ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides for the power to
indemnify  any  directors,  officers,  employees  and agents and to purchase and
maintain  insurance  with respect to liability  arising out of their capacity or
status  as  directors,  officers,  employees  and  agents.  The  indemnification
provisions are not exclusive of any other rights to which directors and officers
may be entitled under a corporation's  certificate of  incorporation  or bylaws,
any agreement, a vote of stockholders or otherwise.

     First Advantage's  certificate of incorporation provides that its directors
will not be personally liable to First Advantage or its stockholders for damages
for breach of any duty owed to First  Advantage or its  stockholders  except for
liability:

     o    for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to First Advantage or
          its stockholders;

     o    for  any  acts  or  omissions  not in  good  faith  or  which  involve
          intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

     o    under section 174 of the DGCL regarding  negligent or willful unlawful
          payment of dividends and stock redemption; or

     o    for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal
          benefit.

     The Bylaws of First Advantage provide that:

     o    subject to applicable law and certain qualifications,  each person who
          was or is made a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party to or is
          otherwise involved in any action,  suit or proceeding,  whether civil,
          criminal,    administrative    or    investigative    (hereinafter   a
          "proceeding"),  by  reason  of  the  fact  that  he or she is or was a
          director  or officer of First  Advantage  or is or was  serving at the
          request  of First  Advantage  as a  director  or  officer  of  another
          corporation  or  of a  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust  or  other
          enterprise,  including  service with respect to employee benefit plans
          (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is
          alleged action in an official  capacity as a director or officer or in
          any other  capacity  while serving as a director or officer,  shall be
          indemnified and held harmless by First Advantage to the fullest extent
          permitted by the DGCL (but, in the case of any future amendment to the
          DGCL,  only to the extent that such amendment  permits First Advantage
          to  provide  broader   indemnification  rights  than  permitted  prior
          thereto),   against  all  expense,   liability  and  loss   (including
          attorneys'  fees,  judgments,  fines,  excise taxes or  penalties  and
          amounts  paid or to be  paid in  settlement)  reasonably  incurred  or
          suffered  by  such  indemnitee  in  connection  therewith,   and  such
          indemnification  shall  continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to
          be a  director  or  officer,  and shall  inure to the  benefit  of the
          indemnitee's  heirs,  executors  and  administrators.   The  right  to
          indemnification  described in this  paragraph is a contract right and,
          to the extent not prohibited by applicable law,  includes the right to
          be paid by First Advantage the expenses incurred in defending any such
          proceeding  in  advance  of  its  final  disposition  (hereinafter  an
          "advancement of expenses");  provided,  however,  that, if the DGCL so
          requires,  an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his
          or her  capacity  as a  director  or  officer  shall be made only upon
          delivery to First Advantage of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such
          indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
          determined by final  judicial  decision from which there is no further
          right to

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

               appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for
               such expenses.

          o    First Advantage is permitted to secure insurance on behalf of any
               director,  officer,  employee  or  agent of  First  Advantage  or
               another  business  entity  for any  expense,  liability  or loss,
               regardless of whether the DGCL would permit indemnification.

     Pursuant to the  Agreement  and Plan of Merger,  dated  December  13, 2002,
among First  Advantage,  US SEARCH.com  Inc. ("US SEARCH") and the other parties
thereto,  First  Advantage  has agreed to indemnify  and hold  harmless the then
present and former  officers,  directors,  employees and agents of US SEARCH and
its subsidiaries (each, an "Indemnified  Party") in respect of acts or omissions
occurring on or prior to the effective time of the mergers  contemplated thereby
to the extent provided under US SEARCH's and its  subsidiaries'  certificates of
incorporation  (or  equivalent  organizational  documents)  and  bylaws  or  any
indemnification  agreement with US SEARCH's and its  subsidiaries'  officers and
directors to which US SEARCH and/or its subsidiaries is a party, in each case in
effect on the date of the merger agreement;  provided that such  indemnification
shall be subject to any  limitation  imposed from time to time under  applicable
law. First Advantage also agreed under the merger agreement that for a period of
six years after the effective time of the mergers,  First Advantage will use its
reasonable best efforts to procure officers' and directors'  liability insurance
in respect of acts or omissions  occurring on or prior to the effective  time of
the mergers  covering each  Indemnified  Party currently  covered by US SEARCH's
and/or its subsidiaries'  officers' and directors' liability insurance policy on
terms substantially similar to those of such policy in effect on the date of the
merger agreement (the "D&O Insurance"),  provided that First Advantage shall not
be required to maintain the D&O Insurance with respect to a specific  officer or
director if the premium for  obtaining  the D&O  Insurance  exceeds  200% of the
amount per annum US SEARCH paid in fiscal year 2002 (the  "Premium  Limit").  If
First  Advantage is unable to obtain the D&O  Insurance,  it will obtain as much
comparable  insurance  as possible  for an annual  premium  equal to the Premium
Limit.  In the event First Advantage would be required to spend in excess of the
Premium Limit per year to obtain the D&O Insurance,  First Advantage will notify
each  Indemnified  Party  who  would be  covered  thereby  and  permit  any such
Indemnified  Party to pay the excess  amount over the Premium  Limit that may be
necessary to maintain such D&O Insurance covering such Indemnified Party.

