                        KANDERS DEMANDS CLARUS MANAGEMENT
                         REFRAIN FROM ACQUISITION UNTIL
                      STOCKHOLDERS ELECT NEW BOARD MEMBERS

                         -- VOTE THE GREEN PROXY CARD -

MAY 10, 2002 (GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT) Responding to Clarus' (Nasdaq: CLRS)
announcement yesterday that it was negotiating a strategic acquisition with an
unnamed party, Warren B. Kanders, who, together with Burtt Ehrlich and Nicholas
Sokolow, own 5.6% of Clarus' stock and are seeking election to Clarus' Board at
its Annual Meeting scheduled to be held on May 21, 2002, demanded in a letter to
Clarus' management that it not make any acquisition until after the stockholders
have voted to elect new directors.


Mr. Kanders stated: "The experience of our slate of directors in evaluating and
completing strategic acquisitions is vastly superior to Clarus' management and
the current Board. With the Annual Meeting only 11 days away, stockholders must
be given the opportunity to determine which nominees are best qualified to
implement a program to best represent their interests."

Mr. Kanders continued: "This seems to be the desperate act of desperate men, who
will do anything to entrench themselves -- rushing to announce "preliminary
discussions . . . with an unnamed party" concerning an undescribed transaction
for the apparent purpose of influencing the stockholders' vote. Management's
last acquisition in May 2000, which was approved by Clarus' Board, was a
disaster for Clarus, requiring the Company to write off more than $36 Million in
2001.


" Mr. Kanders further stated: "Since management is unable to fault our record of
consistently enhancing stockholder value, and since their own record is so
dismal, having stood by while Clarus stockholders lost over $1.7 Billion in
Clarus' market value, management has now stooped to attacking me personally
through outright lies and innuendo. We have never had any plans to sell Clarus
to one of our affiliates, nor have we ever made any statements to that effect.
Unlike management's nominees and other current Board members, we do not receive
salaries or have lucrative consulting agreements from Clarus. Messrs. Ehrlich,
Sokolow and I are truly independent. Our only interest in Clarus is as
stockholders, and we will only be successful with this investment if we create
value for all of Clarus' stockholders.

" We have requested the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate the
false and misleading statements made by Clarus.

Mr. Kanders concluded: "We shall not be deterred. We will continue our campaign
on behalf of all Clarus' stockholders, to bring accountability and good
corporate governance to Clarus' management and the Board of Directors and to
evaluate and seek to implement opportunities to increase shareholder value.

         " THE KANDERS NOMINEES STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE TO PROTECT YOUR
INTEREST AS A CLARUS STOCKHOLDER BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE GREEN
PROXY CARD.
