                                performance of Executive's duties of employment
                                hereunder; provided, however, Executive shall,

                                (except as provided in Sections 4(c), 4(e) and
                                5 hereof), and Executive shall not be entitled
                                to receive any compensation in addition to that

                                its affiliates.  Employer or affiliate may

                                withheld in accordance with applicable federal

                 (a)            Termination by Employer.  Employer, at its sole
                                election and by written notice to Executive,
                                shall have the right to terminate the Agreement
                                and Executive's employment hereunder at any
                                time during or immediately after expiration of
                                the Initial Term or any additional term,
                                whether such termination is a Termination With
                                Cause or a Termination Without Cause.

                 (b)            Termination by Executive.  Executive, at his
                                sole election and by written notice to
                                Employer, shall have the right to terminate the
                                Agreement and Executive's employment hereunder
                                at any time during the Initial Term or any
                                additional term whether such termination is a
                                Constructive Termination or a Voluntary
                                Resignation.  In the event Executive takes the
                                position that a Constructive Termination has
                                occurred, Executive shall so notify Employer of
                                such position in writing within thirty (30)
                                days of the occurrence of the event Executive
                                relies on for such Constructive Termination
                                determination.  Executive shall specify the
                                event upon which Executive relies and specify
                                in reasonable detail the facts and
                                circumstances claimed to provide the basis for
                                the Constructive Termination.

                 (c)            Automatic Termination.  The Agreement and
                                Executive's employment hereunder shall
                                automatically terminate on the date of the
                                Executive's death or twenty-four (24) months
                                following the first day of Executive's

                                continuous absence due to his condition that
                                triggers his Total Disability.  Except as
                                provided in this subsection (c), Employer shall
                                have no further obligation to Executive or his
                                heirs or legal representatives with respect to
                                this Agreement.

                                (i)  Death.  In the event of the death of the
                                     Executive, Employer shall pay to
                                     Executive's designated beneficiary or
                                     beneficiaries, or if there is no designated
                                     beneficiary, to his estate (A) any Base
                                     Salary, benefits, and other compensation
                                     accrued and vested as of the date of death
                                     and remaining unpaid at the Executive's

                                     benefits payable under Employer's qualified
                                     and non-qualified benefit plans pursuant to
                                     the terms and provisions of such plans, (D)
                                     life insurance, at Employer's expense
                                     consistent with Employer's Basic Life
                                     Insurance Plan in addition to the amount
                                     specified on Exhibit B and (E) any other
                                     benefits and perquisites specified on
                                     Exhibit B. Such amounts shall be paid as
                                     soon as practicable following the
                                     Executive's death in accordance with
                                     applicable plans, policies or programs.

                                (ii) Total Disability.  In the event of the
                                     Executive's Total Disability, Employer
                                     shall pay the Executive (A) any Base
                                     Salary, benefits, and other compensation
                                     accrued and vested as of the date of Total
                                     Disability and remaining unpaid as of the
                                     Executive's Total Disability, (B)
                                     short-term disability benefits consistent
                                     with Employer's disability policy;
                                     provided, such payments in no event shall
                                     be less than one hundred (100%) percent of
                                     Base Salary until the earlier of the end of
                                     Executive's period of Total Disability or
                                     six (6) months and (C) any other benefits
                                     and perquisites specified on Exhibit B. If
                                     the Executive's Total Disability continues
                                     after the end of the expiration of six (6)
                                     months, Employer shall pay Executive
                                     long-term disability benefits consistent
                                     with Employer's disability policy; such
                                     benefits in no event shall be less than
                                     those set forth on Exhibit B.

                 (d)            Termination Without Payments.  If this
                                Agreement is terminated during the Initial Term
                                or any additional term by Executive's (1)
                                Voluntary Resignation or (2) Termination With
                                Cause, Employer shall have no further
                                obligation to Executive or his heirs or legal
                                representatives with respect to this Agreement,
                                except for Base Salary, benefits, and other
                                compensation accrued and vested up to the date
                                of such termination and remaining unpaid as of
                                the Date of Termination.

