EXHIBIT 10.33

RULES AND PROCEDURES

FOR

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM

     The following rules and procedures have been adopted by the Compensation Committee (the
“Committee”) of the Board of Directors of AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (the “Company”) to govern the
deferral by a Non-Employee Director pursuant to Section 7(b) of the AvalonBay Communities, Inc.
1994 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated on December 8, 2004 and as
subsequently amended (the “Plan”). All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning
as used in the Plan unless otherwise specifically provided herein.

     1. Election to Defer. A Non-Employee Director may elect in advance to receive all or
a portion of the cash compensation or Restricted Stock Award otherwise due him in the form of a
Deferred Stock Award. To make such an election, the Non-Employee Director must execute and deliver
to the Company an election form specifying the percentage of his cash compensation he wishes to
defer and whether or not he wishes to receive his Restricted Stock Award in the form of a Deferred
Stock Award. Except with respect to a newly elected or appointed Non-Employee Director, any
election under this paragraph shall apply only to cash fees that are earned with respect to
services to be performed beginning on or after the start of the next calendar year after such
receipt and to stock awards to be granted after the start of the next calendar year. A newly
elected or appointed Non-Employee Director, may, no later than 30 days after becoming a
Non-Employee Director, file a deferral election which shall apply only to cash fees that are earned
with respect to services to be performed subsequent to the election and to stock awards to be
granted subsequent to the election. An election shall remain in effect from year to year, until a
new election becomes effective with respect to cash fees payable, and a stock award to be granted,
in the next calendar year. A Non-Employee Director may revoke or modify his deferral election with
respect to cash fees that are payable, and a stock award to be granted, in the calendar year
beginning after receipt by the Company of his written revocation (for clarification, this means
that in the absence of a revocation or modification, an election will remain in effect for
subsequent calendar years)..

     2. Deferred Account. As of the last day of each calendar quarter, a Non-Employee
Director’s deferred account (“Account”) shall be credited with a number of whole and fractional
stock units determined by dividing his aggregate deferred cash fees for the calendar quarter by the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock. If a Non-Employee Director has elected to receive his
Restricted Stock Award in the form of a Deferred Stock Award, at such time as provided in Section
6(b)(i) of the Plan for issuance of Restricted Stock, his Account shall also be credited with a
number of stock units determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(b)(i) of the Plan. Except
as otherwise provided in the award agreement, the stock units credited in lieu of a Restricted
Stock Award shall vest twenty percent (20%) on the date of issuance and twenty percent (20%) on
each of the four anniversaries of the date of issuance.

     3. Dividend Equivalent Amounts. Whenever dividends (other than dividends payable only
in shares of Stock) are paid with respect to Stock, each Account shall be credited with a number of
whole and fractional stock units determined by multiplying the dividend value per share by the
stock unit balance of the Account on the record date and dividing the result by the Fair Market
Value of a share of Stock on the dividend payment date.

 

 

     4. Period of Deferral. The period of deferral shall cease when a Non-Employee
Director ceases to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

     5. Designation of Beneficiary. A Non-Employee Director may designate one or more
beneficiaries to receive payments from his Account in the event of his death. A designation of
beneficiary shall apply to a specified percentage of a Non-Employee Director’s entire interest in
his Account. Such designation, or any change therein, must be in writing and shall be effective
upon receipt by the Company. If there is no effective designation of beneficiary, or if no
beneficiary survives the Non-Employee Director, the estate of the Non-Employee Director shall be
deemed to be the beneficiary. All payments to a beneficiary or estate shall be made in a lump sum
in shares of Stock, with any fractional share paid in cash.

     6. Payment. All vested stock units credited to a Non-Employee Director’s Account
shall be paid in shares of Stock to the Non-Employee Director, or his designated beneficiary (or
beneficiaries) or estate, in a lump sum within 30 days after the Non-Employee Director ceases to
serve on the Board; provided, however, that fractional shares shall be paid in cash.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in
Section 16(b) of the Plan), all Accounts under this deferred compensation arrangement shall become
immediately payable in a lump sum.

     7. Adjustments. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split or similar change in
capitalization affecting the Stock, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in the number
of stock units credited to Non-Employee Directors’ Accounts.

