writing; and 

     

         WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend the Employment

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual benefits
to be derived herefrom and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

     

         1. Section 4.1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to substitute
“EUR 752,776” for “EUR 582,633” in the first sentence of the

         2. The Employment Agreement is hereby amended to
add the following new Sections

39,000 time-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 118,000 performance-based
restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”), under the Vishay Intertechnology 2007 Stock

commencing on January 1, 2011 and on each January 1 thereafter during the Term,
Vishay shall grant Executive an annual equity award under the Stock Incentive
Program (or any successor plan or arrangement thereof) having a value
approximately equal to 150% of Executive’s Base Salary on such date. Twenty-five
percent of each such grant shall be in the form of RSUs, and 75% shall be in the

for purposes of determining the number of RSUs and PBRSUs to be granted on such
date shall be equal to the closing price of such stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding such January 1. Subject to
Executive’s continued employment with Vishay Europe, the RSUs and PBRSUs shall
vest on January 1 of the third year following their grant, provided that, in the
case of the PBRSUs, only to the extent the performance criteria applicable to
the PBRSUs are realized. In the event of the termination of Executive’s
employment with Vishay Europe by Vishay Europe without Cause, by Executive for
Good Reason, for any reason other than Cause after Executive attains age 62, or
as a result of his death or Disability, the outstanding RSUs granted pursuant to
this Section 4.5 shall immediately vest and the outstanding PBRSUs granted

4.7 shall immediately vest. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in
