BRIAN SHARPE

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement (the “Agreement”) will confirm the
arrangements we have discussed concerning your separation from Campus Crest Communities, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”
or “us”) as a result of the termination of your employment effective October 1, 2014. It constitutes our entire understanding
regarding the terms of your separation.

 

		1.	Separation of Employment. Your last day of employment with the Company will be October 1, 2014
(your “Separation Date”). As of your Separation Date, you will be relieved of all further duties and responsibilities
and are no longer authorized to transact business or incur any expenses, obligations, or liabilities on behalf of the Company.
However, for two years following your Separation Date, you agree to be available to respond to future inquiries or reasonable requests
for assistance from us related to matters arising during your employment with the Company.

 

		2.	Post-Separation Benefits. In exchange for your executing this Agreement and abiding by its terms, the Company will provide
you with the following benefits:

 

		·	The sum of $550,000 (two times your current annual base salary of $275,000.00) to be paid in equal
installments on the Company’s regular paydays for the payment of base salary to executives, less payroll deductions, for
a period of 24 months commencing no later than 60 days following your Separation Date, with the exact commencement of payments
to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company; except that the first payment shall include any payments that would already
have been paid had payments commenced on October 2, 2014;

 

		·	The sum of $639,636.00 (two times the bonus provided to you in 2014 for your work in 2013), to be paid in equal installments
on the Company’s regular paydays for the payment of base salary to executives, less payroll deductions, for a period of 24
months commencing no later than 60 days following your Separation Date, with the exact commencement of payments to be determined
in the sole discretion of the Company; except that the first payment shall include any payments that would already have been paid
had payments commenced on October 2, 2014; and

 

		·	An amendment to your restricted stock award dated April 22, 2013 (the “Performance Award”) that will waive the
requirement that you must be employed with the Company on the date on which the performance condition specified in Section 2(b)
of the Performance Award is satisfied in order to vest in such award and an amendment to your outstanding restricted stock awards
other than the Performance Award that provides that the vesting of such awards will be accelerated to become fully vested on the
Separation Date.

 

The Company shall have the right to offset against
any sums payable to you under this Agreement that are exempt from section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
any amounts you owe the Company as a result of expense account indebtedness, failure to return Company property, or other advances
or debts due.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

You acknowledge that the payments
and benefit described above and all other benefits and consideration contained herein are given to you in exchange for your executing
this Agreement and abiding by its terms. You further acknowledge that the payment described above is not required by your Employment
Agreement or the Company’s policies and procedures and constitutes value to which you are not already entitled.

 

Regardless of whether you sign this
Agreement, you will receive your regular base salary through your Separation Date and payment for unused vacation accrued through
your Separation Date in accordance with normal Company policies for payment upon termination of employment.

 

You will not be eligible to accrue
vacation, participate in any retirement or savings plan, or receive any other employment benefits after your Separation Date. No
further amounts shall be due or owed to you from the Company for or in any way relating to or connected with your employment with
us, except as set forth above.

 

		3.	Release of Claims. Except for any claims you may have for workers’ compensation benefits, unemployment compensation
benefits, vested pension or retirement benefits, or nonforfeitable health care, disability, or other similar welfare benefits (which
are not released by this Agreement) and in further consideration of the benefits we have agreed to provide you, you do hereby release
and forever discharge the Company and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, predecessors, successors, and assigns, and
all of their present and former officers, directors, benefit plans and programs, agents, representatives, shareholders, attorneys,
trustees, and employees (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, actions,
causes of action, suits, entitlements, liabilities, agreements, damages, losses, or expenses (including attorney’s fees and
costs actually incurred) of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown (hereinafter “Claim” or “Claims”),
that you have, may have had, or may later claim to have had against any of them for personal injuries, losses or damage to personal
property, breach of contract (express or implied), breach of any covenant of good faith (express or implied), or any other losses
or expenses of any kind (whether arising in tort or contract or by statute) resulting from anything that has occurred prior to
the date you execute this Agreement. This release includes, but is not limited to, any Claims for back pay, liquidated damages,
compensatory damages, or any other losses or other damages to you or your property resulting from any claimed violation of local,
state, or federal law, including, for example (but not limited to), claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (prohibiting discrimination on account of race, color, religion, sex, or national
origin); 42 U.S.C. § 1981; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (the “ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 621 et
seq. (prohibiting discrimination on account of age); the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101
et seq. (prohibiting discrimination on account of disabilities); the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment
Rights Act of 1994, 38 U.S.C. § 4301 et seq.; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C.
§ 1001 et seq.; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101 et
seq.; Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, 42 U.S.C. § 2000ff et seq.;
the North Carolina Equal Employment Practices Act, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-422.1 et seq.; the North Carolina
Persons With Disabilities Protection Act, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 168A-1 et seq.; the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of North Carolina, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 95-151; the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 95-25.1 et
seq.; any other Claims under federal, state, or local statutory or common law; or any claim under any Employment Agreement
between you and the Company. The foregoing release of Claims expressly includes a waiver of any right to recovery for the Claims
released herein in any and all private causes of action and/or charges and/or in any and all complaints filed with, or by, any
governmental agency and/or other person or tribunal. This Agreement does not, however, waive rights or claims that may arise after
the date you sign it below.

