 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), is made and entered into as of the 19th day of October, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Campus Crest Communities, Inc. (the “Company”), and Shannon N. King, an individual
(“Employee”) (the Company and Employee are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Parties”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. The Company desires to employ Employee as Executive Vice
President and Chief Marketing Officer of the Company on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 
 B. Employee desires
to accept such employment on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements of the Parties hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. The Company hereby employs Employee as Executive Vice President and Chief
Marketing Officer of the Company, and Employee hereby accepts such employment, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Employee shall have such other duties as shall from time to time be assigned to Employee by the Chief Executive
Officer, the President and Chief Operating Officer or the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Company in their discretion, which may include modifications to the compensation and benefits of Employee commensurate with the assigned duties.
Employee shall faithfully and to the best of her ability fulfill such duties and shall devote her full business time, attention, skill and efforts with undivided loyalty to the performance of such duties. Employee shall abide by all of the rules,
regulations and policies established or promulgated (whether communicated in writing, electronically or orally) by the Company from time to time. Employee agrees that so long as she is an employee of the Company she shall not, without obtaining the
express prior approval in writing of the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of the Company, engage in any employment, consulting activity or business other than for the Company. 

2. Compensation and Benefits. During her employment under this Agreement, Employee shall receive the compensation and benefits
more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided that such compensation and benefits may be modified in the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer or the Board
as contemplated by Section 1 of this Agreement. Any payments referenced hereunder shall be subject to applicable taxes and other withholdings. 
 3. Termination. This Agreement shall be for an initial term of one year, expiring on the first anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, it shall automatically renew for additional one
year terms on each anniversary date hereof unless notice of termination is given in writing at least 90 days prior to expiration of the initial term or the renewal term, as the case may be. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time for
Cause or without Cause (as defined below). Employee may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without Good Reason (as defined below) upon delivery to the Company of thirty (30) days written notice. Termination of this Agreement shall
terminate completely Employee’s employment with the Company, including, but not limited to, her role as an officer. 

 (A) Termination Date. The date which the Board of the Company designates as the
termination date or, if Employee terminates this Agreement, the date designated by Employee as stated in the written notice delivered to the Company, shall be referred to herein as the “Termination Date.” 

(B) Payment Upon Termination. 
 (i) Termination By Employee. In the event Employee terminates this Agreement, the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee that pro-rata portion of her current semi-monthly Base Salary payment,
as adjusted for any increase thereto, which is earned but unpaid as of the Termination Date, any earned but unpaid incentive compensation, any accrued but unpaid paid time off (“PTO”) due to her through the Termination Date and any
unreimbursed expenses. Employee will not be entitled to, nor will she receive, any type of severance payment, unless she has Good Reason, as defined below, to terminate this Agreement. If Employee has Good Reason then she shall receive the severance
outlined in subsection (B)(ii)(b) below addressing Termination by the Company without Cause, subject to its requirements for receipt of such payment. If Employee terminates Employee’s employment pursuant to this subsection (B)(i), then the
Company, at its option, may require Employee to cease providing services during the thirty (30) day notice period required therein; provided, however, for purposes of calculating payment upon termination under this Agreement, Employee shall be
treated as if she was employed during such thirty (30) day period. “Good Reason” shall mean (1) Employee’s involuntary relocation to a principal place of work more than thirty (30) miles from Charlotte, North
Carolina or (2) a material breach by the Company of its obligations hereunder, provided that, upon the occurrence of any of these acts or omissions, Employee gives the Company notice of her belief that she has Good Reason to terminate this
Agreement and the Company fails to cure within thirty (30) business days of receipt of Employee’s notice. 
 (ii)
Termination By Company. 
 (a) Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement for Cause effective immediately
upon written notice to Employee stating the facts constituting such Cause. If Employee is terminated for Cause, the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee that pro-rata portion of her current semi-monthly Base Salary payment, as adjusted for any
increase thereto, which is earned but unpaid as of the Termination Date, any earned but unpaid incentive compensation, any accrued but unpaid PTO due to her through the Termination Date and any unreimbursed expenses. Employee will not be entitled
to, nor will she receive, any type of severance payment. The term “Cause” shall mean: (1) Employee’s act of gross negligence or misconduct that has the effect of injuring the business of the Company or its parent,
subsidiaries or affiliates, taken as a whole, in any material respect, (2) Employee’s conviction or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to the commission of a felony by Employee, (3) the commission by Employee of an act of fraud
or embezzlement against the Company, its parent, subsidiary or affiliates, or (4) Employee’s willful breach of any material provision of this Agreement or that certain Confidentiality and Noncompetition Agreement between Employee and the
Company which shall be entered into contemporaneously with this Agreement (the “Confidentiality and Noncompetition Agreement”). 

