     past practices.

(e)  The Executive agrees to serve on the board of directors of such

3.   Base Salary, Bonus and Financial Planning Allowance.
     ----------------------------------------------------

     (a)  Base Salary

     The Companies agree to pay or cause to be paid to the Executive during the
     first year of this Agreement a base salary at the rate of US $20,000 per
     month, payable in U.S. Dollars or in the currency of Israel (as determined
     by the Representative Rate of the U.S. Dollar published by the Bank of
     Israel immediately prior to the date of payment of each installment
     thereof), or such larger amount as the Board may in its sole discretion
     determine following a review which shall be conducted by the Board by not
     later than March 31 of each year, beginning March 31. 2002, such larger
     amount to take effect retroactively to the January 1 immediately preceding
     such review (hereinafter referred to as the "Base Salary"), and during the
     second year of this Agreement a Base Salary at the rate of US $23,750 per
     month. Notwithstanding such review, on each anniversary of the effective
     date of this Agreement, the Base Salary shall be adjusted upward in an
     amount equal to the official anticipated net Israeli inflation rate as
     published by the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics in the month of
     December immediately preceding such anniversary, in each case for the year
     immediately following such anniversary, as adjusted for any changes in the
     value of the New Israeli Shekel against the U.S. Dollar. Such Base Salary
     shall be payable in equal monthly installments.

     (b)  Bonus

The Companies agree to pay or cause to be paid to the Executive on each
anniversary of this Agreement or as soon thereafter as may be possible in order
to determine the relevant results of the Companies, an annual bonus, as follows:

          (i)  If, as of such anniversary, the Companies shall have attained 80%
of the Companies' Budgeted Number (as defined below) for the year preceding such
anniversary, then

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Executive's bonus shall be equal to 35% of Executive's annual Base Salary as
then in effect for the year preceding such anniversary;

          (ii)  If, as of such anniversary, the Companies shall have attained
120% of the Companies' Budgeted Number (as defined below) for the year preceding
such anniversary, then Executive's bonus shall be equal to 90% of Executive's
annual Base Salary as then in effect for the year preceding such anniversary;

          (iii) If, as of such anniversary, the Companies shall have attained
more than 80% but less than 120% of the Companies' Budgeted Number (as defined
below), then Executive's bonus shall be calculated as follows:

                B =  (S x 35%) + (N-80)/40 x (S x 55%)
                                 --              ----

                Where:

                B =  The amount of Executive's annual bonus, as a percentage of
                Executive's Base Salary; and

                N =  The percentage of the Budgeted Number (as defined below)
                that was attained by the Companies in the immediately preceding
                fiscal year; provided, however, that N is more than 80 and less
                than 120;

S=   Executive's Base Salary.

For the purposes of this Section 3(b), the Budgeted Number shall be the budgeted
results of the Companies as mutually agreed by the Boards and Executive prior to
the end of each fiscal year for the fiscal year designated in such budget.

(c)  In addition, the Companies shall pay Executive an amount of $10,000 on each
anniversary of this Agreement to cover Executive's tax and financial planning
expenses.

(d)  To the maximum extent permitted by law, all payments to the Executive
hereunder shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. Subject to the immediately preceding
sentence, and subject to the approval of the Executive, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Companies, in order to reflect the different duties
of the Executive with respect to each of them, may allocate between themselves
their obligations to make the payments and provide the benefits specified in
this Agreement. The amount paid to the Executive hereunder by EFL shall be
referred to hereinafter as the "EFL Base Salary"; provided, that in no event
shall the EFL Base Salary in any year be greater than the Base Salary for that
year.

     shall be automatically converted into the right to receive such a cash
     payment in respect of such excess. Payments to which the Executive is
     entitled pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall be made promptly after the
     Executive's request therefor.

(d)  Sick Leave. The Executive shall be entitled to 30 days of fully paid sick

     the Executive, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Executive
     shall be entitled to use the automobile for his personal and business
     needs, so long as he does not allow anyone

     expense incurred.

