    Amendment to Employment Agreement of Marc Zandman

    

    

    Amendment to Employment Agreement (this “Amendment”) made on July 14, 2022 by and between VISHAY ISRAEL LTD., a corporation organized
      under the laws of the State of Israel (“Vishay Israel”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vishay”) and MARC ZANDMAN (“Executive”).

    

    

    WHEREAS, Executive has been employed by Vishay Israel pursuant to an Employment Agreement, made between the Parties as of January 1,
      2004 and amended as of August 8, 2010, August 30, 2011 and February 23, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”);

    

    

    WHEREAS, Section 8.5 of the Employment Agreement provides that Vishay Israel and Executive may amend the Employment Agreement by mutual
      agreement in writing; and

    

    

    WHEREAS, Vishay Israel and Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement (1) to provide Vishay’s Compensation Committee with
      discretion to allocate Executive’s annual equity award between time- and performance-based components, (2) to reflect Vishay Israel’s continued payment of premiums on an existing disability insurance policy (consistent with Vishay Israel’s practice
      for other salaried employees), and (3) to reflect contractually the prior decisions of Vishay’s Compensation Committee to self-fund certain supplement welfare benefit coverages provided to Executive.

    

    

    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.

            	
              Effective January 1, 2023, the fourth and fifth sentences of Section 4.5 of the Employment Agreement are hereby replaced
                with the following:

            

    

    
      

      

      The stated value of each such grant will be converted into an aggregate
        number of units by dividing such value by the closing price of Vishay common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding such January 1st.  For 2023 and subsequent years, the allocation of such aggregate number of units between RSUs and PBRSUs will be determined annually by the Compensation Committee, but in each case at least 50% and up to 75% of such units will be
          PBRSUs.

      

      

    

    
      	
              2.

            	
              Section 5.1(a) of the Employment Agreement is hereby restated as follows (new language shown in bold, underlined text):

            

    

    
      

      

      (a)  Beginning on February 1, 2021 and during the remainder of the Term, Executive (and his spouse and eligible dependents, as applicable) shall be entitled to participate in all group vision insurance, dental insurance, disability
          insurance, life insurance and retirement plans which are generally made available by Vishay and Vishay Israel to its senior executives (and their spouses and eligible dependents, as applicable), subject to the eligibility requirements and other
          provisions of such plans and programs; and Vishay Israel shall pay for all premiums therefor (including, without
            limitation, the premiums on Migdal disability insurance policy number 171015891) and reimburse Executive for out-of-pocket expenses and co-payments incurred
          in connection with such plans.

      

      

    

    
      	
              3.

            	
              Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of the Employment Agreement are hereby restated as follows:

            

    

    
      

      

      5.3 Life Insurance. 
          Vishay or Vishay Israel will pay Executive’s designated beneficiary (or in the absence of a designated beneficiary, Executive’s estate) the following death benefit: (i) if Executive dies while employed hereunder, three times (3x) the Base Salary
          at time of death, and (ii) if Executive dies following the cessation of his employment hereunder and such cessation was for a reason described in either Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(c), one time (1x) the Base Salary on the Date of Termination.  Any such
          death benefit will be paid within 60 days of Executive’s death.  Vishay or Vishay Israel, as applicable, shall deduct from such benefit any tax and compulsory payment as required by any applicable law.

