Exhibit 10.1A
FIRST AMENDMENT TO
THE
AMERCO EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP
PLAN
On March 16,
1973, AMERCO, a Nevada corporation (the "Corporation") established
the AMERCO Profit Sharing Retirement Trust (the "Profit Sharing
Plan") for certain of its employees. The Profit Sharing Plan was
subsequently amended from time to time. Effective April 1, 1984,
the Corporation established the AMERCO Employee Savings and
Protection Plan (the "Savings Plan") to permit employee
contributions to be made on a favorable tax basis through
utilization of the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code"). The Savings Plan was subsequently
amended from time to time. Effective January 1, 1988, the Profit
Sharing Plan and the Savings Plan were merged into a single plan
called the "AMERCO Retirement Savings and Profit Sharing Plan" (the
"Profit Sharing Plan").
Effective as of July 24, 1988, AMERCO
established an "employee stock ownership plan
" (as defined in Section 407(d)(6) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (the "Act") and Section
4975(e)(7) of the Code) designed to invest primarily in "qualifying
employer securities" (as defined in Section 407(d)(5) of the Act
and Section 4975(e)(8) of the Code) of the Corporation (the
"ESOP"). At the time, the ESOP was contained in a single document
with the Profit Sharing Plan and became known as the "AMERCO
Employee Savings, Profit Sharing and Employee Stock Ownership
Plan." Notwithstanding the fact that the ESOP was contained in a
single document, it was in fact a "stand alone" plan.
The AMERCO Employee Savings, Profit Sharing and
Employee Stock Ownership Plan was subsequently amended and restated
in its entirety effective January 1, 1989 to comply with the Tax
Reform Act of 1986 ("TRA 86") and to make certain other
modifications. The AMERCO Employee Savings, Profit Sharing and
Employee Stock Ownership Plan was then amended on four
occasions.
The AMERCO Employee Savings, Profit Sharing and
Employee Stock Ownership Plan was then amended and restated in its
entirety to comply with the Small Business Job Protection Act of
1996 ("SBJPA"), the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment
Rights Act of 1994 ("USERRA "), the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997
("TRA 97")
The AMERCO Employee Savings, Profit Sharing and
Employee Stock Ownership Plan was subsequently amended to comply
with GUST and EGTRRA legislative changes and to make certain other
modifications.
Effective January 1, 2007, the AMERCO Employee
Savings, Profit Sharing and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
"ESOP") was amended by restating the AMERCO Employee Stock
Ownership Plan its entirety as a separate plan document to
incorporate certain amendments, and make certain administrative as
well as other
miscellaneous
changes. The AMERCO Employee Savings and Profit Sharing Plan was
also restated and amended in its entirety as a separate plan
document (the "Employee Savings and Profit Sharing
Plan").
By the adoption of this document, the ESOP
(hereinafter the "Plan") is amended, effective January 1, 2009, as
follows:
1. Section 11.5 (d)
of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to
provide as follows:
"(b) TERMINATION AND
DISABILITY
