4. EXCLUSIVITY

During the Employment Term, Employee shall devote her full business and professional time, energy and ability to the business and interests of Employer and Employer’s subsidiaries and affiliates (each a “Related Company” and collectively, the “Related Companies”), and the performance of this Agreement, and shall not, without Employer’s prior written consent, render to others services of any kind for compensation, or engage in any other business activity that would interfere with the performance of his/her duties under this Agreement, or permit any of her personal business or investment affairs to interfere with the performance of his/her duties hereunder. Employee shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and proper assistance to the Related Companies as may reasonably be required by Employer in connection with any legal action involving any Related Company. Employee agrees to use her best efforts, skills and abilities to promote and protect the interest of the Related Companies and faithfully and to the best of her ability perform his/her duties hereunder.

Employee’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section during the Employment Term shall give Employer the right (in addition to all other remedies Employer may have) to terminate any benefits or compensation to which Employee may be otherwise entitled following termination of this Agreement. If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section, a court shall hold that the covenants contained in this Section are

unenforceable under the circumstances then existing, it is agreed that such covenants shall be enforced to the maximum extent reasonable under the law under such circumstances.

5. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Term, Employer shall pay Employee a base salary in the annual amount of Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($240,000.00) (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be payable as current salary with such frequency as is standard for similarly situated employees of the Related Companies. The Base Salary shall be prorated for any partial pay period that occurs during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the Related Companies’ standard payroll policies applied to similarly situated employees of the Related Companies. All payments due to Employee hereunder shall be made subject to such withholdings and deductions as are required to be made under applicable law. The Employer shall review the Base Salary at least annually during the Employment Term to determine whether the Base Salary should be increased and, if so, the amount of such increase and the time at which the increase should take effect. If the Base Salary is increased, the Base Salary shall be increased for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Bonus. During the Employment Term, Employer shall pay to Employee an incentive bonus (the “Bonus”) in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 5(b). On or before the last day of February following the end of each fiscal year of the Employer occurring, in whole or in part, during the Employment Term, Employer shall pay to Employee an amount equal to the greater of: (I) One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000) (“Bonus Guarantee”) or (II) the product of (A) Operating Earnings for such fiscal year, and (B) Five Percent (5%) of the first Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) of Operating Earnings and Four Percent (4%) thereafter. However, in the event that the WOTC/WtW legislation is not enacted by Congress by February 28^th, 2005, the Bonus Guarantee shall be One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) with all other terms of the Bonus and its calculation remaining the same. For purposes of this Section, “Operating Earnings” means, for any period of determination, the operating earnings of the Employer, before taxes, for such period, determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently and further applied in accordance with the guidance of the staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. For fiscal year 2004 only, which will be a partial year of operations, the Operating Earnings shall be increased by a factor of 1.5 so as to annualize such earnings for purposes of the Bonus calculation.

(c) Employee acknowledges that one or more Related Companies may offer products and services that compete with Employer’s products and services and Employee agrees that he/she will have no claim under Section 5(b) resulting from any adverse effect that any such competition may have on Employer’s Net Income. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties agree that Employer shall not reorganize in such a way so as to transfer any profitable activity of Employer outside of Employer without providing for an amendment to this Section 5, which provides Employee with substantially the same bonus they would have had but for such transfer. Employee also understands and agrees that one or more Related Companies may provide administrative services, such as accounting, human resources and legal support, and the costs of such services will be allocated to Employer in a manner consistent with the standard practices of Parent and The First American Corporation (Parent’s parent company) and its

subsidiaries provided, however, (I) in no event shall such allocated human resources costs exceed $75.00 per employee of Employer per month; and (II) no other administrative services costs shall be allocated to Employer for purposes of determining Operating Earnings, except those non-human resources administrative services costs to which Parent (or Related Company) supplies Employer and which Employer has reasonably determined Parent (or Related Company) can supply in a more cost-effective manner than Employer’s providing such service functions directly. No other indirect costs shall be allocated by Parent (or Related Company) to Employer for purposes of determining Operating Earnings.

(d) Benefits. During the Employment Term, Employee shall be entitled to receive all benefits of employment generally available to other similar employees of the Related Companies when and as he/she becomes eligible for them, including without limitation medical, dental, life and disability insurance benefits, and pension, retirement and savings plan benefits. Employer reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any and all of the above benefit plans, policies, and practices at any time without notice to or recourse by Employee, so long as such action is taken generally with respect to other similarly situated employees of Employer and does not single out Employee.

(e) Expenses. During the Employment Term, Employee shall be entitled to receive prompt payment or reimbursement for all reasonable employment-related expenses, including without limitation, travel and entertainment expenses, incurred by Employee in performing his/her employment duties.

(f) Automobile Allowance. During the Employment Term, Employer shall pay Employee an automobile allowance of Eight Hundred Dollars ($800.00) per month.

(g) Stock Options. The issuance of twenty-Five Thousand (25,000) of Parent stock options, granted in accordance with The First Advantage Corporation 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The strike price, vesting period and all other terms concerning the options shall be in accordance with the Plan.

