agent (the  "ESCROW  AGENT").  Each of  Friedland,  La Terra and  Whitcup may be
individually  referred to herein as a "STOCKHOLDER"  and,  collectively,  as the

      WHEREAS, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 1, 2003,
among FIND, Guideline Research Corp., La Terra and Friedland, a copy of which is
annexed  hereto as EXHIBIT 1 (the "PURCHASE  Agreement"),  FIND purchased all of
the issued and outstanding  shares of capital stock of Guideline Research Corp.;
and

      WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, FIND will deposit on the date
hereof a number of shares of the common  stock of FIND,  par value  $0.0001  per
share ("FIND COMMON STOCK"),  with the Escrow Agent in order to provide security
for indemnity  payments,  if any, obligated to be made to FIND and each of their
officers, directors, employees, and agents (together, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES")
as and to the extent provided in Section 7.3 of the Purchase  Agreement (a "FIND
INDEMNITY CLAIM"); and

      WHEREAS, Whitcup acknowledges that the Escrow Shares issued in his name at
the request of Friedland and La Terra are being  delivered on the date hereof to
Escrow Agent in order to provide security for indemnity claims against Friedland
and La Terra pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement; and

      WHEREAS,  FIND and the  Stockholders  wish to appoint the Escrow  Agent to
serve as the escrow  agent  hereunder,  and the Escrow Agent is willing to do so
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

      NOW,  THEREFORE,  FIND, the Stockholders and the Escrow Agent hereby agree
as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

              APPOINTMENT OF ESCROW AGENT; DEPOSIT OF ESCROW SHARES

      1.1  APPOINTMENT  OF THE  ESCROW  AGENT:  DEPOSIT  OF ESCROW  SHARES.  The
Stockholders and FIND hereby constitute and appoint the Escrow Agent as, and the
Escrow Agent hereby agrees to assume and perform the duties of, the escrow agent
under and pursuant to this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent acknowledges  receipt of
an executed copy of the Purchase Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of
this Agreement, FIND has deposited with the Escrow Agent certificates evidencing
an  aggregate  number  of  295,043  shares of FIND  Common  Stock  (the  "ESCROW
SHARES").  Such  certificates  have been issued in the names of the Stockholders
and in the  number  of shares  indicated  for each  Stockholder  as set forth on
SCHEDULE A hereto and  represent  issued and  outstanding  stock on the  balance
sheet of FIND. The  Stockholders  have each tendered with the Escrow Shares five
(5) duly  executed  blank stock

powers (the "STOCK POWERS"). The Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the
Escrow Shares and the Stock Powers.  The Escrow Shares and the Exchange Cash (as
defined herein), if any, shall not be subject to any lien, attachment,  trustee,
process or any other judicial  process of any creditor of any party hereto.  The
Escrow  Agent  agrees to hold the Escrow  Shares,  the Stock  Powers and, to the
extent  received by Escrow Agent  pursuant to Section 2.14, the Exchange Cash in
escrow subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

      1.2  MAINTENANCE  OF  ESCROW.   Each  Stockholder's  "PRO  RATA  LIABILITY
PERCENTAGE" shall be as set forth opposite such  Stockholder's  name on SCHEDULE
A. The Escrow Agent is hereby granted the power to effect any transfer of Escrow
Shares  required by this Agreement using the applicable  Stock Powers.  FIND and
the Stockholders  shall cooperate with the Escrow Agent in promptly issuing,  or
causing its transfer agent to promptly issue,  such stock  certificates as shall
be required to effect such transfers.  The  Stockholders  and FIND will take any
action  reasonably  required  by the  transfer  agent  of  FIND to  effect  such
transfers,  including,  if required,  promptly providing any necessary medallion
signature  guarantees.  Whitcup  acknowledges  and agrees that the Escrow Shares
issued in his name at the request of Friedland and La Terra are being  delivered
on the date hereof to Escrow Agent in order to provide  security  for  indemnity
claims that FIND may have against  Friedland and La Terra  pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.

      1.3 TAXES. The Stockholders shall pay all applicable  income,  withholding
and any other taxes  imposed on or measured by income which is  attributable  to
income from the Escrow  Shares and the Exchange  Cash and shall file all tax and
information returns applicable thereto.

      1.4 VOTING OF SHARES.  Each Stockholder  shall have the sole right to vote
any Escrow Shares being held in the name of such  Stockholder and to receive any
dividends thereon.

      1.5  TRANSFERABILITY.  The respective interests of the Stockholders in the
Escrow Shares and the Exchange  Cash shall not be  assignable  or  transferable,
other than by  operation of law or pursuant to the terms  hereof.  Notice of any
such  assignment  or transfer by  operation  of law shall be given to the Escrow
Agent and FIND,  and no such  assignment  or transfer  shall be valid until such
notice is given.

      1.6  ADJUSTMENTS  TO ESCROW  SHARES.  If all or any  portion of the Escrow
Shares are subject to any share distribution,  share split, split-up, split-off,
spin-off, recapitalization,  reincorporation merger with a wholly owned Delaware
subsidiary, separation, reorganization, liquidation, combination, redemption, or
exchange  of  shares,  warrants  or other  units of  equity  (together,  "EQUITY
EQUIVALENTS")  of FIND,  occurring  after the date hereof,  as a result of which
Equity  Equivalents of any class shall be issued in respect of outstanding  FIND
Common Stock being changed into the same or a different number of shares of FIND
Common Stock or other Equity Equivalents,  the number and value of Escrow Shares
shall be correspondingly  and ratably adjusted by the Board of Directors of FIND
so as to be substantially the economic equivalent of the number and value of the
Escrow  Shares  that  are in the  possession  of the  Escrow  Agent  immediately
preceding  the event that  causes the change in the number or  character  of the
shares of FIND Common  Stock.  FIND shall  effect this change by  replacing  the
Escrow Shares with Equity  Equivalents within fifteen (15) days of the effective
date of the event  that  caused the  change in the  number or  character  of the
shares  of  FIND  Common  Stock.  Upon  receipt  by  Escrow  Agent,  the  Equity
Equivalents  shall be  deemed  to be  Escrow  Shares  for all  purposes

                                       2
<PAGE>

hereof;  provided, that the valuation provisions set forth Section 2.10 shall be
ratably  adjusted  by FIND in  accordance  with  the  actions  of the  Board  of
Directors causing the Equity Equivalents to be issued.

