                                CHOICEPOINT INC.
                  NONQUALIFIED EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      This AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of _______________ (the "Date
of Grant") by and between CHOICEPOINT INC., a Georgia corporation (the
"Company") on behalf of itself and any Subsidiary which is the employer of the
Optionee, and ____________ (the "Optionee"). As used in this Agreement, the word
"Employer" shall mean both the Company and any such employing Subsidiary.

1.          GRANT OF STOCK OPTION. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions,
      and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company's 2003
      Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company hereby grants to the
      Optionee as of the Date of Grant a stock option (the "Option") to purchase
      __________ Common Shares of the Company's stock (the "Optioned Shares").
      The Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the terms
      of this Agreement. The price at which the Optioned Shares may be purchased
      pursuant to this Option shall be $_____ per share subject to adjustment as
      hereinafter provided (the "Option Price"). The Option is intended to be a
      nonqualified stock option and shall not be treated as an "incentive stock
      option" within the meaning of that term under Section 422 of the Code, or
      any successor provision thereto.

2.          TERM OF OPTION. The term of the Option shall commence on the Date of
      Grant and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof,
      shall expire ten (10) years from the Date of Grant.

3.          RIGHT TO EXERCISE.

      (a)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, the Option shall
            become exercisable in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto so
            long as the Optionee remains in the employ of the Company or a
            Subsidiary.

      (b)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, the Option shall
            continue to vest consistent with the original vesting schedule in
            the event Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer.

      (c)         To the extent the Option is exercisable, it may be exercised
            in whole or in part. In no event shall the Optionee be entitled to
            acquire a fraction of one Optioned Share pursuant to this Option.
            The Optionee shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership with
            respect to Optioned Shares purchased and delivered to him upon the
            exercise of all or part of this Option.

      (d)         Subject to the expiration or earlier termination of the
            Option, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for additional
            vesting following the Optionee's termination of employment with the
            Employer, or the termination of the Employer's status as an
            affiliate of the Company as described in subparagraph (a) above.

4.          RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF OPTION. The Option granted hereby:

      (a)         may not be sold, pledged, exchanged, or otherwise encumbered
            or disposed of by Optionee, and

      (b)         may not be assigned or transferred except (A) to a Family
            Member of the Optionee, or entities controlled by or benefiting
            them, as described in Section 12 of the

<PAGE>

            Plan, and then (B) (i) if during the Optionee's life, only upon
            the approval of the Company's Chief Financial Officer and/or its
            Vice President with responsibility for compensation and benefits, or
            (ii) by execution and delivery of a Beneficiary Designation Form
            provided by the Company or, if none, (iii) by will or by the laws of
            descent and distribution. The Option may be exercised, during the
            lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee, (or if transferred,
            during the lifetime of the Transferee, only by the Transferee), or
            in the event of his or her legal incapacity, by his or her guardian
            or legal representative acting on behalf of the Optionee or
            Transferee, as appropriate, in a fiduciary capacity under state law
            and court supervision.

Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Option that is
in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void, and the other party to
any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in the
Option.

5.          NOTICE OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT.

      (a)         To the extent then exercisable, the Option may be exercised by
            written notice to the Company stating the number of Optioned Shares
            for which the Option is being exercised and the intended manner of
            payment. Payment equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Optioned
            Shares being exercised shall be tendered in full with the notice of
            exercise to the Company in cash in the form of U.S. currency or
            check or other cash equivalent acceptable to the Company. The date
            of such notice shall be the exercise date.

      (b)         In the Committee's discretion, the Optionee may also tender
            the Option Price by (i) the actual or constructive transfer to the
            Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that have
            been owned by the Optionee for (x) more than one year prior to the
            date of exercise and for more than two years from the date on which
            the option was granted, if they were originally acquired by the
            Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, or
            (y) more than six months prior to the date of exercise, if they were
            originally acquired by the Optionee other than pursuant to the
            exercise of an incentive stock option, or (ii) by any combination of
            the foregoing methods of payment, including a partial tender in cash
            and a partial tender in nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares.
            To the extent permitted by law, the requirement of payment in cash
            shall be deemed satisfied if the Optionee shall have made
            arrangements satisfactory to the Company with a broker who is a
            member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. to
            sell on the date of exercise a sufficient number of the Common
            Shares being purchased so that the net proceeds of the sale
            transaction will at least equal the aggregate Exercise Price, plus
            interest at the applicable federal rate for the period from the date
            of exercise to the date of payment, and pursuant to which the broker
            undertakes to deliver the aggregate Exercise Price, plus such
            interest, to the Company not later than the date on which the sale
            transaction will settle in the ordinary course of business. In the
            event the option has been transferred pursuant to Section 4 above,
            the word Transferee shall be substituted for Optionee in the
            foregoing provisions of this subsection (b).

      (c)         Within ten (10) days after notice, the Company shall direct
            the due issuance of the Optioned Shares so purchased.

      (d)         Nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that are
            transferred in payment of all or any part of the Option Price shall
            be valued on the basis of their Market Value per Share as defined in
            the Plan.

                                       2

      (e)         As a further condition precedent to the exercise of this
            Option, the Optionee or Transferee, as appropriate, shall comply
            with all regulations and the requirements of any regulatory
            authority having control of, or supervision over, the issuance of
            Common Shares and in connection therewith shall execute any
            documents which the Committee shall in its sole discretion deem
            necessary or advisable.

6.          TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. The Agreement and the Option granted
      hereby shall continue to the extent the Options have previously or,
      pursuant to Section 3(b) subsequently become exercisable, for the periods
      indicated below, if any, but shall terminate automatically and without
      further notice on the earliest of the following dates:

      (a)         DEATH WHILE EMPLOYED. Five (5) years after the Optionee's
            death if the Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer;

      (b)         DISABILITY. Five (5) years after the date of the termination
            of the Optionee's employment because of permanent and total
            disability if the Optionee becomes permanently and totally disabled
            as defined in the Company's 401(k) Plan at the time of said
            disability, while an employee of the Employer;

      (c)         RETIREMENT. Five (5) years after the Optionee's termination of
            employment with the Employer following attainment of age 50 and
            after completion of that number of years of service which, when
            added to the Optionee's age, equals at least 75; for these purposes,
            years of service shall be determined according to the rules
            contained in the Company's 401(k) Plan;

      (d)         CHANGE IN CONTROL. Five (5) years after the Optionee' s
            termination of employment with Employer following a Change in
            Control of the Company, provided, however, that in the event that
            the Optionee's employment is terminated voluntarily by the Optionee
            or by the Employer for Cause, the Agreement shall terminate at the
            time of such termination notwithstanding this subparagraph. For
            purposes of this provision, "Cause" shall mean the Optionee shall
            have committed prior to termination of employment any of the
            following acts:

            (i)         an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any
                  other material violation of law (A) in connection with the
                  Optionee's duties or in the course of the Optionee's
                  employment with the Employer, or (B) which is otherwise
                  materially injurious to the Employer, monetarily or otherwise;

            (ii)        intentional wrongful damage to material assets of the
                  Employer;

            (iii)       intentional wrongful disclosure of material confidential
                  information of the Employer;

            (iv)        intentional wrongful engagement in any competitive
                  activity that would constitute a material breach of the duty
                  of loyalty; or

            (v)         intentional breach of any stated material employment
                  policy of the Employer;

                                        3
<PAGE>

      (e)         MANAGEMENT RESTRUCTURING. One (1) year after the Optionee's
            termination of employment with the Employer due to the Employer's
            elimination of the Optionee's particular responsibilities due to
            management restructuring;

      (f)         OTHER TERMINATIONS. The date the Optionee ceases to be an
            employee of the Employer, for any reason other than as described in
            this Section 6 hereof; or

      (g)         EXPIRATION OF TEN YEARS. Ten (10) years from the Date of
            Grant;

provided, however, that the period for exercise will not expire (unless required
by subparagraph (g) hereof), prior to six (6) months after the Optionee's death
if the Optionee dies after termination of employment with the Employer but
within one of the periods described in subparagraphs (b) through (e) above, if
applicable.

This Agreement shall not be exercisable for any number of Optioned Shares in
excess of the number of Optioned Shares for which this Agreement is then
exercisable, pursuant to Sections 3 and 7 hereof and subject to Section 3(b), on
the date of termination of employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
continuous employment of the Optionee with the Employer shall not be deemed to
have been interrupted, and the Optionee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be
an employee of the Employer, by reason of the transfer of his employment among
the Company and its Subsidiaries or a Company-approved leave of absence.

7.          ACCELERATION OF OPTION. Notwithstanding Section 3, but subject to
      earlier termination, the Option granted hereby shall become immediately
      exercisable in full in the event of a Change of Control.

8.          NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
      confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of
      employment by the Employer nor limit or affect in any manner the right of
      the Employer to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the
      Optionee.

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Employer shall be required to withhold
      any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the exercise
      of the Option, and the amounts available to the Employer for such
      withholding are insufficient, the Optionee shall pay the tax or make
      provisions that are satisfactory to the Employer for the payment thereof.
      The Optionee may elect to satisfy all or any part of the minimum statutory
      withholding obligation by surrendering to the Employer a portion of the
      Optioned Shares that are issued or transferred to the Optionee upon the
      exercise of the Option, and the Optioned Shares so surrendered by the
      Optionee shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the
      Market Value per Share of such shares on the date of such surrender. The
      Employer will pay any and all issue and other taxes in the nature thereof
      which may be payable by the Employer in respect of any issue or delivery
      upon a purchase pursuant to this Option.

10.         COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Employer shall make reasonable efforts to
      comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws;
      provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
      the Option shall not be exercisable if the exercise thereof would result
      in a violation of any such law.

