 EXHIBIT 10.1 
  
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) made this first day of July 2005, between NVR, INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”) and DWIGHT C.
SCHAR, (the “Executive”). References within this Agreement to the Company refer to NVR and its subsidiaries and affiliates. 
  
 WHEREAS, the parties wish to terminate all prior employment agreements and amendments thereto; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the parties wish to establish the terms of the Executive’s future employment with the Company. 
  
 ACCORDINGLY, the parties agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Employment, Duties and Acceptance. 

  

	 	1.1	 Employment by the Company. The Company hereby employs the Executive, for itself and its affiliates, to render exclusive and full-time services to the
Company. The Executive will serve in the capacity of Chairman of the Board. The Executive will perform such duties as are imposed on the holder of that office by the By-laws of the Company and such other duties as are customarily performed by one
holding such position in the same or similar businesses or enterprises as those of the Company. The Executive will perform such other related duties as may be assigned to him from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Executive
will devote his entire full working time and attention to the performance of such duties and to the promotion of the business and interests of the Company. This provision, however, will not prevent the Executive from investing his funds or assets in
any form or manner, or from acting as a member 

 
of the Board of Directors of any companies, businesses, or charitable organizations, so long as such investments or companies do not compete with the
Company, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1. 
  

	 	1.2	Acceptance of Employment by the Executive. The Executive accepts such employment and shall render the services described above. 

  

	 	1.3	Place of Employment. The Executive’s principal place of employment shall be the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, subject to such reasonable travel as the rendering of
services associated with such position may require. 

  

	 	1.4	Acknowledgement. By signing this Agreement, the Executive acknowledges that he has received copies of the Company’s current Code of Ethics and Standards of Business
Conduct (collectively, the “Code”), has read and understood the Code’s content, and agrees to comply with the Code in all respects. 

  

	2.	Duration of Employment. 

  
 This Agreement and the employment relationship hereunder will continue in effect for five and one half (5 1/2) years from July 1, 2005 through January 1,
2011. It may be extended beyond January 1, 2011 by mutual, written agreement at any time. In the event of the Executive’s termination of employment during the term of this Agreement, the Company will be obligated to pay all base salary, bonus
and other benefits then accrued, as well as cash reimbursement for all accrued but unused vacation, plus, if applicable, the additional payments provided for in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.5 and 6.7 of this Agreement. 
  

	3.	Compensation. 

  

	 	3.1	 Base Salary. As compensation for all services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will pay to the Executive an annual base salary of TWO MILLION
DOLLARS ($2,000,000) payable in equal monthly installments of 

 
ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-SIX THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIX DOLLARS AND SIXTY SIX CENTS ($166,666.66). The Company’s Board of Directors in its sole
discretion may increase, but may not reduce, the Executive’s annual base salary. 
  

	 	3.2	Bonuses. The Executive shall be eligible to be paid a bonus annually in cash pursuant to the Company’s annual incentive plan, as determined by the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors, in a maximum amount of 100% of the Executive’s annual base salary. This bonus shall be paid at the same time (or times) and in the same manner as other senior executives of the Company. Entitlement to the bonus is
dependent on the Executive meeting certain goals, which shall be established annually by the Company. 

  

	 	3.3	Participation in Employee Benefit Plans. The Executive shall be permitted during the term of this Agreement, if and to the extent eligible to participate in any group life,
hospitalization or disability insurance plan, health program, pension plan, Employee Stock Ownership Plan or similar benefit plan of the Company, which may be available to other comparable executives of the Company generally, on the same terms as
such other executives. The Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation and all customary holidays each year during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the Company’s policies. 

  

	 	3.4	Expenses. Subject to such policies as may from time to time be established by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all
reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s services under this Agreement upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such other supporting information as it may require.

  

	 	3.5	Stock Holding Requirement. The Executive is required to continuously hold at all times NVR, Inc. common stock with a value equal to eight (8) times the Executive’s base
salary as then in effect, subject to adjustment at any time by the Company’s Board of Directors upon thirty days notice. 

