Got a copy of the form. Found it on our internal HR page. The relevant paragraph goes like this:

Further, I agree that for a period of one (1) year after the termination of my employment by XXXX for any reason, I will not solicit, or direct others to solicit, electronic distribution of news releases and news information or other activities of XXXX in competition with XXXX's customers or prospective customers with whom I had contact, or whom I gained knowledge of, while in the employ of XXXX.

Looks like I'm SOL as far as working for a competitor, eh? The only out I see is that the first paragraph says this agreement is made between XXXX and lists its NYC address and them my name. I have never been to our NYC office, never had anything to do with them. There is no mention of geographic location anywhere else in the agreement. Am I subject to the law in NYC, DC, AZ or wherever my next employer is based?
