For those consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company#8217;s ownership is less than 100 percent, the outside stockholders#8217; interests are shown as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Investments in affiliates over which the Company has significant influence but not a controlling interest are carried on the equity basis. Investments in affiliates over which the Company does not have significant influence are accounted for by the cost method. All intercompany transactions, accounts, and profits are eliminated. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Subsequent Events /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and in accordance with GAAP, the Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2010 through the date these financial statements were issued through the filing of this annual report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Revenue Recognition /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company recognizes revenue on product sales during the period when the sales process is complete. This generally occurs when products are shipped to the customer in accordance with terms of an agreement of sale, title and risk of loss have been transferred, collectibility is reasonably assured, and pricing is fixed or determinable. For a small percentage of sales where title and risk of loss passes at point of delivery, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery to the customer, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition are met. The Company historically has had agreements with distributors that provided limited rights of product return. The Company has modified these arrangements to allow distributors a limited credit for unsaleable products, which it terms a #8220;scrap allowance.#8221; Consistent with industry practice, the Company also has a #8220;stock, ship and debit#8221; program w hereby it considers requests by distributors for credits on previously purchased products that remain in distributors#8217; inventory, to enable the distributors to offer more competitive pricing. In addition, the Company has contractual arrangements whereby it provides distributors with protection against price reductions initiated by the Company after product is sold by the Company to the distributor and prior to resale by the distributor./font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company records a reduction of revenue during each period, and records a related accrued expense for the period, based upon its estimate of product returns, scrap allowances, #8220;stock, ship and debit#8221; credits, and price protection credits that will be attributable to sales recorded through the end of the period. The Company makes these estimates based upon sales levels to its distributors during the period, inventory levels at the distributors, current and projected market conditions, and historical experience under the programs. While the Company utilizes a number of different methodologies to estimate the accruals, all of the methodologies take into account sales levels to distributors during the relevant period, inventory levels at the distributors, current and projected market trends and conditions, recent and historical activity under the relevant programs, changes in program policies, and open r equests for credits. These procedures require the exercise of significant judgments. The Company believes that it has a reasonable basis to estimate future credits under the programs./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Royalty revenues, included in net revenues on the consolidated statements of operations, were $5,781,000, $5,710,000, and $2,996,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The Company records royalty revenue in accordance with agreed upon terms when performance obligations are satisfied, the amount is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Vishay earns royalties at the point of sale of products which incorporate licensed intellectual property. Accordingly, the amount of royalties recognized is determined based on periodic reporting to Vishay by its licensees, and based on judgments and estimates by Vishay management, which management considers reasonable./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Shipping and Handling Costs /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of products sold./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Research and Development Expenses /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The amount charged to expense for research and development (exclusive of purchased in-process research and development) aggregated $50,968,000, $50,745,000, and $63,161,000, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The Company spends additional amounts for the development of machinery and equipment for new processes and for cost reduction measures. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Grants /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Government grants received by certain subsidiaries, primarily in Israel, are recognized as income in accordance with the purpose of the specific contract and in the period in which the related expense is incurred. Grants recognized as a reduction of costs of products sold were $543,000, $688,000, and $1,386,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Deferred grant income was $2,788,000 and $2,526,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The grants are subject to certain conditions, including maintaining specified levels of employment for periods up to ten years. Noncompliance with such conditions could result in the repayment of grants. However, management expects that the Company will comply with all terms and conditions of the grants. /font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Income Taxes /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company#8217;s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances have been established for deferred tax assets which the Company believes do not meet GAAP criteria of #8220;more likely than not.#8221; This criterion requires a level of judgment regarding future taxable income, which may be revised due to changes in market conditions, ta x laws, or other factors. If the Company#8217;s assumptions and estimates change in the future, valuation allowances established may be increased, resulting in increased tax expense. Conversely, if the Company is ultimately able to utilize all or a portion of the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been established, then the related portion of the valuation allowance can be released, resulting in decreased tax expense. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"At the present time, substantially all earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries are expected to be reinvested outside of the United States indefinitely. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal and state income taxes on these foreign earnings. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits), state income taxes, incremental foreign income taxes, and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries./font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Cash and cash equivalents includes demand deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Highly liquid investments with maturities greater than three months are classified as short-term investments. There were no investments classified as short-term investments at December 31, 2010 or 2009. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Allowance for Doubtful Accounts /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The allowance is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of risk that are based on historical trends and an evaluation of the impact of current and projected economic conditions. The Company evaluates the past-due status of its trade receivables based on contractual terms of sale. If the financial condition of the Company#8217;s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Bad debt expense (income realized upon subsequent collection) was $(838,000), $5,669,000, and $534,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Inventories /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market. Inventories are adjusted for estimated obsolescence and written down to net realizable value based upon estimates of future demand, technology developments, and market conditions. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Property and Equipment /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Property and equipment is carried at cost and is depreciated principally by the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment are being depreciated over useful lives of seven to ten years. Buildings and building improvements are being depreciated over useful lives of twenty to forty years. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the assets are placed in service. The estimated cost to complete construction in progress at December 31, 2010 was approximately $32,300,000. Depreciation of capital lease assets is included in total depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was $169,724,000, $206,009,000, and $199,847,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Gains and losses on the disposal of assets which do not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations are included in the determination of operating margin (within selling, gen eral, and administrative expenses). Individually material gains and losses on disposal are separately disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements./font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets/font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but rather are tested for impairment at least annually. These tests are performed more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Certain of the Company#8217;s tradenames have been assigned indefinite useful lives./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Patents and acquired technology are being amortized over useful lives of seven to twenty-five years. Capitalized software is amortized over periods of three to ten years, primarily included in costs of products sold on the consolidated statements of operations. Customer relationships are amortized over useful lives of five to fifteen years. Noncompete agreements are amortized over periods of five to ten years. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"GAAP prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit and compares that fair value to the net book value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using various valuation techniques, including a comparable companies market multiple approach and a discounted cash flow analysis (an income approach). /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"If the net book value of the reporting unit were to exceed the fair value, the Company would then perform the second step of the impairment test, which requires allocation of the reporting unit#8217;s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit#8217;s goodwill is less than its carrying amount. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"As more fully described in Note 3, in light of a sustained decline in market capitalization that Vishay and its peer group companies experienced in 2008, and other factors, Vishay determined that an impairment test was necessary as of the end of the second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters of 2008, and recorded goodwill impairment charges in each of those quarters./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company#8217;s required annual impairment test was completed as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year. The interim impairment test performed as of September 27, 2008, the last day of the 2008 third fiscal quarter, was effectively the Company#8217;s annual impairment test for 2008. Subsequent to recording the goodwill impairment charges in 2008, there was no remaining goodwill recorded on the consolidated balance sheet./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The fair value of the tradenames is measured as the discounted cash flow savings realized from owning such tradenames and not having to pay a royalty for their use./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Also as more fully described in Note 3, prior to completing the interim assessment of goodwill for impairment during the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2008, the Company performed interim impairment tests for certain indefinite-lived intangible assets. As a result of those assessments, the Company recorded impairment charges during the third fiscal quarter of 2008 related to certain tradenames. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The required annual impairment test of tradenames is completed as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year. The interim impairment test performed as of September 27, 2008, the last day of the 2008 fiscal third quarter, was effectively the Company#8217;s annual impairment test for 2008. There was no impairment identified through the annual impairment tests completed in 2010 or 2009./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Upon determining that an intangible asset classified as indefinite-lived is impaired, the Company reassesses the useful life of the impaired assets and begins to amortize the remaining carrying value over that useful life if it is determined that the asset no longer has an indefinite useful life./font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Impairment of Long-Lived Assets /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The carrying value of long-lived assets held-and-used, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, is evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. The carrying value of a long-lived asset group is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from such asset group are separately identifiable and are less than the carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset group. Fair market value is determined primarily using present value techniques based on projected cash flows from the asset group. Losses on long-lived assets held-for-sale, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for disposal costs./fo nt/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Available-for-Sale Securities /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Other assets include investments in marketable securities which are classified as available-for-sale. These assets include assets that are held in trust related to the Company#8217;s non-qualified pension and deferred compensation plans (see Note 11) and assets that are intended to fund a portion of the Company#8217;s other postretirement benefit obligations outside of the U.S. These assets are reported at fair value, based on quoted market prices as of the end of the reporting period. Unrealized gains and losses are reported, net of their related tax consequences, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders#8217; equity until sold. At the time of sale the assets that are held in trust related to the Company#8217;s non-qualified pension and deferred compensation plans, any gains (losses) calculated by the specific identification method are recognized as a reduction (increase ) to benefits expense, within selling, general, and administrative expenses. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Financial Instruments /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of its business, including from time to time, derivative financial instruments. Additionally, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety, but that include embedded derivative features. The convertible senior debentures issued on November 9, 2010 contain embedded derivatives that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, outstanding derivative instruments were not material. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company reports derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair values. The accounting for changes in fair value depends upon the purpose of the derivative instrument and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. For instruments designated as hedges, the effective portion of gains or losses is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion, if any, is reported in current period net earnings (loss). Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, including embedded derivatives, are recorded in current period net earnings (loss)./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company has in the past used interest rate swap agreements to modify variable rate obligations to fixed rate obligations, thereby reducing exposure to market rate fluctuations. The Company has also in the past used financial instruments such as forward exchange contracts to hedge a portion, but not all, of its firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies. The purpose of the Company#8217;s foreign currency management is to minimize the effect of exchange rate changes on actual cash flows from foreign currency denominated transactions./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. /font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Foreign Currency Translation /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company has significant operations outside of the United States. The Company finances its operations in Europe and certain locations in Asia in local currencies, and accordingly, these subsidiaries utilize the local currency as their functional currency. The Company#8217;s operations in Israel and most significant locations in Asia are largely financed in U.S. dollars, and accordingly, these subsidiaries utilize the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"For those subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets have been translated at the rate of exchange as of the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments do not impact the consolidated results of operations and are reported as a separate component of stockholders#8217; equity. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. While the translation of revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars does not directly impact the statement of operations, the translation effectively increases or decreases the U.S. dollar equivalent of revenues generated and expenses incurred in those foreign currencies. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"For those foreign subsidiaries where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, all foreign currency financial statement amounts are remeasured into U.S. dollars. Exchange gains and losses arising from remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated results of operations. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Stock-Based Compensation /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity (or liability) instruments issued. Compensation cost is recognized over the period that an officer, employee, or non-employee director provides service in exchange for the award. For options and restricted stock units subject to graded vesting, the Company recognizes expense over the service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Vishay applies the modified prospective transition method to account for employee stock options granted prior to the adoption of the accounting guidance in ASC Topic 718 on January 1, 2006. Under the modified prospective transition method, the fair value of previously granted but unvested equity awards is recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations from the date of adoption of the guidance, and prior periods are not restated. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Commitments and Contingencies /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. The costs for a specific environmental remediation site are discounted if the aggregate amount of the obligation and the amount and timing of the cash payments for that site are fixed or reliably determinable based upon information derived from the remediation plan for that site. Accrued liabilities for environmental matters recorded at December 31, 2010 and 2009 do not include claims against third parties. /font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Self-Insurance Programs /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms to provide for the potential liabilities for workers#8217; compensation, general liability, property damage, director and officers#8217; liability, and vehicle liability./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"As part of its self-insurance program for certain risks, the Company created a wholly-owned captive insurance entity in 2007. At December 31, 2010, the captive insurance entity provides only property and general liability insurance, although it is licensed to also provide casualty and directors and officers#8217; insurance. The captive insurance entity had no amounts accrued for outstanding claims at December 31, 2010 and 2009. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Certain cash and investments held by the captive insurance entity are restricted primarily for the purpose of potential insurance claims. Restricted cash of $8,987,000 and $6,700,000 is included in other noncurrent assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing required statutory reserves of the captive insurance entity. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Convertible Debentures /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company separately accounts for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash in a manner that reflects the Company#8217;s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The liability component at issuance is recognized at fair value, based on the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature. A discount is recorded if debentures are issued at a coupon rate which is below the rate of a similar instrument that did not have a conversion feature at issuance. The equity component is based on the excess of the principal amount of the debentures over the fair value of the liability component, after adjusting for an allocation of debt issuance costs and the deferred tax impact, and is recorded as capital in excess of par. Debt discounts are amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the debt./font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"In January 2010, the FASB staff updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820. The updated guidance (i) requires separate disclosure of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements, (ii) requires disclosure of Level 3 fair value measurements activity on a gross basis, (iii) clarifies existing disaggregation requirements, (iv) and clarifies existing input and valuation technique disclosure requirements. The updated guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 fair value measurement disclosure requirements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Vishay adopted the aspects of the guidance that are currently effective as of January 1, 2010 and will adopt the remaining guidance on January 1, 2011. The adoption of the effective guidance had no effect on the Company#8217;s financial position, results of o perations, or liquidity and the adoption of the remaining guidance is not expected to have any effect on the Company#8217;s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"In February 2010, the FASB staff updated the accounting guidance related to subsequent events. The updated guidance continues to require evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued, but removes the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been issued. Vishay adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company#8217;s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Reclassifications /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. /font/div div#160;/div