                                   ARTICLE II

                  DISTRIBUTION OF ESCROW SHARES; CASH EXCHANGE

      2.1 TERM OF ESCROW  ACCOUNT.  The Escrow Shares and Exchange Cash shall be
held by the  Escrow  Agent on the terms and  subject to the  conditions  herein,
subject to Section  2.8,  through May 31,  2004 (the  "EXPIRATION  DATE").  This
Agreement  shall  terminate  upon the delivery by the Escrow Agent of all of the
Escrow  Shares and Exchange Cash in accordance  with this  Agreement;  provided,
however,  that the  provisions of Sections  3.1(i),  (ii),  (iii) and 3.3 hereof
shall survive such termination.

      2.2  DELIVERY OF ESCROW  SHARES.  (a) The Escrow  Agent shall  deliver the
Escrow Shares and Exchange Cash only in accordance with (i) a written  agreement
signed  by each of the  Stockholders  and  FIND or (ii) the  provisions  of this
Article II. Upon delivery  and/or transfer of all of the Escrow Shares by Escrow
Agent  pursuant to the terms  hereof,  Escrow Agent shall return any  additional
blank Stock Powers executed by such Stockholder to such Stockholder.

      (b) Any delivery of all or a portion of the Escrow Shares to FIND shall be
made  by  the  Escrow  Agent's  delivery  of  the  certificate  or  certificates
evidencing  the  applicable  number of Escrow Shares to FIND or FIND's  transfer
agent (as applicable),  together with the applicable Stock Power(s), and written
instructions to FIND or FIND's transfer agent (as applicable)  instructing  such
party to deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate  to be further  issued in the
name of FIND and a  certificate  issued to the  applicable  Stockholder  for the
balance (if any) of the Escrow Shares to be further held by the Escrow Agent and
not delivered to FIND.

      (c) No  fractional  Escrow  Shares shall be held at any time by the Escrow
Agent  pursuant  to this  Agreement.  Instead,  the number of shares  subject to
delivery  shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and any fractions of
shares shall be deemed delivered to FIND for cancellation.

      2.3 FIND INDEMNITY  CLAIMS.  Upon the occurrence of an event which FIND in
good faith  believes  constitutes  the basis for FIND to receive a payment for a
FIND  Indemnity  Claim,  FIND shall  furnish  written  notice of such event (the
"INDEMNITY  NOTICE") (which notice shall state that it is given pursuant to this
Section 2.3) to each of the  Stockholders and the Escrow Agent (and in any event
on or prior to the Expiration  Date) setting forth FIND's then good faith belief
of the  basis  therefor,  and  FIND's  good  faith  estimate  of the  reasonably
foreseeable amount of the FIND Indemnity Claim. FIND shall, upon request, acting
reasonably and in good faith,  make available to the  Stockholders  all relevant
information  concerning  such FIND  Indemnity  Claim as the  Stockholders  shall
reasonably request and which is in or comes into the possession of FIND.

      2.4 FIND  INDEMNITY  CLAIMS NOT DISPUTED BY  STOCKHOLDERS.  (a) If, within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnity  Notice,  Friedland and La Terra
do not give the notice  provided for in Section  2.5,  FIND shall be entitled to
make demand (an  "UNDISPUTED  INDEMNITY

                                       3
<PAGE>

NOTICE  DEMAND") that the Escrow Agent either retain for future delivery to FIND
as and when the amount of the FIND Indemnity Claim is determined,  if the amount
of the FIND Indemnity Claim is not then  determined,  or deliver to FIND, if the
amount of the FIND Indemnity Claim has then been determined,  a number of Escrow
Shares issued in each  Stockholder's name and/or an amount of Exchange Cash that
is being held as a result of an exchange of Escrow  Shares  (pursuant to Section
2.13 hereof) that were issued in such  Stockholder's  name,  together  having an
aggregate value equal to his Pro Rata Liability  Percentage of the amount of the
FIND Indemnity Claim set forth in the Indemnity Notice.

      2.5  FIND  INDEMNITY  CLAIMS  DISPUTED  BY  STOCKHOLDERS  AS A  WHOLE.  If
Friedland  and La  Terra  jointly  and in good  faith  dispute  either  the FIND
Indemnity  Claim  described  in the  Indemnity  Notice or the amount  FIND seeks
payment on account of such FIND Indemnity  Claim,  Friedland and La Terra shall,
within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnity  Notice,  jointly  notify
FIND and the Escrow Agent of such dispute  setting  forth the basis  therefor in
reasonable  detail.  In the event  Friedland  and La Terra  jointly  dispute the
entire FIND  Indemnity  Claim,  the Escrow Agent shall not distribute any Escrow
Shares being held in any Stockholder's  name or any amount of Exchange Cash that
is  being  held  upon  exchange  of  Escrow  Shares  that  were  issued  in such
Stockholder's  name  pursuant to Section  2.13  hereof,  until the Escrow  Agent
receives (i) a written agreement signed by Friedland,  La Terra and FIND stating
the  aggregate  amount to which FIND is  entitled in  connection  with such FIND
Indemnity  Claim  (an  "INDEMNITY  CLAIM  AGREEMENT");  or  (ii)  a  copy  of an
arbitrator's  award or court order or judgment directing the aggregate amount to
which FIND is entitled in connection  with such FIND Indemnity  Claim,  provided
that such award,  order or judgment is final and binding  with  respect to FIND,
Friedland  and La Terra and from  which no appeal  may be taken or for which the
time to appeal has expired (a "FINAL JUDGMENT"); provided, in the case of clause
(ii) that the  Escrow  Agent  shall have given  written  notice of the  proposed
distribution,  together with copies,  of all such documents and opinions to FIND
and  the  Stockholders  at  least  five  (5)  days  prior  to  the  date  of the
distribution by the Escrow Agent.  After the occurrence of the events  specified
in clause (i) or (ii) above,  the Escrow Agent shall deliver to FIND a number of
Escrow  Shares  issued in each  Stockholder's  name and/or an amount of Exchange
Cash that is being held as a result of an exchange of Escrow Shares (pursuant to
Section  2.13  hereof)  that were issued in such  Stockholder's  name,  together
having an  aggregate  value equal to his Pro Rata  Liability  Percentage  of the
amount  specified  in the  Indemnity  Claim  Agreement  or  Final  Judgment,  as
applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.5, upon the death or
Disability of either  Friedland or La Terra only the non-disabled or alive party
need dispute the FIND Indemnity  Claim and provide the notice  described in this
section. "DISABILITY" for purposes of this agreement shall have the same meaning
as set forth in the most current employment agreement between Guideline Research
Corp. and such party alleged to be disabled.

