                      EMPLOYMENT AND COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

         THIS EMPLOYMENT AND COMPENSATION AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time, this "Agreement") is made as of
April 25, 2002 (the "Effective Date"), between ChoicePoint Inc., a Georgia
corporation (together with all successors thereto, "Employer"), and David T.
Lee, a resident of the State of Georgia ("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 subject
                      to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

              (b)     The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the
                      Effective Date and shall continue for a period of 3 years
                      until the close of business on April 25, 2005 (the
                      "Initial Term"), unless renewed as specified herein or
                      terminated earlier under Section 4 or Section 5 hereof.
                      If the Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to
                      Section 4, the term of this Agreement shall be
                      automatically extended for 2 years until the close of
                      business on April 25, 2007 (the "Renewal Term").  After
                      the Initial Term, the Renewal Term, including any
                      additional term mutually agreed to by the Employer and
                      the Executive, Executive understands that, unless the
                      events triggering Section 5 have not occurred, Executive:
                      (i) will be deemed to be an employee at will and (ii)
                      hereby agrees, to the extent his employment is to
                      continue after the expiration of the Agreement, to enter
                      into, prior to the expiration of the Agreement, such
                      reasonable employee confidentiality, non-solicitation and
                      assignment agreements with respect to Executive's
                      employment, as Employer then customarily requires of its
                      executives and other similarly situated employees.

         2.  Title and Duties.

              (a)     Executive is engaged initially with the title and duties
                      described on Exhibit A attached hereto. Executive shall
                      perform and discharge well and faithfully such duties, and
                      such other duties which may be assigned by Employer to
                      Executive from time to time in connection with the conduct
                      of the business of Employer; however, such latter duties
                      shall be generally consistent with those set out in
                      Exhibit A hereto.

                      Executive pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, Executive
                      shall: (i) diligently follow and implement all management
                      policies and decisions communicated to Executive by
                      Employer; (ii) timely prepare and forward all reports and
                      accountings as may be requested by Employer of Executive;
                      (iii) devote substantially all of Executive's time,
                      energy and skill during regular business hours to the
                      performance of the duties of Executive's employment
                      (reasonable vacations and reasonable absences due to
                      illness excepted); and (iv) not devote any time to any
                      interest that conflicts with the business of Employer or
                      any of its affiliates.

              (c)     Executive shall have the right to make contracts binding
                      on Employer or any of its affiliates, but only to the
                      extent consistent with the duties described on Exhibit A
                      attached hereto or otherwise as approved by Employer's
                      Board of Directors.

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

         3.  Compensation and Benefits.

              (a)     Annual Review of Compensation and Benefits. Employer
                      agrees to (i) review and evaluate annually the
                      compensation package described in this Section 3 and in
                      Exhibit B for competitiveness in the external market,
                      consistency with internal compensation practices and other
                      appropriate review criteria, and (ii) increase the
                      compensation package as appropriate with approval, if
                      necessary, from the appropriate committee of Employer's
                      Board of Directors.

              (b)     Base Salary. As compensation for services hereunder,
                      during the Initial Term, Employer shall pay to Executive a
                      minimum of an annual base salary of $275,000 (the "Base
                      Salary"). Executive's performance shall be reviewed
                      annually, and based upon such review, his Base Salary
                      shall be subject to modification from time-to-time in
                      accordance with the approvals of the appropriate committee
                      of Employer's Board of Directors. Base Salary shall be
                      paid in accordance with the standard payroll payment
                      practices of Employer in effect from time to time.

              (c)     Incentive Pay. Executive shall be entitled to participate
                      in Employer's annual incentive program, subject to the
                      terms and provisions of such program as may be determined
                      by the Management Compensation and Benefits Committee (the
                      "Compensation Committee") from time to time in its sole
                      discretion. The annual incentive compensation program in
                      effect on the Effective Date is set forth in Exhibit B.

