This STOCK PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of July 11, 2013, by and between STEEL EXCEL INC., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), and IGO, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Except where otherwise noted, capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Sections where they first appear. An index of such defined terms is provided as Annex I attached hereto.

Recitals

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Purchaser and the Company have approved the acquisition of up to 44.0% of the outstanding shares (each a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) on a Fully Diluted Basis (where “Fully Diluted Basis” means after taking into account all outstanding Shares and assuming the exercise, conversion or exchange of all options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities and similar rights, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 1.6 (a)), as of the close of business on July 11, 2013, by Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in furtherance of such acquisition, it is proposed that Purchaser commence a cash tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to acquire the Shares at a price per Share of $3.95 (such per Share amount, the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and material inducement to Purchaser’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser has entered into a Tender and Voting Agreement (the “Tender Agreement”) with Adage Capital Partners, L.P. (“Adage”), a principal stockholder of the Company, with respect to the tender of Shares held by such stockholder, pursuant to which Adage has, among other matters, agreed to (i) tender the Shares beneficially owned by Adage in the Offer to facilitate satisfaction of the Minimum Condition under the Offer (where “Minimum Condition” means at least 30% of the Company Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis), (ii) support the Top-Up Purchase (as defined below) and the other transactions contemplated hereby, each on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Agreement, and (iii) certain restrictions on any sale, transfer or other disposition of Shares beneficially held by Adage, other than pursuant to the Offer;

WHEREAS, following the closing of the Offer, in the event the Offer is not fully subscribed, it is proposed that the Purchaser purchase, and the Company sell to Purchaser, such number of newly issued Shares (the “Top-Up Purchase Shares”) that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Purchaser following consummation of the Offer, constitutes 44.0% of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis, at the Offer Price, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (the “Top-Up Purchase”); and

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Purchaser and the Company have (i) determined that this Agreement and the Transactions (as defined in Section 1.4(a)), including the Offer and the Top-Up Purchase, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of their respective stockholders and (ii) approved this Agreement, the Tender Agreement and the Transactions, including the Offer and the Top-Up Purchase, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
THE OFFER AND PURCHASE

SECTION 1.1. The Offer.

(a) Commencement of the Offer. As promptly as practicable but in no event later than ten business days (as defined in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), the Offer within the meaning of the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The obligations of Purchaser to accept for payment, and pay for, any shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer are subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A. The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be the 20th business day following the commencement of the Offer (determined using Exchange Act Rule 14d-1(g)(3)). The Offer may not be terminated prior to its scheduled expiration (as such expiration may be extended or re-extended in accordance with this Agreement), unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7.1. Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive any condition to the Offer or modify the terms of the Offer, except that, without the consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not (i) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price, (iii) add to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A or modify any condition set forth in Exhibit A in a manner adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock, (iv) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.1, extend the Offer, (v) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (vi) waive or modify the Minimum Condition, or (vii) otherwise amend the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may, without the consent of the Company, extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer. In addition, if at the initially scheduled or any extended expiration date of the Offer, any of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Exhibit A (other than any conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing of the Offer) are not satisfied or, if permitted, waived, Purchaser shall extend the Offer in increments of not more than ten business days each until such time as such conditions are satisfied or waived; provided that Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date (as defined in Section 7.1(b)(i)).

(b) Tender Offer Statement. On the date of commencement of the Offer, Purchaser shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which shall contain an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”). If Purchaser or the Company is unable to complete the Offer Documents within 10 business days of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser and the Company may consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to delay the date of commencement of the Offer to the earliest practicable date and in no event beyond any date required by any state or federal statute, law, ordinance, rule, judgment, decree or regulation (“Law”). The Company shall promptly furnish to Purchaser all information concerning the Company that is reasonably requested by Purchaser, or is required by the Exchange Act or other applicable Law, to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Subject to Section 3.4, Purchaser agrees that the Offer Documents shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of applicable federal securities laws and, on the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company’s stockholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. Purchaser and the Company shall each promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Offer Documents and to cause the Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Company Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws. The Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Offer Documents and any amendments thereto prior to filing such documents with the SEC or dissemination of such documents to the stockholders of the Company. Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel in writing with any comments Purchaser or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments, shall consult with the Company and its counsel prior to responding to such comments, and shall provide to the Company and its counsel a copy of any written responses thereto and telephonic notice of any oral responses or discussions with the SEC staff.