      2.6 FIND INDEMNITY  CLAIMS  DISPUTED BY THE  STOCKHOLDERS  IN PART. In the
event  Friedland and La Terra jointly and in good faith dispute part of, but not
all of, a FIND  Indemnity  Claim,  the Escrow Agent shall,  if the amount of the
FIND Indemnity Claim is undetermined, retain for future delivery to FIND, or, if
the amount of the FIND Indemnity  Claim is determined,  deliver to FIND a number
of Escrow  Shares  being  held in each  Stockholder's  name  and/or an amount of
Exchange  Cash that is being held as a result of an  exchange  of Escrow  Shares
(pursuant to Section 2.13 hereof) that were issued in such  Stockholder's  name,
together having an aggregate value equal to his Pro Rata Liability Percentage of
the amount specified in the FIND Indemnity Claim attributable to that portion of
the FIND  Indemnity  Claim which is not

                                       4
<PAGE>

jointly  disputed by Friedland and La Terra.  The Escrow Agent shall not deliver
any Escrow  Shares or Exchange  Cash to FIND having an aggregate  value equal to
the amount  specified in the FIND Indemnity Claim with respect to the balance of
such FIND Indemnity  Claim except in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.5.  Notwithstanding  any provision of this Section 2.6, upon the death
or Disability  of either  Friedland or La Terra only the  non-disabled  or alive
party need dispute the FIND Indemnity Claim and provide the notice  described in
this section.

      2.7  DISTRIBUTION  OF ESCROW  SHARES AND EXCHANGE  CASH. No later than the
tenth business day immediately  following the Expiration Date, any Escrow Shares
and  Exchange  Cash  remaining  with the  Escrow  Agent  after the  withholdings
required  pursuant to the  provisions  of Sections  2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.8 hereof
shall be released  from the  provisions  of this Escrow  Agreement and delivered
promptly  (but in no event  later than  fifteen  (15) days after the  Expiration
Date) by the Escrow Agent to the respective Shareholders;  provided, that to the
extent that a share  certificate needs to be delivered to the transfer agent for
division  into  certificates  of  a  smaller  denomination  to  accommodate  the
withholdings  required  hereunder,  Escrow  Agent shall  promptly  deliver  such
certificate to the transfer agent (and not to such  Shareholder)  within fifteen
(15) days after the Expiration Date and then promptly deliver to the Shareholder
a certificate for the shares deliverable to the Shareholder hereunder within ten
(10) days of Escrow Agent's receipt.

      2.8 RETENTION OF ESCROW SHARES AFTER EXPIRATION DATE. After the Expiration
Date,  the Escrow Agent shall  continue to hold a number of Escrow  Shares being
held in each  Stockholder's name and/or an amount of Exchange Cash that is being
held as a result of an  exchange  of Escrow  Shares  (pursuant  to Section  2.13
hereof)  that  were  issued  in such  Stockholder's  name,  together  having  an
aggregate  value equal to such  Stockholder's  Pro Rata Liability  Percentage of
each unresolved FIND Indemnity Claim that is the subject of an Indemnity  Notice
until such time as the Escrow Agent receives for such  unresolved FIND Indemnity
Claim  (i) an FIND  Indemnity  Claim or (ii) a Final  Judgment,  (in each  case,
evidencing the ultimate  resolution of any of the underlying  claims referred to
in such  Indemnity  Notice  consistent  with this  Section 2), at which time the
Escrow  Agent shall (A) arrange for the  delivery of an amount of Escrow  Shares
issued in such  Stockholder's  name  and/or an amount of  Exchange  Cash that is
being held as a result of an exchange of Escrow Shares (pursuant to Section 2.13
hereof)  that  were  issued  in such  Stockholder's  name,  together  having  an
aggregate  value  equal  to his Pro  Rata  Liability  Percentage  of the  amount
specified in such FIND Indemnity  Claim or Final  Judgment,  as the case may be,
and (B) deliver an amount of Exchange  Cash,  if any, and deliver to each of the
Stockholders  that  number of Escrow  Shares,  if any,  which the  Escrow  Agent
continued  to hold after the  Expiration  Date by reason of such FIND  Indemnity
Claim and which is in excess of the  amount so  delivered  to FIND with  respect
thereto.

      2.9 REPORTING.  The parties hereto shall,  for federal income tax purposes
and, to the extent  permitted by applicable  law,  state and local tax purposes,
report  consistent with the  Stockholders as the owners of the Escrow Shares and
the Exchange Cash and as the taxpayers with respect to any income earned thereon
and the  Stockholders  shall furnish any required tax forms  consistent with the
foregoing.