               (d)    Omnibus Plan. Executive shall also be eligible to receive
                      periodic grants under the ChoicePoint Inc. 1997 Omnibus
                      Stock Incentive Plan ("Omnibus

                                      2

                      Plan") and any successor thereto. Such grants may provide
                      for stock option grants, restricted stock grants and
                      other grants as provided for by the Omnibus Plan, for the
                      number of grants, at a price and on the terms and
                      conditions, as may be determined by the Compensation
                      Committee from time to time in its sole discretion.  The
                      initial target value of the grants is reflected on
                      Exhibit B. Such Omnibus Plan may provide for long-term
                      incentive grants, such as performance shares or units or
                      stock appreciation rights, as approved by the
                      Compensation Committee.

              (e)     Non-Qualified Plan. Executive shall be entitled to
                      participate in the ChoicePoint Inc. Deferred Compensation
                      Plan ("Deferred Compensation Plan") which may include one
                      or more of the following: (i) voluntary deferrals of
                      salary or bonus, (ii) Employer contributions otherwise
                      limited under the Employer's qualified retirement plans on
                      account of limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code
                      ("Code"), and (iii) a supplemental retirement
                      contribution, as set forth in Exhibit B.

              (f)     Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to benefits and
                      perquisites, as set forth in Exhibit B and consistent with
                      the Employer's benefit programs and Executive Fringe
                      Benefit Policy.

              (g)     Other Plans. Executive shall be entitled to participate in
                      other executive and employee benefit plans and
                      arrangements, as Employer may have or establish from time
                      to time for similarly situated executives. Such reference
                      to Other Plans shall not be construed to require Employer
                      to establish any such plan, program or arrangement or
                      prevent the modification or termination of any such plan,
                      program or arrangement once established.

              (h)     Vacation. Executive's annual vacation benefits shall be a
                      minimum number of weeks as provided in Exhibit B hereto,
                      but such benefits may be increased if Executive is
                      eligible for additional benefits in accordance with
                      Employer's regular vacation plan applicable to executives
                      and other salaried employees (including credit for service
                      with Equifax Inc. prior to the Effective Date).

              (i)     Expense Reimbursement. 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
                      expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the
                      performance of 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 from time to time adopted by
                      Employer.

              (j)     Entire Compensation. The salary and benefits set forth in
                      this Section 3 and Exhibit B shall be the only
                      compensation payable to Executive with respect to his
                      employment hereunder (except as provided in Sections
                      4(c), 4(e) and 5 hereof), and Executive shall not be
                      entitled to receive any compensation in

                                      3
<PAGE>
                      addition to that set forth herein for any services
                      provided by Executive in any capacity to Employer or any
                      of its affiliates. Employer or affiliate may increase
                      either the components of compensation or the amount of
                      compensation described in Exhibit B at any time, in its
                      total discretion, without binding Employer to continue to
                      provide additional increases at future dates.

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

         4.  Termination.

              (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

                                   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 death, (B) an amount equal to 30
                                   days of Executive's Base Salary, (C) any
                                   death benefits payable under Employer's
                                   qualified and non-

                                   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

                                   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

                                   on Exhibit B. If the Executive's Total

                                   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 (but not a
                      change in Control 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 twenty-one (21) days after the
                      Date of Termination the Release set forth herein as
                      Exhibit C, and such Release becomes effective and
                      irrevocable. The Employer in its sole discretion shall
                      determine if such Severance Benefits shall be paid by
                      Employer to Executive in a lump sum or in regular
                      bi-weekly payments, until paid in full, which shall be
                      initiated 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 include:

                      (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 1 year; 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 11 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, during the
                      term of the agreement, 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 shall have
                      given Executive written notice of the intention not to
                      extend the Change in Control Term.

              (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

<PAGE>
                      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 specify the event upon
                      which Executive relies and specify in reasonable detail
                      the facts and circumstances claimed to provide the basis
                      for the Good Reason Resignation.