(c) Solicitation/Recommendation Statement. On the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (such Schedule 14D-9, as amended from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”) describing the recommendations referred to in Section 2.3(b) (subject to Section 5.6(b) and (c)) and shall mail the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.8, the Company agrees that the Schedule 14D-9 shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of applicable federal securities laws and, on the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company’s stockholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Company and Purchaser shall each promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Company Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws. The Company shall provide Purchaser and its counsel in writing with any comments the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments, shall consult with Purchaser and its counsel prior to responding to such comments, and shall provide to Purchaser and its counsel a copy of any written responses thereto and telephonic notice of any oral responses or discussions with the SEC staff.

(d) Communication with Stockholders. In connection with the Offer, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to furnish Purchaser promptly with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of the record holders of Company Common Stock as of a recent date and of those persons becoming record holders subsequent to such date, together with copies of all lists of stockholders, security position listings and computer files and all other information in the Company’s possession or control regarding the beneficial owners of Company Common Stock, and shall furnish to Purchaser such information and assistance (including updated lists of stockholders, security position listings and computer files) as Purchaser may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the holders of Company Common Stock. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, Purchaser shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Transactions and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request, deliver to the Company all copies of such information then in its possession.

(e) Closing of the Offer. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (as set forth in the Offer Documents) and this Agreement (including, as applicable to the Offer, the conditions set forth on Exhibit A hereto, Section 1.1(f) and Article 6 herein), other than any such conditions which by their nature cannot be satisfied until the date of the Offer Closing, Purchaser shall accept for payment and pay for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Offer, and in any event within three business days after the expiration of the Offer (such time, the “Offer Closing”). Prior to the Offer Closing, Purchaser shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company as may be designated by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), which shall provide for the payment of the Offer Price in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Purchaser shall deposit with the Exchange Agent reasonably prior to the Offer Closing, and no less than five days prior thereto, for the benefit of the holders of the Shares, for payment by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section 1.1(e), the cash necessary to pay for the Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the “Exchange Fund”). Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares upon the completion of the Offer shall be used to fund the Top-Up Purchase, as necessary. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed after the consummation of the Transactions shall be delivered to Purchaser upon demand.

(f) Proration.

(i) If and to the extent that a number of shares of Company Common Stock greater than 44% of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis as of the close of business on July 11, 2013 is validly tendered prior to the expiration of the Offer, and not properly withdrawn, then, in accordance with Section 14(d)(6) of the Exchange Act, the number of shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by each Company stockholder shall be deemed decreased on a pro rata basis (with fractional Shares rounded to the nearest whole Share) such that the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment, and paid for, in the Offer by Purchaser shall be equal to 44% of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis as of the close of business on July 11, 2013.

(ii) Purchaser shall return all shares not accepted for payment to such Company stockholder or, in the case of tendered shares delivered by book-entry transfer, credited to the account at the book-entry transfer facility from which the transfer had previously been made, promptly after the expiration or termination of the Offer in each case, in accordance with the procedures described in the Offer Documents.

SECTION 1.2. Top-Up Purchase.

(a) Subject to Sections 1.2(b) and (c), in the event that, upon the Offer Closing, the Purchaser holds less than 44.0% of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on July 11, 2013 on a Fully Diluted Basis, the parties will complete the Top-Up Purchase, in which the Purchaser will purchase, and the Company will sell, the Top-Up Purchase Shares (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Purchase Shares) such that, upon completion of the Top-Up Purchase, the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Purchaser will constitute 44.0% of the shares of Company Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis as of the Top-Up Closing (as defined in Section 1.2(c)).

(b) The Top-Up Purchase, if necessary, will occur as soon as practicable after the Offer Closing. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Purchase Shares shall be determined by multiplying the number of such Top-Up Purchase Shares by the Offer Price. Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Company in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Section 1.1(e).

(c) The closing of the Top-Up Purchase (the “Top-Up Closing”) shall occur on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Top-Up Closing Date”), which shall be (i) in the event stockholder approval of the Top-Up Purchase is required by Law and subject to satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4, Section 6.5 and Section 6.6, no later than the third business day following the approval by the Company stockholders of the Top-Up Purchase or (ii) in the event stockholder approval of the Top-Up Purchase is not required by Law and subject to satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4, Section 6.5 and Section 6.6, no later than the third business day following the Offer Closing, in each case at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US) at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. At the Top-Up Closing, Purchaser shall cause to be delivered to the Company the cash consideration required to be delivered in exchange for the Top-Up Purchase Shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Purchaser a certificate representing such shares.