11.         ADJUSTMENTS. The Committee may make or provide for such adjustments
      in the number of Optioned Shares covered by this Option, in the Option
      Price applicable to such Option, and in the kind of shares covered
      thereby, as the Committee may determine is equitably required to

                                        4
<PAGE>

      prevent dilution or enlargement of the Optionee's rights that otherwise
      would result from (a) any combination of shares, recapitalization, or
      other change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger,
      consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization,
      partial or complete liquidation, or other distribution of assets or
      issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other
      corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the
      foregoing; provided however, that no such adjustment in the number of
      Optioned Shares will be made unless such adjustment would change by more
      than 5 % the number of Optioned Shares issuable upon exercise of this
      Option. Similar adjustments shall be made automatically in the event of a
      stock dividend or stock split, on a purely mathematical basis. Any
      adjustment which by reason of this Section 11 is not required to be made
      currently will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
      adjustment. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee
      may provide in substitution for this Option such alternative consideration
      as it may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require
      in connection therewith the surrender of this Option.

12.         AVAILABILITY OF COMMON SHARES. The Company shall at all times until
      the expiration of the Option reserve and keep available, either in its
      treasury or out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, the full
      number of Optioned Shares deliverable upon the exercise of this Option.

13.         RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. Any economic or other benefit to the
      Optionee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in
      determining any benefits to which the Optionee may be entitled under any
      profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan
      maintained by the Employer and shall not affect the amount of any life
      insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance
      plan covering employees of the Company.

14.         AMENDMENTS. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an
      amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable
      hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the
      rights of the Optionee or Transferee, as appropriate, under this Agreement
      without said Optionee's or Transferee's consent. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, this Agreement shall be amended in such particulars as are
      necessary or appropriate to reflect the applicable provisions of section
      409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in order to avoid
      current taxation of the grant made pursuant hereto, and to avoid any
      penalty taxes imposed on noncomplying arrangements.

15.         SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
      this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
      jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable
      from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof
      shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

16.         RELATION TO PLAN. This Agreement is subject to the terms and
      conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistent provisions
      between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. Capitalized
      terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to
      them in the Plan. The Committee acting pursuant to the Plan, as
      constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided
      otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions which arise in
      connection with this option or its exercise.

17.         SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Without limiting Section 4 hereof, the
      provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
      upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and
      assigns of the Optionee or Transferee, as appropriate, and the successors
      and assigns of the Employer.

                                        5

18.         GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of
      this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia,
      without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

19.         NOTICES. Any notice to the Company provided for herein shall be in
      writing to the Company, marked Attention: Stock Option Administrator,

      30005, and any notice to the Optionee shall be addressed to said Optionee
      at his or her address currently on file with the Company. Except as

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed
on its behalf and that of any Employer by which the Optionee is employed by its
duly authorized officer and Optionee has also executed this Agreement in
duplicate, as of the day and year first above written.

      This AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of _______________ (the "Date
of Grant") by and between CHOICEPOINT INC., a Georgia corporation (the
"Company") on behalf of itself and any Subsidiary which is the employer of the
Optionee, and ____________ (the "Optionee"). As used in this Agreement, the word
"Employer" shall mean both the Company and any such employing Subsidiary.

1.          GRANT OF STOCK OPTION. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions,
      and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company's 2003
      Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company hereby grants to the
      Optionee as of the Date of Grant a stock option (the "Option") to purchase

      The Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the terms
      of this Agreement. The price at which the Optioned Shares may be purchased
      pursuant to this Option shall be $_____ per share subject to adjustment as
      hereinafter provided (the "Option Price"). The Option is intended to be a
      nonqualified stock option and shall not be treated as an "incentive stock
      option" within the meaning of that term under Section 422 of the Code, or
      any successor provision thereto.

2.          TERM OF OPTION. The term of the Option shall commence on the Date of
      Grant and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof,
      shall expire ten (10) years from the Date of Grant.

3.          RIGHT TO EXERCISE.

      (a)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, and subject to
            the remaining provisions of this Section 3, the Option shall become
            exercisable in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto so long as
            the Optionee remains in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary.

      (b)         In the event that Optionee's employment with the Company or a
            Subsidiary terminates on or subsequent to [DATE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
            TERMINATES] (or any later date which is the expiration date of a
            written employment agreement, or extension thereof, between the
            Optionee and the Company or a Subsidiary), but (i) prior to the
            Option having vested in full pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this
            Section 3 or Section 7, and (ii) other than for Cause, this Option
            shall nonetheless become exercisable on the date of termination as
            to that percentage of the Common Shares referred to in Section 1 (as
            adjusted, if appropriate) as (i) the number of calendar months of
            Optionee's employment during the period from the Date of Grant
            through the date of termination of employment represents when
            divided by (ii) [NUMBER OF TOTAL MONTHS IN THE CLIFF VESTING PERIOD
            ON SCHEDULE A]. For those purposes, if Optionee provides services
            for a portion but not all of a calendar month, he shall nonetheless
            be credited with a full calendar month of employment. In the event
            that said calculation results in an award of a fractional share, the
            number shall be increased to the next full share.

      (c)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, the Option shall
            continue to vest consistent with the original vesting schedule in
            the event Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer.

<PAGE>

      (d)         To the extent the Option is exercisable, it may be exercised
            in whole or in part. In no event shall the Optionee be entitled to
            acquire a fraction of one Optioned Share pursuant to this Option.
            The Optionee shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership with
            respect to Optioned Shares purchased and delivered to him upon the
            exercise of all or part of this Option.

      (e)         Subject to the expiration or earlier termination of the
            Option, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for additional
            vesting following the Optionee's termination of employment with the
            Employer, or the termination of the Employer's status as an
            affiliate of the Company as described in subparagraph (a) above.

4.          RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF OPTION. The Option granted hereby:

      (a)         may not be sold, pledged, exchanged, or otherwise encumbered
            or disposed of by Optionee, and

      (b)         may not be assigned or transferred except (A) to a Family
            Member of the Optionee, or entities controlled by or benefiting
            them, as described in Section 12 of the Plan, and then (B) (i) if
            during the Optionee's life, only upon the approval of the Company's
            Chief Financial Officer and/or its Vice President with
            responsibility for compensation and benefits, or (ii) by execution
            and delivery of a Beneficiary Designation Form provided by the
            Company or, if none, (iii) by will or by the laws of descent and
            distribution. The Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of
            the Optionee, only by the Optionee, (or if transferred, during the
            lifetime of the Transferee, only by the Transferee), or in the event
            of his or her legal incapacity, by his or her guardian or legal
            representative acting on behalf of the Optionee or Transferee, as
            appropriate, in a fiduciary capacity under state law and court
            supervision.

Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Option that is
in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void, and the other party to
any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in the
Option.

5.          NOTICE OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT.

      (a)         To the extent then exercisable, the Option may be exercised by
            written notice to the Company stating the number of Optioned Shares
            for which the Option is being exercised and the intended manner of
            payment. Payment equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Optioned
            Shares being exercised shall be tendered in full with the notice of
            exercise to the Company in cash in the form of U.S. currency or
            check or other cash equivalent acceptable to the Company. The date
            of such notice shall be the exercise date.

      (b)         In the Committee's discretion, the Optionee may also tender
            the Option Price by (i) the actual or constructive transfer to the
            Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that have
            been owned by the Optionee for (x) more than one year prior to the
            date of exercise and for more than two years from the date on which
            the option was granted, if they were originally acquired by the
            Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, or
            (y) more than six months prior to the date of exercise, if they were
            originally acquired by the Optionee other than pursuant to the
            exercise of an incentive stock option, or (ii) by any combination of
            the foregoing methods of payment, including a partial tender in cash
            and a partial tender in nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares.
            To the extent permitted by law, the requirement of payment in cash

                                        2
<PAGE>

            shall be deemed satisfied if the Optionee shall have made
            arrangements satisfactory to the Company with a broker who is a
            member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. to
            sell on the date of exercise a sufficient number of the Common
            Shares being purchased so that the net proceeds of the sale
            transaction will at least equal the aggregate Exercise Price, plus
            interest at the applicable federal rate for the period from the date
            of exercise to the date of payment, and pursuant to which the broker
            undertakes to deliver the aggregate Exercise Price, plus such
            interest, to the Company not later than the date on which the sale
            transaction will settle in the ordinary course of business. In the
            event the option has been transferred pursuant to Section 4 above,
            the word Transferee shall be substituted for Optionee in the
            foregoing provisions of this subsection (b).

      (c)         Within ten (10) days after notice, the Company shall direct
            the due issuance of the Optioned Shares so purchased.

      (d)         Nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that are
            transferred in payment of all or any part of the Option Price shall
            be valued on the basis of their Market Value per Share as defined in
            the Plan.

      (e)         As a further condition precedent to the exercise of this
            Option, the Optionee or Transferee, as appropriate, shall comply
            with all regulations and the requirements of any regulatory
            authority having control of, or supervision over, the issuance of
            Common Shares and in connection therewith shall execute any
            documents which the Committee shall in its sole discretion deem
            necessary or advisable.

