EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      THIS EMPLOYMENT  AGREEMENT ("this  Agreement") is made effective as of the
1st day of April,  2005 (the  "Effective  Date") by and between Signia  Partners
Incorporated, a District of Columbia corporation with offices at 1655 North Fort
Myer Drive, Suite 800,  Arlington,  VA 22209 (the "Company") and a subsidiary of
FIND/SVP,  INC., a New York corporation ("FIND"),  and CHARLES DOUGLAS HOUSE, an
individual  residing  at 6621  North  24th  Street,  Arlington,  VA  22205  (the
"Executive").

      PREMISES:  The Executive  has served the Company in an executive  capacity
for a  substantial  period of time  prior to the  Effective  Date.  The  Company
desires to  continue  to employ the  Executive,  and in the  capacity  described
herein,  and the Executive desires to continue to be so employed by the Company.
The  Company  and the  Executive  also  desire  to set  forth in  writing  their
understanding of the terms and conditions governing such employment.  Unless the
context  indicates  otherwise,  capitalized  terms used  herein but not  defined
herein  shall  have the  meanings  given to such  terms  in the  Stock  Purchase
Agreement,  dated as of March 14, 2005, by and among FIND and the Executive (the
"Purchase Agreement").

      NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the foregoing and of the following
mutual  promises,  the Company and the Executive,  each intending  legally to be
bound, agree as follows:

      Section  1.  Contract  of  Employment.  Subject to the terms  hereof,  the
Company employs the Executive and the Executive  accepts his employment with the
Company for the Employment  Period (as defined in Section 2 hereof).  During the
Employment Period, the Executive shall serve in and shall occupy the position of
Chief  Executive  Officer of the Company.  In that capacity the Executive  shall
have  responsibility  for those  duties  that are  customary  to such office and
perform,  for and on behalf of the Company, all of the duties of Chief Executive
Officer as shall  reasonably  be  determined  by the Board of  Directors  of the
Company  and the Chief  Executive  Officer  ("CEO") or Chief  Operating  Officer
("COO") of FIND from time to time. In addition,  Executive  shall, to the extent
appropriate,  make reasonable efforts to maintain ongoing relationships with the
Company's key existing and prospective clients. Without limitation of any of the
foregoing,   Executive   also  shall   assume  and  carry  out  such  duties  or
responsibilities  as from  time to time  may be  assigned  or  delegated  to the
Executive  by the Board of  Directors of the Company and the CEO or COO of FIND,
provided  that  such  additional  duties  and   responsibilities  are  fair  and
reasonable under the  circumstances,  do not  unreasonably  increase the demands
upon  the  Executive's  time or  energies,  and are not  inconsistent  with  the
Executive's   position  as  Chief   Executive   Officer.   In   fulfilling   the
responsibilities  of  his  position,  the  Executive  will  observe  all  lawful
policies,  procedures and  directions  that from time to time may be adopted and
communicated by the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company or the CEO or
COO  of  FIND  to the  executive  or  administrative  personnel  of the  Company
generally,  including  through the  provisions of the  personnel  manuals of the
Company  and FIND (to the  extent  applicable  to the  Company),  as both may be
amended  and in effect  from time to time.  In  addition  to his duties as Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, the Executive shall feel free to give Find his
input on Find's  consolidated  in-depth  research and  competitive  intelligence
operations.  In connection  therewith,  the  Executive  shall be a member of the
Find's  Operating  Management  Group (the  "OMG")  whose  function is to propose
initiatives and supplemental strategies needed to move Find to the next level of
growth  and to apply  Find's  overall  policies  and  strategies.  To the extent
permitted by applicable law, FIND acknowledges  that Executive,  in his capacity
as Chief Executive Officer of the Company,  will not be deemed by the Company to
be, as of the  Effective  Date,  an "officer" of FIND as such term is defined in
Rule 16a-1 under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act");  provided,  however,  that Executive shall be solely  responsible for any
ongoing  compliance  obligations he may have under Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

      Section 2. Employment  Period.  The term of the Executive's  employment by
the Company (the  "Employment  Period") shall commence on the Effective Date and
shall continue  until the earliest to occur of: (i) the third (3rd)  anniversary
of the  Effective  Date;  (ii)  termination  of the  Executive's  employment  in
accordance  with Sections  6(a),  6(b) or 6(c) hereof;  or (iii) the date of the
Executive's death.