SECTION 1.3. Maximum Purchase Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that acquisition by Purchaser of 44.0% of the Company Common Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis would result in a reduction in net operating losses or other deferred tax benefits (such net operating losses and other deferred tax benefits being collectively referred to herein as the “NOLs”) under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), the amount to be purchased in the Offer or the Top Up Purchase, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted without triggering such loss in benefits, less 5.0%.

SECTION 1.4. Company Actions; Effective Time.

(a) Approval. The Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer, the Top-Up Purchase, the Tender Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”).

(b) Effective Time. The Transactions contemplated herein shall become effective at 11:00 a.m. (East Coast time) on the date of the Offer Closing or, if the Top-Up Purchase is necessary under Section 1.2, the Top-Up Closing Date with respect to all Transactions other than the Offer (such time in either event, the “Effective Time”).

SECTION 1.5. Restricted Securities. Purchaser acknowledges that, upon the successful consummation of the Transactions, Purchaser will be deemed an Affiliate of the Company. “Affiliate” means, as to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, association, trust, unincorporated organization, limited liability company or other entity (each, a “Person”), any other Person which, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, is in control of, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person. The term “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any Person, means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interest, by contract or otherwise. Further, the Purchaser may acquire, via the Offer, and will acquire, via the Top-Up Purchase, Shares that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Such Shares have been or will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering and will be subject to transfer restrictions. Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that Purchaser is, or will be upon the purchase of the Shares, an “Accredited Investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Purchaser agrees that any such non-registered Shares are being and will be acquired by Purchaser for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

SECTION 1.6. Company Options; Restricted Stock Units.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to provide for accelerated vesting in full of (i) any outstanding options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, upon consummation of the Offer, and (ii) all restricted stock units, such that holders may participate in the Offer.

(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Transactions will constitute (i) a “Change in Control” (upon the consummation of the Offer and election of the Purchaser Designees under Section 5.9(a)) under the employment agreement of Xx. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx, and that termination of Xx. Xxxx at the Offer Closing pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof shall constitute a “Termination Event” under his employment agreement and a change of control under the termination and change of control program adopted for Xx. Xxxx by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Company Board (the “Compensation Committee”) on April 11, 2011, resulting in payments to him of $849,150 in cash, plus accrued paid time off, continued health benefits for an 18-month period thereafter, and the other benefits provided thereunder, and (ii) a “change in control” under the termination and change of control program adopted for Mr. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx by the Compensation Committee on April 10, 2012, such that any termination of Xx. Xxxxxxx in connection with the Transactions will result in severance payments to him equal to twelve months of his salary and targeted annual bonus, plus accrued paid time off, continued health benefits for a 12-month period thereafter, and the other benefits provided thereunder.

(c) Nothing herein shall have an effect on the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which shall continue in effect during the Transactions.

During the period from March 31, 2013 to the date of this Agreement, (i) there have been no issuances by the Company of shares of capital stock of the Company other than issuances of capital stock of the Company pursuant to the vesting of Restricted Stock Units and the exercise of options outstanding on such date and (ii) there have been no issuances of options or other options, warrants or other rights to acquire capital stock of the Company.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

SECTION 5.1. Preparation of Proxy Statement; Stockholders Meetings.

(a) If the Offer is consummated but does not result in the Purchaser acquiring the amount of Company Common Stock contemplated in Article 1, as soon as practicable following the Offer Closing, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement, in preliminary form, seeking stockholder approval of the Top-Up Purchase and any other Transactions for which such approval is required by Law. Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors as constituted after the Offer Closing (the “Post-Offer Board”), the Proxy Statement also may include a proposal to amend the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company to implement a restriction to prevent any new stockholders from acquiring shares representing 4.9% (or, if approved by the Post-Offer Board, 3.0%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Acquisition Restrictions”). Each of the Company and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments of the SEC and its staff with respect thereto. The Company shall notify Purchaser promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply Purchaser with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement. If at any time prior to receipt of the required stockholder vote there shall occur any event that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to its stockholders such an amendment or supplement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the holders of Company Common Stock as promptly as practicable after filing with the SEC.

