                             FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE

                               ATHEROGENICS, INC.

                        4 1/2% CONVERTIBLE NOTE DUE 2008

      This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company,
designated as its 4 1/2% Convertible Notes Due 2008 (herein called the "NOTES"),
limited in aggregate principal amount to $100,000,000, issued and to be issued
under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of August 19, 2003 (herein called
the "INDENTURE"), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company of
Florida N.A., as trustee (herein called the "TRUSTEE"), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description
of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes.

      The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000. Upon due
presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal
aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof,
subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith.

      The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any
sinking fund and may not be redeemed at the option of the Company prior to
maturity.

      If a Designated Event occurs at any time prior to maturity of the Notes,
this Note will be redeemable at the option of the holder of this Note at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with
accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any to (but excluding) the
redemption date, as provided in Article 3 of the Indenture.

      Subject to compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, prior to the
close of business on the final maturity date of the Notes, the holder hereof has
the right, at its option, to convert each $1,000 principal amount of this Note
into 65.1890 shares (the "CONVERSION RATE") of the Company's Common Stock, as
such shares shall be constituted at the date of conversion and subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

                                       5
<PAGE>

      No adjustment in respect of interest on any Note converted or dividends on
any shares issued upon conversion of such Note will be made upon any conversion
except as set forth in the next sentence. If this Note (or portion hereof) is
surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any
record date for the payment of interest to the close of business on the Business
Day preceding the following interest payment date, this Note (or portion hereof
being converted) must be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds
or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest
otherwise payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being
converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) if the Company
has specified a redemption date following a Designated Event that is after a
record date and on or prior to the next interest payment date or (2) to the
extent of any overdue interest at the time of conversion with respect to this
Note.

      No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment
and payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of
any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of
any Note or Notes for conversion.

      A Note in respect of which a holder is exercising its right to require
redemption upon a Designated Event may be converted only if such holder
withdraws its Redemption Notice in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

      In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, on all Notes may be
declared by either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall
become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the
conditions provided in the Indenture.

      The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee,
with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any
manner the rights of the holders of the Notes, subject to the exceptions set
forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture. Subject to the provisions of the
Indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive
any past default or Event of Default, subject to the exceptions set forth in the
Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note (unless revoked
as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder
and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be
issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any
notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes.

      No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and
interest, on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in
the coin or currency herein prescribed.

conversion agent and any Note Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder
hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be
overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon
made by anyone other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of
receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, for the conversion hereof and
for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any other
authenticating agent nor any paying agent nor other conversion agent nor any
Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments
made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the extent of the
sum or sums paid, satisfy and discharge liability for monies payable on this
Note.

      No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest
on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and
no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company
in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the
creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any
incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary,
as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by
the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue
hereof, expressly waived and released.

      Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as
therein defined.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      This Employment Agreement is made as of April 25, 2005 (the "Effective
Date"), by and between ChoicePoint Inc., a Georgia corporation (together with
all the successors thereto, the "Employer" or "ChoicePoint") and Carol A.
DiBattiste, currently a resident of the State of Virginia (the "Executive").

                               STATEMENT OF TERMS

The parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.   EMPLOYMENT TERM

            (a)   Employer hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby
                  accepts employment by Employer, upon the terms and conditions
                  hereinafter set forth.

     2.   DUTIES

            (a)   Executive is hereby engaged as Chief Credentialing, Compliance
                  and Privacy Officer. Executive's duties are described on
                  Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Executive
                  shall perform and discharge the duties which may be assigned
                  to Executive from time to time in connection with the conduct
                  of the business of Employer. Employer may change Executive's
                  title and duties if: (i) Employer has concluded in its
                  reasonable judgment that such change is in Employer's best
                  interests, or (ii) Executive has failed to meet outlined
                  yearly performance standards and objectives. On an annual
                  basis, the parties shall mutually agree in writing to such
                  performance standards and objectives. Executive will be
                  subject to the day-to-day direction of ChoicePoint's Chief
                  Operating Officer ("ChoicePoint Executive"), but will report
                  ultimately to the Privacy Committee of ChoicePoint's Board of
                  Directors, and in the event of any conflict between directions
                  received from the ChoicePoint Executive and the Chair of the
                  Privacy Committee, the directions of the latter shall control.
                  Whenever in this Agreement the authority or direction of the
                  ChoicePoint Executive is referenced, it shall be subject to
                  the approval of the Privacy Committee, which shall be presumed
                  unless said Committee has informed the Executive otherwise in
                  writing.

