Reading the following section "c" in a non-compete agreement, does it look like if my friend left that job, he would not be able to work in the same field for 18 months? In other words, what does this actually/practically prohibit him from doing?
c. During the term of this Agreement, and for a further period of 18 months beginning in the termination of Employee's employment with Company-X under any circumstances, Employee shall not within the geographical territory in which Company-X services or conducts business as proprietor, partner, joint venturer, stockholder, director, officer, trustee, principal, agent, servant, employee or in any capacity whatsoever, directly or indirectly, render services on behalf of a competitor of Company-X or any other third party in any capacity where Trade Secrets and/or Confidential Information would reasonably be considered to be useful to the competitor or to such other third party to become a competitor of Company-X