6.                TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. The Agreement and the Option granted
      hereby shall continue to the extent the Options have previously or,
      pursuant to Section 3(b) subsequently become exercisable, for the periods
      indicated below, if any, but shall terminate automatically and without
      further notice on the earliest of the following dates:

      (a)         DEATH WHILE EMPLOYED. Five (5) years after the Optionee's
            death if the Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer;

      (b)         DISABILITY. Five (5) years after the date of the termination
            of the Optionee's employment because of permanent and total
            disability if the Optionee becomes permanently and totally disabled
            as defined in the Company's 401(k) Plan at the time of said
            disability, while an employee of the Employer;

      (c)         RETIREMENT. Five (5) years after the Optionee's termination of
            employment with the Employer following attainment of age 50 and
            after completion of that number of years of service which, when
            added to the Optionee's age, equals at least 75; for these purposes,
            years of service shall be determined according to the rules
            contained in the Company's 401(k) Plan;

      (d)         CHANGE IN CONTROL. Five (5) years after the Optionee' s
            termination of employment with Employer following a Change in
            Control of the Company, provided, however, that in the event that
            the Optionee's employment is terminated voluntarily by the Optionee
            or by the Employer for Cause, the Agreement shall terminate at the
            time of such termination notwithstanding this subparagraph. For
            purposes of this provision, "Cause" shall mean the Optionee shall
            have committed prior to termination of employment any of the
            following acts:

                                        3
<PAGE>

            (i)         an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any
                  other material violation of law (A) in connection with the
                  Optionee's duties or in the course of the Optionee's
                  employment with the Employer, or (B) which is otherwise
                  materially injurious to the Employer, monetarily or otherwise;

            (ii)        intentional wrongful damage to material assets of the
                  Employer;

            (iii)       intentional wrongful disclosure of material confidential
                  information of the Employer;

            (iv)        intentional wrongful engagement in any competitive
                  activity that would constitute a material breach of the
                  duty of loyalty; or

            (v)         intentional breach of any stated material employment
                  policy of the Employer;

      (e)         MANAGEMENT RESTRUCTURING. One (1) year after the Optionee's
            termination of employment with the Employer due to the Employer's
            elimination of the Optionee's particular responsibilities due to
            management restructuring;

      (f)         TERMINATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 3(b). In the event Optionee
            remains employed through [DATE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT TERMINATES] (or
            any later date which is the expiration date of a written employment
            agreement, or extension thereof, between the Optionee and the
            Company or a Subsidiary), but Optionee's employment terminates prior
            to the date indicated on Schedule A, other than by the Company for
            Cause, the Option shall terminate ten (10) days after said
            termination.

      (g)         OTHER TERMINATIONS. The date the Optionee ceases to be an
            employee of the Employer, for any reason other than as described in
            this Section 6 hereof; or

      (h)         EXPIRATION OF TEN YEARS. Ten (10) years from the Date of
            Grant;

provided, however, that the period for exercise will not expire (unless required
by subparagraph (g) hereof), prior to six (6) months after the Optionee's death
if the Optionee dies after termination of employment with the Employer but
within one of the periods described in subparagraphs (b) through (e) above, if
applicable.

This Agreement shall not be exercisable for any number of Optioned Shares in
excess of the number of Optioned Shares for which this Agreement is then
exercisable, pursuant to Sections 3 and 7 hereof and subject to Section 3(b), on
the date of termination of employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
continuous employment of the Optionee with the Employer shall not be deemed to
have been interrupted, and the Optionee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be
an employee of the Employer, by reason of the transfer of his employment among
the Company and its Subsidiaries or a Company-approved leave of absence.

7.          ACCELERATION OF OPTION. Notwithstanding Section 3, but subject to
      earlier termination, the Option granted hereby shall become immediately
      exercisable in full in the event of a Change of Control.

8.          NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
      confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of
      employment by the Employer nor limit or

                                        4
<PAGE>

      affect in any manner the right of the Employer to terminate the employment
      or adjust the compensation of the Optionee.

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Employer shall be required to withhold
      any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the exercise
      of the Option, and the amounts available to the Employer for such
      withholding are insufficient, the Optionee shall pay the tax or make
      provisions that are satisfactory to the Employer for the payment thereof.
      The Optionee may elect to satisfy all or any part of the minimum statutory
      withholding obligation by surrendering to the Employer a portion of the
      Optioned Shares that are issued or transferred to the Optionee upon the
      exercise of the Option, and the Optioned Shares so surrendered by the
      Optionee shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the
      Market Value per Share of such shares on the date of such surrender. The
      Employer will pay any and all issue and other taxes in the nature thereof
      which may be payable by the Employer in respect of any issue or delivery
      upon a purchase pursuant to this Option.

10.         COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Employer shall make reasonable efforts to
      comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws;
      provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
      the Option shall not be exercisable if the exercise thereof would result
      in a violation of any such law.

11.         ADJUSTMENTS. The Committee may make or provide for such adjustments
      in the number of Optioned Shares covered by this Option, in the Option
      Price applicable to such Option, and in the kind of shares covered
      thereby, as the Committee may determine is equitably required to prevent
      dilution or enlargement of the Optionee's rights that otherwise would
      result from (a) any combination of shares, recapitalization, or other
      change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger,
      consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization,
      partial or complete liquidation, or other distribution of assets or
      issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other
      corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the
      foregoing; provided however, that no such adjustment in the number of
      Optioned Shares will be made unless such adjustment would change by more
      than 5 % the number of Optioned Shares issuable upon exercise of this
      Option. Similar adjustments shall be made automatically in the event of a
      stock dividend or stock split, on a purely mathematical basis. Any
      adjustment which by reason of this Section 11 is not required to be made
      currently will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
      adjustment. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee
      may provide in substitution for this Option such alternative consideration
      as it may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require
      in connection therewith the surrender of this Option.

12.         AVAILABILITY OF COMMON SHARES. The Company shall at all times until
      the expiration of the Option reserve and keep available, either in its
      treasury or out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, the full
      number of Optioned Shares deliverable upon the exercise of this Option.

13.         RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. Any economic or other benefit to the
      Optionee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in
      determining any benefits to which the Optionee may be entitled under any
      profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan
      maintained by the Employer and shall not affect the amount of any life
      insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance
      plan covering employees of the Company.

14.         AMENDMENTS. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an
      amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable
      hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the
      rights of the Optionee or Transferee, as appropriate, under

                                       5
<PAGE>

      this Agreement without said Optionee's or Transferee's consent.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be amended in such
      particulars as are necessary or appropriate to reflect the applicable
      provisions of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
      amended, in order to avoid current taxation of the grant made pursuant
      hereto, and to avoid any penalty taxes imposed on noncomplying
      arrangements.

15.         SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
      this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
      jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable
      from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof
      shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

16.         RELATION TO PLAN. This Agreement is subject to the terms and
      conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistent provisions
      between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. Capitalized
      terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to
      them in the Plan. The Committee acting pursuant to the Plan, as
      constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided
      otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions which arise in
      connection with this option or its exercise.

17.         SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Without limiting Section 4 hereof, the
      provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
      upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and
      assigns of the Optionee or Transferee, as appropriate, and the successors
      and assigns of the Employer.

18.         GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of
      this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia,
      without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

19.         NOTICES. Any notice to the Company provided for herein shall be in
      writing to the Company, marked Attention: Stock Option Administrator,
      ChoicePoint Inc., Mail Drop 71-B, 1000 Alderman Drive, Alpharetta, Georgia
      30005, and any notice to the Optionee shall be addressed to said Optionee
      at his or her address currently on file with the Company. Except as
      otherwise provided herein, any written notice shall be deemed to be duly
      given if and when delivered personally or deposited in the United States
      mail, first class registered mail, postage and fees prepaid, and addressed
      as aforesaid. Any party may change the address to which notices are to be
      given hereunder by written notice to the other party as herein specified
      (provided that for this purpose any mailed notice shall be deemed given on
      the third business day following deposit of the same in the United States
      mail).

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed
on its behalf and that of any Employer by which the Optionee is employed by its
duly authorized officer and Optionee has also executed this Agreement in
duplicate, as of the day and year first above written.

                                CHOICEPOINT INC.
                  NONQUALIFIED EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      This AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of _______________ (the "Date
of Grant") by and between CHOICEPOINT INC., a Georgia corporation (the
"Company") on behalf of itself and any Subsidiary which is the employer of the
Optionee, and ____________ (the "Optionee"). As used in this Agreement, the word
"Employer" shall mean both the Company and any such employing Subsidiary.

1.          GRANT OF STOCK OPTION. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions,
      and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company's 2003
      Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company hereby grants to the
      Optionee as of the Date of Grant a stock option (the "Option") to purchase
      __________ Common Shares of the Company's stock (the "Optioned Shares").
      The Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the terms
      of this Agreement. The price at which the Optioned Shares may be purchased
      pursuant to this Option shall be $_____ per share subject to adjustment as
      hereinafter provided (the "Option Price"). The Option is intended to be a
      nonqualified stock option and shall not be treated as an "incentive stock
      option" within the meaning of that term under Section 422 of the Code, or
      any successor provision thereto.

2.          TERM OF OPTION. The term of the Option shall commence on the Date of
      Grant and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof,
      shall expire ten (10) years from the Date of Grant.

3.          RIGHT TO EXERCISE.

      (a)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, the Option shall
            become exercisable in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto so
            long as the Optionee remains in the employ of the Company or a
            Subsidiary.

      (b)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, the Option shall
            continue to vest consistent with the original vesting schedule in
            the event Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer.

      (c)         To the extent the Option is exercisable, it may be exercised
            in whole or in part. In no event shall the Optionee be entitled to
            acquire a fraction of one Optioned Share pursuant to this Option.
            The Optionee shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership with
            respect to Optioned Shares purchased and delivered to him upon the
            exercise of all or part of this Option.

      (d)         Subject to the expiration or earlier termination of the
            Option, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for additional
            vesting following the Optionee's termination of employment with the
            Employer, or the termination of the Employer's status as an
            affiliate of the Company as described in subparagraph (a) above.

4.          RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF OPTION. The Option granted hereby:

      (a)         may not be sold, pledged, exchanged, or otherwise encumbered
            or disposed of by Optionee, and

      (b)         may not be assigned or transferred except (A) to a Family
            Member of the Optionee, or entities controlled by or
            benefiting them, as described in Section 12 of the

<PAGE>

            Plan, and then (B) (i) if during the Optionee's life, only upon the
            approval of the Company's Chief Financial Officer and/or its Vice
            President with responsibility for compensation and benefits, or (ii)
            by execution and delivery of a Beneficiary Designation Form provided
            by the Company or, if none, (iii) by will or by the laws of descent
            and distribution. The Option may be exercised, during the lifetime
            of the Optionee, only by the Optionee, (or if transferred, during
            the lifetime of the Transferee, only by the Transferee), or in the
            event of his or her legal incapacity, by his or her guardian or
            legal representative acting on behalf of the Optionee or Transferee,
            as appropriate, in a fiduciary capacity under state law and court
            supervision.

Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Option that is
in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void, and the other party to
any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in the
Option.

