Non-Competes Are Hard
It is very difficult to say. It depends a great deal on the language of the non-compete. I think that few courts in Tennessee would enforce a 10 year 100 mile restriction, but it depends on a lot of factors. The court could enforce the agreement with a shorter more reasonable term and more narrow geographic restrictions. You should have an attorney review your contract and give you advice on how it could be enforced.