8. Nontransferability of Rights. During a Non-Employee Director’s lifetime, any
payment under this deferred compensation arrangement shall be made only to him. No sum or
other interest under this deferred compensation arrangement shall be subject in any manner
to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge,
and any attempt by a Non-Employee Director or any beneficiary under this deferred
compensation arrangement to do so shall be void. No interest under this deferred
compensation arrangement shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts,
contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of a Non-Employee Director or beneficiary
entitled thereto.

     9. Company’s Obligations to Be Unfunded and Unsecured. The Accounts maintained under
this deferred compensation arrangement shall at all times be entirely unfunded, and no provision
shall at any time be made with respect to segregating assets of the Company (including Stock) for
payment of any amounts hereunder. No Non-Employee Director or other person shall have any interest
in any particular assets of the Company (including Stock) by reason of the right to receive payment
under this deferred compensation arrangement, and any Non-Employee Director or other person shall
have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any rights
under this deferred compensation arrangement.

Adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on November 20, 2006.exv10w1w1

Re: Modifications to the Scheduled Service Unavailability (SSU) Window 

Dear Mel and Tim:

On November 14, 2006, the LNPA-WG issued a recommendation for service provider maintenance
windows. As a result, the NPAC SSU window must be conformed to the LNPA-WG’s recommendation.
Therefore, effective on January 1, 2007, and for one (I) year thereafter, the following
modifications to Paragraph 1 (Amendment to Exhibit G) of Exhibit 1 (Attachment 3 to SOW 25) of SOW
31 shall take effect:

	 	1.	 	The “20 Hour Requirement” is hereby suspended,
	 
	 	2.	 	The “Sunday Requirement” is hereby amended to read:

0 hours for any day other than Sunday within the month (the “Sunday Requirement”).

	 	3.	 	The “6 am Requirement” is hereby renamed the “SSU Window Requirement”,
and amended to read:

	 	§	 	NeuStar’s Scheduled Service Unavailability must commence no earlier
than and be completed no later than the following schedule:

	 	i.	 	For the first Sunday of each month, no earlier than 00:00:00 CT
and no later than 09:00:00 CT
	 
	 	ii.	 	For subsequent Sundays of each month, no earlier
than 00:00:00 CT and no later than 07:00:00 CT

	 	4.	 	The “Single Event Requirement” is hereby suspended.

So long as the foregoing is in effect, the NAPM and NeuStar also agree to the following
modification to Paragraph 3 (Additional Obligations) of Exhibit 1 (Attachment 3 to SO W25) of SOW
31:

 

 

	 	5.	 	The requirement for an “Advanced Notification” is hereby suspended.
	 
	 	6.	 	The requirement that a “Post Mortem Report” included Planned Down Time
(Start and End Time) and Duration is hereby suspended.

NAPM and NeuStar agree that SLR-21 (Scheduled Service Unavailability Notification) in Exhibit G
(Service Level Requirements) under each of the seven (7), regional Contractor Services Agreement
for NPAC/SMS (the “Master Agreement(s)”) shall be suspended so long as this letter is in effect,
except that Scheduled Service Unavailability Notification shall be sent for maintenance (both
routine and non-routine) taken outside the window set forth in the “SSU Window Requirement,” If the
terms and conditions of the Master Agreements require it, then the NAPM and NeuStar shall amend
Exhibit G to reflect the foregoing without prejudice to NeuStar.

This letter supersedes the October 12, 2005 letter between the parties.

This letter shall automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods unless either party
provides the other with written notice of its intention not to renew no later than thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of the then-applicable one (1) year period.

If the NAPM agrees with this letter, please counter-sign below and return an original to my
attention. As always, I am happy to discuss this matter with you in further detail.

7.0 COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT

Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Exhibit M of the Master Agreement, this SOW does not
entitle Contractor to compensation.

8.0 MASTER AGREEMENT MODIFICATIONS

8.1 Software Escrow Modification

Under Statement of Work No. 11 (SOW11), effective February 1, 1999, Contractor performed certain
Additional Services specifically for the expansion of the current LNPA Billing and Collection
Operations and System to support the requirements mandated in the FCC’s Matter of Telephone Number
Portability, Third Report and Order, CC Docket 95-116, RM 8535, FCC 98-82. Under its express
terms, the Additional Services set forth in Statement of Work No. 11 are not an Enhancement to the
NPAC/SMS, as defined in the Master Agreements.