(b) In conjunction with the Proxy Statement, the Company shall duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking stockholder approval of the Top-Up Purchase and any other Transactions for which such approval is required by Law, including the Acquisition Restrictions (if such proposals are approved by the Post-Offer Board). Unless the Company Board has withdrawn its recommendation of this Agreement, the Top-Up Purchase or the other Transactions prior to the Offer Closing in compliance with Section 5.6(b), the Company shall (i) through the Post-Offer Board, recommend to its stockholders that they vote in favor of the Top-Up Purchase and any other Transactions for which stockholder approval is required by Law, including the Acquisition Restrictions (if such proposals are approved by the Post-Offer Board), (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from stockholders of the Company proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of other Transactions for which stockholder approval is required by Law including the Acquisition Restrictions (if such proposals are approved by the Post-Offer Board), and (iii) take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the holders of Company Common Stock required by applicable Law to effect the Top-Up Purchase and any other Transactions, including the Acquisition Restrictions (if such proposals are approved by the Post-Offer Board).Once the Company Stockholders Meeting has been called and noticed, the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting without the consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (other than (x) for the absence of a quorum or (y) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company believes in good faith is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the holders of Company Common Stock prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for purposes of clarity, if Purchaser and any other Purchaser Subsidiary shall collectively acquire 44.0% of the Fully Diluted outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock through the Offer (as the same may be reduced under Section 1.3), the Company shall not file or mail the Proxy Statement or convene the Company Stockholders Meeting.

(c) Purchaser shall cause all shares of Company Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Offer and all other shares of Company Common Stock owned by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser to be voted in favor of the Top-Up Purchase and any Transactions for which stockholder approval is required by Law.

SECTION 5.2. Public Statements. Subject to Section 5.6, the Company and Purchaser shall consult with each other prior to issuing, and provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment upon, any public announcement, statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions and shall not issue any such public announcement or statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by Law or any listing agreement with a national securities exchange or trading market.

SECTION 5.3. Standard of Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Company and Purchaser agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Offer, the Top-Up Purchase (if necessary) and the other Transactions, including (i) obtaining all material consents, approvals, authorizations and actions or nonactions required for or in connection with the consummation by the parties hereto of the Offer, the Top-Up Purchase and the other Transactions, (ii) the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain any material approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, a Governmental Authority, (iii) the obtaining of all material necessary consents from third parties, (iv) contesting and resisting of any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and seeking to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any Judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Offer, the Top-Up Purchase or the other Transactions and (v) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. The Company shall have the right to review and approve in advance all characterizations of the information relating to the Company; Purchaser shall have the right to review and approve in advance all characterizations of the information relating to Purchaser; and each of the Company and Purchaser shall have the right to review and approve in advance all characterizations of the information relating to the Transactions, in each case which appear in any material filing (including the Offer Documents, the Schedule 14D-9 and the Proxy Statement) made in connection with the Transactions. The Company and Purchaser agree that they shall consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all such material, necessary permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Company Board shall not be restricted from taking any action permitted by Section 5.6(b) or (c).

(b) In furtherance of, and not in limitation of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree not to enter into any agreement with a Governmental Authority to delay or not to consummate the Offer, the Top-Up Purchase and the other Transactions, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Purchaser and the Company shall (x) promptly notify the other party of any written communication to that party from any Governmental Authority and, subject to applicable Law, permit the other party to review in advance any proposed written communication to any such Governmental Authority and incorporate the other party’s reasonable comments, (y) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement, the Offer, the Top-Up Purchase or the other Transactions unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend, and (z) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between them and their Affiliates and their respective representatives on one hand, and any such Governmental Authority or its staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement, the Offer, the Top-Up Purchase and the other Transactions.

SECTION 5.4. Notification of Certain Matters. The Company agrees to give prompt notice to Purchaser of (i) any written notice received from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is required in connection with the Transactions or (ii) any notice from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. Purchaser agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of (i) any written notice received from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is required in connection with the Transactions or (ii) any notice from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. In no event shall the delivery of any notice by a party pursuant to this Section 5.4 limit or otherwise affect the respective rights, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

SECTION 5.5. Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, to, afford the officers, employees and agents of Purchaser, at their sole cost and risk, reasonable access during normal business hours from the date hereof through the Closing Date to its officers, employees, agents, properties, facilities, books, records, contracts and other assets and shall furnish Purchaser all financial, operating and other data and information as Purchaser through its officers, employees or agents, may reasonably request. Any such investigations shall be at the sole cost and risk of Purchaser, and conducted under the supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company and in a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with or disrupt the normal operation of the business of Company.

(b) The provisions of the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement dated January 2, 2013 between SP Asset Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and shall be applicable to Purchaser.