              (e)     Voluntary Resignation or Termination With Cause. In the
                      event Executive voluntarily terminates employment with
                      Employer on account of a Voluntary Resignation that does
                      not constitute a Good Reason Resignation, or in the event
                      Executive is terminated by Employer in a Termination With
                      Cause, Employer shall not be required to make any payment
                      referred to in this Section 5 to which the Executive would
                      otherwise be entitled in the event of a Change in Control,
                      except for Base Salary, benefits, and any other
                      compensation arrangements which the Executive has accrued
                      and in which he is vested under the Employer's plans and
                      policies, but which 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
                      Date of Termination.

              (f)     Severance Benefits.

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

                      (ii)         The Employer shall pay the Executive within
                                   30 days following the Date of Termination a
                                   lump sum amount equal to the sum of (A)
                                   Executive's Total Direct Compensation
                                   multiplied by 2 and (B) the Executive's Total
                                   Indirect Compensation multiplied by 3;
                                   provided if any plan or program which
                                   comprises a component of Total Direct
                                   Compensation or Total Indirect Compensation
                                   would provide for a different method of
                                   payment, the distribution provisions of such
                                   plan or program will control.

                      (iii)        The Employer shall provide a fully paid term
                                   life insurance policy in an amount as
                                   described in Exhibit B, Section 3(f)
                                   Benefits, for a period of three years.

                      (iv)         The amounts determined under Subsections (i)
                                   and (ii) hereof shall be paid from the
                                   general assets of the Employer; provided,
                                   however, the Employer reserves the right to
                                   set aside assets to secure the payment of

                                   benefits hereunder by establishing a
                                   non-qualified grantor trust upon such terms
                                   and conditions as it deems appropriate.

              (g)     Tax Payments. In the event that any payments made to the
                      Executive under this Section 5 or any other payments made
                      to the Executive by the Employer are deemed to be "excess
                      parachute payments" under Section 280G of the Internal
                      Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), the Employer agrees to
                      provide a gross up payment to the Executive in order to
                      place him in the same after-tax position that he would
                      have been in had no excise tax become due and payable
                      under Code Section 4999.

              (h)     Definitions. The terms used in this Section 5, shall have
                      the meanings set forth in Section 11.

         6.   Confidentiality; Employee Non-Solicitation.

              (a)     Trade Secrets and Confidential Information.

                      (i)          All Proprietary Information (defined below),

                                   or developed by Executive during the term of
                                   his employment by Employer (in this Section
                                   6, the term "Employer" refers collectively to

                                   Employer's property exclusively. Except as
                                   necessary to perform Executive's duties for
                                   Employer, Executive will hold all Proprietary

                                   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

                                   Employer for any reason.

                                   but not limited to, technical and

                                   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

                                   received from Employer; or (5) has been

                                   right to disclose the information.

                      (vi)         In the event Executive is required by any

                                   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 his counsel,
                                   compelled to disclose such Proprietary

                                   disclose or otherwise distribute any

                      the course of his employment by Employer.

                      contracted to obtain good or services from the Employer
                      during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding

                      any reason, Executive will deliver promptly to Employer
                      all property of Employer in his possession or control,

                      agreements contained in this Section 6 are of the essence

                      that, in addition to other legal or equitable remedies
                      available to it (including but not limited to damages,

                      recognition of the fact that Executive has special,
                      unique, unusual and extraordinary qualities that provide
                      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

         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 immediately preceding subsection
                                   7(a)(iii) and Executive elects not to
                                   disclose such Invention to Employer as
                                   provided therein, then

                      (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, 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.

                                   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

                                   as Employer may deem necessary and desirable
                                   to secure Employer's title to the copyrights
                                   in such Works. Employer shall be responsible

                      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:

                      (1)  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

                                       13
<PAGE>
                      (2)  Result from any work performed by the employee for
                           the employer.