                 (e)            Termination With Payments.  If this Agreement
                                is terminated during the Initial Term or any
                                additional term by either (1) a Constructive
                                Termination or (2) a Termination Without Cause,
                                then Employer shall pay to Executive the
                                Severance Benefits calculated in this
                                Subsection (e); provided, however, that

                                Executive shall not be entitled to receive any
                                such severance payments until and unless
                                Executive executes and delivers to Employer
                                within thirty (30) days after the Date of
                                Termination the Release set forth herein as
                                Exhibit C, and such Release becomes effective
                                and irrevocable.  Unless Employer and Executive
                                mutually agree to an alternative method of
                                payments, such Severance Benefits shall be paid
                                by Employer to Executive in a lump sum, and
                                shall be paid as soon as practicable following
                                the Effective Date of the Release but in no
                                event later than 15 days after such Effective
                                Date.

                 Severance Benefits.

                                (i)  Employer shall pay Executive all Base
                                     Salary, benefits and other compensation
                                     accrued as of Executive's Date of
                                     Termination but which remains unpaid as of
                                     his Date of Termination.

                                (ii) The Employer shall pay Executive an amount
                                     equal to the total amount that would have
                                     resulted from the continuance of
                                     Executive's Total Direct Compensation for
                                     the period commencing on the Date of
                                     Termination and continuing for a period of
                                     _________ years; provided, such severance
                                     amount shall not be less than the benefits
                                     Executive is entitled to under the
                                     Employer's Severance Pay Plan, if any.
                                     Additionally, Employer shall pay to
                                     Executive the value of the Employer
                                     contributions to all of Employer's
                                     qualified and non-qualified retirement
                                     plans for the year in which Executive's
                                     termination occurs.  The benefits provided
                                     under the Employer's Severance Pay Plan are
                                     not duplicative of benefits provided under
                                     this Agreement.

                 (f)            Definitions.  The terms used in this Section 4,
                                shall have the meanings set forth in Section 10
                                hereof.

         5.      Change in Control.

                 (a)            Assumption of Agreement.  In the event of a
                                Change in Control, Employer will require any
                                successor of the Employer, by agreement in form
                                and substance, expressly to assume and agree to
                                perform this Agreement.  Failure of Employer to
                                obtain such agreement prior to the effective
                                date of the Change of Control shall be a breach
                                of this Agreement and shall constitute a Good
                                Reason Resignation.

                 (b)            Term.  This Change in Control Provision shall
                                become effective on the Effective Date and
                                shall continue for a period of five (5) years
                                thereafter (the "Change in Control Term");
                                provided, however, that commencing on the first
                                anniversary of the Effective Date and each
                                anniversary thereafter, the Change in Control
                                Term shall automatically be extended for one
                                (1) additional year, unless at least sixty (60)
                                days prior to any such anniversary date,
                                Employer

<PAGE>   7

                                shall have given Executive written notice of
                                the intention not to extend the Change in
                                Control Provision.  The Change in Control term
                                shall expire upon the Executive's date of
                                termination.

                 (c)            Severance Benefits.  In the event that (i)
                                Executive is employed by Employer as of  the
                                effective date of a Change In Control and
                                Employer fails to obtain the assumption of
                                agreement to perform this Agreement by
                                Employer's successor prior to the Change in
                                Control or (ii) Executive is employed by
                                Employer at the time of a Change in Control and
                                the Executive's employment with the Employer
                                terminates during the Change in Control Term on
                                account of Good Reason Resignation, then
                                Executive shall be entitled to the Severance
                                Benefits specified in Subsection (f).

                 (d)            Notice Requirement.  In the event Executive
                                takes the position that a Good Reason
                                Resignation  has occurred, Executive shall so
                                notify Employer of such position in writing
                                within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of the
                                event Executive relies on for such Good Reason
                                Resignation determination.  Executive shall

                                circumstances claimed to provide the basis for
                                the Good Reason Resignation.

