A Nevada Corporation

Dated as of September 8, 2010


ARTICLE I
 
OFFICES
 
SECTION 1.   Offices :
 
The principal office and registered office of the corporation shall be located in the State of Nevada at such locations as the Board of Directors may from time to time authorize by resolutions.  The corporation may have such other offices either within or without the State of Nevada as the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the corporation may require from time to time.
 
SECTION 2.   References :
 
Any reference herein made to law will be deemed to refer to the law of the State of Nevada, including any applicable provisions of Chapter 78 of Title 7, Nevada Revised Statutes (or its successor), as at any given time in effect.  Any reference herein made to the Articles will be deemed to refer to the applicable provision or provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation, and all amendments thereto, as at any given time on file with the office of the clerk of Washoe County, Nevada.
 
SECTION 3.   Shareholders of Record :
 
The word “shareholder” as used herein shall mean one who is a holder of record of shares in the corporation.
 
ARTICLE II
 
SHAREHOLDERS
 
SECTION 1.   Annual Meeting :
 
An annual meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held within a reasonable interval after close of the fiscal year so that the information in the annual report is relatively timely, on a date and at a time of day and place as determined by the Board of Directors.
 
 
 

 
 
SECTION 2.   Special Meetings :
 
a.           Special meetings of the shareholders may be held whenever and wherever called by the Chairman of the Board, a majority of the Board of Directors, or upon the delivery of proper written request of the holders of not less than fifty percent (50%) of all the shares outstanding and entitled to vote at such meeting.  The business which may be conducted at any such special meeting will be confined to the purpose stated in the notice thereof, and to such additional matters as the Chairman of such meeting may rule to be germane to such purposes.
 
b.           For purposes of this Section, proper written request for the call of a special meeting shall be made by a written request specifying the purposes for any special meeting requested and providing the information required by Section 5 hereof.  Such written request must be delivered either in person or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Chairman of the Board, or such other person as may be specifically authorized by law to receive such request.  Within thirty (30) days after receipt of proper written request, a special meeting shall be called and notice given in the manner required by these By-Laws and the meeting shall be held at a time and place selected by the Board of Directors, but not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of such proper written request.  The shareholder(s) who request a special meeting of shareholders must pay the corporation the corporation’s reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of a meeting of shareholders before such notice is prepared and mailed.
 
SECTION 3.   Notice :
 
Notice of any meeting of the shareholders will be given by the corporation as provided by law to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting.  Any such notice may be waived as provided by law.
 
SECTION 4.   Right to Vote :
 
For each meeting of the shareholders, the Board of Directors will fix in advance a record date as contemplated by law, and the shares of stock and the shareholders “entitled to vote” (as that or any similar term is herein used) at any meeting of the shareholders will be determined as of the applicable record date.  The Secretary (or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary) will see to the making and production of any record of shareholders entitled to vote that is required by law.  Any such entitlement may be exercised through proxy, or in such other manner as is specifically provided by law.  No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided by the proxy.  In the event of contest, the burden of proving the validity of any undated, irrevocable, or otherwise contested proxy will rest with the person seeking to exercise the same.  A telegram, cablegram or facsimile appearing to have been transmitted by a shareholder (or by his duly authorized attorney in fact) may, in the discretion of the tellers, if any, be accepted as a sufficiently written and executed proxy.
 
SECTION 5.   Manner of Bringing Business Before the Meeting :
 
At any annual or special meeting of shareholders only such business (including nomination as a director) shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting.  In order to be properly brought before the meeting, such business must be a proper subject for stockholder action under Nevada law and must have either been (A) specified in the written notice of the
 
