AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 10, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between iGo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Employer”), and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Employee”) and amends and restates, in its entirety, the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Employment Agreement executed by and between Employee and Employer on October 7, 2010, as amended by that certain Amendment #1 to Employment Agreement (together, the “Original Employment Agreement”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ Employee as provided herein, and Employee desires to accept such employment; and

WHEREAS, Employee shall, as an employee of Employer, have access to confidential information with respect to Employer and its affiliates;

WHEREAS, Employee and Employer previously entered into that certain Original Employment Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Employee and Employer wish to amend and restate the Original Employment Agreement in accordance with this Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Employment. Employer hereby employs Employee, and Employee hereby accepts employment with Employer, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

2. Duties. Subject to the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of Employer (the “CEO”), Employee shall serve Employer as its Vice President, Product Marketing, and shall perform, faithfully and diligently, the services and functions relating to such position or otherwise reasonably incident to such position as may be designated from time to time by the CEO. As such, Employee shall report directly to the CEO or to such other employee of Employer that the CEO may designate from time to time at the CEO’s discretion. Employee shall be based in Xxxxx Bay, Australia, but shall have duties and responsibilities at and/or with respect to each location at which Employer or any of its subsidiaries conducts the Business (as hereinafter defined) and shall travel as reasonably required by his duties under this Agreement. Employee shall devote his full time, attention, energies and business efforts to his duties hereunder and to the promotion of the business and interests of Employer and its subsidiaries as is customary for his position of a company of like-size in a comparable business; provided, however, that Employee may participate in other business ventures as long as such participation does not interfere with Employee’s duties hereunder (including those contained in this sentence) or violate Section 6 below.

3. Term. The term of employment under this Agreement shall commence on April 12, 2012 (the “Employment Commencement Date”) and shall continue, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 8 below, until October 7, 2013 (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, that the term of this Agreement shall thereafter be renewed on a year-to-year basis thereafter (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless either party gives written notice to the other party, at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then current term, of such party’s desire to terminate this Agreement at the end of the then current term. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s) are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Term”. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, although this Agreement is entered into as of the Effective Date, and is a binding agreement between Employer and Employee, the actual employment period of Employee by Employer shall commence on the Employment Commencement Date, and neither Employer nor Employee shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement until the Employment Commencement Date.

4. Compensation. As compensation for his services rendered under this Agreement, during the Term, Employee shall be entitled to receive the compensation as provided in Exhibit A attached hereto. In addition, Employer shall reimburse Employee for the expenses identified on Exhibit A and for all reasonable and customary out-of-pocket travel and other expenses incurred by Employee in rendering services required under this Agreement upon submission and approval by the CEO of a detailed statement and reasonable documentation.

5. Confidentiality.

(a) Acknowledgment of Proprietary Interest. Employee recognizes the proprietary interest of Employer and its affiliates in any Trade Secrets (as hereinafter defined) of Employer and its affiliates. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any and all Trade Secrets currently known by Employee or learned by Employee during the course of his engagement by Employer or otherwise, whether developed by Employee alone or in conjunction with others or otherwise, shall be and are the property of Employer and its affiliates. Employee further acknowledges and understands that his disclosure of any Trade Secrets may result in irreparable injury and damage to Employer and its affiliates. As used herein, “Trade Secrets” means all confidential and proprietary information of Employer and its affiliates, now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, information derived from reports, investigations, experiments, research, work in progress, drawing, designs, plans, proposals, codes, marketing and sales programs, client lists, client mailing lists, financial projections, cost summaries, pricing formula, and all other concepts, ideas, materials, or information prepared or performed for or by Employer or its affiliates and information related to the business, products or sales of Employer or its affiliates, or any of their respective customers, other than information which is otherwise publicly available.