                                on account of a Voluntary Resignation that does
                                not constitute a Good Reason Resignation,
                                Employer shall not be required to make any
                                payment referred to in this Section 5 to which

                                the event of a Change in Control, except for
                                Base Salary, benefits, and any other
                                compensation arrangements which the Executive

                                remains unpaid as of his Date of Termination.
                                These earned but unpaid amounts shall be paid
                                to Executive as soon as practicable following

                                     Executive's Total Direct Compensation
                                     multiplied by _________ and (B) the

                                after-tax position that he would have been in
                                had no excise tax become due and payable under

                                       any Proprietary Information. Executive's

                                (vii)  Executive acknowledges that Employer is
                                       obligated under federal and state fair
                                       credit reporting and similar laws and

                                       for Employer, Executive will hold in

                                       regulations, including the federal Fair

         7.      Inventions.

                 (a)            Generally.

                                (i)    Executive agrees that all Company
                                       Inventions (defined below) conceived or
                                       first reduced to practice by Executive
                                       during Executive's employment by Employer
                                       and all copyrights and other rights to
                                       such Company Inventions shall become the
                                       property of Employer. Executive hereby
                                       irrevocably assigns to Employer all of
                                       Executive's rights to all Company
                                       Inventions.

                                (ii)   Executive agrees that if Executive
                                       conceives an Invention (defined below)
                                       during Executive's employment with
                                       Employer for which there is a reasonable
                                       basis to believe that the conceived
                                       Invention is a Company Invention,
                                       Executive shall promptly provide a
                                       written description of the conceived
                                       Invention to Employer adequate to allow
                                       evaluation thereof for a determination as
                                       to whether the Invention is a Company
                                       Invention.

                                (iii)  If, upon commencement of Executive's
                                       employment with Employer under this
                                       Agreement, Executive has previously
                                       conceived any Invention or acquired any
                                       ownership interest in any Invention,
                                       which: (A) is Executive's property, or
                                       of which Executive is a joint owner with
                                       another person or entity; (B) is not
                                       described in any issued patent as of the
                                       Effective Date; and (C) would be a
                                       Company Invention if such Invention was
                                       made while Executive is an employee of
                                       Employer, then Executive shall, at his
                                       election, either:  (1) provide Employer
                                       with a written description of the
                                       Invention on Exhibit D attached hereto,
                                       in which case the written description
                                       (but no rights to the Invention) shall
                                       become the property of Employer; or (2)
                                       provide Employer with a license as
                                       specified in subsection 7(a)(iv) of this
                                       Agreement.

                                (iv)   If Executive has previously conceived or
                                       acquired any ownership interest in an
                                       Invention described by the criteria set
                                       forth in the

                                       (iii) and Executive elects not to
                                       disclose such Invention to Employer as
                                       provided therein, then Executive hereby
                                       grants to Employer a nonexclusive, paid
                                       up, royalty-free license to use and
                                       practice such Invention.

                                (v)    Executive hereby represents to Employer
                                       that he owns no patents, individually or
                                       jointly with others.

                                (vi)   Notwithstanding any other provision in
                                       this Section 7, in no event shall
                                       Executive's assignment of any Invention
                                       to Employer apply to an Invention that
                                       Executive develops entirely on his own
                                       time during his employment with Employer
                                       without using Employer's equipment,

                                       or to actual or demonstrably anticipated
                                       research or development of Employer; or

                                reduced because of any other benefits to which
                                the Employee may be entitled by reason of his
                                continuing employment with the Employer or the
                                termination of his employment with the

                 (c)            Waiver.  The waiver by one party of any breach
                                of this Agreement by the other party shall not
                                be effective unless in writing, and no such
                                waiver shall constitute the waiver of the same
                                or another breach on a subsequent occasion.

                 (d)            Amendment.  This Agreement may not be modified,
                                amended, supplemented, or terminated except by
                                a written instrument executed by the parties
                                hereto.

                 (e)            Severability.  Each of the covenants and
                                agreements herein above contained shall be
                                deemed separate, severable and independent
                                covenants, and in the event that any covenant
                                shall be declared invalid by any court of
                                competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall
                                not in any manner affect or impair the validity
                                or enforceability of any other part or
                                provision of such covenant or of any other
                                covenant contained herein.  If a court of
                                competent jurisdiction shall determine that any
                                provision contained in this Agreement, or any
                                part thereof, is unenforceable for any reason,
                                the parties hereto authorize such court to
                                reduce the duration or scope of such provision,
                                or otherwise modify such provision, so that
                                such provision in its reduced or modified form
                                will be enforceable.