(f)  Recuperation Payments (D'mai Havra-ah). The Executive shall be entitled to

executives in publicly-held United States and Israeli companies. All expense
reimbursements made under this Section shall be tax-effected such that the
amount of reimbursement received by the Executive net of any taxes and

sentence) equals the expense incurred.

          foregoing benefits shall be limited to the extent that the Executive
          obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit
          plans; and

     (c)  The Companies shall procure life insurance on the Executive in order
          to secure the payment of its obligations arising in the event of
          termination under Section 6(a) hereof. Such insurance shall be payable
          to the Company, which shall remain primarily liable for the payment of
          all such obligations to the Executive.

     developments, designs, inventions, improvements, data, methods, trade
     secrets and works of authorship which the Companies own, plan or develop,
     including without limitation the specifications, documentation and other
     information relating to the Companies' zinc-air battery systems, and
     businesses and equipment related thereto (in each case whether for their
     own use or for use by their clients) are confidential and are the property
     of the Companies. Executive also recognizes that the Companies' technology,
     customer lists, supplier lists, proposals and procedures are confidential
     and are the property of the Companies. Executive further recognizes and
     acknowledges that in order to enable the Companies to perform services for
     their clients, those clients may furnish to the Companies confidential
     information concerning their business affairs, property, methods of
     operation or other data. All of these materials and information will be
     referred to below as "Proprietary Information"; provided, however, that
     such information shall not include any information known generally to the
     public (other than as a result of unauthorized disclosure by the
     Executive).

(b)  Non-Disclosure. Executive agrees that, except as directed by the Companies,
     --------------
     and in the ordinary course of the Companies' businesses, Executive will not
     during Executive's employment with the Companies and thereafter, disclose
     to any person or entity or use, directly or indirectly for Executive's own
     benefit or the benefit of others, any Proprietary Information, or permit
     any person to examine or make copies of any documents which may contain or
     be derived from Proprietary Information; provided, however, that the
     Executive's duties under this Section 8(b) shall not extend to (i) any
     disclosure that may be required by law in connection with any judicial or
     administrative proceeding or inquiry or (ii) any disclosure which may be
     reasonably required in connection with any actions or proceedings to
     enforce the Executive's rights under this Agreement. Executive agrees that
     the provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this
     Agreement and Executive's employment by the Companies.

(c)  Competitive Activity. The Executive undertakes not, directly or indirectly
     --------------------
     (whether as owner, partner, consultant, employee or otherwise) at any time,
     during and for thirty-six (36) months following termination of his
     employment with the Companies, to engage in or contribute his knowledge to
     any work or activity that involves a product, process, service or
     development which is then directly (in any material manner) competitive
     with the Companies' zinc-air energy systems and the same as or similar to a
     product, process, service or development specifically related to the
     Companies' zinc-air energy system on which the Executive worked or with
     respect to which the Executive had access to Proprietary Information while
     with the

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

     Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted
     to engage in the aforementioned proposed work or activity if the Companies
     furnishes him with written consent to that effect signed by an authorized
     officer of each Company.

(d)  No Solicitation. During the period specified in 8(c) hereof, Executive will
     ---------------
     not solicit or encourage any customer or supplier of either Company or of
     any group, division or subsidiary of either Company, to terminate its
     relationship with either Company or any such group, division or subsidiary,
     and Executive will not, directly or indirectly, recruit or otherwise seek
     to induce any employee of either Company or any such group, division or
     subsidiary to terminate his or her employment or violate any agreement with
     or duty to either Company or any such group, division or subsidiary.

(e)  Equitable Relief. The Executive agrees that violations of the material
     ----------------
     covenants in this Section 8 will cause the Companies irreparable injuries
     and agrees that the Companies may enforce said covenants by seeking
     injunctive or other equitable relief (in addition to any other remedies the
     Companies may have at law for damages or otherwise) from a court of
     competent jurisdiction. In the event such court declares these covenants to
     be too broad to be specifically enforced, the covenants shall be enforced
     to the largest extent as may be allowed by such court for the Companies'
     protection. Executive further agrees that no breach by the Companies of,
     or other failure by the Companies under this Agreement shall relieve the
     Executive of any obligations under Sections 8(a) and 8(b) hereof.