  
 2 

 (b) Without Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement without Cause effective
immediately upon notice to Employee. In the event the Company terminates this Agreement without Cause, the Company shall pay to Employee in addition to the amounts under the first sentence of Subsection B(i) above, a cash payment equal to one-half
times the sum of: (i) Employee’s then current annual Base Salary, as adjusted for any increase thereto and (ii) an amount equal to the bonus paid to Employee for the prior year (provided that, if no incentive bonus was paid in the
prior year the amount shall be 50% of the “target amount” as defined in the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan for the year in which notice is given). Any amounts payable under this subparagraph shall be paid in equal monthly
installments over a period of six months commencing no later than thirty (30) days following Employee’s Termination Date, shall be subject to applicable withholdings. The severance and bonus payments outlined in this Section are contingent
on Employee fully complying with the terms of the Confidentiality and Noncompetition Agreement signed contemporaneously herewith. If Employee fails to so comply, Employee agrees that the Company has the right to cease making the payments described
in this Section and that the Company is entitled to recover from Employee any payments it has already made to Employee. 
 (iii)
Change in Control. In the event, within 24 months following a Change in Control of the Company: (A) Employee is terminated without Cause by the Company, or (B) Employee terminates her employment for Good Reason, in lieu of the
severance payment outlined in (b) above, Employee will receive, in addition to the amounts under the first sentence of Subsection B(i) above, a cash payment equal to one-half times the sum of: (i) Employee’s then current Base Salary,
as adjusted for any increase thereto and (ii) an amount equal to Employee’s previous year’s Incentive Compensation Plan payment. In the event Employee did not receive an Incentive Compensation Plan payment the previous year, the
incentive amount shall be 50% of the “target amount” as defined in the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan for the year in which termination occurs. Such amount shall be paid in a lump sum within 60 days of the Termination Date
subject to subsection 3(C) hereof. “Change in Control” means “a change in the ownership of the corporation,” “a change in effective control of the corporation,” or “a change in the ownership of a substantial
portion of the assets of the corporation” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations. The payments to Employee outlined in this Section are contingent on Employee fully complying with the terms of the
Confidentiality and Noncompetition Agreement signed contemporaneously herewith. If Employee fails to so comply, Employee agrees that the Company has the right to cease making the payments described in this Section and that the Company is entitled to
recover from Employee any payments it has already made to Employee. 
 In the event it shall be determined that any payment or
distribution to or for the benefit of Employee under this subsection (iii) or the acceleration thereof (the “Triggering Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (collectively, such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, the “Excise Tax”) (all such payments and
benefits, including any cash severance payments payable pursuant to any other plan, arrangement or agreement, hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments
provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, the cash severance payments 

  
 3 

 
shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (A) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after
subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater
than or equal to (B) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which Employee would be
subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). All determinations required to be made under this
subsection (iii) shall be made in writing within ten (10) business days of the receipt of notice from Employee that there has been a Triggering Payment by the independent accounting firm then retained by the Company in the ordinary course
of business (which firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and Employee) and such determinations shall be final and binding on the Company and Employee. Any fees incurred as a result of work performed by any independent
accounting firm hereunder shall be paid by the Company. 
 (iv) Vesting. In the event of: (i) a termination by the
Company without Cause, (ii) a termination by Employee for Good Reason, (iii) a Change in Control, or (iv) the voluntary retirement of the Employee subsequent to reaching the age of 63, occurring prior to Employee fully vesting in any
options or restricted equity, then the vesting schedule shall be accelerated so that Employee will be deemed fully vested with respect to such options or restricted equity. 
 (v) Disability. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment upon Employee’s total disability. Employee shall be deemed to be totally disabled for purposes of this Agreement if she is
unable to perform her essential job duties under this Agreement by reason of a mental or physical illness or condition lasting for a period of 120 consecutive days or more, taking into consideration any reasonable accommodations under the Americans
with Disabilities Act, if applicable. The determination as to whether Employee is totally disabled shall be made by a licensed physician selected by the Company. Whether Employee is entitled to receive her Base Salary during the period she is unable
to work prior to termination hereunder is contingent on other Company policies and the amount of leave Employee has available to her under those policies. Upon termination by reason of Employee’s disability, the Company’s sole and
exclusive obligation will be to pay Employee that pro-rata portion of her current semi-monthly Base Salary payment, as adjusted for any increase thereto, which is earned but unpaid as of the Termination Date, any earned but unpaid bonus and any
accrued but unpaid PTO due to her through the Termination Date. 
 (vi) Death. This Agreement shall terminate immediately
and without any action on the part of the Company if Employee dies. In such an event, Employee’s estate shall receive from the Company, in a single lump sum, an amount equal to (i) that pro-rata portion of her current semi-monthly Base
Salary payment, as adjusted for any increase thereto, which is earned but unpaid as of the date of Employee’s death unless earlier terminated due to disability as set forth in subsection 3(B)(v) above and (ii) any bonus compensation earned
by Employee but unpaid prior to Employee’s death, plus other death benefits, if any, generally applicable to the Company’s employees. 