            (b)   In addition to the duties specifically assigned to Executive,
                  Executive shall: (i) diligently follow and implement all
                  management policies and decisions communicated to Executive by
                  ChoicePoint Executive or the Board's Privacy Committee, as
                  described above; (ii) timely prepare and forward or cause to
                  be forwarded all reports and accountings relating to Employer
                  as may reasonably be requested of Executive; (iii) devote the
                  majority of Executive's time, energy and skill during regular
                  business hours to the diligent performance of Executive's
                  duties; and (iv) not devote any time or interest that
                  conflicts with the business of Employer or any of its
                  subsidiaries or affiliates.

            (c)   Executive shall have the right to make contracts binding on
                  the Company, to the extent consistent with the authorization
                  of the Company described in Exhibit A.

            (d)   All funds and property received by Executive on behalf of the
                  Company or any affiliate shall be received and held by
                  Executive in trust, and Executive shall account for and remit
                  all such funds to the Company.

     3.   COMPENSATION

            (a)   As compensation for services hereunder during the term of this
                  Agreement Employer shall pay to Executive a weekly salary of
                  Nine Thousand Six Hundred Fifteen and 38/100 Dollars
                  ($9,615.38) (the weekly "Base Salary"). The Base Salary shall
                  be paid in accordance with Employer's standard payroll
                  practices in effect from time to time. Executive's performance
                  shall be reviewed annually by the ChoicePoint Executive and
                  based upon such review, the Base Salary shall be subject to
                  increase from time to time in the sole discretion of Employer.

            (b)   Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual performance
                  bonus ("Bonus") based upon the operations and performance
                  results of ChoicePoint. Such Bonus shall accrue and be due and
                  payable annually on a calendar year basis in accordance with
                  the incentive compensation policies established by Employer in
                  its Incentive Compensation Plan and further described in
                  Exhibit B attached hereto. The bonus payable in accordance
                  with the provisions of said policies shall not be less than
                  Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) for 2005 and
                  Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) for 2006. Except as
                  otherwise provided in this Agreement, including the severance
                  compensation provisions of Section 3(d), such Bonus shall be
                  contingent upon Executive's continuous employment for the
                  calendar year in question.

            (c)   During the term of Executive's employment with Employer,
                  Executive shall be entitled to participate in such employee
                  benefit plans of Employer, as are available to other
                  executives of the Company with the same or similar position,
                  tenure, salary, age, health and other qualifications, subject
                  to the rules and regulations applicable thereto. The current
                  benefits plans and programs available to Executive are set
                  forth in the ChoicePoint Summary of Benefit Plans, and those
                  which are not described in such manual are described in this
                  Agreement, including Exhibit B attached hereto.

            (d)   In the event that Employer terminates Executive's employment
                  prior to April 24, 2008, except (i) in the event of
                  Termination With Cause as defined in section 4(e)(i) below, or
                  (ii) in the event of Executive's voluntary termination, then
                  Executive shall be entitled to receive, and ChoicePoint shall
                  pay, an amount equal to Executive's Base Salary and Bonus
                  calculated through the period ending April 24, 2008. Said
                  amount shall be paid in a lump sum no later than fifteen (15)
                  days after the effective date of a release signed by Executive
                  in favor of the Company. For the purposes of this provision,
                  the amount of Executive's Bonus for each calendar year shall
                  be one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the annual
                  equivalent of Executive's Base Salary at the time of the
                  termination. Said bonus will be prorated for any applicable
                  portion of a calendar year which is less than an entire
                  calendar year (e.g., 2008, if applicable).

            (e)   In the event that Executive voluntarily terminates her
                  employment prior to April 24, 2008, ChoicePoint will pay
                  Executive any accrued but unpaid Base Salary and other
                  remuneration owed for the period through the date of said
                  termination, but not thereafter.

