 Exhibit 10.1 
 Description of Awards under Executive Bonus Plan 
 In addition to base salary,
Markel Corporation (the “Company”) maintains an Executive Bonus Plan that has been approved by shareholders. The plan is designed so that payments will not be subject to the $1,000,000 deduction limit under Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code. Performance criteria under the Plan were submitted for re-approval at the 2010 annual meeting in accordance with Section 162(m) and can include, in addition to growth in book value, one or more of the following:
underwriting loss ratio; underwriting combined ratio; expense ratio; and revenue growth. 
 The plan is administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee has the power and complete discretion to select eligible employees to receive awards and to determine the type of award and its terms and conditions. All present and future executive officers of the
Company whom the Committee determines to have contributed or who can be expected to contribute significantly to the Company are eligible to receive awards under the plan. Alan I. Kirshner, Anthony F. Markel, Steven A. Markel, Thomas S. Gayner,
Richard R. Whitt, III, Gerard Albanese, Jr., Britton L. Glisson, F. Michael Crowley, Anne G. Waleski and John Latham are executive officers eligible for awards under the plan for 2011. 
 Awards are subject to the achievement of pre-established performance goals and are administered to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m). Performance goals for 2011 relate to growth in book
value and, in the case of Messrs. Albanese and Latham, also include underwriting combined ratio and revenue growth. In the case of Ms. Waleski, 50% of her potential incentive compensation is based on the achievement of personal performance
goals outside the plan as she completes her transition into the role of Chief Financial Officer. 
 The Committee sets the
amounts payable under each performance award. The employee receives the appropriate payment at the end of the performance period if the performance goals and other terms and conditions of the award are met. Awards are payable in cash. The aggregate
maximum cash amount payable under the plan to any employee in any year cannot exceed the lesser of 250% of base salary or $2,500,000. Any performance award must be made before the 90th day of the period for which the performance award relates and before the completion of 25% of such period. 

The Board can amend or terminate the plan at any time, except that only shareholders can approve amendments that would (i) materially change or
impact which employees are eligible to participate or (ii) materially change the benefits that eligible employees may receive under the plan. However, the Board can amend the plan as necessary and without shareholder approval to ensure that the
plan continues to comply with Section 162(m). 
 Growth in book value targets are similar to prior years. Underwriting-based targets are
based on a grid measuring underwriting performance and revenue growth for the business operations for which the executive officer has direct responsibility, modified by the overall corporate combined ratio.2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended

of the Committee. 
 Within the limits of the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, subject to such orders or
resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may from time to time be issued or adopted by the Board of Directors, in its discretion to determine the individuals to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards shall be granted,

 5. Eligibility. 
 Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time, those Employees who will be granted one or more Awards under the Plan, and who thereby will become
“Participants” in the Plan. 
  

	 	(A)	In determining eligibility to receive an Award, as well as in determining the type and amount of the Award to any Participant, the Committee shall consider the position
and responsibilities of the Employee being considered, the nature and value to the Company or a Subsidiary of such Employee’s services and accomplishments, such Employee’s present and potential contribution to the success of the Company or
its Subsidiaries and such other factors as the Committee may deem relevant. 

  

	 	(B)	The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or for provision of other services, and selection as a Participant will not give any Participant or other
individual the right to be retained in the employ of or continue to provide services to the Company or any Subsidiary or give any Participant or other individual any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has
specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan, nor shall the Plan in any way interfere with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or services of any Participant or other individual at any time.

  

	 	(C)	Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of participation in the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company
or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the Plan. A Participant shall
have only a contractual right to the Common Stock or amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or
any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person. 

  

	 	(D)	Awards need not be uniform among Participants. The receipt of an Award by a Participant shall not entitle that Participant to receive an Award in the future.

 6. Shares Available. 
 The type and number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with this Section 6: 

 

	 	(A)	 The shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares authorized but unissued or currently held or shares

  
 9 

	 	 
reacquired by the Company and held as treasury shares, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions, all at the time of the Award. 

 

	 	(B)	Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 herein, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance to Participants under the Plan (the
“Share Authorization”) shall be the 12,975,150 authorized shares of Common Stock not issued or subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans as of the Effective Date and (b) any shares of Common Stock subject to the 8,864,265
outstanding awards as of the Effective Date under the Prior Plans that on or after the Effective Date cease for any reason to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they are exercised
for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares), up to an aggregate maximum of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock. 