         8.   Indemnification and Insurance.

              Employer agrees that it will indemnify and hold Executive harmless
              from and against any and all liability sustained by Executive as a
              consequence of his good faith actions, or failure to act, in the
              performance of his 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 the same may be
              amended from time to time. In addition, and as further security
              for said agreement (but not to create any duplication of
              reimbursement), Employer will maintain commercially standard
              Directors and Officers Liability Insurance with a reputable
              insurer in amounts which are customary for such companies under
              similar circumstances.

         9.   Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
              required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
              been duly given if delivered or if mailed, by United States

         10.  Miscellaneous.

              (a)     Other Employee Benefits. The benefits under this Agreement
                      shall not be affected by 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 Employer, and no
                      other such benefit by reason of such employment shall be
                      so affected or reduced because of the benefits bestowed by
                      this Agreement; provided, however, that the

                                       14
<PAGE>
                      foregoing will not be interpreted to require duplicative
                      severance, medical or other "health insurance" benefits.

              (b)     Assignment. Except as provided in Section 5(a), this
                      Agreement may not be assigned by either Employer or
                      Executive without the prior written consent of the other
                      party.

              (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, (3) the Executive terminates his
                      employment for Good Reason or (4) the Executive terminates
                      his employment 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; provided
                      that, in order to be reimbursed under subsection (4) of
                      this paragraph, the Executive must prevail in a court of
                      law on his claim that the termination was on account of a
                      Constructive Termination.

              (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.

              (h)     Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
                      understanding and agreement of the parties with respect
                      to its subject matter and any and all prior agreements,
                      understandings or representations with respect to the
                      subject

                      entirety and are of no further force or effect.

              (i)     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
                      regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

              (j)     Exhibits. All exhibits to this Agreement are incorporated
                      herein by reference thereto.

              (k)     Survival. The covenants of Executive in Sections 6 and 7,
                      and the obligations of Employer in Sections 4 and 5 to the
                      extent provided therein, shall survive the termination of
                      this Agreement and Executive's employment hereunder and
                      shall not be extinguished thereby.

              (l)     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or
                      more counterparts, each of which will take effect as an
                      original and all of which shall evidence one and the same
                      agreement.

                      (ii)  The Employer sells or otherwise transfers all or

                                 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 David T. Lee ("Executive").  I I I 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

                     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

                     the time of executing the release, which if known by him
                     must have materially affected his settlement with the

                     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,

                     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

               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
                     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 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, or the
                     fifteenth (15th) day if subject to Minnesota law, after
                     Executive's execution of this Release shall be the

               10.   Construction and Severability. In the event that any

                     and intend that no provision of this Release should be
                     considered in a legal or agency proceeding to be void,

                     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

                           requested, postage prepaid. Executive may send this
                           Release to the address set forth in paragraph (b)
                           below using any other means (including personal

                    other executive and employee benefit plans and arrangements,
                    as Employer may have or establish from time to time for
                    similarly situated executives. Such reference to Other Plans
                    shall not be construed to require Employer to establish any
                    such plan, program or arrangement or prevent the
                    modification or termination of any such plan, program or
                    arrangement once established.

               (h)  Vacation. Executive's annual vacation benefits shall be a
                    minimum number of weeks as provided in Exhibit B hereto, but
                    such benefits may be increased if Executive is eligible for
                    additional benefits in accordance with Employer's regular
                    vacation plan applicable to executives and other salaried
                    employees (including credit for service with Equifax Inc.

               (i)  Expense Reimbursement. 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
                    expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the
                    performance of 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 from time to time adopted by Employer.

               (j)  Entire Compensation. The salary and benefits set forth in

                                      3

                    his employment hereunder (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 set
                    forth herein for any services provided by Executive in any
                    capacity to Employer or any of its affiliates . Employer or
                    affiliate may increase either the components of compensation
                    or the amount of compensation described in Exhibit B at any
                    time, in its total discretion, without binding Employer to
                    continue to provide additional increases at future dates.

               (k)  Withholding. Employer may deduct from each payment of salary
                    and other benefits hereunder all amounts required to be
                    deducted and withheld in accordance with applicable federal

                    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,

                         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.

