ARTICLE IV. CONFIDENTIALITY
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

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.
4.3 Injunctive Relief. 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.

ARTICLE VI. MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Binding Nature and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assignees. Neither this Agreement, any part hereof, nor any

of the other party hereto (and any attempt to do so will be void), which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

Such notice shall be effective upon the date of delivery or the intended recipient’s refusal to
accept delivery, if sent by personal delivery, registered, certified or express mail, courier
delivery or by telecopy (with confirmation of transmission). After any notice is made hereunder,
the party taking such action will use its best efforts to deliver a copy of such notice to the
e-mail address of the intended recipients as soon as practical but in no event later than 24 hours

together shall constitute one single agreement between the parties hereto.
6.4 Force Majeure. Each party shall be excused from performance hereunder (other than performance
of obligations to make payment) for any period and to the extent that it is prevented from
performing pursuant hereto, in whole or in part, as a result of delays caused by the other or third
parties or an act of God, war, change of law or interpretation of law which materially affects
SSG’s offering or provision of SSG Services hereunder, civil disturbance, court order, labor
dispute, terrorist attacks or other case beyond its reasonable control, including failures or
fluctuations in electrical power, heat, light, air conditioning or telecommunications equipment,
and such nonperformance shall not be a default hereunder or a ground for termination hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such condition shall exist for a period of more than 45 days,
either party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party its written notice of
termination to be effective as of the date set forth in such notice; provided that no party that
shall have caused such condition to exist shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.
6.5 Waiver. No delay or omission by either party hereto to exercise any right or power hereunder
shall impair such right or power or be construed to be waiver thereof. A waiver by either of the
parties hereto of any of the covenants to be performed by the other or any breach thereof shall not
be construed to
- 5 -
be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant herein contained. All
remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of
any other remedies available to either party at law, in equity or otherwise.
6.6 Entire Agreement/No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement, including any schedules referred
to herein and attached hereto, each of which is incorporated in this Agreement for all purposes,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and there are no representations, understandings or agreements relating to this Agreement
which are not fully expressed herein. No amendment, modification, waiver or discharge hereof shall

Agreement may be relied upon or shall benefit any party other than the parties hereto.
6.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to choice of law provisions,
statutes, regulations or principles of this or any other jurisdiction. In any action or proceeding
to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any dispute or claim arising out of this Agreement or the
interpretation, making, performance, breach or termination hereof, shall be subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Texas state courts of Dallas County, Texas (or, if there is
exclusive federal jurisdiction, the federal courts of the Northern District of Texas), and the
parties consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of these courts.
6.8 Relationship of the Parties. Collegiate Pacific and SSG shall be independent contractors for
all purposes. Accordingly, each of Collegiate Pacific and SSG shall have full and complete liberty
to use its own free and uncontrolled will, judgment and discretion as to the method and manner of
performing its respective obligations hereunder. Other than the SSG Services specifically stated
herein to be performed by SSG for Collegiate Pacific, neither party undertakes by this Agreement or
otherwise to perform any regulatory or contractual obligation of the other party, or to assume any
responsibility for the other’s business or operations. Nothing herein contained or done pursuant to
this Agreement shall constitute either party or its agents or employees a partner or joint venturer
of the other party, or a fiduciary of (a) the other party, (b) any benefit plan of the other party,
or (iii) any employee of the other party.

unenforceable or void, then each party will be relieved of its obligations arising under such
provision to the extent such provision is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void
(it being the intent and agreement of the parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by
modifying such provision to the extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable while preserving
its intent or, if that is not possible, by substituting therefor another provision that is legal
and enforceable and achieves the same objective), and each provision not so affected will be
enforced to the full extent permitted by law.
6.10 Other Documents. Each party hereto agrees to execute any and all documents, and to perform
such other acts, that may be necessary or expedient to further the purposes of this Agreement.