 

    	2

    	 

    

 

You expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is intended
to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which you do not know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time you
sign this Agreement, and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of any such Claim or Claims. Thus, in order to effectuate
a full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties, you expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits which
you may have under any state or federal statute or common law principle that would otherwise limit the effect of this Agreement
to Claims known or suspected prior to the date you sign this Agreement, and do so understanding and acknowledging the significance
and consequences of such specific waiver.

 

		4.	Affirmations. You affirm that you have not filed, caused to be filed, or are not presently a party to any claim, complaint,
or action against the Company in any forum or form. You furthermore affirm that you have no known workplace injuries or occupational
diseases and have been provided and/or have not been denied any leave requested under the Family and Medical Leave Act. You further
affirm that you are not aware of any wrongful, tortious, or criminal action committed by the Company or its agents.

 

		5.	Covenant Not to Sue. You agree that, except to the extent such right may not be waived by law,
you will not commence any legal action or lawsuit or otherwise assert any legal claim seeking relief for any Claim released or
waived under the Release of Claims provision above. This “covenant not to sue” does not, however, prevent or prohibit
you from seeking a judicial determination of the validity of your Release of Claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act (“ADEA”). In addition, this “covenant not to sue” does not prevent or prohibit you from filing any
administrative complaint or charge against the Releasees (or any of them) with any federal, state, or local agency, including,
for instance, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the U.S. Department of Labor, but you understand that by signing
this Agreement, you will have no right to recover monetary damages or obtain individual relief of any kind in such proceeding with
respect to Claims released or waived by this Agreement.

 

    	3

    	 

    

 

		6.	Non-Admission. This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company
that it has acted wrongfully with respect to you or any other person, or that you have any rights whatsoever against the Company.

 

		7.	Return of Property. You represent that you have returned or agree that you will return to the
Company on or before the Effective Date of this Agreement any and all Company property in your possession or control, including,
but not limited to the Company car currently in your possession, a 2013 Tesla S, VIN No. 5YJSA1DN1DFP13255, all keys, credit
cards, computers, cellular telephones, and other personal items or equipment provided to you by the Company for use during your
employment, together with all written or recorded materials, documents, computer discs, plans, records, notes, files, drawings,
or papers, and any copies thereof, relating to the affairs of the Company, including all notes or records relating to clients of
the Company. Any severance benefits payable under this Agreement will not be paid until after you have returned all Company property
in your possession.

 

		8.	Confidentiality. You agree that you will keep the terms, amount, and fact of this Agreement
completely confidential, and that, except as required by law, as necessary for the enforcement of this Agreement, or as authorized
in writing by the Company, you will not hereafter disclose any information concerning this Agreement to anyone other than your
immediate family and professional representatives who will be informed by you of, and must agree to be bound by, this confidentiality
clause before you disclose any information about this Agreement to them.

 

		9.	The parties agree that the Confidentiality and Noncompetition Agreement that you entered into effective August 5, 2013 remains
in effect and is incorporated herein by reference with the following modifications:

 

		·	Section 1(d) is deleted.

 

		·	The following language is added to Section 1:

 

(d)“Competitive Business” shall mean
the development, construction, acquisition, sale, marketing or management of facilities whose primary function and purpose is student
housing and/or the provision of third party student housing services to providers of student housing.

 

and

 

(j)“Services” shall mean (a) providing
managerial, operational or executive-level oversight, (b) providing strategic guidance, (c) providing any additional services of
the type that Executive performed for Company. You acknowledge and agree that these are the services that you performed for the
Company.