	4.	Management Long-Term Stock Option Plans. 

  
 The Executive is a participant in the 1998 NVR, Inc. Management Long-Term Stock Option Plan, the 2000 Broadly Based Stock Option Plan and the 2005
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. The Executive has entered into separate agreements governing the terms of his participation in the Plans. 
  

	5.	Deferred Compensation Plan. 

  
 The Executive has certain amounts fully earned under previous annual and long-term incentive plans deferred within the Company’s Deferred
Compensation Plan. The amounts deferred are held in a fixed number of shares of NVR, Inc. common stock within a Rabbi Trust, and will be distributed to the Executive upon separation of service from the Company. All amounts held for the Executive by
the Rabbi Trust pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan are fully vested and not subject to forfeiture for any reason, regardless of the reason for termination. 
  

	6.	Termination, Disability or Retirement. 

  

	 	6.1	Termination Upon Death. If the Executive dies during the term hereof, this Agreement shall terminate, except that the Executive’s legal representatives shall be entitled
to receive the Executive’s base salary and accrued Bonus for the period ending on the last day of the second calendar month following the month in which the Executive’s death occurred. Accrued Bonus shall be calculated as one hundred
percent of Base Salary multiplied by the fraction (x) of the number of days in the calendar year up to last day of the second calendar month following the month in which Executive died divided by (y) 365 days. 

	 	6.2	Disability. If during the term hereof the Executive becomes physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, so that the Executive is, in the discretion of the
Company’s Board of Directors, substantially unable to perform his services hereunder, the Executive shall transfer from active to disability status. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to in any way affect the Executive’s right to
participate in any disability plan maintained by the Company and for which the Executive is otherwise eligible. If the Executive transfers to disability status he would be entitled to receive the Executive’s Base Salary and accrued Bonus for
the period ending on the last day of the second calendar month following the month in which the Executive is transferred to disability status. Accrued Bonus shall be calculated as one hundred percent of Base Salary multiplied by the fraction (x) of
the number of days in the calendar year up to last day of the second calendar month following the month in which the Executive was transferred to disability status divided by (y) 365 days. 

  

	 	6.3	Retirement. If the Executive elects to terminate employment upon meeting the established criteria for Retirement prior to the term of this agreement, the Executive will be
entitled to receive the Executive’s Base Salary for the period ending on the last day worked. The payment of any Bonus amounts due to the Executive shall be payable, in the same form and at the same time that all other employees receive their
bonus payment. Bonus shall be calculated as one hundred percent of Base Salary multiplied by the fraction (x) of the number of days in the calendar year up to last day worked by the Executive divided by (y) 365 days. In addition, the Executive
shall be entitled to payment of ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) of his then annual Base Salary, paid in twelve equal monthly installments beginning on the fifteenth day of the first month following the date of Retirement. Retirement means voluntary
termination of employment after attainment of age 65. However, the Board of Directors within its discretion may determine that the executive who terminates employment prior to age 65 has terminated by virtue of Retirement. 

	 	6.4	Termination for Cause. If the Executive is convicted of any felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, or any crime or offense which results in his incarceration for
more than three months, is guilty of gross misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties as described in Section 1.1 hereunder, or materially, breaches affirmative or negative covenants or undertakings set forth in Section 7, the
Company at any time by written notice to the Executive, may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder. Any such termination shall be for Cause. 

  

	 	6.5	Termination Without Cause. In the event the Company on sixty (60) days’ notice terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause (as such term is defined in
Section 6.4) during the term of this Agreement, then as full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to the Executive, the Executive shall be entitled to payment of TWO HUNDRED PERCENT (200%) of his then annual base salary, paid in twelve
equal monthly installments beginning on the fifteenth day of the first month following the date of termination. The Executive shall also be provided with outplacement services with a firm jointly selected by the Executive and the Company at a cost
not to exceed SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($60,000). 

  

	 	6.6	Voluntary Termination. The Executive may on ninety (90) days’ notice terminate his employment hereunder. In such event, he shall not be entitled to any severance pay
except in the circumstances described in Section 6.7 below. 