     Present and future directors and officers of First Advantage are covered by
a policy of  liability  insurance  obtained by The First  American  Corporation,
First  Advantage's  parent  company,  which insures against the cost of defense,
settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file,  during the period in which  offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (i) to include  any  prospectus  required  by Section  10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act;

          (ii) to reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events  arising after
     the  effective  date of the  Registration  Statement  (or the  most  recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which,  individually or in the aggregate,
     represent  a  fundamental  change  in  the  information  set  forth  in the
     Registration Statement; and

          (iii) to include any additional or changed material information on the
     plan of distribution;

     provided,  however,  that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
     information required to be included in a post-effective  amendment by those
     paragraphs is contained in periodic  reports filed with or furnished to the
     SEC by First  American  pursuant  to Section 13 or 15(d) of the  Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
     Statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of such
securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the  initial  bona fide  offering
thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     (4) That,  for purposes of determining  any liability  under the Securities
Act, each filing of the registrant's  annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 that is  incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein,  and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of
the  registrant  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,   or  otherwise,  the
registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission  such  indemnification  is

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

against  public  policy as expressed in the  Securities  Act and is,  therefore,
unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for  indemnification  against  such
liabilities  (other than the payment by the  registrant of expenses  incurred or
paid by a  director,  officer or  controlling  person of the  registrant  in the
successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against public
policy as  expressed  in the  Securities  Act and will be  governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides for the power to
indemnify  any  directors,  officers,  employees  and agents and to purchase and
maintain  insurance  with respect to liability  arising out of their capacity or
status  as  directors,  officers,  employees  and  agents.  The  indemnification
provisions are not exclusive of any other rights to which directors and officers
may be entitled under a corporation's  certificate of  incorporation  or bylaws,
any agreement, a vote of stockholders or otherwise.

     First Advantage's  certificate of incorporation provides that its directors
will not be personally liable to First Advantage or its stockholders for damages
for breach of any duty owed to First  Advantage or its  stockholders  except for
liability:

     o    for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to First Advantage or
          its stockholders;

     o    for  any  acts  or  omissions  not in  good  faith  or  which  involve
          intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

     o    under section 174 of the DGCL regarding  negligent or willful unlawful
          payment of dividends and stock redemption; or

     o    for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal
          benefit.

     The Bylaws of First Advantage provide that:

     o    subject to applicable law and certain qualifications,  each person who
          was or is made a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party to or is
          otherwise involved in any action,  suit or proceeding,  whether civil,
          criminal,    administrative    or    investigative    (hereinafter   a
          "proceeding"),  by  reason  of  the  fact  that  he or she is or was a
          director  or officer of First  Advantage  or is or was  serving at the
          request  of First  Advantage  as a  director  or  officer  of  another
          corporation  or  of a  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust  or  other
          enterprise,  including  service with respect to employee benefit plans
          (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is
          alleged action in an official  capacity as a director or officer or in
          any other  capacity  while serving as a director or officer,  shall be
          indemnified and held harmless by First Advantage to the fullest extent
          permitted by the DGCL (but, in the case of any future amendment to the
          DGCL,  only to the extent that such amendment  permits First Advantage
          to  provide  broader   indemnification  rights  than  permitted  prior
          thereto),   against  all  expense,   liability  and  loss   (including
          attorneys'  fees,  judgments,  fines,  excise taxes or  penalties  and
          amounts  paid or to be  paid in  settlement)  reasonably  incurred  or
          suffered  by  such  indemnitee  in  connection  therewith,   and  such
          indemnification  shall  continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to
          be a  director  or  officer,  and shall  inure to the  benefit  of the
          indemnitee's  heirs,  executors  and  administrators.   The  right  to
          indemnification  described in this  paragraph is a contract right and,
          to the extent not prohibited by applicable law,  includes the right to
          be paid by First Advantage the expenses incurred in defending any such
          proceeding  in  advance  of  its  final  disposition  (hereinafter  an
          "advancement of expenses");  provided,  however,  that, if the DGCL so
          requires,  an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his
          or her  capacity  as a  director  or  officer  shall be made only upon
          delivery to First Advantage of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such
          indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
          determined by final  judicial  decision from which there is no further
          right to

                                      -2-
appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for
               such expenses.

          o    First Advantage is permitted to secure insurance on behalf of any
               director,  officer,  employee  or  agent of  First  Advantage  or
               another  business  entity  for any  expense,  liability  or loss,
               regardless of whether the DGCL would permit indemnification.

     Pursuant to the  Agreement  and Plan of Merger,  dated  December  13, 2002,
among First  Advantage,  US SEARCH.com  Inc. ("US SEARCH") and the other parties
thereto,  First  Advantage  has agreed to indemnify  and hold  harmless the then
present and former  officers,  directors,  employees and agents of US SEARCH and
its subsidiaries (each, an "Indemnified  Party") in respect of acts or omissions
occurring on or prior to the effective time of the mergers  contemplated thereby
to the extent provided under US SEARCH's and its  subsidiaries'  certificates of
incorporation  (or  equivalent  organizational  documents)  and  bylaws  or  any
indemnification  agreement with US SEARCH's and its  subsidiaries'  officers and
directors to which US SEARCH and/or its subsidiaries is a party, in each case in
effect on the date of the merger agreement;  provided that such  indemnification
shall be subject to any  limitation  imposed from time to time under  applicable
law. First Advantage also agreed under the merger agreement that for a period of
six years after the effective time of the mergers,  First Advantage will use its
reasonable best efforts to procure officers' and directors'  liability insurance
in respect of acts or omissions  occurring on or prior to the effective  time of
the mergers  covering each  Indemnified  Party currently  covered by US SEARCH's
and/or its subsidiaries'  officers' and directors' liability insurance policy on
terms substantially similar to those of such policy in effect on the date of the
merger agreement (the "D&O Insurance"),  provided that First Advantage shall not
be required to maintain the D&O Insurance with respect to a specific  officer or
director if the premium for  obtaining  the D&O  Insurance  exceeds  200% of the
amount per annum US SEARCH paid in fiscal year 2002 (the  "Premium  Limit").  If
First  Advantage is unable to obtain the D&O  Insurance,  it will obtain as much
comparable  insurance  as possible  for an annual  premium  equal to the Premium
Limit.  In the event First Advantage would be required to spend in excess of the
Premium Limit per year to obtain the D&O Insurance,  First Advantage will notify
each  Indemnified  Party  who  would be  covered  thereby  and  permit  any such
Indemnified  Party to pay the excess  amount over the Premium  Limit that may be
necessary to maintain such D&O Insurance covering such Indemnified Party.

     Present and future directors and officers of First Advantage are covered by
a policy of  liability  insurance  obtained by The First  American  Corporation,
First  Advantage's  parent  company,  which insures against the cost of defense,
settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     (4) That,  for purposes of determining  any liability  under the Securities
Act, each filing of the registrant's  annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 that is  incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein,  and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of
the  registrant  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,   or  otherwise,  the
registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission  such  indemnification  is

                                      -4-
against  public  policy as expressed in the  Securities  Act and is,  therefore,
unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for  indemnification  against  such
liabilities  (other than the payment by the  registrant of expenses  incurred or
paid by a  director,  officer or  controlling  person of the  registrant  in the
successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against public
policy as  expressed  in the  Securities  Act and will be  governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                                      -5-
