NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Crocs, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Crocs" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

        These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the "2007 Form 10-K"). The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2007 Form 10-K.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141(R)"), which amends SFAS 141 and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows but does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements- an amendment of ARB No. 51("SFAS 160"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows but does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 161"), which is intended to improve financial reporting regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to provide transparency to these activities and their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows but does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. INCOME TAXES

        In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 requires the use of a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and disclosures regarding uncertainties in income tax positions. FIN 48 was effective as of January 1, 2007. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized on adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations or cash flows. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $11.7 million at January 1, 2008 and $16.1 million as of March 31, 2008. The increase in the FIN 48 reserve results principally from U.S. and Canada income taxes, penalties and interest related primarily to transfer pricing issues in prior years.

        Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense. The balance of accrued interest and penalties recorded in the consolidated statement of operations at January 1, 2008 was $452,000 related to the adoption of FIN 48 and an additional $623,000 accrued during the three months ended March 31, 2008 for a total of $1.1 million.

        As of March 31, 2008, the Company is being audited in Canada for tax years 2004 through 2006.

        As of March 31, 2008, the following tax years remain subject to examination for the major jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business:

United States   2005 to 2007
Canada   2003 and 2007
Netherlands   2005 to 2007
Singapore   2004 to 2007
Japan   2005 to 2007

        State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of 3 to 5 years after filing of the respective return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various state jurisdictions for a period up to 2 years after formal notification to the states.

        The Company is potentially subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax audits by taxing authorities for the 2005 and 2006 tax years.

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

        During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued 985,900 options to purchase shares of its common stock to eligible employees and non-employee directors with a weighted average grant date fair value of $14.55. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company issued in January and February 2007, 1,030,000 and 20,000 options, adjusted for the stock split that occurred on June 14, 2007, to purchase shares of its common stock to executive officers, with grant date fair values of $11.22 and $11.90 per share, respectively, and exercise prices of $22.92 and $24.36 per share, respectively, as adjusted. The Company also granted in the three months ended March 31, 2007 an aggregate of 807,100 options, split adjusted, to purchase shares of its common stock to eligible employees with grant date fair values of $11.78 and $11.90 and exercise prices of $23.93 and $24.36 per share. All options granted to employees will vest ratably over four years with the first year vesting on a "cliff" basis followed by monthly vesting for the remaining three years. Compensation expense is recognized equally over the four-year vesting period.

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

        Stock-based compensation, including options and non-vested shares, was $5.4 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, $486,000 and $776,000, respectively, of the stock-based compensation was capitalized in inventory as part of the overhead allocation in the consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 438,948 and 1,119,976 options to purchase common stock were exercised, 89,704 and 143,616 options to purchase common stock were forfeited, and 29,208 and 29,208 shares of restricted stock vested, respectively.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Anti-dilutive securities are excluded from diluted EPS.

  Dilutive effect of unvested stock         514,282
   
 
  Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding     82,488,601     82,439,648
   
 
  Diluted income (loss) per common share   $ (0.05 ) $ 0.30
   
 

        Since the Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the dilutive effect of stock options and awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were options outstanding to purchase 8.7 million and 2.6 million shares of the Company's common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $18.91 and $22.52, respectively, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were not included in diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)


Ocean Minded attaining certain earnings targets over a three year period. Ocean Minded is a designer and manufacturer of high quality leather and EVA based sandals primarily for the beach, adventure and action sports markets. The Company recorded $600,000 in customer relations and $953,000 in goodwill on the date of acquisition for Ocean Minded.

        On July 27, 2007, we acquired all of the assets of Bite, LLC ("Bite") for $1.75 million in cash and the assumption of $1.3 million in debt, plus a potential earn out of up to $1.75 million based on Bite achieving certain earnings targets over a three year period. Bite is a designer and manufacturer of comfortable and supportive performance shoes and sports sandals sold worldwide in five categories including, golf, adventure, healthy lifestyle, travel and watersports. We recorded $512,000 in customer relationships and $530,000 in goodwill on the date of acquisition for Bite.

        The Company's goodwill balance of $23.0 million and $23.8 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, relates to the acquisitions of Ocean Minded and Bite in 2007, Jibbitz, LLC ("Jibbitz") in 2006 and Foam Creations, Inc. ("Foam Creations"), in 2004.

        In March 2008, the Company decided to sell Fury Hockey in connection with the restructuring of its Canadian operations. As a result, the Company wrote-off the goodwill balance of $1.0 million. See Notes 10 and 12 below concerning assets held for sale and restructuring activities, respectively.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. There was no impact for adoption of SFAS No. 157 to the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008. SFAS 157 requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires fair value measurement to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

        Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

        Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

        Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

        The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts in Mexican Pesos, which are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks, which fall into the Level 2 category under the guidance of SFAS 157. The fair market value of these contracts as of March 31, 2008 was $3.1 million. The Company did not enter into forward exchange contracts in the quarter ending March 31, 2007, but did hold short-term investments consisting exclusively of auction rate securities, which were classified as available-for-sale and were reported at fair value. There were no gains or losses (realized or unrealized) as of March 31, 2007 related to these investments.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

        The Company recorded a gain of $32,500 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively, under "Other income (expense)" in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the changes in the fair value of its financial instruments.

        The Company monitors its investments for impairment by considering current factors, including the economic environment, market conditions, operational performance and other specific factors relating to the business underlying the investment, and records reductions in carrying values when necessary. Any impairment loss is reported under "Other income (expense)" in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

10. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

        Assets held for sale totaled $927,000 as of March 31, 2008 and consisted of fixed assets we have determined to sell as part of our restructuring activities. The $927,000 total is comprised of $98,000 of molds and $829,000 of industrial and footwear production equipment used in the Company's Canadian manufacturing facilities. The Company had $14,000 of liabilities remaining on the assets held for sale as of March 31, 2008, which are wholly attributable to the molds.

        There were no assets held for sale as of December 31, 2007, because the amounts disclosed above are directly attributable to the restructuring activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

11. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND CURRENT OTHER LIABILITIES

12. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

        On April 14, 2008, the Company announced its intent to restructure its North American Operations. Incident to these actions, the Company has made the decision to cease Canadian manufacturing activities and consolidate Canadian manufacturing and distribution into existing North American operations. The Company has established reserves covering future known obligations of closed manufacturing and distribution operations at its Canada location. These reserves are included in the line item "Accrued restructuring charges" in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet and are recorded under the line item "Restructuring charges" on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations. Reserves at March 31, 2008 were $3.8 million, which consists entirely of termination benefits and are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 112, Employers' Accounting for Post employment Benefits—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 43. In addition

12. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES (Continued)


to this amount, the Company recognized $2.6 million related to the write down of inventory, included within the line item "Cost of sales" on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations, and $10.8 million in asset impairment charges. The asset impairments are comprised of $9.8 million related to the write down of equipment for molds and the write off of Fury goodwill of $1.0 million. The Company continues to evaluate the early termination or subletting of the relevant lease contracts. Accordingly, no additional accrual has been made at this time due to the uncertainty in how the Company will proceed on these contracts.

13. NOTES PAYABLE

        Notes payable includes the following (in thousands):

 
  March 31, 2008
  December 31, 2007
Revolving credit facility     42,700     7,000
   
 
    $ 42,700   $ 7,000
   
 

        On May 14, 2007, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Union Bank of California, N.A. ("Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility consists of a $15.0 million revolving loan facility. Included within the Revolving Credit Facility is $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. On November 21, 2007, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Facility, increasing the available borrowing amount to $25.0 million.

        The Revolving Credit Facility matures on May 1, 2009. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are unsecured and bear an interest rate based, at the option of the Company, on (i) a base rate defined as the higher of the Fed Funds rate less 0.50%, or the rate of interest most recently announced by the lender, or (ii) the Libor rate plus 0.875%. The Prime rate as of March 31, 2008 was 5.25% less 0.50%.

        On March 6, 2008, the Company entered into a third amendment of the Revolving Credit Facility, to increase the borrowing amount to $60.0 million. No financing fees were incurred as part of the amendment. Under the amended Revolving Credit Facility, the Company must satisfy specified financial covenants, such as a minimum level of consolidated EBITDA and a minimum adjusted quick ratio. As of March 31, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility related to the minimum quarterly EBITDA test. The Company has obtained a waiver of such covenants, effective as of March 31, 2008, which required a fee payable to Union Bank in the amount of $30,000.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        On July 26, 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated four-year supply agreement with Finproject S.P.A., the former majority owner of Crocs Canada, in which the Company has the exclusive right to purchase the material for the manufacture of finished shoe products, except for certain current customer dealings (including boot manufacturers). Based on the supply agreement, the Company has contractual purchase requirements to maintain exclusivity throughout the term of the agreement. The pricing is to be agreed upon each quarter and fluctuates based on order volume, currency fluctuations, and raw material prices.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

        The Company guarantees the payment of its third-party manufacturer in China for purchases of material for the manufacture of finished shoe products. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under the guarantee is €2.1 million (approximately $3.3 million at March 31, 2008). The Company evaluates the estimated loss for the guarantee under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies ("SFAS 5"), as interpreted by FIN No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others ("FIN 45"). The Company considers such factors as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. The Company has recourse as a matter of common law. To date, the Company has not made any payments under the guarantee and, as of March 31, 2008, has not recorded a liability related to the guarantee in its financial statements as the Company does not believe the potential obligation under this guarantee is material.

        The Company leases space for certain of its offices, warehouses, vehicles and equipment under leases expiring at various dates through 2026. Certain leases also contain rent escalation clauses (step rents) that require additional rental amounts in the later years of the term. Rent expense for leases with step rents is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. These items are factored into the minimum lease payment and recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Deferred rent is included in the balance sheet in accrued expenses.

