PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON

June 21, 2007

INTRODUCTION

Proxy Solicitation And General Information

This Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy card (the “Proxy Card”) are being furnished to the holders of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of Clarus Corporation, a Delaware corporation (which is sometimes referred to in this Proxy Statement as “Clarus,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Thursday, June 21, 2007, at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, at our principal executive offices located at One Landmark Square, 22^nd Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Meeting”). This Proxy Statement and the Proxy Card are first being sent to stockholders on or about May 17, 2007.

At the Meeting, stockholders will be asked:

1. To elect four members to serve on the Board of Directors until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified (Proposal 1); and

The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on May 10, 2007 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Each such stockholder will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters to come before the Meeting and may vote in person or by proxy authorized in writing.

Stockholders are requested to complete, sign, date and promptly return the enclosed Proxy Card in the enclosed envelope. Proxy Cards which are not revoked will be voted at the meeting in accordance with instructions contained therein. If the Proxy Card is signed and returned without instructions, the shares will be voted FOR the election of each nominee for director named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal 1). A stockholder who so desires may revoke his previously submitted Proxy Card at any time before it is voted at the meeting by: (i) delivering written notice to us at Clarus Corporation, One Landmark Square, 22^nd Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, Attention Philip A. Baratelli, Secretary; (ii) duly executing and delivering a Proxy Card bearing a later date; or (iii) casting a ballot at the Meeting. Attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a Proxy Card.

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that are to be brought before the meeting other than as set forth in the Notice of Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of Proxy Card or their substitutes will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.

Record Date; Shares Outstanding And Entitled To Vote; Quorum

Only stockholders as of the close of business on May 10, 2007 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. As of April 27, 2007, there were 17,151,747 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, with each share entitled to one vote. See “Beneficial Ownership of Company Common Stock By Directors, Officers and Principal Stockholders” for information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by our directors, executive officers and stockholders known to us to own or control 5% or more of our common stock. The presence at the meeting, in person or by duly authorized proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote constitute a quorum for this meeting.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets Electronic Quotation Service under the symbol “CLRS.PK”. As of April 27, 2007, the last full trading date prior to the filing of this Proxy Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the reported closing price for the common stock as quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets Electronic Quotation Service was $8.90. Stockholders are urged to obtain the current market quotation for the shares of our common stock.

Required Votes

The presence at the Meeting, in person or by duly authorized proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. Each share of Clarus common stock entitles the holder to one vote on each matter presented for stockholder action. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy is necessary for the election of directors (Proposal 1).

An inspector of elections appointed by us will tabulate votes at the meeting. Since the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast is required for the election of directors (Proposal 1), abstentions and “broker non-votes” will have no effect on the outcome of such election.

Brokers holding shares for beneficial owners must vote those shares according to the specific instructions they receive from beneficial owners. If specific instructions are not received, brokers may be precluded from exercising their discretion, depending on the type of proposal involved. Shares as to which brokers have not exercised discretionary authority or received instructions from beneficial owners are considered “broker non-votes,” and will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

Proxy Solicitation; Expenses

Clarus will bear the costs of the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies from stockholders by mail, telephone, telegram, e-mail, personal interview or otherwise. Such directors, officers and employees will not receive additional compensation but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. Brokers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians have been requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of our common stock held of record by them and such parties will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses.

List of Stockholders

In accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), a list of Stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting will be available for ten days prior to the Meeting, for any purpose germane to the Meeting, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., local time, at our offices at One Landmark Square, 22nd Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901.

Voting Confidentiality

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations are handled on a confidential basis to protect your voting privacy. This information will not be disclosed to unrelated third parties except as required by law.

