(a) Any covenant not to compete contained in a contract or agreement is void and unenforceable. (2) the covenant not to compete is agreed upon in anticipation of the dissolution of a business.

The very basic requirements are that the non-compete must (1) be in writing; (2) be part of an employment contract; (3) be based on valuable consideration; (4) be reasonable in scope of time and of territory; (5) not be against public policy.
