Because of such limited marketability of interests, such substantial reliance on the covenants and conditions hereof, and the unique relationship that exists among Members entering into a common business venture, among other reasons, it is expressly agreed and acknowledged that the Members will be irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is not specifically enforced. Should any dispute arise concerning the Transfer of Units, an injunction may be issued enjoining such Transfer pending the determination of such controversy. Such remedy shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedy which the parties may have at law or in equity.
