 FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 

This First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 2, 2013 (this “First Supplemental Indenture”), among American
Campus Communities Operating Partnership, LP, a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), American Campus Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and U.S. Bank
National Association, as trustee (the Trustee”), supplements that certain Indenture, dated as of April 2, 2013, among the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor and the Trustee (the “Original Indenture”). 

RECITALS OF THE COMPANY 
 The Operating Partnership has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of its senior unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of
indebtedness (the “Securities”), unlimited as to principal amount and which will be guaranteed by the Guarantor, to bear such fixed or floating rates of interest, to mature at such time or times, to be issued in one or more series
and to have such other provisions as provided for in the Indenture; 
 The Indenture provides that the Securities shall be in
the form as may be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate or as may be established in one or more supplemental indentures thereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture; and 
 The parties are entering into this
First Supplemental Indenture to establish the terms of the Securities created on or after the date of this First Supplemental Indenture (together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”). 

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH: 
 For and in consideration of the premises stated herein, the parties hereto hereby enter into this First Supplemental Indenture, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities, as
follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS 
 Section 1.1 Certain Terms Defined in the
Indenture. 
 For purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture, as amended and supplemented hereby. 
 Section 1.2
Definitions. 
 For all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture: 

  
 1 








 “Acquired Indebtedness” means Indebtedness of a Person (1) existing at
the time such Person is merged or consolidated with or into, or becomes a Subsidiary of, the Operating Partnership, or (2) assumed by the Operating Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of assets from such
Person. Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to be Incurred on the date the acquired Person is merged or consolidated with or into, or becomes a Subsidiary of, the Operating Partnership or the date of the related acquisition, as the case may be.

 “Consolidated Financial Statements” means, with respect to any Person, collectively, the consolidated
financial statements and notes to those financial statements of that Person and its consolidated subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP. 
 “Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service” means, for any period of time, the Consolidated Net Income of the Operating Partnership for such period, plus amounts which have been
deducted and minus amounts which have been added for, without duplication: 
  

	 	(1)	Interest Expense on Indebtedness; 

  

	 	(2)	provision for taxes based on income; 

  

	 	(3)	depreciation, amortization and all other non-cash items deducted at arriving at Consolidated Net Income; 


 

	 	(4)	provision for gains and losses on sales or other dispositions of properties and other investments; 


 

	 	(5)	extraordinary items; 

  

	 	(6)	non-recurring items, as the Operating Partnership determined in good faith; and 


 

	 	(7)	noncontrolling interests. 

 In
each case for such period, the Operating Partnership will reasonably determine amounts in accordance with GAAP, except to the extent GAAP is not applicable with respect to the determination of non-cash and non-recurring items. 

“Consolidated Net Income” means, for any period of time, the amount of net income, or loss, for the Operating
Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period, excluding, without duplication, extraordinary items and the portion of net income, but not losses, for the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries allocable to
noncontrolling interests in unconsolidated Persons to the extent that cash dividends or distributions have not actually been received by the Operating Partnership or one of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, all determined in accordance with GAAP.

 “Consolidated Subsidiary” means each Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership that is consolidated in the
Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements. 
 “GAAP” means generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America as in effect on the date of any required calculation or determination. 

  
 2 








 “Incur” means, with respect to any Indebtedness or other obligation of any
Person, to create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect of the Indebtedness or other obligation, and “Incurrence” and “Incurred” have meanings correlative to the foregoing. Indebtedness or other
obligation of the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership will be deemed to be Incurred by the Operating Partnership or such Subsidiary whenever the Operating Partnership or such Subsidiary shall create, assume,
guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof. Indebtedness or other obligation of a Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership existing prior to the time it became a Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership will be deemed to be Incurred upon
such Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership; and Indebtedness or other obligation of a Person existing prior to a merger or consolidation of such Person with the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Operating
Partnership in which such Person is the successor to the Operating Partnership or such Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred upon the consummation of such merger or consolidation. Any issuance or transfer of capital stock that results in
Indebtedness constituting Intercompany Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or any Consolidated Subsidiary or any sale or other transfer of any Indebtedness constituting Intercompany Indebtedness to
a Person that is not the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or any Consolidated Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness that is not Intercompany Indebtedness at the time of such issuance, transfer or sale, as
the case may be. 
 “Indebtedness” of the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or any Consolidated Subsidiary
means, without duplication, any of the Operating Partnership’s indebtedness or that of the Guarantor or any Consolidated Subsidiary, whether or not contingent, in respect of: (a) borrowed money evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or
similar instruments whether or not such indebtedness is secured by any lien existing on property owned by the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or any Consolidated Subsidiary; (b) indebtedness for borrowed money of a Person other than the
Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or a Consolidated Subsidiary which is secured by any lien on property owned by the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or any Consolidated Subsidiary, to the extent of the lesser of (i) the amount of
indebtedness so secured, and (ii) the fair market value of the property subject to such lien; (c) the reimbursement obligations, contingent or otherwise, in connection with any letters of credit actually issued or amounts representing the
balance deferred and unpaid of the purchase price of any property or services, except any such balance that constitutes an accrued expense or trade payable; or (d) any lease of property by the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or any
Consolidated Subsidiary as lessee which is reflected on the Guarantor’s consolidated balance sheet as a capitalized lease in accordance with GAAP, to the extent, in the case of indebtedness under (a) through (c) above, that any such
items (other than letters of credit) would appear as a liability on the Guarantor’s consolidated balance sheet in accordance with GAAP. Indebtedness also includes, to the extent not otherwise included, any obligation by the Operating
Partnership, the Guarantor or any Consolidated Subsidiary to be liable for, or to pay, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise (other than for purposes of collection in the ordinary course of business), indebtedness of another Person (other than the
Operating Partnership, the Guarantor or any Consolidated Subsidiary) of the type described in clauses (a)-(d) of this definition. 