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

		·	Section 4 is amended to read as follows:

 

You covenant and agree 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, you shall not,
directly or indirectly whether individually or as a principal, partner, officer, director, consultant contractor, employee, stockholder
or manager of any person, partnership, corporation limited liability company or any other entity provide Services for a Competitive
Business.

 

		·	The following language is added as the last sentence of Section 5:

 

This provision (ii) applies to those persons, concerns,
or entities that were actual or potential customers or suppliers of the Company during the time period of Executive’s employment
with the Company and with which Executive or those he supervised had contact on behalf of the Company.

 

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Employment Agreement that you and the Company entered into effective August 5, 2013, is hereby superseded and shall be null and
void, effective immediately.

 

		10.	Non-Disparagement. You agree not to make any oral or written statement or take any other action that disparages or criticizes
the Company or its management or practices, that damages the Company’s good reputation, or that impairs its normal operations.
You understand that this nondisparagement provision does not apply on occasions when you are subpoenaed or ordered by a court or
other governmental authority to testify or give evidence and must, of course, respond truthfully, to conduct otherwise protected
by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or to conduct or testimony in the context of enforcing the terms of this Agreement or other rights,
powers, privileges, or claims not released by this Agreement. You also understand that the foregoing nondisparagement provision
does not apply on occasions when you provide truthful information in good faith to any federal, state, or local governmental body,
agency, or official investigating an alleged violation of any antidiscrimination or other employment-related law or otherwise gathering
information or evidence pursuant to any official investigation, hearing, trial, or proceeding. Nothing in this nondisparagement
provision is intended in any way to intimidate, coerce, deter, persuade, or compensate you with respect to providing, withholding,
or restricting any communication whatsoever to the extent prohibited under 18 U.S.C. §§ 201, 1503, or 1512 or under any
similar or related provision of state or federal law.

 

		11.	Expenses. You agree that you have been reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket travel
and other business expenses incurred by you in accordance with the Company’s policies.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

		12.	Consequences of Breach. You agree that you will indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless from
any loss, cost, damage, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by them arising out of your breach of any portion
of this Agreement. You also understand that your entitlement to and retention of the benefits we have agreed to provide you herein
are expressly conditioned upon your fulfillment of your promises herein, and you agree, to the extent permitted or required by
law, immediately to return or repay the amounts you have received from us pursuant to this Agreement in excess of $100.00 upon
your breach of any provision of this Agreement. For the purposes of this paragraph, a subsequent legal challenge to the validity
of your release of claims under the ADEA in this Agreement will not be considered a breach of this Agreement. However, the severance
benefits paid to you under this Agreement may serve as restitution, recoupment, and/or setoff in the event you prevail on the merits
of such claim.

 

		13.	Choice of Law and Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without
regard to conflict of laws principles. This Agreement represents the entire understanding between you and the Company and supersedes
any prior agreement or plan regarding its contents. Any alteration or modification of this Agreement shall not be valid unless
in writing and signed by all parties.

 

		14.	Arbitration. Any and all disputes relating to your employment with the Company, the termination
of that employment, and the parties’ compliance with or alleged breach of this Agreement are subject to arbitration by both
you and the Company in accordance with the arbitration provisions set forth in Paragraphs 12 and 17 of the Employment Agreement
between you and the Company entered into August 5, 2013, which paragraphs are hereby incorporated by reference.

 

		15.	Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any term of this Agreement
is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining terms shall remain in full
force and effect.

 

		16.	Consideration Period. Because the arrangements discussed in this Agreement affect important rights and obligations,
we advise you to consult with an attorney before you agree to the terms set forth herein. You have twenty-one (21) days from the
date you receive this Agreement within which to consider it, and you may take as much of that time as you wish before signing.

(21)-day period and return it promptly to Brandon Parise at the Company at brandon.parise@campuscrest.com, whose address is Campus
Crest Real Estate Management, 2100 Rexford Road, #414, Charlotte, NC 28211. If you do not wish to accept the terms of this Agreement,
you do not have to do anything.

 

		17.	Revocation Rights. For a period of up to and including seven (7) days after the date you sign this Agreement, you may
revoke it entirely. No rights or obligations contained in this Agreement shall become enforceable before the end of the seven-day
revocation period. If you decide to revoke the Agreement, you must deliver to Mr. Parise at the contact address described in Paragraph
16 above a signed notice of revocation on or before the last day of this seven-day period. Upon delivery of a notice of revocation

		19.	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective
successors and assigns, and upon you and any of your heirs, personal representatives and assigns, except that my duties hereunder
may not be delegated.

