7.1. Contributor Indemnification.  Subject to the limitations provided below, from and after the Closing Date, each Contributor agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the MacKenzie Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses, which are incurred or suffered by any of them based upon, arising out of, in connection with or by reason of (i) any act, omission, occurrence or event accruing, arising or occurring prior to the Closing Date (except as otherwise set forth in sub‑sections (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section), (ii) the breach of any of the representations or warranties of such Contributor, (iii) any breach by such Contributor of its obligations under this Agreement, including any covenant required to be performed by such Contributor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (iv) any claim brought against one or more MacKenzie Indemnified Parties by any Person who directly or indirectly owned an equity interest in the Property Owner prior to the Closing (or another Person on behalf of such Person who directly or indirectly owned an equity interest in the Property Owner prior to the Closing) arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7.2. MacKenzie Indemnification.  Subject to the limitations provided below, from and after the Closing Date, each of MacKenzie OP and MacKenzie REIT agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Contributor Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses, which are incurred or suffered by the Contributor Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, in connection with or by reason of (i) the breach of any of the representations or warranties of MacKenzie OP or MacKenzie REIT, or (ii) any breach by MacKenzie OP or MacKenzie REIT of its obligations under this Agreement including any covenant required to be performed by MacKenzie OP or MacKenzie REIT pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
7.3. Indemnification Procedure.
(a)
In the event that either the MacKenzie Indemnified Parties or the Contributor Indemnified Parties shall incur or suffer any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such party pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7, the party seeking to be indemnified hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) shall assert a claim for indemnification by written notice (a “Notice”) to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) stating the nature and basis of such claim.  In the case of Losses arising by reason of any third party claim, the Notice shall be given within sixty (60) days of the filing of any such claim against the Indemnitee, but the failure of the Indemnitee to give the Notice within such period shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that the Indemnitor may have to the Indemnitee except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby and then only to the extent of such prejudice.
(b)
The Indemnitee shall provide to the Indemnitor on request all information and documentation reasonably necessary to support and verify any Losses which the Indemnitee believes give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder and shall give the Indemnitor reasonable access to all books, records and personnel in the possession or under the control of the Indemnitee which would have bearing on such claim.
(c)
In the case of third party claims for which indemnification is sought, the Indemnitor shall have the option (i) to conduct any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith, (ii) to take all other steps to settle or defend any such claim (provided that the Indemnitor shall not, without the consent of the Indemnitee, settle any such claim on terms which do not (A) include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question to the Indemnitee of a release of all liabilities in respect of such claims, and (B) result only in the payment of monetary damages), and (iii) to employ counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, to contest any such claim or liability in the name of the Indemnitee or otherwise.  In any event, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and by its own counsel in any proceedings relating to any third party claim; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action or claim include both the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there would be a conflict of interest were the same counsel to represent the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate counsel at the Indemnitor’s expense; provided further, however, that such action or claim shall not be settled without the Indemnitor’s consent, which shall not unreasonably be withheld.  The Indemnitor shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice, notify the Indemnitee of its intention to assume the defense of such claim.  Until the Indemnitee has received notice of the Indemnitor’s election whether to defend any claim, the Indemnitee shall take reasonable steps to defend (but may not settle) such claim.  If the Indemnitor shall decline to assume the defense of any such claim, or shall fail to notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of the Indemnitor’s election to defend such claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim.  The expenses of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits in respect of claims for which the Indemnitor would be responsible for indemnifying the Indemnitee if determined adversely to the Indemnitee shall be borne by the Indemnitor and paid by the Indemnitor as incurred promptly after delivery of reasonably detailed invoices therefor.
7.4. Cooperation in Defense.  Each party indemnified under any indemnity contained in this Agreement shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of the third-party claim pursuant to which the indemnifying party is alleged to have liability.