      2.10 VALUE OF ESCROWED  SHARES.  For the purpose of determining the number
of Escrow  Shares  required  for (i) a  distribution  of  Escrow  Shares to FIND
pursuant to a FIND

                                       5
<PAGE>

Indemnification  Claim in  accordance  with  Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6, (ii) the
Escrow Agent's withholding requirements pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof, or (iii)
otherwise, the Escrow Agent shall divide (x) the applicable FIND Indemnity Claim
amount  pursuant to this Section 2 (less any Exchange  Cash,  (y) the applicable
withholding  amount  determined  pursuant  to  Section  2.8  hereof,  or (z) any
applicable amount determined pursuant to this Agreement,  as the case may be, by
the higher of (i) $1.271 and (ii) average closing price of the FIND Common Stock
for a ten (10)  consecutive  trading  day period  ending on the day  immediately
preceding the date that such notice was received by Escrow Agent.

      2.11 ARBITRATION.  Except in the event of the need for immediate equitable
relief  from a court of  competent  jurisdiction  to  prevent  irreparable  harm
pending  arbitration relief, and except for enforcement of a party's remedies to
the extent such  enforcement  must be pursuant to court  authorization  or order
under  applicable law, any dispute between the parties hereto or under any other
document,  instrument or writing  executed  pursuant to this Agreement  shall be
settled,  by  arbitration  before three  arbitrators  pursuant to the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American  Arbitration  Association (the "RULES") in New
York, New York or such other location as may be agreed upon by the parties.  For
purposes of this Agreement,  the parties consent to jurisdiction in New York for
any arbitration  proceeding or any action to enforce an arbitration  award.  The
arbitrators  shall be selected by a joint  agreement of La Terra,  Friedland and
FIND;  provided that if they do not so agree within twenty (20) business days of
the date of the request for arbitration, the selection shall be made pursuant to
the Rules.  Nothing in this  Agreement  shall  prevent the  parties  hereto from
settling  any  dispute  by mutual  agreement  at any time.  Any party or parties
awarded a final  determination or order in their favor by an arbitrator or court
pursuant to this  Section  2.11 shall be  entitled to recover  from the party or
parties against whom such final  determination  or order is given all reasonable
costs and  expenses,  including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  incurred  by the
prevailing   party  or  parties  with  respect  to  such  arbitration  or  court
proceeding, such award of costs and expenses to be determined by such arbitrator
or court.  Unless  otherwise  agreed in writing,  the parties  will  continue to
provide service and honor all other  commitments under this Agreement during the
course of dispute  resolution  pursuant to the  provisions  of this Section with
respect to all matters not subject to such dispute, controversy or claim.

      2.12 ACCOUNTING. The Escrow Agent shall upon reasonable request and notice
by any  party  hereto  provide a  written  account  to such  party  listing  any
transactions with respect to the Escrow Shares.

      2.13 CASH  EXCHANGE  UPON  EXERCISE  OF  CONSIDERATION  SHARES PUT. To the
extent that Escrow Agent is holding  Escrow  Shares  pursuant to this  Agreement
during  the  Exercise  Period,  Friedland  or La Terra  (whether  on  behalf  of
themselves  or Whitcup),  in connection  with the exercise of the  Consideration
Shares Put and  notwithstanding any provision of Section 2.10 hereof, may tender
to Escrow Agent at closing of such exercise of the Consideration  Shares Put (or
upon  default  thereof  upon drawing down of the Letters of Credit) an amount of
cash equal to the Exercise Price (except in the event,  and to the extent,  of a
"Put Guarantor Transaction" (as defined below) in which case such amount of cash
shall equal the Average  Closing Price) for each of the Exercised  Escrow Shares
in exchange for the number of Exercised Escrow Shares being held by Escrow Agent
(such payment being referred to herein as "Exchange  Cash").  Escrow Agent shall
attend such closing and deliver  such  Exercised  Escrow  Shares  provided  that
Escrow Agent is provided with reasonable notice of such closing and such closing
occurs in New

                                       6
<PAGE>

York, New York. A "Put Guarantor  Transaction"  for purposes hereof shall result
to the  extent  that  FIND  defaults  on  all  or  part  of an  exercise  of the
Consideration  Shares Put pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and Friedland or La
Terra  is being  paid all or part of the  Exercise  Price  by or  through  DW or
through   the   Letter(s)   of  Credit  for  the   Consideration   Shares   Put.
Notwithstanding  any  provision  hereof,  to the  extent  that  a Put  Guarantor
Transaction is effected in whole or in part through the Letter(s) of Credit, the
Exercised  Escrow Shares that are being paid for by or through such Letter(s) of
Credit  shall be  delivered  to David  Walke  and not the  Stockholders.  Upon a
drawing  by  Friedland  and/or La Terra on a Letter of  Credit  as  payment  for
Exercised Escrow Shares, such party(ies) undertake to arrange for such issuer of
the letter of credit to issue a bank,  certified,  cashier's  or teller's  check
upon the  drawing  thereof  payable to the Escrow  Agent and  request  that such
issuer, at Friedland and/or La Terra's expense,  as the case may be, immediately
deliver by recognized  overnight  courier,  or if such issuer refused to arrange
delivery,  personally  arrange  for such  delivery,  such check such that Escrow
Agent  receives  such  check  within two (2)  business  days of the date of such
drawing.  All capitalized  terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement and set
forth in this Section 2.13 shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Purchase  Agreement or the Put Notice annexed hereto as EXHIBIT 2. Exchange Cash
shall  be held by the  Escrow  Agent in  segregated  non-interest  bearing  IOLA
accounts.