IT IS DESIRABLE THAT AS LARGE A PROPORTION AS POSSIBLE OF THE STOCKHOLDERS’ INTERESTS BE REPRESENTED AT THE MEETING. THEREFORE, EVEN IF YOU INTEND TO BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, PLEASE SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD TO ENSURE THAT YOUR STOCK WILL BE REPRESENTED. IF YOU ARE PRESENT AT THE MEETING AND DESIRE TO DO SO, YOU MAY WITHDRAW YOUR PROXY CARD AND VOTE IN PERSON BY GIVING WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY. PLEASE RETURN YOUR EXECUTED PROXY CARD PROMPTLY.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR EACH OF THE ABOVE-NAMED DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY

Corporate Governance

Our Board of Directors is committed to sound and effective corporate governance practices. The Company’s management and our Board of Directors reviewed our corporate governance practices in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the revised listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”). Based on that review, the Board of Directors maintains codes of ethics and conduct, corporate governance guidelines, committee charters, complaint procedures for accounting and auditing matters and an Audit Committee pre-approval policy.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Documents

The Code of Ethics for Senior Executive and Financial Officers, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors, Officers and Employees, Complaint Procedures for Accounting and Auditing Matters, the Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, and the Charters of our Audit, Compensation and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees were adopted by Clarus for the purpose of promoting honest and ethical conduct, promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in periodic reports required to be filed by Clarus, and promoting compliance with all applicable rules and regulations that apply to Clarus and its officers and directors. Our Codes of Ethics and Conduct, the Complaint Procedures for Accounting and Auditing Matters, the Corporate Governance Guidelines, and the Charters of our Audit, Compensation and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees are available at www.claruscorp.com, our Internet website, at the tab “Corporate Governance”. In addition, you may request a copy of any such materials, without charge, by submitting a written request to: Clarus Corporation, Attention the Secretary, One Landmark Square, 22^nd Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of the following four members: Warren B. Kanders, Burtt R. Ehrlich, Nicholas Sokolow and Donald L. House. During fiscal 2006, the Board of Directors held four meetings and has standing Audit, Compensation and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees. During fiscal 2006, all of the directors then in office attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the Committees of the Board of Directors on which they served. All of the members of our Board of Directors, who was also a director at the time, attended last year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders meeting which was held on June 21, 2006.

Director Independence

In accordance with the listing requirements of the NASDAQ, the Board of Directors has evaluated each of its directors’ independence from Clarus based on the definition of “independence” established by the NASDAQ. Based on the Board’s review and the NASDAQ definition of “independence”, the Board has determined that the Board is currently comprised of a majority of independent directors, consisting of each of the following directors: Messrs. Ehrlich, Sokolow and House. As required by the NASDAQ listing requirements, these independent directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. The Board has also determined that each of the members of our Audit Committee is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders may send communications to our Board of Directors or any committee thereof by writing to the Board of Directors or any committee thereof at Clarus Corporation, Attention the Secretary, One Landmark Square, 22^nd Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901. The Secretary will distribute all stockholder communications to the intended recipients and/or distribute to the entire Board, as appropriate.

In addition, stockholders may also contact any non-management director as a group or any individual director by writing to the non-management directors or the individual director, as applicable, at Clarus Corporation, One Landmark Square, 22^nd Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901.

Complaint Procedures

Complaints and concerns about accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing or related matters pertaining to the Company may be submitted by writing to the Chairman of the Audit Committee as follows: Clarus Corporation, Attention Chairman of the Audit Committee, One Landmark Square, 22^nd Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901. Complaints may be submitted on a confidential and anonymous basis by sending them in a sealed envelope marked “Confidential.”

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight and evaluation of (i) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors; (ii) the performance of our internal audit function; and (iii) the quality and integrity of our financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the committee recommends to the Board of Directors the appointment of independent auditors and analyzes the reports and recommendations of such auditors. The committee also prepares the Audit Committee report required by the rules of Securities and Exchange Commission, and the report is included in this proxy statement beginning on page 13. Our Audit Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. House, Ehrlich and Sokolow, with Mr. House serving as the Chairman. All of the members of our Audit Committee were determined by the Board to be independent of Clarus based on the NASDAQ’s definition of “independence”. Our Board of Directors currently does not have an audit committee financial expert (as such term is defined under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) serving on its Audit Committee. However, the Board of Directors is looking for and considering candidates to appoint to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee who will serve on the Audit Committee as an audit committee financial expert. The Audit Committee met four times during fiscal 2006. The Board of Directors has adopted a written Charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which was attached to our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 24, 2004 and is available at www.claruscorp.com, our Internet website, at the tab “Corporate Governance”.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee reviews recommendations for executive compensation, including incentive compensation and stock incentive plans and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning levels of compensation of our executive officers and other key managerial personnel as well as the adoption of incentive and stock plans. Pursuant to this Committee’s charter, this Committee’s authority generally includes the authority to do each of the following:

To assist the Board of Directors in developing and evaluating potential candidates for executive positions, including the Executive Chairman, and to oversee the development of executive succession plans.

