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

Gentlemen:

     We are counsel to Messrs. Kanders, Ehrlich and Sokolow who, as you know,
are seeking election to the Board of Directors of Clarus Corporation. During
your conference call with them this afternoon, you requested copies of their
letters to Clarus Corporation. In order to avoid the requirement to refile their
correspondence with the S.E.C., we direct your attention to Schedule 13D filed
by the Kanders Nominees on April 12, 2002, to which is appended Mr. Kanders'
letter dated March 20, 2002 to the Chairman of the Board and to the Board of
Directors of Clarus Corporation and letters dated April 1, 2002 and April 9,
2002 from members of this firm.

     For the same reason, we suggest that you obtain directly from Clarus
Corporation their letters dated March 29, 2002 and April 5, 2002, responding to
our correspondence.

     On a different matter, it has just come to our attention that despite the
filing by the Kanders Nominees of their preliminary proxy statement with the
S.E.C. on April 24, 2002 and their definitive proxy statement on May 6, 2002,
ISS issued its recommendation to vote FOR the election of management's nominees
to the Clarus Board on May 7, 2002 without having given consideration to the
proxy contest. ISS has subsequently issued an "Alert" to its clients withdrawing
that recommendation. While we appreciate ISS's prompt action to attempt to
rectify its error, we are extremely concerned that the ISS Alert will not be
adequately disseminated amongst public shareholders who may be aware of ISS'
initial recommendation.

     Accordingly, we urge ISS to immediately issue a press release disclosing
the Alert and that its initial recommendation to vote for management's nominees
has been withdrawn. We believe



that only in this manner can ISS avoid the risk of selective disclosure and the
possibility that it may have inadvertently created an unlevel playing field
between the proxy contestants.

     We would be pleased to discuss this matter with you by telephone this
afternoon should you so desire. Alternatively, we would appreciate your
confirmation that ISS will issue an appropriate press release today addressing
our concerns.

     On behalf of the Kanders Nominees, we wish to thank you for the time and
courtesy you afforded them this afternoon. Should you have any questions
concerning their presentation or require any additional information, please feel
free to telephone Mr. Kanders directly at (203) 552-9600.


                                                  Very truly yours,


                                                  Jeffrey S. Tullman