      2.14 DELIVERY AND  WITHHOLDING OF ESCROW SHARES AND EXCHANGE  CASH.  After
the  receipt  of  Exchange  Cash by Escrow  Agent,  upon any event  requiring  a
delivery to FIND,  or a withholding  pursuant to the terms  hereof,  of Exchange
Cash and Escrow  Shares,  the Escrow  Agent  shall,  for each such  delivery  or
withholding, deliver or withhold for each such Stockholder a pro rata percentage
of the aggregate  Exchange  Cash and a pro rata  percentage of the Escrow Shares
equal to the Pro Rata Liability Percentage of such Stockholder.

      2.15  FLUCTUATIONS  IN VALUE OF ESCROW  SHARES.  It is  recognized  by the
parties hereto that FIND Common Stock, certificates of which comprise the Escrow
Shares, are publicly traded through the NASD and that fluctuations in the prices
of such stock will occur from day to day. The Escrow Agent shall not be required
or expected to notify any of the parties  hereto of any  fluctuation in value of
the said stock during the term hereof and the Stockholders shall not be required
to provide any additional Escrow Shares or other property by reason thereof.

      2.16 LIABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS.  For purposes of clarity,  notwithstanding
any provision set forth herein,  the parties  hereto agree that if the number of
Escrow Shares  issued in the name of a  Stockholder  together with the amount of
Exchange Cash delivered in exchange for Escrow Shares issued in the name of such
Stockholder  is not  sufficient  to cover  such  Stockholder's  liability  of an
Indemnification  Claim,  the  Escrow  Shares  issued  in the  name of any  other
Stockholder  and the amount of Exchange  Cash  delivered  in exchange for Escrow
Shares of such other  Stockholder  shall not be  diminished  or  withheld in any
manner as a result of such shortfall.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                  ESCROW AGENT

      3.1 DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE ESCROW AGENT. The duties and obligations
of the Escrow Agent shall be limited to and determined  solely by the provisions
of this Agreement and the certificates delivered in accordance herewith, and the
Escrow Agent is not charged with

                                       7
<PAGE>

knowledge of or any duties or responsibilities in respect of any other agreement
or document. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing:

            (i) the Escrow  Agent  shall be fully  protected  in relying in good
            faith upon any written certification,  notice,  direction,  request,
            waiver,  consent,  receipt or other  document  that the Escrow Agent
            reasonably believes to be genuine and duly authorized,  executed and
            delivered;

            (ii) the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment,
            or for any act done or omitted by it, or for any  mistake in fact or
            law,  or for  anything  that  it may do or  refrain  from  doing  in
            connection  herewith;  provided,  however,  that notwithstanding any
            other provision in this Agreement,  the Escrow Agent shall be liable
            only for its willful misconduct and gross negligence;

            (iii) the Escrow Agent may seek the advice of legal counsel selected
            with  reasonable  care in the event of any dispute or question as to
            the  construction  of any of the provisions of this Agreement or its
            duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully
            protected in respect of any action taken,  omitted or suffered by it
            in good faith in accordance with the opinion of such counsel;

            (iv) in the event that the Escrow Agent shall in any instance, after
            seeking  the advice of legal  counsel  pursuant  to the  immediately
            preceding  clause,  in good faith be  uncertain  as to its duties or
            rights hereunder, or receive conflicting  instructions,  it shall be
            entitled to refrain from taking any action in that  instance and its
            sole obligation,  in addition to those of its duties hereunder as to
            which  there is no such  uncertainty,  shall be to keep  safely  all
            property  held in the  Escrow  Account  until it shall be  otherwise
            notified  in  writing by each of the  parties  hereto or by a final,
            nonappealable  order  of  a  court  of  competent   jurisdiction  or
            arbitration  tribunal;  provided,  however,  in the  event  that the
            Escrow Agent has not received such written  direction or court order
            or  arbitration  award within one hundred eighty (180) calendar days
            after  requesting  the same,  it shall have the right to  interplead
            FIND  and  each of the  Stockholders  in any  court  or  arbitration
            tribunal  of  competent  jurisdiction  and  request  that such court
            determine its rights and duties hereunder; and

            (v)  the   Escrow   Agent   may   execute   any  of  its   power  or

            directly  or  by  or  through  agents  or  attorneys  selected  with
            reasonable care. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to impose
            upon the Escrow  Agent any duty to qualify to do  business or act as
            fiduciary or otherwise in any  jurisdiction  other than the State of
            New York and the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for and shall
            not be  under a duty to  examine  into or pass  upon  the  validity,
            binding effect, execution or sufficiency of this Agreement or of any
            agreement amendatory or supplemental hereto.

      3.2 COOPERATION.  FIND and each of the  Stockholders  shall provide to the

      3.3  INDEMNITY.  Friedland  and La Terra and FIND  jointly  and  severally
indemnify the Escrow Agent for and against any loss,  damages,  cost or expense,
including but not limited to reasonable  attorneys' fees, reasonably incurred by
the Escrow Agent in connection with the Escrow Agent's performance of its duties
and  obligations  under this  Agreement,  as well as the  reasonable,  costs and
expenses of defending against any claim or liability  relating to this Agreement
("ESCROW AGENT INDEMNIFICATION"); provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall
not be entitled to indemnification for any such loss, liability, cost or expense
arising  as  a  result  of  the  Escrow  Agent's  willful  misconduct  or  gross
negligence;  provided,  further,  that Friedland and La Terra, in the aggregate,
shall in no event  be  responsible  for more  than  fifty  percent  (50%) of the
liability  resulting from any matter for which Escrow Agent  Indemnification  is
sought.  The Escrow  Agent  shall not be entitled  to  indemnification  from the
Escrow Account for any Escrow Agent  Indemnification.  The Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to charge its usual routine and  customary  legal fees, if any, for its
services hereunder, which shall be the responsibility of FIND.