To review and approve corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for the Company’s Executive Chairman, evaluate the Executive Chairman’s performance in light of those goals and objectives, and, either as a committee or together with the other independent directors, determine and approve the Executive Chairman’s compensation level based on this evaluation. In determining the long-term incentive component of the Executive Chairman’s compensation, the Committee shall consider the Company’s performance and relative stockholder return, the value of similar incentive awards to chief executive officers at comparable companies, and the awards given to the Company’s Executive Chairman in past years.

To make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to non- Executive Chairman compensation, incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans. The Committee shall also provide oversight of management’s decisions concerning the performance and compensation of other Company officers.

To review the Company's incentive compensation and other stock-based plans and recommend changes in such plans to the Board of Directors as needed. The Committee shall have and shall exercise all the authority of the Board of Directors with respect to the administration of such plans.

To produce this compensation committee report on executive compensation to be included in the Company’s proxy statement.

To review on an annual basis director compensation and benefits.

The Compensation Committee shall have authority to retain such compensation consultants, outside counsel and other advisors as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate in its sole discretion.

Our Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Ehrlich and Sokolow, with Mr. Sokolow serving as the Chairman, both of whom were determined by the Board to be independent of Clarus. The Compensation Committee does not meet on a regular basis, but only as circumstances require. The Compensation Committee met once during fiscal 2006.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

The purpose of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is to identify, evaluate and nominate candidates for election to the Board of Directors as well as review Clarus’ corporate governance guidelines and other related documents for compliance with applicable laws and regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the NASDAQ’s listing requirements. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by stockholders. The names of such nominees should be forwarded to Clarus Corporation, Attention the Secretary at One Landmark Square, 22^nd Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, who will submit them to the committee for its consideration. See “Requirements For Submission of Stockholder Proposals, Nomination of Directors and Other Business of Stockholders” for information on certain procedures that a stockholder must follow to nominate persons for election as directors. Our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Ehrlich, House and Sokolow, with Mr. Ehrlich serving as the Chairman, all of whom were determined by the Board to be independent of Clarus. The functions of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee were considered at and acted upon by the entire Board of Directors during its meetings in 2006. A copy of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee’s Charter is available on our Internet website at www.claruscorp.com, at the tab “Corporate Governance”.

The Company believes that candidates for the Board of Directors should possess fundamental qualities of intelligence, honesty, good judgment and high ethics; have no conflict of interest or legal impediment which would interfere with the duty of loyalty owed to Clarus and its stockholders; and have the ability and willingness to spend the time required to function effectively as a director of Clarus. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee may engage third-party search firms from time to time to assist it in identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee evaluates nominees recommended by stockholders, by other individuals and by the search firms and reviews biographical information furnished by or about the potential nominees to determine whether they have the experience and qualities discussed above.

Warren B. Kanders, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is not included in this table as he is an employee of the Company and thus receives no compensation for his service as director. The compensation for Mr. Kanders as an employee of the Company is described below in the Summary Compensation Table.

Discussion of Director Compensation

Our directors other than Mr. Kanders who is compensated pursuant to his employment agreement (which is described below under the heading “Employment Agreements”), are entitled to receive a payment of $2,000 for each regular and special meeting of the Board of Directors attended either in person or telephonically. From time to time, non-employee directors may also receive discretionary option or stock grants under equity incentive plans.

In setting director compensation, the Company considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties on our Board and Board committees as well as the skill-level required by the Company of members of the Board and the need to continue to attract highly qualified candidates to serve on our Board. Director compensation arrangements are reviewed annually to maintain such standards.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

No director, executive officer, or person nominated to become a director or executive officer has, within the last five years: (i) had a bankruptcy petition filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer appointed by a court for, any business of such person or entity with respect to which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (ii) been convicted in a criminal proceeding or is currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); (iii) been subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or practice; (iv) been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has appointed an Audit Committee consisting of three directors. Each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent from Clarus and is financially literate as that qualification is interpreted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter with respect to the Audit Committee’s roles and responsibilities.

