Exhibit 10.5  

 
 

CROCS, INC.    
    
    STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT    
    

        This Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into this            day
of                        ,            by and between
CROCS, INC., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), and                        ("Optionee"). 

RECITALS 

        A.    The
Board has adopted the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which Optionee has been granted an option to acquire shares of Common Stock as specified in
a Notice of Grant of Stock Option (the "Grant Notice"). 

        B.    Optionee
desires to exercise his or her option to purchase some or all of the option shares (as specified in the Grant Notice). 

        C.    Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice. 

ARTICLE I

EXERCISE OF OPTION 

        Section 1.1    Exercise.    Optionee hereby purchases            shares of Common Stock (the "Purchased
Shares") pursuant to that certain option (the "Option") granted Optionee on                        ,
            (the "Grant Date") to purchase up
to                        shares of Common Stock (the "Option
Shares") under the Plan at the exercise price of $                        per share (the "Exercise Price"). 

        Section 1.2    Payment.    Concurrently with the delivery of this Agreement to the Company, Optionee shall pay
the Exercise Price for the Purchased Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Grant
Notice (the "Option Agreement") and shall deliver whatever additional documents may be required by the Option Agreement as a condition for exercise, together with a duly-executed blank
Assignment Separate from Certificate (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I) with respect to the Purchased Shares. 

        Section 1.3    Stockholder Rights.    Until such time as the Company exercises the Repurchase Right or the
First Refusal Right, Optionee (or any successor in interest) shall have all the rights of a stockholder (including voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Purchased Shares,
subject, however, to the transfer restrictions of Articles II and III. 

ARTICLE II

SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE 

        Section 2.1    Restricted Securities.    The Purchased Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and
are being issued to Optionee in reliance upon the exemption from such registration provided by SEC Rule 701 for stock issuances under compensatory benefit plans such as the Plan. Optionee
hereby confirms that Optionee has been informed that the Purchased Shares are restricted securities under the 1933 Act and may not be resold or transferred unless the Purchased Shares are first
registered under the Federal securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly, Optionee hereby acknowledges that Optionee is acquiring the Purchased Shares for
investment purposes only and not with a view to resale and is prepared to hold the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period and that Optionee is aware that SEC Rule 144 issued under the 1933
Act 

 

which
exempts certain resales of unrestricted securities is not presently available to exempt the resale of the Purchased Shares from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. 

        Section 2.2    Restrictions on Disposition of Purchased Shares.    Optionee shall make no disposition of the
Purchased Shares (other than a Permitted Transfer) unless and until there is compliance with all of the following requirements: 

        (a)   Optionee
shall have provided the Company with a written summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed disposition. 

        (b)   Optionee
shall have complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Purchased Shares. 

        (c)   Optionee
shall have provided the Company with written assurances, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that (a) the proposed disposition does not
require registration of the Purchased Shares under the 1933 Act or (b) all appropriate action necessary for compliance with the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or any exemption from
registration available under the 1933 Act (including Rule 144) has been taken. 

        The
Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Purchased Shares which have been sold or transferred in
violation of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as the owner of the Purchased Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, dividend or
liquidation rights to, any transferee to whom the Purchased Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement. 

        For
purposes of this Agreement "Permitted Transfer" shall mean (i) a gratuitous transfer of the Purchased Shares, provided and only if Optionee obtains the Company's prior written
consent to such transfer, (ii) a transfer of title to the Purchased Shares effected pursuant to Optionee's will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee's death or (iii) a transfer
to the Company in pledge as security for any purchase-money indebtedness incurred by Optionee in connection with the acquisition of the Purchased Shares. 

        Section 2.3    Restrictive Legends.    The stock certificates for the Purchased Shares shall be endorsed with
one or more of the following restrictive legends: 

        "The
shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of (a) an
effective registration statement for the shares under such Act, (b) a "no action" letter of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to such sale or offer or (c) satisfactory
assurances to the Company that registration under such Act is not required with respect to such sale or offer." 

        "The
shares represented by this certificate are subject to certain repurchase rights and rights of first refusal granted to the Company and accordingly may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, encumbered, or in any manner disposed of except in conformity with the terms of a written agreement
dated                        , 20    between the Company and the registered holder
of the shares (or the predecessor in interest to the shares). A copy of such agreement is maintained at the Company's principal corporate offices." 

