Section 3.3 Restriction on Enforcement of Note Liens.
(a) Subject to
clauses (1) through (4) below, Section
3.3(b) and Section 3.14, so long as any
Priority Lien Obligations exist that
have not been Discharged, the holders of
Priority Liens will have the exclusive
right to enforce, foreclose, collect or
realize upon any Collateral consistent
with the provisions of the Priority Lien
Security Documents and applicable law;
provided, however, that, prior to or
concurrent with the taking of any such
Enforcement Action, the Priority Lien
Collateral Agent shall endeavor to deliver
written notice to the Note Collateral Agent
that such Enforcement Action has
been commenced, provided that the Priority
Lien Collateral Agent shall have no
liability to the Holders for failure to
give any notice which is not otherwise
expressly required by applicable law, and
the failure to give any notice to the
Note Collateral Agent or the Holders shall
not constitute a default under this
Agreement or render ineffective any
provision of this Agreement. The Trustee and
the Holders of Notes will not authorize or
instruct the Note Collateral Agent,
and the Note Collateral Agent will not, and
will not authorize or direct any
Person acting for it, the Trustee or any
Holder of Note Obligations, to take any
Enforcement Action, except that, in any
event, any Enforcement Action may be
taken, authorized or instructed by the Note
Collateral Agent:
(1) as
necessary to perfect, or maintain the
perfection or priority of, a Lien upon any Collateral by any method
of
perfection except through possession or control; provided,
however,
that, in the event that the Priority Lien Collateral Agent,
after
written notice from the Trustee or the Note Collateral Agent to do
so,
fails to perfect its Priority Liens against any Collateral for
which
possession or control is required in order to perfect such Liens,
then
the Note Collateral Agent may take control or possession of
such
Collateral in order to perfect its Lien in accordance with
applicable
law, provided, further, that the Note Collateral Agent shall also
hold
any such Collateral for the benefit of the Priority Lien
Collateral
Agent and the Lenders consistent with Article 3 hereof;
(2) as
necessary to prove, preserve or protect
(but not enforce) the Note Liens, in each case, subject to the
provisions of the Note Security Documents;
(3) with
respect to any filing by any Person of
an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the filing of any claim in
or
the taking of any other action not inconsistent with the
express
provisions of this Agreement, required by applicable law with
respect
to such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, including filing
any
necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to
any
motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings (i) in order
to
prevent any Person (other than the Priority Lien Collateral Agent
or
Lenders) from seeking to foreclose on the Collateral or to
12
<PAGE>
supersede any claim thereto of the Holders of the Note Obligations,
the
Trustee or the Note Collateral Agent or (ii) in opposition to
any
motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by
any
Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the
claims
of the Holders of the Note Obligations, the Trustee or the Note
Collateral Agent; or
(4) to
exercise Credit Bid Rights with respect
to the Note Debt at any sale or foreclosure of Collateral.
(b) If a Note
Event of Default has occurred under the
Indenture and the Holders of Note
Obligations have accelerated or demanded
payment of the Note Obligations or
delivered written notice to AMERCO that a
Note Event of Default based on AMERCO's
failure to make a payment of principal
or interest as and when due has occurred
and is continuing in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture, the Note
Collateral Agent may give the Priority Lien
Collateral Agent written notice (each, a
"Default Notice") thereof, specifying
the nature of the Note Event of Default in
reasonable detail, and the Priority
Lien Collateral Agent's receipt of which
shall commence a Standstill Period as
against the Note Collateral Agent. If the
Note Event of Default is continuing at
the expiration of the Standstill Period,
and if the Priority Lien Collateral
Agent has not, prior to the expiration of
such Standstill Period, notified the
Note Collateral Agent that the Priority
Lien Collateral Agent has commenced and
is diligently and in good faith pursuing
one or more Enforcement Actions, then
(and only then), upon an additional written
notice to the Priority Lien
Collateral Agent, the Note Collateral Agent
may, subject to the Lien priority
set forth in this Agreement and prior
application of the proceeds of the
Collateral (less the Note Collateral
Agent's reasonable expenses, if any, in
obtaining such proceeds) to the Priority
Lien Obligations, as provided herein,
take one or more Enforcement Actions.
(c) None of
the rights and remedies otherwise available
to the holders of Priority Liens in respect
of the foreclosure or other
enforcement of Priority Liens and none of
the other rights and remedies of the
holders of Priority Liens and Priority Lien
Obligations under the Priority Lien
Documents will be impaired, restricted or
affected by this Article 3 or any
actions taken by the holders
