AGREEMENT

In consideration of all mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, it is agreed by and between Snyder and the Company as follows:

2.            Option Cancellation. The vested and unvested options to purchase the Company’s common stock listed on Exhibit B hereto shall expire pursuant to their original terms.

3.             Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Covenants.

(a)          Agreement Not to Compete.  Until December 31, 2010, Snyder 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 that are the same or similar to the footwear currently 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 current businesses of the Company or with any business or market the Company is actively preparing to enter as of the date hereof.  Ownership (as either a proprietor, principal, investor, or stockholder in this Section 3(a)) by Snyder, as a passive investment, of less than 5% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3(a).  The Parties intend and agree that this exception shall be narrowly construed.

(b)           Agreement Not to Hire.  Until December 31, 2010, Snyder 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.

(c)           Agreement Not to Solicit.  Until December 31, 2010, Snyder will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner or capacity including without limitation as a principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, or consultant, solicit, request, advise, or induce any current or Potential Customer (“Potential Customer” for purposes of this Section 3(c) means any potential customer with whom the Company has been actively engaging in discussions during the 12 month period immediately preceding the date hereof), 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)           Non-Disparagement.  Snyder will not, at any time in the future, directly or indirectly, or cause or encourage any other person to, criticize, malign, defame or disparage in any manner or by any means (whether written or oral, express or implied) the Company, the business of the Company, or any aspect of the management, policies, operations, practices, decisions or personnel of the Company.  The Company will ensure that the Company’s senior executive officers and the members of its Board of Directors will not, at any time in the future, directly or indirectly, or cause or encourage any other person to, malign, defame or disparage in any manner or by any means (whether written or oral, express or implied) the reputation, character or image of Snyder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit any person from providing truthful information required by applicable law, regulation or by legal process (including interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigation, demand or similar process), or by order of any court or governmental or regulatory body.

(e)           Acknowledgment.  Snyder hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 3 are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s Confidential Information (as defined below), the goodwill of the business of the Company and other legitimate interests of the Company and that any violation of this Section 3 by Snyder will cause substantial and irreparable

2

harm to the Company to such an extent that monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy therefor.

(f)            Blue Pencil Doctrine.  If the duration of, the scope of, or any business activity covered by any provision of this Section 3 is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in excess of what is valid and enforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, scope or activity that is determined to be valid and enforceable.  Snyder hereby acknowledges that this Section 3 shall be given the construction that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent, not exceeding its express terms, possible under applicable law.

4.              Amounts Owed.  The Company and Snyder represent and warrant to each other that no amount is obligated to be paid to or from the Company except pursuant to this Agreement.  Snyder acknowledges that Snyder has received all wages or other compensation owed to Snyder for Snyder’s services to the Company through the date hereof (subject only to (i) adjustments, if any, that cannot be determined until the end of the pay period and (ii) reimbursement of expenses incurred by Snyder during the course of his work for the Company), that the consideration referenced in Section 1, above, is in addition to any wages or other compensation owed to Snyder.

12.            Remedies.  Each  party acknowledges that it would be difficult to fully compensate the other  party for monetary damages resulting from any breach by the other party of the provisions hereof.  Accordingly, in the event of any actual or threatened breach of any such provisions, the Company or Snyder, as applicable shall, in addition to any other remedies it or he may have, be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such provisions, such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual monetary damages.  Each party agrees that in the event the other party is found to have breached (or threatened to breach) any provision of this Agreement, the breaching party will be liable to the other party for reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing this Agreement.

13.            Governing Law.  All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, application, validity and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule, whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction, that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado.  Snyder and the Company consent to jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Colorado and/or the federal district courts, District of Colorado, for the purpose of

6

resolving all issues of law, equity, or fact, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.  Any action involving claims of a breach of this Agreement shall be brought in such courts.  Each Party consents to personal jurisdiction over such Party in the state and/or federal courts of Colorado and hereby waives any defense of lack of personal jurisdiction.  Venue, for the purpose of all such suits in the courts of the State of Colorado, shall be in Denver County, Colorado. In the event of litigation between the Parties arising from or relating to this Agreement, each Party waives any and all rights to trial by jury and consents to the trial of the matter to the judge presiding over a court of competent jurisdiction.

14.            Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter addressed therein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such subject matter, except any written agreements related to Snyder’s common stock, restricted stock awards and deferral agreements under the 2007 Plan, and the Parties hereto have made no other agreements, representations or warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

15.            Amendments; Waiver.  This Agreement may not be altered, amended, or otherwise modified except by subsequent written agreement executed by both Parties.  No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, except by a statement in writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought.  Any written waiver shall not be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated, shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.  Failure of the Company to require strict compliance with this Agreement or to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement in response to a breach by Snyder does not constitute a waiver of the Company’s right subsequently to seek enforcement as to that breach or any other breach of this Agreement.

16.            Severability.  Subject to Section 3(f) hereof, to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction deems that any portion of any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that such portion(s) shall be considered deleted herefrom and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and continue in full force and effect.

17.            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and shall be fully enforceable in all regards if executed in such manner as if it had been executed as a single document.  Signatures obtained by facsimile or by other electronic means shall constitute effective execution of this Agreement.
