Facts
Howard Schultz (P) hired Broniec (D) to audit accounts under an employment agreement, whereby D agreed to a noncompete clause that forbade D from competing with P, directly or indirectly, as principal, agent, employer or employee, in any capacity, in a business which would be in competition with P. That covenant was to last for two years after termination and would apply to all territories where P operated. D terminated employment and P sought to enforce the covenant by injunction. P's suit was dismissed; the clause was unenforceable because it was overbroad. P appealed; the court should rewrite the clause to create a valid restriction.