6. OWNERSHIP OF INTANGIBLE PROPERTY

All processes, inventions, patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intangible rights that may be conceived or developed by Employee, either alone or with others, during the Employment Term, whether or not conceived or developed during Employee’s working hours, and with respect to which the equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of any Related Company was used, or that relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the business of any Related Company or to any Related Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development, or that result from any work performed by Employee for any Related Company, shall be work-for-hire and the sole property of Employer. Employee shall disclose to Employer all inventions conceived during the Employment Term, whether or not the property of any Related Company under the terms of the preceding sentence, provided that such disclosure shall be received by Employer in confidence. Employee shall execute all documents, including patent applications and assignments, required by Employer to establish Employer’s rights under this Section.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

Employer and the Related Companies shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law and their organizational documents, indemnify and hold Employee harmless for any acts or decisions made in good faith while performing services for Employer and/or any of the Related Companies. To the same extent, Employer and the Related Companies will pay, and subject to any legal limitations, advance all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court-approved settlements, and judgments or other liabilities, actually and necessarily incurred by Employee in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding and in connection with any appeal, which has been brought against Employee by reason of his/her good faith service as an employee and/or officer of Employer and/or any of the Related Companies.

For the purposes of this clause (a), ownership of securities of 1% or less of any class of securities of a public company shall not alone be considered to be competition with the Employer or the Related Companies

(b) Non-Solicitation. Employee will not, while employed by the Employer, and for two (2) years following termination of such employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicit or accept any business which is competitive with respect to the services provided by the Employer or the Related Companies from any person, firm, corporation, or other entity which is a customer of the Employer or the Related Companies at any time within the period of six (6) months preceding Employee’s termination of employment; provided, however, with respect to any Related Companies’ customers, this restriction will apply only if Employee had business contact with such Related Companies’ customer on behalf of Employer or the Related Company within the period of six (6) months immediately preceding Employee’s termination of employment.

(c) No-Raid. Employee will not, while employed by the Employer and for one (1) year following termination of such employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, employ, solicit for employment or otherwise contract for the services of any employee of the Employer or the Related Companies at the time of this Agreement, or who shall subsequently become an employee of the Employer or the Related Companies.

Employee will not, while employed by the Employer and for one (1) year following termination of such employment, in any way interfere with the relationship of the Employer or any of the Related Companies with any vendor, supplier or other professional or business relation of the Employer or the Related Companies.

(d) Enforceability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If at the time of enforcement of any of the agreements contained in this Section 11, a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area or restrictions stated therein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, it is agreed that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under the law and such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area.

12. COVENANT OF DUTY OF LOYALTY

Employee agrees that during the time that Employee is working for the Employer, Employee will owe the Employer a duty of loyalty, and that as part of this duty of loyalty, Employee shall not engage in any form of business activity representing competition with the

Employer or the Related Companies. Similarly, Employee, while employed by the Employer, shall notify the Employer of business opportunities and shall not appropriate for Employee’s own use any business opportunity of the Employer, or otherwise engage in conduct amounting to a conflict of interest or competition with the Employer or the Related Companies.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If Employee and Employer are unable to agree upon the Arbitrator, Employer will obtain a list of five arbitrators from the American Arbitration Association. Employee (first) and then Employer will alternately strike names from the list until only one name remains; the remaining person shall be the Arbitrator. Alternatively, the parties may mutually agree upon an Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall be bound by the qualifications and disclosure provisions and the procedures set forth in the then-current American Arbitration Association’s National rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes and its Due Process Protocol Model Employment Arbitration Procedures of the American Arbitration Association and shall order such discovery as is appropriate to the nature of the claim and necessary to the adjudication thereof.

Arbitration proceedings shall be held in Indianapolis, Indiana or any other mutually agreed location. The Arbitrator shall determine the prevailing party in the arbitration. The Arbitrator shall be permitted to award only those remedies in law or equity that are requested by the parties, appropriate for the claims and supported by credible, relevant evidence. There shall be no right to appeal the decision of the arbitrator. The parties shall bear equally the costs of the arbitration, and each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and other costs. EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYER AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING ARBITRATION PROCEDURE SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE MEANS OF RESOLVING ANY ARBITRABLE DISPUTE AND THAT NO OTHER ACTION WILL BE BROUGHT BY EMPLOYEE IN ANY COURT OR OTHER FORUM. THIS AGREEMENT IS A WAIVER OF ALL RIGHTS TO A CIVIL COURT ACTION AND APPEAL FOR AN ARBITRABLE DISPUTE; ONLY THE ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, WILL DECIDE SUCH DISPUTE.

14. BREACH BY EMPLOYEE

Employee is obligated under this Agreement to render services of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual character, which give this Agreement peculiar value. The loss of these services cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law. Accordingly, in addition to other remedies provided by law or this Agreement, Employer shall have the right during the Employment Term and the period of non-competition herein to obtain injunctive relief against any breach of this Agreement by Employee or the performance of services by Employee in violation of this Agreement, or both.