  

	 	6.7	 Voluntary Termination-Change of Control. In the event the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment hereunder in connection with or within one (1) year
after a Change of Control of the Company (as defined below), the Executive shall receive a payment of TWO HUNDRED PERCENT (200%) of his then annual 

 
base salary, as well as his accrued pro-rata bonus (on the assumption that the maximum annual bonus would have been paid pursuant to Section 3.2) through the
date of termination. Payment of such amount shall be in twelve equal monthly installments beginning on the first day of the first month following the date of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means (i) any
transaction or series of transactions (including, without limitation, a tender offer, merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 (d) and 14 (d) (2) of the
Exchange Act), becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 20 percent of the total aggregate voting power of all classes of the voting stock of the Company and/or warrants or options to
acquire such voting stock, calculated on a fully diluted basis, or (ii) if all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold or otherwise transferred to any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, association, joint venture, pool,
syndicate or similar organization or group acting in concert or (iii) the Company is liquidated or dissolved or adopts a plan of liquidation or (iv) a merger, consolidation or other reorganization or business combination with any party including a
leveraged buy-out or a going private transaction and where there has been a significant reduction in Executive’s responsibilities. 
  

	 	6.8	Voluntary Termination-Change in Senior Management Accompanied by Change in Business Philosophy. If the Company elects a new Chairman and/or Chief Executive Officer (the
“New Officer”) and provided that the New Officer enacts major changes in the Company’s business philosophy, mission or business strategies, the Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment. To provide sufficient time for a
transfer of the Executive’s responsibilities and duties, he shall be required to provide ninety (90) days notice prior to such voluntary termination and the Company shall have the option of extending the notice an additional thirty (30) days.
In the event the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment in connection with or within one year after the election of a New Officer accompanied by any of the changes described in this Section 6.8, he shall not be entitled to any severance pay
and shall not be bound by the “Covenant Not to Compete” described in Section 7. 

	 	6.9	Effectiveness. In the event any of the events described in this Section 6 should occur during the term of this Agreement, and result in payments to the Executive which would
in their normal course continue beyond the term of this Agreement, such payments shall be made at such times and in such amounts as if the term of this Agreement had not expired. 

  

	7.	Covenant Not to Compete. 

  
 The covenant set forth in Section 7.1 shall be applicable during the employment term and for a period of two (2) years after termination in the event the
Executive is terminated pursuant to Section 6.3 “Retirement”, Section 6.4 for “Cause”, Section 6.5 “Without Cause” or to Section 6.6 “Voluntary”. 
  
 In the event that the Executive terminates pursuant to Section 6.7 “Voluntary Termination – Change of
Control” or Section 6.8 “Voluntary Termination-Change in Senior Management Accompanied by Change in Business Philosophy”, the non-competition provisions of Section 7 become void. All other provisions in Section 7 remain in full force
and effect. 
  

	 	7.1	 Scope. During the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, and for the applicable period thereafter, Executive hereby covenants and agrees
that neither he nor any affiliate (as defined hereinbelow), at any time, directly or indirectly, will (i) engage, whether as an employee or otherwise, in the Homebuilding, Mortgage Financing or Settlement Services Businesses (as defined hereinbelow)
on behalf of himself or any other person or entity, whether conducted individually or through an affiliate; (ii) own, acquire an interest in, manage, operate, join or control, or participate in the ownership, acquisition, 

 
management, operation or control of, or be a director, agent, representative, shareholder of more than 1% of the outstanding stock, partner, employee,
officer, or consultant of, any enterprise of any kind that is engaged in the Homebuilding Business or Mortgage Financing Business (“Competing Business”); investments made by the Executive in private equity or hedge funds/vehicles for which
the Executive does not hold a controlling financial or management interest is not considered a Competing Business; (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer or potential customer of the Company to discontinue, in whole or in part, business, or
not to do business, with the Company, (iv) hire or attempt to hire any person now or hereafter employed by the Company, or (v) utilize the services of or attempt to acquire real property, goods or services from any developer or sub-contractor now or
hereafter utilized by the Company. 
  