        The Company indemnifies certain of its vendors and its directors and executive officers for specified claims. To date, the Company has not paid or been required to defend any indemnification claims, and accordingly, has not accrued any amounts for its indemnification obligations.

15. OPERATING SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

        The Company operates in the consumer products industry in which the Company designs, manufactures, markets and distributes footwear, apparel and accessories. Operating results are assessed on an aggregate basis to make decisions about necessary resources and in assessing performance. Consequently, under the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131"), and based on the nature of the financial information that is received by the chief executive officer as chief operating decision maker, the Company has one reportable segment for financial statement purposes.

17. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        On March 31, 2006, Crocs filed a complaint with the ITC against Acme Ex-Im, Inc., Australia Unlimited, Inc., Cheng's Enterprises, Inc., Collective Licensing International, LLC, D. Myers & Sons, Inc., Double Diamond Distribution, Ltd., Effervescent, Inc., Gen-X Sports, Inc., Holey Soles Holdings, Ltd., Inter-Pacific Trading Corporation, and Shaka Holdings, Inc., alleging patent and trade dress infringement and seeking an exclusion order banning the importation and sale of infringing products. On August 10, 2006, Crocs filed a motion to voluntarily remove its trade dress claim from the investigation to focus on the patent claims. Crocs' motion was granted by Order No. 20 on August 24, 2006. The utility and design patents asserted in the complaint were issued to Crocs, Inc. on February 7, 2006 and March 28, 2006, respectively, by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The ITC has issued final determinations terminating Shaka Holdings, Inc., Inter-Pacific Trading Corporation, Acme Ex-Im, Inc., D. Myers & Sons, Inc. and Australia Unlimited, Inc. from the ITC investigation No. 337-TA-567 on the basis of settlement and Cheng's Enterprises, Inc. upon its suspension of the alleged activities. The ITC Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") issued an Initial Determination of non-infringement related to one of the patents at issue. Crocs filed a petition with the Commission to review this determination. The Commission granted Crocs' petition and on February 15, 2007, after briefing by the parties, the Commission vacated the ALJ's determination of non-infringement with respect to the remaining respondents and remanded it to the ALJ for further proceedings consistent with the Commission's order. In light of the Commission's Order, the procedural schedule and hearing date were reset pursuant to Order No. 38. A trial was held before the ALJ from September 7-14, 2007. The ALJ issued an Initial Determination on April 11, 2008 with a finding of no violation, finding infringement of the utility patent by certain of the defendant's products, but also finding that the utility patent was invalid as obvious. The ALJ also found that the design patent was valid, but not infringed by the defendant's products. Crocs has filed a petition to have the initial determination reviewed by the Commission, at which time Crocs would seek to have the initial determination overturned.

        On April 3, 2006, Crocs filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado alleging patent and trade dress infringement and seeking injunctive relief against Acme EX-IM, Inc., Australia Unlimited, Inc., Cheng's Enterprises, Inc., Collective Licensing International, LLC, D. Myers & Sons, Inc., Double Diamond Distribution, Ltd., Effervescent, Inc., Gen-X Sports, Inc., Holey Soles Holdings, Ltd, Inter-Pacific Trading Corporation, Shaka Holdings, Inc., and Does 1-10 based upon certain utility and design patents that were issued to Crocs, Inc. on February 7, 2006 and March 28, 2006, respectively, by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Consent judgments have been entered against Shaka Holdings, Inc., Interpacific Trading Corporation and Acme Ex-Im, Inc. Crocs entered into a settlement with Australia Unlimited, and filed a stipulation for

17. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (Continued)


dismissal of all claims and counterclaims on January 25, 2007. Crocs has entered into a settlement agreement with D. Myers & Sons, Inc. and has filed such settlement agreement with the court. This consent judgment was entered by the court on May 23, 2007. This action has been stayed pending resolution in the ITC proceeding, above. The Company does not expect the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its business.

        The Company and two of its executive officers have been named as defendants in a complaint filed by an investor in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado on November 8, 2007. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of a class of all persons who purchased the Company's stock in the market between July 27, 2007 and October 31, 2007 (the "Class Period"). The complaint alleges that defendants made false and misleading public statements about the Company and its business and prospects in press releases and at investor conferences during the Class Period, and that the market price of the Company's stock was artificially inflated as a result. The complaint alleges claims under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. It seeks compensatory damages on behalf of the alleged class in an unspecified amount, interest, and an award of attorneys' fees and costs of litigation. These actions were subsequently consolidated. The Court is currently considering motions for the appointment of lead plaintiff and lead counsel. After the Court appoints lead plaintiff and lead counsel, an amended consolidated complaint will be filed. Thereafter, we will respond. We are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of the action.

        In January 2008, plaintiffs filed a shareholder derivative action in the Colorado District Court for the City and County of Boulder alleging that certain officers and directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties, wasted corporate assets, and were unjustly enriched. This derivative action purports to state a claim on behalf of the Company. The complaint alleges that the claims arise from the same conduct as is alleged in the federal shareholder class action discussed above. The Company is in the process of responding.

        Although the Company is subject to other litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including employment, intellectual property and product liability claims, the Company is not party to any other pending legal proceedings the Company believes will have a material adverse impact on its business.

        As of March 31, 2008, the Company has not accrued any amounts related to estimated losses for legal contingencies. While there is a reasonable possibility that certain legal matters may result in an unfavorable outcome and loss, the Company's estimated potential losses, or range of losses, when aggregated, would be immaterial to the financial statements.

Overview

        We are a designer, manufacturer, distributor, worldwide marketer and brand manager of footwear and accessories for men, women, and children. We design and sell a broad offering of products that use our proprietary closed-cell resin, called Croslite. In the past several years, we realized high demand for our Croslite products, specifically, our classic Beach and Cayman models. Croslite is a unique material that enables us to produce an innovative, soft, lightweight, non-marking, slip and odor-resistant shoe. Crocs shoes combine fun colors and innovative designs to provide a new level of comfort, functionality and style in the casual lifestyle footwear category.

        Since the initial introduction and popularity of our Beach and Cayman models, we have expanded our Croslite products to include a variety of new styles and products and have extended our product reach and appeal through acquisitions of companies with complementary accessories and other footwear. We continue to actively promote brand recognition through various licensing agreements.

        We currently sell our Crocs-branded products throughout the U.S. and in 95 countries worldwide. We sell our products through domestic and international retailers and distributors and directly to end-user consumers through our web stores, Company-operated retail stores, kiosks and outlets. The broad appeal of our footwear has allowed us to market our products to a wide range of distribution channels, including department stores and traditional footwear retailers as well as a variety of specialty channels. As of March 31, 2008, our customer base domestically expanded to over 13,500 retail locations, and our customer base internationally expanded to over 21,000 retail locations.

General

        Revenues are recorded when products are shipped and the customer takes title and assumes risk of loss, collection of related receivables are probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Title passes on shipment or on receipt by the customer depending on the country of the sale and the agreement with the customer. Allowances for estimated returns and discounts are recognized when related revenue is recorded. Because we use both internal manufacturing and contract with third parties to manufacture our products, our cost of sales represents

17



our costs to manufacture products in our Company-operated facilities, including raw materials costs and all overhead expenses related to production, as well as the cost to purchase finished products from our third-party manufacturers. Cost of sales also includes the cost to transport these products to our facilities and all warehouse and outbound freight expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of selling, marketing, wages and related payroll and employee benefit costs for selling, marketing and administrative employees, travel and insurance expenses, depreciation, amortization, professional fees, facility expenses, bank charges and non-cash charges for share-based compensation.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007

        Revenues.    Revenues increased 39.8%, or $56.5 million, to $198.5 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $142.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Of these amounts, our revenues from sales outside of the U.S. were $105.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $59.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of 79.5%, while our domestic revenues increased by 11.6%, or $9.6 million to $92.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $83.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our overall increase in revenue was primarily a result of higher unit sales of our footwear products, continued growth outside of the United States, primarily in Europe and Asia, and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate differences. The higher unit sales resulted from an increased demand in both new and existing markets, additional sales resulting from new product offerings and stronger sales to our existing wholesale customers and increased sales at retail locations owned by us and through our web stores. The continued growth outside of the U.S. contributed to a favorable exchange rate variance, which is due to the weakening of the dollar when comparing the average exchange rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to the same period a year ago. The exchange rate variance period over period contributed $11.5 million to our revenue growth. We expect our sales to continue to grow and our revenues to increase as we introduce new products, broaden our product mix in certain markets and enter new markets globally.

        Our Company-owned retail locations, including retail stores, kiosks and outlets, increased to 214 locations at March 31, 2008, which is up from 126 at March 31, 2007. Domestic and international company-owned retail stores totaled 145 and 69, respectively, at March 31, 2008 compared to over 97 and 29, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect revenues from our Company-owned retail stores to increase in the future as we continue to expand the number of Company-owned retail locations. Global retail operations yielded $17.2 million in net revenues at March 31, 2008, or 8.7%, compared to $8.5 million in net revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2007, or 6.0%. This increase is attributable to the 69.8% growth in the number of Company-owned retail locations period over period.

        Sales of our classic models during the three months ended March 31, 2008 represented 28.5% of total revenues, while sales of new 2008 footwear product lines represented approximately 7.8% of our overall revenues during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The majority of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were attributable to footwear models outside of our classics, which evidences our diversification strategy to ensure our success, and that of the brand, so that our future growth is not contingent on a handful of footwear models.