                         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,

                         shall be less than those set forth on Exhibit B.

               (d)  Termination Without Payments. If this Agreement is

                    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 (but not
                    during a Change in Control 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 twenty-one (21) days after the
                    Date of Termination the Release set forth herein as Exhibit
                    C, and such Release becomes effective and irrevocable. The
                    Employer in its sole discretion shall determine if such
                    Severance Benefits shall be paid by Employer to Executive in
                    a lump sum or in regular biweekly payments, until paid in
                    full, which shall be initiated as soon as practicable
                    following the Effective Date of the Release but in no event
                    later than 15 days after such Effective Date.

                                      5

         Severance Benefits include:

               (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 1 year; 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 11 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, during
           the term of the agreement, 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 shall have given Executive written notice of the
           intention not to extend the Change in Control Term.

      (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

                                      6
<PAGE>
           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 specify the event upon
           which Executive relies and specify in reasonable detail the facts and
           circumstances claimed to provide the basis for the Good Reason
           Resignation.

      (e)  Voluntary Resignation or Termination With Cause. In the event
           Executive voluntarily terminates employment with Employer on account
           of a Voluntary Resignation that does not constitute a Good Reason
           Resignation, or in the event Executive is terminated by Employer in a
           Termination With Cause, Employer shall not be required to make any
           payment referred to in this Section 5 to which the Executive would
           otherwise be entitled in the event of a Change in Control, except for
           Base Salary, benefits, and any other compensation arrangements which
           the Executive has accrued and in which he is vested under the
           Employer's plans and policies, but which 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 Date of
           Termination.

      (f)  Severance Benefits.

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

           (ii)  The Employer shall pay the Executive within 30 days following
                 the Date of Termination a lump sum amount equal to the sum of
                 (A) Executive's Total Direct Compensation multiplied by 1.5 and
                 (B) the Executive's Total Indirect Compensation multiplied by
                 2; provided if any plan or program which comprises a component
                 of Total Direct Compensation or Total Indirect Compensation
                 would provide for a different method of payment, the
                 distribution provisions of such plan or program will control

           (iii) The Employer shall provide a fully paid term life insurance
                 policy in an amount as described in Exhibit B, Section 3(f)
                 Benefits, for 3 years.

           (iv)  The amounts determined under Subsections (i) and (ii) hereof
                 shall be paid from the general assets of the Employer;
                 provided, however, the Employer reserves the right to set aside
                 assets to secure the payment of benefits hereunder by
                 establishing a non-qualified grantor trust upon such terms and
                 conditions as it deems appropriate.

                                      7

      (g)  Tax Payments. In the event that any payments made to the Executive
           under this Section 5 or any other payments made to the Executive by
           the Employer are deemed to be "excess parachute payments" under
           Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), the
           Employer agrees to provide a gross up payment to the Executive in
           order to place him in the same after-tax position that he would have
           been in had no excise tax become due and payable under Code Section
           4999.

      (h)  Definitions. The terms used in this Section 5, shall have the
           meanings set forth in Section 11.

           (i)   All Proprietary Information (defined below), and all materials
                 containing them, received or developed by Executive during the
                 term of his employment by Employer (in this Section 6, 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

                 those actions reasonably necessary to protect any Proprietary
                 Information. Executive's obligations regarding Trade Secrets
                 (defined below) will continue indefinitely, while Executive's

                 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

                 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.

                 any time in the future during Executive's employment 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
                 6(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 his 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 fair 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

                 report information as such term is defined in such acts. 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 analogous state fair credit
                 reporting statutes.

      (b)  Employee NonSolicitation. During the term of Executive's employment
           by Employer and for two (2) years after his termination, Executive
           will not, either directly or indirectly, on his behalf or on behalf
           of others, solicit for employment or hire, or attempt to solicit for
           employment or hire, any employee of Employer or anyone who was an
           employee of Employer at any time during the twelve (12) month period
           immediately preceding the date of Executive's termination with whom
           Executive had contact in the course of his employment by Employer.

