referred to as the “Parties”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H : 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) on a date even
herewith; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company, as a condition of entering into the Employment Agreement with Executive, desires to
obtain certain restrictive covenants from Executive, as described below, and Executive is willing to agree to such restrictive covenants in consideration of the employment, compensation and benefits set forth in the Employment Agreement.

confidential knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience at significant expense to the Company and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, know-how, contacts, training and experience could be used to the substantial
advantage of a competitor of the Company and to the Company’s substantial detriment. 
 Section 3. Confidential
Information. 
 At any time during and after the end of Executive’s employment with the Company, without the prior
written consent of the Board, except to the extent required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency, in which event, Executive shall use his best efforts to consult with the Board prior to
responding to any such order or subpoena, and except as required in the performance of his duties under the Employment Agreement, Executive shall not disclose any confidential or proprietary trade secrets, customer lists, drawings, designs,
information regarding product development, marketing plans, sales plans, manufacturing plans, management organization information, operating policies or manuals, business plans, financial records, packaging design or other financial, commercial,

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.