            (f)   ChoicePoint's senior management shall recommend to the
                  Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors that
                  Executive receive a grant of twelve thousand (12,000) stock
                  options and three thousand (3,000) shares of restricted stock
                  in ChoicePoint, effective upon the date of grant (anticipated
                  to be April 28, 2005). Said grants shall be subject to the
                  terms of ChoicePoint's 2003 Omnibus Incentive Plan, provided
                  that senior

                                       2

<PAGE>

                  management shall also recommend that said grants will vest no
                  later than Executive's termination of employment, provided
                  that termination is not Termination With Cause as defined
                  below, nor voluntary on the part of Executive.

            (g)   Executive shall be eligible to participate in ChoicePoint's
                  relocation program according to its guidelines, including
                  reimbursement of (i) the sales commission paid on the sale of
                  Executive's current home in Virginia, (ii) the expense of two
                  round-trip visits from Virginia to Atlanta, Georgia, for
                  purposes of locating a home, (iii) relocation of Executive's
                  household goods to her new home in Georgia, and (iv) the cost
                  of temporary housing in Georgia, if needed, for a period not
                  to exceed sixty (60) days. Executive acknowledges the
                  condition of the relocation program that, if Executive
                  voluntarily terminates her employment within twelve (12)
                  months of her relocation, she will reimburse ChoicePoint the
                  full amount paid to her pursuant to the program as herein
                  described.

            (h)   Executive shall receive an additional bonus of One Hundred
                  Thousand Dollars ($100,000) conditioned upon her remaining in
                  the employ of ChoicePoint until April 25, 2006 (the "Signing
                  Bonus"). The Signing Bonus will be paid to Executive no later
                  than June 1, 2005. In the event that Executive voluntarily
                  terminates her employment prior to April 25, 2006, she will
                  repay to ChoicePoint no later than thirty (30) days after the
                  effective date of the voluntary termination, a lump sum equal
                  to a prorated portion of the Signing Bonus determined by
                  multiplying the sum of $8,333.33 by the number of months (or
                  any part of a month) remaining after subtracting the number of
                  months of her employment with ChoicePoint from twelve (12), in
                  accordance with the Bonus Agreement dated March 3, 2005,
                  attached as Exhibit D to this Agreement.

            (i)   During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled
                  to take four ( 4 ) weeks paid leave each year (prorated for
                  2005) provided however, that, at the end of each calendar
                  year, Executive shall forfeit all unused leave time.

            (j)   Executive shall be entitled to be reimbursed in accordance
                  with the policies of Employer, as adopted and amended from
                  time to time, for all reasonable and necessary expenses
                  incurred by Executive in the connection with Executive's
                  duties of employment hereunder; provided however, Executive
                  shall, as a condition of such reimbursement, submit
                  verification of the nature and amount of such expenses in
                  accordance with the reimbursement policies adopted from time
                  to time by Employer.

            (k)   The salary, incentives, and benefits set forth in this Section
                  3 shall be the only compensation payable to Executive with
                  respect to her employment hereunder, and Executive shall not
                  be entitled to any compensation in addition to that set forth
                  in this Section 3 for any services provided by Executive in
                  any capacity to Employer, any subsidiary or affiliate thereof.

            (l)   Employer may deduct from each payment of salary and other
                  compensation hereunder all amounts required to be deducted and
                  withheld in accordance with applicable federal and state
                  income, FICA and other withholding requirements.

            (m)   During the term of this Agreement, the only severance benefits
                  Executive shall be entitled to are set forth in Subsection
                  3(d) herein and subject to Section 4b below, and with respect
                  to employment following said term, as set forth in Subsection
                  3(n) herein.