ARTICLE III

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS 

        Section 3.1    Restriction on Transfer.    Except for any Permitted Transfer, Optionee shall not transfer,
assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased Shares which are subject to the Repurchase Right (as defined below). In addition, Purchased Shares which are released from the Repurchase
Right shall not be transferred, assigned, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in 

2

 

contravention
of the First Refusal Right (as defined below) or the Market Stand-Off (as defined below). 

        Section 3.2    Transferee Obligations.    Each person (other than the Company) to whom the Purchased Shares are
transferred by means of a Permitted Transfer must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Company that such person is bound by the provisions of this
Agreement and that the transferred shares are subject to (i) the Repurchase Right, (ii) the First Refusal Right and (iii) the Market Stand-Off, to the same extent such
shares would be so subject if retained by Optionee. 

        Section 3.3    Market Stand-Off.    

        (a)   In
connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act,
including the Company's initial public offering, Optionee and all subsequent holders of the Purchased Shares who derive their chain of ownership through a Permitted Transfer from Optionee
(collectively, "Owner") shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage
in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Purchased Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off")
shall be in effect for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however,
shall such period exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, and
the Market Stand-Off shall in no event be applicable to any underwritten public offering effected more than two (2) years after the effective date of the Company's initial public
offering. 

        (b)   Owner
shall be subject to the Market Stand-Off provided and only if the officers and directors of the Company are also subject to similar restrictions. 

        (c)   Any
new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of any Recapitalization or Reorganization distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be
immediately subject to the Market Stand-Off, to the same extent the Purchased Shares are at such time covered by such provisions. 

        (d)   In
order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Purchased Shares until the end of
the applicable stand-off period. 

ARTICLE IV

REPURCHASE RIGHT 

        Section 4.1    Grant.    The Company is hereby granted the right (the "Repurchase Right"), exercisable at any
time during the sixty (60)-day period following the date Optionee ceases for any reason to remain in Service or (if later) during the sixty (60)-day period following the
execution date of this Agreement, to repurchase at the lower of (i) the per share Exercise Price or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of Optionee's
cessation of Service (the amount determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, being referred to herein as the "Repurchase Price") any or all of the Purchased Shares in which
Optionee is not, at the time of his or her cessation of Service, vested in accordance with the vesting schedule specified in the Grant Notice (the "Vesting Schedule") applicable to those shares or the
special vesting acceleration provisions of Section 4.6 of this Agreement (such shares to be hereinafter referred to as the "Unvested Shares"). 

        Section 4.2    Exercise of the Repurchase Right.    The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice
delivered to each Owner of the Unvested Shares prior to the expiration of the sixty (60)-day exercise period. The notice shall indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased, 

3

 

the
Repurchase Price to be paid per share and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. The certificates
representing the Unvested Shares to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Company on the closing date specified for the repurchase. Concurrently with the receipt of such stock certificates, the
Company shall pay to Owner, in cash or cash equivalents (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness), an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for the Unvested Shares which are to be
repurchased from Owner. 

        Section 4.3    Termination of the Repurchase Right.    The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any
Unvested Shares for which it is not timely exercised under Section 4.2. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate and cease to be exercisable with respect to any and all Purchased
Shares in which Optionee vests in accordance with the Vesting Schedule. All Purchased Shares as to which the Repurchase Right lapses shall, however, remain subject to (i) the First Refusal
Right and (ii) the Market Stand-Off. 

        Section 4.4    Aggregate Vesting Limitation.    If the Option is exercised in more than one increment so that
Optionee is a party to one or more other Stock Purchase Agreements (the "Prior Purchase Agreements") which are executed prior to the date of this Agreement, then the total number of Purchased Shares
as to which Optionee shall be deemed to have a fully-vested interest under this Agreement and all Prior Purchase Agreements shall not exceed in the aggregate the number of Purchased Shares in which
Optionee would otherwise at the time be vested, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, had all the Purchased Shares (including those acquired under the Prior Purchase Agreements) been acquired
exclusively under this Agreement. 

        Section 4.5    Recapitalization.    Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including
cash paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right and
any escrow requirements hereunder, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right or escrow requirements. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such distribution shall
be made to the number and/or class of Purchased Shares subject to this Agreement and to the Repurchase Price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the
effect of any such Recapitalization upon the Company's capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate Repurchase Price shall remain the same. 

        Section 4.6    Change in Control.    The Repurchase Right shall automatically terminate in its entirety, and
all the Purchased Shares shall vest in full, immediately prior to the consummation of any Change in Control. 