      Section  3. Time and  Effort;  Disclosure  and Fair  Dealing.  During  the
Employment  Period,  the Executive  shall devote his entire  business time, best
efforts,  attention,  energies, skill and abilities, during usual business hours
and at such other  times as are  reasonably  required  by his  position as Chief
Executive  Officer,  by the CEO or COO of  FIND,  or by the  Company's  Board of
Directors,  to (a) diligently and faithfully carry out his  responsibilities and
duties hereunder;  (b) use his best efforts to promote the success and expansion
of the Company's  business,  and (c) cooperate fully with the Board of Directors
and the  CEO or COO of FIND in the  advancement  of the  best  interests  of the
Company and FIND.  During the Employment  Period,  the Executive shall carry out
his  responsibilities  and duties at the offices of the Company,  which,  for at
least the first eighteen (18) months of the Employment Period,  shall be located
in Arlington,  Virginia or a location in reasonable proximity thereto; provided,
that  Executive may be required to travel from time to time in  connection  with
his duties  hereunder and the demands of the business of the Company.  Executive
shall not,  without the prior  written  consent of the CEO or COO of FIND (x) do
anything or permit  anything to be done at his direction  inconsistent  with his
duties to the Company or its Affiliates or opposed to their best  interests,  or
(y) become an officer, director,  employee or consultant of, or otherwise become
associated  with or engaged  in, any  business  other than that of the  Company;
provided,  that the CEO or COO of FIND  shall  not  unreasonably  withhold  such
consent  as a result of (y)  above,  so long as such  activity  (i) shall  occur
entirely on Executive's  own time and does not materially  interrupt,  interfere
with, or otherwise  detract from the  Executive's  performance of the duties and
responsibilities  of the  Executive to the  Company,  and (ii) does not benefit,
directly or indirectly, any organization or activity that in any manner competes
or is known to have planned to compete, directly or indirectly, with the Company
or FIND or any of their respective Affiliates. Any consent granted by the CEO or
COO of FIND pursuant to the preceding  sentence may be limited from time to time
or revoked by the CEO or COO of FIND or the Board of  Directors  of the Company,
provided that such  limitation  or revocation  shall be done in good faith based
upon a  reasonable  change in  circumstances.  Nothing  in this  Section 3 shall
prevent the Executive from engaging in additional  activities in connection with
personal investments (including passive real estate and securities  investments)
and community  affairs that are not  inconsistent  with the  Executive's  duties
under this  Agreement.  The Executive  will  promptly  disclose to the Company's
Board of Directors  and the CEO or COO of FIND all  information,  opportunities,
developments and other matters coming to the Executive's  attention that pertain
or are relevant to the  operations of the Company or any of its Affiliates or to
the  conduct  of  their  respective  businesses.  The  Executive  will  promptly
communicate,  fully  cooperate  and deal  fairly and openly  with the  Company's
directors,  other officers or key personnel, and, in general, to the best of his
abilities, the Executive will work to achieve efficient and profitable operation
of the Company's business and the orderly conduct of the Company's affairs.  For
purpose of this  Agreement  "Affiliate"  shall mean (i) as to  Executive  or the
Company,  any party, which directly or indirectly,  whether alone or through one
or more intermediaries,  controls,  is controlled by, or is under common control
with  Executive  or the  Company,  as the case may be, and (ii) as to FIND,  the
subsidiaries and related entities of FIND set forth in its filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange  Commission  pursuant to the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934.

      Section 4. Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Interference.

