Any such agreement shall bind the successors and assigns of the parties thereto in land affected thereby and shall be enforceable in an action for specific performance. No such agreement when approved by the supervisor hereunder shall be held to violate any of the statutes of this state prohibiting monopolies or acts, arrangements, agreements, contracts, combinations, or conspiracies in restraint of trade or commerce.(Amended by Stats. 1983, Ch. 369, Sec. 10.)