  

	 	(C)	Subject to Section 13, the following additional maximums are imposed under the Plan: 

 

	 	(1)	The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued by Options intended to be Incentive Options shall be one million (1,000,000) shares.

  

	 	(2)	The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued by Options that are not intended to be Incentive Options shall be, in the aggregate, fifty percent
(50%) of the total shares reserved for Awards pursuant to paragraph (B) above. 

  

	 	(3)	The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued in conjunction with Awards granted pursuant to Section 9 (relating to Other Stock Awards) and
Section 10 (relating to Performance Shares) shall be, in the aggregate, fifty percent (50%) of the total shares reserved for Awards pursuant to paragraph (B) above. 

 

	 	(4)	The maximum number of shares that may be covered by Awards granted to any one individual pursuant to this Plan shall be one million (1,000,000) shares during any
36 month period. 

  

	 	(5)	 For Cash Awards that are intended to be “performance-based compensation” (within the meaning of regulations under Code section 162(m)), the
maximum Awards payable in cash to any one individual for a 36-month performance period shall not exceed ten million dollars ($10,000,000). Such maximum shall be reduced proportionately in the case of a performance period of less than 36 months and
shall be increased proportionately for a performance period of longer than 36 months (but no further adjustment shall be made in the case of a performance period of greater than 60 months). If, after an amount has been earned with respect

  
 10 

	 	 
to a Cash Award, the delivery of such amount is deferred pursuant to Section 7(B), any additional amount attributable to earnings during the deferral period shall be disregarded for purposes
of this limitation. 

  

	 	(D)	Shares of Common Stock covered by an Award shall only be counted as used to the extent they are actually issued and delivered to a Participant, or, if permitted by the
Committee, a Participant’s designated transferee. Any shares of Common Stock related to Awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the issuance, are settled in cash in lieu of shares, or are exchanged
with the Committee’s permission, prior to the issuance of the Common Stock, for Awards not involving shares of Common Stock, shall be available again for grant under the Plan. Moreover, if the Exercise Price of any Option granted under the Plan
or the tax withholding requirements with respect to any Award granted under the Plan are satisfied by tendering shares of Common Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), or if an SAR is exercised, only the number of shares
of Common Stock issued, net of the shares tendered, if any, will be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock
available for issuance under the Plan shall not be reduced to reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested into additional shares or credited as additional Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, or Other
Stock-Based Awards. 

 7. Awards. 
 The Committee shall have full and complete authority, in its discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to grant Awards to Participants consisting of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted
Stock, Stock Units, Performance Shares, Cash Awards or any combination thereof, as more fully described in Sections 8 through 10, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. Awards may be granted singly, in combination
or in tandem so that the settlement or payment of one automatically reduces or cancels the other. Awards may also be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the payment form for, grants or rights under any
other compensation plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, including the plan of any acquired entity. The Committee may permit or require that any Award be prorated to the date of any termination of employment. 

 

	 	(A)	Dividends and Dividend Equivalents 

 The Committee may provide that Awards denominated in Common Stock earn dividends or dividend equivalents. Such dividend equivalents may be paid currently in cash or shares of Common Stock or may be
credited to an account established by the Committee under the Plan in the name of the Participant. In addition, dividends or dividend equivalents paid on outstanding awards or issued shares may be credited to such account rather than paid currently.
Any crediting 

  
 11 

 
of dividends or dividend equivalents may be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee may establish, including reinvestment in additional shares or share equivalents.

  

	 	(B)	Deferrals 

 The Committee
may require or permit participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares or the settlement of awards in cash under such rules and procedures as it may establish under the Plan. It may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment or
crediting of interest on the deferral amounts, conversion of deferred amounts into deferred Common Stock equivalents, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents on deferred settlements denominated in shares. 

 

	 	(C)	Settlements 

 Settlement
of Awards may be in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other Awards, or in such combinations thereof as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant, and with such restrictions as it may impose. 

8. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. 
 The Committee may grant Options containing such terms and conditions as shall be requisite, in the judgment of the Committee, to constitute either Incentive Options or Non-Statutory Options. Non-Statutory
Options shall be identified as such in the Award Grant. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights either (i) independently of Options or (ii) in tandem with Options such that the exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right
with respect to a share of Common Stock cancels the tandem Stock Appreciation Right or Option, respectively, with respect to such share. The grant of each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be confirmed in writing by an Award Grant in the form
prescribed by the Committee. 
  