SECTION 5.6. No Solicitation.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of the Company Subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize or permit any officer, director or employee of the Company or of any of the Company Subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize any financial advisor, attorney or other advisor or representative of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of, any Takeover Proposal (as hereinafter defined), (ii) approve or recommend any Takeover Proposal, enter into any agreement, agreement-in-principle or letter of intent with respect to or accept any Takeover Proposal (or resolve to or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing), (iii) participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or afford access to any Person any information with respect to, or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal, (iv) amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or (v) fail to make, withdraw, amend, modify or materially qualify, in a manner adverse to Purchaser, the Company recommendations referred to in Section 2.3(b); provided, however, that prior to the Effective Time, in response to an unsolicited written Takeover Proposal from a third party (and not withdrawn) that the Company Board determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of its financial advisor and outside counsel) is, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would create a material risk of a breach by the Company Board of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, the Company and its representatives may (x) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the person making such Takeover Proposal and its representatives pursuant to a confidentiality agreement in customary form that is no less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement (except that such confidentiality agreement shall contain additional provisions that expressly permit the Company to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.6) and (y) conduct such additional discussions as the Company Board shall determine (including solicitation of a revised Takeover Proposal).

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.6 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the holders of Company Common Stock a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a third party pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) from making any disclosure to the holders of Company Common Stock, if in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with outside counsel), failure to do so would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable Law (including the Company Board’s duties of good faith and candor to the holders of Company Common Stock); provided that the Company Board shall not recommend that the stockholders of the Company tender their Company Common Stock in connection with any such tender or exchange offer unless the Company Board determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of its financial advisor) that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Takeover Proposal” shall mean any bona fide proposal or offer (and not withdrawn) from any Person (other than Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) relating to any acquisition, merger, consolidation, reorganization, share exchange, recapitalization, liquidation, direct or indirect business combination, asset acquisition or other similar transaction involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary of (A) the assets or businesses that constitute or represent 20% or more of the total revenue, operating income, or fair market value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, in each case other than the Transactions.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written offer (which is not withdrawn) in respect of (i) any transaction as a result of which the holders of Company Common Stock cease to own at least 44% of the voting securities, on a fully diluted basis (subject to reduction as provided for in Section 1.3) of the ultimate parent entity resulting from such transaction or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (ii) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, share exchange, recapitalization, liquidation, direct or indirect business combination, or other similar transaction involving the acquisition of at least 44% of the outstanding Company Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis (subject to reduction as provided for in Section 1.3), that in any such case provides for consideration to the holders of Company Common Stock consisting of cash, securities or both cash and securities (it being understood that securities retained by the holders of Company Common Stock be included for purposes of this determination), and is on terms that the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment (after receipt of the advice of its financial advisor and outside counsel), taking into account all relevant factors, including the price, form of consideration, closing conditions, legal and regulatory requirements, the ability to finance the proposal, anticipated timing of and prospects for consummating the transaction contemplated by the proposal, the identity of the party making the proposal and other aspects of the proposal that the Company Board deems relevant, (A) would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock from a financial point of view than the Transactions (including the terms of any proposal by Purchaser to modify the terms of the Transactions) and (B) is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed.

(e) In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 5.6, the Company shall (i) promptly notify Purchaser orally and in writing of any request for information with respect to any Takeover Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to result in a Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Takeover Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same; (ii) contemporaneously with furnishing any non-public information concerning the Company's business, present or future performance, financial condition or results of operations, to any third party with respect to any Takeover Proposal, furnish or make available such information to Purchaser to the extent such information has not been previously provided to Purchaser (which may be by posting such information to a "virtual data room" available to Purchaser with written notice of such posting to Purchaser), (iii) provide to Purchaser three business days’ written notice prior to (A) withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying in a manner adverse to Purchaser, or publicly proposing to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Purchaser the Company recommendations referred to in Section 2.3(b) or (B) entering into a binding written agreement concerning a transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal as set forth in Section 5.6(b), advising Purchaser that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including the material terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Company Board and the identity of the Person making the proposal; and (iv) if Purchaser shall make a counterproposal following delivery of written notice of a Takeover Proposal or Superior Proposal, consider and cause its financial and legal advisors to consider in good faith the terms of such counterproposal.