5.          NOTICE OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT.

      (a)         To the extent then exercisable, the Option may be exercised by
            written notice to the Company stating the number of Optioned Shares
            for which the Option is being exercised and the intended manner of
            payment. Payment equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Optioned
            Shares being exercised shall be tendered in full with the notice of
            exercise to the Company in cash in the form of U.S. currency or
            check or other cash equivalent acceptable to the Company. The date
            of such notice shall be the exercise date.

      (b)         In the Committee's discretion, the Optionee may also tender
            the Option Price by (i) the actual or constructive transfer to the
            Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that have
            been owned by the Optionee for (x) more than one year prior to the
            date of exercise and for more than two years from the date on which
            the option was granted, if they were originally acquired by the
            Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, or
            (y) more than six months prior to the date of exercise, if they were
            originally acquired by the Optionee other than pursuant to the
            exercise of an incentive stock option, or (ii) by any combination of
            the foregoing methods of payment, including a partial tender in cash
            and a partial tender in nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares.
            To the extent permitted by law, the requirement of payment in cash
            shall be deemed satisfied if the Optionee shall have made
            arrangements satisfactory to the Company with a broker who is a
            member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. to
            sell on the date of exercise a sufficient number of the Common
            Shares being purchased so that the net proceeds of the sale
            transaction will at least equal the aggregate Exercise Price, plus
            interest at the applicable federal rate for the period from the date
            of exercise to the date of payment, and pursuant to which the broker
            undertakes to deliver the aggregate Exercise Price, plus such
            interest, to the Company not later than the date on which the sale
            transaction will settle in the ordinary course of business. In the
            event the option has been transferred pursuant to Section 4 above,
            the word Transferee shall be substituted for Optionee in the
            foregoing provisions of this subsection (b).

      (c)         Within ten (10) days after notice, the Company shall direct
            the due issuance of the Optioned Shares so purchased.

      (d)         Nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that are
            transferred in payment of all or any part of the Option Price shall
            be valued on the basis of their Market Value per Share as defined in
            the Plan.

                                        2
<PAGE>

      (e)         As a further condition precedent to the exercise of this
            Option, the Optionee or Transferee, as appropriate, shall comply
            with all regulations and the requirements of any regulatory
            authority having control of, or supervision over, the issuance of
            Common Shares and in connection therewith shall execute any
            documents which the Committee shall in its sole discretion deem
            necessary or advisable.

6.          TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. The Agreement and the Option granted
      hereby shall continue to the extent the Options have previously or,
      pursuant to Section 3(b) subsequently become exercisable, for the periods
      indicated below, if any, but shall terminate automatically and without
      further notice on the earliest of the following dates:

      (a)         DEATH WHILE EMPLOYED. Five (5) years after the Optionee's
            death if the Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer;

      (b)         DISABILITY. Five (5) years after the date of the termination
            of the Optionee's employment because of permanent and total
            disability if the Optionee becomes permanently and totally disabled
            as defined in the Company's 401(k) Plan at the time of said
            disability, while an employee of the Employer;

      (c)         RETIREMENT. Five (5) years after the Optionee's termination of
            employment with the Employer following attainment of age 50 and
            after completion of that number of years of service which, when
            added to the Optionee's age, equals at least 75; for these purposes,
            years of service shall be determined according to the rules
            contained in the Company's 401(k) Plan;

      (d)         CHANGE IN CONTROL. Five (5) years after the Optionee' s
            termination of employment with Employer following a Change in
            Control of the Company, provided, however, that in the event that
            the Optionee's employment is terminated for Cause, the Agreement
            shall terminate at the time of such termination notwithstanding this
            subparagraph. For purposes of this provision, "Cause" shall mean the
            Optionee shall have committed prior to termination of employment any
            of the following acts:

            (i)         an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any
                  other material violation of law (A) in connection with the
                  Optionee's duties or in the course of the Optionee's
                  employment with the Employer, or (B) which is otherwise
                  materially injurious to the Employer, monetarily or otherwise;

            (ii)        intentional wrongful damage to material assets of the
                  Employer;

            (iii)       intentional wrongful disclosure of material confidential
                  information of the Employer;

            (iv)        intentional wrongful engagement in any competitive
                  activity that would constitute a material breach of the duty
                  of loyalty; or

            (v)         intentional breach of any stated material employment
                  policy of the Employer;

                                        3
<PAGE>

      (e)         MANAGEMENT RESTRUCTURING. One (1) year after the Optionee's
            termination of employment with the Employer due to the Employer's
            elimination of the Optionee's particular responsibilities due to
            management restructuring;

      (f)         OTHER TERMINATIONS. The date the Optionee ceases to be an
            employee of the Employer, for any reason other than as described in
            this Section 6 hereof; or

      (g)         EXPIRATION OF TEN YEARS. Ten (10) years from the Date of
            Grant;

provided, however, that the period for exercise will not expire (unless required
by subparagraph (g) hereof), prior to six (6) months after the Optionee's death
if the Optionee dies after termination of employment with the Employer but
within one of the periods described in subparagraphs (b) through (e) above, if
applicable.

This Agreement shall not be exercisable for any number of Optioned Shares in
excess of the number of Optioned Shares for which this Agreement is then
exercisable, pursuant to Sections 3 and 7 hereof and subject to Section 3(b), on
the date of termination of employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
continuous employment of the Optionee with the Employer shall not be deemed to
have been interrupted, and the Optionee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be
an employee of the Employer, by reason of the transfer of his employment among
the Company and its Subsidiaries or a Company-approved leave of absence.

7.          ACCELERATION OF OPTION. Notwithstanding Section 3, but subject to
      earlier termination, the Option granted hereby shall become immediately
      exercisable in full in the event of a Change of Control.

8.          NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
      confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of
      employment by the Employer nor limit or affect in any manner the right of
      the Employer to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the
      Optionee.

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Employer shall be required to withhold
      any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the exercise
      of the Option, and the amounts available to the Employer for such
      withholding are insufficient, the Optionee shall pay the tax or make
      provisions that are satisfactory to the Employer for the payment thereof.
      The Optionee may elect to satisfy all or any part of the minimum statutory
      withholding obligation by surrendering to the Employer a portion of the
      Optioned Shares that are issued or transferred to the Optionee upon the
      exercise of the Option, and the Optioned Shares so surrendered by the
      Optionee shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the
      Market Value per Share of such shares on the date of such surrender. The
      Employer will pay any and all issue and other taxes in the nature thereof
      which may be payable by the Employer in respect of any issue or delivery
      upon a purchase pursuant to this Option.

10.         COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Employer shall make reasonable efforts to
      comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws;
      provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
      the Option shall not be exercisable if the exercise thereof would result
      in a violation of any such law.

11.         ADJUSTMENTS. The Committee may make or provide for such adjustments
      in the number of Optioned Shares covered by this Option, in the Option
      Price applicable to such Option, and in the kind of shares covered
      thereby, as the Committee may determine is equitably required to

                                        4
<PAGE>

      prevent dilution or enlargement of the Optionee's rights that otherwise
      would result from (a) any combination of shares, recapitalization, or
      other change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger,
      consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization,
      partial or complete liquidation, or other distribution of assets or
      issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other
      corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the
      foregoing; provided however, that no such adjustment in the number of
      Optioned Shares will be made unless such adjustment would change by more
      than 5 % the number of Optioned Shares issuable upon exercise of this
      Option. Similar adjustments shall be made automatically in the event of a
      stock dividend or stock split, on a purely mathematical basis. Any
      adjustment which by reason of this Section 11 is not required to be made
      currently will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
      adjustment. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee
      may provide in substitution for this Option such alternative consideration
      as it may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require
      in connection therewith the surrender of this Option.

12.         AVAILABILITY OF COMMON SHARES. The Company shall at all times until
      the expiration of the Option reserve and keep available, either in its
      treasury or out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, the full
      number of Optioned Shares deliverable upon the exercise of this Option.

13.         RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. Any economic or other benefit to the
      Optionee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in
      determining any benefits to which the Optionee may be entitled under any
      profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan
      maintained by the Employer and shall not affect the amount of any life
      insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance
      plan covering employees of the Company.

14.         AMENDMENTS. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an
      amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable
      hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the
      rights of the Optionee or Transferee, as appropriate, under this Agreement
      without said Optionee's or Transferee's consent. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, this Agreement shall be amended in such particulars as are
      necessary or appropriate to reflect the applicable provisions of section
      409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in order to avoid
      current taxation of the grant made pursuant hereto, and to avoid any
      penalty taxes imposed on noncomplying arrangements.

15.         SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
      this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
      jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable
      from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof
      shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

16.         RELATION TO PLAN. This Agreement is subject to the terms and
      conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistent provisions
      between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. Capitalized
      terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to
      them in the Plan. The Committee acting pursuant to the Plan, as
      constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided
      otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions which arise in
      connection with this option or its exercise.

17.         SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Without limiting Section 4 hereof, the
      provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
      upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and
      assigns of the Optionee or Transferee, as appropriate, and the successors
      and assigns of the Employer.

                                        5

18.         GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of
      this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia,
      without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

19.         NOTICES. Any notice to the Company provided for herein shall be in
      writing to the Company, marked Attention: Stock Option Administrator,

      30005, and any notice to the Optionee shall be addressed to said Optionee
      at his or her address currently on file with the Company. Except as
      otherwise provided herein, any written notice shall be deemed to be duly
      given if and when delivered personally or deposited in the United States
      mail, first class registered mail, postage and fees prepaid, and addressed
      as aforesaid. Any party may change the address to which notices are to be

      (provided that for this purpose any mailed notice shall be deemed given on
      the third business day following deposit of the same in the United States
      mail).

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed
on its behalf and that of any Employer by which the Optionee is employed by its
duly authorized officer and Optionee has also executed this Agreement in
duplicate, as of the day and year first above written.