      5.4 Supplemental
              Disability Benefits.  If Executive suffers a Disability (as defined below) and such Disability occurs both during the Term and prior to Executive’s attainment of the statutory retirement age then in effect under Section 4 of the
            Retirement Age Law, 5764-2004 (or any successor rule)(the “Statutory Retirement Age”), Vishay Israel shall provide Executive with monthly disability benefits equal to (x) 60% of the sum of (a) the Base Salary at the time of Disability and (b)
            the average of the annual bonuses paid to Executive under Section 4.2 in the three calendar years ending prior to the year benefits under this paragraph are scheduled to commenced, divided by (y) twelve; provided that such payments will (to the
            extent permitted by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) be reduced by (i) any disability benefits payable to Executive under group plans or policies funded by Vishay, Vishay Israel or their affiliates, (ii) any disability benefits
            payable to Executive under any state-sponsored social insurance program, and (iii) ILS 90,000 per month.  Disability benefits under this paragraph will commence three months following the onset of Disability and will continue until the earliest
            of (1) the cessation of such Disability, (2) Executive’s death, and (3) Executive’s attainment of the Statutory Retirement Age.  For this purpose, “Disability” will have the meaning defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(4)(i)(A) and will be
            determined by the examination of a physician selected by Vishay and reasonably acceptable to Executive. Vishay or Vishay Israel, as applicable, shall deduct from any disability benefit payable to the Executive any tax and compulsory payment as
            required by any applicable law.

      

      

      
        
          

      

      

      

    

    
      	
              4.

            	
              Except as set forth in this Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and
                effect.

            

    

    

    

    
      	
              5.

            	
              This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of
                  which shall be deemed an original agreement and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. The counterparts of this Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic signature (including portable
                  document format) by any of the Parties and the receiving Parties may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered electronically or by facsimile as if the original had been received.

            

    

     

    [SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]

     AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

    THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on July 14, 2022 by and between VISHAY DALE ELECTRONICS, LLC (“Vishay Electronics”), VISHAY
      INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC. (“Vishay”), and JOEL SMEJKAL (“Executive”).

    W I T N E S S E T H:

    WHEREAS, Vishay, Vishay Electronics and Executive are parties to an Employment Agreement entered into on February 15,
      2018, as amended on May 20, 2020 and February 23, 2021 (collectively, the “Prior Agreement”);

    WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2023 (the “Effective

          Date”), Vishay, Vishay Electronics and Executive wish to amend and restate the Prior Agreement to reflect certain new terms and conditions of employment, as set forth in this Agreement.

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable
      consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

    1. Definitions.

    1.1. “Accrued Compensation” means (a) earned but unpaid Base Salary (as defined below) and (b)
        unpaid expense reimbursements.

    1.2. “Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of Vishay.

    1.3. “Cause” means any of the following:

    (a) Executive’s conviction of a felony or any other crime involving moral turpitude (whether or not involving Vishay and/or its subsidiaries);

    (b) any act or failure to act by Executive involving dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation, theft or embezzlement of assets from Vishay and/or its subsidiaries; or

    (c) Executive’s (i) willful and repeated failure to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement (other than as a result of total or partial
        incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury) or (ii) willful and repeated failure to substantially comply with any policy of Vishay and/or its subsidiaries applicable to Executive; provided, however, that a termination pursuant to this clause (c) will not
        become effective unless Executive fails to cure such failure to perform or comply within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from Vishay Electronics.

    For avoidance of doubt, a termination due to Disability will not constitute a termination without Cause.

    1.4. “Change in Control” has the meaning defined in the Stock Incentive Program.

    1.5. “Compensation Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

    1.6. “Competing Business” means any business or venture located anywhere in the world that is
        engaged in any business activities to the extent Vishay or any subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay is engaged in such activities or has significant plans to enter into such activities on the Date of Termination.

    1.7. “Date of Termination” means (a) the effective date on which Executive’s employment by
        Vishay Electronics terminates within the meaning of a “separation from service” under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),

        or (b) if Executive’s employment by Vishay Electronics terminates by reason of death, the date of Executive’s death.

    1.8. “Disability” means a disability entitling Executive to
        long-term disability benefits under a plan of Vishay (or a subsidiary or affiliate of Vishay).