SECTION 5.7. Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Purchaser agrees that all rights to indemnification by the Company now existing in favor of each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or an employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or who acts as a fiduciary under any of the Company Employee Benefit Plans (each an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other agreements in effect on the date hereof, copies of which have been made available to Purchaser, including provisions relating to the advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any action or suit, shall survive the Transactions and shall remain in full force and effect.

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, to the full extent permitted under applicable Law, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines arising in whole or in part out of actions or omissions in their capacity as such occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in respect of this Agreement), and shall reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines as such expenses are incurred; provided that nothing herein shall impair any rights to indemnification of any Indemnified Party referred to in clause (a) above.

(c) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall maintain the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policies, in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “D&O Insurance”), for a period of not less than six years after the Effective Time, but only to the extent related to actions or omissions prior to the Effective Time; provided that (i) the Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms no less advantageous to directors or officers and (ii) such substitution shall not result in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company expend more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”) to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto; and provided, further, that if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Company shall procure and maintain for such six-year period as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Maximum Amount. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall have the right to cause coverage to be extended under the D&O Insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous than the D&O Insurance, and such “tail” policy shall satisfy the provisions of this Section 5.7(c).

(d) The obligations of the Company under this Section 5.7 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.7 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.7).

(e) If the Company or its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of or the Company shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

The Company and Purchaser hereby acknowledge, agree, and covenant that, for a period of at least three years from the Effective Time, they will not take any action, nor cause any of their Affiliates, successors, or assigns, to take any action, that would result in the impairment of the net operating losses and deferred tax benefits of the Company pursuant to Section 382 of the Code or any other similar state or other Law or restriction.

SECTION 5.11. Default Under Top-Up Purchase. In the event that the Purchaser defaults under its obligations to consummate the Top-Up Purchase, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) one of the Purchaser Designees, as determined by Purchaser, shall be required to immediately resign from the Post-Offer Board, with the resulting vacancy to be filled by appointment of the Pre-Existing Independent Directors, provided, however, nothing shall prohibit Purchaser from exercising any of its rights as a stockholder of iGo with respect to the election of iGo’s directors, (ii) for a period of one year after the date of this Agreement, neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate of Purchaser shall purchase or otherwise acquire, or cause the Company to purchase or acquire, any Company Common Stock at a price of less than $3.95 per share of Company Common Stock without the prior consent of the Pre-Existing Board, and (iii) the Purchaser shall return or forfeit, as the case may be, any reimbursement of expenses or fees to which it otherwise would be entitled under Section 7.3.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any applicable Law, then such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. Such provision shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, and if no such modification shall render it legal, valid and enforceable, then this Agreement shall be construed as if not containing the provision held to be invalid, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

Exhibit A

Conditions of the Offer

Notwithstanding any other term of the Offer or this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-l(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Purchaser’s obligation to pay for or return tendered shares of Company Common Stock promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), to accept for payment or pay for any shares of Company Common Stock not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for, and may terminate or amend the Offer, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement if, at the then effective expiration date for the Offer, any of the following conditions exists:

(a) the Minimum Condition has not been met;

(b) Consummation of the Offer or the Transactions would result, or be reasonably likely to result, in any reduction or impairment in the NOLs under Section 382 of the Code;

(c) any Judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a Governmental Authority, or any Law or other legal restraint or prohibition, shall be in effect that would make the Offer or the Transactions illegal or otherwise prevent the consummation thereof; provided that Purchaser shall not assert this condition unless Purchaser have used those efforts required under the Agreement to resist, lift or resolve such Judgment, Law or other legal restraint or prohibition;

(d) except as disclosed in the Company SEC Reports or as made available by posting such information to a “virtual data room” available to Purchaser, since the date of this Agreement, there shall have occurred any event, change, effect or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect;

(e) (A) any representation and warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement that is qualified by reference to a Company Material Adverse Effect shall not be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the then effective expiration date for the Offer, except to the extent such representation and warranty expressly relates to an earlier time (in which case on and as of such earlier time) or (B) any representation and warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement that is not so qualified shall not be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the then effective expiration date for the Offer, except to the extent such representation and warranty expressly relates to an earlier time (in which case on and as of such earlier time), other than in the case of clause (B) for such failures to be true and correct that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect;

(f) the Company shall have failed to perform in any material respect any obligation or to comply in any material respect with any agreement or covenant of the Company to be performed or complied with by it under this Agreement prior to such time; or

(g) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms;

A-1

which, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, makes it inadvisable to proceed with such acceptance for payment or payment.

The failure by Purchaser or any other Affiliate of Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