            (a)  Protection  of  Nonpublic  Information.  The  Executive  hereby
acknowledges  that (a) during the course of the  Executive's  employment  by the
Company  the  Executive  has  obtained  or  will  obtain  knowledge  of and  use
Confidential Information,  as hereinafter defined, (b) public disclosure of such
Confidential  Information  could have an adverse effect on the Company,  FIND or
their  respective  Affiliates  and  their  respective  businesses;  and  (c) the
provisions of this Section are  reasonable and necessary to prevent the improper
use or disclosure of Confidential Information. Both during the Employment Period
and at all times  thereafter,  the Executive (i) shall treat as confidential all
Confidential  Information,  (ii) without the prior written consent of the CEO of
FIND,  shall  not use for  any  personal  purposes,  publish,  reveal,  divulge,
transfer or otherwise disclose,  or directly or indirectly make available to any
party any of such  Confidential  Information  except to such parties that either
(a) are employed by, or (b) have signed a confidentiality agreement with respect
to such Confidential Information with the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case
may be, which owns or has the right to use such  Confidential  Information,  and
such parties have a need for such  information for purposes that are in the best
interest of the Company or the  Subsidiary,  as the case may be, and (iii) shall
not use Confidential Information in any way that is detrimental to the interests
of the Company,  FIND or their  respective  Affiliates.  The term  "Confidential
Information"  shall mean any and all  knowledge  relating  to the  business  and
affairs  of  the  Company,  FIND  or  their  respective  Affiliates,  and  their
respective  trade  secrets,   business  methodologies,   financial  information,
customer and personnel information and data, creditors, shareholders, directors,
contractors,  agents,  consultants,  employees,  terms of  contracts,  and other
confidential  or nonpublic  information  pertaining  to the business  practices,
properties,  services, products, ideas, know-how,  improvements and developments
of the Company,  FIND or their respective  Affiliates,  conceived,  developed or
devised by or for the Company, FIND or their respective  Affiliates,  that is or
is intended by any of them to be of a confidential  nature,  including,  but not
limited to, any and all knowledge relating to products,  research,  development,
inventions,   manufacture,   purchasing,  accounting,  finances,  costs,  profit
margins,   marketing,   merchandising,   selling,   customer   lists,   customer
requirements  and personnel,  pricing,  pricing methods,  computer  programs and
software,  databases and data  processing and any and all other such  knowledge,
information  and  materials,  heretofore  or  hereafter  during the term of this
Agreement, conceived, designed. created, used or developed by or relating to the
Company,   FIND  or  their  respective   Affiliates.   The  term   "Confidential
Information" shall include the  aforementioned  items  notwithstanding  the fact
that such  information may or may not be explicitly  marked as confidential  and
notwithstanding the fact that such information could be independently  developed
by third  parties.  Nothing  contained in this Section 4(a),  however,  shall be
construed as imposing  restraints  upon the  Executive's use of any knowledge or
information which is or becomes made publicly available by the Company,  FIND or
their  respective  Affiliates  or is  otherwise  general  technical  know how or
information that is in the public domain or has been rightfully  obtained by the
Executive  from  persons  other  than  the  Company,  FIND or  their  respective
Affiliates  where such persons are under no obligation of trust or confidence to
the  Company,  FIND or its  Affiliates.  In the  event  that  the  Executive  is
requested or required by subpoena,  civil investigative  demand or other process
to disclose any  Confidential  Information,  the Executive shall promptly notify
the  Company so that the  Company may seek an  appropriate  protective  order or
waive  compliance  with this  Agreement.  If,  failing the entry of a protective
order,  the Executive  is, in the opinion of his counsel,  compelled to disclose
Confidential  Information,  the  Executive  may  disclose  that  portion  of the
Confidential  Information which his counsel advises in writing he is required to
disclose.