      3.4 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE ESCROW AGENT.  (a) The Escrow Agent may
resign as such thirty (30) calendar  days  following the giving of prior written
notice  thereof to each of the  Stockholders  and FIND. In addition,  the Escrow
Agent may be removed and replaced on a date  designated in a written  instrument
signed by each of the  Stockholders  and FIND and delivered to the Escrow Agent.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  no removal shall be effective until a successor
escrow agent has  acknowledged  its appointment as such as provided in paragraph
(c) below.  Upon the effective date of such  resignation or removal,  the Escrow
Agent shall deliver the Exchange Cash, the Escrow Shares and any remaining Stock
Powers  to the  successor  escrow  agent,  if any,  or if  none,  to a court  of
competent  jurisdiction,  together  with such records  maintained  by the Escrow
Agent in connection with its duties hereunder and other information with respect
to the  Exchange  Cash,  the  Escrow  Shares  and the  Stock  Powers as any such
successor may reasonably request.

      (b)  If  a  successor  escrow  agent  shall  not  have   acknowledged  its
appointment  as such as  provided  in  paragraph  (c)  below,  in the  case of a
resignation,  prior to the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days following the
date of a  notice  of  resignation  or,  in the case of a  removal,  on the date
designated  for the Escrow Agent's  removal,  as the case may be because each of
the  Stockholders  and FIND are unable to agree on a successor  escrow agent, or
for any other reason,  the Escrow Agent may select a successor  escrow agent and
any such resulting  appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties to this
Agreement.

      (c) Upon written  acknowledgment  by a successor escrow agent appointed in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4 of its agreement to
serve as escrow agent  hereunder  and the receipt of the Exchange  Cash,  Escrow
Shares and any remaining Stock Powers,  the Escrow Agent shall be fully released
and relieved of all duties,  responsibilities  and  obligations  after such date
under this Agreement, subject to the proviso contained in clause (ii) of Section
3.1, and such successor escrow agent shall for all purposes hereof be the Escrow
Agent.

      3.5 NOTIFICATION OF RECEIPTS;  DELIVERIES AND  DISBURSEMENTS BY THE ESCROW
AGENT.  As promptly as  practicable  after  receipt by the Escrow  Agent of each
delivery of funds, certificates, instruments or other documents from a party and
as promptly as practicable after delivery of funds, certificates, instruments or
other  documents by the Escrow  Agent to a party,  the Escrow Agent shall inform
all the parties in writing of such deposit, disbursement or delivery.

parties hereby waive any claim of conflict of interest  against the Escrow Agent

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

      THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("this Agreement") is made effective as of the
1ST day of April, 2003 (the "Effective Date") by and between GUIDELINE RESEARCH
CORP., a New York corporation with offices at 3 West 35th Street, New York, New
York 10001 (the "Company") and a subsidiary of FIND/SVP, INC., a New York
corporation ("FIND"), and JAY L. FRIEDLAND, an individual residing at 425 East
58th Street, New York, New York 10022 (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 April 1, 2003, by and among the Company, FIND, Robert La
Terra 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:

      ss.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
Chairman of the Board 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 Chairman of the Board as
shall reasonably be determined by the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of FIND
from time to time. In addition, Executive shall, to the extent appropriate,
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 CEO 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
Chairman of the Board. 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 or the CEO 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.
<PAGE>

      ss.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 second (2nd) 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.

      ss.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 Chairman of the
Board, by the CEO 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 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 the first two years of the
Employment Period, shall remain at 3 West 35th Street, New York, New York;
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. Notwithstanding the proviso set forth in the preceding sentence, the
CEO of FIND shall give Executive advance verbal notice of any required travel to
the extent that such travel is reasonably foreseeable, and such travel
requirements shall be at reasonable frequencies and for reasonable duration
taking into account the nature of the business of the Company and its past
practice. Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the CEO 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 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 of
FIND pursuant to the preceding sentence may be limited from time to time or
revoked by the CEO of FIND. 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 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

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

which is or becomes made publicly available by the Consolidated Companies, FIND
or its Affiliates or is or has been rightfully obtained by the Executive from
persons other than the Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates where such
persons are under no obligation of trust or confidence to the Consolidated
Companies, 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 counsel for the Company advises in writing he is required to
disclose.

            (b) COMPETITIVE RESTRICTIONS. During the Employment Period and
during the two (2) year period that begins on termination of the Employment
Period, the Executive shall not, whether for his account or for the account of
any other party other than the Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates

Period but prior to the expiration of the one (1) year period that begins on
termination of the Employment Period; (ii) with respect to any business reason
other than in connection with the Business or Purchaser's Business, calling on,
soliciting, taking away, or accepting as a client or customer or attempting to

was a client or customer of the Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates
during the Employment Period or known by the Executive to be a customer of the
Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates before or after the Employment
Period but prior to the expiration of the one (1) year period that begins on
termination of the Employment Period without the prior written consent of the
CEO of the Purchaser in each instance, which consent will not be unreasonably
delayed or withheld; (iii) soliciting, taking away or attempting to solicit or
take away, employ or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor or
otherwise, any person who is an employee of the Consolidated Companies, FIND or
its Affiliates or was an employee of the Consolidated Companies, FIND or its
Affiliates during the Employment Period, on behalf of any individual, person,

business which is substantially similar to the Business or Purchaser's Business;
(iv) inducing or attempting to induce any employee of the Consolidated
Companies, FIND or its Affiliates to terminate employment with the Consolidated

any way with the business engaged in or reasonably planned to be engaged in by
the Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates at the time of the
termination of the Executive's employment hereunder. For purposes of this
Section 4(b), the words "directly or indirectly" as they modify the word
"compete" shall mean (i) acting as an agent, representative, consultant,
officer, director, manager, independent contractor or employee of any
individual, person, partnership, corporation, association, limited liability
corporation, limited liability partnership or other entity or enterprise which
competes with the Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates, the Business
or Purchaser's Business, (ii) participating in any such competing entity or
enterprise as an owner, member, partner, limited partner, joint venturer,

the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); and (iii) communicating to
any such competing entity or enterprise the names or addresses or any other
information concerning any past, present or identified prospective client or
customer.

