This does not work.....
find . -type d -exec echo {}/FILENAME \;
will print a "{}/FILENAME" for each directory.
See:

-exec utility_name [argument ...] ;
-exec utility_name [argument ...] {} +
The end of the primary expression shall be punctuated by a semicolon or
by a plus sign. Only a plus sign that
follows an argument containing the two characters "{}" shall punctuate
the end of the primary expression.
Other uses of the plus sign shall not be treated as special.
If the primary expression is punctuated by a semicolon, the utility
utility_name shall be invoked once for each
pathname and the primary shall evaluate as true if the utility returns
a zero value as exit status. A
utility_name or argument containing only the two characters "{}" shall
be replaced by the current
pathname.
