                       RETIREMENT/PRE-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

(1) The Company agrees that each Participant may terminate his Service because
of Retirement upon the first day of the month following his 65th birthday, or

(2) Upon the date of a Participant's Retirement, such Participant shall elect
to:

     (i)  Retire and immediately receive benefits due; or

     (ii) Continue his employment and defer benefits which will accrue interest
          at the actual interest rate credited by the insurer.

     Upon electing to receive benefits, the Participant shall receive 120 equal
monthly installments in an aggregate amount equal to the Grossed-Up Cash Value
of the Policy as of the date of Retirement, plus the projected Grossed-Up Cash

set forth on Schedule B, such amount to be payable in 120 monthly equal
installments to commence as soon as practicable following the Participant's
death.

          (b) Lump Sum Insurance Benefit Election. If the Participant elects the
lump sum benefit on the Participation Agreement and dies prior to termination of
his Service to the Company or Retirement, the Company shall promptly take any
action necessary to cause the death benefit provided under the Policy of life
insurance purchased by the Company hereunder on that Participant's life to be
paid. The amount of death benefit so payable to the Beneficiary shall be the
amount provided in Schedule B as a Pre-Retirement insurance death benefit. The
balance payable under the Policy shall be retained by the Company.


                                        3



(5) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the Participant shall be
entitled to the full amount which he would have been entitled to receive
hereunder if he were rendering Service to the Company on the Retirement Date, as
set forth in Section (2) of this Article II (or his Beneficiary shall be
entitled to the full amount set forth in Section (4) of this Article II as a
Survivor Income Benefit or as a Lump Sum Insurance Benefit in the event of the
death of a Participant prior to the Retirement Date) at such time as the
Company, its business or substantially all of its assets is sold, or acquired by
merger, consolidation or otherwise.

(6) Estimated Retirement Benefits and the Policy and Pre-Retirement death
benefits are set forth in Schedule B attached.

(7) Each Participant shall cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all
information requested by the Company in order to facilitate the payment of
benefits hereunder, taking such physical examination as the Company may deem
necessary and taking such other relevant action as may be requested by the
Company. If a Participant refuses to cooperate, the Company shall have no
further obligation to the Participant under the Plan.

(8) For purposes of this Plan, a Participant or his Beneficiary shall have an
absolute right as an unsecured general creditor of the Company to payment of all
amounts and benefits including but not limited to Pre-Retirement Benefits.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                 RETIREMENT DATE

The Company agrees that the Participant may terminate his Service because of
Retirement upon the earlier of (i) the first day of the month following his 65th
birthday, or (ii) upon such later date as may be acceptable to the Company.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                            DEATH PRIOR TO RETIREMENT

If the participant dies prior to termination of his Service to the Company or
his Retirement Date, the Company will pay to his Beneficiary the amount provided
in Section (4) of Article II.

                                    ARTICLE V
                             DEATH AFTER RETIREMENT

have been payable after Retirement, under the terms of Article II, Section (2).


                                        4



                                   ARTICLE VI
                                   DISABILITY

If the Participant becomes disabled prior to Retirement, on the basis of any
standard established by the Board of Directors, and prior to termination of his
Service, the Company shall incur no obligation to commence benefit payments
immediately. In such event, the Company's obligation to pay benefits hereunder
will begin at Participant's reaching age 65. In the event of death of a disabled
Participant after commencement of retirement payments, the provisions of Article
V will apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a disabled Participant
dies prior to Retirement, then the provisions of Article IV shall apply as
though at the time he died he was serving as a Participant who died prior to
Retirement.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                  NO GUARANTEE OF AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company does not guarantee the payment of the amount of projected retirement
benefits reflected on Schedule B, but does agree to pay an amount equal to the
Grossed-Up Cash Value as of the date of Retirement, or, in the event the
Participant elects 120 monthly payments under Article II, Section (2), the
projected Grossed-Up Cash Value increase over the next nine consecutive Policy
Years after the date of Retirement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                             TERMINATION OF SERVICES

