 Exhibit 10.16 
 Description of Non-Employee Director Compensation 
 Each non-employee director of Markel
Corporation (“Company”) receives for services as director an annual fee of $30,000, plus reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings and training sessions attended at the Company’s request. The Company
also matches up to $5,000 per year in charitable contributions made by each non-employee director. 
 Each non-employee director other than
Lemuel Lewis previously received a one-time award of 1,000 Restricted Stock Units under the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan. All such awards have vested and shares issued with the exception of the award to J. Alfred Broaddus, Jr., which will
fully vest in 2009. A one-time award of 250 Restricted Stock Units made to Mr. Lewis when he joined the Board in 2007 has also vested and the shares issued. 
 In 2008, all non-employee directors except Mr. Broaddus received an award of 200 shares of Restricted Stock, which will vest in May 2009. It is currently anticipated that a similar grant will be made to all
non-employee directors for 2009. 
 Non-employee directors are also eligible to participate, up to the total amount of fees received by the
director, in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase and Bonus Plan (“Stock Plan”). Under the Stock Plan, amounts specified by a director are withheld from that director’s fees and forwarded to an independent administrator who
purchases shares of the Company’s Common Stock on behalf of the director participant. In addition, the Company provides a “bonus” of 10% of the net increase in shares owned under the Stock Plan in a calendar year.Summary of Non-Employee Directors' Compensation

 SECTION 4: UNITS. 
 (a) Units

awarded to Managers is 10,000. If any Option or Phantom Unit is forfeited or otherwise terminates or is canceled without the delivery of Units, then the Units covered by such Award, to the extent of such forfeiture, termination or cancellation,

form of cash, Units, other securities or other property), recapitalization, split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Units or other securities of the Partnership,
issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Units or other securities of the Partnership, or other similar transaction or event affects the Units such that an adjustment is necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits
or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall equitably adjust (i) the number and type of Units (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the number
and type of Units (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award; provided, however, that the number of Units subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.

 4 

 SECTION 5: ELIGIBILITY. 
 Any Employee or Manager shall be eligible to be designated a Participant and receive an Award under the Plan. 
 SECTION
6: AWARDS. 
 (a) Options. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees to whom Options shall be
granted, the number of Units to be covered by each Option, the exercise price therefor, the Restricted Period and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent
with the provisions of the Plan. 
 (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Unit purchasable under an Option shall be determined by
the Committee at the time the Option is granted and may be more or less than its Fair Market Value as of the date of grant. 
 (ii) Time
and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the Restricted Period and the method or methods by which payment of the exercise price may be made or deemed to have been made, which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable

to the relevant exercise price. 
 (b) Phantom Units. 
 (i) Awards to Employees. The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Employees to whom Phantom Units shall be granted, the number of Phantom Units to be granted to each such Participant, the
Restricted Period, the conditions under which the Phantom Units may become vested or forfeited, whether DERs are granted with respect to an Award and such other terms and conditions, as the Committee may determine, that are not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan. 
 (ii) Awards to Managers. Each Manager who is a member of the Board as of the effective date of the Plan
shall be awarded Phantom Units with DERs as of that date in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 500 or (B) that number of Phantom Units equal to $15,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of that date. Each Manager who is first
appointed to the Board on or after the effective date of the Plan shall be awarded Phantom Units with DERs as of the date of first appointment in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 500 or (B) that number of Phantom Units equal to $15,000
divided by the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of that date. Thereafter, on each anniversary of the date on which a Manager is first awarded Phantom Units during the term of the Plan, the Manager shall be awarded Phantom Units with DERs as of that
date in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 500 or (B) that number of Phantom Units equal to $15,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of a Unit as of that date. Except as provided in Section 6(b)(iii), a Manager shall vest in 25% of
his or her Phantom Units on each anniversary of the original Award for such Phantom Units such that each Award shall fully vest on the fourth anniversary of the Award. 
  

 5 

 (c) General. 
 (i) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the Award, upon termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates or membership on the Board during the applicable
Restricted Period, all Options and unvested Phantom Units shall be forfeited by the Participant; provided, however, that if the reason for the termination is the Participant’s death or Disability, all Options awarded to the Participant shall
become exercisable and all Phantom Units shall vest automatically. The Committee may, in its discretion, waive in whole or in part any forfeiture. 
 (ii) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award
granted under any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. 
 (iii) Limits on Transfer of Awards. 
 (A) Except as provided in (C),below, each Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or by the person
to whom the Participant’s rights shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 (B) Except as provided in
(C) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer
or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Partnership, the Company or any Affiliate thereof. 
 (C) To the extent
specifically provided by the Committee with respect to an Option grant, an Option may be transferred by a Participant without consideration to immediate family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities or on such
terms and conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish. In addition, Awards may be transferred by will and the laws of descent and distribution. 
 (iv) Unit Certificates. All certificates for Units or other securities of the Partnership delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and
other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Units or other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state
laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
 (v) Delivery of Units or Other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any grant agreement to the contrary, delivery of Units pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award may
be deferred for any period during which, in the good faith determination of the Committee, the Partnership is not reasonably able to obtain or issue Units pursuant to such Award without violating the rules or regulations of any applicable law or
securities exchange. No Units or other securities shall be delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award grant agreement (including, without limitation, any
exercise price or tax withholding) is received by the Partnership. 
  