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]	div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; text-decoration: underline"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Note 3 #8211; Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets/font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business acquired over the fair value of the related net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually. These impairment tests must be performed more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"GAAP prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit and compares the fair value to the net book value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using various valuation techniques, including a comparable companies market multiple approach and a discounted cash flow analysis (an income approach). The comparable companies utilized in the evaluation are generally the members of the Company#8217;s peer group included in the presentation of the stock performance graph in Item 5 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"In step two, the Company determines the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if Vishay had acquired those business units on the measurement date. Specifically, the Company must allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets of that unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical calculation that would yield the implied fair value of goodwill. The impairment loss is measured as the difference between the book value of the goodwill and the implied fair value of the goodwill computed in step two./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Fair value of reporting units, and the underlying assets and liabilities of those reporting units, is measured at a point in time, and reflects specific market conditions as of the measurement date. The Company performed its annual impairment test as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter. In light of a sustained decline in market capitalization that Vishay and its peer group companies experienced in each successive quarter of 2008, and other factors, the Company determined that impairment tests were necessary as of the end of the second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters of 2008, and recorded goodwill impairment charges in each of those quarters. The interim test performed as of the last day of the third fiscal quarter of 2008, was effectively the Company#8217;s annual impairment test for 2008. Subsequent to recording these impairment charges, there was no remaining goodwill recorded on the consolidated balanc e sheet. In total, Vishay recorded goodwill impairment charges aggregating $1,696.2 million in year ended December 31, 2008./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The determination of the fair value of the reporting units and the allocation of that value to individual assets and liabilities within those reporting units requires Vishay to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies; control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industry in which the Company competes; the discount rate; terminal growth rates; and forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures. The allocation requires several analyses to determine fair value of assets and liabilities including, among others, completed technology, tradenames, in-process research and development, customer relationships, and certain property and equipment (valued at replacement costs). /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual financial results could differ from those estimates. In addition, changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting unit or the amount of the goodwill impairment charge. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The goodwill impairment charge is noncash in nature and did not affect the Company#8217;s liquidity, cash flows from operating activities, or debt covenants, and will not have a material impact on future operations. /font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Prior to completing the interim assessment of goodwill for impairment during the second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters of 2008, the Company performed a recoverability test of certain long-lived assets and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets. As a result of those assessments, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $27 million during the third fiscal quarter of 2008 related to indefinite-lived intangible assets (certain tradenames). The fair value of the tradenames was measured as the discounted cash flow savings realized from owning such tradenames and not having to pay a royalty for their use./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The remaining balances of the tradenames acquired in the previous transactions, aggregating approximately $35.4 million as of the date of recording the impairment charge, were reclassified to definite-lived intangible assets concurrent with the recording of the impairment charge. The Company then began amortizing the remaining balances of these tradenames over a ten-year life. The Company expects to continue to use such tradenames. However, the identified impairment and expected future cash flows associated with the tradenames reflect the existence of competitive, economic, and other factors that will limit the useful life of these tradenames. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment charge was noncash in nature and did not affect Vishay#8217;s liquidity, cash flows from operating activities, or debt covenants, and will not have a material impact on future operations. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Other intangible assets are as follows /fontfont style="display: inline;

Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 4 – Restructuring and Severance Costs and Related Asset Write-Downs

Restructuring and severance costs reflect the cost reduction programs implemented by the Company. These include the closing of facilities and the termination of employees. Restructuring and severance costs include one-time exit costs, severance benefits pursuant to an on-going benefit arrangement, and related pension curtailment and settlement charges. Severance costs also include executive severance and charges for the fair value of stock options of certain former employees which were modified such that they did not expire at termination. Restructuring costs are expensed during the period in which the Company determines it will incur those costs and all requirements of accrual are met. Because these costs are recor ded based upon estimates, actual expenditures for the restructuring activities may differ from the initially recorded costs. If the initial estimates are too low or too high, the Company could be required either to record additional expenses in future periods or to reverse part of the previously recorded charges. Asset write-downs are principally related to buildings and equipment that will not be used subsequent to the completion of restructuring plans, and cannot be sold for amounts in excess of carrying value.

