4.1 Confidentiality. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Collegiate Pacific and SSG each agree that all information communicated to it by the other or the other’s affiliates, whether before or after the Effective Date, including without limitation the terms of this Agreement, will be received in strict confidence, will be used only for purposes of this Agreement, and will not, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied, be disclosed by the recipient party, its agents, subcontractors or employees in any manner whatsoever other than as required by law or to inform a recipient party’s lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, and the parties’ respective lender(s) for purposes of complying with the terms of any loan agreement. Each party agrees to use the same means it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in any event not less than reasonable means, to prevent the disclosure of such information to outside parties. However, neither party shall be prevented from disclosing information which belongs to such party or is (a) already known by the recipient party without an obligation of confidentiality other than pursuant to this Agreement; (b) publicly known or becomes publicly known through no unauthorized act of the recipient party; (c) rightfully received from a third party; (d) independently developed without use of the other party’s confidential information; (e) disclosed without similar restrictions to a third party by the party owning the confidential information; (f) approved by the other party for disclosure; or (g) required to be disclosed pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency or law if the disclosing party provides the other party with notice of this requirement prior to disclosure. The provisions of this Section will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
4.2 Limited Use of Trademarks and Names. Each party shall use its own trademarks and names in all dealings and neither party may use any trademarks or tradenames or rights to use same belonging to the other party and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates without the other party’s prior written consent in each instance. To the extent either party gives such consent to the other party, the other party may use such trademarks, brand and product names and such other brand name(s) under which the products may hereinafter be marketed in the United States by either party and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Brand Names and Marks”) only in connection with the performance of the SSG Services under this Agreement. Either party may withdraw its consent to use any of its Brand Names or Marks at any time by written notice to the other party. Thereafter, except as provided below, no advertising or other use of the Brand Names and Marks may be made by either party without the express written consent of the other party in each instance. All use of the Brand Names and Marks of each party and all goodwill associated therewith shall inure to the benefit of each party and neither party shall have any interest in or rights to the Brand Names or Marks of the other party nor shall have or accrue any interest in or to the goodwill associated therewith. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, each party shall discontinue all use of the Brand Names or Marks of the other party in advertising or otherwise, and shall remove all signs and displays relating thereto and shall return to the other party at each party’s expense, all signs, displays and other writings and materials relating thereto; provided, however, the foregoing does not apply to any advertising in the process of being printed or in inventory that includes both party’s products (including, without limitation, catalogs). Neither party holds and this Agreement does not grant to either party a license or permission to use the Brand Names or Marks of the other party, except for the limited use set forth in this Section 4.2.

Each party acknowledges that its breach of any of the provisions of this Article IV might cause irreparable injury to the other for which monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Accordingly, a party may seek injunctions and other equitable remedies in the event of such a breach by the other. The right of each of the parties to seek injunctive relief shall not limit in any manner their respective rights to seek other and/or additional remedies at law or in equity.