	 	(A)	Exercise Price. 

 At the
time an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is granted, the Committee shall determine the Exercise Price. Except for adjustments as provided in Section 13, the Exercise Price for any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right may not be
decreased after the date of grant nor may any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower Exercise Price. 

 

	 	(B)	Exercise Period. 

 Each
Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall be exercisable during such period and under such circumstances as the Committee shall determine, subject to the following rules: 

  
 12 

	 	(1)	An Option or Stock Appreciation Right must be exercised prior to the Expiration Date. 

 

	 	(2)	Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall become exercisable upon the occurance of a Change in Control unless it is replaced by an award of equivalent value
provided by the continuing entity, which replacement award vests not later than the outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right and, to the extent not previously vested, vests in full in the event the Participant’s employment is
involuntarily terminated, other than for Cause, within eighteen months following the Change in Control whether or not otherwise then exercisable under the provisions of the applicable Award Grant relating thereto. 

 

	 	(3)	The effect of a Participant’s cessation of performance of services as an Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary shall be as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	Retirement. If cessation of performance of services as an Employee is the result of Retirement, the Participant may exercise any outstanding Option or Stock
Appreciation Right that had become exercisable under the terms of the applicable Award Grant prior to the Date of Termination before the Expiration Date. 

  

	 	(ii)	Death. If a Participant dies while the Participant is continuing to perform services as an Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary or during the period
following Retirement and before the Expiration Date, the Successor may exercise the Participant’s Options or Stock Appreciation Rights at any time prior to the Expiration Date, whether or not such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights were
exercisable on the date of the Participant’s death under the applicable Award Grant. 

  

	 	(iii)	Disability. If the Committee determines that a Participant ceased to perform services as an Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary because of Disability, any
Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant on the Date of Termination may be exercised (whether or not such Option or Stock Appreciation Right was exercisable on the Date of Termination under the provisions of the Award Grant
relating thereto) at any time prior to the Expiration Date. 

  

	 	(iv)	 Involuntary Termination without Cause. If the Participant ceases to perform services as an Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary
involuntarily without Cause, the Participant may exercise any 

  
 13 

	 	 
outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right which was vested on the Date of Termination at any time before the Expiration Date. 

 

	 	(v)	Involuntary Termination for Cause. If the Participant ceases to perform services as an Employee for the Company or a Subsidiary involuntarily for Cause, any
outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant shall be immediately cancelled. 

  

	 	(vi)	Other Termination. If the Participant ceases to perform services for the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason other than as set forth in subparagraphs
(i) through (v) above, any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant shall be immediately cancelled. 

  

	 	(C)	Exercise Procedures. 

Each Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan may be exercised to the extent exercisable, in whole or in part at any
time during the Exercise Period, for such number of shares as shall be prescribed by the provisions of the Award Grant evidencing such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, provided that: 

 

	 	(1)	An Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by the Participant or a Successor only by written notice (in the form prescribed by the Committee) to the Company
specifying the number of shares to which such notice applies. 

  

	 	(2)	The aggregate Exercise Price of the shares as to which an Option may be exercised shall be, in the discretion of the Committee, (a) paid in U.S. funds by any one
or any combination of the following: cash, (including check, draft or wire transfer made payable to the order of the Company), or delivery of Common Stock certificates endorsed in blank or accompanied by executed stock powers with signatures
guaranteed by a national bank or trust company or a member of a national securities exchange evidencing shares of Common Stock which have been held for more than six months, whose value shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise of such Common Stock, or (b) deemed to be paid in full provided the notice of the exercise of an Option is accompanied by a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan
proceeds sufficient to cover the Exercise Price or (c) paid upon such terms and conditions, including provision for securing the payment of the same, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall provide. 

  
 14 

	 	(3)	As soon as practicable after receipt by the Company of notice of exercise and of payment in full of the Exercise Price of the shares with respect to which an Option has
been exercised, a certificate or certificates representing such shares shall be registered in the name or names of the Participant or Successor and shall be delivered to the Participant, Participant’s agent or Successor. If any part of the
Exercise Price is paid on a deferred basis (to the extent such deferral is permitted by the Committee), the shares for which payment has been deferred shall be registered in the name of the Participant or Successor but the certificate or
certificates representing such shares shall not be delivered to the Participant or Successor until the Exercise Price for such shares has been paid in full. 

 

	 	(D)	Special Rules Relating to Incentive Options. 

