COMPENSATION

Salary – Your starting base salary for this position will be $295,000.00 when
calculated on an annual basis. This rate is calculated for convenience purposes
only and is not intended to be construed as a contract of employment for any
fixed period of time.

Annual Bonus – You are eligible to participate in the Key Management Incentive
Plan at the 50% level. Evaluation of your performance will be made on a pro-rata

Termination by Invacare for any of the reasons set forth in (a)-(g) of the
preceding sentence shall be termination for cause. Your entitlement to severance
benefits described in this paragraph are conditioned upon your signing a
separation and release agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Invacare.

Control Agreement which includes provisions for a lump sum amount, as more fully

program, Employer Match and a Discretionary Invacare Quarterly Contribution
(IQC). You may begin contributing to the 401(k) program immediately and will be
eligible to receive the Employer Contributions after six months of service.
Should you choose to participate in the 401(k) program, Invacare will make
matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 1% of your salary deferrals,
plus 50% of the next 2% of your salary deferrals after you have completed six
months of service.

Enhanced Retirement Plan – Additionally, because your annual income meets or
exceeds the IRS Highly Compensated Limit, you will be eligible to participate in
our non-qualified retirement savings plan, the Deferred Compensation Plan

maximize salary deferrals and employer contributions on compensation that
exceeds annual limits.

(24) months from the effective date of relocation or hire, relocation benefits
will cease immediately and you must repay all or a prorated amount of the
relocation expenses previously reimbursed or paid by the Company. Details of the
package are provided in the attached Relocation Policy and Benefit Package. To
participate in the company’s program, please contact Ann Wilgor, Invacare’s
Relocation Administrator, at (440) 329-6006 to begin the process. Please do not