                                       3
<PAGE>

            (n)   Following the Date of Expiration of this Agreement (defined
                  below) and in the event that it is not renewed or extended,
                  but Executive's employment by ChoicePoint nonetheless
                  continues without an agreement and in the event that
                  Executive's employment terminates (provided that Executive has
                  not voluntarily resigned nor been the subject of Termination
                  With Cause), Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump sum
                  severance payment upon termination of employment equal to the
                  sum of (a) fifty-two (52) weeks of then current Base Salary
                  and (b) a bonus payment equal to one hundred and twenty
                  percent (120%) of the amount determined in (a), payable
                  otherwise in accordance with and subject to the conditions of
                  (including the execution of a release in favor of ChoicePoint)
                  ChoicePoint's then existing Severance Policy. Said payment
                  shall be made no later than fifteen (15) days after the
                  effective date of said release. In the event that the amount
                  otherwise payable at said time under such circumstances
                  pursuant to ChoicePoint's Severance Policy is greater than the
                  amount calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence, said
                  greater amount will be paid to Executive. This severance
                  benefit shall not be payable if Executive's employment
                  terminates on a date which is more than three (3) years after
                  the Date of Expiration.

            (o)   (i) Any prior provision in this Section 3 to the contrary
                  notwithstanding, the right of Executive to participate in
                  ChoicePoint's Omnibus Incentive Plan, annual performance bonus
                  plan, Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and Supplemental
                  Executive Retirement Plan, and the terms and levels of such
                  participation, shall at all times be subject to the approval
                  of the Board of Directors of ChoicePoint or a committee or
                  individual authorized by it to approve or disapprove such
                  participation. In the event of any such change in the right of
                  Executive to participate in such plans or benefits, or in the
                  terms and levels of such participation, Executive shall
                  participate in any successor, alternative or amended plans,
                  upon such terms and participation levels as other ChoicePoint
                  executives of similar status, title and tenure.

                  (ii) Executive's participation in ChoicePoint's benefit plans
                  is subject to ChoicePoint's ability to modify, terminate or
                  amend said plans at any time, as provided therein.

      4.    TERM AND TERMINATION

            (a)   The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the Effective
                  Date and shall terminate at the end of business on April 24,
                  2008 (the "Date of Expiration"), unless earlier terminated
                  under provisions of this Section 4 below.

            (b)   If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Date of
                  Expiration by a Termination Without Cause, then Employer shall
                  pay to Executive the amount stated in Subsection 3 (d) above.

            (c)   If termination is a Termination With Cause, Employer shall not
                  be required to pay to Executive any severance amount.

            (d)   Employer, at its sole election, shall be entitled to terminate
                  the employment of Executive hereunder at any time if such is a
                  Termination With Cause or a Termination Without Cause. The
                  employment of Executive hereunder shall automatically
                  terminate in the event of death of Executive or a Total
                  Disability Termination.

                                       4

            (e)   As used in this Section 4, the following terms shall have the
                  meanings ascribed to them below:

                        (i)   "Termination With Cause" means termination of this
                              Agreement resulting from (A) conduct by Executive
                              amounting to intentional fraud or intentional
                              dishonesty, a felony conviction or an act of moral
                              turpitude; (B) willful misconduct, material
                              non-performance by Executive of her duties,
                              excessive absences by Executive other than for
                              illness, disability or vacation; (C) material
                              insubordination; or (D) gross or intentional
                              negligence of her duties; provided, however, that
                              Executive shall be given written notice by
                              Employer of any conduct (other than of the type
                              enumerated in (A) above) which Employer believes
                              constitutes grounds for Termination With Cause
                              under this subparagraph (e)(i) and subject to the
                              provisions of this Agreement, and Executive shall
                              have twenty (20) days to cure same.

                        (ii)  "Termination Without Cause" means a termination of
                              this Agreement by Employer which is not a
                              termination because of the death of Executive, a
                              termination With Cause, or a Total Disability
                              Termination. A Termination Without Cause shall
                              also be deemed to have occurred in the event that,
                              (A) a successor to Employer fails to agree in
                              writing, prior to a Change in Control (as defined
                              in Addendum A hereto), in a form reasonably
                              acceptable to the Executive, to assume and perform
                              this Agreement, or (B) following a Change in
                              Control, there is a material reduction or other
                              adverse change in Executive's duties or any
                              reduction in one or more components of Executive's
                              compensation and benefits as in existence
                              immediately prior to the Change in Control. In the
                              event of such a reduction or adverse change,
                              however, Executive shall first give Employer
                              written notice thereof, upon which Executive
                              proposes to base a Termination Without Cause, and
                              Employer shall have thirty (30) days after receipt
                              of such notice to cure said situation; if the
                              situation is not cured within said period, a
                              Termination Without Cause shall be deemed to have
                              occurred.