              _________Non Qualified Stock Option Number <<OPTNO>>

                                   SCHEDULE A

            The Option may vest upon achieving certain performance criteria for
the three-year performance period starting January 1, 200X. The performance
criteria are as follows:

      1.    ChoicePoint Inc. Operating Profit Goal must be achieved by December
            31, 200X.

            -     Minimum - $ XXX million

            -     Maximum - $ XXX million

            -     The number of performance-based stock option grants vesting,
                  subject to Operating Profit Goals, will be interpolated based
                  on actual cumulative Operating Income for the calendar years
                  200X, 200X, 200X. Vesting is subject to Compensation Committee
                  certification during the first quarter 200X.

      2.    Stock Price Goal: $XX.00 per share

            -          CPS stock must trade at or above $XX.00 for a minimum of
                  20 consecutive trading days before the stock price goal is
                  satisfied. Such goal must be met prior to February 1, 200X
                  (three years from grant) to vest based upon stock price.

            The performance-based grants may vest with satisfaction of either
the Operating Profit Goal or the stock price goal. In the event that neither
goal vests all the performance-based option grant, the remaining unvested
portion of the performance-based option grant shall vest February 1, 20XX (seven
years from grant) based on continuous employment with the company.

            The number of shares and the stock price goals are subject to
adjustment based upon capital structure changes such as a stock split.

                                CHOICEPOINT INC.
                    EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of _______________ (the "Date of
Grant") by and between CHOICEPOINT INC., a Georgia corporation (the "Company")
on behalf of itself and any Subsidiary which is the employer of the Optionee,
and __________________ (the "Optionee"). As used in this Agreement, the word
"Employer" shall mean both the Company and any such employing Subsidiary.

1.          GRANT OF STOCK OPTION. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions,
      and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company's 2003
      Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company hereby grants to the
      Optionee as of the Date of Grant a stock option (the "Option") to purchase
      _____________ Common Shares of the Company's stock (the "Optioned
      Shares"). The Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with
      the terms of this Agreement. The price at which the Optioned Shares may be
      purchased pursuant to this Option shall be $_______ per share subject to
      adjustment as hereinafter provided (the "Option Price"), which is no less
      than the fair market value of the Shares on the Date of Grant. The Option
      is intended to be an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of that
      term under Section 422 of the Code, and any successor provision thereto.

2.          TERM OF OPTION. The term of the Option shall commence on the Date of
      Grant and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof,
      shall expire ten (10) years from the Date of Grant.

3.          RIGHT TO EXERCISE.

      (a)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, the Option shall
            become exercisable in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto so
            long as the Optionee remains in the employ of the Company or a
            Subsidiary.

      (b)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, the Option shall
            continue to vest consistent with the original vesting schedule in
            the event Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer.

      (c)         To the extent the Option is exercisable, it may be exercised
            in whole or in part. In no event shall the Optionee be entitled to
            acquire a fraction of one Optioned Share pursuant to this Option.
            The Optionee shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership with
            respect to Optioned Shares purchased and delivered to him upon the
            exercise of all or part of this Option.

      (d)         Subject to the expiration or earlier termination of the
            Option, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for additional
            vesting following the Optionee's termination of employment with the
            Employer, or the termination of the Employer's status as an
            affiliate of the Company as described in subparagraph (a) above.

4.          OPTION NONTRANSFERABLE. The Option granted hereby shall be neither
      transferable nor assignable by the Optionee other than by will or by the
      laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime
      of the Optionee, only by the Optionee, or in the event of his or

<PAGE>

      her legal incapacity, by his or her guardian or legal representative
      acting on behalf of the Optionee in a fiduciary capacity under state law
      and court supervision.

5.          NOTICE OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT.

      (a)         To the extent then exercisable, the Option may be exercised by
            written notice to the Company stating the number of Optioned Shares
            for which the Option is being exercised and the intended manner of
            payment. Payment equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Optioned
            Shares being exercised shall be tendered in full with the notice of
            exercise to the Company in cash in the form of U.S. currency or
            check or other cash equivalent acceptable to the Company. The date
            of such notice shall be the exercise date.

      (b)         In the Committee's discretion, the Optionee may also tender
            the Option Price by (i) the actual or constructive transfer to the
            Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that have
            been owned by the Optionee for (x) more than one year prior to the
            date of exercise and for more than two years from the date on which
            the option was granted, if they were originally acquired by the
            Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, or
            (y) more than six months prior to the date of exercise, if they were
            originally acquired by the Optionee other than pursuant to the
            exercise of an incentive stock option, or (ii) by any combination of
            the foregoing methods of payment, including a partial tender in cash
            and a partial tender in nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares.
            To the extent permitted by law, the requirement of payment in cash
            shall be deemed satisfied if the Optionee shall have made
            arrangements satisfactory to the Company with a broker who is a
            member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. to
            sell on the date of exercise a sufficient number of the Common
            Shares being purchased so that the net proceeds of the sale
            transaction will at least equal the aggregate Exercise Price, plus
            interest at the applicable federal rate for the period from the date
            of exercise to the date of payment, and pursuant to which the broker
            undertakes to deliver the aggregate Exercise Price, plus such
            interest, to the Company not later than the date on which the sale
            transaction will settle in the ordinary course of business.

      (c)         Within ten (10) days after notice, the Company shall direct
            the due issuance of the Optioned Shares so purchased.

      (d)         Nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that are
            transferred by the Optionee in payment of all or any part of the
            Option Price shall be valued on the basis of their Market Value per
            Share as defined in the Plan.

      (e)         As a further condition precedent to the exercise of this
            Option, the Optionee shall comply with all regulations and the
            requirements of any regulatory authority having control of, or
            supervision over, the issuance of Common Shares and in connection
            therewith shall execute any documents which the Committee shall in
            its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable.

6.          TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. The Agreement and the Option granted
      hereby shall continue to the extent the Options have previously become
      exercisable for the periods indicated below, if any, but shall terminate
      automatically and without further notice on the earliest of the following
      dates:

      (a)         DEATH WHILE EMPLOYED. Five (5) years after the Optionee's
            death if the Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer;

                                        2
<PAGE>

      (b)         DISABILITY. Five (5) years after the date of the termination
            of the Optionee's employment because of permanent and total
            disability if the Optionee becomes permanently and totally disabled
            as defined in the Company's 401(k) Plan at the time of said
            disability, while an employee of the Employer;

      (c)         RETIREMENT. Five (5) years after the Optionee's termination of
            employment with the Employer following attainment of age 50 and
            after completion of that number of years of service which, when
            added to the Optionee's age, equals at least 75; for these purposes,
            years of service shall be determined according to the rules
            contained in the Company's 401(k) Plan;

      (d)         CHANGE IN CONTROL. Five (5) years after the Optionee's
            termination of employment with Employer following a Change in
            Control of the Company, provided, however, that in the event that
            the Optionee's employment is terminated voluntarily by the Optionee,
            or by the Employer for Cause, the Agreement shall terminate at the
            time of such termination notwithstanding this subparagraph. For
            purposes of this provision, "Cause" shall mean the Optionee shall
            have committed prior to termination of employment any of the
            following acts:

            (i)         an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any
                  other material violation of law (A) in connection with the
                  Optionee's duties or in the course of the Optionee's
                  employment with the Employer, or (B) which is otherwise
                  materially injurious to the Employer, monetarily or otherwise;

            (ii)        intentional wrongful damage to material assets of the
                  Employer;

            (iii)       intentional wrongful disclosure of material confidential
                  information of the Employer;

            (iv)        intentional wrongful engagement in any competitive
                  activity that would constitute a material breach of the
                  duty of loyalty; or

            (v)         intentional breach of any stated material employment
                  policy of the Employer;

      (e)         MANAGEMENT RESTRUCTURING. One (1) year after the Optionee's
            termination of employment with the Employer due to the Employer's
            elimination of the Optionee's particular responsibilities due to
            management restructuring;

      (f)         OTHER TERMINATIONS. The date the Optionee ceases to be an
            employee of the Employer, for any reason other than as described in
            this Section 6 hereof; or

      (g)         EXPIRATION OF TEN YEARS. Ten (10) years from the Date of
            Grant;

provided, however, that the period for exercise will not expire (unless required
by subparagraph (g) hereof), prior to six (6) months after the Optionee's death
if the Optionee dies after termination of employment with the Employer but
within one of the periods described in subparagraphs (b) through (e) above, if
applicable. The periods of exercise permitted above are provided,
notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of the Option during the extension of
said exercise period beyond the three-month period (or

                                        3
<PAGE>

one-year period following disability) required for incentive stock options may
result in its treatment as a nonqualified stock option.

This Agreement shall not be exercisable for any number of Optioned Shares in
excess of the number of Optioned Shares for which this Agreement is then
exercisable, pursuant to Sections 3 and 7 hereof, on the date of termination of
employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employment of the
Optionee with the Employer shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the
Optionee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Employer,
by reason of the transfer of his employment among the Company and its
Subsidiaries or a Company-approved leave of absence.

7.          ACCELERATION OF OPTION. Notwithstanding Section 3, but subject to
      earlier termination, the Option granted hereby shall become immediately
      exercisable in full in the event of a Change of Control.

8.          NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
      confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of
      employment by the Employer nor limit or affect in any manner the right of
      the Employer to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the
      Optionee.

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Employer shall be required to withhold
      any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the exercise
      of the Option, and the amounts available to the Employer for such
      withholding are insufficient, the Optionee shall pay the tax or make
      provisions that are satisfactory to the Employer for the payment thereof.
      The Optionee may elect to satisfy all or any part of the minimum statutory
      withholding obligation by surrendering to the Employer a portion of the
      Optioned Shares that are issued or transferred to the Optionee upon the
      exercise of the Option, and the Optioned Shares so surrendered by the
      Optionee shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the
      Market Value per Share of such shares on the date of such surrender. The
      Employer will pay any and all issue and other taxes in the nature thereof
      which may be payable by the Employer in respect of any issue or delivery
      upon a purchase pursuant to this Option.

10.         COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Employer shall make reasonable efforts to
      comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws;
      provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
      the Option shall not be exercisable if the exercise thereof would result
      in a violation of any such law.