  
 4 

 (C) The following rules shall apply with respect to the distribution of payments and
benefits, if any, to be provided to Employee under Section 3(B) of this Agreement, as applicable: 
 (i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no payments shall be made to Employee upon Employee’s termination of employment from the Company under this Agreement unless such termination of employment is a “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of determining the timing of payments under this Section 3 only, “Termination Date” shall be deemed to mean the date on which Employee experiences a “separation
from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (ii) It is intended that each installment of the
payments and benefits provided under this Section 3(B)(ii)(b), if any, shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Employee is deemed to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, any payments
to Employee hereunder that are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code shall not be made prior to the six-month anniversary of Employee’s Termination Date. Thereafter, any payment that would otherwise have been made during
the six-month period beginning on Employee’s Termination Date will be paid, together with interest at an annual rate (compounded monthly) equal to the federal short-term rate (as in effect under Section 1274(d) of the Code on the
termination date), to Employee immediately following such six-month anniversary and no later than thirty (30) days following such anniversary. 
 4. Release. Employee agrees that payment by the Company of the amounts set out above (in the event of a termination by the Company Without Cause, termination by Employee for Good Reason or due to a
Change in Control) is contingent upon Employee executing a mutual release, acceptable to the Company and Employee which shall recite that such payment is in full and final settlement of any and all actions, causes of actions, suits, claims, demands
and entitlements whatsoever which Employee has or may have against the Company or which the Company may have against Employee, their respective affiliates and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, representatives,
successors and assigns arising out of Employee’s hiring, her employment and the termination of her employment or this Agreement. 
 5. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Employee for all necessary and reasonable out-of-pocket travel and other business expenses incurred by Employee, which relate to Employee’s duties
hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s relevant policies in effect from time to time. 
 6. Survival Of Certain
Provisions. Any provisions hereof that, by their nature, would survive the termination hereof shall not be discharged or dissolved upon, but shall survive the termination of the employment of Employee with the Company.

 7. Representations And Warranties Of Employee. As of the date hereof and at all times
during the term hereof, Employee represents and warrants to the Company that (a) Employee has not entered into and is not bound by any agreement, understanding or restriction (including, without limitation, any covenant restricting competition or

by her of all her duties and obligations hereunder; and (b) the execution of this Agreement by her and the employment of her by the Company under this Agreement will not result in, or constitute a breach of, any term or condition of any other
agreement, instrument, arrangement or understanding between her and any third party, or constitute (or, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute) a default, breach or violation of any such agreement, instrument, arrangement or
understanding, or which would accelerate the maturity of any duty or obligation of her thereunder. 
 8. Indemnity.

costs incurred by the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, affiliates, parent, subsidiary and related companies, representatives and consultants and their insurers by reason of an alleged violation by Employee of any