  

	 	(1)	No Incentive Option may be granted to an individual who is not an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary. 

 

	 	(2)	The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Options are exercisable for the
first time during any calendar year by an Employee under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not exceed the greater of $100,000 or such sum as may from time to time be permitted under Code section 422. 

9. Other Stock Awards. 
 The
Committee may make Awards consisting of Restricted Stock or Stock Units containing such terms and conditions, and subject to such restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan. Unless
otherwise authorized by the Committee, as a condition of receiving an Award consisting of Restricted Stock, a Participant must waive in writing the right to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to report the value of the Restricted
Stock as income on the Date of Grant. If the right to become vested in a Restricted Stock Award granted under this Section 9 is conditioned on the completion of a specified period of service as an Employee with the Company or the Subsidiaries,
without achievement of Performance Measures or other performance objectives being required as a condition of vesting, and without it being granted in lieu of other compensation or to replace forfeited awards from a prior service recipient, then,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in a Participant’s Award Grant, the required period of service for full vesting shall be not less than three years, subject to acceleration of vesting in the following circumstances:

 (A) to the extent permitted by the Committee, in the event of the Participant’s Retirement, death, Disability, or
termination by the Company without Cause; 

  
 15 

 (B) in the event of a Change in Control, unless such Award is replaced by an award of
equivalent value provided by the continuing entity which replacement award vests not later than the replaced Award and, to the extent not previously vested, vests in full in the event of any involuntary cessation of performance of services for the
continuing entity within 18 months following the Change in Control (other than involuntary termination for Cause). 
 10. Performance
Awards. 
 The Committee may make Awards consisting of Performance Shares, containing such terms and conditions, and subject to such
restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan. Performance Awards shall be conditioned on the achievement of Performance Goals, based on one or more Performance Measures, as determined by the
Committee, over a performance period (not less than one year) prescribed by the Committee. For Awards under this Section 10 intended to be “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of regulations under Code section 162(m),
the grant of the Awards and the performance goals shall be made during the period required under Code section 162(m). In the event that a Change in Control occurs after a Performance Award has been granted but before completion of the performance
period, a pro rata portion of such Award shall become payable as of the date of the Change in Control to the extent otherwise earned on the basis of achievement of the pro rata portion of the Performance Goals relating to the portion of the
performance period completed as of the date of the Change in Control. Unless otherwise directed by the Committee, as a condition of receiving an Award consisting of Performance Shares, a Participant must waive in writing the right to make an
election under Section 83(b) of the Code to report the value of the Performance Shares as income on the Date of Grant. 
 11.
Non-Transferability. 
 Unless otherwise designated by the Committee to the contrary, each Award granted under the Plan shall by its
terms be non-transferable by the Participant (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution). An Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant, his or her guardian or
legal representative or by such other means as the Committee may approve from time to time that is not inconsistent with or contrary to the provisions of either Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or Rule 16b-3, as either may be amended from time
to time, or any law, rule, regulation or other provision that may hereafter replace such Rule. A Participant may also designate a beneficiary to exercise his or her Awards after the Participant’s death. The Committee may amend outstanding
Awards to provide for transfer, without payment of consideration, to immediate family members of the Participant or to trusts or partnerships for such family members. 
 12. Listing and Registration of Shares and Restrictions on Shares. 
 If at any time
the Board of Directors shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of any of the shares subject to Awards under the Plan upon any securities 

  
 16 

 
exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the purchase or issue
of shares thereunder, no outstanding Awards which would result in the purchase or issuance of shares may be exercised or otherwise settled unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained
free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board of Directors or the Committee. The Board of Directors or the Committee may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in
connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with applicable law and shall have the authority to cause the Company at its expense to take any action related to the Plan which may be required in connection with such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval. 
 The Committee may impose such restrictions on any shares acquired pursuant to Restricted
Stock Awards as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions to comply with applicable Federal securities laws, with the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such shares are then listed and/or traded and with
any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such shares. 
 Certificates representing shares subject to Restricted Stock Awards may bear
a legend substantially as follows: 
 “The sale or other transfer of the shares of stock represented by this certificate,
whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, and in an award document. A copy of such Plan and
award documents may be obtained from Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated.” 
 The Company shall have the right to retain
certificates of shares that are subject to Restricted Stock Awards until such time as all restrictions applicable to such shares have been satisfied. Shares subject to Restricted Stock Awards shall become freely transferrable (subject to applicable
laws and Company imposed trading restrictions), and legends on share certificates shall be removed, once all restrictions applicable to such shares have been satisfied. 
 The Committee may require Participants to execute stock powers or other similar instruments in order to facilitate the return to the Company of shares upon forfeiture of Restricted Stock Awards.

