      FOR
        VALUE
        RECEIVED, nCoat, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the
“Corporation”), as of May 10, 2007 (“Date of Issuance”), hereby
        unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Coach Capital
        LLC or its assigns (the “Registered Holder”), at such
        address or at such other place as may be designated in writing by the Registered

        Debenture, the principal of this Debenture shall mature and become due and
        payable in full on the later of April 9, 2008 and the first aniversary of

        acknowledges the receipt of $100,000 from the Registered Holder, together
        with

        to
        the Maturity Date.

       

    

    
      	
               

            	
              1.

            	
              CONVERSION
                OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)

            	
              By
                the Registered Holder.

            

    

     

    (i)           This
      Debenture may be converted by the Registered Holder, subject to the restrictions
      below, on or before the Maturity Date, in whole or in part, into that number
      of
      shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of this Debenture (or
      the
      portion being converted), together with all interest accrued thereon and unpaid
      as of the date of the conversion, divided by the Conversion Price (the
“Conversion Shares”) by surrendering this Debenture, with the conversion
      notice appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by the Registered
      Holder at the principal executive offices of the Company, or at such other
      office or agency as the Company may designate.

     

    

    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          1

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    

    (ii)           Each
      conversion of this Debenture pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be deemed
      to
      have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on
      which this Debenture shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided
      above.  At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any
      certificates for Conversion Shares shall be issuable upon such conversion as
      provided below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record
      of
      the Conversion Shares represented by such certificates.

     

    (iii)           As
      soon as practicable after the conversion of this Debenture in full or in part,
      the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and
      delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Registered Holder (upon payment
      by such Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
      direct:

     

    a)           a
      certificate or certificates for the number of Conversion Shares to which the
      Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion; and

     

    b)           in
      case such conversion is in part only, a new Debenture or Debentures (dated
      the
      date hereof) of like tenor, in principal amount equal to the principal amount
      hereof less the amount that has been converted into Conversion
      Shares.

     

    (b)       By
      the Company.  Conversion of this Debenture may not be forced by
      the Company.

     

    (c)       Conversion
      Price.  The Conversion Price hereunder shall be
      $0.50.

     

    
      	
               

            	
              2.

            	
              ADJUSTMENTS.

            

    

     

    (a)   Adjustment
      for Stock Splits and Combinations.  If the Company shall at any
      time or from time to time after the date on which this Debenture was first
      issued (the “Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the
      outstanding Common Stock, with the sole exception of the Anticipated Split
      discussed above, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased to
      reflect the effect of such stock split or subdivision.  If the Company
      shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine
      or
      reverse split the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price
      shall
      be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this paragraph
      shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision,
      reverse split or combination becomes effective.  For example, if the
      Company were to engage in the Anticipated Split, the Conversion Price would
      remain at $0.50, which, by way of further example, would result in the issuance,
      upon conversion of $500,000 of principal, of 1,000,000 of the common shares
      of
      the Company.

     

    

     

    

    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          -
            2 -

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    

    (b)  Adjustments
      for Other Dividends and Distributions.  In the event the Company
      at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or
      issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
      entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities
      of
      the Company or in cash or other property, then and in each such event the
      Registered Holder shall receive upon conversion hereof, in addition to the
      Conversion Shares issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of
      the
      Company and/or cash and other property which the Registered Holder would have
      been entitled to receive had this Debenture been converted on the date of such
      event.

     

    (c)  Adjustment
      for Mergers or Reorganizations, etc.  If there shall occur any
      reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, sale of
      all
      or substantially all assets or merger involving the Company in which the Common
      Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property
      (other than a transaction covered by subsection 2(b) above), then,
      following any such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization,
      consolidation, sale of all or substantially all assets or merger, and without
      payment of any additional consideration thereof, the Registered Holder shall
      receive upon conversion hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other
      property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive if,
      immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization,
      consolidation or merger, sale of all or substantially all assets, this Debenture
      had been converted.