  
 3 








 “Intercompany Indebtedness” means Indebtedness to which the only parties
are any of the Operating Partnership, the Guarantor and any Consolidated Subsidiary; provided, however, that with respect to any such Indebtedness of which the Operating Partnership or the Guarantor is the borrower, such Indebtedness is subordinate
in right of payment to the Securities of any series issued under the Indenture. 
 “Interest Expense” means,
for any period of time, the maximum amount payable for interest on, and original issue discount of, the Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness, determined in accordance with GAAP. 

“Secured Debt” means, as of any date, that portion of principal amount of outstanding Indebtedness, excluding
Intercompany Indebtedness, of the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of that date that is secured by a mortgage, trust deed, deed of trust, deeds to secure Indebtedness, pledge, security interest, assignment for collateral
purposes, deposit arrangement, or other security agreement, excluding any right of setoff but including, without limitation, any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, any financing lease having substantially the same economic effect
as any of the foregoing, and any other like agreement granting or conveying a security interest. 
 “Total
Assets” means, as of any time, the sum of, without duplication, Undepreciated Real Estate Assets and all other assets, excluding accounts receivable and intangibles, of the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, all
determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 “Total Unencumbered Assets” means, as of any time, the sum of, without
duplication, those Undepreciated Real Estate Assets which are not subject to a lien securing Indebtedness and all other assets, excluding accounts receivable and intangibles, of the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries not subject
to a lien securing Indebtedness, all determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that all investments by the Operating Partnership or its Consolidated Subsidiaries in unconsolidated joint ventures, unconsolidated limited partnerships,
unconsolidated limited liability companies and other nonconsolidated entities shall be excluded from Total Unencumbered Assets to the extent that such investments would have otherwise been included. 

“Undepreciated Real Estate Assets” means, as of any time, the cost (original cost plus capital improvements) of the real
estate assets of the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries on such date, before depreciation and amortization, all determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 “Unsecured Debt” means that portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s and its Consolidated Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness, excluding Intercompany
Indebtedness, that is not Secured Debt.

Securities or filed with the Commission, as the case may be; and 

  

	 	(2)	the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent that such
proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Indebtedness), by the Operating Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of the relevant fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in
connection with the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness. 

 Section 2.2 Limitation on Secured
Debt. In addition to the limitation set forth in Section 2.1 above, the Operating Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Secured Debt, other than guarantees of Secured Debt Incurred by the Operating

 Section 2.4 Debt Service Test. In addition to the limitations set forth in
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above, the Operating Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness, other than Intercompany Indebtedness and guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by the Operating Partnership or any

	 	(2)	the repayment or retirement of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness repaid or retired with the proceeds of any other Indebtedness, which repayment or retirement
shall be calculated pursuant to the foregoing clause (1) and not this clause (2)) by the Operating Partnership and its Subsidiaries since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period had been repaid or retired on the first day of such
period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such period); 


 

	 	(3)	in the case of Acquired Indebtedness or Indebtedness Incurred in connection with any acquisition since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period, the related
acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and 


 

	 	(4)	in the case of any acquisition or disposition of any asset or group of assets or the placement of any assets in service or removal of any assets from service by the
Operating Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries from the first day of the relevant four-quarter period to the date of determination, including, without limitation, by merger, or stock or asset purchase or sale, the acquisition, disposition,
placement in service or removal from service had occurred as of the first day of such period with appropriate adjustments with respect to the acquisition, disposition, placement in service or removal from service being included in that pro forma
calculation.
