     Re:  Clarus Corporation/Nominations of Warren B. Kanders, Burtt R. Ehrlich
          and Nicholas Sokolow ("Kanders Nominees") to Board of Directors

Dear Sirs:

     We are writing to you in connection with the pending proxy contest for the
election of three directors to Clarus Corporation's Board of Directors. We
believe that the Kanders Nominees are the clear choice to guide Clarus toward
profitability and increased stockholder value. In support of this view, set
forth below are certain guiding principles that we believe are of utmost
importance in this proxy contest, and the respective positions of the Kanders
Nominees and management's nominees:

<TABLE>

Nominees to Clarus' stockholders at the upcoming annual meeting. If there are
any questions that you have regarding the above, I will be happy to answer them.
Thank you for your consideration.