     

    3.      
        FRACTIONAL SHARES.  The Company shall not be
      required upon the conversion of this Debenture to issue any fractional shares,
      and shall round any fractional shares to the next highest whole number of
      shares.  If a fractional share interest arises upon any conversion or
      conversion of the Debenture, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share
      interest by paying the Registered Holder an amount computed by multiplying
      the
      fractional interest by the Fair Market Value of a full share of common
      Stock.

     

    The
“Fair
      Market Value” per share of Common Stock shall be determined as

     

    (i)           if
      the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ Small
      Cap Market, the NASDAQ National Market, the OTCBB or another nationally
      recognized trading system as of the Conversion Date, the Fair Market Value
      per
      share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the high and low
      reported sale prices per share of Common Stock thereon on the trading day
      immediately preceding the Conversion Date (provided that if no such price is
      reported on such day, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall
      be
      determined pursuant to clause (ii)).

     

    (ii)           the
      Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average
      daily closing price of the Company’s Common Stock for the four trading days
      prior to the Holder’s providing notice of conversion.

                AND WARRANTIES BY THE REGISTERED
                HOLDER.

            

    

     

    (a)  The
      Registered Holder represents and warrants to the Company that it is not an
      affiliate of the Company and will, should it become an affiliate of the Company,
      notify the Company of the change in its status.

     

    

    
      
        
          
          

        

        
          -
            3 -

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    

    

    (b)  Accredited
      Status.  The Registered Holder, by initialing the applicable
      paragraph (a) through (g) below, hereby
      represents and warrants that the Registered Holder is an "Accredited
      Investor" as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, because the

                [

                  director
                  of the Company.; or

              

      

      

      
        	
                 

              	
                [

              	
                ]           (g)
                  any entity in which all of the equity owners are Accredited Investors

                  D
                  under the Securities Act and applicable State securities law criteria.
                  IF
                  THE REGISTERED HOLDER IS AN ENTITY IN WHICH ALL OF THE EQUITY OWNERS
                  ARE
                  ACCREDITED INVESTORS, THE REGISTERED HOLDER MUST PROVIDE A SUBSCRIPTION

    (c)  Liquidity.  Registered
      Holder presently has sufficient liquid assets to purchase the
      Debenture.  Registered Holder's overall commitments to investments
      that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to Registered Holder's
      total assets, and Registered Holder's investment in the Company will not cause
      such overall commitment to become excessive.  Registered Holder has
      adequate means of providing for its current needs and contingencies and has
      no
      need for liquidity in its investment in the Company or for a source of income
      from the Company.  Registered Holder is capable of bearing the
      economic risk and the burden of the investment contemplated by this Agreement,
      including, but not limited to, the possibility of the complete loss of the
      value
      of the Conversion Shares and the limited transferability of the Conversion
      Shares, which may make the liquidation of the Conversion Shares impossible
      in
      the near future.

    

    (d)  Organization,
      Standing, Authorization.  If a corporation, limited liability
      company, or other entity, Registered Holder is duly organized, validly existing,
      and in good standing under the laws of its State of organization, and has the
      requisite power and authority to purchase the Debenture.  The purchase
      of the Debenture has been duly authorized by all required action of Registered
      Holder's members or managers.  The person executing, on Registered
      Holder's behalf, this Debenture and any other documents or instruments executed
      by Registered Holder in connection with this Debenture is duly authorized to
      do
      so.

    

    (e)  Sole
      Party in Interest.  Registered Holder represents that it is the
      sole and true party in interest, and no other person or entity has or will
      have
      upon the purchase of the Debenture or the issuance of the Conversion Shares
      any
      beneficial ownership interest in the Conversion Shares or any portion of the
      Conversion Shares, whether direct or indirect.

    

    (f)   Investment
      Purpose.  Registered Holder represents that it is acquiring the
      Debenture for its own account and for investment purposes and not on behalf
      of
      any other person or entity or for or with a view to resale or
      distribution.