 
2

 
 
meeting (or any supplement thereto) given to shareholders on the record date for such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (B) brought before the meeting at the direction of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the meeting, selected as provided in Section 9 of this Article II, or (C) specified in a written notice given by or on behalf of a shareholder on the record date for such meeting entitled to vote thereat or a duly authorized proxy for such shareholder, in accordance with the following requirements.  A notice referred to in clause (C) hereof must be delivered personally to, or mailed to and received at, the principal executive office of the corporation, addressed to the attention of the Secretary, not more than ten (10) days after the date of the initial notice referred to in clause (A) hereof, in the case of business to be brought before a special meeting of shareholders, and not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the initial notice referred to in clause (A) hereof with respect to the previous year’s annual meeting, in the case of business to be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders.  Such notice referred to in clause (C) hereof shall set forth (i) a full description of each such item of business proposed to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at such meeting, (ii) the name and address of the person proposing to bring such business before the meeting, (iii) the class and number of shares held of record, held beneficially, and represented by proxy by such person as of the record date for the meeting, if such date has been made publicly available, or as of a date not later than thirty (30) days prior to the delivery of the initial notice referred to in clause (A) hereof, if the record date has not been made publicly available, (iv) if any item of such business involves a nomination for director, all information regarding each such nominee that would be required to be set forth in a definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor thereto, and the written consent of each such nominee to serve if elected, (v) any material interest of such shareholder in the specified business, (vi) whether or not such shareholder is a member of any partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, relationship,       understanding, or otherwise, whether or not in writing, organized in whole or in part for the purpose of acquiring, owning, or voting shares of the corporation, and (vii) all other information that would be required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission if, with respect to the business proposed to be brought before the meeting, the person proposing such business was a participant in a solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor thereto.  No business shall be brought before any meeting of the shareholders of the corporation otherwise than as provided in this Section.
 
Notwithstanding compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Board of Directors shall not be obligated to include information as to any shareholder nominee for director or any other shareholder proposal in any proxy statements or other communication sent to shareholders.
 
The Chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that any proposed item of business or nomination as director was not brought before the meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the improper item of business or nomination shall be disregarded.
 
SECTION 6.   Right to Attend :
 
Except only to the extent of persons designated by the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the meeting to assist in the conduct of the meeting, and except as otherwise permitted by the Board
 
 
3

 
 
or such Chairman, the persons entitled to attend any meeting of shareholders may be confined to (i) shareholders entitled to vote thereat and (ii) the persons upon whom proxies valid for purposes of the meeting have been conferred or their duly appointed substitutes   (if  the  related   proxies   confer  a   power  of substitution); provided, however, that the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the meeting may establish rules limiting the number of persons referred to in clause (ii) as being entitled to attend on behalf of any shareholder so as to preclude such an excessively large representation of such shareholder at the meeting as, in the judgment of the Board or such Chairman, would be unfair to other shareholders represented at the meeting or be unduly disruptive to the orderly conduct of business at such meeting (whether such representation would result from fragmentation of the aggregate number of shares held by such shareholder for the purpose of conferring proxies, from the naming of an excessively large proxy delegation by such shareholder, or from employment of any other device).  A person otherwise entitled to attend any such meeting will cease to be so entitled if, in the judgment of the Chairman of the meeting, such person engages thereat in disorderly conduct impeding the proper conduct of the meeting in the interests of all shareholders as a group.
 
SECTION 7.   Quorum Requirements :
 
One-third of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders.  If less than one-third of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, the majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting without further notice.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.
 
SECTION 8.   Tellers :
 
The Board of Directors, in advance of any shareholders meeting may appoint one or more tellers to act at such meeting (and any adjournment thereof), and may appoint one or more alternate tellers to serve (in the order designated) in the absence of any teller or tellers so appointed.  If any person appointed as a teller or alternate teller fails to appear or to act, a substitute may be appointed by the Chairman of the meeting.  The tellers (acting through a majority of them on any disputed matter) will determine the number of shares outstanding, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies, the credentials of persons purporting to be shareholders or persons named or referred to in proxies, and the number of shares represented at the meeting in person and by proxy; they will receive and count votes, ballots, and consents and announce the results thereof; they will hear and determine all challenges and questions pertaining to proxies and voting; and, in general, they will perform such acts as may be proper to conduct elections and voting with complete fairness to all shareholders.  No such teller need be a shareholder of the corporation.  Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or other governing instrument, each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by him or her, and, in the event a shareholder holds a fraction of a share or a full share plus a fraction, any such fractional share shall be entitled to a proportionate fraction of one vote or such other votes, if any, as is provided in the Articles of Incorporation or other governing instrument.

