I once got put under a similar contract, while I was employed. (part of a merger). The alternative was to be out of a job with a pregnant wife. I later talked to a labor lawyer, who told me it was essentially unenforceable, and he was >95% certain I would win, but the contract also stipulated that it would be tried in NY (A very far away from me place) and that it would probably cost me $5k-$10k to defend it.