If the Company terminates the Service of the Participant, or if the Participant
terminates his Service prior to reaching Retirement Age, the Company's
obligation to the Participant shall remain in full force and effect. The Company
shall pay the Participant or his Beneficiary the termination benefits set forth
in Section (3) of Article II.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                   ASSIGNMENT

It is agreed that neither the Participant nor his Spouse nor any Beneficiary
shall have any right to convey, sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise convey the
right to receive any payments hereunder, which payments and rights thereto are
expressly declared to be nonassignable and nontransferable.

                                    ARTICLE X
                              RETENTION OF SERVICES

The benefits payable under this Agreement shall be independent of, and in
addition to, any other arrangement that may exist from time to time between the
parties hereto, or any other


                                        5



compensation payable by the Company to the Participant. This Agreement shall not
be deemed to constitute an employment contract between the parties hereto, nor
shall any provision hereof restrict the right of the Company to terminate the
Service of the Participant, or restrict the right of the Participant to
terminate his Service to the Company.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                              RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANT

The rights of the Participant under this Agreement and of any Beneficiary of the
Participant shall be solely those of an unsecured creditor of the Company. Any
Policy or any other asset acquired or hold by the Company in connection with the
liabilities assumed by it hereunder shall not be deemed to be held under any
trust for the benefit of the Participant or his Beneficiary or to be a security
for the performance of the obligations of the Company, but shall be, and remain,
a general, unpledged, unrestricted asset of the Company.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                        OWNERSHIP OF INSURANCE CONTRACTS

The Company shall be the sole owner of any insurance contract or contracts
acquired on the life of a Participant, with incidents of ownership therein,
including, but not limited to, the right to cash and loan values, dividends, if
any, death benefits, and the right to termination thereof. The Participant shall
have the right to name on the Participation Agreement a Beneficiary for the
amount of the Pre-Retirement Death Benefit described herein.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                 REORGANIZATION

The Company agrees that it will not merge or consolidate with any other
corporation or organization, or permit its business activities to be taken over
by another organization, unless and until the succeeding or continuing
corporation or other organization shall expressly assume the rights and
obligations of the Company herein set forth and as amended from time to time.
The Company further agrees that it will not cease business activities or
terminate its existence, other than as heretofore set forth in this paragraph,
without having made adequate provision for the fulfilling of its obligations
hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                                   AMENDMENTS

This Plan may be revoked or be amended in whole or in part by a written
agreement signed by the Company and Participants.

                     SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

This Amendment No. 2 to the National Dentex Corporation Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (as amended hereby, the "Plan") is dated as of the 17th day of
January, 2006, is adopted by National Dentex Corporation, a Massachusetts
corporation (the "Company"), and is binding upon the Company and the
Participants. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 and not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

     WHEREAS, the Plan was first effective as of April 4, 1995; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires that the Plan continue to serve as an
incentive for its officers and other key employees to continue their Service
beyond the attainment of age 65, if the Company and such employees mutually
agree to such continuation; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Participants now desire to amend certain
provisions of the Plan in order to clarify the benefits payable under the Plan
upon the death of a Participant who, with the consent of the Company, continues
in Service after attaining age 65; and

     WHEREAS, Article XIV of the Plan provides that it may be amended by a
written agreement signed by the Company and the Participants; and

     WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board"), upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board,
has approved and adopted this Amendment No. 2; and

     WHEREAS, each of the Participants has adopted this Amendment No. 2 by
executing and delivering to the Company an adoption agreement in substantially
the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

     1. AMENDMENT TO DEATH BENEFIT IN CASE OF DEFERRED RETIREMENT. Article IV of
the Plan is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

     "If the Participant dies prior to termination of his Service to the Company
     and prior to the attainment of age 65, the Company will pay to his
     Beneficiary the amount provided in



