that such policies shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured); 
  

 8 

 (iii) that, as against Lender, the insurer waives any rights of subrogation, set-off,
counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise; 
 (iv) that, in respect of the interest of Lender in
such policy or policies, the insurance shall not be invalidated by any action or inaction of Mortgagor or of any other Person (other than Lender) and shall insure Lender regardless of any breach or violation by Mortgagor or any other Person (other
than Lender ) of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies; and 
 (v) that, if such insurance is
canceled for any reason whatsoever or changes in any material respect in relation to the interest of Lender or is allowed to lapse for nonpayment of premium, such cancellation, change or lapse shall not be effective as to Lender for thirty
(30) days after receipt by Lender of written notice by the insurer of such cancellation, change or lapse. All proceeds of insurance policies required to be in effect hereof, if for any reason not paid directly to Lender and if not then required

Paragraph 3.3(b) therefor shall have expired. Upon placing such an order, such proceeds, upon the request of Mortgagor, shall be applied directly to payment (including any progress payment) for such repair or replacement Engine, provided, that all
rights of Mortgagor in, to and under such contract for such repair or the purchase of a replacement Engine shall first have been assigned to Lender in a manner reasonably satisfactory in form and substance

 (e) Proceeds of insurance received by Lender on account of damage or loss to any

 3.7 Liens on Mortgaged Property; Taxes. 
 (a) Mortgagor shall always maintain this Mortgage as a first priority security interest and lien upon the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not directly or indirectly create, assume or permit, or suffer to be created and to exist, any
lien, charge or encumbrance on or with respect to any Mortgaged Property, title thereto or any interest therein. Mortgagor shall promptly, at its own cost and expense, take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge any lien, charge or
encumbrance on or with respect to any Mortgaged Property, title thereto or any interest therein. 
 (b) Mortgagor shall pay and indemnify
Lender for, and hold Lender harmless from and against, all income (other than Lender’s income), franchise, gross receipts, rental, sales, use, excise, personal property, ad valorem, value added, leasing, leasing use, stamp, landing,
airport use or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees or withholdings of any nature, together with any penalties, fines or interest thereon (the “Tax(es)”) arising out of transactions contemplated by this Mortgage and imposed
against Lender, Mortgagor or the Aircraft, or any part thereof, by the United States of America, any foreign government, any state, municipal or local subdivision, any agency or instrumentality thereof or any taxing authority upon or with respect to
the Aircraft, or any part 

  

 10 

 
thereof, or upon the ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation, return, transfer or release thereof, or upon the rentals, receipts or earnings
arising therefrom, or upon or with respect to this Mortgage. If a claim is made against Lender for any Tax that is subject to indemnification hereunder, Lender shall notify Mortgagor promptly within thirty (30) days after Mortgagor’s
receipt of such written notice, and Mortgagor will pay such Tax promptly and in no event later than thirty (30) days after such notice; provided, however, that if Mortgagor elects to contest or assume the defense as therein described and
provided that Mortgagor can testify such Tax would not subject the Aircraft to risk of seizure, and Mortgagor so contests or defends in a timely manner and within the legal delays allowed to do so, Mortgagor’s obligation to pay or reimburse
shall, if applicable laws allow, be postponed until a settlement of the matter or a decision is rendered on the defense or contestation. Mortgagor’s contestation or defense shall be at Mortgagor’s sole cost and expense. If the governmental
authority or agency seeking to collect requires any payment to be made or any security assurance or guarantee to be furnished as a condition of contestation or defense, Mortgagor shall pay or furnish same or cause the payment or furnishing thereof.
In case any report or return is required to be made with respect to any Taxes, Mortgagor will either (after notice to Lender) make such report or return in such manner as will show the ownership of the Aircraft in Mortgagor and send a copy of such
report or return to Lender or will notify Lender of such requirement and make such report or return in such manner as shall be satisfactory to Lender. Lender agrees to cooperate fully with Mortgagor in the preparation of any such report or return.