9.   Successors and Assigns.
     ----------------------

(a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each
     Company, its successors and assigns and the Companies shall require any
     successor or assign to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement

15.  Joint and Several Obligations.
     -----------------------------

The obligations and liabilities of each Company hereunder shall be joint and

16.  Registration Rights.
     -------------------

(a)  If EFC at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the
     Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time in effect (together with the
     rules and regulations thereunder, all as from time to time in effect, the
     "Securities Act"), for its own account or for the account of any holder of
     its securities, on a form which would permit registration of Common Stock
     of EFC at the time held or obtainable upon the exercise of options,
     warrants or rights, or the conversion of convertible securities, at the
     time held by the Executive ("Registrable Securities"), for sale to the
     public under the Securities Act, EFC will each such time give notice to the
     Executive of its intention to do so. Such notice shall describe such
     securities and specify the form, manner and other relevant aspects of such
     proposed registration. The Executive may, by written response delivered to
     EFC within 15 days after the giving of any such notice, request that all or
     a specified part of the Registrable Securities be included in such
     registration. EFC will thereupon use its best efforts as part of its filing
     of such form to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all
     Registrable Securities which EFC has been so requested to register by the
     Executive, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance
     with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable
     Securities to be so registered.

(b)  The Executive may, by notice to EFC specifying the intended method or
     methods of disposition, given at any time and from time to time after EFC
     has registered any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act,
     request that EFC effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or
     a specified part of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that EFC
     shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section
     16(b) unless such registration may be effected on a Form S-3 (or any
     successor or similar Form); and provided, further, that each registration
     pursuant to this Section 16(b) shall cover a number of Registrable Shares
     equal to not less than 2% of the aggregate number of shares of EFC Common
     Stock then outstanding. EFC will then use its best efforts to effect the
     registration as promptly as practicable under the Securities Act of the
     Registrable Securities which EFC has been requested to register by the
     Executive pursuant to the Section 16(b).

(c)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16(b), in the event that
     Executive has requested pursuant to Section 16(b) that EFC effect a
     registration of securities, and (i) the Board of EFC determines that it
     would be seriously detrimental to EFC to effect a registration pursuant to
     Section 16(b), or (ii) the Board of EFC determines in good faith that (A)
     EFC is in possession of material, non-public information concerning an
     acquisition, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization or
     other material transaction by or of EFC or concerning pending or threatened
     litigation and (B) disclosure of such information would jeopardize any such
     transaction or litigation or otherwise materially harm EFC, then EFC shall
     promptly notify Executive of the occurrence of any of the events described
     in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii). Upon the occurrence of any of the
     events described in clauses (i) or (ii) hereof, EFC shall be allowed to
     defer a registration of securities pursuant to Section 16(b) above, and if
     a registration statement had already been filed at such time, Executive
     shall not dispose of his Registrable Securities under such regis-

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

     tration statement until it is so advised in writing by EFC that the
     registration of securities under 16(b) may be effected or resumed.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such deferment or prohibition on
     disposition shall not be in effect for more than 90 days in any 12 months
     period.

(d)  EFC shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable
     Securities under Section 16(a) hereof incidental to the registration of any
     of its securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange
     offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other employee
     benefit plans.

(e)  EFC hereby agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, all legal, accounting,
     printing and other expenses (other than the fees and expenses of the
     Executive's own counsel and other than underwriting discounts and
     commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities) in connection with
     each registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 16.

(f)  In connection with each registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to
     this Section 16, EFC and the Executive will enter into such agreements,
     containing such terms and conditions, as are customary in connection with
     public offerings, such agreements to contain, without limitation, customary
     indemnification provisions, representations and warranties and opinions and
     other documents to be delivered in connection therewith, and to be, if
     requested, with underwriters.

(g)  The provisions of this Section 16 shall be subject to any agreement entered
     into by EFC, in good faith, with any underwriter of EFC's securities or any
     person or entity providing financing to EFC, in each case containing
     reasonable limitations on the Executive's rights and EFC's obligations
     hereunder.