 6 

 (vi) Rule 16b-3. It is intended that the Plan and any Award made to a Participant subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act meet all of the requirements of Rule 16b-3. If any provision of the Plan or any such Award would disqualify the Plan or such Award under, or would otherwise not comply with Rule 16b-3, such provision or Award
shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to Rule 16b-3. 
 (vii) Status of Original Issue Units. The Partnership intends, but
shall not be obligated, to register for sale under the Securities Act the Units acquirable pursuant to Awards, and to keep such registration effective throughout the period any Awards are in effect. In the absence of such effective registration or
an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, delivery of Units acquirable pursuant to Awards shall be delayed until registration of such Units is effective or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is
available. In the event exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available, a Participant (or a Participant’s estate or personal representative in the event of the Participant’s death or incapacity), if requested by the
Partnership to do so, will execute and deliver to the Partnership in writing an agreement containing such provisions as the Partnership may require to assure compliance with applicable securities laws. No sale or disposition of Units acquired
pursuant to an Award by a Participant shall be made in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to such Units unless an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Partnership that such sale or disposition
will not constitute a violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws is first obtained. 
 (viii) Change in
Control. Upon a Change in Control, unless the Committee determines otherwise in the terms of the Award, all Awards shall automatically vest and become payable or exercisable, as the case may be, in full. In the event of a Change in Control,
unless the Committee determines otherwise in the terms of the Award, all Restricted Periods shall terminate and all performance criteria, if any, shall be deemed to have been achieved at the maximum level. To the extent an Option that has become
fully vested and exercisable is not exercised upon a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its discretion, cancel such Award without payment. The Committee may also, in its discretion, provide for a replacement grant with respect to such property
and on such terms as it deems appropriate. 
 SECTION 7: AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. 
 Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law: 
 (a)
Amendments to the Plan. Except as required by the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Units are traded and subject to Section 7(b) below, the Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate
the Plan in any manner without the consent of any partner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or other Person. 
 (b)
Amendments to Awards. Subject to Section 7(a), the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change, other than pursuant to Section 7(c), in any Award
shall materially reduce the benefit to a Participant without the consent of such Participant. 
  

 7 

 (c) Adjustment of Awards upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The
Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(c) of the
Plan) affecting the Partnership or the financial statements of the Partnership, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. 
 SECTION 8: GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

 (a) No Rights to Award. No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment of Participants. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant. 
 (b)
Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Units, other
securities, Units that would otherwise be issued pursuant to such Award or other property) of any applicable taxes payable in respect of the grant of an Award, its exercise, the lapse of restrictions thereon, or any payment or transfer under an
Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or Affiliate to satisfy its withholding obligations for the payment of such taxes. 
 (c) No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the
Company or any Affiliate or to remain on the Board. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or
in any Award agreement. 
 (d) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations
relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law. 
 (e)
Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed
applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the
Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (f) Compliance with Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Units or other consideration under an Award if, in its sole
discretion, it determines that the 

  

 8 

 
issuance or transfer or such Units or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, the rules of the principal securities exchange
on which the Units are then traded, or entitle the Partnership or an Affiliate to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Partnership by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection
with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. It is intended that, to the extent applicable, Awards made under the Plan comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and the
regulations thereunder. To the extent that any legal requirement of section 409A of the Code as set forth in the Plan ceases to be required under section 409A of the Code, that Plan provision shall cease to apply. 
 (g) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a
fiduciary relationship between the Partnership, the Company or any participating Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. 
 (h)
No Fractional Units. No fractional Units shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any
fractional Units or whether such fractional Units or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated. 
 (i)
Headings. Headings are given to the sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or
any provision thereof. 
 (j) Facility Payment. Any amounts payable hereunder to any Person under legal disability or who, in the
judgment of the Committee, is unable to properly manage his financial affairs, may be paid to the legal representative of such Person, or may be applied for the benefit of such Person in any manner which the Committee may select, and the Company
shall be relieved of any further liability for payment of such amounts. 
 SECTION 9: TERM OF THE PLAN. 
 The Plan shall be effective on the date of its approval by the Unit holders and shall continue until the date terminated by the Board or Units are no longer available for
the grant of Awards under the Plan, whichever occurs first. However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award agreement, any Award granted prior to such termination, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to
amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall extend beyond such termination date.