ARTICLE V

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL 

        Section 5.1    Grant.    The Company is hereby granted the right of first refusal (the "First Refusal Right"),
exercisable in connection with any proposed transfer of the Purchased Shares in which Optionee has vested in accordance with the provisions of Article IV. For purposes of this Article V
the term "transfer" shall include any sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of the Purchased Shares intended to be made by Owner, but shall not include any Permitted Transfer. 

        Section 5.2    Notice of Intended Disposition.    In the event any Owner of Purchased Shares in which Optionee
has vested desires to accept a bona fide third-party offer for the transfer of any or all of such shares (the Purchased Shares subject to such offer to be hereinafter referred to as the "Target
Shares"), Owner shall promptly (i) deliver to the Company written notice (the "Disposition Notice") of the terms of the offer, including the purchase price and the identity of the third-party
offeror, and 

4

 

(ii) provide
satisfactory proof that the disposition of the Target Shares to such third-party offeror would not be in contravention of the provisions set forth in Articles II
and III. 

        Section 5.3    Exercise of the First Refusal Right.    The Company shall, for a period of
twenty-five (25) days following receipt of the Disposition Notice, have the right to repurchase any or all of the Target Shares subject to the Disposition Notice upon the same terms
as those specified therein or upon such other terms (not materially different from those specified in the Disposition Notice) to which Owner consents. Such right shall be exercisable by delivery of
written notice (the "Exercise Notice") to Owner prior to the expiration of the twenty-five (25)-day exercise period. If such right is exercised with respect to all the Target
Shares, then the Company shall effect the repurchase of such shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than five (5) business days after delivery of the Exercise Notice;
and at such time the certificates representing the Target Shares shall be delivered to the Company. 

        Should
the purchase price specified in the Disposition Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company shall have the right to pay the purchase
price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property. If Owner and the Company cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) days after the Company's receipt of the
Disposition Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by Owner and the Company or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after
the Company's receipt of the Disposition Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two (2) appraisers shall designate a
third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by Owner and the Company. The closing shall then be
held on the later of (i) the fifth (5th) business day following delivery of the Exercise Notice or (ii) the fifth (5th) business day after
such valuation shall have been made. 

        Section 5.4    Non-Exercise of the First Refusal Right.    In the event the Exercise Notice is not
given to Owner prior to the expiration of the twenty-five (25)-day exercise period, Owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days thereafter in which to sell or
otherwise dispose of the Target Shares to the third-party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice upon terms (including the purchase price) no more favorable to such third-party offeror than
those specified in the Disposition Notice; provided, however, that any such sale or disposition must not be effected in contravention of the provisions of Articles II and III. The third-party offeror
shall acquire the Target Shares subject to the First Refusal Right and the provisions and restrictions of Article II and Section 3.3, and any subsequent disposition of the acquired
shares must be effected in compliance with the terms and conditions of such First Refusal Right and the provisions and restrictions of Article II and Section 3.3. In the event Owner does
not effect such sale or disposition of the Target Shares within the specified thirty (30)-day period, the First Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition
of the Target Shares by Owner until such right lapses. 

        Section 5.5    Partial Exercise of the First Refusal Right.    In the event the Company makes a timely exercise
of the First Refusal Right with respect to a portion, but not all, of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice, Owner shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Company
delivered within five (5) business days after Owner's receipt of the Exercise Notice, to effect the sale of the Target Shares pursuant to either of the following alternatives: 

        (a)   sale
or other disposition of all the Target Shares to the third-party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice, but in full compliance with the requirements of
Section 5.4, as if the Company did not exercise the First Refusal Right; or 

        (b)   sale
to the Company of the portion of the Target Shares which the Company has elected to purchase, such sale to be effected in substantial conformity with the provisions
of Section 5.3. The First Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the remaining Target Shares until such right lapses. 

5

 

        Owner's
failure to deliver timely notification to the Company shall be deemed to be an election by Owner to sell the Target Shares pursuant to alternative (i) above. 

        Section 5.6    Recapitalization/Reorganization.    

        (a)   Any
new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be
immediately subject to the First Refusal Right, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right. 

        (b)   In
the event of a Reorganization, the First Refusal Right shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to the new capital stock or other property received in
exchange for the Purchased Shares in consummation of the Reorganization, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right. 

        Section 5.7    Lapse.    The First Refusal Right shall lapse upon the  earliestto occur of (i) the first date on which shares of the
Common Stock are held of record by more than five hundred (500) persons,
(ii) a determination made by the Board that a public market exists for the outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iii) a firm commitment underwritten public offering, pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, covering the offer and sale of the Common Stock in the aggregate amount of at least twenty million dollars ($20,000,000). However, the
Market Stand-Off shall continue to remain in full force and effect following the lapse of the First Refusal Right. 