(h)  The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the termination of the
     other provisions of this Agreement. The rights of the Executive under this
     Section 16 are assignable, in whole or in part, by the Executive to any
     person or other entity acquiring securities of EFC from the Executive.

(i)  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Executive
     shall not demand a registration during the 180 days following an
     underwritten public offering of the Common Stock of the Company.

(j)  Without the prior written consent of the underwriters managing any public
     offering, for a period beginning ten days immediately preceding the
     effective date of any registration statement filed by the Company under the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and ending on the earlier of (i) 180
     days after the effective date of such registration statement and (ii) the
     end of the shortest period generally applicable to any "affiliate" (as
     defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of EFC who is a selling
     shareholder pursuant to such registration statement or who is otherwise
     subject to a lockup provision, the Executive (whether or not a selling
     shareholder pursuant to such registration statement) shall not sell or
     otherwise transfer any securities of EFC except pursuant to such
     registration statement.

                                      -13-

Dear Yehuda:

               Re:  Your Employment Agreement dated January 1, 2000
                    -----------------------------------------------

In connection with your employment with Electric Fuel Corporation and Electric
Fuel (E.F.C.) Ltd. (together, the "Company"), we wish to amend the Second
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated January 1, 2000 between you and
the Company (the "Agreement") in certain respects.

     1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, it is hereby
        agreed between us that we shall have the right, unilaterally on 90 days'
        written notice to you, to extend the term of the Agreement until
        December 31, 2003.

     2. As part of the consideration for your extension of the term of the
        Agreement as aforesaid, we will offer you the opportunity to purchase up
        to 100,000 shares of our common stock and up to 100,000 warrants to
        purchase shares of our common stock, at a total purchase price of
        $556,250 (based on a closing price per share of our common stock on
        January 12, 2001 of $5.5625 per share), on the following terms and
        conditions:

          (a)  The total purchase price for the shares and the warrants will be
               $556,250, of which you will pay $1,000 in cash, and the remaining
               $555,250 by means of a ten-year, non-recourse promissory note
               dated January 12, 2001, bearing interest at the Interest Rate.
<PAGE>

                                      -2-

          (b)  Of the 100,000 warrants, 33,333 warrants shall be warrants to
               purchase up to 33,333 shares of common stock at a purchase price
               of $7.5094 per share, expiring on October 12, 2001, and 66,667
               warrants shall be warrants to purchase up to 66,667 shares of
               common stock at a purchase price of $8.3438 per share, expiring
               on October 12, 2006. Terms of purchase of common stock pursuant
               to these warrants shall be similar to the terms of purchase
               provided for in subparagraph (b) above (i.e., par value in cash
               and the remainder by ten-year non-recourse note bearing interest
               at the Interest Rate applicable on the date of exercise of the
               warrants).

          (c)  You shall provide security for the promissory notes referred to
               above that shall be adequate under 12 U.S.C. (S) 221 et seq.
               (Regulation U), which will include at a minimum all shares of our
               common stock acquired by you pursuant to this paragraph 4.

          (d)  The proceeds of any sales of the common stock purchased by you
               hereunder shall be used to reduce proportionally the amount of
               your outstanding loan from us, principal and interest. For
               example, if prior to the exercise of any warrants you sell 10,000
               shares of the common stock purchased by you hereunder, the
               proceeds of this sale will be used first to pay down 10% of the
               original principal and 10% of the interest under your loan.
               Furthermore, we may withhold from such proceeds such amounts for
               taxes, etc. as we may be required to do under law.

          (e)  Should you leave the employ of the Company prior to December 31,
               2002 (or December 31, 2003 should we exercise the option to
               extend the term of the Agreement granted to us in paragraph one
               above), all securities purchased by you under the terms of this
               paragraph 4 shall revert back to the Company.

          (f)  You acknowledge that these securities have not been registered
               under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
               the rules and regulations thereunder (the "Securities Act"), and
               accordingly are restricted within the meaning of, and subject to
               applicable impediments pertaining to the transfer of restricted
