Ladies and Gentlemen:

    By execution of this purchase notice, each signatory below represents that
it has received the company notice, dated May 5, 2004, of VISHAY
INTERTECHNOLOGY, INC. The company notice provides the notice required to be
given to the holders of Vishay's Liquid Yield Option'TM' Notes due June 4, 2021
(Zero Coupon-Subordinated) (LYONs) by the indenture, dated as of June 4, 2001,
between the company and The Bank of New York, as trustee, governing the LYONs.
As provided in the indenture and the LYONs, the holder of the LYONs have the
option to require the company to purchase the LYONs on the purchase date of
June 4, 2004, for a purchase price of $602.77 per $1,000 principal amount at
maturity of the LYONs.

    The company has exercised its right to make payment of the purchase price in
shares of Vishay common stock, with cash payable in respect of any fractional
shares. Each holder of LYONs that exercises the option will receive a number of
shares determined by dividing the total amount of cash the holder would have
been entitled to receive had the purchase price been paid in cash by the market
price of a share of common stock. Market price for these purposes means the
average of the closing prices of Vishay common stock in New York Stock Exchange
composite trading for the five trading day period ending on the third business
day prior to the purchase date, which is the period from May 25, 2004 to and
including June 1, 2004. However, if certain conditions are not satisfied, as
described in the company notice, the company will be required to pay the
purchase price in cash.

     the undersigned hereby irrevocably sells, assigns and transfers to the

     to the LYONs identified in this purchase notice;

     all original issue discount, and any continent interest, on the LYONs
     identified in this purchase notice will cease to accrue on and after the
     purchase date; and

     the only right of the undersigned with respect to the LYONs identified in
     this purchase notice from and after the purchase date will be to receive
     payment of the purchase price promptly following the later to occur of the
     purchase date and the time of delivery to the paying agent of the LYONs
     identified in this purchase notice.

    The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the paying agent
the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned, with full
knowledge that the paying agent also acts as agent of the company, with full
power of substitution, to --

     present the LYONs identified in this purchase notice for transfer on the
     account books maintained by The Depository Trust Company (DTC) to, or upon
     the order of, the company;

     relevant security registrar; and

     receive the purchase price payable upon exercise of the option with respect
     to such LYONs, all in accordance with the terms of and conditions specified
     in the company notice and the indenture.

    The undersigned hereby covenants, agrees, represents and warrants, unless
this purchase notice is properly withdrawn as described above, that --

     if the LYONs identified in this purchase notice are not being surrendered
     to the paying agent at the time of delivery of this notice, the undersigned
     will surrender the LYONs to the paying agent, in accordance with the
     procedures of DTC for book-entry transfer to an account maintained by the
     paying agent for this purpose;

                                       2

                                 PART 2 -- CERTIFICATION -- Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:

                                 (1) The number shown on this form is my correct Taxpayer Identification
                                     Number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me),

                                 (2) I am not subject to backup withholding either because (a) I am exempt
                                     from backup withholding, (b) I have not been notified by the IRS that I am
                                     subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all
                                     interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no
                                     longer subject to backup withholding, and

                                 (3) I am a U.S. person (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

                                 return. However, if after being notified by the IRS that you were subject
                                 to backup withholding, you received another notification from the IRS that
                                 you are no longer subject to backup withholding, do not cross out item (2).
                                 If you are exempt from backup withholding, check the box in Part 1 and see

                                  INSTRUCTIONS

 1.  Delivery of purchase notice and surrender of LYONs. This
     purchase notice may be used by holders of Liquid Yield
     Option'TM' Notes due 2021 (Zero Coupon-Subordinated) (LYONs)
     of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., to exercise their option to
     require Vishay to purchase their LYONs at a purchase price
     of $602.77 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the
     LYONs on the purchase date of June 4, 2004. This purchase
     notice must be received by the paying agent at its address
     appearing on the first page of the notice prior to 5:00 p.m.
     New York City time on June 3, 2004, the day prior to the
     purchase date. LYONs with respect to which the option is
     exercised must be surrendered to the paying agent using the
     book-entry transfer procedures of The Depository Trust
     Company (DTC), either before, on or after the purchase date.
     Holders need not submit a physical purchase notice to the
     paying agent and may instead deliver an agent's message to
     the paying agent in accordance with the procedures of DTC,
     but only if the LYONs are at the time being surrendered to
     the paying agent by transferring them to the paying agent's
     account at DTC.

     IN ALL CASES, IN ORDER TO VALIDLY EXERCISE THE OPTION, THIS
     PURCHASE NOTICE (OR A FACSIMILE), PROPERLY COMPLETED, OR AN
     AGENT'S MESSAGE MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE PAYING AGENT PRIOR
     TO 5:00 P.M. NEW YORK CITY TIME ON JUNE 3, 2004 AT ITS
     ADDRESS APPEARING ABOVE.

     The term 'agent's message' means a message transmitted by
     DTC to, and received by, the paying agent and forming a part
     of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has
     received an express acknowledgment from the DTC participant
     surrendering the LYONs stating:

      the principal amount at maturity of the LYONs that have been
      surrendered by the participant;

      in the event the purchase price for the LYONs is ultimately
      payable entirely in cash because any of the conditions to
      payment of the purchase price in common stock is not
      satisfied prior to the close of business on the purchase
      date, whether the participant elects to withdraw some or
      all of the LYONs being surrendered, stating the principal
      amount at maturity to which the withdrawal relates, and/or
      to receive cash in respect of the purchase price for the
      LYONs not being withdrawn;

      that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by
      the term of the purchase notice; and

      that the company may enforce this agreement against the
      participant.