Purchase  Agreement  required to be made  pursuant to the terms of the  Purchase
Agreement within sixty (60) days after the applicable Date of Determination  (as

      Notwithstanding the restrictions  contained in this Section 4, the parties
acknowledge  and agree  that so long as the  Executive  is not  employed  by the
Company, the Executive's  solicitation of a current or former customer or client
of the Company,  FIND or their respective  Affiliates (a "Restricted  Customer")
will not, in and of itself,  result in a breach of this  Section 4(b) or Section
4(c) provided that the following conditions are met:

            (i) the  Executive  does not  solicit  any person at the  Restricted
            Customer   with  whom  the   Executive  had  contact  prior  to  the
            termination  of his  employment  with  the  Company  (a  "Restricted
            Contact")  nor any other  person  within such  Restricted  Contact's
            department at the Restricted Customer;

            (ii)  the  Executive's   solicitation  of  the  Restricted  Customer
            pertains to a product or service  that is not  competitive  with the
            business of the Company, FIND or their respective Affiliates;

            (iii) the Executive's  solicitation of a Restricted Customer is not,
            at the time of the  commencement  of such  solicitation,  reasonably
            likely to  negatively  impact the Company's  relationship  with such
            Restricted  Customer,  including its business  with such  Restricted
            Customer; and

            (iv) the  Executive  is  otherwise  in  compliance  with each of the
            covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 4.

            (c)  Non-Interference.  At any time during the Employment  Period or
the  two (2)  year  period  immediately  thereafter,  the  Executive  shall  not
interfere  with  any of the  Company,  FIND's  or their  respective  Affiliates'
relationships  with any party,  including  any party who, at any time during the
Employment Period, was an employee,  contractor,  supplier or customer of any of
the Company,  FIND or their respective  Affiliates.  At any time during or after
the Employment  Period, the Executive shall not make public statements which may
negatively impact any of the Company, FIND or their respective Affiliates or any
of their respective shareholders,  directors, officers, employees or agents with
respect to the customers,  suppliers,  products, personnel or business of any of
the Company,  FIND or their  respective  Affiliates  and, the Company,  FIND and
their respective  Affiliates  shall not make public  statements which negatively
impact Executive,  except to the extent such statements by Executive or Company,
FIND or their  respective  Affiliates  are (i)  required  by law (ii)  made in a
manner  consistent with an individual's  fiduciary duties or (iii) in connection
with  any  arbitration,   mediation,   administrative   action,   or  litigation
(including,  without limitation pleadings,  depositions,  discovery requests and
testimony)  relating  to this  Agreement.  For  purposes of this  Section  4(c),
"interfere"  shall mean acts or  conduct  that is  reasonably  likely to hamper,
hinder  or  disturb  the  relationships  between  the  Company,  FIND  or  their
respective Affiliates and any applicable party; provided, however, that the term
"interfere"  shall not include any act of  solicitation  under Section  4(b)(i),
(ii) or (v) hereof that was  permissible in accordance with the terms of Section
4(b) at the time that such act was committed.

discoveries  and  other  information  related  to the  business  of the  Company
(collectively  "developments") conceived,  developed or acquired by him alone or
with others during the Employment  Period.  All such  developments  shall be the
sole and exclusive property of the Company, and upon request the Executive shall
deliver to the Company all drawings,  models and other data and records relating
to such developments.  In the event any such developments shall be deemed by the
Company or the CEO of FIND to be  patentable  or  copyrightable,  the  Executive
shall,  while  employed,  at the expense of the  Company,  assist the Company in
obtaining any patents or copyrights thereon and execute all documents and do all
other things  necessary or proper to obtain letters patent and copyrights and to
vest the Company with full title thereto.

            (e) Acknowledgments by Executive.  The Executive  acknowledges that:
(a) the services to be performed by him under this  Agreement are for a special,
unique, unusual,  extraordinary and intellectual character;  (b) the business of
the Company,  FIND and their respective Affiliates is national and international
in scope and its products are marketed throughout the United States and in other
countries,  territories  and  possessions;  (c) the  Company  and FIND and their
respective Affiliates compete with other businesses that are or could be located
in any  part of the  United  States  and in  other  countries,  territories  and
possessions;  and (d)  the  provisions  of this  Section  4 are  reasonable  and
necessary to protect the  business of the Company and FIND and their  respective
Affiliates and will not restrict Executive from earning a livelihood.