11.         ADJUSTMENTS. The Committee may make or provide for such adjustments
      in the number of Optioned Shares covered by this Option, in the Option
      Price applicable to such Option, and in the kind of shares covered
      thereby, as the Committee may determine is equitably required to prevent
      dilution or enlargement of the Optionee's rights that otherwise would
      result from (a) any combination of shares, recapitalization, or other
      change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger,
      consolidation, spin- off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization,
      partial or complete liquidation, or other distribution of assets or
      issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other
      corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the
      foregoing; provided however, that no such adjustment in the number of
      Optioned Shares will be made unless such adjustment would change by more
      than 5% the number of Optioned Shares issuable upon exercise of this
      Option. Similar adjustments shall be made automatically in the event of a
      stock dividend or stock split, on a purely mathematical basis. Any
      adjustment which by reason of this Section 11 is not required to be made
      currently will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
      adjustment. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee
      may provide in substitution for this Option such alternative consideration
      as it may

                                        4
<PAGE>

      determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in
      connection therewith the surrender of this Option.

12.         AVAILABILITY OF COMMON SHARES. The Company shall at all times until
      the expiration of the Option reserve and keep available, either in its
      treasury or out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, the full
      number of Optioned Shares deliverable upon the exercise of this Option.

13.         RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. Any economic or other benefit to the
      Optionee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in
      determining any benefits to which the Optionee may be entitled under any
      profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan
      maintained by the Employer and shall not affect the amount of any life
      insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance
      plan covering employees of the Company.

14.         AMENDMENTS. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an
      amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable
      hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the
      rights of the Optionee under this Agreement without the Optionee's
      consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be amended in
      such particulars as are necessary or appropriate to reflect the applicable
      provisions of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
      amended, in order to avoid current taxation of the grant made pursuant
      hereto, and to avoid any penalty taxes imposed on noncomplying
      arrangements.

15.         SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
      this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
      jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable
      from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof
      shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

16.         RELATION TO PLAN. This Agreement is subject to the terms and
      conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistent provisions
      between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. Capitalized
      terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to
      them in the Plan. The Committee acting pursuant to the Plan, as
      constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided
      otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions which arise in
      connection with this option or its exercise.

17.         SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. In the event
      that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the Date of Grant,
      i.e., the Option Price) of shares with respect to which incentive stock
      options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any
      calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Employer) exceeds
      $100,000, such options representing such excess shall be treated as
      options which are not incentive stock options, in accordance with the
      rules of Section 422(d) of the Code. To the extent that the Optionee
      disposes of a share received pursuant to the exercise of this Option
      within two (2) years from the Date of Grant or one (1) year from the date
      of exercise, it may not be treated as an incentive stock option.
      Furthermore, in the event that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 6,
      above, an Optionee is permitted to exercise, and does exercise, an Option
      at a date later than three (3) months following termination of employment
      (or one (1) year in the event of disability), said Option may not be
      treated as an incentive stock option.

18.         SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Without limiting Section 4 hereof, the
      provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
      upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and
      assigns of the Optionee, and the successors and assigns of the Employer.

                                        5

19.         GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of
      this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia,
      without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

20.         NOTICES. Any notice to the Company provided for herein shall be in
      writing to the Company, marked Attention: Stock Option Administrator,
      ChoicePoint Inc., Mail Drop 71-B, 1000 Alderman Drive, Alpharetta, Georgia
      30005, and any notice to the Optionee shall be addressed to said Optionee
      at his or her address currently on file with the Company. Except as
      otherwise provided herein, any written notice shall be deemed to be duly
      given if and when delivered personally or deposited in the United States
      mail, first class registered mail, postage and fees prepaid, and addressed
      as aforesaid. Any party may change the address to which notices are to be
      given hereunder by written notice to the other party as herein specified
      (provided that for this purpose any mailed notice shall be deemed given on
      the third business day following deposit of the same in the United States
      mail).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed on its
behalf and that of any Employer by which the Optionee is employed by its duly
authorized officer and Optionee has also executed this Agreement in duplicate,
as of the day and year first above written.

                                CHOICEPOINT INC.
                    EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of _______________ (the "Date of
Grant") by and between CHOICEPOINT INC., a Georgia corporation (the "Company")
on behalf of itself and any Subsidiary which is the employer of the Optionee,
and __________________ (the "Optionee"). As used in this Agreement, the word
"Employer" shall mean both the Company and any such employing Subsidiary.

1.          GRANT OF STOCK OPTION. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions,
      and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company's 2003
      Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company hereby grants to the
      Optionee as of the Date of Grant a stock option (the "Option") to purchase
      _____________ Common Shares of the Company's stock (the "Optioned
      Shares"). The Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with
      the terms of this Agreement. The price at which the Optioned Shares may be
      purchased pursuant to this Option shall be $_______ per share subject to
      adjustment as hereinafter provided (the "Option Price"), which is no less
      than the fair market value of the Shares on the Date of Grant. The Option
      is intended to be an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of that
      term under Section 422 of the Code, and any successor provision thereto.

2.          TERM OF OPTION. The term of the Option shall commence on the Date of
      Grant and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6 hereof,
      shall expire ten (10) years from the Date of Grant.

3.          RIGHT TO EXERCISE.

      (a)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, and subject to
            the remaining provisions of this Section 3, the Option shall become
            exercisable in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto so long as
            the Optionee remains in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary.

      (b)         In the event that Optionee's employment with the Company or a
            Subsidiary terminates on or subsequent to [DATE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
            TERMINATES] (or any later date which is the expiration date of a
            written employment agreement, or extension thereof, between the
            Optionee and the Company or a Subsidiary), but (i) prior to the
            Option having vested in full pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this
            Section 3 or Section 7, and (ii) other than for Cause, this Option
            shall nonetheless become exercisable on the date of termination as
            to that percentage of the Common Shares referred to in Section 1 (as
            adjusted, if appropriate) as (i) the number of calendar months of
            Optionee's employment during the period from the Date of Grant
            through the date of termination of employment represents when
            divided by (ii) [NUMBER OF TOTAL MONTHS IN THE CLIFF VESTING PERIOD
            ON SCHEDULE A]. For those purposes, if Optionee provides services
            for a portion but not all of a calendar month, he shall nonetheless
            be credited with a full calendar month of employment. In the event
            that said calculation results in an award of a fractional share, the
            number shall be increased to the next full share.

      (c)         Subject to expiration or earlier termination, the Option shall
            continue to vest consistent with the original vesting schedule in
            the event Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer.

<PAGE>

      (d)         To the extent the Option is exercisable, it may be exercised
            in whole or in part. In no event shall the Optionee be entitled to
            acquire a fraction of one Optioned Share pursuant to this Option.
            The Optionee shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership with
            respect to Optioned Shares purchased and delivered to him upon the
            exercise of all or part of this Option.

      (e)         Subject to the expiration or earlier termination of the
            Option, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for additional
            vesting following the Optionee's termination of employment with the
            Employer, or the termination of the Employer's status as an
            affiliate of the Company as described in subparagraph (a) above.

4.          OPTION NONTRANSFERABLE. The Option granted hereby shall be neither
      transferable nor assignable by the Optionee other than by will or by the
      laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime
      of the Optionee, only by the Optionee, or in the event of his or her legal
      incapacity, by his or her guardian or legal representative acting on
      behalf of the Optionee in a fiduciary capacity under state law and court
      supervision.

5.          NOTICE OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT.

      (a)         To the extent then exercisable, the Option may be exercised by
            written notice to the Company stating the number of Optioned Shares
            for which the Option is being exercised and the intended manner of
            payment. Payment equal to the aggregate Option Price of the Optioned
            Shares being exercised shall be tendered in full with the notice of
            exercise to the Company in cash in the form of U.S. currency or
            check or other cash equivalent acceptable to the Company. The date
            of such notice shall be the exercise date.

      (b)         In the Committee's discretion, the Optionee may also tender
            the Option Price by (i) the actual or constructive transfer to the
            Company of nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that have
            been owned by the Optionee for (x) more than one year prior to the
            date of exercise and for more than two years from the date on which
            the option was granted, if they were originally acquired by the
            Optionee pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option, or
            (y) more than six months prior to the date of exercise, if they were
            originally acquired by the Optionee other than pursuant to the
            exercise of an incentive stock option, or (ii) by any combination of
            the foregoing methods of payment, including a partial tender in cash
            and a partial tender in nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares.
            To the extent permitted by law, the requirement of payment in cash
            shall be deemed satisfied if the Optionee shall have made
            arrangements satisfactory to the Company with a broker who is a
            member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. to
            sell on the date of exercise a sufficient number of the Common
            Shares being purchased so that the net proceeds of the sale
            transaction will at least equal the aggregate Exercise Price, plus
            interest at the applicable federal rate for the period from the date
            of exercise to the date of payment, and pursuant to which the broker
            undertakes to deliver the aggregate Exercise Price, plus such
            interest, to the Company not later than the date on which the sale
            transaction will settle in the ordinary course of business.

      (c)         Within ten (10) days after notice, the Company shall direct
            the due issuance of the Optioned Shares so purchased.

                                        2

      (d)         Nonforfeitable, nonrestricted Common Shares that are
            transferred by the Optionee in payment of all or any part of the
            Option Price shall be valued on the basis of their Market Value per
            Share as defined in the Plan.

      (e)         As a further condition precedent to the exercise of this
            Option, the Optionee shall comply with all regulations and the
            requirements of any regulatory authority having control of, or
            supervision over, the issuance of Common Shares and in connection
            therewith shall execute any documents which the Committee shall in
            its sole discretion deem necessary or advisable.