 3.8 Further Assurances. Mortgagor, from time to time, shall perform or execute and deliver, or cause to be performed or executed
and delivered, all such further and other acts, conveyances, transfers, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably appropriate, or as may be requested by Lender, for the better mortgaging, hypothecating, confirming, pledging, granting and
perfecting of a lien and security interest unto Lender, in all or in part, of the Mortgaged Property or for facilitating the execution of the lien created by this Mortgage or for securing to Lender the benefit hereof and of the rights and remedies
created hereby. Mortgagor, at all times, shall defend and protect the lien of this Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property against the enforcement of all claims, liens, penalties and rights asserted by and all Persons whatsoever. 
 3.9 Recording and Filing. Without limiting Paragraph 3.8 above, Lender shall cause this Mortgage and any and all additional instruments which
shall be executed pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Note or of the Purchase Agreement, so far as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, on and at all times after the date of execution to be kept, and this Mortgage filed and recorded in
such places as may be required under applicable law, or as Lender, in its discretion, may reasonably request to perfect and preserve the lien of this Mortgage on all of the Mortgaged Property and to protect the security and the rights and remedies
of Lender hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Mortgagor shall do, or cause to be done, any and all acts and things as may be reasonably requested by Lender to perfect the lien of this Mortgage pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in any jurisdiction with respect to any portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to the provisions of such Code. Except for the escrow fees described in Section 4.10 of the Purchase Agreement (the payment of which shall be shared
equally by Mortgagor and Presley CMR), Mortgagor shall bear the entire cost and expense of all actions required to be taken pursuant to Paragraph 3.8 and 3.9 hereof. 
  

 11 

 3.10 Suits to Protect the Mortgaged Property. Lender shall have power to institute and to
maintain, at Mortgagor’s cost and expense, such suits and proceedings as Lender may reasonably deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Mortgage or to preserve
or protect the interests of Lender in the Mortgaged Property, including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of Lender. 
 3.11 Transfer of Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, convey, assign, further encumber, transfer, alienate or
otherwise dispose of (any of the foregoing actions shall be referred to as a “Transfer”) the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Lender. If Mortgagor Transfers the Mortgaged Property without the
prior written consent of Lender, Lender may, at it its option, declare immediately due and payable the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note secured hereby together with all accrued interest thereon.

without notice of intention to sell or of time or place of sale or of redemption or other notice or demand whatsoever to Mortgagor, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and without advertisement, sell at public or private sale or otherwise
realize upon, the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Mortgaged Property. If notice of any sale or other disposition is required by law to be given, Mortgagor hereby agrees that a notice sent at least ten (10) days before the time of
any intended public sale or after which any private sale or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property is to be made shall be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. Whenever Lender shall demand possession of any of the Mortgaged
Property pursuant to this Article IV, Mortgagor, at its own cost and expense, shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such Mortgaged Property without risk or expense to Lender, to such airport or airports in the United States of America, as shall
be designated by Lender or such other place as may be mutually agreed upon by Mortgagor and Lender. In addition, Mortgagor shall provide, without expense to Lender, storage facilities for such Mortgaged Property. At the request of Lender, Mortgagor
shall promptly execute and deliver to Lender such instruments or other documents as Lender may deem necessary or advisable to enable Lender or an agent or representative designated by Lender, at such time or times and place or places as Lender may
specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property; 
  

 13 

 (ii) Lender, either after entry or without entry, may proceed by suit or suits, at law or in equity, to
foreclose this Mortgage and to sell all or, from time to time, any part of the Mortgaged Property under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; 
 (iii) Lender may take legal proceedings for the appointment of a receiver or receivers (to which Lender shall be entitled as a matter of right) to take possession of the Mortgaged Property pending the sale thereof
pursuant either to the power of sale given in this Paragraph 4.2 or to a judgment, order or decree made in any judicial proceeding or the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this Mortgage; 
 (iv) Lender, either directly or by such agent as it may appoint or by means of a receiver appointed by a court therefor, may enter upon the premises of
Mortgagor and any other premises where any of the Mortgaged Property may be located, take immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property and exclude Mortgagor and all other Persons therefrom, using all necessary force so to do; 
 (v) Lender may appoint a trustee to take title to all or part of the Mortgaged Property on behalf of Lender and to exercise on behalf of Lender any or
all of its remedies hereunder, and Mortgagor shall execute and deliver all such instruments and documents as Lender may reasonably request in connection therewith; and 
 (vi) Upon every taking of possession pursuant to this Paragraph 4.2, Lender from time to time may make all such expenditures for maintenance, insurance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements
to and of the Mortgaged Property as Lender may deem proper. In each such case, Lender shall have the right to hold, use operate, store, lease, control or manage the Mortgaged Property, and to exercise all rights and powers of Mortgagor relating to
the Mortgaged Property, as Lender shall deem appropriate, including the right to enter into any and all such agreements with respect to the use, operation, storage, leasing, control or management of any of the Mortgaged Property as Lender may
determine. 
 (b) No delay or omission of Lender in the exercise of any right, power, remedy or privilege conferred hereunder shall impair
any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and privilege given by this Mortgage to Lender may be exercised from time to time and as
often as may be deemed expedient by Lender. No remedy for the enforcement of the rights of Lender shall be exclusive of or dependent on any other such remedy, but any one or more of such remedies from time to time may be exercised independently or
in combination. 
 4.3 Provisions Regarding Sale. Upon any sale of any of the Mortgaged Property, whether made under the power of sale
hereby given or under judgment, order or decree in any judicial proceedings, for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this Mortgage, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (i) Lender or its representative may bid for and purchase the property being sold and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and
possess and dispose of such property in its absolute right without further accountability, and, in paying the purchase money therefor, may assign to Mortgagor in lieu of cash all or any part of the Note or other Secured Obligations then outstanding
or claims for interest thereon, at par, and the Note, in case the portion thereof as assigned shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to Lender after being appropriately stamped to show partial payment; 
  