SECTION 9.   Organization and Conduct of Business :
 
Each shareholders meeting will be called to order and thereafter chaired by the Chairman of the Board if there then is one; or, if not, or if the Chairman of the Board is absent or so requests, then by the President; or if both the Chairman of the Board and the President are unavailable, then by such other officer of the corporation or such shareholder as may be appointed by the Board of Directors.  The Secretary (or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary) of the corporation will act as secretary of each shareholders meeting; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is in attendance, the Chairman of the meeting may appoint any person (whether a shareholder or not) to act as secretary thereat.  After calling a meeting to order, the Chairman thereof may require the registration of all shareholders intending to vote in person, and the filing of all proxies, with the teller or tellers, if one or more have been appointed (or, if not, with the secretary of the meeting).  After the announced time for such filing of proxies has ended, no further proxies or changes, substitutions, or revocations of proxies will be accepted.  The Chairman of a meeting will, among other things, have absolute authority to determine the order of business to be conducted at such meeting and to establish rules for, and appoint personnel to assist in, preserving the orderly conduct of the business of the meeting (including any informal, or question and answer, portions thereof).  Any informational or other informal session of shareholders conducted under the auspices of the corporation after the conclusion of or otherwise in conjunction with any formal business meeting of the shareholders will be chaired by the same person who chairs the formal meeting, and the foregoing authority on his or her part will extend to the conduct of such informal session.
 
SECTION 10.   Voting :
 
The number of shares voted on any matter submitted to the shareholders which is required to constitute their action thereon or approval thereof will be determined in accordance with applicable law, the Articles, and these By-Laws, if applicable.  Voting will be by ballot on any matter as to which a ballot vote is demanded, prior to the time the voting begins, by any person entitled to vote on such matter; otherwise, a voice vote will suffice.  No ballot or change of vote will be accepted after the polls have been declared closed following the ending of the announced time for voting.
 
SECTION 11.   Shareholder Approval or Ratification :
 
The Board of Directors may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any duly constituted meeting of the shareholders, the notice of which either includes mention of the proposed submittal or is waived as provided by law.  If any contract or act so submitted is approved or ratified by a majority of the votes cast thereon at such meeting, the same will be valid and as binding upon the corporation and all of its shareholders as it would be if approved and ratified by each and every shareholder of the corporation.
 
SECTION 12.   Informalities and Irregularities :
 
All informalities or irregularities in any call or notice of a meeting, or in the areas of credentials, proxies, quorums, voting, and similar matters, will be deemed waived if no objection is made at the meeting.

SECTION 13.   Action Without a Meeting :
 
Shareholder action by written consent is prohibited.
 
SECTION 14.   Application of Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive :
 
The provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes shall not apply to the exchange of shares of the corporation’s Series A Common Stock, 0.25 par value, for shares of the corporation’s common stock, $0.25 par value, held by Mark V. Shoen, James P. Shoen and Edward J. Shoen or to any exchange of shares of the corporation’s Common Stock, $0.25 par value for shares of the corporation’s Series A Common Stock, $0.25 par value held by Mark V. Shoen, James P. Shoen and Edward J. Shoen.
 
ARTICLE III
 
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
SECTION 1.   Number and Term of Directors :
 
The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than 4 nor more than 8 directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time solely by a resolution adopted by an affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.  The directors shall be divided into four classes, designated Class I, Class II, Class III and Class IV.  Subject to applicable law, each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-fourth of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors.  At the 1990 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Class I directors shall be elected for a one-year term, Class II directors for a two-year term, Class III directors for a three-year term, and Class IV directors for a four-year term.  At each succeeding annual meeting of shareholders, commencing in 1991, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at the annual meeting shall be elected or reelected for a four-year term.
 
If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes of directors so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.  When the number of directors is increased by the Board of Directors and any newly created directorships are filled by the Board, there shall be no classification of the additional directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders.
 
A director shall hold office until the meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.
 
