addressed to the Company, in care of its General Counsel at Copart, Inc.,
4665 Business Center Drive, Fairfield, California, 94534, or at such other
address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing.

14.           Non-Transferability of Option.  This
Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the
laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of
Participant only by Participant.

 

15.           Binding Agreement.  Subject
to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this
Option Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

16.           Additional Conditions to Issuance
of Stock.  If at any time the Company will determine, in its
discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon
any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or
approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as
a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate),
such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of
any conditions not acceptable to the Company.  The Company will make
all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal
law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any
such governmental authority.  Assuming such compliance, for income
tax purposes the Exercised Shares will be considered transferred to Participant
on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

 

17.           Administrator Authority.  The
Administrator will have the power to interpret this Option Agreement and to
adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of
the Option Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any
such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or
not any Shares subject to the Option have vested).  The Administrator
has full authority and discretion to administer this Option Agreement,
including but not limited to the authority to: (i) modify or amend the
Option (subject to Section 21 of this Option Agreement), including, but
not limited to, the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination
exercise period of the Option, (ii) authorize any person to execute on
behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant or amendment
of the Option previously granted or amended by the Administrator, and (iii) provide
for the transferability of the Option.  All actions taken and all
interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith will
be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested
persons.  No member of the Administrator will be personally liable
for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect
to this Option Agreement.

 

18.           Electronic Delivery.  The
Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to
the Option by electronic means or request Participant’s consent by electronic
means.  Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by
electronic delivery through any on-line or electronic system established and
maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

 

19.           Captions.  Captions
provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for
interpretation or construction of this Option Agreement.

 

20.           Agreement Severable.  In
the event that any provision in this Option Agreement will be held invalid or
unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or
unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining
provisions of this Option Agreement.

 

21.           Modifications to the Agreement.  This
Option Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the
subjects covered.  Participant expressly warrants that he or she is
not accepting this Option Agreement in reliance on any promises,
representations, or inducements other than those contained
herein.  Modifications to this Option Agreement can be made only in
an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the
Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Option
Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Option Agreement as it
deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of
Participant, to comply with Code Section 409A or to otherwise avoid
imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A
of the Code in connection to this Option.

 

22.           Governing Law.  This
Option Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California,
without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.  For
purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this Option or this Option
Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the
State of California, and agree that such litigation will be conducted in the
courts of Solano County, California, or the federal courts for the United
States for the Northern District of California, and no other courts, where this
Option is made and/or to be performed.