     

      

    
      
        

    

    1.9. “Good Reason” means, without Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any of
        the following events:

    (i) any material and adverse change in Executive’s titles, offices, duties, or responsibilities (including reporting responsibilities) with respect to Vishay or any subsidiary or
        affiliate of Vishay from those set forth in this Agreement;

    (ii) a material reduction in Executive’s annual Base Salary (as the same may be increased from time to time after the Effective Date);

    (iii) relocation of Executive’s principal place of performance by more than 50 miles from Columbus, Nebraska (excluding for this purpose reasonable travel from time to time); or

    (iv) a material breach of this Agreement by Vishay Electronics;

    provided however, that none of the foregoing events or conditions will constitute Good Reason unless Executive provides Vishay
      Electronics with written objection to the event or condition within 30 days following the initial occurrence thereof, Vishay Electronics does not reverse or otherwise cure the event or condition within 30 days of receiving that written objection, and
      Executive resigns his employment within 90 days following the expiration of that cure period.

    1.10. “Non-Competition Period” means the period commencing upon the Effective Date and ending on

    1.12. “Stock Incentive Program” means the Vishay Intertechnology 2007 Stock Incentive Program.

    2. Term. The “Term”
        of Executive’s employment hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  If Executive’s employment ceases for any reason prior to the Effective Date, this Agreement
        will be void ab initio and the effects of such cessation will be determined without regard to this Agreement.

    3. Duties.

    3.1. Positions.  During the Term, Executive shall serve as the
        President and Chief Executive Officer of Vishay, reporting directly to the Board of Directors.

    3.2. Authority and Responsibility.  Executive shall have authority and responsibility
        customarily applicable to the positions described in Section 3.1, and shall perform such other duties as may be assigned by Vishay from time to time.

    3.3. Activities.  Excluding any periods of vacation, personal, sick leave and other permitted
        absences to which Executive is entitled according to this Agreement and applicable law, Executive shall devote his full professional attention and best efforts during the Term to the business and affairs of Vishay and its subsidiaries and
        affiliates.  It shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for Executive to (a) provide services to Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (b) serve on corporate, industry, civic or charitable boards or committees, or (c) manage
        personal investments, so long as such activities would be permitted under Section 7 and do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s
        responsibilities as an employee of Vishay Electronics in accordance with this Agreement.

    4. Compensation.

    4.1. Base Salary.  Vishay Electronics shall pay Executive a base salary of not less than $900,000 per year (as adjusted from time to time, the “Base Salary”).  Such
        Base Salary will be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and will be paid in accordance with Vishay Electronics’ standard salary policies as they exist from time to time, subject to such deductions, if any, as are required by law or elected by Executive (for example, with respect to 401(k) plan contributions).

    4.2. Bonus.  For each fiscal year ending both during the Term and prior to the time that notice
        of termination is given by either party, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus (“Bonus”) payable in cash, with a target opportunity
        equal to 100% of his Base Salary.  The actual amount of Bonus payable to Executive shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, and shall be based upon the achievement of certain corporate and/or individual performance goals to be established
        by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

     

      

    
      
        

    

    4.3. Annual Equity Grant.

    (a) On or about each January 1st occurring both during the Term and prior to the time that notice of termination is given by either party, Executive will be eligible to
        receive an annual equity award under the Stock Incentive Program (or any successor plan or arrangement thereof).

    (i) With respect to the 2023 calendar year: (A) the stated value of Executive’s annual equity award will be at least $2,300,000 (provided Executive then remains in service and notice
        of termination has not been given by either party), and (B) the 2023 equity award will be comprised of an equal number of restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs); and (C) except as otherwise specified
        herein, all other terms of the 2023 equity award will be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion.  The stated value of the 2023 equity award will be converted into an aggregate number of units by dividing such value by the
        closing price of Vishay common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding the grant date.  The resulting aggregate number of units will then be divided evenly between RSUs and PRSUs.