                        (iii) "Total Disability Termination" means a termination
                              of this Agreement by Employer because Executive is
                              unable to perform the essential functions of her
                              job with or without reasonable accommodation, as
                              determined by the circumstances, by reason of a
                              physical or mental impairment that substantially
                              limits one or more of her major life activities.

                        (iv)  "Voluntary Termination" means a termination of
                              this Agreement by Executive. Executive agrees to
                              give Employer four (4) weeks notice of any
                              Voluntary Termination.

            (e)   Upon the termination of Executive's employment hereunder by
                  reason of her death, or in the event of a Total Disability
                  Termination, Voluntary Termination or Termination With Cause,
                  Employer shall have no further obligation to Executive or her
                  personal representative with respect to this Agreement, except
                  for salary accrued up to the date of such termination and
                  unpaid at the date of such termination, plus

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  accrued and vested rights of Executive under any incentive
                  plan described in Section 3, and any other vested benefits
                  referred to in Section 3(c) and Exhibit B.

            (f)   The covenants and warranties of Executive in Sections 5, 6 and
                  7 and the obligations of Employer in this Section 4, shall
                  survive the termination of this Agreement and Executive's
                  employment hereunder and shall not be extinguished thereby.

      5.    CONFIDENTIALITY; EMPLOYEE NON-SOLICITATION

            (a)   Trade Secrets and Confidential Information.

                  (i)   All Proprietary Information (defined below), and all
                        materials containing them, received or developed by
                        Executive during the term of her employment by Employer
                        (in this Section 5, the term "Employer" refers
                        collectively to Employer and/or its affiliates) are
                        confidential to Employer, and will remain Employer's
                        property exclusively. Except as necessary to perform
                        Executive's duties for Employer, Executive will hold all
                        Proprietary Information in strict confidence, and will
                        not use, reproduce, disclose or otherwise distribute the
                        Proprietary Information, or any materials containing
                        them, and will take those actions reasonably necessary
                        to protect any Proprietary Information. Executive's
                        obligations regarding Trade Secrets (defined below) will
                        continue indefinitely, while Executive's obligations
                        regarding Confidential Information (defined below) will
                        cease two (2) years from the date of termination of
                        Executive's employment with Employer for any reason.

                  (ii)  "Trade Secret" means information, including, but not
                        limited to, technical and non-technical data, formulas,
                        patterns, designs, compilations, computer programs and
                        software, devices, inventions, methods, techniques,
                        drawings, processes, financial plans, product plans,
                        lists of actual or potential customers and suppliers,
                        research, development, existing and future products and
                        services, and employees of Employer which (A) derives
                        independent economic value, actual or potential, from
                        not being generally known to, and not being easily
                        ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can
                        obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and
                        (B) is the subject of Employer's efforts that are
                        reasonable under the circumstances to maintain secrecy;
                        or as otherwise defined by applicable state law.

                  (iii) "Confidential Information" means any and all knowledge,
                        information, data, methods or plans (other than Trade
                        Secrets) which are now or at any time in the future will
                        be developed, used or employed by Employer which are
                        treated as confidential by Employer and not generally
                        disclosed by Employer to the public, and which relate to
                        the business or financial affairs of Employer,
                        including, but not limited to, financial statements and
                        information, marketing strategies, business development
                        plans and product or process enhancement plans.

                  (iv)  "Proprietary Information" means collectively the
                        Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. Proprietary
                        Information also includes information that has been
                        disclosed to Employer by a third party that Employer is
                        obligated to treat as confidential or secret.

                  (v)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
                        Subsection 5(a), "Proprietary Information" does not
                        include any information that (A) is already known to
                        Executive at the time it is disclosed to Executive by
                        Employer; or (B) before being divulged by Executive (1)
                        has become generally known to the public through no
                        wrongful act of Executive; (2) has been rightfully
                        received by Executive from a third party without
                        restriction on disclosure and without breach of an
                        obligation of confidentiality running directly or
                        indirectly to Employer; (3) has been approved for
                        release to the general public by a written authorization
                        of Employer; (4) has been independently developed by
                        Executive without use, directly or indirectly, of the
                        Proprietary Information received from Employer; or (5)
                        has been furnished to a third party by Employer without
                        restrictions on the third party's right to disclose the
                        information.