            (f) Remedies. The Executive hereby acknowledges that a breach by the
Executive of the provisions of this Section 4 cannot reasonably or adequately be
compensated  in  damages  in an action  at law;  and that a breach of any of the
provisions  contained in this  Section 4 will cause the Company,  FIND and their
respective  Affiliates  irreparable  injury and damage.  By reason thereof,  the
Executive hereby agrees that the Company,  FIND and their respective  Affiliates
shall be  entitled,  in  addition  to any other  remedies it may have under this
Agreement or otherwise,  to preliminary,  temporary and permanent injunctive and
other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any actual or threatened  breach of
this Section 4 by the Executive;  provided,  however,  that no  specification in
this Agreement of a specific  legal or equitable  remedy shall be construed as a
waiver or prohibition  against the pursuing of other legal or equitable remedies
in the event of such a breach.  None of the Company,  FIND and their  respective
Affiliates  shall be required to post bond in  connection  with seeking any such
equitable remedies.

      Section 5. Compensation and Benefits.  The Executive and the Company agree
to the following compensation arrangements:

            (a) Salary.  For the services to be rendered by the Executive and in
consideration  of the Executive's  other  undertakings  in this  Agreement,  the
Company  shall pay to the  Executive a salary at the rate of Two  Hundred  Fifty
Thousand Dollars  ($250,000.00) per year during the first year of the Employment
Period and Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand  ($275,000) per year during each of
the second and third years of the Employment  Period,  which shall be payable in
equal periodic installments according to the Company's normal payroll practices,
but no less frequently than monthly.  The salary of Executive may be (but is not
required to be) increased from time to time in the discretion of the CEO of FIND
based upon such  factors as each of the CEO of FIND and the  Company's  Board of
Directors may consider  relevant.  If the  Employment  Period ends on a day that
precedes the last accounting day of a fiscal or compensation period, any amounts
payable to the Executive  for that period shall be reduced in accordance  with a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of days of the period during
which the  Employment  Period  was in effect  and the  denominator  shall be the
number of days comprising the entirety of such fiscal or compensation period.

without the prior written authorization of the CEO of FIND.

            (d) Benefit  Plans.  During the  Employment  Period,  subject to the
eligibility   and  other   conditions   thereof  and  payment  of  any  required
contributions,  the  Executive  and his  immediate  family  shall be entitled to
participate in all employee  pension or welfare  benefit plans and  arrangements
generally  maintained  for  executive  employees  of FIND  (presently  or in the
future,  and subject to  termination or amendment) and in which the Executive is
or may become  eligible  to  participate  (including,  without  limitation,  any
defined benefit pension plan currently maintained by FIND, group life insurance,
accidental death and  dismemberment  plans, and medical plans) or, if during the
Employment  Period the Executive cannot be covered by the Company's medical plan
or such medical plans are terminated or amended, the Company will use reasonable
efforts to provide  Executive  and his family with  coverage  comparable  to the
medical plan of the Company on the date hereof. The Company and FIND retains the
right to terminate, alter, replace or modify benefits under any medical plans or
policies on a non-discriminatory basis from time to time.

            (e) Vacations.  During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation  annually  (subject to prorating for
partial  years),  to be taken at such times as are consistent  with the needs of
the Company and the  convenience  of the  Executive,  plus such other  holidays,
personal  days or  other  days  as may be  determined  in  accordance  with  the
Company's  policies as in effect from time to time. Unused parts of any vacation
and unused  holidays will not be separately  compensable  or otherwise  form the
basis for  additional  compensation  and shall  not be  accumulated  so as to be
available in respect of any subsequent 12-month period.

            (f) Stock Options.  Pursuant to the terms of the FIND/SVP, INC. 2003
Stock  Incentive  Plan, or such other stock  incentive plan of FIND as may be in
effect from time to time (the "Plan") the Executive  shall be granted options to
purchase  up to  25,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  per  year at the end of each
calendar  year of the term with such  number of shares  granted  based  upon the
performance  criteria set forth on Schedule 5(f) hereof,  which number of shares
shall be prorated  during any calendar  year in which the Executive was employed
by the  Company  for less than the full year.  The terms and  provisions  of the
options and any other  compensation  paid pursuant to this Section shall be more
fully set forth in stock option agreements and other  appropriate  agreements to
be entered into by the Executive and FIND. The grant thereof shall be subject to
the  terms of the Plan and the  execution  of such  agreements.  If an amount of
shares or options  under the Plan are not  immediately  available  for  issuance
pursuant to the terms  hereof,  such shares and options will be issued  promptly
upon becoming available.