    (ii) With respect to calendar years after 2023, the size of Executive’s annual equity award and, except as otherwise specified herein, all other terms of each year’s equity award, will
        be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

    (b) With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay prior to the Effective Date, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i)
        termination by Vishay Electronics without Cause, (ii) resignation by Executive with Good Reason (or for any reason after Executive attains age 62, unless Cause then exists), or (iii) his death or Disability, then subject in each case (other than
        death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2(c), any
        service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

    (c) With respect to any annual equity awards granted to Executive by Vishay or its successor on or after the Effective Date, if Executive’s service ceases due to (i) resignation by
        Executive for any reason after Executive attains age 62 (unless Cause then exists), (ii) Executive’s death or Disability, (iii) termination by Vishay Electronics without Cause upon or within one year following a Change in Control, or (iv)
        resignation by Executive with Good Reason upon or within one year following a Change in Control, then subject in each case (other than death) to Executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in
        accordance with Section 6.2(c), any service-based vesting criteria applicable to such equity awards will be deemed satisfied and any performance-based vesting
        criteria applicable to such equity awards will remain in effect.

    (d) Upon a Change in Control, to the extent Executive’s then outstanding equity awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.3 are not assumed or continued by the surviving company, such awards will then vest (with any performance-based vesting criteria deemed satisfied at the target level or, if greater, at the level of
        actual performance achieved through the date of such Change in Control).

    5. Additional Rights.

    5.1. Participation in Benefit Plans and Programs.  During the Term, Executive, together with
        his spouse and dependent children up to age 26, shall be entitled to participate in any and all medical insurance, group health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance and retirement plans which are generally made available by Vishay
        Electronics to its senior executives, subject to the eligibility requirements and other provisions of such plans and programs.

    5.2. Reimbursement of Expenses.  In accordance with Vishay Electronics’ standard reimbursement
        policies as they exist from time to time, Vishay Electronics shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and documented travel, business entertainment and other business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the performance of his
        duties under this Agreement.

    5.3. Vacation, Personal and Sick Days.  Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation, holidays,
        personal and sick days in accordance with and subject to Vishay Electronics’ policies, as in effect from time to time.

    5.4. Indemnification.  Vishay shall indemnify Executive to the extent provided in Vishay’s
        certificate of incorporation and/or bylaws, as in effect from time to time.

     

      

    
      
        

    

    6. Termination of Employment: Compensation Upon Termination.

    6.1. Termination.  Executive’s employment with Vishay Electronics may be terminated by
        Executive or by Vishay Electronics for any or no reason.

    6.2. Compensation Upon Termination.

    (a) Termination by Vishay Electronics Without Cause; Termination by
            Executive With Good Reason.  In the event Executive's employment with Vishay Electronics is terminated by Vishay Electronics without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to the following:

    (i) A lump sum cash payment equal to all Accrued Compensation, such payment to be made within 15 days after the Date of Termination.

    (ii) Payment of any otherwise earned but unpaid Bonus for any fiscal year ending prior to the Date of Termination, payable in the same manner and at the
        same time as such Bonus would have been paid in the absence of such termination.

    (iii) Payment of a pro-rata Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, determined and paid in the same
        manner and at the same time as such Bonus would have been determined and paid in the absence of such termination.  The pro-ration of such Bonus will be determined based on the number of days of the applicable fiscal year that have transpired prior
        to the Date of Termination relative to the total number of days contained in that fiscal year.

    (iv) Continued payment of Executive's then current Base Salary from the Date of Termination until the third anniversary of the Date of Termination, to be
        paid in equal installments in accordance with Vishay Electronics’ standard payroll practices, as in effect from time to time, but no less frequently than monthly, and which shall commence in accordance with Section 6.2(c); provided, however, that if such termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs within 16 months following a Change in Control that also constitutes a “change in control event” described in Treas. Reg. §
        1.409A-3(i)(5)(i), the amounts otherwise payable under this clause (iv) will instead be paid in a single lump sum at the time specified in Section 6.2(c).

    (v) All rights Executive is entitled to under the terms of Vishay Electronics’ benefit plans or arrangements (other than severance benefit plans).