        Gross profit.    Gross profit remained relatively flat period over period with an increase of $0.7 million, or 0.8%, to $85.2 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $84.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our gross profit margin was 42.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 59.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease in our gross profit margin was primarily attributable to underutilized factory capacity in our Company-

18



owned manufacturing facilities. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, we experienced an increase in import duties for non-molded products, a change in our sales mix to include products with lower profit margins, and charges of $2.6 million due to the write-down of certain raw materials and work-in-process inventory at our Canadian manufacturing facility that we determined were obsolete as the result of the shutdown of that facility. Our core classic shoes, Beach and Cayman, have a higher profit margin compared to our newer products, due to more complex skilled labor requirements and higher material costs associated with the newer models. Furthermore, as we have benefited from higher revenues due to a favorable exchange rate differences, gross profit has been affected due to the higher costs experienced in some countries in which we do business, specifically in Europe and certain countries in Asia. The total impact to our gross margin due to functional currency differences period over period was $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, which is comprised of the $11.5 million revenue increase offset by an increase in cost of sales of $6.6 million. We believe that disclosure is necessary because the weakening of the dollar, combined with our ongoing global expansion, is causing greater variances over time.

        Selling, general and administrative expense.    Selling, general and administrative expense increased 62.8%, or $29.7 million, to $77.0 million, or 38.8% of revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $47.3 million, or 33.3% of revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to higher costs required to support increased sales volumes and Company-owned locations. The aggregate increase is comprised of selling and marketing expenses for global brand building of $14.0 million, which includes sponsorships in fiscal year 2008 of $3.2 million, higher salary and hourly labor costs of $7.3 million related to increased personnel due to global expansion, increases in rent expenses of $4.4 million related to more retail and operating locations and increases in professional fees of $4.6 million, primarily as a result of increased accounting, consulting and legal fees necessary to comply with regulations present in each country in which we operate. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, due to the increased investment in fixed assets and information technology related to our distribution centers to allow continued growth, increased efficiency and operating capacity. These increased expenses are offset by a decrease in bonus expense of $2.2 million due to the loss experienced in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The total impact to our selling, general and administrative expenses due to functional currency differences period over period was an increase of $2.4 million. We are reviewing expenses in this category to reduce selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue. With this in mind, however, we will continue to maintain spending in advertising and marketing to ensure the long-term potential of our brand.

        Restructuring and impairment charges.    Restructuring and impairment charges increased 100% and were $3.8 million and $10.8 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to no charges in the same period a year ago. On April 14, 2008, we announced our decision to restructure our North American operations. Incident to these actions, we have made the decision to cease Canadian manufacturing activities and consolidate Canadian manufacturing and distribution into existing North American operations. We established reserves covering future known obligations of closed manufacturing and distribution operations in our Canada location. These reserves are included in the line item "Accrued restructuring charges" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recorded under the line item "Restructuring charges" on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Reserves at March 31, 2008 were $3.8 million, which consists entirely of termination benefits and are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 112, Employers' Accounting for Post Employment Benefits—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 43. In addition to this amount, we recognized $2.6 million related to the write down of inventory, included within the line item "Cost of sales", and $10.8 million in asset impairment charges. The asset impairments taken are comprised of $9.8 million related to the write down of equipment for molds as well as the write off of Fury goodwill for $1.0 million. We continue to evaluate the early termination or subletting of the relevant lease

19



contracts. Accordingly, no additional accrual has been made at this time due to the uncertainty in how we will proceed on these contracts.

        We believe that the potential savings in cost of goods sold achieved through lower depreciation and reduced employee expenses as a result of our restructuring plan will be offset by a marginal increase in cost as these activities are transitioned to other North American operations. The quantification of actual savings will depend on this offset, which we can not reliably estimate at this time.

        Interest expense.    Interest expense was $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in interest expense relates to the increase in average borrowings outstanding on our line of credit and long term debt of $42.8 million as of the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to average borrowings outstanding under those arrangements of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

        Other income/expense, net.    Other income was $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to income of $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007, which resulted from a decrease in interest income due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents held in interest bearing accounts during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

        Income tax expense (benefit).    During the three months ended March 31, 2008, income tax benefit was $1.9 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 29.4%, compared to income tax expense of $12.7 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 33.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in the rate relates to the recognition of net tax benefits resulting from the expenses related to the shutdown of our Canadian operations, the change in pre-tax earnings in jurisdictions with lower income tax rates as a percentage of total pre-tax earnings, and the realization of certain tax return benefits in the Netherlands.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        As of March 31, 2008, we had $29.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $36.3 million as of December 31, 2007. The significant components of our working capital are cash, accounts receivable and inventory, reduced by accounts payable and accrued expenses. Capital requirements related to manufacturing include compounding and injection molding equipment for facilities that we operate, and footwear molds used in facilities operated by us or purchased for our third-party manufacturers. We have experienced rapid growth in our revenues and earnings over the past three years, and as a result, we have made substantial investments in our inventory, global infrastructure and property plant and equipment, such as molds, tooling and manufacturing equipment in order to continue broadening our product offering in footwear and accessories. Our election to invest in these areas, combined with a challenging economy domestically, has contributed to the decline in cash and cash equivalents available.

        Cash used in operating activities consists primarily of net income or net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, deferred income taxes, provision for bad debts, stock compensation expense and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $42.7 million, which resulted from a net loss of $4.5 million, less non-cash items of depreciation and amortization of $8.1 million, share-based compensation expense of $5.4 million, and $2.4 million in excess tax benefit on share-based compensation, and changes in working capital resulting from increases in accounts receivable of $4.6 million, increase in inventory of $10.9 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $20.7 million. Cash used in operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $11.1 million, resulting from net income of $24.9 million plus non-cash items of depreciation and amortization of $3.5 million and share-based compensation expense of $4.5 million

20



less $8.2 million in excess tax benefit on share-based compensation, which was offset by increases in working capital resulting from decreases in accounts receivable of $31.6 million, decrease in inventory of $7.4 million, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $0.1 million, all related to our sales growth and expanded operations.

        Our inventories increased to $265.5 million at March 31, 2008 from $94.4 million as of March 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we continued to increase our inventory positions in order to meet anticipated demand for the quarter ending June 30, 2008 and, at the same time, made available production capacity for new fall and winter product lines for delivery in the remaining quarters of fiscal year 2008. We intend to continue to expand our footwear and accessories product lines by adding innovative products that keep pace with or set fashion trends. We expect that new product introductions, limitations on production capacities and seasonal variations may cause our inventory to increase or decrease materially in the future as we adjust to meet changing conditions resulting from our expansion and economic conditions. We believe that our inventory levels will decrease over the remaining quarters of 2008 due to projected sales for the remainder of the fiscal year.

        Our accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities increased to $130.2 million at March 31, 2008 from $74.1 million as of March 31, 2007. This increase of $56.1 million is due to our sales growth and expanded operations, including increase in inventory levels and related operational expenses.

        We anticipate that operating activities will provide sufficient cash for operations in future periods. However, seasonal variations in product demand and the associated changes in operating assets and liabilities in response to such seasonal variations may directly affect our cash flows from operating activities. Accordingly, cash flows from operating activities for any period are not necessarily indicative of cash flows from operating activities to be expected for any other period. We are considering supplementing cash provided in future periods with an additional increase to our line of credit, if deemed necessary.

        Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $4.0 million, which consisted of the change in restricted cash of $1.9 million, the change in acquisition of businesses of $1.5 million, offset by amounts relating to purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets. The change in restricted cash is principally due to funds being set aside to pay customs charges in China, while the change in acquisition of businesses is entirely due to earn-out payments made to Jibbitz during the period. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $3.3 million, which was primarily related to the net sales of investments of $12.9 million, offset by capital expenditures for molds, machinery and equipment of $10.6 million, acquisitions of $1.9 million and $3.1 million related to the upgrade and expansion of our information technology systems.

        We intend to grow our business by continuing to expand our footwear and accessories product offerings as well as expanding our company-owned retail locations. Expansion will require us to make ongoing capital investments in molds and other tooling equipment related to manufacturing new products as well as those related to opening additional retail stores. The rapid growth of our sales in both domestic and international markets has, in the past, placed substantial demands on our warehousing and distribution operations, and we expect that these demands will continue. In December 2007, we entered into an agreement with Manhattan Associates to provide warehouse management systems within all of our company-operated distribution centers. We plan to continue to invest in information technology systems that will support our growth, increase efficiencies as well as increase the operating effectiveness of our manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution operations. Additionally, we expect to continue to invest in our global information systems infrastructure to further strengthen our management information and financial reporting capabilities.

21


        Over the past two years we have developed or acquired key businesses, such as Jibbitz, Bite, Ocean Minded and EXO, an Italian producer of EVA based finished products, and we may acquire other businesses in the future that we believe are complementary to our own. On June 26, 2007, we amended the terms of the membership interest purchase agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with Jibbitz for the potential earn-out consideration included in the Purchase Agreement. The amendment removed the earnings targets for payment of the earn-out with $3.5 million payable on the effective date of the amended Purchase Agreement and the remaining $6.5 million payable over the following thirteen months, for a total payment of $10.0 million. We have $2.0 million, net of discounting on future payments, in remaining accrued additional purchase price for Jibbitz as of March 31, 2008, which is to be paid out in monthly payment installments ending July 2008. The agreements for the acquisitions of Ocean Minded and Bite contain contingent earn-out amounts of up to $3.75 million and $1.75 million, respectively, which are required to be paid as an additional cost of the acquisition if the business units achieve certain specified earnings targets in future periods.

        We have entered into various sponsorship agreements and operating leases that require cash payments on a specified schedule. We plan to continue to enter into operating leases related to our retail stores, kiosks, distribution, warehouse and manufacturing facilities in order to support the growth of our business. We also plan to continue to enter into corporate sponsorship agreements that we believe will help promote our brand awareness.