 14 

 (ii) Lender or its representative may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and
sufficient deed, bill of sale and instrument of assignment and transfer of the property sold; 
 (iii) Lender or its representative is
hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Mortgagor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment and transfer of the property thus sold and to deregister and export the property,
and for that purpose it may execute and deliver all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment and transfer, and may substitute one (1) or more Person with like power, Mortgagor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its
said attorney, or such substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do by virtue hereof; but if so requested by Lender or by any purchaser, Mortgagor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer, deregistration or export, by execution and
delivering to Lender or to such purchaser all property deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request; 
 (iv) All right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity or otherwise, of Mortgagor of, in and to the property so sold
shall be divested. Such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor, its successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the property sold or any part thereof from, through or under
Mortgagor, its successor or assigns; 
 (v) The receipt of Lender shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such
sale for its or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers and its or their assigns or personal representatives after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of Lender shall not be obligated to see to the application of
such purchase money or be in anyway answerable for any loss, misapplication or non-application thereof; and 
 (vi) To the extent it may
lawfully do so, Mortgagor agrees that it will not, at any time, insist upon or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, or any law permitting him
to direct the order in which the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall be sold, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Mortgage or the Secured Obligations,
and Mortgagor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such laws and covenants, and agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted and delegated to Lender in this Mortgage, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such laws were in force, except that Mortgagor, in any event, shall have the right, prior to 

  

 15 

 
the disposition of any Mortgaged Property or the entering into of a binding commitment therefor, to obtain the release of such Mortgaged Property from the
lien hereof and the return to Mortgagor thereof upon payment of the Secured Obligations in full. 
 4.4 Application of Monies Received by
Lender. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any monies collected pursuant to Article IV or otherwise constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property may be held by Lender as Mortgaged Property or, in the discretion of
Lender, applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations. When so applied, such monies shall be applied as follows: 
 FIRST, to the payment
of the principal of any Note then due and payable; 
 SECOND, to the payment of all Secured Obligations other than principal of any Note;

 THIRD, to the payment of all cost and expenses incurred in connection with this Mortgage, the Purchase Agreement or any Note; 

FOURTH, the balance to be held as additional collateral security for all Secured Obligations not then due and payable; and 
 FIFTH, after all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance (if any) to be paid over to Mortgagor. 
 If, after application of all proceeds of the Mortgaged Property, any Secured Obligation shall remain unpaid, Mortgagor (subject to the limitations of Paragraph 6.9
hereof) shall remain liable thereon for the deficiency, and Lender shall preserve its right to assert claims for the deficiency against Borrower under the Purchase Agreement and the Note. 
 4.5 Waiver of Defaults. By written notice to Mortgagor, Lender may waive any default hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver, such
default shall cease to exist, and any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Mortgage; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon. 
 ARTICLE V - SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 5.1 Discharge. When the principal amount of any Note, together with interest thereon and all Secured Obligations shall have been finally and fully paid, then this Mortgage shall terminate and cease to exist.
Thereupon Lender shall discharge this Mortgage and Lender shall execute and deliver to Mortgagor, at Mortgagor’s cost and expense, such instruments in writing as may be requested by Mortgagor to evidence such cancellation and discharge.

  

 16 

 ARTICLE VI - MISCELLANEOUS 
 6.1 Severability. If any provision of this Mortgage shall be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions or in all jurisdictions, or in all cases
because it conflicts with any other provision or provisions hereof or any constitution or statute or rule of public policy, or for any other reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or
unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions hereunder contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. The invalidity of any one (1) or more phrases, sentences,
clauses, Sections or Articles in this Mortgage shall not affect the remaining portions of this Mortgage or any part hereof.

nature (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel), for or on account of injury to or death of persons (including employees and agents of Mortgagor or Lender), property damage and any other liability which is the
proximate result of: 
 (i) the ownership, possession, control, management, maintenance, condition, storage, use or operation of all or part