    

    (g)  Knowledge
      and Experience.  Registered Holder has been advised, to the
      Registered Holder’s satisfaction and understanding, with respect to the
      advisability of an investment in the Company and the
      Debenture.  Registered Holder is experienced in evaluating and making
      speculative investments, and has the capacity to protect its interests in
      connection with the acquisition of the Debenture and the Conversion
      Shares.  Registered Holder has such knowledge and experience in
      financial and business matters in general, and investments in the computer
      industry in particular, that Registered Holder is capable of evaluating the
      merits and risks of Registered Holder's investment in the
      Company.  Registered Holder has been informed that an investment in
      the Company is speculative and have concluded that Registered Holder's proposed
      investment is appropriate in light of its overall investment objectives and
      financial situation.

      Agreement, and that all documents, records, books and other information
      pertaining to Registered Holder's investment in the Company requested by
      Registered Holder have been made available for inspection and copying and that
      there are no additional materials or documents that have been requested by
      Registered Holder that have not been made available by the
      Company.  Registered Holder further acknowledges it has had an
      opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company's
      representatives, and that any decision not to ask questions of the Company's
      representatives was a conscious decision on Registered Holder’s part and
      reflects Registered Holder's belief that no additional information is necessary
      in order to make an informed decision about investing in the
      Company.

    

    (i)

      Registered Holder to the Company concerning Registered Holder and its respective
      financial positions is correct and complete as of the date hereof.  If

    (a)  This
      Debenture and the Conversion Shares shall not be sold or transferred unless
      either (i) their transfer first shall have been registered under the Securities
      Act of 1933, as amended (the “the Act”), and under applicable state securities
      or blue sky laws, or (ii) the Company first shall have been furnished with
      an
      opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect
      that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of
      the
      Act.

     

    (b)  Each
      certificate representing Conversion Shares shall bear a legend substantially
      in
      the following form:

     

    “The
      shares represented by this certificate have been acquired for investment and
      have not been registered under the securities act of 1933.  Such
      shares may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration in
      effect under such act unless the company receives an opinion of counsel or
      other
      evidence reasonably acceptable to it demonstrating that such sale or transfer
      is
      exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of said act
      or
      unless sold pursuant to rule 144 of such act.

     

    The
      foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing any
      Conversion Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as
      (i) they become eligible for resale pursuant to an effective registration
      statement or Rule 144(k) under the Act or (ii) the Company shall have
      received either an opinion of counsel or a “no-action” letter from the SEC to
      the effect that any transfer of the Conversion Shares represented by such
      certificates will not violate the Act and applicable state securities
      laws.

     

    6.

      its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or an order,
      judgment or decree is entered adjudicating the Company as bankrupt or insolvent;
      or any order for relief with respect to the Company is entered under the Federal
      Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy or insolvency law; or the Company
      petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian,
      trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of any substantial part of
      the
      assets of the Company, or commences any proceeding relating to it under any
      bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt,
      dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction; or any such petition or
      application is filed, or any such proceeding is commenced, against the Company
      and either (i) the Company by any act indicates its approval thereof, consents
      thereto or acquiescence therein or (ii) such petition application or proceeding
      is not dismissed within sixty (60) days.

     

    (c)  Upon
      the occurrence of any such Event of Default all unpaid principal under this
      Debenture shall become immediately due and payable.

      IMPAIRMENT.  The Company will not, by amendment of its charter
      through reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
      issuance or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek
      to
      avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Debenture,
      but

      or
      winding-up.  Such notice shall be mailed at least ten days prior to

      notice to the contrary.

CROCS,
INC.

2008 CASH INCENTIVE PLAN

1.  Purpose.  The purpose of the Crocs, Inc. 2008 Cash
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to advance the interests of Crocs, Inc. (“Crocs”)
and its stockholders by promoting Crocs’s pay for performance philosophy,
attracting and retaining key employees of Crocs and its subsidiaries, and
stimulating the efforts of such employees toward the continued success and
growth of Crocs’s business.  Amounts paid
pursuant to the Plan are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended.

2.  Definitions.  When the following terms are used with
capital letters in this Plan, they will have the meanings indicated:

(a)  “Award” means an
annual incentive award which, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by
the Committee, entitles a Participant to receive a cash payment from the
Company in accordance with Section 3.

(b)  “Board” means
the Board of Directors of Crocs.

