Elements of a contract

Suppose that the Fabulous Hotel hires you as head chef under a  two-year employment contract. After two years, another hotel wants to  hire you. However, in the original employment contract you signed with  the Fabulous Hotel, the following paragraph appears:

“The below-signed agrees not to work as a chef for another hotel in  the same metropolitan area for a period of two years after leaving our  employ.”

• Describe and analyze the five elements of a contract that must exist for this agreement to be enforceable.
• Explain why this contract is governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
• Examine at least two circumstances in which this non-compete agreement would be unenforceable.