Year ended December 31, 2010

The Company did not initiate any new restructuring projects in the year ended December 31, 2010 and thus did not record any restructuring and severance costs expenses in the year.

Year ended December 31, 2009

The Company recorded restructuring and severance costs of $37,874,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Employee termination costs were $33,142,000, covering technical, production, administrative, and support employees in nearly every country in which the Company operates. Severance costs include net pension settlement charges and credits for employees in the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Philippines. The Company also incurred $4,732,000 of other exit costs, principally lease termination costs related to facility closures and $681,000 of asset write-downs during the year ended December 31, 2009. The restructuring and severance costs were incurred primarily in response to the declining business conditions experienced in the second half of 2008 and recessionary trends which continued into 2009.

The following table summarizes activity to date related to restructuring programs initiated in 2009 (in thousands, except for number of employees):

Most of the accrued restructuring liability, currently shown in other accrued expenses, is expected to be paid by December 31, 2011. The payment terms related to these restructuring programs varies, usually based on local customs and laws. Most severance amounts are paid in a lump sum at termination, while some payments are structured to be paid in installments.

Year ended December 31, 2008

The Company recorded restructuring and severance costs of $62,537,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Employee termination costs were $58,601,000, covering technical, production, administrative, and support employees located in nearly every country in which the Company operates. Through the first nine months of 2008, these restructuring activities were part of the Company’s on-going cost reduction initiatives. The significant increase in restructuring activities during the fourth quarter of 2008 was substantially attributable to the declining business conditions experienced in the second half of 2008. Severance costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 also include executive severance (see Note 13) and a pension settlement charge of $2,894,000 related to employees in the Republic of China (Taiwan) (see Note 11). The Company also incurred $3,936,000 of other exit costs, principally related to the closures o f facilities in Brazil and Germany. The restructuring and severance costs were incurred as part of the continuing cost reduction programs currently being implemented by the Company and in response to the declining business conditions experienced in the second half of 2008.

As a result of the decision to close its facility in Brazil, the Company completed a long-lived asset impairment analysis during the first fiscal quarter of 2008 and determined that various fixed assets and intangible assets were impaired. The Company recorded fixed asset write-downs of $3,419,000 and intangible asset write-downs of $776,000. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008, the Company also recorded asset write-downs of $878,000 to reduce the carrying value of buildings. The buildings had been vacated as part of restructuring activities.

Also during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company sold land and buildings that had been vacated as part of its restructuring programs and recognized a gain of $4,510,000, which is recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses.

The carrying value of the net deferred tax asset is based on the Company’s assessment that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize these assets after consideration of all available positive and negative evidence.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had the following significant net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes (in thousands):

			Expires
Austria	$	12,263	No expiration
Belgium		197,818	No expiration
Brazil		20,813	No expiration

France		36,283	No expiration
Germany		47,052	No expiration
Israel		182,054	No expiration
Netherlands		112,235	No expiration

Approximately $150,548,000 of the carryforwards in Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands resulted from the Company’s acquisition of BCcomponents in 2002. Valuation allowances of $44,790,000 and $49,043,000, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been recorded through goodwill for these acquired net operating losses. Prior to the adoption of updated guidance in ASC Topic 805 on January 1, 2009, if tax benefits were recognized through the utilization of these acquired net operating losses, the benefits of such loss utilization were recorded as a reduction to goodwill. After the adoption of the updated guidance on January 1, 2009, the benefits of such losses are recorded as a reduction of tax expense. In 2010 and 2009, the tax benefit recognized through a reduction of acquisition-date valuation allowances recorded as a reduction of tax expense was $567,000 and $980,000, respectively. In 2008, tax benef its recognized through reductions of the valuation allowance recorded through goodwill were $3,378,000.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had the following significant tax credit carryforwards available (in thousands):

			Expires
Federal Alternative Minimum Tax	$	8,779	No expiration
California Research Credit		4,210	No expiration

At December 31, 2010, no provision has been made for U.S. federal and state income taxes on approximately $1,852,421,000 of foreign earnings, which the Company continues to expect to be reinvested outside of the United States indefinitely. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits), state income taxes, incremental foreign income taxes, and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.

In connection with the repurchase of the convertible subordinated notes on August 1, 2008 (see Note 6), the Company repatriated approximately $250 million of cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries. This repatriation of cash resulted in net tax expense of approximately $9.9 million, recorded in the second quarter of 2008, after the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits as a result of this repatriation. The Company expected that it would need to repatriate additional cash to repay an outstanding term loan, and recorded additional tax expense on the expected repatriation of $112.5 million because such earnings are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. At the present time, the Company expects that the remaining cash and profits generated by foreign subsidiaries will continue to be reinvested indefinitely.

Net income taxes paid (refunded) were $23,322,000, ($4,714,000), and $72,116,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when we believe that certain positions might be challenged despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances and the provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate.

These accruals for tax-related uncertainties are based on management’s best estimate of potential tax exposures. When particular matters arise, a number of years may elapse before such matters are audited by tax authorities and finally resolved. Favorable resolution of such matters could be recognized as a reduction to our effective tax rate in the year of resolution. Unfavorable resolution of any particular issue could increase the effective tax rate and may require the use of cash in the year of resolution.

Until the spin-off of VPG on July 6, 2010, VPG was included in the Company’s consolidated federal income tax returns and will be included with the Company and/or certain of the Company’s subsidiaries in applicable combined or unitary state and local income tax returns. In conjunction with the spin-off, the Company and VPG entered a tax matters agreement under which the Company generally will be liable for all U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes attributable to VPG with respect to taxable periods ending on or before the distribution date except to the extent that VPG has a liability for such taxes on its books at the time of the spin-off. The Company is also principally responsible for managing any income tax audits by the various tax jurisdictions for pre-spin-off periods. The Company has fully indemnified VPG of tax exposures arising prior to the spin-off.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits of $3.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company recognized approximately $1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, in interest and penalties.

The following table summarizes changes in the liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

	Years ended December 31,

The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. federal income tax returns, as well as income tax returns in multiple U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service concluded its examinations of Vishay’s U.S. federal tax returns for all tax years through 2002. Because of net operating losses, the Company’s U.S. federal tax returns for 2003 and later years remain subject to examination. Examinations of most principal subsidiaries in Israel through the 2007 tax year were concluded in 2010. The tax returns of significant non-U.S. subsidiaries are currently under examination in Germany (2005 through 2008), India (2004 through 2009), China (2006 through 2009), and the Republic of China (Taiwan) (2000 through 2008). The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to income taxes in other taxing jurisdictions in the U.S. and around the world, many of which are still open to examinations. lt;/font/div div#160;/div

Credit Facility

On December 1, 2010, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement with a consortium of banks led by JPMorgan as administrative agent (the “2010 Credit Facility”). On December 1, 2010, Vishay borrowed $240 million under the 2010 Credit Facility to repay all of the outstanding amounts under its previously existing revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks led by Comerica Bank (the “Comerica Facility”) that was scheduled to expire on April 20, 2012. This amount remains outstanding at December 31, 2010.

The 2010 Credit Facility provides a commitment of up to $450 million through December 1, 2015. The 2010 Credit Facility also provides for the ability of Vishay to request up to $100 million of incremental revolving commitments, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an interest margin. The applicable interest margin is based on Vishay’s then current leverage ratio. Based on Vishay’s leverage ratio at December 31, 2010, borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.65%. Vishay is also required to pay facility commitment fees of 0.35% per annum on the entire commitment amount.

