EXHIBIT 10.1

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

Background

A.: The Company is in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, and selling unique and innovative footwear for men, women and children.
B.: Executive has served as Senior Vice President of Finance with the Company since January 7, 2008 and on January 8, 2008 was granted options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock of the Company at the fair market value as of the date of the grant subject to the Company's 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.
C.: The Company desires to employ Executive and Executive desires to be employed with the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
D.: In Executive's position, Executive will have access to confidential, proprietary and trade secret information of the Company.

Executive acknowledges that the above-described knowledge and information constitute a unique and valuable asset of the Company and represent a substantial investment of time and expense by the Company, and that any disclosure or other use of such knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of the Company would be wrongful and would cause irreparable harm to the Company. Executive will refrain from intentionally committing any acts that would materially reduce, and

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

(a): Disclosure and Assignment. Executive hereby transfers and assigns to the Company (or its designee) all right, title, and interest of Executive in and to every idea, concept, invention, and improvement (whether patented, patentable or not) conceived or reduced to practice by Executive whether solely or in collaboration with others while Executive is employed by the Company, and all copyrighted or copyrightable matter created by Executive whether solely or in collaboration with others while Executive is employed by the Company, in each case, that relates to the Company's business (collectively, "Creations"). Executive shall communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company may request, all information, details, and data pertaining to each Creation. Every copyrightable Creation, regardless of whether copyright protection is sought or preserved by the Company, shall be a "work made for hire" as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, and the Company shall own all rights in and to such matter throughout the world, without the payment of any royalty or other consideration to Executive or anyone claiming through Executive.
(b): Trademarks. All right, title, and interest in and to any and all trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos adopted, used, or considered for use by the Company during Executive's employment (whether or not developed by Executive) to identify the Company's business or other goods or services (collectively, the "Marks"), together with the goodwill appurtenant thereto, and all other materials, ideas, or other property conceived, created, developed, adopted, or improved by Executive solely or jointly during Executive's employment by the Company and relating to its business shall be owned exclusively by the Company. Executive shall not have, and will not claim to have, any right, title, or interest of any kind in or to the Marks or such other property.

7.

Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Covenants.

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

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

(b): Agreement Not to Hire. During Executive's employment with the Company and for a period of 12 consecutive months from and after the termination of Executive's employment, whether such termination is with or without Cause, or is at the instance of Executive or the Company, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity, including without limitation as a proprietor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, investor, stockholder, employee, member of any association, consultant, or otherwise, hire, engage, or solicit any person who is then an employee of the Company or who was an employee of the Company at any time during the six month period immediately preceding Executive's termination of employment.
(c): Agreement Not to Solicit. During Executive's employment with the Company and for a period of 12 consecutive months from and after the termination of Executive's employment, whether such termination is with or without Cause, or is at the instance of Executive or the Company, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity including without limitation as a proprietor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee, member of any association, consultant, or otherwise, solicit, request, advise, or induce any current or potential customer, supplier, vendor or other business contact of the Company to cancel, curtail, or otherwise change its relationship adversely to the Company, or interfere in any manner with the relationship between the Company and any of its customers, suppliers, vendors or other business contacts.
(d): Modification. If the duration of, the scope of, or any business activity covered by, any provision of this Section 7 exceeds that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, such provision will be construed to cover only that duration, scope, or activity that is determined to be valid and enforceable. Executive hereby acknowledges that this Section 7 will be construed so that its provisions are valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding its express terms, possible under applicable law.
(e): No Adequate Remedy at Law. Executive hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and that any violation of this Section 7 by Executive will cause substantial and irreparable harm to the Company to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy therefore. Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any such provisions, the Company will, in addition to any other remedies it may have, be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such provisions, and such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual monetary damages.