Management is responsible for Clarus’ internal controls and the financial reporting process. The external auditor is responsible for performing an independent audit of Clarus’ consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

The Audit Committee has had various discussions with management and the independent auditors. Management represented to us that Clarus’ consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, and we have reviewed and discussed the quarterly and annual earnings press releases and consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication With Audit Committees), as amended, and Rule 2-07 (Communication With Audit Committees) of Regulation S-X.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and has discussed with the independent auditors their independence from Clarus and its management. The Audit Committee also considered whether the independent auditors’ provision of audit and non-audit services to Clarus is compatible with maintaining the independent auditors’ independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors the overall scope and plans for its audit. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors, with and without management present, the results of its examinations, the evaluations of Clarus’ internal controls, and the overall quality and integrity of financial reporting.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in Clarus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) assists the Board in establishing compensation packages for Clarus’ executive officers and non-employee directors and administering Clarus’ incentive plans. The Compensation Committee is generally responsible for setting and administering the policies which govern annual executive salaries, raises and bonuses and certain awards of stock options and common stock, and, where applicable, compliance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) and such responsibility is generally limited to the actions taken by the Compensation Committee, although at times the full Board has determined annual executive salaries, raises and, where the Company has determined that compliance with the provisions of Section 162(m) is not required, bonuses as well as grants of stock options and common stock without having first received recommendations from the Compensation Committee. From time to time, the Compensation Committee reviews our compensation packages to ensure that they remain competitive with the compensation packages offered by similarly-situated companies and continue to incentivize management and align management’s interests with those of our stockholders.

The Compensation Committee is comprised of two directors, each of whom has considerable experience in executive compensation issues. Each member of the Compensation Committee meets the independence requirements specified by the NASDAQ and by Section 162(m) of the IRC.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

The general philosophy of our executive compensation program is to attract and retain talented management while ensuring that our executive officers are compensated in a way that advances the interests of our stockholders. In pursuing these objectives, the Compensation Committee believes that it is critical that a substantial portion of each executive officer’s compensation be contingent upon our overall performance. The Compensation Committee is also guided by the principle that our compensation packages must be competitive, must support our overall strategy and objectives, and must provide significant rewards for outstanding financial performance while establishing clear consequences for underperformance. Annual bonuses and long-term awards for our executive officers should take into account not only objective financial goals, but also individual performance goals that reinforce our core values, which include leadership, accountability, ethics and corporate governance. It is the Compensation Committee’s responsibility to determine the performance goals for the performance-based compensation payable to our Named Executive Officers identified on the Summary Compensation Table on page 22 in compliance with Section 162(m) of the IRC, subject to ratification by the Board, and to certify compliance with such goals before such compensation is paid. Subject to this limitation, the Compensation Committee may also make recommendations to the Board with respect to non-Executive Chairman compensation and, either alone or with the other independent members of our Board, to determine and approve our Executive Chairman’s compensation.

In determining the compensation packages for our executive officers and non-employee directors, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors have evaluated the history and performance of Clarus, previous compensation practices and packages awarded to Clarus’ executive officers and non-employee directors, and compensation policies and packages awarded to executive officers and non-employee directors at similarly-situated companies.

Use of Outside Consultants

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain and terminate any independent compensation consultant and to obtain independent advice and assistance from internal and external legal, accounting and other advisors.

Compensation Program Components

Our executive compensation program emphasizes company performance, individual performance and an increase in stockholder value over time in determining executive pay levels. Our executive compensation program consists of three key elements: (i) annual base salaries; (ii) a performance-based annual bonus; and (iii) periodic grants of stock options and restricted stock. The Compensation Committee believes that this three-part approach best serves our and our stockholders’ interests by motivating executive officers to improve our financial position, holding executives accountable for the performance of the organizations for which they are responsible and by attracting key executives into our service. Under our compensation program, annual compensation for executive officers are composed of a significant portion of pay that is “at risk” — specifically, the annual bonus, stock options and restricted stock.

