Remember that this question is only relevant if you plan to go and work for your employer's direct competitor after your termination. Do you anticipate working for a competitor after quitting or being fired in the following 12 months? Part of the problem is that the non-compete is open-ended about who the competition is. Were it more specific or clearly defined the niche that is considered direct competition, I might have found it more palatable. Instead, it is open-ended precisely for the purpose that it can be broadly interpreted as the Company deems appropriate.
