ADDENDUM TO RELEASE




     On October 22, 2010, I resigned my employment with Campus Crest Communities, Inc. (Campus
Crest) and entered into a full and general Release (“Release”) of Campus Crest and its affiliated
and subsidiary companies and the current and former directors, officers, employees, agents and
assigns of any of them (hereinafter “Releasees”). In the Release, the parties agreed that I would
continue to work for Campus Crest for two weeks after signing the Release. That two week period
has concluded and my employment with Campus Crest has ended.



     As such, and in exchange for the consideration in the Release, the consideration herein and
the additional sum of $100, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, I enter into this
Addendum to the Release (“Addendum”) and hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:



     The terms of the Release are incorporated herein.



     I acknowledge and agree on behalf of myself and anyone who may claim by or through me, to
release, remise and forever discharge the Releasees from any and all liabilities, claims, demands,
causes of action and/or suits at law or in equity, including but not limited to any claims for back
wages, front pay, compensatory or punitive damages, liquidated damages, fees, costs or any other
relief or award at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, that I had, or may have had, or may
have in the future for any alleged violation of any law, including, but not limited to, any alleged
violation of any equal employment opportunity laws, ordinances, regulations or orders based on
race, gender or any other protected status (including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42
U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1981A et seq., and any other applicable federal, state or local
constitutional or statutory provisions, orders or regulations) arising out of or relating to any
act, omission or event, relating to my employment, cessation of employment or otherwise, occurring
up to and including the date I sign this release. This release is intended by me to be a full,
binding, and permanent release of all claims which were or could have been alleged or discovered by
me and shall be construed broadly to effectuate this purpose.



     In addition, I acknowledge and agree that (i) I have received on or about this date 7,789
shares of common stock of Campus Crest (the “King Shares”), (ii) the King Shares are in
complete satisfaction of my vested interest in awards under the terminated deferred compensation
plan (the “DCP”) of Campus Crest Group, LLC, (iii) I have agreed with Campus Crest to
accept, and by execution of this Addendum do hereby accept, receipt of the King Shares as of the
date hereof notwithstanding that Section (D) of Exhibit A attached to my Employment Agreement with
Campus Crest, dated October 19, 2010, states that such shares will not be issued until one year
after the date of termination of the DCP and (iv) I do not have any claim, interest, right or title
to any shares of common stock of Campus Crest other than the King Shares.



     This Addendum is entered into to resolve any disputes between the parties and to avoid
litigation. The parties disclaim any wrongdoing and this Agreement is not an admission by any
party that either has acted wrongfully or has any claim against the other or is covered by any law,
statute or provision.



 









 





     This Addendum is governed by North Carolina law, its provisions are severable and if any part
is found unenforceable, the other parts will remain fully valid and enforceable. No amendment or
modification shall be of any force unless in writing and signed by the party against whom it is
sought to be enforced.