ARTICLE VI

SPECIAL TAX ELECTION 

        The
acquisition of the Purchased Shares may result in adverse tax consequences which may be avoided or mitigated by filing an election under Code Section 83(b). Such election must
be filed within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement. A description of the tax consequences applicable to the acquisition of the Purchased Shares and the form for making the Code
Section 83(b) election are set forth in Exhibit II. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER TAX ADVISOR TO
DETERMINE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING THE PURCHASED SHARES AND THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF FILING THE CODE SECTION 83(b) ELECTION. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS OPTIONEE'S SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS OR HER
BEHALF.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

        Section 7.1    Assignment.    The Company may assign the Repurchase Right and/or the First Refusal Right to any
person or entity selected by the Board, including one or more stockholders of the Company. 

        Section 7.2    At Will Employment.    Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Optionee any
right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining
Optionee) or of Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Optionee's Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause. 

        Section 7.3    Notices.    Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall
be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, registered or 

6

 

certified,
postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party entitled to such notice at the address indicated below such party's signature line on this Agreement or at such other address as such
party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice under this paragraph to all other parties to this Agreement. 

        Section 7.4    No Waiver.    The failure of the Company in any instance to exercise the Repurchase Right or the
First Refusal Right shall not constitute a waiver of any other repurchase rights and/or rights of first refusal that may subsequently arise under the provisions of this Agreement or any other
agreement between the Company and Optionee. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or
different nature. 

        Section 7.5    Cancellation of Shares.    If the Company shall make available, at the time and place and in the
amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the person
from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this
Agreement). Such shares shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the Company shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not the
certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement. 

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

        Section 8.1    Optionee Undertaking.    Optionee hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and execute
whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Optionee or the Purchased
Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. 

        Section 8.2    Agreement is Entire Contract.    This Agreement constitutes the entire contract between the
parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and shall in all respects be construed in conformity with the terms of the Plan.

laws of the State of Delaware without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules. 

        Section 8.4    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed

EXHIBIT II    
    
    FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND SECTION 83(b) TAX ELECTION    
    

        I.    Federal Income Tax Consequences and Section 83(b) Election For Exercise of Non-Statutory
Option.    If the Purchased Shares are acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Non-Statutory Option, as specified in the Grant Notice, then under Code
Section 83, the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the Exercise Price paid for those shares
will be reportable as ordinary income on the lapse date. For this purpose, the term "forfeiture restrictions" includes the right of the Company to repurchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the
Repurchase Right. However, Optionee may elect under Code Section 83(b) to be taxed at the time the Purchased Shares are acquired, rather than when and as such Purchased Shares cease to
be subject to such forfeiture restrictions. Such election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date of the Agreement. Even if the Fair Market Value
of the Purchased Shares on the date of the Agreement equals the Exercise Price paid (and thus no tax is payable), the election must be made to avoid adverse tax consequences in the future. The form
for making this election is attached as part of this exhibit. FAILURE TO MAKE THIS FILING WITHIN THE APPLICABLE THIRTY (30)-DAY PERIOD WILL
RESULT IN THE RECOGNITION OF ORDINARY INCOME BY OPTIONEE AS THE FORFEITURE RESTRICTIONS LAPSE. 

        II.    Federal Income Tax Consequences and Conditional Section 83(b) Election For Exercise of Incentive
Option.    If the Purchased Shares are acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Option, as specified in the Grant Notice, then the following tax principles
shall be applicable to the Purchased Shares: 

          (i)  For
regular tax purposes, no taxable income will be recognized at the time the Option is exercised. 

         (ii)  The
excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the date the Option is exercised or (if later) on the date any forfeiture restrictions
applicable to the Purchased Shares lapse over (b) the Exercise Price paid for the Purchased Shares will be includible in Optionee's taxable income for alternative minimum tax purposes. 

        (iii)  If
Optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the Purchased Shares, then Optionee will recognize ordinary income in the year of such disposition equal in amount to
the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the date the Option is exercised or (if later) on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Purchased Shares
lapse over (b) the Exercise Price paid for the Purchased Shares. Any additional gain recognized upon the disqualifying disposition will be either short-term or long-term
capital gain depending upon the period for which the Purchased Shares are held prior to the disposition. 