            (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 Consolidated Companies', FIND's or FIND's 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 Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates. At any time during or after
the Employment Period, the Executive shall not make public statements which may
negatively impact any of the Consolidated Companies, FIND or its 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 Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates. For purposes of this
Section 4(c), "interfere" shall mean intentional or grossly negligent acts or
conduct that is reasonably likely to hamper, hinder or disturb the relationships
between the Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates and any applicable
party.

            (d) EMPLOYMENT BY CUSTOMERS AFTER THE EMPLOYMENT PERIOD. The parties
acknowledge and agree that employment of Executive by a current or former
customer or client of the Consolidated Companies, FIND or its Affiliates (a
"Restricted Customer") after the Employment Period will not, in and of itself,
result in a breach of this Agreement, provided that, Executive does not conduct
any work for such customer or client, except as may be allowed pursuant to
Section 4(d)(ii) hereof, in any field relating to market research and analysis
or market data collection ("Market Research") and further provided that all of
the following conditions are met:

            (i)   Executive's employment with a Restricted Customer is not, at
                  the time of the commencement of such employment, reasonably
                  likely to negatively impact the Consolidated Companies',
                  FIND's or any of its Affiliates' relationship with such
                  Restricted Customer, including its business with such
                  Restricted Customer;

            (ii)  Executive's Market Research activities relate only to the
                  internal requirements of such Restricted Customer, and are not
                  provided in

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  connection with a Restricted Customer's sale of Market
                  Research to third parties;

            (iii) The Consolidated Companies, FIND's and any of its Affiliates'
                  aggregate sales to such Restricted Customer and its Affiliates
                  were less than $250,000 during the last twelve months of the
                  Employment Period, unless the Company and the CEO of FIND
                  shall have waived such requirement in writing;

            (iv)  Executive provides such Restricted Customer with a written
                  copy of this Section 4 of the Agreement in its entirety, and
                  such Restricted Customer acknowledges to Company receipt
                  thereof in writing prior to Executive's employment with such
                  Restricted Customer; and

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

            (e) INVENTIONS, ETC. Executive will promptly disclose to the Company
and the CEO of FIND all designs, processes, inventions, improvements,
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.

            (f) 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 Consolidated Companies, FIND and FIND's 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 Consolidated
Companies and FIND and its 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 Consolidated Companies
and FIND and its Affiliates and will not restrict Executive from earning a
livelihood.

            (g) FAILURE TO MAKE PAYMENTS. In the event that either (i) the
Company fails to make payments to the Executive required under the terms of this
Agreement or (ii) FIND fails to make payments to the Executive required under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement (other than a failure of FIND to fulfill its
obligations to repurchase the Consideration Shares pursuant to Section 2.6 of
the Purchase Agreement so long as David Walke purchases or arranges for the
purchase of the Exercised Shares in accordance with Section 2.6 thereof and such
Consideration Shares are so repurchased), in either case which failure continues
for more than twenty (20)

                                       6
<PAGE>

business days after written notice thereof to the CEO of FIND (except that if
two such prior notices have been received by the CEO of FIND within the past
twelve month period, no further notice shall be required) and either (a)
Executive terminates this Agreement for Good Reason or (b) the Board of
Directors of the Company terminates this Agreement other than For Cause, the
restrictions imposed by Sections 4(a), 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d) hereof shall no
longer be in force or effect; provided, that in the event that the Executive,
the Company or FIND shall have a dispute as to whether such termination was
effected (a) other than "For Cause" or (b) for "Good Reason", as the case may
be, if the Company and/or FIND pays to the Escrow Agent when due such amounts as
may be due to Executive on the assumption that such termination was effected (a)
other than For Cause or (b) for Good Reason under this Agreement (which amounts
shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in an interest bearing account or IOLA
account, subject to the final determination of an arbitrator or court pursuant
to the terms of Section 13 of this Agreement), the restrictions imposed by
Section 4 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the
final determination of an arbitrator or order of a court pursuant to the terms
of Section 13 of this Agreement. Any party or parties awarded a final
determination or order in their favor by an arbitrator or court pursuant to
Section 4 hereof shall be entitled to recover from the party or parties against
whom such final determination or order is given all reasonable costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party
or parties with respect to such arbitration or court proceeding, such award of
costs and expenses to be determined by such arbitrator or court.

            (h) 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 Consolidated Companies,
FIND and FIND's Affiliates irreparable injury and damage. By reason thereof, the
Executive hereby agrees that the Consolidated Companies, FIND and FIND's
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 Consolidated
Companies, FIND and FIND's Affiliates shall be required to post bond in
connection with seeking any such equitable remedies.

      ss.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 One Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) per year, 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

                                       7
<PAGE>

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.

            (b) OMG BONUS PROGRAM. In addition to the Salary and benefits
provided hereunder, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the OMG bonus
incentive plan pursuant to the terms thereof, as may be amended from time to
time.

            (c) EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT. The Company shall reimburse the Executive
for ordinary, necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by him in the
performance of the Executive's duties hereunder substantiated with proper
invoices, receipts, or other supporting documentation, including expenses of
travel, lodging and sustenance while away from home on business of the Company,
provided that such expenses are incurred and accounted for in accordance with
the reasonable policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of
the Company and the CEO of FIND from time to time. Executive shall file expense
reports with respect to such expenses. Except such expenses that will be
reimbursed by a client or customer of the Consolidated Companies, Executive
shall not incur expenses in excess of $3,000 in connection with (i) a business
trip or (ii) any other individual or series of related personal expenditures
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, he and his family will be
provided 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) OTHER FRINGE BENEFITS. Executive shall be entitled to an
aggregate maximum of fringe and other benefits equaling up to $37,500 per year
on a cost basis to the Company and FIND (the "Benefit Maximum Amount"),
excluding all benefits provided to him and his family under Section 5(d) hereof.
The Benefit Maximum Amount may be expended on benefits (other than additional
vacation time) as he shall reasonably request, including, without limitation,
life, medical and disability insurance of his choosing, and one leased
automobile of his choosing and insurance, parking and maintenance therefor. To
the extent that Executive does not ask for or receive the Benefit Maximum
Amount, within forty-five (45) days following the end of such year, the Company
shall pay to Executive the difference between Benefit Maximum Amount and the
amount actually expended on such benefits. To the extent that Executive receives
benefits equaling more than the Benefit Maximum Amount, Executive shall promptly
reimburse the Company for all such amounts exceeding the Benefit Maximum Amount,
which amounts the Company may setoff against any amounts it owes to Executive
hereunder or otherwise.