    (b) Termination For Any Other Reason.  In the event Executive’s employment with Vishay
        Electronics is terminated for any reason other than as specified in Section 6.2(a), Executive shall be entitled to (i) a lump sum cash payment equal
        to all Accrued Compensation, such payment to be made within 15 days after the Date of Termination; (ii) all rights Executive is entitled to under the terms of Vishay Electronics benefit plans or arrangements; and (iii)
        in the case of a cessation of employment due to Executive’s death or Disability, the Bonus payments described above in Sections 6.2(a)(ii) and (iii); provided, in the case of a cessation due to Disability, such Bonus payments will be conditioned on Executive’s execution of a release of claims in
        favor of Vishay and its subsidiaries and affiliates in accordance with Section 6.2(c).

    (c) Release.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
        Agreement, (i) Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payments pursuant to Sections 6.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) unless Executive has executed and delivered to Vishay Electronics and Vishay a release of all claims in the
        form prescribed by Vishay Electronics (“Release”), and such Release becomes irrevocable within 60 days following the Date of Termination, and (ii) Executive
        shall be entitled to receive such payments only so long as Executive has not breached the provisions of Section 7 hereof.  The severance benefits
        described in Sections 6.2(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) will be paid or begin to be paid, as applicable, within 65 days following the Date of Termination (or, in the case of the payments described in Sections 6.2(a)(ii) and (iii), at such later time as such Bonuses would have otherwise been
        payable in the absence of such termination); provided, that if the 60-day period described in the previous sentence begins in one taxable year and ends in the
        next succeeding taxable year, such payments shall not be paid or begin to be paid, as applicable, until the succeeding taxable year.

    6.3. Section 409A.

    (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided to
        Executive constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of section 409A of the Code, and its implementing regulations and guidance (collectively, “Section 409A”); (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible
        for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to Executive in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the
        calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to payment or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged
        for any other benefit.

    (b) For purposes of Section 409A, each payment in a series of payments provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be deemed a separate payment.

     

      

    
      
        

    

    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, any payment or benefit described in Section 6 that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall only be paid or provided to Executive upon his “separation from service” within the
        meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation).  To the extent compliance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) is necessary to avoid the application of an additional tax under Section
        409A to payments due to Executive upon or following his “separation from service,” then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (or any otherwise applicable plan, policy, agreement or arrangement), any such payments that are otherwise
        due within six months following Executive’s “separation from service” will be deferred (without interest) and paid to Executive in a lump sum immediately following that six month period.  In the event Executive dies during that six month period,
        the amounts deferred on account of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision) shall be paid to the personal representatives of the Executive’s estate within
        sixty (60) days following Executive’s death.  To the extent permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(or any successor provision), this provision shall not be construed as preventing payments to Executive pursuant to Section 6 in the first six months following Executive’s “separation from service” equal to an amount up to two (2) times the lesser of: (i)
        Executive’s annualized compensation for the year prior to the “separation from service;” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to section
        401(a)(17) of the Code.

    (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, all benefits or payments provided to Executive are intended to comply with or be exempt from
        Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or otherwise, payments may only be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A or an applicable
        exemption.

    7. Restrictive Covenants.

    7.1. Non-Competition.  During the Non-Competition Period, Executive shall not, without the
        prior written consent of Vishay expressly authorized by the Board of Directors, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, participate in, invest in or otherwise be connected or associated with, in any manner, including as an
        officer, director, employee, independent contractor, subcontractor, stockholder, member, manager, partner, principal, consultant, advisor, agent, proprietor, trustee or investor, any Competing Business; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Executive from (a) owning five percent (5%) or
        less of the stock or other securities of a publicly held corporation, so long as Executive does not in fact have the power to control, or direct the management of, and is not otherwise associated with, such corporation, or (b) performing services
        for an investment bank, investment advisor or investment fund that may, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, participate in, invest in or otherwise be connected or associated with, in any manner, any Competing Business,
        provided that Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, have any responsibility whatsoever for, provide any services whatsoever to, or otherwise be connected or associated with such Competing Business.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
        company has separate divisions or subsidiaries, some of which conduct a Competing Business and some of which conduct other businesses which are not Competing Businesses, then the restrictions imposed hereunder with respect to Competing Businesses
        shall apply only to the divisions or subsidiaries of such company that conduct the Competing Businesses, provided that (x) Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, have any responsibility whatsoever for, provide any services whatsoever to, or
        otherwise be connected or associated with any Competing Business of the same company, and (y) Executive obtains the prior written consent of Vishay expressly authorized by the Board of Directors, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

