It is binding because the parties have entered into contract waiving their rights for a consideration. Hence it is binding. If you are not happy with the terms look else where for the job.

Each employee is a cost for the employer which he has to recvoer from business hence the safeguard.

the clauses which are one sided and favour one person will not survive the test of law and certainly you can exploit the same, further by imposing these clauses the employer cannot retain the employee.

generally no employer can bind you for any period of time to serve since it is considered as restrictions in trade and profession yet there can be other restrictions as such like not to deal with their current clients for a spe ciific period. But it also depend upon several other factors also like the expenditure of the company on you to train you to suit their needs or any other necessary expenses incurred on you.

3rd clause is completely baseless and having no force of law.