(c)  “Code” means the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(d)  “Committee”
means the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee as may be
designated by the Board to administer the Plan.

(e)  “Company” means
Crocs and its subsidiaries.

(f)  “Covered Officer”
means any Participant whose compensation, in the Performance Period for which
the annual incentive is calculated, is subject to the compensation expense
deduction limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code.

(g)  “Eligible Employee”
means any employee of the Company.

(h)  “Participant”
means an Eligible Employee designated by the Committee to participate in the
Plan as provided in Section 3.1. 
Designation by the Committee as a Participant for a specific Performance
Period or series of Performance Periods does not confer on the Participant the
right to participate in the Plan for any other Performance Periods.

(i)  “Performance-Based
Compensation” means an Award that is intended to constitute “performance-based
compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.

(j)  “Performance Measures”
means one or a combination of two or more of the following performance
criteria: net sales; net earnings; earnings before income taxes; earnings
before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization; earnings per share (basic or diluted); profitability as measured
by return ratios (including return on assets, return on equity, return on
investment and return on net sales) or by the 

degree to which any of the
foregoing earnings measures exceed a percentage of net sales; cash flow; market
share; margins (including one or more of gross, operating and net earnings
margins); stock price; total stockholder return; asset quality; non-performing
assets; revenue growth; operating income; pre- or after-tax income; cash flow
per share; operating assets; improvement in or attainment of expense levels or
cost savings; economic value added; and improvement in or attainment of working
capital levels. In addition, for any Award to a Participant who is not a
Covered Officer or that is not intended to constitute Performance-Based
Compensation, Performance Measures may include, alone or in combination with
any of the foregoing Performance Measures, any other measure of performance as
determined by the Committee.  Any
Performance Measure utilized may be expressed in absolute amounts, on a per
share basis, as a change from preceding Performance Periods, as a comparison to
the performance of specified companies or other external measures, and may
relate to one or any combination of corporate (including such direct and
indirect subsidiaries of the Company as the Committee may determine or on such
consolidated basis as the Committee may determine), group, unit, division,
affiliate or individual performance.

(k)  “Performance Period”
means the period of time specified by the Committee over which the degree of
attainment of specified Performance Measures will be measured.

3.  Awards.

3.1  Allocation
of Awards.  Prior to the
earlier of (i) 90 days following the commencement of a Performance Period or
(ii) the passage of 25 percent of the duration of such Performance Period, the
Committee will designate such Eligible Employees as it deems appropriate to
participate in the Plan for such Performance Period. The Committee’s
designation of an Eligible Employee as entitled to participate in the Plan may
be for a single Performance Period, or for a fixed or indefinite series of
future Performance Periods, in its discretion. 
A designation for more than one Performance Period shall be subject to
the Participant’s continued employment by the Company, and may be rescinded at
any time as to future Performance Periods by the Committee.  Awards may be granted to a Participant in
such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Committee.  At the time an Award is made, the Committee
will specify the terms and conditions that will govern the Award, which will include
that the Award will be earned only upon, and to the extent that, the applicable
Performance measures as described in Section 3.2 are satisfied over the course
of the applicable Performance Period. 
Different terms and conditions may be established by the Committee for
different Awards and for different Participants.

3.2  Performance
Measures.  The payment of an
Award will be contingent upon the degree of attainment of such Performance
Measures over the applicable Performance Period as are specified by the
Committee.  Performance Measures for any
Performance Period will be established by the Committee prior to the earlier of
(i) 90 days following the commencement of the Performance Period or (ii) the
passage of 25 percent of the duration of the Performance Period.  The Committee may, in its discretion, modify
the Performance Measures applicable to a Performance Period if it determines
that as a result of changed circumstances, such modification is required to
reflect the original intent of such Performance Measures.  However, no such 

 2
 

modification
may be made to the extent it would increase the amount of compensation that
would otherwise be payable to any Participant who is a Covered Officer.

3.3  Maximum
Amount of Awards.  No
Participant who is a Covered Officer shall be entitled to receive an Award
payment for any Performance Period that exceeds $2,000,000 for a quarterly
Performance Period or the corresponding multiple of that amount for any
Performance Period that is more than one quarter in duration.