 Exhibit A — Employment Agreement with Shannon N. King  

Compensation and Benefits 
 (A) Employee’s employment with the Company shall become effective on October 19, 2010. 
 (B) Employee shall receive a base salary of $200,000 per year (as such base salary may hereafter from time to time be adjusted as provided herein, the “Base Salary”). Thereafter,
Employee’s Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board of the Company and may be adjusted in its sole discretion. The Base Salary shall be paid during the period of employment, by direct
deposit according to the Company’s current standard pay practice of 26 pay periods per year (semi-monthly) or in accordance with the Company’s relevant policies and practices in effect from time to time, including normal payroll practices,
and shall be subject to all applicable employment and withholding taxes. 
 (C) In addition to the Base Salary, Employee is
eligible to participate in the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) with a target potential bonus equal to fifty percent (50%) of her Base Salary, with the potential to achieve one hundred percent
(100%) of Base Salary if stretch performance targets are achieved. This plan shall be approved annually by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of the Company. Employee’s eligibility for or entitlement to any payments under
the Plan shall be subject to the terms of the Plan. 
 (D) In accordance with its terms, Employee is eligible to participate in
the Company’s Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “EICP”). The Employee will be issued 7,989 vested shares of restricted common stock of the Company in satisfaction of Employee’s vested interest in awards under the
terminated deferred compensation plan (the “DCP”) of Campus Crest Group, LLC, which shares will be issued one year after the date of termination of the DCP. In addition, the Employee will receive a grant of 3,895 shares of
restricted common stock of the Company on the Effective Date and a grant of 3,895 shares of restricted common stock of the Company on January 1, 2012, which grants of shares will vest ratably on each of the first, second and third anniversaries
of the date of grant. Employee’s rights and entitlements with respect to any such benefits shall be subject to the provisions of the EICP, which Employee acknowledges. 
 (E) Employee shall receive a car allowance of $1,000 per month. 
 (F) Subject to,
and in accordance with, their terms, Employee shall be entitled to participate in any plans, insurance policies or contracts maintained by the Company relating to retirement, health, disability, vacation, auto, and other related benefits. These
currently include health, dental and life insurance, and 401K. Employee is eligible to accrue compensated business days of PTO each year, initially accruing at the rate of one and 83/1000ths (1.083) days per month of service, beginning with the
completion of Employee’s first month of service. After the completion of Employee’s first year of employment, for each additional year employed thereafter, Employee shall accrue one additional day of PTO. By way of example only,

  
 10 

 
Employee shall accrue PTO at a rate of one and 167/1000ths (1.167) days per month beginning the first day of her second year of employment. PTO is accrued on a calendar year basis with a
total maximum accrual of twenty-one (21) days per year. Up to five (5) days of unused PTO may be carried over from one year to the following year, but carried-over PTO must be used within the year following its accrual. Upon
Employee’s termination from the Company, current year accrued but unused PTO will be considered for payment to Employee, but carried-over PTO will not be paid to Employee. PTO generally may not be used in advance of its accrual, but any
unaccrued but used PTO will be considered an advance and will be deducted from Employee’s final paycheck upon termination. Employee is also eligible for eight (8) paid holidays per year as designated by the Company. Employee’s rights
and entitlements with respect to any such benefits shall be subject to the provisions of the relevant plans, contracts or policies providing such benefits. Nothing contained herein or in any employment offer shall be deemed to impose any obligation
on the Company to maintain or adopt any such plans, policies or contracts or to limit the Company’s right to modify or eliminate such plans, policies or contracts in its sole discretion. 

(G) Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in this Exhibit, she shall not be entitled to receive any other
compensation, payments or benefits in connection with her employment under this Agreement.

obligation under this Section 3 shall not apply to any information which (i) is known publicly; (ii) is in the public domain or hereafter enters the public domain without the breach of the Executive of this Section 3;
(iii) is known to Executive prior to his receipt of such information from the Company, as evidenced by Executive’s written records; or (iv) is disclosed after termination of Executive’s employment to Executive by a third party
not under an obligation of confidence to the Company. 
 Section 4. Non-Competition. 

Executive covenants and agrees that during the Restricted Period, in any State of the United States of America in which the Company
conducts business, has purchased or is under contract to purchase real estate to conduct business or has identified specific sites as potential future development opportunities, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) engage in
Competitive Activities, whether individually or as principal, partner, officer, director, consultant, contractor, employee, stockholder or manager of any person, partnership, corporation, limited liability company or any other entity; or
(b) own interests in student housing properties that are competitive, directly or indirectly, with any business carried on by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may, directly or indirectly, own, solely as an investment,
securities of any entity engaged in Competitive Activities which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market; provided that Executive (A) is not a controlling person of, or member of a group
which controls, such entity and (B) does not, directly or indirectly, own 2% or more of any class of securities of any such entity. 
 Section 5. Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference. 
 During the Restricted
Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for his own account or benefit or for the account or benefit of any other individual or entity, nor shall he directly or indirectly assist any person or entity to (i) encourage, solicit or
induce, or in any manner attempt to solicit or induce, any person employed by, as agent of, or as service provider to, the Company to terminate such person’s employment, agency or service, as the case may be, with the Company; or
(ii) divert, or attempt to divert, any person, concern, or entity from doing business with the Company, or attempt to induce any such person, concern or entity to cease being a customer or supplier of the Company.