7.5. Survival.  This Article 7 shall survive Closing.  Subject to the terms of this Section below, all representations and warranties of each Contributor and all Contributors contained in this Agreement shall survive Closing for a period of fifteen (15) months and shall not be merged in any instrument of conveyance except that (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing indefinitely, and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1(l) and Section 4.1(p) shall survive the Closing until ninety (90) days following the applicable statute of limitations period.  All covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing.  If a written notice asserting a claim for breach of any such representation or warranty or a claim for indemnification under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall have been given to the indemnifying party prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty or claim under Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as the case may be, such representation and warranty and any right to indemnification for breach thereof, shall survive, to the extent of such claim only, until such claim is resolved.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for the purposes of calculating Losses, if such claim relates to a breach of a representation or warranty and such representation or warranty is qualified in any respect by materiality, for the purposes of calculating Losses such materiality qualification will be ignored.  Each Contributor acknowledges that in the event this Agreement requires such Contributor to indemnify the Indemnitees for Losses pursuant to the terms of this Article 7, then without further notice or action, each of MacKenzie OP and MacKenzie REIT shall have the right to, at their option, either (i) require such Contributor to surrender a number of Class A OP Units or REIT Shares (as applicable) held by such Contributor in an amount equal to the total liability of the Contributor under this Article 7 divided by $10.25, (ii) apply the amount of any distributions that such Contributor shall be entitled to by virtue of being a holder of Class A OP Units or REIT Shares with respect to such indemnification obligation, and/or (iii) demand the total liability of such Contributor under this Article 7 as a cash lump sum, and upon such surrender, application and/or payment, as applicable, such Contributor’s obligations to indemnify each of MacKenzie OP or MacKenzie REIT for such Losses shall be deemed satisfied in full.  The amount of cash and/or number of Class A OP Units or REIT Shares (as applicable) that shall be so surrendered, applied and/or paid pursuant to this Section 7.5, if any, shall be determined by each of MacKenzie OP and MacKenzie REIT.
Article 8
Miscellaneous
8.1. Brokers.  Each party to this Agreement represents and warrants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates has had any contact or dealings regarding the Property or any communication in connection with the subject matter of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, through any real estate broker or other Person who can claim a right to a commission or finder’s fee in connection therewith.
8.2. Marketing.  Each Contributor shall not, and shall cause the Property Owner not to, market the Property or any interest therein for sale during the term of this Agreement or entertain or discuss any offer to purchase or acquire the Property or any interest therein with any Person other than MacKenzie OP and its Affiliates.
8.3. Entire Agreement; No Amendment.  This Agreement and the Related Agreements represent the entire agreement among each of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  It is expressly understood that no representations, warranties, guarantees or other statements shall be valid or binding upon a party unless expressly set forth in this Agreement.  It is further understood that any prior agreements or understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof have merged in this Agreement or the Related Agreements, which together fully express all agreements of the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof and supersede all such prior agreements and understandings.  This Agreement may not be amended, modified or otherwise altered except by a written agreement approved by MacKenzie OP and the Contributor Representative.  It is agreed that no obligation under this Agreement which by its terms is to be performed or continue to be performed after the Closing and no provision of this Agreement which is expressly to survive the Closing shall merge upon the Closing, but shall survive the Closing.
8.4. Certain Expenses.  The expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (whether or not the Closing shall take place), including, without limitation, all accounting, legal, investigatory and appraisal fees, shall be paid by each party according to the custom of the state where the Property is located.  MacKenzie OP shall be responsible for paying on or before the Closing 100% of any state or county, 100% of any city or local, transfer, documentary or stamp taxes due and payable in connection with the contribution of the Contributed Interests to MacKenzie OP (or its designee) and 100% of the costs and expenses of each Title Policy (if any).
8.5. Tax Covenants.  Each Contributor, MacKenzie OP and MacKenzie REIT shall provide each other with such cooperation and information relating to any of the Class A OP Units, REIT Shares, the Property Owner or the Property as the parties reasonably may request in connection with (i) filing any tax return, amended tax return or claim for Tax refund, (ii) determining any liability for Taxes or a right to a Tax refund, (iii) conducting or defending any proceeding in respect of Taxes, or (iv) determining any tax attributes related to the Property, each Contributor or any direct or indirect owners of such Contributor with respect to the ownership of the Class A OP Units and/or REIT Shares.  Such reasonable cooperation shall include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  MacKenzie OP shall promptly notify each Contributor upon receipt by MacKenzie OP or its Affiliates of notice of (A) any pending or threatened tax audits or assessments with respect to the income, properties or operations of any of MacKenzie OP or with respect to the Property Owner or the Property and (B) any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign tax audits or assessments of MacKenzie OP or any of its Affiliates, in each case which may affect the liabilities for taxes of such Contributor (or any direct or indirect owners) or Property Owner with respect to any tax period ending before or as a result of the Closing.  Each Contributor shall promptly notify MacKenzie OP in writing upon receipt by such Contributor, Property Owner, or any of their respective Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of MacKenzie OP, the Property Owner, or with respect to the Property.  Each Contributor and MacKenzie OP shall retain all tax returns, schedules and work papers with respect to MacKenzie OP, the Property Owner, and the Property, and all material records and other documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the taxable years to which such tax returns and other documents relate and until the final determination of any tax in respect of such years.  This Section 8.5 shall survive the Closing.