            (g) Tax and Other  Withholdings.  The  amounts  payable  under  this
Section 5 or Section 6(d) hereof are subject to all applicable federal and state
income tax, social security and other governmentally mandated withholdings,  and
any   contributions  the  Executive  may  authorize  to  be  withheld  from  his
compensation.

            (h)  Indemnification.  FIND  shall,  or shall  cause the Company to,
indemnify  Executive if the  Executive is a party to or  threatened to be made a
party to or  otherwise  involved  in any  proceeding  by reason of the fact that
Executive is or was an agent of the Company, including any proceeding based upon
any act or inaction by  Executive  in his  capacity as an agent of the  Company,
against  any and all  expenses,  judgments,  fines and  penalties  actually  and
reasonably  incurred by him in connection with such proceeding,  but only if the
Executive acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best  interests  of the  Company,  and,  with  respect to any
criminal  proceeding,  had no  reasonable  cause  to  believe  his  conduct  was
unlawful.  FIND  shall,  or shall cause the  Company  to,  advance all  expenses
incurred by Executive in connection  with any proceeding to which Executive is a
party or is threatened  to be made a party by reason of the fact that  Executive
is or was an agent of the Company.  Executive  hereby  undertakes  to repay such
amounts  advanced  only if,  and to the  extent  that,  it shall  ultimately  be
determined  that  Executive  is not  entitled to be  indemnified  by FIND or the
Company as authorized by this Agreement. The advances to be made hereunder shall
be paid by FIND or the Company to or on behalf of Executive  within  thirty (30)
days following  delivery of a written request  therefor by Executive to FIND and
the Company.  The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set
forth in this  Section  5(h) shall not be deemed  exclusive  of any other rights
which  Executive may have under any provision of law, the Company's  Certificate
of  Incorporation  or By-Laws,  other  agreements or otherwise,  and Executive's
rights hereunder shall continue after Executive has ceased acting as an agent of
the Company and shall inure to the benefit of Executive's  heirs,  executors and
administrators.

      Section 6. Termination of Employment.

            (a) For Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's  employment
and  all  of  the  Company's   obligations  hereunder  (unless  such  provisions
explicitly  survive  termination) at any time for Cause, as defined below.  Such
termination  shall be evidenced by written  notice  delivered to the  Executive,
unequivocally  stating the  Company's  decision  to  terminate  the  Executive's
employment  under this Section 6(a) and  specifying  the facts forming the basis
for the Cause for such  termination.  Such termination shall be effective on the
date stated in such notice;  provided,  that in no event shall such  termination
date be more than sixty  (60) days after the date that the notice is  delivered.
For purposes  hereof,  the term "Cause" shall mean one or more of the following:
(i) the court  appointment  of a conservator  or like official for the person or
property of the Executive;  (ii) the Executive's  conviction of, or the entering
of a  guilty  plea or plea of no  contest  with  respect  to,  a crime  of moral
turpitude or a felony;  (iii) the issuance of a court order,  judgment or decree
enjoining or having the effect of preventing the Executive  from  performing his
duties  under this  Agreement;  (iv) the  Executive's  failure to  substantially
perform his duties hereunder under the direction of the CEO of FIND or to adhere
to any written Company policy  generally  applied (or FIND policy  applicable to
the Company and generally  applied) if the Executive has been given a reasonable
opportunity  to comply  with such duties or policy or cure his failure to comply
(which reasonable opportunity must be granted by notice no less than thirty (30)
days preceding termination of this Agreement,  if reasonably curable during such
period, or if not reasonably curable in such period, the Executive  commences to
cure such breach within such period and diligently  proceeds to cure such breach
no later than forty  (40) days  after the giving of notice,  except  that if two
such prior notices have been received by Executive for substantively the same or
related  matter,  no  further  notice  or cure or  compliance  period  shall  be
required); (v) because of his physical or mental illness, injury,  disability or
incapacity,  the Executive does not fulfill his duties  hereunder on a full-time
basis for either  seventy-five (75) consecutive days or one hundred twenty (120)
days in any period of eighteen (18) months;  (vi) the Executive's  commission of
an act of fraud,  deception or  dishonesty  when acting for the Company or under
other  circumstances,  and such act harms or may  reasonably be expected to harm
the Company or any of its Affiliates or their respective businesses,  including,
without  limitation,  (A) the  appropriation  (or attempted  appropriation) of a
material business opportunity of the Company,  including attempting to secure or
securing any personal profit in connection with any transaction  entered into on
behalf   of  the   Company   and  (B)   the   misappropriation   (or   attempted
misappropriation)  of  any  of  the  Company's  funds  or  property;  (vii)  the
Executive's gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with his duties
hereunder; or (viii) the Executive's breach of any of the covenants contained in
Section 4 hereof.