        Cash provided by financing activities was $41.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase is primarily due to increased borrowing on our credit facility.

        As of March 31, 2008, we had a $60.0 million credit facility which expires on May 1, 2009. As of March 31, 2008, we have $42.7 million outstanding under the facility. At our option, unpaid principal balance of the loan bears interest at either a base interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.875% or a variable interest rate of the lender's applicable reference rate minus 0.50%. The line of credit contains financial and other covenants as well as customary events of default.

        On March 6, 2008, we entered into a third amendment on our credit facility that provides for an increase in our credit facility from $50.0 million to $60.0 million. As of March 31, 2008, we were not in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility related to the minimum quarterly EBITDA test. We have obtained a waiver of such covenants effective at March 31, 2008, which required a fee payable to the lender in the amount of $30,000.

        We anticipate that cash flows from operations and our credit facility will be sufficient to meet the ongoing needs of our existing business during the next 12 months. However, we may enter into additional borrowing arrangements, or modify existing borrowing arrangements, should additional liquidity be required to fund working capital requirements, to make additional investments in capital assets and our global infrastructure, or to fund business acquisitions. We are currently considering a larger credit facility in order to assist in our future cash needs.

        There is a degree of uncertainty in forecasting our future cash requirements due to our rapid growth since inception. Substantial increases in accounts receivable and inventory are commonly associated with rapid growth and could unexpectedly strain our cash resources in the future. There can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and scheduled debt payments, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow, which in turn are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

22


Seasonality

        Due to our significant sales growth since our inception, coupled with our limited operating history, there is still uncertainty in the degree to which sales of our footwear products will be subject to seasonality. We expect that our business, similar to other vendors of footwear and related merchandise, will be subject to seasonal variations. We believe many vendors that market footwear products suited for warm weather normally experience their highest sales activity during the second and third quarters of the calendar year. However, our introduction of footwear models that are more suitable for cold weather uses, such as the Mammoth, Endeavor, Georgie, All Terrain, Snowmini, and YOU by Crocstm styles help to offset our risk for seasonality, as we experienced 30% of revenues due to cold weather models in the year ended December 31, 2007. Sales during the first calendar quarter are principally geared towards meeting the demand for the summer and fall months. Accordingly, 94.6% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were attributable to our footwear styles more suitable for fair weather. As we broaden our product offering and establish a strong presence globally, we hope to limit the effects of seasonality on our business. Our quarterly results of operations may, however, fluctuate as a result of a variety of other factors, including the timing of new model introductions and availability or general economic and consumer conditions. Accordingly, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year, and revenues for any particular period may fluctuate.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for the first annual or interim reporting period beginning after November 15, 2007. We have adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. We have evaluated the impact of this new standard and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. We have adopted SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008. We have evaluated the impact of this new standard and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141(R), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141(R)"), which amends SFAS 141 and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and is to be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this statement on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and we do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS 160"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling

23



equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and we do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161"), which is intended to improve financial reporting regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to provide transparency to these activities and their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and we do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Our accounting policies and accounting estimates critical to our financial condition and results of operations are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. We have not modified the policies and estimates set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 except for the adoption of SFAS 157, 159, 112, 144, 146 and EITF 96-9, as identified within this report.

        Restructuring Charges.    We recognize restructuring charges related to our plans to close manufacturing and distribution facilities according to SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 43; SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets; SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets; SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities; and EITF 96-9, Classification of Inventory Markdowns and Other Costs Associated with a Restructuring. In connection with these activities, we recognized restructuring charges for employee termination costs, long-lived asset impairment and other restructuring-related costs.

        The recognition of these restructuring charges require that we make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with the planned exit activity. To the extent our actual results in exiting these facilities differ from our estimates and assumptions, we may be required to revise the estimates of future liabilities, requiring the recognition of additional restructuring charges or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. At the end of each reporting period, we will evaluate the remaining accrued balances to ensure that no excess accruals are retained and the utilization of the provisions are for their intended purpose in accordance with developed exit plans.

ITEM 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Credit and Interest Rate Risk

        We are exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that United States interest rates change due to inflation or other factors. This exposure is directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. The interest payable on our line of credit is determined based on either a base interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.875% or a variable interest rate of the lender's applicable reference rate minus 0.5%, and, therefore, is affected by changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on our capital leases are dependent on interest rates in effect at the time the lease is drawn upon. Total liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2008 under the line of credit and capital leases were approximately $42.8 million. Based on amounts borrowed as of March 31, 2008, we would have a resulting decline in future quarterly earnings and cash flows of approximately $0.1 million, net of tax, for every 1% increase in prime lending rates.

        We earn interest income on our cash and cash equivalents. We have performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk of interest rates, and if the weighted average rate of return on cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, were to increase or decrease by 1%, the impact on interest income would be $0.1 million, net of tax, during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

        We pay the majority of our overseas third-party manufacturers in U.S. dollars and have had significant revenues from foreign sales in recent periods. Our ability to sell our products in foreign markets and the U.S. dollar value of the sales made in foreign currencies can be significantly influenced by foreign currency fluctuations. A decrease in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could result in downward price pressure for our products or losses from currency exchange rates. We have performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk of foreign exchange rates. If the U.S. dollar were to increase or decrease in value by 1%, the impact on international sales of $105.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 would have been an increase or decrease in consolidated revenues by $0.7 million, net of tax. The volatility of the applicable rates and prices are dependent on many factors that cannot be forecast with reliable accuracy. In the event our foreign sales and purchases increase and are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, our operating results may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies we receive for such sales. Please see the revenue section above in "Item 2. Management, Discussion and Analysis" for a discussion of the favorable foreign exchange rate variances experienced in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

ITEM 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        Under the supervision of and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting described below, such that the information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

25


        As part of our assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the three months ended March 31, 2008, we identified an internal control deficiency that constituted a "material weakness," as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5. Specifically, we determined that certain internal controls over the preparation and calculation of the consolidated income tax provision and related reserves were not functioning effectively as designed.

        We have an on-going process of analyzing and improving our internal controls, including those related to the material weakness identified by management and have developed and are implementing a plan to remediate the material weakness described above. With regard to the process of accounting for income taxes, our remediation plan includes: (a) the addition of qualified personnel to allow for a more thorough and timely review of tax positions and (b) consultation with tax experts in a timely manner. Additional measures may be forthcoming as we evaluate the effectiveness of these efforts. We cannot assure you that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives all of the time.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we made changes to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In January 2008, we implemented a new inventory management system in our subsidiary in Europe. Certain processes and controls were changed to accommodate the needs and requirements of our growth and our financial reporting system.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    Legal Proceedings

        On March 31, 2006, we filed a complaint with the ITC against Acme Ex-Im, Inc., Australia Unlimited, Inc., Cheng's Enterprises, Inc., Collective Licensing International, LLC, D. Myers & Sons, Inc., Double Diamond Distribution, Ltd., Effervescent, Inc., Gen-X Sports, Inc., Holey Soles Holdings, Ltd., Inter-Pacific Trading Corporation, and Shaka Holdings, Inc., alleging patent and trade dress infringement and seeking an exclusion order banning the importation and sale of infringing products. On August 10, 2006, we filed a motion to voluntarily remove our trade dress claim from the investigation to focus on the patent claims. Our motion was granted by Order No. 20 on August 24, 2006. The utility and design patents asserted in the complaint were issued to us on February 7, 2006 and March 28, 2006, respectively, by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The ITC has issued final determinations terminating Shaka Holdings, Inc., Inter-Pacific Trading Corporation, Acme Ex-Im, Inc., D. Myers & Sons, Inc. and Australia Unlimited, Inc. from the ITC investigation No. 337-TA-567 on the basis of settlement and Cheng's Enterprises, Inc. on the suspension of accused activities. The ITC Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") issued an Initial Determination of non-infringement related to one of the patents at issue. We filed a petition with the Commission to review this determination. The Commission granted our petition and on February 15, 2007, after briefing by the parties, the Commission vacated the ALJ's determination of non-infringement with respect to the remaining respondents and remanded it to the ALJ for further proceedings consistent with the Commission's order. In light of the Commission's Order, the procedural schedule and hearing date were reset pursuant to Order No. 38. A trial was held before the ALJ from September 7-14, 2007. The ALJ issued an Initial Determination on April 11, 2008 with a finding of no violation, finding infringement of the utility patent by certain accused products, but also finding that the utility patent was invalid as obvious. The ALJ also found that the design patent was valid, but not infringed by the accused products. We have filed a petition to have the initial determination reviewed by the Commission, at which time we would seek to have the initial determination overturned.

        As of March 31, 2008, we have not accrued any amounts related to estimated losses for legal contingencies. While there is a reasonable possibility that certain legal matters may result in an unfavorable outcome and loss, our estimated potential losses, or range of losses, when aggregated, would be immaterial to the financial statements.

ITEM 1A.    Risk Factors

        The risk factors listed below update and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Our level of indebtedness could limit cash flow available for our operations.

        As of March 31, 2008, we had a $60.0 million credit facility which expires on May 1, 2009. As of March 31, 2008, we had $42.7 million outstanding under the facility.

27


        Our debt could have important consequences on our business, including the following:

    requiring that we use a large portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest, which will reduce the availability of cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other business activities;

    increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

    restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities;

    placing us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors that have less debt; and

    limiting our ability to borrow additional monies in the future to fund working capital and capital expenditures, sell assets, acquire other businesses, or repurchase capital stock.