The borrowings under the 2010 Credit Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all assets located in the United States, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment, and general intangibles (but excluding real estate, intellectual property registered or licensed for use in, or arising under the laws of, any country other than the United States, and bank and securities accounts) of Vishay and certain significant domestic subsidiaries, and pledges of stock in certain significant domestic and foreign subsidiaries and are guaranteed by certain significant subsidiaries. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are permitted to borrow under the 2010 Credit Facility, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions. Any borrowings by these subsidiaries under the 2010 Credit Facility are guaranteed by Vishay. The 2010 Credit Facility also restricts the Company from, among other things, incurring indebtedness, incurring liens on its assets, making investments and acquisitions, making asset sales, and paying cash dividends and making other restricted payments, and requires the Company to comply with other covenants, including the maintenance of specific financial ratios.

The 2010 Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to pay principal or interest, failure to pay or default under other material debt, misrepresentation or breach of warranty, violation of certain covenants, a change of control, the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, the insolvency of Vishay or certain of its significant subsidiaries, and the rendering of a judgment in excess of $25 million against Vishay or certain of its significant subsidiaries. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the 2010 Credit Facility, Vishay’s obligations under the credit facility may be accelerated and the lending commitments under the credit facility terminated.

At December 31, 2010, there was $210,000,000 available under the 2010 Credit Facility. Letters of credit totaling $8,230,000 were originally issued under the Comerica Facility and remain outstanding at December 31, 2010. These letters of credit will be replaced by letters of credit under the 2010 Credit Facility as they expire in the next year.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had $125 million outstanding on the revolving credit commitment and letters of credit totaling $7.9 million under the Comerica Facility. Interest on the revolving credit commitment was payable at prime or other interest rate options. At December 31, 2009, borrowings under the revolving credit commitment, based on the then-current leverage ratio, bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.52%. At December 31, 2009, the Company also had $87.5 million outstanding on the term loan, under the Comerica Facility. At December 31, 2009, borrowings under the term loan, based on the then-current leverage ratio, bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.50%. During 2010, the Company made regular principal repayments on the term loan of $12.5 million, and refinanced the remaining $75 million first with the revolving credit commitment under the Comerica Facility in connection with the 2.25% convertible debenture offering and then with the 2010 Credit Facility.

Convertible Senior Debentures, due 2040

On November 3, 2010, Vishay announced the offering of $275 million principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior debentures due 2040 to qualified institutional investors. Under the terms of the Comerica Facility, Vishay was required to apply cash proceeds from the offering to prepay the then-current outstanding term loan under the Comerica Facility (balance of $75 million). Vishay used the remaining net proceeds from this offering, together with new net borrowings under its Comerica Facility and cash on hand, to repurchase 21,721,959 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $275 million. The transactions closed on November 9, 2010.

GAAP requires an issuer to separately account for the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest costs are recognized in subsequent periods. The resulting discount on the debt is amortized as non-cash interest expense in future periods.

The carrying values of the liability and equity components of the convertible debentures are reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):

	December 31,
	2010
Liability component:
Principal amount of the debentures	$	275,000
Unamortized discount		(178,679	)
Embedded derivative		319
Carrying value of liability component	$	96,640

Equity component - net carrying value	$	110,094

Interest is payable on the debentures semi-annually at a rate of 2.25% per annum; however, the remaining debt discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense using an effective annual interest rate of 8.00% based on the Company’s estimated nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. In addition to ordinary interest, beginning on November 15, 2020, contingent interest will accrue in certain circumstances relating to the trading price of the debentures and under certain other circumstances.

Interest expense related to the debentures is reflected on the consolidated statement of operations as follows (in thousands):

	Year ended
	December 31,
	2010
Contractual coupon interest	$	773
Non-cash amortization of debt discount		188
Non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs		11
Non-cash change in value of derivative liability		(55	)
Total interest expense related to the debentures	$	917

Prior to April 15, 2040, the holders may only convert their debentures under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending April 2, 2011 if the sale price of Vishay common stock reaches 130% of the conversion price ($18.04) for a specified period; (2) the trading price of the debentures falls below 98% of the product of the sale price of Vishay’s common stock and the conversion rate for a specified period; (3) Vishay calls any or all of the debentures for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the third scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. None of these conditions had occurred as of December 31, 2010.

The debentures are initially convertible, subject to certain conditions, into cash, shares of Vishay’s common stock or a combination thereof, at Vishay’s option, at an initial conversion rate of 72.0331 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures. This represents an initial effective conversion price of approximately $13.88 per share. This initial conversion price represents a premium of 12.5% to the closing price of Vishay’s common stock on November 3, which was $12.34 per share. At the direction of its Board of Directors, Vishay intends, upon conversion, to repay the principal amount of the debentures in cash and settle any additional amounts in shares. Vishay must provide additional shares upon conversion if there is a “fundamental change” in the business as defined in the indenture governing the debentures.

Vishay may not redeem the debentures prior to November 20, 2020, except in connection with certain tax-related events. On or after November 20, 2020 and prior to the maturity date, Vishay may redeem for cash all or part of the debentures at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of Vishay’s common stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period prior to the date on which Vishay provides notice of redemption.

On November 3, 2010, Vishay entered into a consent letter with the lenders under the Comerica Facility, pursuant to which the Company obtained consent under the agreement governing the Comerica Facility to allow the Company to issue the debentures and execute the share repurchases described above.

Exchangeable Unsecured Notes, due 2102

On December 13, 2002, Vishay issued $105,000,000 in nominal (or principal) amount of its floating rate unsecured exchangeable notes due 2102 in connection with an acquisition. The notes are governed by a note instrument and a put and call agreement dated December 13, 2002. The notes may be put to Vishay in exchange for shares of its common stock and, under certain circumstances, may be called by Vishay for similar consideration.

Under the terms of the put and call agreement, by reason of the spin-off, Vishay was required to take action so that the existing notes are deemed exchanged as of the date of the spin-off, for a combination of new notes of Vishay reflecting a lower principal amount of the notes and new notes issued by VPG.

Based on the relative trading prices of Vishay and VPG common stock on the ten trading days following the spinoff, Vishay retained the liability for an aggregate $95,041,540 principal amount of exchangeable notes effective July 6, 2010. The assumption of a portion of the liability by VPG was recorded as a reduction in parent net investment just prior to the completion of the spin-off.

The notes are subject to a put and call agreement under which the holders may at any time put the notes to Vishay in exchange for 6,176,471 shares of Vishay’s common stock in the aggregate, and Vishay may call the notes in exchange for cash or for shares of its common stock at any time after January 2, 2018. The put/call rate of the Vishay notes is $15.39 per share of common stock.

The notes bear interest at LIBOR. Interest continues to be payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each calendar year. The interest rate could be further reduced to 50% of LIBOR after December 31, 2010 if the price of Vishay’s common stock is above $40.73 per share for thirty or more consecutive trading days.

Convertible Subordinated Notes, due 2023

In 2003, Vishay sold $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3-5/8% convertible subordinated notes due 2023. Holders of substantially all (99.6%) of the 3-5/8% notes exercised their option to require Vishay to repurchase their notes on August 1, 2008. The remaining notes, with an aggregate principal amount of $1,870,000, were redeemed at Vishay’s option on August 1, 2010. The notes are classified as a current liability as of December 31, 2009 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Other Borrowings Information

Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt, based on the terms stated in the respective agreements, are as follows (in thousands):

2011	$	-
2012		-
2013		-
2014		-
2015		240,000
Thereafter		370,042

The annual maturities of long-term debt are based on the amount required to settle the obligation. Accordingly, the discount associated with the convertible debentures due 2040 is excluded from the calculation of the annual maturities of long-term debt in the table above.

On October 1, 2010, Vishay repaid $10 million of the $13.5 million balance on an Israeli Bank Loan. Vishay repaid the remaining $3.5 million balance in December 2010. $13.5 million of the loan balance was classified as a long-term liability as of December 31, 2009 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as it was not due to be repaid in 2010.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had committed and uncommitted short-term credit lines with various U.S. and foreign banks aggregating approximately $33.3 million, which was substantially unused. At December 31, 2009, the Company had committed and uncommitted short-term credit lines with various U.S. and foreign banks aggregating approximately $60.2 million, which was substantially unused.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had letters of credit totaling approximately $1.2 million in addition to letters of credit issued under the Comerica Facility.

Interest paid was $9,120,000, $10,243,000, and $21,722,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

See Note 18 for further discussion on the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt.

Note 11 – Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company maintains various retirement benefit plans. GAAP requires employers to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan, measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation, in its balance sheet. The recognition of the funded status on the balance sheet requires employers to recognize actuarial items (such as actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs, and transition obligations) as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax.