     Section (4) of Article II. Should the Participant elect to defer retirement
     and continue to work after age 65, he shall have the option of continuing
     the pre-retirement death benefit provided for in Section (4) of Article II
     or electing to have his beneficiary receive, upon his death, the payments
     that would otherwise have been payable to the Participant after Retirement
     in accordance with Section (2) of Article II, payable in installments or a
     lump sum as elected by such Beneficiary in accordance with such Section
     (2). Upon his retirement only the payments in accordance with Section (2)
     of Article II, payable in installments or a lump sum as elected by such
     Beneficiary in accordance with Section (2) shall be applicable."

     2. REMAINDER OF PLAN UNAFFECTED. In all other respects, the provisions of
the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment No. 2 to the Plan
to be signed its corporate name by its duly authorized officer.

of the Policy as of the date of Retirement, plus the projected Grossed-Up Cash

his Service to the Company or Retirement, the Company shall promptly take any
action necessary to cause the death benefit provided under the Policy of life
insurance purchased by the Company hereunder on that


                                        3

insurance death benefit. The balance payable under the Policy shall be retained

(6) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the Participant shall be
entitled to the full amount which he would have been entitled to receive
hereunder if he were rendering Service to the Company on the Retirement Date, as
set forth in Section (2) of this Article II (or his Beneficiary shall be
entitled to the full amount set forth in Section (5) of this Article II as a
Survivor Income Benefit or as a Lump Sum Insurance Benefit in the event of the
death of a Participant prior to the Retirement Date) at such time as the

necessary and taking such other relevant action as may be requested by the
Company. If a Participant refuses to cooperate, the Company shall have no
further obligation to the Participant under the Plan.

(9) For purposes of this Plan, a Participant or his Beneficiary shall have an
absolute right as an unsecured general creditor of the Company to payment of all
amounts and benefits including but not limited to Pre-Retirement Benefits.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                 RETIREMENT DATE

The Company agrees that the Participant may terminate his Service because of
Retirement upon the earlier of (i) the first day of the month following his 65th
birthday, or (ii) upon such later date as may be acceptable to the Company.

                            DEATH PRIOR TO RETIREMENT

If the participant dies prior to termination of his Service to the Company or
his Retirement Date, the Company will pay to his Beneficiary the amount provided
in Section (5) of Article II.

                                    ARTICLE V
                             DEATH AFTER RETIREMENT


                                        4

If the Participant becomes disabled prior to Retirement, on the basis of any
standard established by the Board of Directors, and prior to termination of his
Service, the Company shall incur no obligation to commence benefit payments
immediately. In such event, the Company's obligation to pay benefits hereunder
will begin at Participant's reaching age 65. In the event of death of a disabled
Participant after commencement of retirement payments, the provisions of Article
V will apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a disabled Participant
dies prior to Retirement, then the provisions of Article IV shall apply as
though at the time he died he was serving as a Participant who died prior to
Retirement.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                  NO GUARANTEE OF AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS

benefits reflected on Schedule B, but does agree to pay an amount equal to the
Grossed-Up Cash Value as of the date of Retirement, or, in the event the
Participant elects 120 monthly payments under Article II, Section (2), the
projected Grossed-Up Cash Value increase over the next nine consecutive Policy
Years after the date of Retirement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                             TERMINATION OF SERVICES

If the Company terminates the Service of the Participant, or if the Participant
terminates his Service prior to ten (10) years from the date hereof, any Company
obligation to the Participant shall cease. If the Company terminates the Service
of the Participant, or if the Participant terminates his Service after ten (10)
years from the date hereof, the Company shall pay the Participant or his
Beneficiary the termination benefits set forth in Section (4) of Article II.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                   ASSIGNMENT

It is agreed that neither the Participant nor his Spouse nor any Beneficiary
shall have any right to convey, sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise convey the
right to receive any payments hereunder, which payments and rights thereto are
expressly declared to be nonassignable and nontransferable.

addition to, any other arrangement that may exist from time to time between the
parties hereto, or any other compensation payable by the Company to the
Participant. This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an employment
contract between the parties hereto, nor shall any provision hereof restrict the
right of the Company to terminate the Service of the Participant, or restrict
the right of the Participant to terminate his Service to the Company.