 

		20.	Interpretation. The language used in this Amended Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against either of
the Parties, but shall be construed as if both of the Parties prepared this Amended Agreement. The language used in this Amended
Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction
shall be applied against any such Party.

 

		21.	Section 409A. This Agreement is intended comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, and the Department of Treasury guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”). This Agreement shall be interpreted
and administered to maximize the exemptions from Section 409A for the compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement and, to the
extent the Agreement provides for compensation that is subject to Section 409A, to comply with Section 409A and to avoid the imposition
of tax, interest and/or penalties upon you under Section 409A. The Company does not, however, assume any economic burdens associated
with Section 409A. In particular, the Company will not be liable to you for any tax, interest, or penalties you may owe as a result
of this Agreement. Each of your rights to installment payments under the first and second bullets of Section 2 shall be treated
as a right to a series of separate payments for purposes of Section 409A. Each such payment that is made within 2-1⁄2 months
following the end of the year that contains the Effective Date is intended to be exempt from Section 409A as a short-term deferral
within the meaning of the final regulations under Section 409A. Each such payment that is made later than 2-1⁄2 months following
the end of the year that contains the Effective Date is intended to be exempt from Section 409A under the two-times exception of
Treasury Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (the “Two-Times Exception”), up to the limitation on the availability of the
Two-Times Exception specified in the regulation. Each payment that is made after the Two-Times Exception ceases to be available
shall be subject to the six-month delay, as necessary, as specified below. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A,
in no event shall you, directly or indirectly, designate the taxable year of any payment under this Agreement. In particular, with
respect to any payment that is conditioned upon your executing and not revoking the release of claims as specified herein, if the
designated payment period for such payment begins in one taxable year and ends in the next taxable year, the payment will be made
in the later taxable year. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, references in this Agreement to “termination
of employment” or “terminates employment” (and similar references) shall have the same meaning as “separation
from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “Separation from Service”), and no payment subject to Section
409A that is payable upon a termination of employment shall be paid unless and until (and not later than applicable in compliance
with Section 409A) you incur a Separation from Service. In addition, if you are a “specified employee” within the meaning
of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) at the time of your Separation from Service, any payment subject to Section 409A that would otherwise
have been payable on account of, and within the first six months following, your Separation from Service will become payable on
the first business day after six months following the Separation Date or, if earlier, the date of your death.

to you by the Company to cause you to execute this Agreement, that you had twenty-one (21) days to review this Agreement and to

                                         the Company. However, for the remainder of 2014 and throughout 2015, you agree to be
                                         available to respond to future inquiries or reasonable requests for assistance from us
                                         related to matters arising during your employment with the Company.

 

		2.	Post-Separation Benefits. In exchange
                                         for your executing this Agreement and abiding by its terms, the Company will provide
                                         you with: (1) base salary at your current annual base salary of $360,000.00 as salary
                                         continuation, to be paid on the Company’s regular paydays for the payment of base
                                         salary to executives, less payroll deductions, from October 2, 2014 through October 2,
                                         2015; (2) a lump sum intended to equal the amount of the Company-paid portion of your
                                         annual medical, dental, and vision base coverage for 12 months, grossed up to account
                                         for tax deductions, in the amount of $20,404.40, less payroll deductions payable in November
                                         2014; and (3) an amendment to your outstanding restricted stock awards other than your
                                         restricted stock award dated April 22, 2013 that provides that the vesting of such awards
                                         will be accelerated to become fully vested on the Separation Date.

 

The Company shall have
the right to offset against any sums payable to you under this Agreement that are exempt from section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, any amounts you owe the Company as a result of expense account indebtedness, failure to return Company
property, or other advances or debts due.

acknowledge that the payments and benefit described above and all other benefits and consideration contained herein are given
to you in exchange for your executing this Agreement and abiding by its terms. You further acknowledge that the payment described

                                         consideration of the benefits we have agreed to provide you, you do hereby release and
                                         forever discharge the Company and its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, predecessors,

                                         losses, or expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs actually incurred) of
                                         any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown (hereinafter “Claim” or “Claims”),

                                         of any right to recovery for the Claims released herein in any and all private causes
                                         of action and/or charges and/or in any and all complaints filed with, or by, any governmental
                                         agency and/or other person or tribunal. This Agreement does not, however, waive rights
                                         or claims that may arise after the date you sign it below.