	 	7.2	Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term “affiliate” shall mean Executive, Executive’s spouse, and any minor children (“immediate
family”) and any entity that Executive and/or any members of his immediate family control, either directly or indirectly; (ii) “control” for purposes of the immediately preceding clause shall mean possession, directly or indirectly,
of power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies (whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise); and (iii) the term “Homebuilding Business” shall mean the business of designing and
constructing single family homes, the “Mortgage Financing Business” shall mean the origination, underwriting, placement or sale of residential home mortgages (new home construction only), and the “Settlement Services Business”

of Commerce, United States Government) in which is located any office of the Company. 

	 	7.3	Reasonableness. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the business and interests of the
Company, and that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages that would accrue to the Company by reason of the Executive’s failure to perform his obligations under this Section 7. Therefore, the Executive hereby agrees that in
addition to any other remedies that the Company may have at law or at equity with respect to this Section 7, the Company shall have the right to have all obligations, undertakings, agreements, and covenants set forth herein specifically performed,
and that the Company shall have the right to obtain an order of such specific performance (including preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of any provision of this Section 7) in any court of the
United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, without the necessity of proving actual damage; provided that the Company is not in breach of any of its obligations hereunder. 

  

	 	7.4	No Waiver. No waiver by the Company of a breach of, or of a default under, any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor their failure on one or more occasions, to enforce any
of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall thereafter be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of a similar nature, or as to the waiver of any such provision, rights, or privileges
hereunder. 

  

	 	7.5	 Blue-Pencilling. If any part of any provision of this Section 7 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such part shall be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability only, without in any way affecting the remaining terms of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Section 7. The Executive hereby covenants and agrees that to the extent any
provision or portion of this Agreement shall be held, found, or deemed to be unreasonable, unlawful, or unenforceable, then any necessary modifications shall be made (but only to such extent) so that such provision or portion hereof shall be legally
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The 

 
Executive further agrees and authorizes any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any such provision or portion hereof in order that such provision or
portion hereof shall be enforced by such court to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 
  

	 	7.6	Confidentiality. During the term of the Executive’s employment with the Company, he will acquire information of a proprietary or confidential nature and knowledge about
the operations of the Company. Accordingly, the Executive agrees not to use or to disclose to any third party, or cause to be used, in any manner, directly or indirectly, the information described immediately above during the term of the
Executive’s employment and for three years following his termination date. The Executive further agrees to return to the Company promptly upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, and all information of a
proprietary or confidential nature acquired by the Executive at any time during the course of his employment with the Company, to the extent such information has been reduced to writing or electronic media, together with any and all documents and
materials of any kind then in the possession or control of the Executive which may be the property of the Company or any affiliate, whether confidential or otherwise, including any copies in any format or media which may have been made by or for the
Executive. 

  

	 	7.7	No Conflict. The Covenant Not to Compete set forth in this Section 7 shall supersede and override any and all limitations on Executive’s right to compete with the
Company including, without limitation, any similar covenants not to compete in the Stock Option Agreements executed in conjunction with the 1998 NVR, Inc. Management Long-Term Stock Option Plans, 2000 Broadly Based Stock Option Plan and the 2005
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and shall be the sole standard by which Executive shall be bound. 

	8.	Other Provisions. 

  

	 	8.1	Notices. Any notice or other communication required or which may be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, telegraphed, telexed, sent by

thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

liable to the Executive for all obligations set forth herein.

instrument.

cost of court settlement arising or alleged to arise from his employment by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

	9.	Arbitration. 

  
 Any controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules then pertaining
of the American Arbitration Association. Such controversies shall be submitted to three arbitrators, one arbitrator being selected by the Company, one arbitrator being selected by the Executive, and the third being selected by the two so selected by
the Company and the Executive or, if they cannot agree upon a third, by the American Arbitration Association. In the event that either the Company or the Executive, within one month after any notification of any demand for arbitration hereunder,
shall not have selected its arbitrator and given notice thereof by registered or certified mail to the other, such arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. Confirmation of any award in any such arbitration may be held in
any court having jurisdiction of the person against whom such award is rendered. Regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the need for arbitration, until such arbitration shall be finally determined and ended, the base salary of the Executive