The following table summarizes amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets associated with these various retirement benefit plans (in thousands):

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

U.S. Pension Plans

The Company maintains several defined benefit pension plans which covered most full-time U.S. employees. These include pension plans which are “qualified” under Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code, and “non-qualified” pension plans which provide defined benefits primarily to U.S. employees whose benefits under the qualified pension plan would be limited by ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. Pension benefits earned are generally based on years of service and compensation during active employment.

Qualified U.S. Pension Plans

The qualified U.S. pension plans include both contributory and non-contributory plans. The Company’s principal qualified U.S. pension plan (the Vishay Retirement Plan) was funded through Company and participant contributions to an irrevocable trust fund. The Company’s other qualified U.S. pension plans, which were assumed as a result of past acquisitions, were funded only through Company contributions.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company adopted amendments to the Vishay Retirement Plan such that effective January 1, 2009, the plan was frozen. Pursuant to these amendments, no new employees may participate in the plan, no further participant contributions were required or permitted, and no further benefits shall accrue after December 31, 2008. Benefits accumulated as of December 31, 2008 will be paid to employees upon retirement, and the Company will likely need to make additional cash contributions to the plan to fund this accumulated benefit obligation. To mitigate the loss in benefits of these employees, effective January 1, 2009, the Company increased the Company-match portion of its 401(k) defined contribution savings plan for employees impacted by the pension freeze.

The Company’s other qualified U.S. pension plans had all been effectively frozen in prior years.

Non-qualified U.S. Pension Plans

The Company’s principal non-qualified U.S. pension plan (the Vishay Non-qualified Retirement Plan) was a contributory pension plan designed to provide similar defined benefits to covered U.S. employees whose benefits under the Vishay Retirement Plan would be limited by ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. The Vishay Non-qualified Retirement Plan is identical in construction to the Vishay Retirement Plan, except that the plan is not qualified under ERISA.

The Vishay Non-qualified Retirement Plan, like all non-qualified plans, is considered to be unfunded. The Company maintains a non-qualified trust, referred to as a “rabbi” trust, to fund benefit payments under this plan. Rabbi trust assets are subject to creditor claims under certain conditions and are not the property of employees. Therefore, they are accounted for as other noncurrent assets. Assets held in trust related to the non-qualified pension plan were approximately $15 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009. Effective July 6, 2010, $1.3 million of these assets were transferred to VPG equal to the non-qualified pension liabilities of employees of VPG, which were retained by VPG.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company adopted amendments to the Vishay Non-Qualified Retirement Plan such that effective January 1, 2009, the plan was frozen. Pursuant to these amendments, no new employees may participate in the plans, no further participant contributions were required or permitted, and no further benefits shall accrue after December 31, 2008. Benefits accumulated as of December 31, 2008 will be paid to employees upon retirement, and the Company will likely need to make additional cash contributions to the rabbi trust to fund this accumulated benefit obligation. To mitigate the loss in benefits of these employees, effective January 1, 2009, the Company increased the Company-match portion of its 401(k) defined contribution savings plan for employees impacted by the pension freeze.

The Company also maintains other pension plans which provide supplemental defined benefits primarily to former U.S. employees whose benefits under qualified pension plans were limited by ERISA. These non-qualified plans are all non-contributory plans, and are considered to be unfunded.

In 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Felix Zandman, its Executive Chairman and then-Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company will provide an annual retirement benefit equal to 50% of his average base pay and bonus for the five years preceding his retirement (but not to exceed $1 million annually). These pension benefits are unfunded and fully vested.

On June 16, 2010, the Compensation Committee determined to modify Dr. Gerald Paul’s and the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors determined to modify Mr. Marc Zandman’s employment arrangements such that upon any termination (other than for cause) after attaining age 62, the executive would be entitled to the same payments and benefits he would have received if his respective employment was terminated by Vishay without cause or by the respective executive for good reason. These modifications were included in formal amendments signed on August 8, 2010. The expense associated with the modifications to the employment arrangements of Dr. Gerald Paul and Mr. Marc Zandman effectively represents a defined retirement benefit that will be recognized over the remaining service period of the individuals.

Non-U.S. Pension Plans

The Company provides pension and similar benefits to employees of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries consistent with local practices. Pension benefits earned are generally based on years of service and compensation during active employment.

See Note 10 for the pretax, tax effect and after tax amounts included in other comprehensive income during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008. The estimated actuarial items for the defined benefit pensions plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic pension cost during 2011 is $11.9 million.

The net curtailment and settlement losses for 2009 are primarily related to the Company’s restructuring plans in the Philippines and the Republic of China (Taiwan). The settlement losses for 2008 are primarily related to the Company’s restructuring plans in the Republic of China (Taiwan). See Note 4.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 of the respective years:

	U.S.	Non-U.S.	U.S.	Non-U.S.
	Plans	Plans	Plans	Plans
Discount rate	5.50%	4.50%	5.75%	5.19%
Rate of compensation increase	0.00%	2.19%	0.00%	2.34%

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the net periodic pension costs for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

	Years ended December 31,
	2010		2009
	U.S.	Non-U.S.	U.S.	Non-U.S.
	Plans	Plans	Plans	Plans
Discount rate	5.75%	5.19%	6.25%	5.27%
Rate of compensation increase	0.00%	2.34%	0.00%	2.42%
Expected return on plan assets	8.50%	4.89%	8.50%	5.17%

The plans’ expected return on assets is based on management’s expectations of long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the underlying investment portfolios. In establishing this assumption, management considers historical and expected returns for the asset classes in which the plans are invested, advice from pension consultants and investment advisors, and current economic and capital market conditions.

The investment mix between equity securities and fixed income securities is based upon achieving a desired return, balancing higher return, more volatile equity securities, and lower return, less volatile fixed income securities. The Company’s U.S. defined benefit plans are invested in diversified portfolios of public-market equity and fixed income securities. Investment allocations are made across a range of markets, industry sectors, capitalization sizes, and, in the case of fixed income securities, maturities and credit quality. The target allocation has historically been approximately 60% invested in equity securities and 40% invested in fixed income securities. The Company’s non-U.S. defined benefit plan investments are based on local laws and customs. Most plans invest in cash and local government fixed income securities, although plans in certain countries have investments in equity securities. T he plans do not invest in securities of Vishay or its subsidiaries. Negative investment returns could ultimately affect the funded status of the plans, requiring additional cash contributions.

Plan assets are comprised of:

	December 31, 2010				December 31, 2009
	U.S.		Non-U.S.		U.S.		Non-U.S.
	Plans		Plans		Plans		Plans

2016-2020		104,836		79,687

The Company anticipates making contributions to U.S. defined benefit pension plans of between $12 million and $16 million in 2011.

The Company’s anticipated 2011 contributions for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans will approximate the expected benefit payments disclosed above.

Other Postretirement Benefits

In the U.S., the Company maintains two unfunded non-pension postretirement plans which are funded as costs are incurred. One of these plans was amended effective January 1, 2009, which reduced the benefit obligations of the Company. The Company also maintains two unfunded non-pension postretirement plans at two European subsidiaries.

In 2004, the Company entered into formal employment agreements with six of its executives. These employment agreements provide medical benefits for these executives and their surviving spouses for life, up to a $15,000 annual premium value per person. The Company subsequently entered into similar agreements with additional executives. These benefits are fully vested, and accordingly, the obligations represented prior service costs which will be amortized over the average remaining expected services period for these executives.

The estimated actuarial items for the other postretirement benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost during 2011 are not material and approximate the amounts amortized in 2010.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 of the respective years:

	U.S.	Non-U.S.	U.S.	Non-U.S.
	Plans	Plans	Plans	Plans

The impact of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit cost and postretirement benefit obligation is not material.

Estimated future benefit payments are as follows (in thousands):

	U.S.		Non-U.S.
	Plans		Plans

2015		1,128		448
2016-2020		5,161		3,181

As the plans are unfunded, the Company’s anticipated contributions for 2011 are equal to its estimated benefits payments.

Other Retirement Obligations

The Company participates in various other defined contribution and government-mandated retirement plans based on local law or custom. The Company periodically makes required contributions for certain of these plans, whereas other plans are unfunded retirement bonus plans which will be paid at the employee's retirement date. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the consolidated balance sheets include $8,443,000 and $11,228,000, respectively, within accrued pension and other postretirement costs related to these plans.