 (ii) any failure on the part of Mortgagor to
perform or comply with any of the terms hereof (including, without limitation, any failure by Mortgagor to effect or maintain any insurance required to be effected or maintained pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3.4 hereof ). 
 If Lender shall receive knowledge of any claim or liability hereby indemnified against, Lender shall give prompt notice thereof to Mortgagor. The obligation contained in
this Paragraph 6.4 shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of the Note and all amounts due under the Purchase Agreement or hereunder and notwithstanding the discharge hereof pursuant to Paragraph 5.1 hereof
or otherwise. 
 (b) Mortgagor shall be responsible for, and shall pay, all fees and expenses incurred by Lender (including the reasonable

	Notary PublicPlan and Agreement of Merger

 Exhibit 10.1 
 PLAN AND AGREEMENT OF MERGER 
 This Plan and Agreement of Merger (the
“Agreement”), is effective as of August 28, 2009 by and between NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, an Ohio stock life insurance company with its statutory office located One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, OH 43215 (“NLIC” or
the “Surviving Corporation”), and NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, a Pennsylvania stock life insurance company with its statutory office located at One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, OH 43215 (“NLICA”). NLIC and NLICA
are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Constituent Corporations” or individually as a “Constituent Corporation.” 
 Recitals of Fact 
 A. NLIC is a stock corporation duly organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Ohio, having been originally incorporated on March 21, 1929, and has on the date hereof authorized capital stock consisting of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the par value of $1.00 per share, of which, on the date
hereof, 3,814,779 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding, all of which shares are owned legally and beneficially by Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), a Delaware corporation. 
 B. NLICA is a stock corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, having been originally
incorporated as the Provident Life and Trust Company of Philadelphia on March 22, 1865, and has on the date hereof authorized capital stock consisting of 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the par value of $1.00 per share, all of which on the
date hereof are issued and outstanding, all of which shares are owned legally and beneficially by NFS. 
 C. The Boards of
Directors of the Constituent Corporations have deemed it advisable and in the best interest of said corporations that NLICA be merged with and into NLIC as provided herein and have adopted and approved this Agreement. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, $1.00 and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the laws of the State of Ohio, do hereby agree as follows: 

 1. Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined herein), NLICA shall be merged (the
“Merger”) with and into NLIC, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 2. Effect of Merger. Upon
and after the Effective Time: 
 (a) NLIC shall be the surviving legal entity of the Merger and shall continue to exist as a
domestic stock life insurance company under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Surviving Corporation shall possess all rights, privileges, powers, franchises, and immunities, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities, liabilities and
duties of each of the Constituent Corporations so merged. The Surviving Corporation shall possess and own all of the property, real, personal, and mixed, and all debts owing on whatever account and all other things in action of or belonging to each
of the Constituent Corporations, and such items shall be transferred to and vested in the Surviving Corporation without further act or deed. All debts, liabilities, and duties of the respective Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to
the Surviving Corporation and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if the debts, liabilities, and duties had been incurred or contracted by it, however, all rights of creditors and all liens upon the property of either of the Constituent
Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, limited in lien to the property affected by the lien at the Effective Time. 
 (b) At the Effective Time, NLICA shall cease to exist as separate legal entity, and its property, rights and obligations shall become the property, rights and obligations of the Surviving Corporation. 
 3. Name and State of Domicile of Surviving Corporation. At and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall continue
to be named “Nationwide Life Insurance Company” and the state of domicile shall remain the State of Ohio. The principal offices of the Surviving Corporation in Ohio shall continue to be One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215.

 4. Articles of Incorporation; Code of Regulations. At and after the Effective Time, the current Articles of
Incorporation and Code of Regulations of NLIC shall continue as the Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations of the Surviving Corporation. 
 5. Directors and Officers. At and after the Effective Time, the members of the Board of Directors of NLIC and the officers of NLIC shall continue as the members of the Board of Directors of the Surviving

 6. Shares of Survivor. Each share of the common stock of NLIC issued and
outstanding at the Effective Time shall thereupon, without further action, remain outstanding as one share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation, without the issuance or exchange of new shares or share certificates, and no additional
shares of the Surviving Corporation shall be issued. 
 7. Cancellation of the NLICA Shares. As of the Effective Time,

Corporation and the par value thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall remain the same after the Effective Time, unless and until changed as provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation and the Code of Regulations of the Surviving
Corporation. 
 9. No Consideration for Assistance of Officer and Directors. No director, officer, agent or employee
of the Constituent Corporations shall receive any fee, commission, compensation or other valuable consideration whatsoever, solely for in any manner aiding, promoting or assisting in the adoption or approval of this Agreement.

provisions of this Agreement, the Boards of Directors of the Constituent Corporations, at any time before or after the approval by shareholder of any of them, and prior to the Effective Time, and for any reason they may deem sufficient and proper,
shall have the power and authority to amend or in the alternative, to abandon and refrain from making effective the contemplated Merger as set forth herein; in which case this Agreement shall thereby be cancelled and become null and void.