            (f) VACATIONS. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to vacation in accordance with the Company's established accrual and
other vacation

                                       8
<PAGE>

policies for executive employees (which are subject to change from time to time
and provided that in no event shall such vacation time accrue at less than five
(5) weeks per annum). Executive and the Company acknowledge that on the date
hereof Executive has accrued thirteen (13) vacation days, which are in addition
to the vacation time set forth above. The Executive shall also be entitled to
all paid holidays afforded by the Company to its employees. 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.

            (g) STOCK OPTIONS. Pursuant to the terms of the FIND/SVP, INC. Stock
Incentive Plan of 1996, as amended, 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 100,000 shares of Common Stock of FIND (the
"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(g) hereof. 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.

            (h) 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. In addition, Executive's salary shall be reduced by the annual and
other expenses of the Letter of Credit provided to him on behalf of David Walke
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Company shall pay over such amounts
to David Walke when incurred.

      ss.6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

            (a) FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment
and all of the Company's obligations hereunder 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 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

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 twenty (20)
business days preceding termination of this

                                       9
<PAGE>

Agreement, 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, psychological disability or other infirmity pursuant to the
criteria set forth on SCHEDULE 6(a) hereto, the Executive does not fulfill his
duties hereunder on a full-time basis for either sixty (60) consecutive days or

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 twenty (20) business 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 briefly 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 any act or omission on the part of the
Company which constitutes a material breach of this Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement, unless the Company ceases, corrects and cures all adverse effects of
such breach within the 20 business 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 within forty (40) days thereafter.

            (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

set off except for tax, social security or other mandated withholdings, the
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

            (II) If the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated

Executive), or (b) by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall (i)
continue to be provided salary and those benefits specified hereunder for the
time specified hereunder and, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law,

Executive's employment is terminated after the one year anniversary of the
Effective Date, an amount that would be payable as the Executive's portion of
the Two Year Deferred Consideration Amount based on the Two-Year Adjusted EBITDA
equaling twice the annualized Adjusted EBITDA of the Company for the period
commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date of the termination of
Executive's employment. For purposes of this Section 6(d)(II), "Adjusted EBITDA"
shall mean the gross profit of each Valid Market Research Project of the
Consolidated Companies for the applicable fiscal year calculated in accordance
with GAAP and consistent with historical practices, less the sum of, to the
extent not already deducted in calculating such gross profit:(a) $4,100,000.00,
inclusive of labor costs historically included by the Consolidated Companies in
the "Selling, General and Administrative" expense category in their financial
statements; (b) to the extent not already deducted in calculating EBITDA, three
percent (3%) of the sales of the Consolidated Companies, such sales to be
determined in accordance with GAAP; and (c) to the extent not already deducted
in calculating EBITDA, ten percent (10%) of sales of the Consolidated Companies
that are sourced by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (other than the Consolidated
Companies), such sales to mean sales determined in accordance with GAAP less
pass through costs charged to customers.

            (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 Board of Directors of the Company 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.

Agreement by the Executive. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Executive
for all loss, damage, deficiency, liability, cost and expense (including,
without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation and reasonable attorneys'
fees) which may be incurred, suffered, or sustained by the Executive as a result
of a breach of this Agreement by the Company and to indemnify the Executive in
his position as an officer and director of the Company to the full extent of the
law.

            (b) COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT. In the event that either party brings an
action or arbitration proceeding 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 or award of arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the party
or parties against whom the order or award is given or the judgment or award is
entered all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred
by the prevailing party or parties with respect to such action or proceeding,
such award of costs and expenses to be determined by the Court or the
arbitrators, as the case may be.

      ss.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.

      ss.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,

                                       12

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.

      ss.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.

      ss.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.

      ss.12. NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided in
connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed

      ss.13. ARBITRATION. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to the
choice of law principles thereof. Except in the event of the need for immediate
equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable
harm pending arbitration relief, and except for enforcement of a party's
remedies to the extent such enforcement must be pursuant to court authorization
or order under applicable law, any dispute between the parties hereto or under
any other document, instrument or writing executed pursuant to this Agreement
shall be settled, by arbitration before three arbitrators pursuant to the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the
"Rules") in New York, New York or such other location as may be agreed upon by
the parties. For purposes of this Agreement, the parties consent to jurisdiction
in New York for any arbitration proceeding or any action to enforce an
arbitration award. The arbitrators shall be selected by a joint agreement of the
parties; provided that if they do not so agree within twenty (20) business days
of the date of the request for arbitration, the selection shall be made pursuant
to the Rules. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the parties hereto from
settling any dispute by mutual agreement at any time. Any party or parties
awarded a final determination or order in their favor by an arbitrator or court
pursuant to this Section 13 shall be entitled to recover from the party or
parties against whom such final determination or order is given all reasonable
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the
prevailing party or parties with respect to such arbitration or court
proceeding, such award of costs and expenses to be determined by such arbitrator
or court.

in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original
copy of this Agreement and of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of
a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, provided, however, that in
each instance an original executed counterpart shall be promptly delivered to
the other party by hand or overnight courier.

      ss.15. SURVIVAL. The provisions of Sections 4, 6(d), 6(e) and 7 shall
