                              Employment Agreement
                                     between
                   X-Rite, Incorporated and Michael C. Ferrara

This Amendment No. 1 is entered into this third day of October, 2005, to amend
certain provisions of the Employment Agreement, dated September 30, 2003 (the
"Employment Agreement"), between X-Rite, Incorporated ("X-Rite") and Michael C.
Ferrara ("Executive"). Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, the
Employment Agreement remains unchanged and in full force and effect.

X-Rite and Executive hereby agree that the Employment Agreement is amended as
follows:

1.   Section 2 of the Employment Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as
     follows:

          2. Term of Agreement. The "initial term" of this Agreement shall
     commence September 30, 2003, and extend through December 31, 2007. The term
     of this Agreement shall be, without further action, extended for a one-year
     period commencing on January 1, 2008 and extending through December 31,
     2008. The term of this Agreement may be further extended under the terms of
     Section 6 of this Agreement, unless terminated pursuant to Section 7 of
     this Agreement. For purposes of Section 8.b., Executive's retirement on or
     after December 31, 2008 will be retirement with the consent of the Board of
     Directors of X-Rite.

2.   Section 3(h) of the Employment Agreement is amended to read in its entirety
     as follows:

          h. Restricted Stock. Executive will be entitled to an award of ten
     thousand (10,000) shares on December 31, 2003, and annually on each
     anniversary of such date under the X-Rite Second Restricted Stock Plan,
     provided that Executive remains in the employ of X-Rite under this
     Agreement on such anniversary date. All restricted shares awarded under the
     Second Restricted Stock Plan during the initial term of this Agreement
     shall vest on December 31, 2006, provided, Executive remains in the employ
     of X-Rite on such date, and all restricted shares awarded during any other
     year during the term of this Agreement shall vest on the one (1) year
     anniversary of the grant of such restricted shares; provided Executive
     remains in the employ of X-Rite on the relevant vesting date. All such
     restricted shares granted hereunder will be subject to all terms and
     conditions of the X-Rite Second Restricted Stock Plan. The Second
     Restricted Stock Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

3.   Section 3 of the Employment Agreement is amended to add a subsection 3.i.
     which reads in its entirety as follows:

          i. Financial Planning. Executive will be entitled to reimbursement by
     the Company for expenses incurred for financial/retirement planning
     services; provided that said amount of the reimbursement will not exceed
     $3,000 in 2005 and an additional $5,000 in aggregate thereafter.

4.   Section 6 of the Employment Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as
     follows:

          6. Renewal. At the end of the one-year extension period provided in
     Section 2 of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall be
     automatically extended for up to two (2) periods of one (1) year each
     (commencing at the end of the previous one-year extension period) unless
     either X-Rite or Executive shall notify the other in writing no later than
     ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then current period that it or he
     does not choose to extend the term of this Agreement.

5.   Section 7(e) of the Employment Agreement is amended to read in its entirety
     as follows:

          e. Termination by Notice. X-Rite and Executive shall each have the
     right to terminate their employment relationship prior to the expiration of
     the then current term for reasons other than those provided above in this
     Section 7 by giving written notice to the other party specifying the date
     of termination. If X-Rite terminates this Agreement pursuant to this
     Section 7(e), X-Rite shall have the obligations set forth in Section 8(b).

6.   Section 8(d) of the Employment Agreement is amended to read in its entirety
     as follows:

<PAGE>

          d. Description of Severance Pay and Benefits. Severance pay shall be
     the monthly severance payments equal to Executive's monthly salary for the
     last full month immediately preceding the termination of his employment,

                       SPECIAL POST-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH PLAN

X-Rite, Incorporated (the "Company"), by execution of this document, adopts the
X-Rite, Incorporated Michael C. Ferrara Special Post-Employment Health Plan (the
"Plan"). The purpose of this Plan is to provide certain medical, dental and
prescription drug benefits to Michael C. Ferrara (the "Covered Person")
following his employment with the Company that are comparable to those provided
to the Company's executive employees. Benefits will be provided under the
following terms:

     1. The Company will continue to provide health benefit coverage, as
provided herein, to the Covered Person for a period of 7 years from the
effective date of termination of the Covered Person's employment by the Company
provided that such termination date is on or after December 31, 2008, except if
said termination date is prior to December 31, 2008, as a result of the
Company's election to terminate pursuant to Section 7(b) or 7(e) of the
September 30, 2003 Employment Agreement as amended or the Covered Person's
election to terminate pursuant to Section 7(d) thereof, in which event, the
Company will be obligated to provide benefits to the Covered Person hereunder
until December 31, 2015. All such benefits will be secondary to Medicare
benefits. In the event that the Covered Person is entitled to medical and dental
benefits during any post-employment period pursuant to the Employment Agreement,
dated September 30, 2003, between the Company and the Covered Person, such
benefits shall satisfy the Company's obligations under the Plan for such period.