Nonetheless, Contractor and Customer have agreed to deposit into escrow certain customized code
(the “Customized Modules”) relating to, but separate from, Contractor’s third party billing
software (the “Third Party Billing Software”) used by Contractor to operate the LNPA Billing and
Collection Operations and System. Consequently, the Parties hereby amend Exhibit A (Materials to
be Deposited) to Exhibit M (Software Escrow Agreement) of the Master Agreement as set forth herein.
Nothing contained in this SOW shall be interpreted to require, under the Master Agreement or
otherwise, the deposit into escrow of the Customized Modules or Third Party Billing Software.

8.2 Escrow Agent

The Parties hereby acknowledge that Section 8.1 (Entire Agreement) of the Software Escrow Agreement
allows Contractor and Customer to amend Exhibit A (Materials to be Deposited) of Exhibit M
(Software Escrow Agreement) without the escrow agent’s consent. However, if and to the extent that
any modifications to the Software Escrow Agreement (i.e., Exhibit M to the Master Agreement) set
forth herein require assent by the escrow agent identified therein, Contractor and Customer agree
to in good faith cooperate in causing the escrow agent to assent to the modifications set forth and
agreed to herein.

8.3 Modifications

Exhibit M to the Master Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

     (a) Add the following to the end of the list that comprises Exhibit A to Exhibit M of the
Master Agreement:

	 	•	 	The Customized Modules, if any, supplementing the Third Party Billing
Software that Contractor deploys for billing LNP customers.

     (b) Add the following at the end of Section 1.1 (Obligation to Make Deposit):

	SOW:

	 	No	 	 
	 

	 	þ
	 	Yes	 	 

Contractor and Customer may agree from time to time to the inclusion of other
materials to Exhibit A hereunder as Escrow Materials, whether or not required to be
deposited by the NPAC/SMS Agreements.

     (c) Delete and replace in its entirety subparagraph (d) to Section 1.5 (Contractor’s
Representations) with the following:

d. The Escrow Materials consist of all materials required by the NPAC/SMS Agreement
to be deposited with Escrow Agent and any other materials that Contractor and
Customer may otherwise agree to include as Escrow Materials, whether or not required
to be deposited by the NPAC/SMS Agreement.

9.0 ESTABLISHMENT OF LETTER OF CREDIT

Customer and Contractor agree to the establishment of an irrevocable, stand-by letter of credit
(the “Letter of Credit”) for the benefit of the Customer as resolution of a disagreement between
Contractor and the Customer over escrow obligations concerning Third Party Billing Software used by
NeuStar to bill Allocated Payors. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights to the Letter of Credit
described in this Article 9 are enjoyed by the Customer, and are not extended individually to the
Subscribing Customers.

9.1 Background

SOW11 provided for the performance of Additional Services for “the expansion of the current LNPA
Billing and Collection Operations and System to support the requirements mandated in the FCC’s
Matter of Telephone Number Portability, Third Report and Order,” which Additional Services the
Parties expressly provided in SOW11 “are not an Enhancement to the NPAC SMS.” Contractor
purchased the Third Party Billing Software from PeopleSoft, now known as Oracle USA (“Oracle”),
under a license agreement (the “License Agreement”). Customer requested that Contractor deposit
into escrow the Third Party Billing Software. Contractor responded that it has no rights from
Oracle under the License Agreement to either deposit the Third Party Billing Software into escrow
or otherwise transfer a license to such Third Party Billing Software to any third party, including
Customer.

9.2 Limited Transfer Right

On or about September 26, 2005, Oracle USA, as successor in interest to PeopleSoft, informed
Contractor and the Customer that it would agree to a modification to the License Agreement with
Contractor for the Third Party Billing Software to allow a limited transfer right to the Customer,
under terms and conditions substantially in conformance with the following (the “Amended Terms”);

Divestiture. If another company is created through a divestiture or reorganization
of Customer’s business (“Divested Entity”) or in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency,
impending dissolution of Licensee as an ongoing business or in the event of the

	 	þ
	 	Yes	 	 

termination of one or more of the agreements between the NAPM LLC and NeuStar, Inc., such
Divested Entity may use a portion of the licenses provided under this Ordering Document for
up to six months, on notice to Oracle, provided that the Divested Entity is not a competitor
of Oracle and the Divested Entity agrees in writing to the terms and conditions of this
Ordering Document. During this period, the Divested Entity may use the Programs for either
their business operations or Customer’s business operations. If the Divested Entity wishes
to continue its use of the Programs at the end of the time period specified above, the
Divested Entity must execute a mutually agreeable Ordering Document with Oracle which will
govern its use of the Programs.