        We also may incur additional debt in the future. Although the terms of our credit facility contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and debt incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be significant. In addition, we may refinance all or a portion of our debt, including borrowings under our credit facilities, and incur more debt as a result. If we incur new debt, the risks described above would intensify.

        Our ability to meet our cash requirements and service our debt depends on many factors, some of which are outside our control. Our future operating performance is dependent on many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. Our operating performance is also dependent on our ability to continue to realize cost savings and synergies and drive profitable growth. If these initiatives are not met within the time frame we expect, our cash flow could be impacted, which could cause us to fail to meet certain financial covenants contained in our credit facility. A default under our credit facility could restrict or terminate our access to our borrowing capacity under our credit facility and materially impair our ability to meet our obligations as they come due. If we do not meet our financial covenants and we do not obtain a waiver or amendment, our lenders may accelerate payment of all amounts outstanding which would immediately become due and payable, together with accrued interest. Any default, or the failure to generate sufficient cash from operations, may require us to seek additional capital or modifications to our credit facility which may not be available. Additionally, our suppliers may require us to pay cash in advance or obtain letters of credit as a condition to selling us their products and services. Any of these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Our indebtedness imposes restrictive covenants on us, which limits our operating flexibility.

        Our credit facility requires us, among other obligations, to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial tests, including minimum quarterly EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock based compensation), cash to debt ratios and minimum net worth. In addition, in certain circumstances, the credit facility restricts our ability to incur additional indebtedness, repay indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens on assets, sell assets or make certain investments. There can be no assurances that we would be able to obtain a waiver to these restrictive covenants if necessary. If we fail to comply with the restrictions contained in the credit facility, the resulting event of default could result in the lender accelerating the repayment of all outstanding amounts due under the credit facility. There can be no assurances that we would be successful in obtaining alternative sources of funding to repay these obligations should this event occur. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we were not in compliance with the financial covenant

28



relating to our quarterly EBITDA. We obtained a waiver of such covenant from the lender effective as of March 31, 2008.

We will incur significant time and expense in documenting, testing and certifying our internal control over financial reporting, and any deficiencies in our financial reporting or internal controls could adversely affect our business and the price of our common stock.

        Beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended on December 31, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), rules require that our chief executive officer and chief financial officer periodically certify the existence and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This process generally requires significant documentation of policies, procedures, and systems, review of that documentation by our internal accounting staff and our outside auditors, and testing of our internal control over financial reporting by our internal accounting staff and the independent auditors. Continued documentation and testing of our internal controls will involve considerable time and expense, and may strain our internal resources and have an adverse impact on our costs.

        During the ongoing course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the annual deadlines imposed by SEC rules for certification of our internal control over financial reporting. As a consequence, we may have to disclose in periodic reports we file with the SEC any material weaknesses in our system of internal controls. The existence of such material weaknesses would preclude management from concluding that our internal control over financial reporting is effective and would preclude our independent auditors from issuing an unqualified opinion that our internal controls are effective. In addition, disclosures of this type in our SEC reports could cause investors to lose confidence in our financial reporting and may negatively affect the price of our common stock. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary to produce reliable financial reports and to prevent fraud. If we have deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting, such deficiencies may negatively impact our business, results of operations and reputation.

        On March 31, 2008, we identified a control deficiency that was determined to be a material weakness in our system of internal controls. The material weakness identified relates to controls over the preparation and calculation of the consolidated income tax provision and related reserves. Although we have developed a remediation plan to correct the operation of our internal controls over tax reserves, we may not completely remediate the operating effectiveness in a timely basis and management may be precluded from concluding that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. Additionally, our independent auditors may be unable to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls during their next annual audit for the year ending December 31, 2008.

EXHIBIT 10.1

Employment Agreement

        This Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into January 15, 2008, by and between Crocs, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Russell Hammer (the "Executive").

Background

    A.
    The Company is in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, and selling unique and innovative footwear for men, women and children.

    B.
    Executive has served as Senior Vice President of Finance with the Company since January 7, 2008 and on January 8, 2008 was granted options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock of the Company at the fair market value as of the date of the grant subject to the Company's 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.

    C.
    The Company desires to employ Executive and Executive desires to be employed with the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

    D.
    In Executive's position, Executive will have access to confidential, proprietary and trade secret information of the Company. It is desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to protect confidential, proprietary and trade secret information of the Company, to prevent unfair competition by former executives of the Company following separation of their employment with the Company and to secure cooperation from former executives with respect to matters related to their employment with the Company.

Agreement

In consideration of the foregoing premises and the respective agreements of the Company and Executive set forth below, the Company and Executive, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

    1.
    Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall employ Executive and Executive agrees to be so employed in the capacity of Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Finance and Treasurer of the Company commencing on January 16, 2008. Executive's employment hereunder shall not be for any specific term and shall be subject to termination at will by either Executive or the Company for any reason upon written notice to the other party.

    2.
    Duties. Executive shall diligently and conscientiously devote Executive's full time and attention to the discharge of responsibilities of the Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Finance and Treasurer of the Company and such other positions and duties as assigned from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors (together with any authorized committee of the Board, the "Board"). In such capacity, Executive shall at all times discharge said duties and responsibilities in consultation with and under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Board. Executive will follow and comply with applicable policies and procedures adopted by the Company from time to time, including without limitation policies relating to business ethics, code of conduct, conflict of interest, non-discrimination, confidentiality and protection of trade secrets, and insider trading. Executive will not engage in other employment or other material business activity, except as approved in writing by the Board. Executive hereby represents and confirms that neither (i) Executive's entering into this Agreement nor (ii) Executive's performance of Executive's duties and obligations hereunder will violate or conflict with any other agreement (oral or written) to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound.

1


    3.
    Compensation. During Executive's employment under this Agreement, Executive will be provided with the following compensation and benefits:

    (a)
    Base Salary. The Company will pay to Executive for services provided hereunder a Base Salary at an annualized rate of $375,000.00, which Base Salary will be paid on a bi-weekly basis in accordance with the Company's normal payroll policies and procedures. The Board will review Executive's performance on an annual basis and determine any adjustments to Executive's Base Salary in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any reduction shall be permitted only if the Company then reduces the base compensation of all its executive officers generally and shall not exceed the average percentage reduction for all such executive officers.

    (b)
    Incentive Compensation. Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company's 2008 Cash Incentive Plan bonus plan (the "Bonus Plan"), in accordance with its terms, as may be amended and in effect from time to time. Executive's target incentive compensation under the Bonus Plan shall be an amount up to sixty percent (60%) of Executive's Base Salary, subject to the terms and conditions of the Bonus Plan.

    (c)
    Deferred Compensation. Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company's 2007 Senior Executive Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with its terms, as may be amended and in effect from time to time.

    (d)
    Employee Benefits. Executive will be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs generally available to executive employees of the Company, to the extent that Executive meets the eligibility requirements for each individual plan or program. Executive's participation in any plan or program will be subject to the provisions, rules, and regulations of, or applicable to, the plan or program. The Company provides no assurance as to the adoption or continuation of any particular employee benefit plan or program.

    (e)
    Business Expenses. The Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket business, travel, and entertainment expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive's duties and responsibilities to the Company during Executive's employment under this Agreement. Such reimbursement shall be subject to the Company's normal policies and procedures for expense verification, documentation, and reimbursement; provided, however, that Executive shall submit verification of expenses within 45 days after the date the expense was incurred, and the Company shall reimburse Executive for such expenses eligible for reimbursement within 30 days thereafter. The right to reimbursement hereunder is not subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit, and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in a calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year.

    (f)
    Relocation Benefits. The Company will provide Executive with a relocation package with respect to reasonable costs associated with relocating from the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area to the Boulder, Colorado metropolitan area. Such package shall include:

    Reimbursement for the actual airfare (coach class) for up to one weekly round trip by Executive and Executive's spouse from Chicago to Denver until regular housing is secured, but not longer than January 1, 2009. Executive shall work with the Company to make travel arrangements in accordance with the Company's travel policies and practices.

2


        (ii)
        Reimbursement for the actual cost of (A) airfare (coach class) for one round trip by Executive and Executive's spouse from Chicago to Denver, (B) reasonable accommodations for five (5) days, and (C) five (5) days of car rental, to search for a permanent residence in the Boulder metropolitan area.

        (iii)
        Reimbursement for the actual costs of Executive's real estate brokerage commissions and related fees, closing costs (including local transfer taxes, seller title costs, seller inspection fees, and document recordation and processing fees) and legal expenses in connection with the sale of Executive's current primary residence in the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area, and closing costs (including local transfer taxes, buyer title costs, buyer inspection fees, loan closing costs, and document recordation, appraisal, credit report and processing fees) and legal expenses in connection with Executive's purchase of a home in the Boulder, Colorado metropolitan area.

        (iv)
        Payment to an agreed upon vendor for reasonable costs of packing, moving and unpacking (by Silver Linings or a similar vendor) the household goods, automobiles and personal effects of Executive and Executive's immediate family from the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area to the Boulder, Colorado metropolitan area.

        (v)
        Executive shall submit receipts or other appropriate documentation of each expense under this Section 3(g) within 30 days after such expense is incurred, and the Company will pay such reimbursements to Executive within 30 days thereafter. If any of the benefits received by Executive in connection with his relocation expenses set forth in this Section 3(g) will be required under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), to be taxable income reportable on Executive's W-2 (the "Taxable Portion"), the Company shall pay to Executive an amount, no later than the due date for Executive's tax return with respect to the Taxable Portion, equal to any federal, state and local income and employment taxes applicable to the Taxable Portion.

