No Interference with Customers or Suppliers. In order to forestall the disclosure or use of Confidential Information as well as to deter the Grantee's intentional interference with the contractual relations of the Company or any Affiliated Company, the Grantee's intentional interference with prospective economic advantage of the Company or any Affiliated Company, and to promote fair competition, the Grantee agrees that the Grantee's right to the Common Shares upon vesting of the Restricted Stock is contingent upon the Grantee refraining, d...uring the Restricted Period, for himself or herself or any third party, directly or indirectly, from using Confidential Information to (i) divert or attempt to divert from the Company (or any Affiliated Company) any business of any kind in which it is engaged, or (ii) intentionally solicit its customers with which it has a contractual relationship as to Conflicting Products, or to interfere with the contractual relationship with any of its suppliers or customers (collectively, "Interfere"). If, during the Restricted Period, the Grantee breaches his or her obligation not to Interfere, the Grantee's right to the Common Shares upon vesting of the Restricted Stock shall not have been earned and the Restricted Stock, whether vested or not, shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled, and (x) if the Grantee is at such time Retirement Eligible, the Grantee shall immediately return to the Company the Common Shares received in connection with the vesting of the Restricted Stock or the pre-tax income derived from any disposition of the Common Shares and (y) if the Grantee has not become Retirement Eligible, the Grantee shall immediately return to the Company the Common Shares received in connection with any vesting of the Restricted Stock during the Look-back Period or the pre-tax income derived from any disposition of the Common Shares during the Look-back Period. For avoidance of doubt, the term "Interfere" shall not include any advertisement of Conflicting Products through the use of media intended to reach a broad public audience (such as television, cable, or radio broadcasts, or newspapers or magazines) or the broad distribution of coupons through the use of direct mail or through independent retail outlets. THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS SECTION 3 IS NOT INTENDED TO AND DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE CONDUCT DESCRIBED BUT PROVIDES FOR THE CANCELLATION OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK AND (X) IF THE GRANTEE IS AT SUCH TIME RETIREMENT ELIGIBLE, A RETURN TO THE COMPANY OF THE COMMON SHARES OR THE GROSS TAXABLE PROCEEDS OF ANY DISPOSITION OF THE COMMON SHARES AND (Y) IF THE GRANTEE HAS NOT BECOME RETIREMENT ELIGIBLE, A RETURN TO THE COMPANY OF THE COMMON SHARES RECEIVED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK DURING THE LOOK-BACK PERIOD OR THE GROSS TAXABLE PROCEEDS OF ANY DISPOSITION OF THE COMMON SHARES DURING THE LOOK-BACK PERIOD IF THE GRANTEE SHOULD CHOOSE TO VIOLATE THIS "NO INTERFERENCE WITH CUSTOMERS OR SUPPLIERS" PROVISION DURING THE RESTRICTED PERIOD.