            (b) For Good Reason.  The  Executive  shall be entitled to terminate
Executive's  employment  and  all  of  his  obligations  hereunder  (except  the
obligations set forth in (i) Section 4 unless  otherwise  permitted  pursuant to
Section 4(g) hereof and (ii) Sections 6(d) and 6(e)) for Good Reason, as defined
below,  and as of the  expiration of a period of thirty (30) days  following the
Executive's  delivery  of a written  notice  to the  Company  setting  forth his
election to terminate the  Executive's  employment  hereunder and specifying the
facts forming the basis for the Executive's exercise of his right of termination
pursuant to this Section.  For purposes of this  Agreement,  "Good Reason" shall
mean  (i)  any  act or  omission  on the  part of the  Company  , Find or  their
respective  Affiliates  which  constitutes a material  breach of this Agreement,
unless the Company , Find or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, ceases,
corrects and cures all adverse effects of such breach within the thirty (30) day
notice period  specified in this  Section,  if  reasonably  curable  during such
period,  or if not reasonably  curable in such period,  the Company commences to
cure such breach within such period and diligently  proceeds to cure such breach
no later than forty  (40) days  after the  giving of notice,  (ii) the  material
diminution of Executive's position, duties, responsibilities and status with the
Company,  or (iii) a relocation of the Executive's offices to more than a twenty
(20) mile radius outside of Arlington, Virginia.

            (c) Other than for Cause.  Subject to Executive's rights pursuant to
Section 6(d) hereof,  the Company shall be entitled to terminate  this Agreement
for any or no reason.

            (d) Compensation and Benefits Following Termination.

            (I) If the Executive's  employment with the Company is terminated by
the Company upon the death of Executive,  for Cause in  accordance  with Section
6(a) hereof or by the Executive  for other than Good Reason in  accordance  with
Section 6(b) hereof,  the Company shall pay the Executive,  without deduction or

amounts set forth in subsections (A) and (B) below:

            (A)   On or before the  executive's  payroll date next following the
                  day  on  which  such   termination   becomes   effective  (the
                  "Termination Date"), an amount equal to that proportion of the
                  Executive's  salary, at the rate then in effect,  determinable
                  under Section 5(a) hereof, and

            (B)   With reasonable  promptness  following the  Termination  Date,
                  reimbursement for all expenses subject to reimbursement  under
                  Section 5(c) hereof.

            (II) If the  Executive's  employment  with the Company is terminated
(a) by the  Company  other  than for Cause  (except  as a result of the death of
Executive),  or (b) by the  Executive  for  Good  Reason,  the  Executive  shall
continue to be provided  his Base Salary and the  benefits  specified in Section
5(d) for a period that is the greater of one year and the time  remaining in the
Employment  Period;  provided,  however,  that if the Company discovers that the
Executive has violated any part of Section 4 hereof,  the Executive shall not be
entitled to such payments.

            (III) After  termination of the Employment Period and any additional
period  for which he is being paid or due salary  pursuant  to Section  6(d)(II)
hereof,  Executive  shall be entitled,  at his own cost, to continue any medical
benefits  provided to him during the Employment  Period to the extent  permitted
under the policies and plans of the Company.