      (g)
      Country Club Membership. During Executive's employment with the Company hereunder, the Company will pay Executive's full initiation fees and monthly dues for membership maintenance in the Lake Valley Country Club. Expenses for use of facilities shall be paid by Executive, except to the extent that such expenses are reimbursable as necessary business expenses as described in Section 3(f) above.

    4.
    Confidential Information. Except as authorized in writing by the Board or as necessary in carrying out Executive's responsibilities for the Company, Executive will not at any time divulge, furnish, or make accessible to anyone or use in any way, any confidential, proprietary, or secret knowledge or information of the Company that Executive has acquired or will acquire about the Company, whether developed by himself or by others, concerning (i) any trade secrets, (ii) any confidential, proprietary, or secret designs, inventions, discoveries, programs, processes, formulae, plans, devices, or material (whether or not patented or patentable) directly or indirectly useful in any aspect of the business of the Company, (iii) any customer or supplier lists, (iv) any confidential, proprietary, or secret development or research work, (v) any strategic or other business, marketing, or sales plans, systems or techniques, (vi) any financial data or plans, or (vii) any other confidential or proprietary information or secret aspects of the business of the Company. Executive acknowledges that the above-described knowledge and information constitute a unique and valuable asset of the Company and represent a substantial investment of time and expense by the Company, and that any disclosure or other use of such knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of the Company would be wrongful and would cause irreparable harm to the Company. Executive will refrain from intentionally committing any acts that would materially reduce, and

3


      shall take reasonable steps to protect, the value of such knowledge or information to the Company. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality shall not apply to any knowledge or information that (i) is now or subsequently becomes generally publicly known, other than as a direct or indirect result of the breach by Executive of this Agreement, (ii) is independently made available to Executive in good faith by a third party who has not violated a confidential relationship with the Company, or (iii) is required to be disclosed by law or legal process. Executive understands and agrees that Executive's obligations under this Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of the Company's confidential information are in addition to any obligations of Executive under applicable statutory or common law.

    5.
    Ventures. If, during Executive's employment with the Company, Executive participates in the planning or implementing of any project, program, or venture involving the Company, all rights in such project, program, or venture belong to the Company. Except as approved in writing by the Board, Executive will not be entitled to any interest in any such project, program, or venture or to any commission, finder's fee, or other compensation in connection therewith. Executive will have no interest, direct or indirect, in any customer or supplier that conducts business with the Company.

    6.
    Intellectual Property.

    (a)
    Disclosure and Assignment. Executive hereby transfers and assigns to the Company (or its designee) all right, title, and interest of Executive in and to every idea, concept, invention, and improvement (whether patented, patentable or not) conceived or reduced to practice by Executive whether solely or in collaboration with others while Executive is employed by the Company, and all copyrighted or copyrightable matter created by Executive whether solely or in collaboration with others while Executive is employed by the Company, in each case, that relates to the Company's business (collectively, "Creations"). Executive shall communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company may request, all information, details, and data pertaining to each Creation. Every copyrightable Creation, regardless of whether copyright protection is sought or preserved by the Company, shall be a "work made for hire" as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, and the Company shall own all rights in and to such matter throughout the world, without the payment of any royalty or other consideration to Executive or anyone claiming through Executive.

    (b)
    Trademarks. All right, title, and interest in and to any and all trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos adopted, used, or considered for use by the Company during Executive's employment (whether or not developed by Executive) to identify the Company's business or other goods or services (collectively, the "Marks"), together with the goodwill appurtenant thereto, and all other materials, ideas, or other property conceived, created, developed, adopted, or improved by Executive solely or jointly during Executive's employment by the Company and relating to its business shall be owned exclusively by the Company. Executive shall not have, and will not claim to have, any right, title, or interest of any kind in or to the Marks or such other property.

    7.
    Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Covenants.

    (a)
    Agreement Not to Compete. During Executive's employment with the Company and for a period of six (6) consecutive months from and after the termination of Executive's employment, whether such termination is with or without Cause, or is at the instance of Executive or the Company, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity, including without limitation as a proprietor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, investor, stockholder, employee, member of any association, consultant, or otherwise, engage or participate in any Competitive Business. "Competitive Business"

4


        means any person, entity or business operation (other than the Company) that designs, manufactures, markets, distributes or sells footwear or other products that are the same or similar to the footwear or other products designed, manufactured, marketed, distributed or sold by the Company in any geographic location in which the Company is then doing business, or is then actively preparing to do business, or that engages in any other business that is competitive with the then-current businesses of the Company or with any business or market the Company is actively preparing to enter as of the date of termination of Executive's employment. Ownership by Executive, as a passive investment, of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section 7(a).

      (b)
      Agreement Not to Hire. During Executive's employment with the Company and for a period of 12 consecutive months from and after the termination of Executive's employment, whether such termination is with or without Cause, or is at the instance of Executive or the Company, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity, including without limitation as a proprietor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, investor, stockholder, employee, member of any association, consultant, or otherwise, hire, engage, or solicit any person who is then an employee of the Company or who was an employee of the Company at any time during the six month period immediately preceding Executive's termination of employment.

      (c)
      Agreement Not to Solicit. During Executive's employment with the Company and for a period of 12 consecutive months from and after the termination of Executive's employment, whether such termination is with or without Cause, or is at the instance of Executive or the Company, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity including without limitation as a proprietor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee, member of any association, consultant, or otherwise, solicit, request, advise, or induce any current or potential customer, supplier, vendor or other business contact of the Company to cancel, curtail, or otherwise change its relationship adversely to the Company, or interfere in any manner with the relationship between the Company and any of its customers, suppliers, vendors or other business contacts.

      (d)
      Modification. If the duration of, the scope of, or any business activity covered by, any provision of this Section 7 exceeds that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, such provision will be construed to cover only that duration, scope, or activity that is determined to be valid and enforceable. Executive hereby acknowledges that this Section 7 will be construed so that its provisions are valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding its express terms, possible under applicable law.

      (e)
      No Adequate Remedy at Law. Executive hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and that any violation of this Section 7 by Executive will cause substantial and irreparable harm to the Company to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy therefore. Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any such provisions, the Company will, in addition to any other remedies it may have, be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such provisions, and such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual monetary damages.

5


    8.

    (i)
    The Company providing written notice to Executive of the termination of Executive's employment, effective as of the date stated in such notice;

    (ii)
    The Company's receipt of Executive's written resignation from the Company, effective not earlier than 30 days after delivery of such written notice of resignation, provided that the Board may waive such notice or relieve Executive of Executive's duties during such notice period;

    9.
    Payment Upon Involuntary Termination Without Cause. If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated involuntarily at the initiative of the Company without Cause (as defined in Section 12 below), then, in addition to such Base Salary and any other compensation that has been earned but not paid to Executive as of the Termination Date, the Company shall, subject to the conditions in Section 10, pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to six months of Executive's Base Salary in effect as of the Termination Date. Such amount shall be due and payable to Executive in full as soon as administratively practicable following the Termination Date and Executive's satisfaction of the conditions in Section 10, but in no case later than 21/2 months after the Termination Date.

    10.
    Conditions. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, the Company will not be obligated to make any payments to Executive under Section 9 hereof unless (a) Executive has signed a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and related entities, and their directors, officers, insurers, employees and agents, in a form prescribed by the Company; (b) all applicable rescission periods provided by law for releases of claims shall have expired and Executive shall have signed and not rescinded the release of claims; and (c) Executive is in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement as of the dates of such payments.

    11.
    Other Termination. If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated:

    (a)
    by reason of Executive's abandonment of Executive's employment or resignation from employment for any reason;

    (b)
    by reason of termination of Executive's employment by the Company for Cause; or

    (c)
    Upon death or Disability,

      then the Company will pay to Executive, or Executive's beneficiary or Executive's estate, as the case may be, such Base Salary and any other compensation that has been earned but not paid to Executive as of the Termination Date, payable pursuant to the Company's normal payroll practices and procedures and as provided under any applicable plans or programs.

    12.
    Definitions.

    (a)
    Cause. "Cause" hereunder means:

6


        (i)
        Executive's commission of any act constituting a felony, or Executive's conviction or guilty or no contest plea to any criminal misdemeanor or more serious act;

        (ii)
        gross misconduct or any act of fraud, disloyalty or dishonesty by Executive related to or connected with Executive's employment by the Company or otherwise likely to cause material harm to the Company or its reputation;

        (iii)
        A material violation by Executive of the Company's policies or codes of conduct; or

        (iv)
        The willful or material breach of this Agreement by Executive.

      (b)
      Disability. "Disability" hereunder means any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months, where such impairment causes the Executive to be unable to perform the duties of Executive's position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment.

    13.
    Other Post-Termination Obligations.

    (a)
    Other Obligations. In the event of termination of Executive's employment, the sole obligation of the Company under this Agreement will be its obligation to make the payments called for by Sections 9 or 11 hereof, as the case may be, and the Company will have no other obligation to Executive or to Executive's beneficiary or Executive's estate, except as otherwise provided by law or by the terms of any employee benefit plans or programs, or of any incentive compensation or stock ownership plans, then maintained by the Company in which Executive participates.

    (b)
    Immediately upon termination of Executive's employment with the Company for any reason, Executive will resign all positions then held as a director or officer of the Company and of any subsidiary, parent or affiliated entity of the Company.

    (c)
    Upon termination of Executive's employment with the Company, Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company any and all Company records and any and all Company property in Executive's possession or under Executive's control, including without limitation manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks, reports, printouts, computer disks, flash drives or other digital storage media, source codes, data, tables or calculations and all copies thereof, documents that in whole or in part contain any trade secrets or confidential, proprietary or other secret information of the Company and all copies thereof, and keys, access cards, access codes, passwords, credit cards, personal computers, handheld personal computers or other digital devices, telephones and other electronic equipment belonging to the Company.