    7.2. Non-Solicitation.  During the Non-Solicitation Period, Executive shall not, directly or
        indirectly:

    (a) solicit any customer of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;

    (b) hire, solicit for employment, or recruit any person who at the relevant time is or, within the preceding three (3) months, was, an officer, director, employee, independent
        contractor, subcontractor, manager, partner, principal, consultant, or agent of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or induce or encourage any of the foregoing to terminate their employment, contractual or other relationship (as
        appropriate) with Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or attempt to do any of the foregoing either on Executive’s own behalf or for the benefit of any third person or entity;

    (c) persuade or seek to persuade any customer of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which the customer has
        customarily done or contemplates doing with Vishay or such subsidiary or affiliate, whether or not the relationship with such customer was originally established in whole or in part through Executive’s efforts; or

    (d) interfere in any manner in the relationship of Vishay or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates with any of their respective customers, suppliers, or independent contractors,
        whether or not the relationship with such customer, supplier or independent contractor was originally established in whole or in part through Executive’s efforts.

     

      

    
      
        

    

    7.3. Confidential Information.  Executive agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly,
        use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other than in the course of Executive’s assigned duties hereunder and for the benefit of Vishay and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates, either during the Term or at any time
        thereafter, any nonpublic, proprietary or confidential information, knowledge or data in any form or media, whether documentary, written, oral or computer generated, relating to Vishay, any of its subsidiaries, affiliated companies or businesses,
        which shall have been obtained by Executive during Executive’s employment by Vishay and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates.  The foregoing shall not apply to information that (a) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to Executive; (b)
        becomes known to the public subsequent to disclosure to Executive through no wrongful act of Executive or any representative of Executive; or (c) Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that
        Executive provides Vishay with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and reasonably cooperates with Vishay at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information).  Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b)
        of the preceding sentence, Executive’s obligation to maintain such disclosed information in confidence shall not terminate where only portions of the information are in the public domain.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (x)
        Executive may be entitled to immunity and protection from retaliation under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 for disclosing a trade secret under certain limited circumstances, as set forth in Vishay’s trade secret policy, as the same may be
        amended from time to time; and (y) this Agreement shall not be construed to impede Executive from making any communications or disclosures contemplated by Rule 12F-17 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any successor
        legislation or to require notification or prior approval by Vishay and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates of any such report; provided that, Executive is not authorized to disclose communications with counsel that were made for the purpose of
        receiving legal advice or that contain legal advice or that are protected by the attorney work product or similar privilege.

    7.4. Non-Disparagement.  Executive agrees not to make any public
        statements that disparage Vishay, Vishay Electronics or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, products or services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, statements made in the course of sworn testimony in
        administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings) shall not be subject to this Section 7.4.

    7.5. Acknowledgements Respecting Restrictive Covenants.

    (a) Executive has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 7 and,
        having done so, agrees that:

    (i) the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7, including, without
        limitation, the scope and time period of such restrictions, are reasonable, fair and equitable in light of Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and the benefits to be provided to him under this Agreement; and

    (ii) such restrictive covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Vishay, Vishay Electronics and their subsidiaries and affiliates.

    (b) The parties acknowledge that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that will accrue to one party in the event that the other party breaches
        any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 and that any such damages, in any event, would be inadequate and insufficient. 
        Therefore, if Executive breaches any restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Vishay Electronics shall be entitled to an injunction
        restraining the breaching party from violating such restrictive covenant.  If Vishay shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce a restrictive covenant contained in this Section 7, Executive hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such action or proceeding, the claim or defense that Vishay Electronics has an adequate remedy at law.