     The method of delivery of all documents, including this
     purchase notice and any other required documents, is at the
     election and risk of the exercising holder. If delivery is
     by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested,
     properly insured, is recommended.

 2.  Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required
     if this purchase notice is submitted for the account of an
     eligible guarantor institution, as defined in Rule 17Ad-15
     under the Exchange Act (referred to as an eligible
     institution).

     In all other cases, an eligible institution must guarantee
     the signature(s) on this purchase notice.

 3.  Guaranty of Delivery. If this purchase notice is not
     submitted for the account of an eligible institution and the
     LYONs to which this purchase notice relates are not being
     surrendered to the paying agent at the time of delivery of
     this purchase notice, an eligible institution must guarantee
     to the company delivery of confirmation of book-entry
     transfer of the LYONs to the paying agent's account at DTC.

                                       8

 4.  Signatures on purchase notice. If this purchase notice is
     signed on behalf of a participant appearing in a securities
     position listing with DTC, the name and address of the
     participant must correspond exactly to the name and address
     of the participant appearing in the listing. If this
     purchase notice is signed by a transferee of a DTC
     participant, this purchase notice must be accompanied by
     evidence of transfer satisfactory to the company. If any
     such transferee is acting through attorneys-in-fact,
     executors, administrators, trustees, guardians, partners,
     officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or
     representative capacity, such persons should so indicate
     when signing and must submit proper evidence satisfactory to
     the company of their authority so to act.

 5.  Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions; Return of
     Surrendered LYONs. If shares of common stock, any cash paid
     in respect of fractional shares or, if the company is
     required to pay the entire purchase price in cash, the cash
     purchase price is to be issued or paid other than by credit
     to the DTC account indicated in the box entitled 'LYONs to
     be Purchased,' the box entitled 'Special Issuance and
     Delivery Instructions' must be completed.

     Any LYONs surrendered to the paying agent as to which
     exercise of the option has been validly withdrawn, or with
     respect to which the option has not been validly exercised,
     will be returned by book-entry transfer for credit to the
     DTC account from which the LYONs were transferred to the
     paying agent.

 6.  Irregularities. The company will determine, in its sole
     discretion, all questions as to the validity of the exercise
     of the option (including time of receipt of the purchase
     notice or agent's message), the surrender of any LYONs and
     the form of any documents, and its determinations shall be
     final and binding on all parties. The company also reserves
     the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in
     the exercise of the option or the surrender of any LYON. The
     company's interpretation of the terms of the purchase notice
     (including these instructions) will be final and binding on
     all parties. None of the company, the paying agent or any
     other person is obligated to give notice of any defects or
     irregularities in the exercise of the option or the
     surrender of any LYON, and none of them will incur any
     liability for failure to give such notice.

 7.  Questions and Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies.
     Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the
     paying agent (call (212) 815-5098), and additional copies of
     the company notice and this purchase notice may also be
     obtained from the paying agent.

 8.  Withdrawal Rights. You may withdraw previously surrendered
     LYONs at any time until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on
     June 3, 2004. See the company notice for a more detailed
     description of withdrawal rights.

 9.  Transfer Taxes. If the purchase price is to be issued or
     paid to any persons other than the DTC participant from
     whose account the LYONs were surrendered to the paying
     agent, the amount of any transfer taxes payable on account
     of the transfer to such other person will be deducted from
     the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the
     payment of such taxes or an exemption therefrom is
     submitted.

10.  Important Tax Information. Under U.S. federal income tax
     law, a holder that surrenders LYONs is required to provide
     the paying agent with such holder's current taxpayer
     identification number ('TIN') on a properly completed
     Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9 (which is attached), or,
     alternatively, to establish another basis for an exemption
     from backup withholding. If the paying agent is not provided
     with the correct TIN, the holder may be subject to a $50
     penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In
     addition, all or a portion of the payments made to such
     holder with respect to LYONs purchased pursuant to the
     company notice may be subject to 28% backup withholding. The
     portion of the payments that may be subject to backup
     withholding is the greater of (i) the amount of cash
     received by the holder and (ii) the gain, if any, recognized
     by the holder on the LYONs surrendered.

                                       9

     If the holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for
     a number or intends to apply for a number in the near
     future, he should write 'Applied For' in the space provided
     for in the Substitute Form 9-W, and sign and date the
     Substitute Form 9-W. If 'Applied For' is written in the
     Substitute Form 9-W and payment is made with respect to the
     LYONs, the paying agent may retain 28% of the payments
     subject to back up withholding and either remit such amount
     to the IRS if such TIN is not provided within 60 days or pay
     over such retained amount to the holder upon the furnishing
     of a TIN within 60 days. See the enclosed Guidelines for
     Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification
     on Substitute Form 9-W for additional instructions

     Certain holders (including, among others, all corporations
     and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these
     backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order for
     a foreign individual to qualify as an exempt recipient, that
     holder must submit to the paying agent a properly completed
     Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, signed under
     penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual's exempt
     status. A Form W-8 BEN can be obtained from the paying
     agent.

     If backup withholding applies, the paying agent is required
     to withhold 28% of any payment made to the holder or other
     payee. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather,
     the federal income tax liability of persons subject to
     backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax
     withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes,
     a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service.
     The paying agent cannot refund amounts withheld by reason of
     backup withholding.