                 (f)            Legal Fees.  In the event (1) the Employer
                                breaches this Agreement, (2) the Executive is
                                terminated by the Employer other than for
                                Cause, or (3) the Executive terminates his
                                employment for Good Reason or on account of a
                                Constructive Termination, the Employer shall
                                reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and
                                expenses reasonably incurred by the Executive
                                as a result of such termination, including all
                                fees and expenses, if any, incurred in
                                contesting or disputing any such termination or
                                in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or
                                benefit provided by this Agreement.

                 (g)            Captions and Section Headings.  Captions and
                                section headings used herein are for
                                convenience only and are not a part of this
                                Agreement and shall not be used in construing
                                it.

                                GENERAL RELEASE


THIS GENERAL RELEASE ("Release") is entered into on the date(s) signed below by
and between ChoicePoint Inc. or a subsidiary of ChoicePoint Inc. ("Employer"), a
Georgia corporation, and <<Name>> ("Executive").

                                    RECITALS

     A.  Employer and Executive have entered into an Employment and
         Compensation Agreement ("the Agreement").

     B.  Section 4 (e) of the Agreement provides that Executive is eligible for
         severance benefits only if, among other conditions, Executive executes
         and delivers the Release to Employer within 30 days after termination
         of employment, and the Release becomes effective and irrevocable.

     C.  Executive has terminated employment with Employer under one of the
         circumstances set forth in Section 4 of the Agreement which otherwise
         entitles Executive to receive benefits ("Severance Benefits") under
         the Agreement.

     D.  Executive desires to qualify for benefits offered under the Agreement
         by executing the Release.

     E.  In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, Employer and
         Executive agree as follows:

         1.   Consideration.  In consideration for Executive's agreement to
              release all claims described in paragraph 2 below, Executive will
              receive the Severance Benefits specified in the Agreement.
              Executive acknowledges that, but for execution of this Release,
              Executive would not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits.
              The amount, timing and form of payment of Severance Benefits
              shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. This
              Release will continue in force and effect even if some portion of
              the Severance Benefits provided under the Agreement is returned
              to Employer as a result of Executive's reemployment in any
              salaried capacity by Employer or any of its affiliates.

         2.   Release.  As consideration for the Severance Benefits extended to
              Executive under the terms of the Agreement and this Release,
              benefits to which Executive acknowledges that Executive would not
              otherwise be entitled, Executive agrees for Executive,
              Executive's heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
              assigns to forever release and discharge Employer and its
              subsidiaries, related companies, successors and assigns,
              officers, directors,





                                       1

              agents, executives, and former executives from any and all
              claims, debts, promises, agreements, demands, causes of actions,
              losses and expenses of every nature whatsoever known or unknown,
              suspected or unsuspected, filed or unfiled, arising prior to the
              Acceptance Date of this Release, or arising out of or in
              connection with Executive's employment by and of Employer and any
              affiliate of Employer.  This total release includes, but is not

              breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;
              intentional infliction of emotional harm; wrongful discharge;
              violation of public policy; defamation; invasion of privacy,
              impairment of economic opportunity; negligent infliction of
              emotional distress; or any other tort; any claims for punitive,
              compensatory, and retaliatory discharge damages, back or front
              pay claims and fringe benefits; attorney's fees; the Civil Rights
              Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. section 1981, as amended; Title VII of the
              Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. section 2000(e) et seq., as
              amended; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29

              Workers' Benefit Protection Act, 42 U.S.C. section 621 et seq.,
              the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. section
              12101 et seq., as amended; the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C.
              section 3729, et seq., as amended; or any other federal, state,
              or municipal statute or ordinance or common law claim relating to
              discrimination in employment or otherwise regulating the
              employment relationship, or regulating the health or safety of
              the work place. This Release does not extend to unpaid accrued
              vacation available, vested pension benefits (including, without
              limitation, benefits under Employer's qualified retirement and
              non-qualified deferred compensation plans) unemployment
              compensation claims, or workers' compensation claims.