Many of the Company’s U.S. employees are eligible to participate in 401(k) savings plans, some of which provide for Company matching under various formulas. Concurrent with the freezing of U.S. pension benefits effective January 1, 2009, the Company match for affected employees was increased. The Company’s matching expense for the plans was $5,399,000, $5,004,000, and $3,250,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. No material amounts are included in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2010 and 2009 related to unfunded 401(k) contributions.

Certain key employees participate in a deferred compensation plan. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, these employees could defer a portion of their compensation until retirement, or elect shorter deferral periods. The Company maintains a liability within other noncurrent liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets related to these deferrals. The Company maintains a non-qualified trust, referred to as a “rabbi” trust, to fund payments under this plan. Rabbi trust assets are subject to creditor claims under certain conditions and are not the property of employees. Therefore, they are accounted for as other noncurrent assets. Assets held in trust related to the deferred compensation plan at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were approximately $11 million and $12 million, respectively. Effective July 6, 2010, $2.5 million of these assets were transferred to VPG equal to the deferred comp ensation liabilities of employees of VPG, which were retained by VPG. Assets held in trust are intended to approximate the Company’s liability under this plan.

The Company is obligated to pay post-employment benefits to certain terminated employees related to acquisitions. The liabilities recorded for these obligations total $9,222,000 and $12,283,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Of these amounts, $2,126,000 and $2,982,000 are included in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with the remaining amounts included in other noncurrent liabilities.

Share-Based Compensation

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]

Note 12 – Share-Based Compensation

The Company has various stockholder-approved programs which allow for the grant of share-based compensation to officers, employees, and non-employee directors.

The amount of compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company determines compensation cost for restricted stock units (“RSUs”), phantom stock units, and restricted stock based on the grant-date fair value of the underlying common stock. Compensation cost is recognized over the period that an officer, employee, or non-employee director provides service in exchange for the award.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recognized (in thousands):

	Years ended December 31,
	2010		2009		2008

2007 Stock Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Program (the “2007 Program”) permits the grant of up to 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock, unrestricted stock, RSUs, and stock options, to officers, employees, and non-employee directors. Such instruments are available for grant until May 22, 2017.

The 2007 Program was originally approved by stockholders of the Company on May 22, 2007, as the “2007 Stock Option Program.” On May 28, 2008, the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the 2007 Stock Option Program, which was then renamed the “2007 Stock Incentive Program”.

At December 31, 2010, the Company has reserved 1,925,000 shares of common stock for future grants of equity awards pursuant to the 2007 Program. If any outstanding awards are forfeited by the holder or cancelled by the Company, the underlying shares would be available for regrant to others.

Stock Options

In addition to stock options outstanding pursuant to the 2007 Program, the Company has stock options outstanding under previous stockholder-approved stock option programs.

Under the 1998 Stock Option Program, certain executive officers and key employees were granted options. On March 16, 2008, the stockholder approval for the 1998 Stock Option Program expired. While no additional options may be granted pursuant to this plan, at December 31, 2010, 389,000 options issued under the 1998 Program remain outstanding and may be exercised in future periods.

On November 2, 2001, Vishay acquired General Semiconductor, Inc., which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the acquisition, each outstanding option to acquire General Semiconductor common stock became exercisable for shares of Vishay common stock. Based on the conversion ratio in the acquisition of 0.563 of a Vishay share for each General Semiconductor share, the former General Semiconductor options become exercisable in the aggregate for 4,282,000 shares of Vishay common stock on the date of the acquisition. All such options were immediately vested and exercisable as a result of the merger but the terms of the options otherwise remained unchanged. At December 31, 2010, 671,000 options related to this plan remain outstanding and may be exercised in future periods. No additional options may be granted from this plan.

As a consequence of the spin-off of VPG on July 6, 2010, the exercise price of all stock options was reduced 9.48% and 259,000 make-up options were granted to reflect the loss of value to the option holders due to the decrease in the trading price of Vishay’s common stock as result of the spin-off. Additionally, approximately 102,000 stock options that were held by VPG employees expired.

* The weighted average exercise price of the stock options included in the line item “Adjustment due to VPG spin-off” is equal to the weighted average exercise price of such stock options prior to the spin-off, as reduced by the spin-off adjustment. The weighted average exercise price of stock options outstanding, vested and expected to vest, and exercisable as of December 31, 2010 also reflects the decrease in the exercise price as a result of the spin-off adjustment.

Total	1,254	2.90	$	15.04	1,001	$	15.01

The weighted-average remaining contractual life of all exercisable options is 1.95 years.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted in 2010 or 2009 other than the replacement options. The following weighted-average assumptions were incorporated into the model used to value the options granted in 2008:

	2008
	Grants
Expected dividend yield	0.0%
Risk-free interest rate	3.5%
Expected volatility	58.3%
Expected life (in years)	7.2

The expected life of the options was estimated based on historical experience for a group of employees similar to the respective grantees. The expected volatility was estimated based on historical volatility over a period equal to the expected life of the options.

The pretax aggregate intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price on the last trading day of 2010 of $14.68 per share and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2010 is $341,000. This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock. No options were exercised during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $0.1 million.

* The weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options included in the line item “Adjustment due to VPG spin-off” is equal to the weighted average grant date fair value of such stock options prior to the spin-off, as reduced by the spin-off adjustment. The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2010 also reflects the decrease in the grant date fair value as a result of the spin-off adjustment.

Restricted Stock Units

Each RSU entitles the recipient to receive a share of common stock when the RSU vests.

As a consequence of the spin-off of VPG on July 6, 2010, approximately 60,000 make-up RSUs were granted to reflect the loss of value to the unit holders due to the decrease in the trading price of Vishay’s common stock as result of the spin-off. Additionally, approximately 5,000 RSUs that were held by VPG employees expired. RSU activity for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 is presented below (number of RSUs in thousands):

* The weighted average grant date fair value per unit included in the line item “Adjustment due to VPG spin-off” is equal to the weighted average grant date fair value per unit of such RSUs prior to the spin-off, as reduced by the spin-off adjustment. The weighted average grant date fair value per unit of RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2010 also reflects the decrease in the grant date fair value as a result of the spin-off adjustment.

The Company recognizes compensation cost for RSUs that are expected to vest. Of the 560,800 (as adjusted for the VPG spin-off) RSUs granted in the year ended December 31, 2010, 323,700 contain performance-based vesting criteria. The performance vesting criteria of the 323,700 RSUs that contain performance-based vesting criteria have been adjusted by 10% to reflect the absence of VPG within Vishay’s consolidated results. The Company expects all performance-based vesting criteria to be achieved.

On June 16, 2010, the terms of certain senior executives’ RSUs and performance-based RSUs were modified such that in the event of (i) the termination of the executive’s employment under certain circumstances, the executive’s outstanding RSUs shall immediately vest and the outstanding performance-based RSUs shall vest on their normal vesting date to the extent applicable performance criteria are realized; and (ii) a change of control of Vishay, all of such executive’s outstanding RSUs and performance-based RSUs shall immediately vest.

The modification of the terms of the RSUs and performance-vested RSUs had no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Phantom Stock Plan

The Company maintains a phantom stock plan for certain senior executives. The Phantom Stock Plan authorizes the grant of up to 300,000 phantom stock units to the extent provided for in employment agreements with the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had such employment arrangements with four of its executives. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had such employment arrangements with five of its executives. The arrangements provide for an annual grant of 5,000 shares of phantom stock to each of these executives on the first trading day of the year. If the Company later enters into other employment arrangements with other individuals that provide for the granting of phantom stock, those individuals also will be eligible for grants under the Phantom Stock Plan. No grants may be made under the Phantom Stock Plan other than under the terms of employment arrangements with th e Company. Each phantom stock unit entitles the recipient to receive a share of common stock at the individual’s termination of employment or any other future date specified in the employment agreement. The phantom stock units are fully vested at all times.

If the Company declares dividends on its common stock, the dividend amounts with respect to the phantom stock units will be deemed reinvested in additional units of phantom stock.

The Board of Directors of the Company can amend or terminate the Phantom Stock Plan at any time, except that phantom stock units already granted to any individual cannot be adversely affected without the individual’s consent. Furthermore, stockholder approval of an amendment is required if the amendment increases the number of units subject to the Phantom Stock Plan or otherwise materially amends the Phantom Stock Plan or if stockholder approval is otherwise required by applicable law or stock exchange rules. If the Board of Directors does not terminate the Phantom Stock Plan, it will terminate when all phantom stock units have been awarded with respect to all 300,000 shares of common stock reserved for the Phantom Stock Plan.