SECTION 2.   Vacancies :
 
Newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of the directors and any vacancy on the Board of Directors shall be filled by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office.  A director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors and
 
 
6

 
 
until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify; provided, however, that if a vacancy on the Board of Directors occurs or is filled after the date by which a shareholder, acting in accordance with Article II, Section 5(C) of these By-Laws, may present a director nomination before the next meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors, the director elected by the Board of Directors to fill such vacancy shall hold office until the next meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors at which a shareholder, acting in accordance with Article II, Section 5(C) of these By-Laws, may present a director nomination.  This Section shall not apply to any vacancies in the office of any “Preferred Stock Director,” as defined in section (e)(ii) of the Certificate of Designation, Preference, and Rights of Series A Preferred Stock of AMERCO dated October 14, 1993, such vacancies shall be filled pursuant to the terms of said section (e)(ii).
 
SECTION 3.   Regular Meetings :
 
After the adjournment of the annual meeting of the shareholders of the corporation, the newly elected Directors shall meet for the purpose of organization, the election of officers, and the transaction of such other business as may come before said meeting.  No notice shall be required for such meeting.  The meeting may be held within or without the State of Nevada.  Regular meetings, other than the annual ones, may be held at regular intervals at such times and places as the Board of Directors may provide.
 
SECTION 4.   Special Meetings :
 
Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or by any three (3) members of the Board giving written notice thereof to the Chairman of the Board, or said special meeting may be called without notice by unanimous consent of all the members by the presence of all the members of said board at any such meeting.  The special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held within or without the State of Nevada.
 
SECTION 5.   Notice :
 
No notice need be given of regular meetings of the Board of Directors.  Notice of the time and place (but not necessarily the purpose or all of the purposes) of any special meeting will be given to each director in person or by telephone, or via mail or telegram addressed in the manner then appearing on the corporation’s records.  Notice to any director of any such special meeting will be deemed given sufficiently in advance when (i), if given by mail, the same is deposited in the United States mail at least four days before the meeting date, with postage thereon prepaid, (ii) if given by telegram, the same is delivered to the telegraph office for fast transmittal at least 48 hours prior to the convening of the meeting, (iii) if given by facsimile transmission, the same is received by the director or an adult member of his or her office staff or household, at least 24 hours prior to the convening of the meeting, or (iv) if personally delivered or given by telephone, the same is handed, or the substance thereof is communicated over the telephone, to the director or to an adult member of his or her office staff or household, at least 24 hours prior to the convening of the meeting.  Any such notice may be waived as provided by law.  No call or notice of a meeting of directors will be necessary if each of them waives the same in writing or by attendance.  Any meeting, once properly called and noticed (or as to which call and notice
 
 
7

 
 
have been waived as aforesaid) and at which a quorum is formed, may be adjourned to another time and place by a majority of those in attendance.
 
SECTION 6.   Quorum :
 
A majority of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except where otherwise provided by law or by these By-Laws, but if at any meeting of the Board less than a quorum is present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained.
 
SECTION 7.   Action by Telephone or Consent :
 
Any meeting of the Board or any committee thereof may be held by conference telephone or similar communications equipment as permitted by law in which case any required notice of such meeting may generally describe the arrangements (rather than the place) for the holding thereof, and all other provisions herein contained or referred to will apply to such meeting as though it were physically held at a single place.  Action may also be taken by the Board or any committee thereof without a meeting if the members thereof consent in writing thereto as contemplated by law.
 
SECTION 8.   Order of Business :
 
The Board of Directors may, from time to time, determine the order of business at their meeting.  The usual order of business at such meetings shall be as follows:
 
1st           Roll Call; a quorum being present.

3rd.          Consideration of communications of the Board of Directors.

5th.          Unfinished business.
 
6th.          Miscellaneous business.
 
7th.          New business.
 
8th.          Adjournment.
 
SECTION 9.   Voting :
 
Any matter submitted to a vote of the directors will be resolved by a majority of the votes cast thereon.  If during the course of any annual, regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors, at which all the members of said board are present and vote, there is a vote taken and the vote is evenly divided between equal numbers of directors, then, and only then, the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall break the deadlock by casting a second and deciding vote.  This power
 
 
8

 
 
may be exercised by the Chairman of the Board as to any and every issue that properly comes to the board for a vote, including, but not limited to the election of officers.