The rights of the Participant under this Agreement and of any Beneficiary of the
Participant shall be solely those of an unsecured creditor of the Company. Any
Policy or any other asset acquired or held by the Company in connection with the
liabilities assumed by it hereunder shall not be deemed to be held under any
trust for the benefit of the Participant or his Beneficiary or to be a security
for the performance of the obligations of the Company, but shall be, and remain,
a general, unpledged, unrestricted asset of the Company.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                        OWNERSHIP OF INSURANCE CONTRACTS

The Company shall be the sole owner of any insurance contract or contracts
acquired on the life of a Participant, with incidents of ownership therein,
including, but not limited to, the right to cash and loan values, dividends, if
any, death benefits, and the right to termination thereof. The Participant shall
have the right to name on the Participation Agreement a Beneficiary for the
amount of the Pre-Retirement Death Benefit described herein.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                 REORGANIZATION

The Company agrees that it will not merge or consolidate with any other
corporation or organization, or permit its business activities to be taken over
by another organization, unless and until the succeeding or continuing
corporation or other organization shall expressly assume the rights and
obligations of the Company herein set forth and as amended from time to time.
The Company further agrees that it will not cease business activities or
terminate its existence, other than as heretofore set forth in this paragraph,
without having made adequate provision for the fulfilling of its obligations
hereunder.

                SUPPLEMENTAL LABORATORY EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

This Amendment No. 1 to the National Dentex Corporation Supplemental Laboratory
Executive Retirement Plan (as amended hereby, the "Plan") is dated as of the
17th day of January, 2006, is adopted by National Dentex Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation (the "Company"), and is binding upon the Company and
the Participants. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 and not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

     WHEREAS, the Plan was first effective as of January 1, 1996; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires that the Plan continue to serve as an
incentive for the Participants to continue their Service beyond the attainment
of age 65, if the Company and such employees mutually agree to such
continuation; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Participants now desire to amend certain
provisions of the Plan in order to clarify the benefits payable under the Plan
upon the death of a Participant who, with the consent of the Company, continues
in Service after attaining age 65; and

     WHEREAS, Article XIV of the Plan provides that it may be amended by a
written agreement signed by the Company and the Participants; and

     WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board"), upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board,
has approved and adopted this Amendment No. 1; and

     WHEREAS, each of the Participants has adopted this Amendment No. 1 by
executing and delivering to the Company an adoption agreement in substantially
the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

     1. AMENDMENT TO DEATH BENEFIT IN CASE OF DEFERRED RETIREMENT. Article IV of
the Plan is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:



     "If the Participant dies prior to termination of his Service to the Company
     and prior to the attainment of age 65, the Company will pay to his
     Beneficiary the amount provided in Section (5) of Article II. Should the
     Participant elect to defer retirement and continue to work after age 65, he
     shall have the option of continuing the pre-retirement death benefit
     provided for in Section (5) of Article II or electing to have his
     beneficiary receive, upon his death, the payments that would otherwise have
     been payable to the Participant after Retirement in accordance with Section
     (2) of Article II, payable in installments or a lump sum as elected by such
     Beneficiary in accordance with such Section (2). Upon his retirement only
     the payments in accordance with Section (2) of Article II, payable in
     installments or a lump sum as elected by such Beneficiary in accordance
     with Section (2) shall be applicable."

     2. REMAINDER OF PLAN UNAFFECTED. In all other respects, the provisions of
the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment No. 1 to the Plan
to be signed its corporate name by its duly authorized officer.