            (IV)  Executive  agrees that no  payments  or benefits  shall be due
Executive  after the  Employment  Period under this Section 6 or otherwise  with
respect to this agreement or Executive's  employment with the Company until such
time as Executive executes before a notary the Release annexed hereto as Exhibit
6(d)(IV) hereto and delivers an original counterpart thereof to the CEO of FIND.

            (e)  Use  and  Return  of  Materials.  At  the  termination  of  the
Employment  Period,  irrespective  of the  reasons  for  such  termination,  the
Executive  shall  return  to the CEO of FIND the  originals  and all  copies  of
correspondence,  memoranda,  papers, files, records and other materials that may
at any time have come into his possession and relate to the business and affairs
of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

      Section 7. Costs of Enforcement.  In the event that either party brings an
action to enforce  such  party's  rights  under this  Agreement,  including  any
provision of Section 4 hereof, any party or parties prevailing in such action by
judgment  or order of a court of  competent  jurisdiction  shall be  entitled to
recover  from  the  party or  parties  against  whom  the  order is given or the
judgment  is entered all costs and  expenses,  including  reasonable  attorneys'
fees,  incurred by the prevailing  party or parties with respect to such action,
such award of costs and expenses to be determined by the Court.

      Section 8. Reasonableness of Restrictions: Severability. The Executive has
carefully read and  considered  the  provisions of Section 4 hereof,  and agrees
that the  restrictions  set forth in such  Section  are fair and are  reasonably
required for the protection of the legitimate  interests of the Company.  In the
event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any section of this Agreement, or any
other part  hereof,  shall be held by a court of  competent  jurisdiction  to be
invalid or  unenforceable,  the  remaining  provisions  thereof and hereof shall
nevertheless  continue  to be valid and  enforceable  as though  the  invalid or
unenforceable  parts  had  not  been  included  therein.  Without  limiting  the
foregoing,  in the event that any provision of Section 4 hereof  relating to the
time  period or the areas of  restriction  (or both) shall be held by a court of
competent  jurisdiction  to exceed the  maximum  time  period or area such court
deems  reasonable and  enforceable,  the time period or areas of restriction (or
both) deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall become and thereafter
be the maximum  time period or areas of  restriction  (or both).  The periods of
time  applicable  to any covenant in Section 4 shall be extended by the duration
of any violation by the Executive of such covenant.  The Executive shall,  while
the covenants under Section 4 are in effect, give notice to the Company,  within
ten  days  after  accepting  any  other  employment,  of  the  identity  of  the
Executive's employer. The Company may notify such employer that the Executive is
bound by this  Agreement and, at the Company's  election,  furnish such employer
with a copy of the relevant portions of this Agreement.

      Section 9. Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to
the benefit of the  successors  and  assigns of the Company and the  Executive's
heirs and legal  representatives.  This  Agreement and the rights,  interest and
benefits  of the  Executive  shall not,  however,  be subject  to  voluntary  or
involuntary assignment,  transfer, or hypothecation,  directly or indirectly, by
the Executive or his heirs and legal  representatives  without the prior written
consent of the Board of Directors of the Company.

      Section 10.  Modification and Waiver.  No modification or waiver of any of
the provisions of this Agreement, and no extension or renewal of or substitution
for this  Agreement  shall be binding upon either of the parties  hereto  unless
made in writing and signed by the  Executive and signed on behalf of the Company
by its duly authorized officer.

      Section 11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the applicable provisions
of the Purchase  Agreement  constitute the entire agreement  between the parties
hereto with respect to the employment of the Executive and supersede any and all
prior agreements, whether oral or written, concerning such employment.

      Section 12.  Notices.  All notices  and other  communications  provided in
connection  with  this  Agreement  shall  be in  writing  and  shall  be  deemed
effectively  given in all respects (a) when received,  if manually  delivered or
delivered by  overnight  mail  courier;  or (b) at the time of  transmission  if
transmitted by facsimile (with confirmed  receipt) and confirmed in written hard
copy actually delivered prior to the end of the third business day thereafter.