 Section 6. Return of Documents. 

In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall deliver to the Company all of (i) the
property of the Company, and (ii) the documents and data of any nature and in whatever medium of the Company, its customers, suppliers, investors or other third parties who entrusted such documents or data to the Company, and he shall not take
with him any such property, documents or data or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information. 
 Section 7. Works for Hire. 
 Executive agrees that the Company shall
own all right, title and interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights and other rights throughout the world) in any inventions, works of authorship, mask works, ideas or information discovered, created, made,
conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by Executive (either alone or with others) during the Term of Employment that relate to the Company’s business activities (the “Developments”); provided,
however, that the Company shall not own Developments for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, trade secret information or Confidential Information of the Company was used and which were developed entirely off of Company premises and on
Executive’s own personal time, and which do not relate (A) to the business, plans, or affairs of the Company, or (B) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development (“Excluded Developments”).
Executive agrees to assign, and hereby does assign to the Company all right, title and interest in and to any and all of these Developments with the sole exception of those that Executive demonstrates are Excluded Developments. Executive agrees to
assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, to further evidence, record, confirm, effect, enable and perfect such assignments to Company, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend all rights, title, and interest specified to be so
owned or assigned. To the extent permissible by law, Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its agents as attorneys-in-fact to act for and on Executive’s behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other
lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. In addition, and not in contravention of any of the foregoing, Executive acknowledges that all original works of
authorship which are made by him (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of employment and which are protectable by copyright shall to the extent possible under U.S. law be considered “works made for hire,” as that term is defined
in the United States Copyright Act (17 USC Sec. 101). Further, to the extent that Company is not considered the author and original owner of any Developments, Executive agrees to waive and hereby does waive any and all interests or rights in the
nature of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights or interests that may be known as or referred to as “moral rights” under the law of any jurisdiction. To the extent Executive retains any such moral rights or
other rights or interests under applicable law, consents to any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement with respect thereto, in each case, to the full extent of such applicable law. Executive will confirm any such waivers and consents
from time to time as requested by the Company. 
 Section 8. Enforceability and Reformation; Severability. 

 The Parties intend for all provisions of this Agreement to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Accordingly,
in the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, for any reason, under present or future law, such provision shall be severable and the remainder thereof shall not be
invalidated or rendered unenforceable or otherwise adversely affected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a court should deem any provision of this Agreement to create a restriction that is unreasonable as to scope, duration or
geographical area or otherwise, the Parties agree that the court may modify or blue pencil the provisions of this Agreement and that the provisions shall be enforceable in such scope, for such duration and in such geographic area as any court having
jurisdiction may determine to be the longest period and/or greatest size permissible and reasonable under the law. 

Section 9. Injunctive Relief. 
 Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Company, Executive acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement may result in material irreparable injury to the
Company for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a

  
 3 

 
temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach of this
Agreement, restraining Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by this Agreement or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary,
the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in Section 4 or Section 5 hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company seeks to enforce this covenant
against Executive if it is ultimately determined that Executive was in breach of such covenants. 
 Section 10. Fees And
Costs.  
 If either Party initiates any action or proceeding to enforce any of its rights hereunder or to seek damages for
any violation hereof, then, the Parties shall bear their respective costs and expenses of any such proceeding; provided, that, in addition to all other remedies that may be granted, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs that it may sustain in connection with such action or proceeding. 

Section 11. Successors and Assigns. 
 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, and may be assigned by the Company to, any purchaser of all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets, any successor
to the Company or any assignee thereof (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise). 

Section 12. Waiver and Amendments. 
 Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that any
such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent
occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. 

Section 13. Governing Law. 
 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina (without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof) applicable to contracts made
and to be performed entirely within such state. 
 Section 14. Section Headings. 

The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a
part thereof or affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or of any term or provision hereof. 
 Section 15.
Entire Agreement. 
 This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto regarding
the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. 

Section 16. Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this
Agreement may be by actual or facsimile signature.