(b) Covenant Not-to-Divulge Trade Secrets. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employer and its affiliates are entitled to prevent the disclosure of Trade Secrets. As a portion of the consideration for the employment of Employee and for the compensation being paid to Employee by Employer, Employee agrees at all times during the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter to hold in strict confidence and not to intentionally disclose (except for such disclosures as are required by law, in which case, Employee agrees to give Employer notice thereof prior to making any such disclosure) or allow to be disclosed to any person, firm or corporation, other than to persons engaged by Employer and its affiliates to further the business of Employer and its affiliates, and not to use except in the pursuit of the business of Employer and its affiliates, the Trade Secrets, without the prior written consent of Employer, including Trade Secrets developed by Employee.

2

(c) Return of Materials at Termination. In the event of any termination or cessation of his employment with Employer for any reason whatsoever, Employee will promptly deliver to Employer all documents, data and other information pertaining to Trade Secrets. Employee shall not take any documents or other information, of whatever type and in whatever form, or any reproduction or excerpt thereof, containing or pertaining to any Trade Secrets.

6. Non-Solicitation and Other Restrictions.

(a) Non-Solicitation of Employees and Contractors. During the term of Employee’s employment with Employer and for a period of twelve (12) months following the cessation of Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason whatsoever, Employee shall not either alone or as an agent, employee, partner, representative, affiliate, or in any other capacity on behalf of any person or entity, directly or indirectly, go into business with or hire any employee or contractor of Employer or solicit, induce, or recruit any employee or contractor of Employer to end its relationship with Employer for the purpose of having such employee or contractor engage in services that are the same, similar or related to the services that such employee or contractor provided for Employer. For the purpose of this Subsection, “employee or contractor of Employer” means (i) anyone performing services for Employer as an employee or contractor at the time of Employee’s separation; or (ii) any former employee or contractor of Employer whose relationship with Employer ended less than one (1) year before the date of such co-venturing, hiring, solicitation, inducement, or recruitment.

(b) Non-Solicitation of Customers. Employee, whether personally or as an agent, employee, partner, representative, affiliate, or in any other capacity on behalf of any person or entity, shall not during Employee’s employment or for a period of twelve (12) months following cessation of employment for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly solicit, do business with, call upon, handle, deliver products or render services to any active or prospective customer of Employer for the purpose of soliciting or selling such customer the same, similar, or related products or services that are offered by Employer. For purposes of this Subsection, “customer” shall mean the corporate customer itself, the individual representative(s) of the corporate customer, and any affiliated entity of the corporate customer.

(c) Reasonableness of Restrictions. Employee agrees and acknowledges that, given the relationship between the parties, the restrictions in subsections (a) and (b) above are reasonable and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of Employer, including but not limited to the protection of Employer’s trade secrets, proprietary information and know-how. Employee further agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions in subsections (a) and (b) above will not prevent him/her from obtaining gainful employment in Employee’s occupation or field of expertise or cause Employee undue hardship; and that there are numerous other employment and business opportunities available to Employee that are not affected by the foregoing restrictions.

Employee shall, from the date of this Agreement forward, refrain from making disparaging, negative or other similar remarks concerning Employer or any of its affiliates to any third party.

“Constructive Termination” shall mean: (a) a material reduction in Employee’s duties and responsibilities without Employee’s consent; (b) any breach by Employer of any of the material terms of, or the failure to perform any material covenant contained in, this Agreement and following written notice thereof from Employee to Employer, Employer does not cure such breach or failure within fifteen (15) days thereafter; provided, however, that Employer will not be entitled to cure any such breach or failure more than one time in any consecutive three month period; (c) Employer requires that Employee relocate from the Xxxxx Bay, Australia metropolitan area without Employee’s prior written consent; or (d) a reduction in Employee’s then current salary without Employee’s prior written consent.

14. Parties Bound.

Employer shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any affiliate or to its successors or assigns.

The rights, duties or benefits to Employee hereunder are personal to him, and no such right, duty or benefit may be assigned by him.

Accordingly, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any covenant is too broad to be enforced as written, it is the intent of each of the parties that the court should reform such covenant to such narrower scope as it determines enforceable.

18. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by any party.