3.4  Adjustments.  The Committee is authorized at any time
during or after a Performance Period, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
reduce or eliminate the amount of an Award otherwise payable to any Participant
for any reason.  No reduction in the amount
of an Award payable to any Participant shall increase the amount of an Award
payable to any other Participant.

3.5  Payment of
Awards.  Following the
completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing
the degree to which the Performance Measures were attained and the Awards
payable to Participants.  Each
Participant shall receive payment in cash of the Award as soon as practicable
following the Committee’s determination and certification made pursuant to this
Section 3.5.

4.  Administration.

4.1  Authority of
Committee.  The Committee shall administer this Plan.  The Committee shall have exclusive power,
subject to the limitations contained in this Plan, to make Awards and to
determine when and to whom Awards will be granted, and the form, amount and
other terms and conditions of each Award, subject to the provisions of this
Plan.  The Committee shall have the
authority to interpret this Plan and any Award made under this Plan, to
establish, amend, waive and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the
administration of this Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or
advisable for the administration of this Plan. 
The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile
any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent
it shall deem desirable.  The
determinations of the Committee in the administration of this Plan, as
described herein, shall be final, binding and conclusive, subject to the
provisions of this Plan.  A majority of
the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for any meeting of the
Committee.

4.2  Indemnification.  To the greatest extent permitted by law, (i)
no member or former member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or
determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award
made under the Plan, and (ii) the members or former members of the Committee
shall be entitled to indemnification by the Company against and from any loss
incurred by such members by reason of any such actions and determinations.

5.  Effective Date of the
Plan.  The Plan shall become
effective as of January 1, 2008; provided that this Plan is approved and
ratified by Crocs’s stockholders before such date.  The Plan shall remain in effect until it has
been terminated pursuant to Section 8.

 3
 

6.  Right to Terminate
Employment.  Nothing in the
Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employment
of the Company or affect any right which the Company may have to terminate the
employment of a Participant with or without cause.

7.  Tax Withholding.  The Company shall have the right to withhold
from cash payments under the Plan to a Participant or other person an amount
sufficient to cover any required withholding taxes.

8.  Amendment, Modification
and Termination of the Plan. 
The Board or Committee may at any time terminate, suspend or modify the
Plan and the terms and provisions of any Award to any Participant which has not
been paid. Amendments are subject to approval of Crocs’s stockholders only if
such approval is necessary to maintain the Plan in compliance with the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, its successor provisions or any
other applicable law or regulation.  No
Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after its
termination.

9.  Unfunded Plan.  The Plan shall be unfunded, and the Company
shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be
represented by Awards under the Plan.  No
Participant shall, by virtue of this Plan, have any interest in any specific assets
of the Company.

10.  Other Benefit and
Compensation Programs. 
Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission to the
stockholders of the Company shall be construed as creating any limitation on
the power of the Board or Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements
as it may deem appropriate.  Payments
received by a Participant under an Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be
deemed a part of a Participant’s regular recurring compensation for purposes of
the termination, indemnity or severance pay law of any state and shall not be
included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any
other employee benefit plan, contract or similar arrangement provided by the
Company unless expressly so provided by such other plan, contract or
arrangement, or unless the Committee expressly determines otherwise.

11.  Governing Law.  To the extent that Federal laws do not
otherwise control, the Plan and all determinations made and actions taken
pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado and
construed accordingly.

12.  Other Provisions.

12.1  Non-transferability. 
Participants and beneficiaries shall not have the right to assign,
pledge or otherwise dispose of any part of an Award under this Plan.

12.2  Termination of Employment. 
Except as otherwise provided in this section, no Award shall be paid to
a Participant who is not actively employed by the Company as of the end of the
applicable Performance Period.  If a
Participant’s employment with the Company ends during a Performance Period, the
Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the Participant (or his or her
beneficiaries) shall be paid a pro rata portion of the Award payment that the
Participant would have received but for the fact that the Participant’s
employment ended.  Any such pro rated
Award payment will be paid at the same time as other Award payments with
respect to the applicable Performance Period.
