SECTION 9.SEVERABILITY: If any provision of the Plan or any Award is, becomes, or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction 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 applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 10. 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 Company and a Participant. To the extent a Participant acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
SECTION 11. NONASSIGNABILITY: Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no Participant may sell, assign, transfer, discount, or pledge as collateral for a loan, or otherwise anticipate any right to payment under the Plan.
SECTION 12.

SECTION 13. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT: The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom a payment under an Award has been determined for a completed Performance Period but not yet paid, adversely affect the rights of such Participant in such Award.
SECTION 14. APPLICABLE LAW: This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.
SECTION 15. REPAYMENT OF AWARDS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN IMPROPER CONDUCT: The Company shall seek to recover any Award paid to any Participant as required by the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any other “clawback” provision required by law or the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or as may be adopted by Company from time to time.