6.          TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. The Agreement and the Option granted
      hereby shall continue to the extent the Options have previously become
      exercisable for the periods indicated below, if any, but shall terminate
      automatically and without further notice on the earliest of the following
      dates:

      (a)         DEATH WHILE EMPLOYED. Five (5) years after the Optionee's
            death if the Optionee dies while in the employ of the Employer;

      (b)         DISABILITY. Five (5) years after the date of the termination
            of the Optionee's employment because of permanent and total
            disability if the Optionee becomes permanently and totally disabled
            as defined in the Company's 401(k) Plan at the time of said
            disability, while an employee of the Employer;

      (c)         RETIREMENT. Five (5) years after the Optionee's termination of
            employment with the Employer following attainment of age 50 and
            after completion of that number of years of service which, when
            added to the Optionee's age, equals at least 75; for these purposes,
            years of service shall be determined according to the rules
            contained in the Company's 401(k) Plan;

      (d)         CHANGE IN CONTROL. Five (5) years after the Optionee's
            termination of employment with Employer following a Change in
            Control of the Company, provided, however, that in the event that
            the Optionee's employment is terminated voluntarily by the Optionee,
            or by the Employer for Cause, the Agreement shall terminate at the
            time of such termination notwithstanding this subparagraph. For
            purposes of this provision, "Cause" shall mean the Optionee shall
            have committed prior to termination of employment any of the
            following acts:

            (i)         an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any
                  other material violation of law (A) in connection with the
                  Optionee's duties or in the course of the Optionee's
                  employment with the Employer, or (B) which is otherwise
                  materially injurious to the Employer, monetarily or otherwise;

            (ii)        intentional wrongful damage to material assets of the
                  Employer;

            (iii)       intentional wrongful disclosure of material confidential
                  information of the Employer;

            (iv)        intentional wrongful engagement in any competitive
                  activity that would constitute a material breach of the
                  duty of loyalty; or

                                        3
<PAGE>

            (v)         intentional breach of any stated material employment
                  policy of the Employer;

      (e)         MANAGEMENT RESTRUCTURING. One (1) year after the Optionee's
            termination of employment with the Employer due to the Employer's
            elimination of the Optionee's particular responsibilities due to
            management restructuring;

      (f)         TERMINATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 3(B). In the event Optionee
            remains employed through [DATE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT TERMINATES] (or
            any later date which is the expiration date of a written employment
            agreement, or extension thereof, between the Optionee and the
            Company or a Subsidiary), but Optionee's employment terminates prior
            to the date indicated on Schedule A, other than by the Company for
            Cause, the Option shall terminate ten (10) days after said
            termination.

      (g)         OTHER TERMINATIONS. The date the Optionee ceases to be an
            employee of the Employer, for any reason other than as described in
            this Section 6 hereof; or

      (h)         EXPIRATION OF TEN YEARS. Ten (10) years from the Date of
            Grant;

provided, however, that the period for exercise will not expire (unless required
by subparagraph (g) hereof), prior to six (6) months after the Optionee's death
if the Optionee dies after termination of employment with the Employer but
within one of the periods described in subparagraphs (b) through (e) above, if
applicable. The periods of exercise permitted above are provided,
notwithstanding the fact that the exercise of the Option during the extension of
said exercise period beyond the three-month period (or one-year period following
disability) required for incentive stock options may result in its treatment as
a nonqualified stock option.

This Agreement shall not be exercisable for any number of Optioned Shares in
excess of the number of Optioned Shares for which this Agreement is then
exercisable, pursuant to Sections 3 and 7 hereof, on the date of termination of
employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, the continuous employment of the
Optionee with the Employer shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the
Optionee shall not be deemed to have ceased to be an employee of the Employer,
by reason of the transfer of his employment among the Company and its
Subsidiaries or a Company-approved leave of absence.

7.          ACCELERATION OF OPTION. Notwithstanding Section 3, but subject to
      earlier termination, the Option granted hereby shall become immediately
      exercisable in full in the event of a Change of Control.

8.          NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
      confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of
      employment by the Employer nor limit or affect in any manner the right of
      the Employer to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the
      Optionee.

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Employer shall be required to withhold
      any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the exercise
      of the Option, and the amounts available to the Employer for such
      withholding are insufficient, the Optionee shall pay the tax or make
      provisions that are satisfactory to the Employer for the payment thereof.
      The Optionee may elect to satisfy all or any part of the minimum statutory
      withholding obligation by surrendering to the Employer a portion of the
      Optioned Shares that are issued or transferred to the Optionee upon the
      exercise of the Option, and the Optioned Shares so surrendered by the
      Optionee shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the
      Market Value per Share of such shares on the date

                                        4
<PAGE>

      of such surrender. The Employer will pay any and all issue and other taxes
      in the nature thereof which may be payable by the Employer in respect of
      any issue or delivery upon a purchase pursuant to this Option.

10.         COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Employer shall make reasonable efforts to
      comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws;
      provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
      the Option shall not be exercisable if the exercise thereof would result
      in a violation of any such law.

11.         ADJUSTMENTS. The Committee may make or provide for such adjustments
      in the number of Optioned Shares covered by this Option, in the Option
      Price applicable to such Option, and in the kind of shares covered
      thereby, as the Committee may determine is equitably required to prevent
      dilution or enlargement of the Optionee's rights that otherwise would
      result from (a) any combination of shares, recapitalization, or other
      change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger,
      consolidation, spin- off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization,
      partial or complete liquidation, or other distribution of assets or
      issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other
      corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the
      foregoing; provided however, that no such adjustment in the number of
      Optioned Shares will be made unless such adjustment would change by more
      than 5% the number of Optioned Shares issuable upon exercise of this
      Option. Similar adjustments shall be made automatically in the event of a
      stock dividend or stock split, on a purely mathematical basis. Any
      adjustment which by reason of this Section 11 is not required to be made
      currently will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
      adjustment. In the event of any such transaction or event, the Committee
      may provide in substitution for this Option such alternative consideration
      as it may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require
      in connection therewith the surrender of this Option.

12.         AVAILABILITY OF COMMON SHARES. The Company shall at all times until
      the expiration of the Option reserve and keep available, either in its
      treasury or out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares, the full
      number of Optioned Shares deliverable upon the exercise of this Option.

13.         RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. Any economic or other benefit to the
      Optionee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in
      determining any benefits to which the Optionee may be entitled under any
      profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan
      maintained by the Employer and shall not affect the amount of any life
      insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance
      plan covering employees of the Company.

14.         AMENDMENTS. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an
      amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable
      hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the
      rights of the Optionee under this Agreement without the Optionee's
      consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be amended in
      such particulars as are necessary or appropriate to reflect the applicable
      provisions of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
      amended, in order to avoid current taxation of the grant made pursuant
      hereto, and to avoid any penalty taxes imposed on noncomplying
      arrangements.

15.         SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
      this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
      jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable
      from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof
      shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

                                        5

16.         RELATION TO PLAN. This Agreement is subject to the terms and
      conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistent provisions
      between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. Capitalized
      terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to
      them in the Plan. The Committee acting pursuant to the Plan, as
      constituted from time to time, shall, except as expressly provided
      otherwise herein, have the right to determine any questions which arise in
      connection with this option or its exercise.

17.         SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. In the event
      that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the Date of Grant,
      i.e., the Option Price) of shares with respect to which incentive stock
      options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any
      calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Employer) exceeds
      $100,000, such options representing such excess shall be treated as
      options which are not incentive stock options, in accordance with the
      rules of Section 422(d) of the Code. To the extent that the Optionee
      disposes of a share received pursuant to the exercise of this Option
      within two (2) years from the Date of Grant or one (1) year from the date
      of exercise, it may not be treated as an incentive stock option.
      Furthermore, in the event that, pursuant to the provisions of Section 6,
      above, an Optionee is permitted to exercise, and does exercise, an Option
      at a date later than three (3) months following termination of employment
      (or one (1) year in the event of disability), said Option may not be
      treated as an incentive stock option.

18.         SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Without limiting Section 4 hereof, the
      provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
      upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and
      assigns of the Optionee, and the successors and assigns of the Employer.

19.         GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of
      this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia,
      without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

20.         NOTICES. Any notice to the Company provided for herein shall be in
      writing to the Company, marked Attention: Stock Option Administrator,
      ChoicePoint Inc., Mail Drop 71-B, 1000 Alderman Drive, Alpharetta, Georgia
      30005, and any notice to the Optionee shall be addressed to said Optionee
      at his or her address currently on file with the Company. Except as
      otherwise provided herein, any written notice shall be deemed to be duly
      given if and when delivered personally or deposited in the United States
      mail, first class registered mail, postage and fees prepaid, and addressed
      as aforesaid. Any party may change the address to which notices are to be
      given hereunder by written notice to the other party as herein specified
      (provided that for this purpose any mailed notice shall be deemed given on
      the third business day following deposit of the same in the United States
      mail).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed on its
behalf and that of any Employer by which the Optionee is employed by its duly
authorized officer and Optionee has also executed this Agreement in duplicate,
as of the day and year first above written.

                                CHOICEPOINT INC.
                           RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
                           FOR EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS

      This AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of _____ (the "Date of Grant")
by and between CHOICEPOINT INC., a Georgia corporation (the "Company"), and
_________________________ (the "Grantee").

1.          GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Subject to and upon the terms,
      conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the
      Company's 2003 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company hereby
      grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant __________ shares of
      Restricted Stock. The Restricted Stock shall be fully paid and
      nonassessable and shall be represented by a certificate registered in the
      name of the Grantee and bearing a legend referring to the restrictions
      hereinafter set forth.

2.          RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The shares of
      Restricted Stock:

      (a)          may not be sold, pledged, exchanged, or otherwise encumbered
            or disposed of by the Grantee, except to the Company, and

      (b)          may not be assigned or transferred except (A) to the Company,
            or a Family Member of the Grantee, or entities controlled by or
            benefiting them, as described in Section 12 of the Plan, and then
            (B) (i) if during the Grantee's life, only upon the approval of the
            Company's Chief Financial Officer and/or its Vice President with
            responsibility for compensation and benefits, or (ii) by execution
            and delivery of a Beneficiary Designation Form provided by the
            Company or, if none, by will or by the laws of descent and
            distribution, until they have become nonforfeitable in accordance
            with Section 3.

Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Restricted Stock
that is in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void, and the other
party to any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or
interest in the Restricted Stock.