                  (vi)  In the event Executive is required by any court or
                        legislative or administrative body (by oral questions,
                        interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
                        subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar process)
                        to disclose any Proprietary Information of Employer,
                        Executive shall provide Employer with prompt notice of
                        such requirement in order to afford Employer an
                        opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order.
                        However, if Employer is unable to obtain or does not
                        seek such protective order and Executive is, in the
                        opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose such
                        Proprietary Information under pain of liability for
                        contempt or other censure or penalty, disclosure of such
                        information may be made without liability.

                  (vii) Executive acknowledges that Employer is obligated under
                        federal and state credit reporting and similar laws and
                        regulations to hold in confidence and not disclose
                        certain information regarding individuals, firms or
                        corporations which is obtained or held by Employer, and
                        that Employer is required to adopt reasonable procedures
                        for protecting the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy
                        and proper utilization of consumer credit information.
                        In that regard, except as necessary to perform
                        Executive's duties for Employer, Executive will hold in
                        strict confidence, and will not use, reproduce, disclose
                        or otherwise distribute any information which Employer
                        is required to hold confidential under applicable
                        federal and state laws and regulations, including the
                        Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C.Section 1681
                        et. seq.) and any state credit reporting statutes.

            (b)   Employee Non-Solicitation. During the term of Executive's
                  employment by Employer and for two (2) years after Executive's
                  termination, Executive will not, either directly or
                  indirectly, on her behalf or on behalf of others, solicit for
                  employment or hire, or attempt to solicit for employment or
                  hire, any employee of Employer with whom Executive had regular
                  contact in the course of her employment or any employee of
                  Employer at any facility where Executive performed services
                  for Employer.

                                       7
<PAGE>

            (c)   Customer Non-Solicitation. During the term of Executive's
                  employment by Employer and for two (2) years after Executive's
                  termination, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, for
                  Executive or for any person, firm or employer, divert,
                  interfere with, disturb, or take away, or attempt to divert,
                  interfere with, disturb, or take away, the patronage of any
                  customers of Employer with which Executive had actual contact
                  during the term of Executive's employment by Employer.

            (d)   Return of Property. At Employer's request or on termination of
                  Executive's employment with Employer for any reason, Executive
                  will deliver promptly to Employer all property of Employer in
                  her possession or control, including, without limitation, all
                  Proprietary Information, all materials containing them, and
                  all originals and copies of all documents (whether in hard
                  copy or stored in electronic form) which relate to or were
                  prepared in the course of Executive's employment (including,
                  but not limited to, contracts, proposals or any information
                  concerning the identity of customers, services provided by
                  Executive and the pricing of these services).

            (e)   Remedies. Executive agrees that the covenants and agreements
                  contained in this Section 5 are of the essence of this
                  Agreement; that each of such covenants is reasonable and
                  necessary to protect and preserve the interests and properties
                  of Employer and the business of Employer; that immediate and
                  irreparable injury, loss and damage will be suffered by
                  Employer should Executive breach of any such covenants and
                  agreements; and that, in addition to other legal or equitable
                  remedies available to it (including but not limited to
                  damages, royalties and penalties pursuant to applicable law),
                  in recognition of the fact that Executive has special, unique,
                  unusual and extraordinary qualities that provides peculiar
                  value to Employer's business, Employer shall be entitled to
                  the remedies of injunction and/or specific performance, if
                  available, to prevent a breach or contemplated breach by
                  Executive of any of such covenants or agreements.

         6.   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

                                       8
<PAGE>

                        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 her election, either: (1) provide Employer
                        with a written description of the Invention on Exhibit C
                        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 6(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 immediately preceding
                        Subsection 6(a)(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 she owns no
                        patents, individually or jointly with others.

                  (vi)  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 6,
                        in no event shall Executive's assignment of any
                        Invention to Employer apply to an Invention that
                        Executive develops entirely on her own time during her
                        employment with Employer without using Employer's
                        equipment, supplies, facilities, Proprietary
                        Information, except for any Inventions that either: (A)
                        relate at the time of conception or reduction to
                        practice of the Invention to the Employer's business, or
                        to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
                        development of Employer; or (B) result from any work
                        performed by Executive for Employer.