              If Executive is subject to the laws of the state of Alaska,
              Hawaii, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, or California this total
              Release also includes any claims under the State of Alaska Human
              Rights Acts, AS 18.18.200 et seq., AS 23.10.015 - 23.10.440, AS
              23.40; Hawaii Revised Statutes Section  378 et seq.; Pennsylvania
              Human Relations Act; and West Virginia Human Rights Act, W VA C.
              77-6-1 et seq. The telephone number of the West Virginia State
              Bar Association is 1-800-642-3617 and Executive is advised to
              consult an attorney prior to executing this Agreement.

              Executive subject to California law expressly waives any and all
              rights or benefits conferred by the provisions of California
              Civil Code section 1542, which provides:

              "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
              does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
              executing the release, which if known by him must have materially
              affected his settlement with the debtor."

         3.   No Pending or Future Lawsuits.  Executive represents that
              Executive has no lawsuits, claims or actions pending in
              Executive's name, or on behalf of any other person or entity,
              against Employer or any other person or entity referred to
              herein.  Executive also represents that Executive does not intend
              to bring any new or different claims on Executive's own behalf or
              on behalf of any other person or entity against Employer and/or
              its subsidiaries, related companies, successors and assigns,
              officers, directors, agents, executives and former executives.
              Moreover, Executive hereby promises, warrants, represents and
              covenants that Executive will file no claim, lawsuit, or other
              action on Executive's or any other person or entity's behalf
              against Employer and/or any other person or entity referred to
              herein based on any actions taken, circumstances, consequences,
              or conduct occurring during Executive's employment by and leaving
              of Employer and/or any affiliate of Employer. Executive
              understands that the consideration set forth in this Release
              constitutes the sole sums Executive can recover from Employer
              and/or any other person or entity referred to herein for any
              litigation arising from actions taken, circumstances,
              consequences, and/or conduct that occurred during Executive's
              employment by and/or leaving of Employer and/or any affiliate of
              Employer.  Executive agrees that Executive will not seek or apply
              for reemployment, employment, or independent contractor status
              with Employer, other than upon the request of Employer.

         4.   Covenant Not to Sue.  Executive agrees that Executive will not
              file any action, or suit contesting the legality of the ending of
              Executive's employment or the validity of this Release or
              attempting to negate, modify, or reform this Release. Executive
              warrants and represents that Executive has not assigned or in any
              way conveyed, transferred or encumbered all or any portion of the
              claims or rights covered by this Release.

         5.   Enforcement of Agreement.  The parties hereto agree that each
              provision of this Release is a material provision and that
              failure of any party to perform any one provision hereof shall be
              the basis for voiding the entire Release at the option of the
              other party, or for pursuing an action at law for such breach.
              Any party may waive or excuse the failure of any other party to
              perform any provision of this Release, provided, however, that
              any such waiver shall not preclude the enforcement of this
              Release upon any subsequent breach, whether or not similar in
              character, to any waived breach. Upon any breach by Executive,
              Employer may cease any future payments. The parties further agree
              that in the event that suit is instituted to enforce any of the
              rights of the parties to this Release, the prevailing party in
              such litigation shall be entitled, as additional damages, to
              reasonably incurred attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the
              enforcement of this Release.

         6.   Effective Date of Release.  Executive is entitled to review and
              consider this Release for twenty-one (21) calendar days following
              the date of receipt of the Release (the "Receipt Date") before
              signing and returning this Release to





                                       3
<PAGE>   28

              Employer.  If Executive does not accept the terms of this Release
              in writing and deliver the executed Release to Employer within
              twenty-one (21) days following the Receipt Date, no Severance
              Benefits will be payable to the Executive under the Agreement.
              For a period of seven (7) calendar days following the date of
              Executive's execution of this Release (the "Acceptance Date"),
              Executive may revoke this Release ("Revocation Period").
              Executive may revoke this Release only by giving Employer formal,
              written notice of Executive's revocation of this Release to the
              name and address set forth in paragraph (c) of Section 12 of this
              Release, to be received by Employer by the close of business on
              the seventh (7th) day following Executive's execution of this
              Release (or fifteen (15) days if Executive is subject to the laws
              of the state of Minnesota). This Release shall not become
              effective in any respect until the Revocation Period has expired
              without notice of revocation.  In the absence of Executive's
              revocation of this Release, the eighth (8th) day after
              Executive's execution of this Release shall be the "Effective
              Date" of this Release, at which time the rights of all parties
              under this Release become fully enforceable.