        (iv)  For
purposes of the foregoing, the term "forfeiture restrictions" will include the right of the Company to repurchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Repurchase
Right. The term "disqualifying disposition" means any sale or other disposition1 of the Purchased Shares within two (2) years after the Grant Date or within one (1) year
after the exercise date of the Option. 

	(1)
	Generally,
a disposition of shares purchased under an Incentive Option includes any transfer of legal title, including a transfer by sale, exchange or gift, but does not include a
transfer to the Optionee's spouse, a transfer into joint ownership with right of survivorship if Optionee remains one of the joint owners, a pledge, a transfer by bequest or inheritance or certain
tax-free exchanges permitted under the Code. 

         (v)  In
the absence of final Treasury Regulations relating to Incentive Options, it is not certain whether Optionee may, in connection with the exercise of the Option for any
Purchased Shares at 

II-1

 

the
time subject to forfeiture restrictions, file a protective election under Code Section 83(b) which would limit Optionee's ordinary income upon a disqualifying disposition to
the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the date the Option is exercised over the Exercise Price paid for the Purchased Shares. Accordingly, such election if properly filed will
only be allowed to the extent the final Treasury Regulations permit such a protective election. 

        (iv)  The
Code Section 83(b) election will be effective in limiting the Optionee's alternative minimum taxable income to the excess of the Fair Market Value of
the Purchased Shares at the time the Option is exercised over the Exercise Price paid for those shares. 

        Page 2
of the attached form for making the election should be filed with any election made in connection with the exercise of an Incentive Option.

SECTION 83(b) ELECTION    
    

        This statement is being made under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.83-2. 

	(1)
	The
taxpayer who performed the services is:

	

	Name:

Address:

Taxpayer Ident. No.:

	(2)
	The
property with respect to which the election is being made is                        shares of the common stock of CROCS, INC.

	(3)
	The
property was issued on                        , 20    .

	(4)
	The
taxable year in which the election is being made is the calendar year        .

	(5)
	The
property is subject to a repurchase right pursuant to which the issuer has the right to acquire the property at the lower of the
purchase price paid per share or the fair market value per share, if for any reason taxpayer's service with the issuer terminates. The issuer's repurchase right will lapse in a series of annual and
monthly installments over a four (4)-year period ending on                        , 20    .

	(6)
	The
fair market value at the time of transfer (determined without regard to any restriction other than a restriction which by its terms will never lapse) is
$                        per share.

	(7)
	The
amount paid for such property is $                        per share.

	(8)
	A
copy of this statement was furnished to CROCS, INC. for whom taxpayer rendered the services underlying the transfer of property.

	(9)
	This
statement is executed on                        , 20    . 

	
 Spouse (if any)	 	
 Taxpayer

        This election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Center with which taxpayer files his or her Federal income tax returns and must be made within
thirty (30) days after the execution date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. This filing should be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. Optionee must retain two
(2) copies of the completed form for filing with his or her Federal and state tax returns for the current tax year and an additional copy for his or her records.

        The
property described in the above Section 83(b) election is comprised of shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Accordingly, it is the intent of the Taxpayer to utilize this election to achieve the following tax results: 

        1.     One
purpose of this election is to have the alternative minimum taxable income attributable to the purchased shares measured by the amount by which the fair market value
of such shares at the time of their transfer to the Taxpayer exceeds the purchase price paid for the shares. In the absence of this election, such alternative minimum taxable income would be measured
by the spread between the fair market value of the purchased shares and the purchase price which exists on the various lapse dates in effect for the forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares. 

        2.     Section 421(a)(1) of
the Code expressly excludes from income any excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares over the amount paid for such
shares. Accordingly, this election is also intended to be effective in the event there is a "disqualifying disposition" of the shares, within the meaning of Section 421(b) of the Code, which
would otherwise render the provisions of Section 83(a) of the Code applicable at that time. Consequently, the Taxpayer hereby elects to have the amount of disqualifying disposition
income measured by the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the date of transfer to the Taxpayer over the amount paid for such shares. Since 

 

Section 421(a) presently
applies to the shares which are the subject of this Section 83(b) election, no taxable income is actually recognized for regular tax purposes at
this time, and no income taxes are payable, by the Taxpayer as a result of this election. The foregoing election is to be effective to the full extent permitted under the Code. 

        THIS PAGE 2 IS TO BE ATTACHED TO ANY SECTION 83(b) ELECTION FILED IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION UNDER THE FEDERAL TAX
LAWS.