8.7. No Assignment.  Except as provided in this Section below, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party.
8.8. Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof.
8.9. Multiple Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts.  If so executed, all of such counterparts shall constitute but one agreement, and, in proving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.  To facilitate execution of this Agreement, the parties may execute and exchange by facsimile or electronic mail PDF copies of counterparts of the signature pages.
8.10. Further Assurances.  From and after the Effective Date and after the Closing, the parties hereto shall take such further actions and execute and deliver such further documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by the other party and are reasonably necessary to provide to the respective parties hereto the benefits intended to be afforded hereby, including, without limitation, all books and records relating to the Property.
8.11. Miscellaneous.  Whenever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular where appropriate, and words of any gender shall include the other gender when appropriate.  The headings of the Articles and the Sections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be taken into account in determining the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.  The words “hereof” and “herein” refer to this entire Agreement and not merely the Section in which such words appear.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.  The Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement.
8.12. Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement (except the provision relating to each Contributor’s obligation to contribute such Contributor’s Contributed Interests or MacKenzie OP or MacKenzie REIT’s obligation to issue the Class A OP Units and/or REIT Shares (as applicable) to each Contributor pursuant to Section 2.1, the invalidity of any of which shall cause this Agreement to be null and void) is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.
8.13. Confidentiality; Publicity.
(a)
Each party agrees to maintain in confidence through the Closing, and each Contributor agrees to maintain in confidence following the Closing, in each case unless otherwise required by applicable Law, reporting requirements or accounting or auditing standards, all materials and information received from the other party or otherwise regarding the Property Owner, the Property and the other matters which are the subject of this Agreement (“Confidential Information”).  Each Contributor, MacKenzie OP and MacKenzie REIT agree that, prior to the Closing Date, neither of them, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, shall publicly or privately reveal any information relating to the existence or terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as permitted below in this Section 8.13.
(b)
The parties agree that nothing in this Section 8.13 shall prevent each Contributor, MacKenzie OP or MacKenzie REIT from disclosing or accessing any Confidential Information under this Section (i) in connection with the enforcement of a party’s rights hereunder, (ii) pursuant to any legal requirement in connection with the issuance or transfer of securities by MacKenzie OP or MacKenzie REIT, including, without limitation, federal or state securities laws, any reporting requirement or any accounting or auditing standard, or (iii) as may otherwise be required by U.S. federal securities laws.  Each Contributor, MacKenzie OP and MacKenzie REIT further agree that nothing in this Section 8.13 shall prevent the other of them from disclosing any Confidential Information to its respective Affiliates, owners, employees, counsel, lenders, and agents (collectively, “Representatives”) to the extent reasonably necessary to complete the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the disclosing party informs its Representatives of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and remains responsible for enforcing the terms of this Section as to such Representatives.
(c)
Following the Closing, subject to the MacKenzie OP LP Agreement or Charter, MacKenzie OP and MacKenzie REIT shall have the sole right to determine the form, timing and substance of, and to issue, all public disclosures concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d)
Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, each party will (i) promptly deliver to each other party all Confidential Information furnished by such other party or its Representatives, together with all copies and summaries thereof in its possession or under its control or the possession or control of its Representatives, and (ii) destroy all materials it or its Representatives have generated that include or refer to any part of the Confidential Information, without retaining a copy of any such material, and confirm such destruction in writing (including a list of the destroyed materials).
(e)
Because an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Section 8.13 by a party or its Representatives and any such breach would cause the other party irreparable harm, each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 8.13, such other party shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance and shall be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) in enforcing this Section 8.13.
(f)
This Section 8.13 shall survive the Closing.
8.14. Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.
8.15. Attorneys’ Fees.  If this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein gives rise to a lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding between the parties hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other judgment of the court or arbitrator(s).
8.16. Waiver of Jury Trial.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by any party(ies) against any other party(ies) on any matter arising out of or in any way connected with this agreement or the relationship of the parties created hereunder.
8.17. Next Business DayIf the last day for performance of any obligation hereunder is not a Business Day, then the deadline for such performance or the expiration of the applicable period or date shall be extended to the next Business Day.