         7.   Performance of Release.  Each of the parties signing this Release
              warrants and represents that he/she/it shall execute and deliver
              any and all instruments, agreements, documents or other writings,
              and shall perform all other acts deemed to be necessary to effect
              the terms and purposes of this Release.

         8.   Other Releases.  This Release constitutes a single, integrated,
              written contract expressing the entire understanding between the
              parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No covenants,
              agreements, representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever,
              whether oral, written or implied, have been made by any party
              hereto, except as specifically set forth in this Release. All
              prior discussions, agreements, understandings and negotiations
              have been and are merged and integrated into, and are superseded
              by, this Release with respect to the subject matter hereof.
              However, the provision of any written agreements between Employer
              and the Executive which by their terms continue beyond the ending
              of employment, shall continue in full force and effect and shall
              not be affected by the terms of this Release.

         9.   Modification.  No cancellation, modification, amendment,
              deletion, addition, or other changes in this Release or any
              provision hereof or waiver of any right herein provided shall be
              effective for any purpose unless specifically set forth in a
              written agreement signed by both Executive and an authorized
              representative of Employer.

         10.  Construction and Severability.  In the event that any provision
              of this Release shall be held to be void, voidable, or
              unenforceable, the remaining portions hereof shall remain in full
              force and effect. The parties agree and intend that no provision
              of this Release should be considered in a legal or agency





                                       4
<PAGE>   29

              proceeding to be void, voidable or unenforceable if it can be
              interpreted or modified to read in a way that is legal and
              enforceable.

         11.  Acknowledgment:  Executive warrants and represents to Employer as
              follows:

              (a)       Executive has had ample time to review all of the
                        provisions of this Release and fully understands
                        it and the choices with respect to advisability of
                        making the Release provided herein.

              (b)       Executive has been encouraged by Employer to review
                        all of the provisions of this Release with independent
                        legal counsel and other advisors, and has had the
                        opportunity to pursue such a review.

              (c)       Executive acknowledges that Executive has entered into
                        this Release by Executive's free will and choice
                        without any compulsion, duress, or undue influence from
                        anyone.

              (d)       Executive does not have any actions pending against
                        Employer and/or its subsidiaries, related companies,
                        successors and assigns, officers, directors, agents,
                        Executives and former Executives, that address claims
                        that are released under the terms of this Release, and
                        that no such claims will be filed during the Revocation
                        Period of this Release without the formal notification
                        of Executive's revocation of this Release.

              (e)       Executive understands that if Executive is re-employed
                        by Employer, any unpaid Severance Benefits will
                        not be paid. If Severance Benefits are paid in a lump
                        sum and Executive is rehired, Executive must repay the
                        portion of the Severance Benefits attributable to the
                        period of time after his reemployment date. If Executive
                        is rehired at a lower base salary than in effect
                        immediately prior to commencement of the severance
                        period, the difference between the Severance Benefits
                        attributable to base salary and the lower base salary
                        will continue to be paid to Executive through the
                        severance period.

              (f)       Executive understands that if Executive has a loan
                        from Employer, is in possession of Employer
                        property, or is otherwise indebted to Employer, no
                        Severance Benefits will be paid until arrangements have
                        been made regarding these obligations. If satisfactory
                        arrangements are not made, such obligations to Employer
                        will be deducted from Executive's Severance Benefits.

         12.  Notice.

              (a)       This Release, and any revocation of this Release or
                        other required communication, shall be deemed to be
                        delivered to and received by Employer at the address set