As a consequence of the spin-off of VPG on July 6, 2010, approximately 15,000 make-up phantom stock units were granted to reflect the loss of value to the unit holders due to the decrease in the trading price of Vishay’s common stock as result of the spin-off. Additionally, 38,667 phantom stock units held by a VPG employee were adjusted and redeemed as common stock on December 7, 2010. The following table summarizes the Company’s phantom stock units activity for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 (number of phantom stock units in thousands):

Employee Stock Plans

The Company had employee stock plans which had 305,126 shares of common stock available for issuance at December 31, 2009. The employee stock plans expired in 2010. Employee stock grants were restricted at the date of grant and vested over periods of three to five years. Restrictions imposed upon the grantee were at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Most grants were only subject to a vesting condition.

There were zero unvested shares of restricted stock outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and 4,000 unvested shares of restricted stock outstanding at December 31, 2008. No restricted stock was granted during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 pursuant to these plans. No shares of restricted stock were forfeited during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, or 2008.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company uses various leased facilities and equipment in its operations. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases. Certain operating leases include escalation clauses.

Total rental expense under operating leases was $28,194,000, $29,631,000, and $32,664,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. VPG accounted for $1.8 million, $3.6 million, and $3.9 million of rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments for operating leases with initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows (in thousands):

2011	$	21,490
2012		18,077
2013		14,263
2014		12,998
2015		11,206
Thereafter		18,981

The Company also has capital lease obligations of $69,000 at December 31, 2010.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations governing environmental matters, including the use, discharge, and disposal of hazardous materials. The Company’s manufacturing facilities are believed to be in substantial compliance with current laws and regulations. Complying with current laws and regulations has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

The Company has engaged environmental consultants and attorneys to assist management in evaluating potential liabilities related to environmental matters. Management assesses the input from these consultants along with other information known to the Company in its effort to continually monitor these potential liabilities. Management assesses its environmental exposure on a site-by-site basis, including those sites where the Company has been named as a “potentially responsible party.” Such assessments include the Company’s share of remediation costs, information known to the Company concerning the size of the hazardous waste sites, their years of operation, and the number of past users and their financial viability.

The Company has accrued environmental liabilities of $13.1 million as of December 31, 2010 relating to environmental matters related to its General Semiconductor subsidiary. The Company has also accrued approximately $11.3 million at December 31, 2010 for other environmental matters. The liabilities recorded for these matters total $24.4 million, of which $8.2 million is included in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, and $16.2 million is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined, management does not believe that the final disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows beyond the amounts previously provided for in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s present and past facilities have been in operation for many years. These facilities have used substances and have generated and disposed of wastes which are or might be considered hazardous. Therefore, it is possible that additional environmental issues may arise in the future, which the Company cannot now predict.

Litigation

The Company is a party to various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. The Company is of the opinion that these litigations or claims will not have a material negative effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Semiconductor Foundry Agreements

Our Siliconix subsidiary maintains long-term foundry agreements with subcontractors to ensure access to external front-end capacity.

In 2004, Siliconix signed a definitive long-term foundry agreement for semiconductor manufacturing with Tower Semiconductor (the “2004 Tower agreement”), pursuant to which Siliconix would purchase semiconductor wafers from and transfer certain technology to Tower Semiconductor. Pursuant to the 2004 Tower agreement, Siliconix was required to place orders valued at approximately $200 million for the purchase of semiconductor wafers to be manufactured in Tower’s Fab 1 facility over a seven to ten year period. The 2004 Tower agreement specified minimum quantities per month and a fixed quantity for the term of the agreement. Siliconix was required to pay for any short-fall in minimum order quantities specified under the agreement through the payment of penalties equal to unavoidable fixed costs.

In March 2008, Siliconix and Tower entered into an amended and restated foundry agreement (the “2008 Tower agreement”). Pursuant to the 2008 Tower agreement, Tower continued to manufacture wafers covered by the 2004 Tower agreement, but at lower quantities and at lower prices, through 2009. Tower also manufactures wafers for other product lines acquired as part of the PCS acquisition through 2012. Siliconix must pay for any short-fall in the reduced minimum order quantities specified under the 2008 Tower agreement through the payment of penalties equal to unavoidable fixed costs.

The foundry agreement with Tower was further amended in March 2009, further reducing the quantity of commitments. As consideration, Siliconix paid $3,000,000 to Tower, which was recorded as a component of cost of products sold. A portion of this payment would be refunded if orders exceed the minimum order commitment. As of December 31, 2010, Siliconix has been refunded the full amount of this payment, which has been recorded as a reduction of costs of products sold. In 2010, Siliconix amended its agreement with Tower to extend through the second quarter of 2015.

Management estimates its purchase commitments under the 2008 Tower agreement as follows (in thousands):

2011	$	23,318
2012		22,300
2013		6,804
2014		6,588
2015		3,294

Siliconix has granted Tower an option to produce additional wafers under this agreement, as needed by Siliconix, and accordingly, actual purchases from Tower may be different than the commitments disclosed above. Actual purchases from Tower during the year ended December 31, 2010 were approximately $41.8 million.

Other Purchase Commitments

Certain metals used in the manufacture of the Company’s products are traded on active markets, and can be subject to significant price volatility. Our policy is to enter into short-term commitments to purchase defined portions of annual consumption of these metals if market prices decline below budget. For much of 2008, these metals were trading near all-time record-high prices. During the fourth quarter of 2008, as metals prices declined significantly from these record-high prices, the Company entered into commitments to purchase a portion of its estimated 2009 metals needs, principally for copper and palladium. After entering into these commitments, the market prices for these metals continued to decline. As a result, the Company recorded losses on these adverse purchase commitments during the fourth quarter of 2008. These losses, which aggregate to $6,024,000, are recorded on a separate line in the accompanyin g consolidated statement of operations.

The Company has various other purchase commitments incidental to the ordinary conduct of business. Such commitments are at prices which are not in excess of current market prices.

Product Quality Claims

The Company is a party to various product quality claims in the normal course of business. The Company provides warranties for its products which offer replacement of defective products. Annual warranty expenses are generally not significant. The Company periodically receives claims which arise from consequential damages which result from a customer’s installation of an alleged defective Vishay component into the customer’s product. Although not covered by its stated warranty, Vishay may occasionally reimburse the customer for these consequential damages in limited circumstances.

Executive Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with certain of its senior executives. These employment agreements provide incremental compensation in the event of termination. The Company does not provide any severance or other benefits specifically upon a change in control.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Board of Directors was notified that Richard N. Grubb, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, would be stepping down for “good reason” (as defined in his employment agreement), in connection with a change in the corporate finance and accounting function of the Company. The Company recorded severance charges associated with Mr. Grubb’s termination during 2008. These costs are reported in “restructuring and severance costs” on the consolidated statement of operations.

On May 13, 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Dr. Felix Zandman (the “2009 Agreement”). This agreement amends and restates the existing employment agreement between the Company and Dr. Zandman that was previously amended and restated as of January 1, 2004 (the “2004 Agreement”).

The purpose of the 2009 Agreement was to eliminate the right of Dr. Zandman to receive a royalty during the ten years following his termination of employment equal to 5% of gross sales, less returns and allowances, of Vishay products incorporating inventions and any other form of technology created, discovered or developed by him or under his direction. The royalty was payable in the event Dr. Zandman was terminated without “cause” or resigned for “good reason,” as defined in the 2004 Agreement. This provision was carried over from Dr. Zandman’s original employment agreement of March 1985, and could not be modified or eliminated without Dr. Zandman’s consent. It was a reflection, among other things, of Dr. Zandman’s key role in the founding of the Company and in creating, developing and commercializing the Company’s technologies and the absence of any compensation to Dr. Zandman for the core intellectual property that he has contributed to the Company over the years from its inception.

The Company engaged a consultant in 2007 to assist its evaluation of the royalties to which Dr. Zandman would be entitled were his employment to be terminated. Based in part upon the work of this consultant and management’s own updated computations, management estimated that the present value of the royalties to which Dr. Zandman would be entitled were his employment terminated at December 31, 2008 would be between approximately $370 million and $445 million, with a possible tax gross-up if the royalties were payable in connection with a change of control and deemed subject to an excise tax. (This present value does not factor in any assessment of the probability of payment.)