    (d)
    Following termination of Executive's employment with the Company for any reason, Executive will, upon reasonable request of the Company or its designee, cooperate with the Company in connection with the transition of Executive's duties and responsibilities for the Company; consult with the Company regarding business matters that Executive was directly and substantially involved with while employed by the Company; and be reasonably available, with or without subpoena, to be interviewed, review documents or things, give depositions, testify, or engage in other reasonable activities in connection with any litigation or investigation, with respect to matters that Executive then has or may have knowledge of by virtue of Executive's employment by or service to the Company or any related entity.

    (e)
    Executive will not malign, defame or disparage the reputation, character, image, products or services of the Company, or the reputation or character of the Company's directors, officers, employees or agents, provided that nothing in this Section 13(a) shall be

7


        construed to limit or restrict Executive from taking any action that Executive in good faith reasonably believes is necessary to fulfill Executive's fiduciary obligations to the Company, or from providing truthful information in connection with any legal proceeding, government investigation or other legal matter.

    14.
    Liability Insurance and Indemnification. The Company shall maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance for Executive while Executive is employed under this Agreement and thereafter at a level equivalent to the level provided for other current and former officers of the Company. The Company and Executive will enter into an indemnification agreement consistent with such agreements with other Company officers.

    15.
    Miscellaneous.

    (a)
    Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local income and employment taxes as the Company shall determine are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

    (b)
    Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, including current and future guidance and regulations interpreting such provisions, and should be interpreted accordingly.

    (c)
    Governing Law. All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, application, validity, and enforcement of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule, whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction, that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado.

    (d)

$50,000,000.00   Date December 24, 2007

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on May 1, 2009, the undersigned ("Debtor") promises to pay to the order of UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A. ("Bank"), as indicated below, the principal sum of Fifty Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($50,000,000.00), or so much thereof as is disbursed, together with interest on the balance of such principal from time to time outstanding, at the per annum rate or rates and at the times set forth below. Any letter of credit issued and outstanding in connection with this note shall result in reduction of the amount available to Debtor.

        1.     INTEREST PAYMENTS.    Debtor shall pay interest on the 1st day of each month commencing January 1, 2008. Should interest not be paid when due, it shall become part of the principal and bear interest as herein provided. All computations of interest under this note shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, for actual days elapsed. If any interest rate defined in this note ceases to be available from Bank for any reason, then said interest rate shall be replaced by the rate then offered by Bank, which, in the sole discretion of Bank, most closely approximates the unavailable rate.

            (a)   BASE INTEREST RATE.    At Debtor's option, amounts outstanding hereunder in minimum amounts of $500,000 shall bear interest at a rate, based on an index selected by Debtor, which is seven-eighths percent (00.875%) per annum in excess of Bank's LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period selected by Debtor, acceptable to Bank.

            No Base Interest Rate may be changed, altered or otherwise modified until the expiration of the Interest Period selected by Debtor. The exercise of interest rate options by Debtor shall be as recorded in Bank's records, which records shall be prima facie evidence of the amount borrowed under either interest option and the interest rate; provided, however, that failure of Bank to make any such notation in its records shall not discharge Debtor from its obligations to repay in full with interest all amounts borrowed. In no event shall any Interest Period extend beyond the maturity date of this note.

            To exercise this option, Debtor may, from time to time with respect to principal outstanding on which a Base Interest Rate is not accruing, and on the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to principal outstanding on which a Base Interest Rate has been accruing, select an index offered by Bank for a Base Interest Rate Loan and an Interest Period by telephoning an authorized lending officer of Bank located at the banking office identified below prior to 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on any Business Day and advising that officer of the selected index, the Interest Period and the Origination Date selected (which Origination Date, for a Base Interest

1



    Rate Loan based on the LIBOR Rate, shall follow the date of such selection by no more than two (2) Business Days).

            Bank will mail a written confirmation of the terms of the selection to Debtor promptly after the selection is made. Failure to send such confirmation shall not affect Bank's rights to collect interest at the rate selected. If, on the date of the selection, the index selected is unavailable for any reason, the selection shall be void. Bank reserves the right to fund the principal from any source of funds notwithstanding any Base Interest Rate selected by Debtor.

            (b)   VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.    All principal outstanding hereunder which is not bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate shall bear interest at a rate per annum of one-half percent (00.5%) less than the Reference Rate, which rate shall vary as and when the Reference Rate changes.

            At any time prior to the maturity date of this note, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 below, Debtor may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder so long as the total outstanding at any one time does not exceed the principal amount of this note.

            Debtor shall pay all amounts due under this note in lawful money of the United States at Bank's P.O. Box 30115, Los Angeles, CA 90030-0115 Office, or such other office as may be designated by Bank, from time to time.

        2.     LATE PAYMENTS.    If any payment required by the terms of this note shall remain unpaid ten days after same is due, at the option of Bank, Debtor shall pay a fee of $100 to Bank.

        3.     INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING DEFAULT.    In the event of default, at the option of Bank, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal under this note at a per annum rate equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the interest rate specified in paragraph 1.b, above, calculated from the date of default until all amounts payable under this note are paid in full.

        4.     PREPAYMENT.

            (a)   Amounts outstanding under this note bearing interest at a rate based on the Reference Rate may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or premium. Debtor may prepay amounts outstanding under this note bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate in whole or in part provided Debtor has given Bank not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of Debtor's intention to make such prepayment and pays to Bank the prepayment fee due as a result. The prepayment fee shall also be paid, if Bank, for any other reason, including acceleration or foreclosure, receives all or any portion of principal bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate prior to its scheduled payment date. The prepayment fee shall be an amount equal to the present value of the product of: (i) the difference (but not less than zero) between (a) the Base Interest Rate applicable to the principal amount which is being prepaid, and (b) the return which Bank could obtain if it used the amount of such prepayment of principal to purchase at bid price regularly quoted securities issued by the United States having a maturity date most closely coinciding with the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date and such securities were held by Bank until the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date ("Yield Rate"); (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period between the date of prepayment and the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date and the denominator of which is 360; and (iii) the amount of the principal so prepaid (except in the event that principal payments are required and have been made as scheduled under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being prepaid, then an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount prepaid or (B) 50% of the sum of (1) the amount prepaid and (2) the amount of principal scheduled under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being prepaid to be outstanding at the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date). Present value under this note is determined by discounting the above product to present value using the Yield Rate as the annual discount factor.

2


            (b)   In no event shall Bank be obligated to make any payment or refund to Debtor, nor shall Debtor be entitled to any setoff or other claim against Bank, should the return which Bank could obtain under this prepayment formula exceed the interest that Bank would have received if no prepayment had occurred. All prepayments shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid and shall be applied to payment of interest before application to principal. A determination by Bank as to the prepayment fee amount, if any, shall be conclusive.

            (c)   Bank shall provide Debtor a statement of the amount payable on account of prepayment. Debtor acknowledges that (i) Bank establishes a Base Interest Rate upon the understanding that it apply to the Base Interest Rate Loan for the entire Interest Period, and (ii) Bank would not lend to Debtor without Debtor's express agreement to pay Bank the prepayment fee described above.

    DEBTOR INITIAL HERE: /s/ P.C.

        5.     DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF TIME FOR PAYMENT.    Default shall include, but not be limited to, any of the following: (a) the failure of Debtor to make any payment required under this note when due; (b) any breach, misrepresentation or other default by Debtor, any guarantor, co-maker, endorser, or any person or entity other than Debtor providing security for this note (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as the "Obligor") under any security agreement, guaranty or other agreement between Bank and any Obligor; (c) the insolvency of any Obligor or the failure of any Obligor generally to pay such Obligor's debts as such debts become due; (d) the commencement as to any Obligor of any voluntary or involuntary proceeding under any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, debt adjustment or debtor relief; (e) the assignment by any Obligor for the benefit of such Obligor's creditors; (f) the appointment, or commencement of any proceeding for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar official for all or substantially all of any Obligor's property; (g) the commencement of any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of any Obligor; (h) the termination of existence or death of any Obligor; (i) the revocation of any guaranty or subordination agreement given in connection with this note; (j) the failure of any Obligor to comply with any order, judgement, injunction, decree, writ or demand of any court or other public authority; (k) the filing or recording against any Obligor, or the property of any Obligor, of any notice of levy, notice to withhold, or other legal process for taxes other than property taxes; (l) the default by any Obligor personally liable for amounts owed hereunder on any obligation concerning the borrowing of money; (m) the issuance against any Obligor, or the property of any Obligor, of any writ of attachment, execution, or other judicial lien; or (n) the deterioration of the financial condition of any Obligor which results in Bank deeming itself, in good faith, insecure. Upon the occurrence of any such default, Bank, in its discretion, may cease to advance funds hereunder and may declare all obligations under this note immediately due and payable; however, upon the occurrence of an event of default under d, e, f, or g, all principal and interest shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

        6.     ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR.    If any amounts owing under this note are not paid when due, Debtor promises to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, (including the allocated costs of Bank's in-house counsel and legal staff) incurred by Bank in the negotiation, documentation and modification of this note and all related documents and in the collection or enforcement of any amount outstanding hereunder. Debtor and any Obligor, for the maximum period of time and the full extent permitted by law, (a) waive diligence, presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and notice of every kind; (b) waive the right to assert the defense of any statute of limitations to any debt or obligation hereunder; and (c) consent to renewals and extensions of time for the payment of any amounts due under this note. If this note is signed by more than one party, the term "Debtor" includes each of the undersigned and any successors in interest thereof; all of whose liability shall be joint and several. Any married person who signs this note agrees that recourse may be had against the separate property of that person for any obligations hereunder. The receipt of any check or other item of payment by Bank, at its option, shall not be

3



considered a payment on account until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment at the drawee bank. Bank may delay the credit of such payment based upon Bank's schedule of funds availability, and interest under this note shall accrue until the funds are deemed collected. In any action brought under or arising out of this note, Debtor and any Obligor, including their successors and assigns, hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any competent court within the State of California, as provided in any alternative dispute resolution agreement executed between Debtor and Bank, and consent to service of process by any means authorized by said state's law. The term "Bank" includes, without limitation, any holder of this note. This note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California. This note hereby incorporates any alternative dispute resolution agreement previously, concurrently or hereafter executed between Debtor and Bank.