Annual Cash Compensation

Base Salary. In reviewing and approving the base salaries of our executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the scope of work and responsibilities, and other individual-specific factors; the recommendation of the Executive Chairman and (except in the case of his own compensation); compensation for similar positions at similarly-situated companies; and the executive's experience. Except where an existing agreement establishes an executive’s salary, the Compensation Committee reviews executive officer salaries annually at the end of the fiscal year and establishes the base salaries for the upcoming fiscal year. In 2006, the salaries for the Company’s Named Executive Officers (other than Ms. Luckfield) were established pursuant to their respective employment agreements.

Performance-Based Annual Bonus. With regard to the compensation of the Named Executive Officers subject to Section 162(m) of the IRC, the Compensation Committee establishes the performance goals and then certifies the satisfaction of such performance goals prior to the payment of the performance-based bonus compensation. In reviewing and approving the annual performance-based bonus for our executive officers, the Compensation Committee may also consider an executive’s contribution to the overall performance of Clarus as well as annual bonuses awarded to persons holding similar positions at similarly-situated companies.

Equity-Based Compensation

Executive officers of Clarus and other key employees who contribute to the growth, development and financial success of Clarus are eligible to be awarded stock options to purchase our common stock, shares of restricted common stock, and bonuses of shares of common stock under our equity incentive plans. Awards under this plan help relate a significant portion of an employee’s long-term remuneration directly to stock price appreciation realized by all our stockholders and aligns an employee’s interests with that of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes equity-based incentive compensation aligns executive and stockholder interests because (i) the use of a multi-year lock-up or vesting schedule or milestone based vesting schedule for equity awards encourages executive retention and emphasizes long-term growth, and (ii) paying a significant portion of management’s compensation in our equity provides management with a powerful incentive to increase stockholder value over the long term. In connection with the Company’s prior acceleration of the vesting and issuance of certain stock options, the Company required the optionees to execute lock-up, confidentiality and non-competition agreements as a condition to the acceleration of such stock options. Such lock-up, confidentiality and non-competition agreements executed with the Company’s employees provide the Company with added protection. The Compensation Committee determines appropriate individual long-term incentive awards in the exercise of its discretion in view of the above criteria and applicable policies.

Perquisites and Other Personal and Additional Benefits

Executive officers participate in other employee benefit plans generally available to all employees on the same terms as similarly situated employees.

The Company maintains a qualified 401(k) plan that provides for a Company contribution based on a matching schedule of a maximum of 6% up to the applicable IRS limits.

The Company also provides Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Company and the Compensation Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to Named Executive Officers.

The costs to the Company associated with providing these benefits for executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table are reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Accounting and Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the IRC generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation other than performance-based compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any fiscal year to an individual who, on the last day of the taxable year, was (i) the Chief Executive Officer or (ii) among the four other highest compensated executive officers whose compensation is required to be reported in the Summary Compensation Table contained herein. Compensation programs generally will qualify as performance-based if (1) compensation is based on pre-established objective performance targets, (2) the programs’ material features have been approved by stockholders, and (3) there is no discretion to increase payments after the performance targets have been established for the performance period. The Compensation Committee desires to maximize deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the IRC to the extent practicable while maintaining a competitive, performance-based compensation program. However, the Compensation Committee also believes that it must reserve the right to award compensation which it deems to be in our best interest and our stockholders but which may not be tax deductible under Section 162(m) of the IRC.

Post-Employment and Other Events

Retirement, death, disability and change-in-control events trigger the payment of certain compensation to the Named Executive Officers that is not available to all salaried members. Such compensation is discussed under the headings “Employment Agreements” and “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee determines the total compensation of our Executive Chairman and oversees the design and administration of compensation and benefit plans for all of the Company’s employees. Certain executive officers, including the Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer may attend a portion of most regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meetings, excluding executive sessions. The Compensation Committee also obtains input from our legal, finance and tax functions, as appropriate.

Summary

The Compensation Committee believes that the total compensation package has been designed to motivate key management to improve the operations and financial performance of the Company, thereby increasing the market value of our Common Stock. The tables in this Executive Compensation section reflect the compensation structure established by the Compensation Committee.

Summary Compensation Table

The following summary compensation table sets forth information concerning the annual and long-term compensation earned for the periods presented below by our executive officers and persons as to whom disclosure is required under the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”).