3.          VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

      (a)          The Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereby shall become
            nonforfeitable on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant,
            subject to the Grantee's continuous service as an employee of the
            Company.

      (b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of subsection (a) of
            this Section 3, all of the shares of Restricted Stock shall
            immediately become nonforfeitable in the event of (i) a Change in
            Control (as defined in the Plan); (ii) the Grantee's death; or (iii)
            the Grantee's termination of service under conditions specifically
            approved by the Board for this purpose.

4.          FORFEITURE OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Subject to Section 3(b), and except
      as the Committee may determine on a case-by-case basis, any shares of
      Restricted Stock that have not theretofore become nonforfeitable shall be
      forfeited if the Grantee ceases to serve continuously as an Employee,
      Officer or Director of the Company at any time prior to the applicable
      vesting date. In the event of forfeiture, the certificate(s) representing
      the shares of Restricted Stock shall be canceled. In the event of a
      termination for Cause, all shares of Restricted Stock on which the

<PAGE>

      restrictions described in Section 2 have not lapsed shall be forfeited.
      For this purpose, "Cause" shall mean that the Grantee has committed prior
      to termination of employment any of the following acts:

      (a)          an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any
            other material violation of law (A) in connection with the Grantee's
            duties or in the course of the Grantee's service on behalf of the
            Company, or (B) which is otherwise materially injurious to the
            Company, monetarily or otherwise;

      (b)          intentional wrongful damage to material assets of the
            Company;

      (c)          intentional wrongful disclosure of material confidential
            information of the Company;

      (d)          intentional wrongful engagement in any competitive activity
            that would constitute a material breach of the duty of loyalty; or

      (e)          intentional breach of any stated material employment policy
            of the Company.

5.          DIVIDEND, VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided
      herein, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with
      respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to vote
      such shares and receive any dividends that may be paid thereon; provided,
      however, that any additional Common Shares or other securities that the
      Grantee may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, stock
      split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
      separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital structure
      of the Company shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of
      Restricted Stock.

6.          RETENTION OF STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) BY THE COMPANY. The certificate(s)
      representing the Restricted Stock shall be held in custody by the
      Secretary or Treasurer of the Company, together with a stock power
      endorsed in blank by the Grantee with respect thereto, until those shares
      have become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3.

7.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Company shall be required to withhold
      any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the issuance
      or vesting of any restricted or nonrestricted Common Shares or other
      securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Grantee shall pay the tax or
      make provisions that are satisfactory to the Company for the payment
      thereof. The Grantee may elect to satisfy all or any part of the minimum
      statutory withholding requirement by surrendering to the Company a portion
      of the nonforfeitable Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the
      Grantee hereunder, and the Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee
      shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the Market
      Value per Share of such shares on the date of such surrender.

8.          COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to
      comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided,
      however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
      Company shall not be obligated to issue any restricted or nonrestricted
      Common Shares or other securities pursuant to this Agreement if the
      issuance thereof would result in a violation of any such law.

9.          RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. Any economic or other benefit to the
      Grantee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in
      determining any benefits to which the Grantee may

                                        2
<PAGE>

      be entitled under any compensation plan maintained by the Company and
      shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to
      any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering Employees, Officers
      or Directors of the Company.

10.         AMENDMENTS. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an
      amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable
      hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the
      rights of the Grantee under this Agreement without the Grantee's consent.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be amended in such
      particulars as are necessary or appropriate to reflect the applicable
      provisions of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
      amended, in order to avoid current taxation of the grant made pursuant
      hereto, and to avoid any penalty taxes imposed on noncomplying
      arrangements.

11.         SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
      this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
      jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable

                                CHOICEPOINT INC.
                           RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
                           FOR EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS

      This AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of ________________ the "Date
of Grant") by and between CHOICEPOINT INC., a Georgia corporation (the
"Company"), and __________________ (the "Grantee").

1.          GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Subject to and upon the terms,
      conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the
      Company's 2003 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the Company hereby
      grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant _______ shares of Restricted
      Stock. The Restricted Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable and
      shall be represented by a certificate registered in the name of the
      Grantee and bearing a legend referring to the restrictions hereinafter set
      forth.

2.          RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The shares of
      Restricted Stock:

      (a)          may not be sold, pledged, exchanged, or otherwise encumbered
            or disposed of by the Grantee, except to the Company, and

      (b)          may not be assigned or transferred except (A) to the Company,
            or a Family Member of the Grantee, or entities controlled by or
            benefiting them, as described in Section 12 of the Plan, and then
            (B) (i) if during the Grantee's life, only upon the approval of the
            Company's Chief Financial Officer and/or its Vice President with
            responsibility for compensation and benefits, or (ii) by execution
            and delivery of a Beneficiary Designation Form provided by the
            Company or, if none, by will or by the laws of descent and
            distribution, until they have become nonforfeitable in accordance
            with Section 3.

Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Restricted Stock
that is in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void, and the other
party to any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or
interest in the Restricted Stock.

3.          VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

      (a)          The Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereby shall become
            nonforfeitable on the ______ [NOT LESS THAN THREE YEARS] anniversary
            of the Date of Grant, subject to the Grantee's continuous service as
            an employee of the Company.

      (b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of subsection (a) of
            this Section 3, all of the shares of Restricted Stock shall
            immediately become nonforfeitable in the event of (i) a Change in
            Control (as defined in the Plan); (ii) the Grantee's death; or (iii)
            the Grantee's termination of service under conditions specifically
            approved by the Board for this purpose.

      (c)          In the event that the Grantee's service terminates on or
            subsequent to __________________ [DATE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
            TERMINATES], but under circumstances (i) which would not result in
            full vesting pursuant to subparagraphs (a) or (b) above, and (ii)
            other than for Cause,

<PAGE>

            Grantee shall nonetheless have a nonforfeitable right to the same
            percentage of the shares referred to in Section 1 (as adjusted, if
            appropriate) as the number of calendar months of his employment
            during the period from the Date of Grant through the date of his
            termination represents when divided by ___________ [NUMBER OF TOTAL
            MONTHS IN THE CLIFF VESTING PERIOD IN 3(a).] For these purposes, if
            Grantee provides services for a portion but not all of a calendar
            month, he shall nonetheless be credited with a full calendar month
            of employment. In the event that said calculation results in an
            award of a fractional share, the number shall be increased to the
            next full share.

4.          FORFEITURE OF RESTRICTED STOCK. (a) Subject to Section 3(b), and
      except as the Committee may determine on a case-by-case basis, any shares
      of Restricted Stock that have not theretofore become nonforfeitable shall
      be forfeited if the Grantee ceases to serve continuously as an Employee,
      Officer or Director of the Company at any time prior to the applicable
      vesting date referred to in Section 3(a) above; similarly, if the Grantee
      receives a portion of the Award pursuant to Section 3(c) above, the
      portion to which he is not entitled shall be forfeited.

      (a)          In the event of a termination for Cause, all shares of
            Restricted Stock on which the restrictions described in Section 2
            have not lapsed shall be forfeited. For this purpose, "Cause" shall
            mean that the Grantee has committed prior to termination of
            employment any of the following acts:

            (i)    an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement, theft, or any
                   other material violation of law (A) in connection with the
                   Grantee's duties or in the course of the Grantee's service on
                   behalf of the Company, or (B) which is otherwise materially
                   injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise;

            (ii)   intentional wrongful damage to material assets of the
                   Company;

            (iii)  intentional wrongful disclosure of material confidential
                   information of the Company;

            (iv)   intentional wrongful engagement in any competitive activity
                   that would constitute a material breach of the duty of
                   loyalty; or

            (v)    intentional breach of any stated material employment policy
                   of the Company.

        (c) In the event of forfeiture, the certificate(s) representing the
            shares of Restricted Stock shall be canceled.

5.          DIVIDEND, VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided
      herein, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with
      respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to vote
      such shares and receive any dividends that may be paid thereon; provided,
      however, that any additional Common Shares or other securities that the
      Grantee may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, stock
      split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
      separation or

                                        2
<PAGE>

      reorganization or any other change in the capital structure of the Company
      shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Restricted
      Stock.

6.          RETENTION OF STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) BY THE COMPANY. The certificate(s)
      representing the Restricted Stock shall be held in custody by the
      Secretary or Treasurer of the Company, together with a stock power
      endorsed in blank by the Grantee with respect thereto, until those shares
      have become nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3.

7.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Company shall be required to withhold
      any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the issuance
      or vesting of any restricted or nonrestricted Common Shares or other
      securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Grantee shall pay the tax or
      make provisions that are satisfactory to the Company for the payment
      thereof. The Grantee may elect to satisfy all or any part of the minimum
      statutory withholding requirement by surrendering to the Company a portion
      of the nonforfeitable Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the
      Grantee hereunder, and the Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee
      shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the Market
      Value per Share of such shares on the date of such surrender.

8.          COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to
      comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided,
      however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
      Company shall not be obligated to issue any restricted or nonrestricted
      Common Shares or other securities pursuant to this Agreement if the
      issuance thereof would result in a violation of any such law.

9.          RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. Any economic or other benefit to the
      Grantee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in
      determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any
      compensation plan maintained by the Company and shall not affect the
      amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under
      any life insurance plan covering Employees, Officers or Directors of the
      Company.

10.         AMENDMENTS. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an
      amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable
      hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall adversely affect the
      rights of the Grantee under this Agreement without the Grantee's consent.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be amended in such
      particulars as are necessary or appropriate to reflect the applicable
      provisions of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
      amended, in order to avoid current taxation of the grant made pursuant
      hereto, and to avoid any penalty taxes imposed on noncomplying
      arrangements.

11.         SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the provisions of
      this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent
      jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable
      from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof
      shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

12.         RELATION TO PLAN. This Agreement is subject to the terms and
      conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistent provisions
      between this Agreement and the Plan,

                                        3

      the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms used herein without definition
      shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

13.         GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of
      this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed
on its behalf by its duly authorized officer and Grantee has also executed this
Agreement in duplicate, as of the day and year first above written.
