                  VOTE THE ENCLOSED GREEN PROXY CARD -- TODAY!

Dear Fellow Clarus Stockholder:

In my letter dated May 6, 2002, I asked for your support and vote of the GREEN
proxy to elect Burtt R. Ehrlich, Nicholas Sokolow and myself (the 'Kanders
Nominees') to Clarus' Board of Directors at the Company's Annual Meeting of
Stockholders which is only one week away on May 21, 2002. In our letter and in
our accompanying proxy materials, we have presented fairly the reasons why we
deserve your support and Management's nominees do not.

We stated then that your decision came down to a matter of TRUST. We believe
that now more than ever. Since we have sought election of three of the seven
directors in order to improve Clarus' dismal financial performance and enhance
the value of your stock, Management has subjected us to vicious personal attacks
and continues to distort and misrepresent our record of enhancing shareholder
value in an effort to distract you from their record of destroying shareholder
value.

            CLARUS MANAGEMENT CANNOT HIDE FROM THEIR AWFUL RECORD --
                           WHERE HAS YOUR MONEY GONE?

THE CURRENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS WAS ON WATCH WHEN:

Clarus lost 97% of its market value -- A whopping $1.7 Billion.

Clarus generated almost $200 million in operating losses over the past 27
months.

Clarus produced an annualized burn rate of approximately $30 million.

Clarus' general and administrative expenses bloated to an estimated $6 million,
or approximately 50% of Clarus' 2002 estimated gross revenue.

Management was paid generous salaries and BONUSES.

Options were repriced. Don't you wish you could change the price you paid for
your Clarus shares?

                  THIS ELECTION COMES DOWN TO A MATTER OF TRUST

<PAGE>

On March 20, 2002, more than a month before Clarus announced its so-called
'expense reduction initiative' and its plan to 'retain a financial advisor to
explore strategic alternatives', we sent the Board a letter in which we urged
them to retain an independent investment banking firm to evaluate the potential
sale of the Company's software technology, maximize shareholder value through
redeployment of the Company's capital, including cash and NOL and to drastically
reduce the Company's burn rate pending Board review of the strategic
alternatives we presented. As Clarus' Management has frantically rushed to
implement our suggestions, in a desperate attempt to hide their dismal financial
performance, they continue to spread the fiction that we have not presented any
'value enhancing proposal'.

                                WHO DO YOU TRUST?

On March 29, 2002, James J. McDevitt, Clarus C.F.O., in a letter which Clarus
did not file with the S.E.C. until we raised the issue, responding to my letter
of March 20, promised 'I will contact you by telephone to discuss your nominees,
the strategic alternatives that you discuss in your letter and your concerns
regarding Clarus' stock performance.' We are still eagerly awaiting his call!

                                WHO DO YOU TRUST?

By suddenly entering into discussions with an 'unnamed party' with respect to a
possible undefined 'strategic transaction' only one week prior to the
stockholders vote, Management is trying to convince you that they are seeking to
enhance shareholder value of their own volition. Do they honestly expect you to
believe that they would have taken this action without our prodding?

                                WHO DO YOU TRUST?

Two of Management's nominees, Mark A. Johnson and Todd Hewlin, have lucrative
consulting arrangements with Clarus. Yet Management continues to spread the
fiction that they are 'independent'.

                      WHO CAN YOU TRUST? YOU CAN TRUST US!

Clarus has tried to portray me and my fellow nominees as short-term investors,
looking to make a quick buck. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have
established a track record of being long-term investors who have enhanced value
for all shareholders and who are committed to good corporate governance.

                                YOU CAN TRUST US!

                     THE THREE KANDERS NOMINEES FOR ELECTION
                   TO THE CLARUS BOARD ARE TRULY INDEPENDENT.

<PAGE>

         We have invested over $3 million in Clarus stock and we hold over
         866,100 (5.6%) of the outstanding shares.

         We have no financial arrangements with Clarus.

         Our interests are totally aligned with your interests as a Clarus
         stockholder.

                                YOU CAN TRUST US!

The Kanders Nominees are seasoned directors of public companies and long term
investors with proven public records of substantially increasing stockholder
value. During the past ten years, I and the other Kanders Nominees have made
significant investments in and have served on the Boards of Directors of New
York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq listed companies, including Armor Holdings, Inc.
(NYSE), Benson Eyecare Corporation (NYSE) and Langer, Inc. (Nasdaq). Under the
guidance of one or more of the Kanders Nominees, the value and price per share
of each of these companies has increased dramatically:

         Armor: The price per share increased from $0.76 in January 1996, the
         date of our initial investment, to $26.80 on May 2, 2002.

         Langer: The price per share increased from $1.52 in February 2001, the
         date of our initial investment, to $8.15 on May 2, 2002.

         Benson: The price per share increased from $0.375 in January 1992, the
         date of our initial investment, to $10.25 in the summer of 1995 when I
         sold my interest.

                              IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE!


In their letter to stockholders dated May 9, 2002 Management spreads the fiction
that stockholders 'are beginning to reap the benefits' of their business plan.
Perhaps they are talking about the benefits Management reaped with their high
salaries and generous bonuses. And as the stock price fell, Management and the
Board sold. While we invested almost $3 million in Clarus stock, Management
purchased next to nothing.


The Company is in such an anemic economic condition that not even Clarus'
recently retained investment banking firm, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, believes
Management's assertions about 'reaping benefits.' U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray
states in their Company Note of April 25, 2002:

              'Clarus will need to find a way to sufficiently differentiate its
         offering in order to generate sufficient sales to attain profitability.
         At the moment, visibility on this goal is limited.' (Emphasis added).

<PAGE>

              They further state: 'The stock currently trades at 65% of cash,
         and at the current burn rate, the Company has several more years to
         turn the ship around.' (Emphasis added). CAN YOU AFFORD TO WAIT?

Despite a record of failing its shareholders, Management fails to recognize that
constructive change is needed. We, shareholders of Clarus, recognize that change
is needed, their own advisors recognize the desperate state of Clarus -- and yet
Management says 'Now is not the time for a change in leadership.' We ask 'What
leadership?' 'If not now, when?' Time is running out!

               WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE TO PROTECT YOUR
            INTERESTS AS A CLARUS SHAREHOLDER BY SIGNING, DATING AND