You expressly acknowledge
that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims which you do not know or suspect to exist
in your favor at the time you sign this Agreement, and that this Agreement contemplates the extinguishment of any such Claim or
Claims. Thus, in order to effectuate a full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties, you expressly waive and
relinquish all rights and benefits which you may have under any state or federal statute or common law principle that would otherwise
limit the effect of this Agreement to Claims known or suspected prior to the date you sign this Agreement, and do so understanding
and acknowledging the significance and consequences of such specific waiver.

 

		4.	Affirmations. You affirm that
                                         you have not filed, caused to be filed, or are not presently a party to any claim, complaint,
                                         or action against the Company in any forum or form. You furthermore affirm that you have
                                         no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases and have been provided and/or have
                                         not been denied any leave requested under the Family and Medical Leave Act. You further
                                         affirm that you are not aware of any wrongful, tortious, or criminal action committed
                                         by the Company or its agents.

 

		5.	Covenant
                                         Not to Sue. You agree that, except to the extent such right may not be waived by
                                         law, you will not commence any legal action or lawsuit or otherwise assert any legal
                                         claim seeking relief for any Claim released or waived under the Release of Claims provision
                                         above. This “covenant not to sue” does not, however, prevent or prohibit
                                         you from seeking a judicial determination of the validity of your Release of Claims under
                                         the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”). In addition, this “covenant
                                         not to sue” does not prevent or prohibit you from filing any administrative complaint
                                         or charge against the Releasees (or any of them) with any federal, state, or local agency,
                                         including, for instance, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or the U.S.
                                         Department of Labor, but you understand that by signing this Agreement, you will have
                                         no right to recover monetary damages or obtain individual relief of any kind in such
                                         proceeding with respect to Claims released or waived by this Agreement.

 

		6.	Non-Admission.
                                         This Agreement shall not in any way be construed as an admission by the Company that
                                         it has acted wrongfully with respect to you or any other person, or that you have any
                                         rights whatsoever against the Company.

 

		7.	Return of
                                         Property. You represent that you have returned or agree that you will return to the
                                         Company on or before the Effective Date of this Agreement any and all Company property
                                         in your possession or control, including, but not limited to, the Company car currently
                                         in your possession, a 2014 Maserati Ghibli, VIN No. ZAH57X5A6E1108510, all keys, credit
                                         cards, computers, cellular telephones, and other personal items or equipment provided
                                         to you by the Company for use during your employment, together with all written or recorded
                                         materials, documents, computer discs, plans, records, notes, files, drawings, or papers,
                                         and any copies thereof, relating to the affairs of the Company, including all notes or
                                         records relating to clients of the Company. Any severance benefits payable under this
                                         Agreement will not be paid until after you have returned all Company property in your
                                         possession.

                                         confidential, and that, except as required by law, as necessary for the enforcement of
                                         this Agreement, or as authorized in writing by the Company, you will not hereafter disclose

                                         and professional representatives who will be informed by you of, and must agree to be
                                         bound by, this confidentiality clause before you disclose any information about this
                                         Agreement to them.

 

		9.	The parties agree that the Confidentiality

		10.	Non-Disparagement. You agree
                                         not to make any oral or written statement or take any other action that disparages or
                                         criticizes the Company or its management or practices, that damages the Company’s
                                         good reputation, or that impairs its normal operations. You understand that this nondisparagement
                                         provision does not apply on occasions when you are subpoenaed or ordered by a court or

                                         nondisparagement provision does not apply on occasions when you provide truthful information
                                         in good faith to any federal, state, or local governmental body, agency, or official
                                         investigating an alleged violation of any antidiscrimination or other employment-related
                                         law or otherwise gathering information or evidence pursuant to any official investigation,
                                         hearing, trial, or proceeding. Nothing in this nondisparagement provision is intended
                                         in any way to intimidate, coerce, deter, persuade, or compensate you with respect to
                                         providing, withholding, or restricting any communication whatsoever to the extent prohibited
                                         under 18 U.S.C. §§ 201, 1503, or 1512 or under any similar or related provision

		11.	Expenses. You agree that you
                                         have been reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket travel
                                         and other business expenses incurred by you in accordance with the Company’s policies.