      (b)   Copyrights.

            (i)   Executive agrees that any Works (defined below) created by
                  Executive in the course of performing Executive's duties as an
                  employee of Employer are subject to the "Work for Hire"
                  provisions contained in Sections 101 and 201 of the United
                  States Copyright Law, Title 17 of the United States Code. All
                  right, title and interest to copyrights in all Works which
                  have been or will be prepared by Executive within the scope of
                  Executive's employment with Employer will be the property of
                  Employer. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that, to
                  the extent the provisions of Title 17 of the United States
                  Code do not vest in Employer the copyrights to any such Works,
                  Executive shall assign and hereby does assign to Employer all
                  right, title and interest to copyrights which Executive may
                  have in such Works.

            (ii)  Executive agrees to promptly disclose to Employer all Works
                  referred to in the immediately preceding Subsection and
                  execute and deliver all applications for registration,
                  registrations, and other documents relating to the copy rights
                  to such Works and provide such additional assistance, as
                  Employer may deem necessary and desirable to secure Employer's
                  title to the copyrights in such Works. Employer shall be
                  responsible for all expenses incurred in connection with the
                  registration of all such copyrights.

            (iii) Executive hereby represents to Employer that she claims no
                  ownership rights in any Works, except those described on
                  Exhibit C attached hereto.

      (c)   Section 6 Definitions. As used in this Section 6, the following
            terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:

            (i)   "Company Invention" means any Invention which is conceived by
                  Executive alone or in a joint effort with others during
                  Executive's employment by Employer which (A) may be reasonably
                  expected to be used in a product or service of Employer, or a
                  product or service similar to a product or service of
                  Employer; (B) results from work that Executive has been
                  assigned as part of her duties as an employee of Employer; (C)
                  is in an area of technology which is the same or substantially
                  related to the areas of technology with which Executive is
                  involved in the performance of Executive's duties as an
                  employee of Employer; or (D) is useful, or which Executive
                  reasonably expects may be useful, in any manufacturing,
                  product or service design process of Employer.

            (ii)  "Invention" means any discovery, whether or not patentable,
                  including, but not limited to, any useful idea, invention,
                  improvement, innovation, design, process, method, formula,
                  technique, machine, manufacture, composition of matter,
                  algorithm or computer program, as well as improvements
                  thereto, which is new or which Executive has a reasonable
                  basis to believe may be new.

            (iii) "Works" means a copyrightable work of authorship, including
                  without limitation, any technical descriptions for products,
                  services, user's guides, illustrations, advertising materials,
                  computer programs (including the contents of read only
                  memories) and any contribution to such materials.

      (d)   Statutory Notice. In accordance with Section 2872 of the California
            Labor Code, Executive is hereby notified that the provisions of this
            Section 6 requiring assignment of certain Inventions to Employer do
            not, in any event, apply to any invention which qualifies under the
            provisions of Section 2870 of such Code. Section 2870(a) of the
            California Labor Code provides as follows:

      Section 2870. Inventions on Own Time - Exemption from Agreement

      (a)   Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an
            employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights
            in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an
            invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own
            time without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities,
            or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

                  (i) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice
                  of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or
                  demonstrably anticipated research or development of the
                  employer; or

                  (ii) Result from any work performed by the employee for the
                  employer.

                                       10

         7.   INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. Employer agrees that it will
              indemnify and hold Executive harmless from and against any and all
              liability sustained by Executive in a consequence of her good
              faith actions, or failure to act, in the performance of her duties
              hereunder. This indemnification is subject to and limited by the
              provisions of Employer's corporate By-Laws and the laws of the
              State of Georgia, as they may be amended from time to time. In
              addition, and as further security for this agreement (but not to
              create any duplication of reimbursement), Employer will maintain
              Directors and Officers Liability Insurance with a reputable
              insurer.

        8.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EXECUTIVE. Executive hereby
              represents and warrants to Employer that:

                  (a)   Executive is not subject to any restriction contained in
                        any agreement, court order or otherwise, including
                        without limitation any agreement with a prior employer
                        or other principal, against entering into this Agreement
                        or performing in accordance with its terms.