Pursuant to the 2009 Agreement, Dr. Zandman’s right to the royalty payments has been terminated. Dr. Zandman received a payment of $10 million as of the effective date of the amended and restated agreement, and is entitled to receive five additional annual payments of $10 million each. The Company recognized compensation expense of $57.8 million during the second quarter of 2009, representing the present value of these payments. This amount is presented on a separate line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized no tax benefit associated with the executive employment agreement charge. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $28.9 million and $10.0 million accrued in other liabilities and other accrued expenses, respectively, for this liability.

Payments pursuant to the 2009 Agreement may be deferred with interest in the event that making such payment would jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Payments will accelerate if, following a change of control of the Company, Dr. Zandman is terminated without cause or if he terminates employment for good reason. In the event of Dr. Zandman’s death or disability, the unpaid annual installments would accelerate upon a change of control, whether it occurs before or after the death or disability. If an excise tax were imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code due to the acceleration of the payments, the Company will reimburse Dr. Zandman for the excise tax on customary terms. Absent a change of control, if the Company were to terminate Dr. Zandman’s employment without cause or Dr. Zandman were to terminate employment for good reason or in the event of his death or disability, the unpaid annual installment payments would not accelerate and would continue until completed. Dr. Zandman will forfeit future payments if he terminates his employment without good reason or if his employment is terminated for cause. Furthermore, as a result of the 2009 Agreement, Dr. Zandman will not receive any other severance payments upon his termination of employment for any reason. Other terms of the 2004 Agreement remain substantially the same. Dr. Zandman continues to be subject to non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement and confidentiality covenants.

These markets have historically experienced wide variations in demand for end products. If demand for these end products should decrease, the producers thereof could reduce their purchases of the Company#8217;s products, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company#8217;s results of operations and financial position. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Credit Risk Concentrations /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Financial instruments with potential credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are generally limited due to the Company#8217;s large number of customers and their dispersion across many countries and industries. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Sources of Supplies /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Many of the Company#8217;s products require the use of raw materials that are produced in only a limited number of regions around the world or are available from only a limited number of suppliers. The Company#8217;s consolidated results of operations may be materially and adversely affected if the Company has difficulty obtaining these raw materials, the quality of available raw materials deteriorates, or there are significant price increases for these raw materials. For periods in which the prices of these raw materials are rising, the Company may be unable to pass on the increased cost to the Company#8217;s customers, which would result in decreased margins for the products in which they are used. For periods in which the prices are declining, the Company may be required to write down its inventory carrying cost of these raw materials which, depending on the extent of the difference between market price a nd its carrying cost, could have a material adverse effect on the Company#8217;s net earnings. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"From time to time, there have been short-term market shortages of raw materials utilized by the Company. While these shortages have not historically adversely affected the Company#8217;s ability to increase production of products containing these raw materials, they have historically resulted in higher raw material costs for the Company. The Company cannot assure that any of these market shortages in the future would not adversely affect the Company#8217;s ability to increase production, particularly during periods of growing demand for the Company#8217;s products. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font style="display: inline; text-decoration: underline"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Tantalum/font/font/fontfont style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman" /font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Vishay is a major consumer of the world#8217;s annual production of tantalum. Tantalum, a metal purchased in powder or wire form, is the principal material used in the manufacture of tantalum capacitors. There are few suppliers that process tantalum ore into capacitor grade tantalum powder./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company was obligated under two contracts entered into in 2000 with Cabot Corporation to make purchases of tantalum through 2006. The Company#8217;s purchase commitments were entered into at a time when market demand for tantalum capacitors was high and tantalum powder was in short supply. Since that time, the price of tantalum has decreased significantly, and accordingly, the Company wrote down the carrying value of its tantalum inventory on-hand and recognized losses on purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has fulfilled all obligations under the Cabot contracts and is no longer required to purchase tantalum from Cabot at prices fixed by the contracts./font/div div#160;/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Our minimum tantalum purchase commitments under the contracts with Cabot exceeded our production requirements for tantalum capacitors over the term of the contract. Tantalum powder and wire have an indefinite shelf life; therefore, we believe that we will eventually use all of the material in our inventory. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had tantalum with a book value of $0 and $13,032,000, respectively, classified as other assets, representing the value of quantities which were not expected to be used within one year./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font style="display: inline; font-weight: bold"font style="display: inline; font-style: italic"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Geographic Concentration /font/font/font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"We have operations outside the United States, and, excluding VPG, approximately 77% of our revenues during 2010 were derived from sales to customers outside the United States. Some of our products are produced in countries which are subject to risks of political, economic, and military instability. This instability could result in wars, riots, nationalization of industry, currency fluctuations, and labor unrest. These conditions could have an adverse impact on our ability to operate in these regions and, depending on the extent and severity of these conditions, could materially and adversely affect our overall financial condition and operating results. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"Our business has been in operation in Israel for 40 years.

The changes made to management reporting included separating the former Semiconductors reporting segment into MOSFETs, Diodes, and Optoelectronic Components and separating the former Passive components reporting segment into Resistors and Inductors, Capacitors, and Vishay Precision Group (#8220;VPG#8221;). The changes were necessary due to the former Passive components segment no longer being comparable after the completion of the spin-off of VPG, the need for discrete information regarding VPG, and the increased interest of management and outside investors in more discrete financial information. Effective beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2010, the chief operating d ecision maker began making strategic and operating decisions with regards to assessing performance and allocating resources based on this new segment structure. Following the completion of the spin-off in the third fiscal quarter, the Company has five reporting segments. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company evaluates business segment performance on operating income, exclusive of certain items (#8220;segment operating income#8221;). Beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2010, the Company changed its definition of segment operating income to exclude such costs as global operations, sales and marketing, information systems, finance and administration groups. These costs are managed by executives that report to the chief operating decision maker and were formerly included in segment operating income. Only dedicated, direct selling, general, and administrative expenses of the segments are included in the calculation of segment operating income. Additionally, management has always evaluated segment performance excluding items such as restructuring and severance costs, asset write-downs, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments, inventory write-downs, gains or losses on purchase commitment s, and other items. Management believes that evaluating segment performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company. These items represent reconciling items between segment operating income and consolidated operating income. Business segment assets are the owned or allocated assets used by each business. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company has also disclosed certain additional items not used to evaluate segment performance. In some cases, the items are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and are required to be disclosed by GAAP.

Rabbi trust assets consist primarily of marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale and company-owned life insurance assets. The marketable securities held in the rabbi trusts are valued using quoted market prices on the last business day of the year. The company-owned life insurance assets are valued in consultation with the Company#8217;s insurance brokers using the value of underlying assets of the insurance contracts. The fair value measurement of the marketable securities held in the rabbi trust is considered a Level 1 measurement and the measurement of the company-owned life insurance assets is considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Effective July 6, 2010, $3,701,000 of these assets were transferred to V PG equal to the deferred compensation and non-qualified pension liabilities of employees of VPG, which were retained by VPG./font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company maintains defined benefit retirement plans in certain of its U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries.

The exchange traded funds are valued based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the year. The fair value measurement of the exchange traded funds securities is considered a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The group annuity contract consists of a general asset account and a pooled separate account. Units of the general asset account are valued based on a discounted cash flow model using the current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations and similar credit risk. The pooled separate accounts are valued based on the value of the underlying bond funds, which are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the year, with adjustments made to reflect the nature of how the investment i s held. The fair value measurement of the group annuity contract is considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The short-term investment fund strictly invests in short-term investments, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, U.S. government agency and instrumentality obligations, U.S. government obligations, corporate notes, and funding agreements. The maturity date of all investments held by the short-term investment fund is within one year from the financial statement date. There are no redemption restrictions on the plan#8217;s investment. The fair value of the short-term investment fund has been estimated using the net asset value per share of the investment.

Key inputs into this valuation model are the Company#8217;s current stock price, risk-free interest rates, the stock dividend yield, the stock volatility and the debenture#8217;s credit spread over London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The inputs are based on observable market data.

The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using a combination of quoted market prices for similar financing arrangements and expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates, which are considered level 2 inputs. /font/div div#160;/div div align="justify"font size="2" style="font-family: times new roman"The Company#8217;s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long-term notes receivable, short-term notes payable, and accounts payable.