     2. The Company will provide continuation coverage to the Covered Person
under all group health plans of the Company as required by the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). The Company will pay the Covered
Person sufficient compensation (grossed up for the applicable tax cost to the
Covered Person) to cover the COBRA premium for the duration of the required
COBRA benefits. The benefit during this period will be provided from the Health
Benefit Plan for X-Rite, Incorporated, a self-insured health care plan under the
X-Rite, Incorporated Group Life and Health Plan. The Covered Person must, to the
extent he is able to do so, enroll for Medicare Parts A and B before electing
COBRA coverage as a condition for receipt of these benefits.

     3. For any period subsequent to the expiration of the COBRA continuation
period, at the Company's election, the Company may purchase a Medicare
supplemental health insurance policy for the Covered Person. The Covered Person
must cooperate in the application for this policy as a condition for receipt of
these benefits. The Company will continue to provide medical benefits on a
self-funded basis in excess of the benefits provided by Medicare or the Medicare
supplemental insurance policy, so that the aggregate benefits are the same level
of benefits as are provided to then active executive employees under the Health
Benefit Plan of the Company.

     4. The Company will report the value of all benefits provided hereunder for
tax purposes as required by law.

     5. The Health Benefit Plan of X-Rite, Incorporated in its present form and
as it may be amended in the future, is incorporated herein by reference.

     6. The Company may amend this Plan so long as the amendments do not reduce
benefits to the Covered Person below the medical benefits provided to then
active executive employees of the Company. The Chairman of the Board of the
Company or such other officers as may be designated by the Board of Directors of
the Company, may amend the Plan by executing a document that provides that it is
an amendment to the Plan.

     7. The Plan is effective October 3, 2005.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has adopted this Plan this third day of October,
2005.

                  Re:      Retirement as Director
                           ----------------------

Dear Pat:

                  This will confirm that I am voluntarily resigning as a
director of New York Community Bancorp, Inc. ("NYB"), New York Community Bank
and New York Commercial Bank by reason of retirement. The resignations are
effective immediately.

                  In connection with my retirement, I understand and agree that
the Consulting Agreement made as of December 1, 2004 (the "Consulting
Agreement") by and among NYB, New York Community Bank ("NYCB") and me has been
terminated, other than its paragraph 3. Based on such termination, I am being
paid the accrued but unpaid monthly consulting fees and expenses due under the
Consulting Agreement through the date of such termination, plus $250,000.05,
representing the amount of such fees through the scheduled end of the Consulting
Period (as defined in the Consulting Agreement), as if the early termination had
not occurred, all in accordance with the terms of the Consulting Agreement.

                  As we agreed, you will provide me with copies of any insurance
policies procured by NYB that may insure me against any pending litigation or
any future claims that may be asserted against me in connection with my service
as an officer or director of NYB or its subsidiaries. For the avoidance of
doubt, by countersigning this letter below, NYB, on behalf of itself and its
banking subsidiaries, hereby releases me and covenants not to bring any legal
action against me based on any claim or cause of action for which
indemnification by NYB would be permitted under NYB's Charter or under Delaware
Business Corporation Law Section 145.

                  This release does not cover any claim for which no right of
indemnification by NYB would exist under the Charter or Delaware law. NYB will
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a form 8-K disclosing, under
Items 1.01, 1.02 and 5.02(b), the entry into this letter agreement, the
termination of the Consulting Agreement and my resignation by reason of
retirement from NYB and its subsidiaries.

                  I recognize that I am required to maintain the confidentiality
of all business-related information about NYB and its subsidiaries and
affiliates (collectively, the "Company") and that this duty of confidentiality
continues in perpetuity even after the effective date of my retirement. In this
regard, I will not disclose any confidential information about the Company or
otherwise disparage it or issue any voluntary communication reflecting adversely
on it. Likewise, neither the Company nor any of its officers or directors will
disclose any confidential information about me or otherwise disparage me or
issue any voluntary communication that disparages me or relates to my
performance as a director and reflects adversely on me in any material way.
Obviously, the foregoing limitations on communications do not apply in providing
disclosures or testimony required by law or responding to any statements made by
me or the Company in contravention of the foregoing.

                  I also recognize and agree that the Noncompetition Agreement
dated as of June 27, 2003 among NYB, NYCB and me, as amended and extended by
Par. 3 of the Consulting Agreement, remains in full force and effect. I am aware
of my duties under such Noncompetition Agreement and represent that I am and
have been in compliance with that Agreement.

                  The signature of an authorized representative of NYB below
will constitute NYB's acknowledgement of receipt of this letter and acceptance
of its terms on behalf of the Company.

                  Please deliver this immediately to the appropriate person at
NYCB to give effect to my resignation.

                                                    Very truly yours,

                                                    /s/ Joseph L. Mancino
                                                    ---------------------
                                                    Joseph L. Mancino