      (c)  Customer NonSolicitation. During the term of Executive's employment
           by Employer and for two (2) years after his termination, Executive
           shall not directly or indirectly, for himself 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 that obtained or contracted to
           obtain goods or services from the Employer during the twelve (12)
           month period immediately preceding the date of Executive's
           termination with which Executive had 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 his
           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 6 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 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

                                      10
<PAGE>
           the fact that Executive has special, unique, unusual and
           extraordinary qualities that provide 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.

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 immediately preceding subsection 7(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.

                                      11
<PAGE>
              (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, 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 he claims no
                    ownership rights in any Works, except those described on
                    Exhibit D attached hereto.

      (c)   Section 7 Definitions. As used in this Section 7, 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

                                      12

                    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 his 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,

                    technique, machine, manufacture, composition of matter,
                    algorithm or computer program, as well as improvements
                    thereto, which is new or which Executive has a reasonable

      (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:

                   (1)   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

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

                                      13

    8.   Indemnification and Insurance.

         Employer agrees that it will indemnify and hold Executive harmless from
         and against any and all liability sustained by Executive as a
         consequence of his good faith actions, or failure to act, in the
         performance of his duties hereunder. This indemnification is subject to
         and limited by the provision of Employer's corporate By-Laws and the
         laws of the State of Georgia, as the same may be amended from time to
         time. In addition, and as further security for said agreement (but not
         to create any duplication of reimbursement), Employer will maintain
         commercially standard Directors and Officers Liability Insurance with a
         reputable insurer in amounts which are customary for such companies
         under similar circumstances.

    9.   Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
         required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
         duly given if delivered or if mailed, by United States certified or
         registered mail, prepaid to the party to which the same is directed at
         the following addresses (or at such addresses as shall be given in
         writing by the parties to one another):

                  If to Employer, to:

                           ChoicePoint Inc.
                           1000 Alderman Drive
                           Alpharetta, Georgia  30005
                           Attention:  Chief Executive Officer

                  If to Executive, to:

                           J. Michael de Janes

         Notices delivered in person shall be effective on the date of delivery.
         Notices delivered by mail as aforesaid shall be effective upon the
         third calendar day subsequent to the postmark date thereof.

    10.  Miscellaneous.

           (a)   Other Employee Benefits. The benefits under this Agreement
                 shall not be affected by 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 Employer, and no other such benefit by
                 reason of such employment shall be so affected or reduced
                 because of the benefits bestowed by this Agreement; provided,
                 however, that the foregoing will not be interpreted to require
                 duplicative severance, medical or other "health insurance"
                 benefits.

                                      14

           (b)   Assignment. Except as provided in Section 5(a), this Agreement
                 may not be assigned by either Employer or Executive without the
                 prior written consent of the other party.

           (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, (3) the Executive terminates his
                 employment for Good Reason, or (4) the Executive terminates his
                 employment 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; provided that, in order to be reimbursed under
                 subsection (4) of this paragraph, the Executive must prevail in
                 a court of law on his claim that the termination was on account
                 of a Constructive Termination.

           (g)   Captions and Section Headings. Captions and section headings
                 used herein are for convenience only and are not a part of this

                 understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to its

                          (or any successor schedule, form, or report or item

          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

                    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
                    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

                    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, or the fifteenth (15th) day if subject to
                    Minnesota law, 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

                    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,

                    understanding between the parties with respect to the
                    subject matter hereof. No covenants, agreements,
                    representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever,

                    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 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

                           registered or certified mail, return receipt
                           requested, postage prepaid. Executive may send this
                           Release to the address set forth in paragraph (b)
                           below using any other means (including personal
                           delivery, overnight delivery service, expedited
                           courier, messenger, or facsimile), but the Release
                           will be deemed to have been received by Employer only