 

		12.	Consequences
                                         of Breach. You agree that you will indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless from
                                         any loss, cost, damage, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by them
                                         arising out of your breach of any portion of this Agreement. You also understand that
                                         your entitlement to and retention of the benefits we have agreed to provide you herein
                                         are expressly conditioned upon your fulfillment of your promises herein, and you agree,
                                         to the extent permitted or required by law, immediately to return or repay the amounts
                                         you have received from us pursuant to this Agreement in excess of $100.00 upon your breach
                                         of any provision of this Agreement. For the purposes of this paragraph, a subsequent
                                         legal challenge to the validity of your release of claims under the ADEA in this Agreement
                                         will not be considered a breach of this Agreement. However, the severance benefits paid
                                         to you under this Agreement may serve as restitution, recoupment, and/or setoff in the
                                         event you prevail on the merits of such claim.

		13.	Choice of Law and Entire Agreement.
                                         This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without
                                         regard to conflict of laws principles. This Agreement represents the entire understanding
                                         between you and the Company and supersedes any prior agreement or plan regarding its
                                         contents. Any alteration or modification of this Agreement shall not be valid unless
                                         in writing and signed by all parties.

 

		14.	Arbitration.
                                         Any and all disputes relating to your employment with the Company, the termination of
                                         that employment, and the parties’ compliance with or alleged breach of this Agreement
                                         are subject to arbitration by both you and the Company in accordance with the arbitration
                                         provisions set forth in Paragraphs 12 and 17 of the Employment Agreement between you
                                         and the Company entered into on March 21, 2011, which paragraphs are hereby incorporated
                                         by reference.

 

		15.	Severability.
                                         The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any term of this Agreement is
                                         held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
                                         remaining terms shall remain in full force and effect.

 

		16.	Consideration Period. Because
                                         the arrangements discussed in this Agreement affect important rights and obligations,
                                         we advise you to consult with an attorney before you agree to the terms set forth herein.

                                         consider it, and you may take as much of that time as you wish before signing. If you
                                         decide to accept the benefits offered herein, you must sign this Agreement on or before

                                         used in this Amended Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against either of
                                         the Parties, but shall be construed as if both of the Parties prepared this Amended Agreement.
                                         The language used in this Amended Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen
                                         by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall
                                         be applied against any such Party.

 

		21.	Section 409A. This Agreement
                                         is intended comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
                                         Code of 1986, as amended, and the Department of Treasury guidance thereunder (“Section
                                         409A”). This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to maximize the exemptions
                                         from Section 409A for the compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement and, to the
                                         extent the Agreement provides for compensation that is subject to Section 409A, to comply
                                         with Section 409A and to avoid the imposition of tax, interest and/or penalties upon
                                         you under Section 409A. The Company does not, however, assume any economic burdens associated
                                         with Section 409A. In particular, the Company will not be liable to you for any tax,
                                         interest, or penalties you may owe as a result of this Agreement. Your right to a series
                                         of installment payments under clause (1) of Section 2 shall be treated as a right to
                                         a series of separate payments for purposes of Section 409A. Each such payment that is
                                         made within 2-1⁄2 months following the end of the year that contains the Effective
                                         Date is intended to be exempt from Section 409A as a short-term deferral within the meaning
                                         of the final regulations under Section 409A. Each such payment that is made later than
                                         2-1⁄2 months following the end of the year that contains the Effective Date is intended
                                         to be exempt from Section 409A under the two-times exception of Treasury Reg. §
                                         1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (the “Two-Times Exception”), up to the limitation on
                                         the availability of the Two-Times Exception specified in the regulation. Each payment
                                         that is made after the Two-Times Exception ceases to be available shall be subject to
                                         the six-month delay, as necessary, as specified below. To the extent necessary to comply
                                         with Section 409A, in no event shall you, directly or indirectly, designate the taxable
                                         year of any payment under this Agreement. In particular, with respect to any payment
                                         that is conditioned upon your executing and not revoking the release of claims as specified
                                         herein, if the designated payment period for such payment begins in one taxable year
                                         and ends in the next taxable year, the payment will be made in the later taxable year.
                                         To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, references in this Agreement to
                                         “termination of employment” or “terminates employment” (and similar
                                         references) shall have the same meaning as “separation from service” within
                                         the meaning of Section 409A (a “Separation from Service”), and no payment
                                         subject to Section 409A that is payable upon a termination of employment shall be paid
                                         unless and until (and not later than applicable in compliance with Section 409A) you
                                         incur a Separation from Service. In addition, if you are a “specified employee”
                                         within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) at the time of your Separation from Service,
                                         any payment subject to Section 409A that would otherwise have been payable on account
                                         of, and within the first six months following, your Separation from Service will become
                                         payable on the first business day after six months following the Separation Date or,
                                         if earlier, the date of your death.