                  (b)   Executive has not provided Employer with any Proprietary
                        Information of any third party, without appropriate
                        authorization to do so.

        9.   REMEDIES

                  (a)   Executive agrees that the covenants and agreements
                        contained in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement are of
                        the essence of this Agreement; that each of such
                        covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect and
                        preserve the interests and properties of ChoicePoint and
                        the business of ChoicePoint; that ChoicePoint is engaged
                        in and throughout the United States in the Business
                        ChoicePoint; that irreparable loss and damage will be
                        suffered by ChoicePoint should Executive breach any of
                        such covenants and agreements; and that, in addition to
                        other remedies available to it, ChoicePoint shall be
                        entitled to both temporary and permanent injunctions to
                        prevent a breach or contemplated breach by Executive of
                        any of such covenants or agreements.

       10.  DISPUTES. In the event that (a) Employer breaches this Agreement, or
            (b) Executive is terminated by the Employer Without Cause, Employer
            shall reimburse Executive for all legal fees and expenses (if any)
            reasonably incurred by Executive in seeking to obtain or enforce any
            right or benefit provided by this Agreement, but only if Executive
            prevails in any court action involving same.

       11.  NOTICES

            (a)   All notices, requests, demands and other communications
                  required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to

       12.  MISCELLANEOUS

            (a)   Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned only to
                  ChoicePoint's affiliates and successors in interest and shall
                  inure to the benefit of and may be binding upon such
                  affiliates or successors. Neither this Agreement nor any right
                  of Executive hereunder may be assigned by Executive (or her
                  legal representative, if applicable), nor may Executive in any
                  way delegate the performance of her covenants and obligations
                  hereunder. Any attempted assignment by Executive shall be
                  void.

            (b)   Waiver. The waiver by the Company of any breach of this
                  Agreement by Executive 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.

            (c)   Entire Agreement. This Agreement and Exhibits A, B, C & D
                  attached hereto embody the entire agreement of the parties
                  hereto relating to the employment by ChoicePoint of Executive
                  in the capacity herein stated. This Agreement shall supersede
                  all prior written or oral understandings or agreements.

            (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 hereinabove
                  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)   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.

            (g)   Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the parties
                  hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance
                  with the laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect
                  to its conflicts of laws provisions.

                                   Addendum A

"Change in Control" means if, at any time, any of the following events shall
have occurred:

            (i)   The Employer is merged or consolidated or reorganized into or
                  with another corporation or other legal person, and as a
                  result of such merger, consolidation or reorganization, less
                  than a majority of the combined voting power of the
                  then-outstanding securities of such corporation or person
                  immediately after such transaction is held in the aggregate by
                  the holders of Voting Shares immediately prior to such
                  transaction;

            (ii)  The Employer sells or otherwise transfers all or substantially
                  all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal
                  person, and as a result of such sale or transfer less than a
                  majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding
                  securities of such corporation or person immediately after
                  such sale or transfer is held in the aggregate by the holders
                  of Voting Shares immediately prior to such sale or transfer;

            (iii) There is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 (or
                  any successor schedule, form, or report), each as promulgated
                  pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
                  Act"), disclosing that any person (as the term "person" is
                  used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange
                  Act) has become the beneficial owner (as the term "beneficial
                  owner" is defined under Rule 13d-3 or any successor rule or
                  regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act) of securities
                  representing thirty (30%) percent or more of the Voting
                  Shares;

            (iv)  Employer files a report or proxy statement with the Securities
                  and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act
                  disclosing in response to Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any
                  successor schedule, form or report or item therein) that a
                  change in control of the Employer has or may have occurred or
                  will or may occur in the future pursuant to any then-existing
                  contract or transaction, provided, that a Change in Control
                  will not be deemed to have occurred if a potential change in
                  control disclosed in such filing does not in fact occur; or

            (v)   If during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals
                  who at the beginning of any such period constitute the
                  Directors of the Employer cease for any reason to constitute
                  at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the
                  nomination for election by the Employer's shareholders, of
                  each Director of the Employer first elected during such period
                  was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors
                  of the Employer then still in office who were Directors of the