$60,000,000.00   Date February 28, 2008

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on May 1, 2009, the undersigned ("Debtor") promises to pay to the order of UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A. ("Bank"), as indicated below, the principal sum of Sixty Million and 00/100ths Dollars ($60,000,000.00), or so much thereof as is disbursed, together with interest on the balance of such principal from time to time outstanding, at the per annum rate or rates and at the times set forth below.

        1.     INTEREST PAYMENTS.    Debtor shall pay interest on the 1st day of each month commencing April 1, 2008. Should interest not be paid when due, it shall become part of the principal and bear interest as herein provided. All computations of interest under this note shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, for actual days elapsed. If any interest rate defined in this note ceases to be available from Bank for any reason, then said interest rate shall be replaced by the rate then offered by Bank, which, in the sole discretion of Bank, most closely approximates the unavailable rate.

            (a)   BASE INTEREST RATE.    At Debtor's option, amounts outstanding hereunder in minimum amounts of $500,000 shall bear interest at a rate, based on an index selected by Debtor, which is seven-eighths percent (00.875%) per annum in excess of Bank's LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period selected by Debtor, acceptable to Bank.

            No Base Interest Rate may be changed, altered or otherwise modified until the expiration of the Interest Period selected by Debtor. The exercise of interest rate options by Debtor shall be as recorded in Bank's records, which records shall be prima facie evidence of the amount borrowed under either Interest option and the interest rate; provided, however, that failure of Bank to make any such notation in its records shall not discharge Debtor from its obligations to repay in full with interest all amounts borrowed. In no event shall any Interest Period extend beyond the maturity date of this note.

            To exercise this option, Debtor may, from time to time with respect to principal outstanding on which a Base Interest Rate is not accruing, and on the expiration of any Interest Period with respect to principal outstanding on which a Base Interest Rate has been accruing, select an index offered by Bank for a Base Interest Rate Loan and an Interest Period by telephoning an authorized lending officer of Bank located at the banking office identified below prior to 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on any Business Day and advising that officer of the selected index, the Interest Period and the Origination Date selected (which Origination Date, for a Base Interest

1



    Rate Loan based on the LIBOR Rate, shall follow the date of such selection by no more than two (2) Business Days).

            Bank will mail a written confirmation of the terms of the selection to Debtor promptly after the selection is made. Failure to send such confirmation shall not affect Bank's rights to collect interest at the rate selected. If, on the date of the selection, the index selected is unavailable for any reason, the selection shall be void. Bank reserves the right to fund the principal from any source of funds notwithstanding any Base Interest Rate selected by Debtor.

            (b)   VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.    All principal outstanding hereunder which is not bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate shall bear interest at a rate per annum of one-half percent (00.5%) less than the Reference Rate, which rate shall vary as and when the Reference Rate changes.

            At any time prior to the maturity date of this note, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 below, Debtor may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder so long as the total outstanding at any one time does not exceed the principal amount of this note.

            Debtor shall pay all amounts due under this note in lawful money of the United States at Bank's P.O. Box 30115, Los Angeles, CA 90030-0115 Office, or such other office as may be designated by Bank, from time to time.

        2.     LATE PAYMENTS.    If any payment required by the terms of this note shall remain unpaid ten days after same is due, at the option of Bank, Debtor shall pay a fee of $100 to Bank.

        3.     INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING DEFAULT.    In the event of default, at the option of Bank, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal under this note at a per annum rate equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the interest rate specified in paragraph 1.b, above, calculated from the date of default until all amounts payable under this note are paid in full.

        4.     PREPAYMENT.

            (a)   Amounts outstanding under this note bearing interest at a rate based on the Reference Rate may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or premium. Debtor may prepay amounts outstanding under this note bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate in whole or in part provided Debtor has given Bank not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of Debtor's intention to make such prepayment and pays to Bank the prepayment fee due as a result. The prepayment fee shall also be paid, if Bank, for any other reason, including acceleration or foreclosure, receives all or any portion of principal bearing interest at a Base Interest Rate prior to its scheduled payment date. The prepayment fee shall be an amount equal to the present value of the product of: (i) the difference (but not less than zero) between (a) the Base Interest Rate applicable to the principal amount which is being prepaid, and (b) the return which Bank could obtain if it used the amount of such prepayment of principal to purchase at bid price regularly quoted securities issued by the United States having a maturity date most closely coinciding with the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date and such securities were held by Bank until the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date ("Yield Rate"); (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period between the date of prepayment and the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date and the denominator of which is 360; and (iii) the amount of the principal so prepaid (except in the event that principal payments are required and have been made as scheduled under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being prepaid, then an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount prepaid or (B) 50% of the sum of (1) the amount prepaid and (2) the amount of principal scheduled under the terms of the Base Interest Rate Loan being prepaid to be outstanding at the relevant Base Rate Maturity Date). Present value under this note is determined by discounting the above product to present value using the Yield Rate as the annual discount factor.

2


            (b)   In no event shall Bank be obligated to make any payment or refund to Debtor, nor shall Debtor be entitled to any setoff or other claim against Bank, should the return which Bank could obtain under this prepayment formula exceed the interest that Bank would have received if no prepayment had occurred. All prepayments shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid and shall be applied to payment of interest before application to principal. A determination by Bank as to the prepayment fee amount, if any, shall be conclusive.

            (c)   Bank shall provide Debtor a statement of the amount payable on account of prepayment. Debtor acknowledges that (i) Bank establishes a Base Interest Rate upon the understanding that it apply to the Base Interest Rate Loan for the entire Interest Period, and (ii) Bank would not lend to Debtor without Debtor's express agreement to pay Bank the prepayment fee described above.

    DEBTOR INITIAL HERE: /s/ R.H.

        5.     DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF TIME FOR PAYMENT.    Default shall include, but not be limited to, any of the following: (a) the failure of Debtor to make any payment required under this note when due; (b) any breach, misrepresentation or other default by Debtor, any guarantor, co-maker, endorser, or any person or entity other than Debtor providing security for this note (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as the "Obligor") under any security agreement, guaranty or other agreement between Bank and any Obligor; (c) the insolvency of any Obligor or the failure of any Obligor generally to pay such Obligor's debts as such debts become due; (d) the commencement as to any Obligor of any voluntary or involuntary proceeding under any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, debt adjustment or debtor relief; (e) the assignment by any Obligor for the benefit of such Obligor's creditors; (f) the appointment, or commencement of any proceeding for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar official for all or substantially all of any Obligor's property; (g) the commencement of any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of any Obligor; (h) the termination of existence or death of any Obligor; (i) the revocation of any guaranty or subordination agreement given in connection with this note; (j) the failure of any Obligor to comply with any order, judgement, injunction, decree, writ or demand of any court or other public authority; (k) the filing or recording against any Obligor, or the property of any Obligor, of any notice of levy, notice to withhold, or other legal process for taxes other than property taxes; (l) the default by any Obligor personally liable for amounts owed hereunder on any obligation concerning the borrowing of money; (m) the issuance against any Obligor, or the property of any Obligor, of any writ of attachment, execution, or other judicial lien; or (n) the deterioration of the financial condition of any Obligor which results in Bank deeming itself, in good faith, insecure. Upon the occurrence of any such default, Bank, in its discretion, may cease to advance funds hereunder and may declare all obligations under this note immediately due and payable; however, upon the occurrence of an event of default under d, e, f, or g, all principal and interest shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

        6.     ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR.    If any amounts owing under this note are not paid when due, Debtor promises to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, (including the allocated costs of Bank's in-house counsel and legal staff) incurred by Bank in the negotiation, documentation and modification of this note and all related documents and in the collection or enforcement of any amount outstanding hereunder. Debtor and any Obligor, for the maximum period of time and the full extent permitted by law, (a) waive diligence, presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and notice of every kind; (b) waive the right to assert the defense of any statute of limitations to any debt or obligation hereunder; and (c) consent to renewals and extensions of time for the payment of any amounts due under this note. If this note is signed by more than one party, the term "Debtor" includes each of the undersigned and any successors in interest thereof; all of whose liability shall be joint and several. Any married person who signs this note agrees that recourse may be had against the separate property of that person for any obligations hereunder. The receipt of any check or other item of payment by Bank, at its option, shall not be

3



considered a payment on account until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment at the drawee bank. Bank may delay the credit of such payment based upon Bank's schedule of funds availability, and interest under this note shall accrue until the funds are deemed collected. In any action brought under or arising out of this note, Debtor and any Obligor, including their successors and assigns, hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any competent court within the State of California, as provided in any alternative dispute resolution agreement executed between Debtor and Bank, and consent to service of process by any means authorized by said state's law. The term "Bank" includes, without limitation, any holder of this note. This note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California. This note hereby incorporates any alternative dispute resolution agreement previously, concurrently or hereafter executed between Debtor and Bank.

        7.     DEFINITIONS.    As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings respectively set forth below: "Base Interest Rate" means a rate of interest based on the LIBOR Rate.