 13. Adjustments. 
 The
Committee may make such adjustments as it deems appropriate to meet the intent of the Plan in the event of changes that impact the Company’s share price or share status, provided that any such actions are consistently and equitably applicable
to all affected Participants and provided, further, that no such adjustment shall be made to Awards to Covered Employees if it would cause 

  
 17 

 
such Awards to no longer qualify as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Code section 162(m). 
 In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to
shareholders, or any other change affecting shares, such adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such change shall be made with respect to (i) the aggregate number of shares that may be issued
under the Plan or that may be subject to Awards of a specified type and/or to any individual; (ii) the number of shares covered by outstanding Awards to any individual under the Plan; and/or (iii) the applicable price per share with
respect to any outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other Awards under the Plan. 
 14. Tax Withholding. 

Delivery of any cash, shares, dividends or any other benefits under the Plan is subject to withholding of applicable taxes. The Committee unilaterally or
by arrangement with the Participant or Successor shall make appropriate provision for satisfaction of withholding taxes in the case of any transaction under the Plan, which gives rise to a withholding requirement. The Committee, in its discretion,
and subject to such requirements as the Committee may impose prior to the occurrence of such withholding, may permit such withholding obligations to be satisfied through cash payment by the Participant, through the surrender of shares of Common
Stock which the Participant already owns and which have been held for more than six months, or (to the extent of minimum statutory withholding requirements) through withholding of shares of Common Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled
under the Plan. 
 15. Amendments and Termination. 
 The Board of Directors may amend this Plan as it shall deem advisable, except that the Board of Directors may not, without further approval of the shareholders of the Company, (a) increase the total
number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan as set forth in Section 6(B) or the maximum number of shares that may be issued, as Awards pursuant to Sections 8 through 10, to any individual, or (b) change the class of
individuals eligible for Awards. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, terminate this Plan at any time. No amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the amendment or termination by the affected Participant (or, if
the Participant is not then living, the affected Successor), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or Successor under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment or termination is effective, provided that adjustments
pursuant to Section 13 are not subject to such limitation. Subject to the foregoing and the requirements of Code section 162(m), the Board of Directors may without further action on the part of the shareholders of the Company or the consent of
Participants, amend the Plan to preserve the Company’s tax deduction under Code section 162(m). 

  
 18 

 16. Foreign Jurisdictions. 
 The Committee may, from time to time, adopt, amend, and terminate under the Plan such arrangements, not inconsistent with the intent of the Plan, as it may deem necessary or desirable, to make available
tax or other benefits of laws of any foreign jurisdiction to Participants who are subject to such laws and who receive Awards under the Plan. 

17. Compliance with Code section 162(m). 
 With respect to Covered Employees, transactions under the Plan are intended to avoid loss of the deduction referred to in paragraph (1) of Code section 162(m). Anything in the Plan or elsewhere to
the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee would result in the loss of such deduction, it shall be deemed null and void as relates to Covered Employees, to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable by the Committee. 
 18. Notices. 
 All notices under the Plan shall be in writing, and if to the Company, shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company or mailed to its principal office, 80 Park Plaza, Newark, New Jersey 07102,
addressed to the attention of the Secretary; and if to the Participant, shall be delivered personally or mailed to the Participant at the address appearing in the payroll records of the Company or Subsidiary or, if applicable, to the
Participant’s Successor at the last known address appearing in the records of the Company. Such addresses may be changed at any time by written notice to the other party. 
 19. General. 
 Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term
used herein shall also include the feminine; the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. 
 The titles and
headings of the sections of the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 
 If any part of the Plan is declared to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any other part of the Plan. Any part of the Plan so declared to be unlawful or invalid
shall, if possible, be construed in a manner that will give effect to the terms of such part to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid. 
 The provisions of the Plan shall take precedence over any conflicting provision contained in an Award. All matters relating to the Plan or an Award granted hereunder shall, to the extent not

  
 19 

 
preempted by Federal law, be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. 

The Plan and Award Grants shall be binding on Successors and on successors to the Company, whether the existence of such successor to the Company is the
result of a direct or indirect purchase of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, or a merger, consolidation, or otherwise.