    (c) In the event of a breach of any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7,
        the parties agree that Vishay and Vishay Electronics, in addition to any injunctive relief as described in Section 7.5(b), shall be entitled to any
        other appropriate legal or equitable remedy.

    (d) If any of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7
        are deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extent, duration or geographical scope or otherwise, the parties contemplate that the court shall revise such extent, duration, geographical scope or other
        provision but only to the extent required in order to render such restrictions enforceable, and enforce any such restriction in its revised form for all purposes in the manner contemplated hereby.

    7.6. Consideration.  Executive hereby acknowledges that Vishay Electronics’ obligation to make
        payments to Executive pursuant to Section 4 and Section 6
        of this Agreement is in consideration of Executive’s agreement to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Section 7.

     

      

    
      
        

    

    8. Miscellaneous.

    8.1. Notices.  Any notice, consent, request or other communication made or given in accordance
        with this Agreement, shall be in writing and shall be sent either by (a) personal delivery to the party entitled thereto, (b) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (c) Federal Express or similar courier service.  The notice,
        consent request or other communication shall be deemed to have been received upon personal delivery, upon confirmation of receipt of courier service, or, if mailed, three (3) days after mailing.  Notice under this Agreement to Executive from Vishay
        shall be deemed effective as notice from Vishay Electronics.  Any notice, consent, request or other communication made or given in accordance with this Agreement shall be made to those listed below at their following respective addresses or at such
        other address as each may specify by notice to the other:

    8.2. Successors.

    (a) This Agreement is personal to Executive and, without the prior written consent of Vishay Electronics, shall not be assignable by Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of
        descent and distribution.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s heirs and legal representatives.

    (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Vishay Electronics and its successors and assigns.

    8.3. Complete Understanding; Amendment: Waiver.  This Agreement constitutes the complete
        understanding between the parties with respect to the employment of Executive and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Executive, Vishay, and Vishay Electronics (and/or any Vishay subsidiary
        or affiliate) with respect to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement). No statement, representation, warranty or covenant has been made by either party with respect these matters except as expressly set forth
        herein.  This Agreement shall not be altered, modified, amended or terminated except by a written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto.  Any waiver of any term or provision hereof, or of the application of any such term or provision to
        any circumstances, shall be in writing signed by the party charged with giving such waiver.  Waiver by either party hereto of any breach hereunder by the other party shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach, whether similar to or different
        from the breach waived.  No delay on the part of Vishay, Vishay Electronics or Executive in the exercise of any of their respective rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver thereof and no single or partial exercise by Vishay, Vishay Electronics
        or Executive of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof.

    8.4. Withholding Taxes.  Vishay Electronics and its affiliates may withhold from all payments
        due to Executive (or his beneficiary or estate) under this Agreement all taxes which, by applicable federal, state, local or other law, Vishay Electronics or any such affiliate is required to withhold therefrom.

    8.5. Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall
        not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in part, the remaining portion of such provision, together with all other provisions of
        this Agreement, shall remain valid and enforceable and continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent consistent with law.

    8.6. Other Conditions of Service.  Executive will also be subject
        to all policies of Vishay and Vishay Electronics in effect from time to time with respect to its executives generally, including (without limitation) any policies regarding clawbacks, securities trading or hedging or pledging of securities.

    8.7. Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws
        of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law.

    8.8. Arbitration.  Except as provided in Section 7.5 hereof, any dispute or controversy under this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
        Association then in effect.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitration award in any court having jurisdiction.  The arbitrator may award legal fees but shall not be obligated to do so.

    8.9. Titles and Captions.  All Section titles or captions in this Agreement are for convenience
        only and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the scope or intent of any provision hereof.

    8.10.   
      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each
        of which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Any counterpart may be executed and delivered
          electronically (including via docusign, portable document format or similar method) and a receiving party may rely on the receipt of a document so executed and delivered as if the original had been received.
