Interesting question. All I know is what is in the document I linked earlier:
"Some owners add variety to the restrictions on exclusivity. If a prospect receives a purchase inquiry, the owner may prohibit the prospect from responding and may require the prospect to pass the information along to the owner so as to prevent a "flip" of the transaction."
Not the same as preventing the prospect from pursuing other buying opportunities, but might do.