Customer has expressed to Contractor its concern that the Amended Terms may require Customer to
make payment to Oracle for an unsatisfied Contractor obligation or liability to Oracle. Contractor
represents that as of June 30, 2005, the annual maintenance fee for the billing portion for the
Third Party Billing Software under the License Agreement equals One Hundred Forty Two Thousand,
Three Hundred Twenty Five Dollars ($142,325) (the “Maintenance Fee”), subject to a four percent
(4%) annual escalation (the “Escalation Factor”).

9.3 Agreement to Establish Letter of Credit

In order to resolve any remaining concerns of the parties with respect to the Third Party Billing
Software, Customer and Contractor hereby agree as follows:

	 	a.	 	Contractor will cause an amendment to the License Agreement to incorporate in
substantial form the Amended Terms.
	 
	 	b.	 	Contractor shall agree that it will assign the License Agreement to the Customer
without recourse if requested by the Customer upon the occurrence of an Assignment Event,
and such refusal to assign the License Agreement to the Customer shall be reason for a draw
of the full amount of the Letter of Credit by Customer.
	 
	 	c.	 	Contractor will establish a single Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Customer,
but not the Subscribing Customer, in the aggregate amount of the greater of (i) $200,000 or
(ii) the amount of the Maintenance Fee subject to the Escalation Factor (such greater
amount the “Escrow Amount”).
	 
	 	d.	 	The Escrow Amount shall be available for the sole purpose of Customer making payment to
Oracle in satisfaction of unsatisfied Contractor obligations or liabilities under the
License Agreement, and for no other purpose.
	 
	 	e.	 	Contractor will notify the Customer of any material change in either (a) the
Maintenance Fee or (b) the Escalation Factor within thirty (30) days after receipt by
Contractor of written notification from Oracle. Contractor shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to update the Escrow Amount of the Letter of Credit promptly to evidence
the modified Maintenance Fee and/or Escalation Factor, and provide that in the event such
Letter of credit cannot be updated, such failure shall be reason for a draw of the Escrow
Amount by the Customer
	 
	 	f.	 	Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the Letter of Credit
as specified herein within sixty (60) days after the last day of execution below.

In consideration of the foregoing, Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees as of the SOW Effective
Date that the Third Party Billing Software, with the exception of Customized Modules prepared by
Contractor, including any Customized Modules that may be created in the future, and which are not
otherwise subject to third party rights, are not subject to the escrow requirements of Section 9.4
under the current Master Agreements, including by way of SOW11. The rights and obligations of
Contractor and Customer under this Paragraph 9.3 shall not be affected by Contractor’s choice of
vendor for the Third Party Billing Software, so long as Contractor otherwise complies with the
requirements set forth in this Paragraph 9.3.

10.0 MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Except as specifically modified and amended hereby, all the provisions of the Master Agreement
and the User Agreements entered into with respect thereto, and all exhibits and schedules thereto,
shall remain unaltered and in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. From and after
the SOW Effective Date hereof, any reference in the Master Agreement to itself and any Article,
Section or subsections thereof or to any Exhibit thereto, or in any User Agreement to itself or to
the Master Agreement and applicable to any time from and after the SOW Effective Date hereof, shall
be deemed to be a reference to such agreement, Article, Section, subsection or Exhibit, as modified
and amended by this. From and after the SOW Effective Date, Statement of Work shall be a part of
the Master Agreement, including its Exhibits, and, as such, shall be subject to the terms and
conditions therein. Each of the respective Master Agreements with respect to separate Service
Areas remains an independent agreement regarding the rights and obligations of each of the Parties
thereto with respect to such Service Area, and neither this SOW nor any other instrument shall join
or merge any Master Agreement with any other, except by the express written agreement of the
Parties thereto.

10.2 This SOW may be executed in two or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document. All
such counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

10.3 If at any time hereafter a Customer, other than a Customer that is a party hereto desires to
become a party hereto, such Customer may become a party hereto by executing a joinder agreeing to
be bound by the terms and conditions of this SOW, as modified from time to time.

10.4 This SOW is the joint work product of representatives of Customer and Contractor; accordingly,
