In the sales contract, he agrees that he will refrain from practicing accounting anywhere within a 20-mile radius of Bossier City for a period of two years. However, on weekends he returns to his house in Bossier City, and when clients call him, he meets with them in his home. The sales agreement:

will be divided into an enforceable, valid portion and an unenforceable, invalid portion, which is the time provision, because the two-year period is too long.

d.

is illegal, because it is a violation of public policy.
