On and as of the date hereof, each Grantor has good title to its owned properties and other tangible assets, free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens (as defined in the Indenture). The tangible properties of each Grantor are in good repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted), appropriately insured and suitable for their uses except where the failure to be in such good repair or appropriately insured and suitable for their uses would, individually or in the aggregate, not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The real properties held under lease by each Grantor are and will be held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases which are and will be in full force and effect except where the failure to be valid, subsisting, enforceable and in full force and effect would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no defaults by any Grantor are existing under any such lease which could result in the termination of one or more of such leases by such lessor without regard to notice or passage of time, which termination(s), individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 6.14.

On and as of the Closing Date and upon filing by the Collateral Trustee of (i) financing statements, (ii) any filings required with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and (iii) any filings required with the United States Copyright Office, the security interests granted pursuant to the Security Documents will constitute valid, perfected security interests on the Collateral described therein (as may be perfected by the filing of financing statements) for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, enforceable as such against all creditors of any Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any such Collateral from any Grantor (except purchasers of inventory in the ordinary course of business) except (x) as enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of law or equity) and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought and (y) the priority thereof is subject to Liens granted in favor of the Bank Agent under the Senior Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement).

As of the Closing Date, no SEC Document, Bankruptcy Document, Note Document or any other statement, representation or warranty made by any Grantor or, to the actual knowledge of any Grantor after reasonable inquiry, any other person (other than Purchasers) in any of the Note Documents or in any certificate or document delivered with respect thereto, shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each certificate signed by any officer of any Grantor and delivered to Purchasers or counsel for Purchasers in connection with the Transactions shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such Grantor to Purchasers as to the matters covered thereby. 6.29.

Each Grantor shall notify Purchasers promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which such Grantor is aware in connection with the matters addressed by this Agreement which involves any Grantor and any of the Indemnified Parties. The indemnification provided under this Section 8 shall be effective with respect to any Proceeding whether or not (x) such Proceeding is brought by any Grantor, any of its directors, securityholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person, (y) an Indemnified Party is otherwise party thereto or (z) the Transactions are consummated. 8.2. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made AMERCO NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT against the indemnifying party under Section 8.1 above, notify Issuer of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify Issuer shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under Section 8.1 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify Issuer shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under Section 8.1 above. 8.3. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section 8), then Grantors, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Grantors, on the one hand, and Purchasers, on the other hand, from the Offering, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of any Grantor, on the one hand, and Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by Grantors, on the one hand, and Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by Grantors and the fees received by Purchasers, bear to the total price of the Notes on or prior to the Closing Date. The relative fault of Grantors, on the one hand, and Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by any Grantor, on the one hand, or Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 was available to such party. Each party hereto agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.3, Purchasers shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which fees received by Purchasers on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Notes exceeds the amount of any damages that Purchasers have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 8.4. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 are in addition to any liability that any Grantor may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties. 8.5. No claim may be made by any Grantor or any other Person against any Indemnified Party for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the Transactions, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Grantor, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, AMERCO NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. Furthermore, no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to any Grantor, any Affiliate of any Grantor, or any of their respective securityholders or creditors for or in connection with the Transactions except for direct damages determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