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

The tables below reflect the amount of compensation to each of the Named Executive Officers of the Company in the event of termination of such executive’s employment. The amount of compensation payable to each Named Executive Officer upon voluntary termination; retirement; involuntary not-for-cause termination; involuntary for cause termination; termination following a change of control; retention following a change of control and in the event of disability or death of the executive is shown below. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2006, and thus includes amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to the executives upon their termination. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company.

Payments Made Upon Termination

Regardless of the manner in which a Named Executive Officer’s employment terminates, he or she may be entitled to receive amounts earned during his or her term of employment.

Payments Made Upon Retirement

In the event of the retirement of a Named Executive Officer, no additional benefits are paid.

Payments Made Upon a Change of Control

The Company has entered into employment agreements containing change in control provisions with each Named Executive Officer (other than Mr. Baratelli and Ms. Luckfield). Pursuant to these agreements, if a Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated following a change of control (other than termination by the Company for cause or by reason of death or disability) or if the executive terminates his employment in certain circumstances defined in the agreement which constitute “good reason”, in addition to the benefits listed under the heading “Payments Made Upon Termination”, then the Named Executive Officer will receive the following additional benefits:

All stock options and restricted stock held by the Named Executive Officer will automatically vest become exercisable and lockup provisions will be released;

With respect to Mr. Kanders, in the event of a change in control which results in an involuntary or voluntary termination, he will continue to receive his base compensation, in accordance with Clarus’ normal payroll practices, for a period of 24 months after the effective date of such termination.

Generally, pursuant to the agreements, a change of control is deemed to occur in the event that:

the current members of the Board cease to constitute a majority of the Board;

the Company shall have been sold by either (i) a sale of all or substantially all its assets, or (ii) a merger or consolidation, other than any merger or consolidation pursuant to which the Company acquires another entity, or (iii) a tender offer, whether solicited or unsolicited; or

any party, other than the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of voting securities representing 50% or more of the total voting power of the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Warren B. Kanders

In December 2002, we entered into an employment agreement with Warren B. Kanders, which provides that he will serve as Clarus’ Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and devote as much of his time as is necessary to perform such duties for a three-year term that was extended on May 1, 2006 and is subject to termination at anytime by the Company or Mr. Kanders. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $250,000. In addition, Mr. Kanders is entitled, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, to performance bonuses which may be based upon a variety of factors and to participate in our stock incentive plans and other bonus plans adopted by us. We also maintain term life insurance on Mr. Kanders in the amount of $2,000,000 for the benefit of his designees. In connection with his employment agreement, in December 2002, Mr. Kanders received ten-year options to purchase up to (i) 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $5.35 per share; (ii) 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $7.50 per share; and (iii) 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. On April 11, 2003, Mr. Kanders received a grant of 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, with full voting, dividend, distribution and other rights, which vest and become nonforfeitable if Mr. Kanders is an employee and/or a director of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company on the earlier of (i) the date the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as listed or quoted on any national securities exchange or NASDAQ, shall have equaled or exceeded $15.00 per share for each of the trading days during a ninety (90) consecutive day period, or (ii) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the date of grant; provided however, that all of the restricted shares immediately vest and become nonforfeitable upon a “change in control” or in the event Mr. Kanders’ employment with the Company is terminated without “cause”. On December 30, 2005, our Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of 400,000 unvested stock options previously awarded to Mr. Kanders pursuant to his employment agreement. In connection with such acceleration of unvested stock options, Mr. Kanders entered into a lock-up, confidentiality and non-competition agreement with the Company. Mr. Kanders’ employment agreement provides that if it shall be determined that any payment or benefit provided to Mr. Kanders pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement ( “Total Payment”) would be subject, in whole or in part, to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Mr. Kanders shall be entitled to receive from the Company an additional payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that the net amount of the Total Payment and the Gross-Up Payment retained by Mr. Kanders after the calculation and deduction of all Excise Taxes on the Total Payments and all federal, state and local income tax, employment tax and Excise Tax on the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments.

Nigel P. Ekern

In December 2002, we entered into an employment agreement with Nigel P. Ekern, which is effective as of November 25, 2002, which provides that he will serve as our Chief Administrative Officer and devote as much of his time as is necessary to perform such duties for a three-year term that was extended on May 1, 2006 and is subject to termination at anytime by the Company or Mr. Ekern. Mr. Ekern’s employment agreement with us otherwise remains in full force and effect. During 2005, Mr. Ekern received an aggregate base salary of $200,000, an increase of $25,000 above the $175,000 base salary he is to receive in accordance with his employment agreement. Under the terms of his employment agreement with us, in December 2002, Mr. Ekern received ten-year options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $5.35 per share. In addition, Mr. Ekern is entitled, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, to performance bonuses which may be based upon a variety of factors and to participate in our stock incentive plans and other bonus plans adopted by us. We also maintain a term life insurance on Mr. Ekern in the amount of $2,000,000 for the benefit of his designees. On December 30, 2005, our Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of 93,334 unvested stock options previously awarded to Mr. Ekern pursuant to his employment agreement. In connection with such acceleration of unvested stock options, Mr. Ekern entered into a lock-up, confidentiality and non-competition agreement with the Company.

In the event Mr. Ekern is terminated by the Company upon a “change in control”, he is entitled to receive accrued base compensation through the date of such termination and will also be entitled to acceleration of the vesting on all options to purchase shares of common stock. In the event Mr. Ekern is terminated by the Company without “cause,” he is entitled to receive his base compensation twelve months after such termination. Mr. Ekern has also agreed to certain confidentiality and non-competition provisions.

Mr. Ekern resigned as the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer effective as of December 31, 2006.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER

PARTICIPATION

During fiscal 2006, none of the members of our Compensation Committee (i) served as an officer or employee of Clarus or its subsidiaries, (ii) was formerly an officer of Clarus or its subsidiaries or (iii) entered into any transactions with Clarus or its subsidiaries. During fiscal 2006, none of our executive officers (i) served as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing similar functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Compensation Committee, (ii) served as director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Compensation Committee, or (iii) served as member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing similar functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of Clarus.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In September 2003, the Company and Kanders & Company, an entity owned and controlled by the Company's Executive Chairman, Warren B. Kanders, entered into a 15-year lease with a five-year renewal option, as co-tenants to lease approximately 11,500 square feet in Stamford, Connecticut. The Company and Kanders & Company have initially agreed to allocate the total lease payments of $24,438 per month on the basis of Kanders & Company renting 2,900 square feet initially for $6,163 per month, and the Company renting 8,600 square feet initially for $18,275 per month, which are subject to increases during the term of the lease. Rent expense is recognized on a straight line basis. The lease provides the co-tenants with an option to terminate the lease in years eight and ten in consideration for a termination payment. The Company and Kanders & Company agreed to pay for their proportionate share of the build-out construction costs, fixtures, equipment and furnishings related to preparation of the space. In connection with the lease, the Company obtained a stand-by letter of credit in the amount of $850,000 to secure lease obligations for the Stamford facility. Kanders & Company reimburses the Company for a pro rata portion of the approximately $5,000 annual cost of the letter of credit.

The Company provides certain telecommunication, administrative and other office services as well as accounting and bookkeeping services to Kanders & Company that are reimbursed by Kanders & Company. Such services aggregated $123,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company paid approximately $64,000 to Kanders Aviation LLC, an affiliate of the Company's Executive Chairman, Warren B. Kanders, relating to aircraft travel by directors and officers of the Company for potential redeployment transactions.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding a receivable of approximately $76,000 from Kanders & Company which was paid in January 2007.

The Company provides certain telecommunication, administrative and other office services to Net Perceptions, Inc., an entity it shares office spare with, that are reimbursed by Net Perceptions. Such services aggregated $63,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. Warren B. Kanders, our Executive Chairman, also serves as the non-Executive Chairman of Net Perceptions.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding a receivable of approximately $44,000 from Net Perceptions which was paid in March 2007.

In the opinion of management, the rates, terms and considerations of the transactions with the related parties described above are at least as favorable as those we could have obtained in arms length negotiations or otherwise are at prevailing market prices and terms.

The Board of Directors has a general practice of requiring directors interested in a transaction not to participate in deliberations or to vote upon transactions in which they have an interest, and to be sure that transactions with directors, executive officers and major shareholders are on terms that align the interests of the parties to such agreements with the interests of the stockholders.

OTHER MATTERS

If any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is intended that the shares represented by the proxies will be voted, in the absence of contrary instructions, in the discretion of the persons named in the Proxy Card.
