RECITALS

American Campus Communities Services, Inc. (the "Plan Sponsor”), a Maryland corporation, has adopted the American Campus Communities Services, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan'') for the purpose of attracting and retaining a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

The Plan is an unfunded arrangement established and maintained primarily for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees and is intended to be exempt from the participation, vesting, funding, and fiduciary requirements set forth in Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

By way of clarification, Discretionary Contributions and/or Matching Contributions shall not be distributable as a Scheduled Distribution. For Plan Years commencing prior to January 1, 2020, Participants were not permitted to elect a Scheduled Distribution.

(c)Modification of Distribution Elections. A distribution election with respect to previously deferred amounts may only be changed under the terms and conditions specified in Code Section 409A and this Section. Except as permitted under Code Section 409A, no acceleration of a distribution is permitted. A subsequent election that delays payment or changes the form of payment for a Scheduled Distribution or an amount distributable upon Separation from Service shall be permitted if and only ifall of the following requirements are met:

(i) the new election does not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the new election is made;

(ii) in the case of payments made on account of Separation from Service or a Scheduled Distribution, the new election delays payment for at least five (5) years from the date that payment would otherwise have been made, absent the new election; and

(iii) in the case of payments made according to a Scheduled Distribution, the new election is made not less than twelve (12) months before the date on which payment would have been made (or, in the case of installment payments, the first installment payment would have been made) absent the new election.

For purposes of application of the above change limitations, installment payments shall be treated as a single payment under Code Section 409A. For purposes of the form and timing of distributions of the 2015-2019 Plan Year Amount, including, without limitation, for purposes of the submission of any modification to a Separation from Service distribution election, the 2015-2019 Plan Year Amount shall deemed to be amounts attributable to a single Plan Year that are governed by a single form of payment election. Only one (1) change shall be allowed to be made by a Participant with respect to each Plan Year’s election regarding the benefits to be received by such Participant upon Separation from Service. Further, only one (1) change shall be allowed to be made by a Participant with respect to each Plan Year’s election for a Scheduled Distribution, if any (and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Participant who does not optionally elect a Scheduled Distribution for a particular Plan Year in accordance with Section 2.2 is not permitted to later add a Scheduled Distribution for such Plan Year). Election changes made pursuant to this Section shall be made in accordance with rules established by the Committee and shall comply with all requirements of Code Section 409A and applicable authorities.

Such election shall be made separately for each Plan Year’s deferrals and contributions for Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2020 in accordance with the timing for submission of the applicable deferral elections under Section 2.2. For Plan Years commencing prior to January 1, 2020, Participants designated on the Participant's initial Deferral Election Agreement the form of distribution applicable upon Separation from Service for all amounts deferred or contributed as to all such Plan Years (that is, the 2015-2019 Plan Year Amounts are governed by a single form of payment election). If the Participant has not made a valid election asto the form of payment for one or more Plan Years, payment of that Plan Year’s deferrals and contributions upon a Separation from Service shall be made in one lump sum.

(b) Time of Payment. Vested Plan Year Balances and Stock Deferrals shall become payable on the first

business day of the month following the date that is six (6) months following the date of the Participant's Separation from Service. The applicable amount shall be valued as of the last business day of the sixth month following the month in which the Separation from Service occurs. If an installment form of distribution is elected, annual installment payments subsequent to the first payment shall become payable on each succeeding anniversary of the date the first installment was payable, and shall be valued as of the last business day of the month preceding such payment. In the event of a modification to a distribution election for a Plan Year, commencement shall be delayed in accordance with Section 7.1(c).

(c) Distribution to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Participant is a Specified Employee and incurs a Separation from Service for a reason other than death, distribution of such Participant's Balance or Stock Deferrals may not commence earlier than the first business day of the month following the date that is six (6) months following the date of his or her Separation from Service.

The portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to General Deferrals and Stock Deferrals for a Plan Year that are subject to a Scheduled Distribution are payable in one of the following forms, as elected by the Participant: (i) in a lump sum payment (which shall apply as the default form of payment if a Participant elects an optional Scheduled Distribution but fails to specify the form of payment) or (ii) in annual installments up to five (5) years. Such election may be made separately for each Plan Year’s General Deferrals and Stock Deferrals for Plan Years commencing on or after January 1, 2020in accordance with the timing for submission of the applicable deferral elections under Section 2.2.

The applicable amount shall be valued as of the last business day of the December preceding the selected Plan Year for commencement of the Scheduled Distribution. If an installment form of distribution is elected, annual installment payments subsequent to the first installment shall become payable in each succeeding January, and shall be valued as of the last business day of the December preceding such payment. In the event of a modification to a distribution election for a Plan Year, commencement shall be delayed in accordance with Section 7.1(c).

(c) Relationship to Other Benefits.

(i) In the event of a Participant’s Separation from Service or death prior to the initial payment date for commencement of a Scheduled Distribution, such Scheduled Distribution shall not be distributed under this Section, but rather shall be distributed in accordance with the other applicable Section of this Article VII.

(ii) In the event of a Participant’s Separation from Service other than by reason of death afterone or more Scheduled Distributions has commenced installment payments, such Scheduled Distribution(s) shall continue to be paid at the same time and in the same form as if the Separation from Service had not occurred.

(iii) In the event of a Participant’s death after one or more Scheduled Distributions has commenced installment payments, the remaining distributable amount of such Scheduled Distribution(s) shall be distributed in accordance with Section 7.4.

7.4    Payment upon Death of Participant. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, effective as of January 1, 2021, in the event that the Participant dies prior to complete distribution of his or her Accounts under the Plan, the Participant’s beneficiary (as determined in accordance with Article VIII) shall receive a death benefit equal to the vested Accounts (or remaining vested Accounts in the event installment payments have

commenced) in a lump sum following the Participant’s death. Such lump sum shall be valued as of the last business day of the month in which the Participant’s death occurs and shall become payable as of the first business day of the month following the month in which the death occurs.

7.5Payment of Balances upon Unforeseeable Emergency. If a Participant incurs an Unforeseeable Emergency prior to a Separation from Service, then upon the written request of the Participant, the Plan Committee may direct that so much of the Participant's Balance as it determines is necessary to alleviate the condition giving rise to the Unforeseeable Emergency be distributed to or for the benefit of the Participant. A distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be made as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days following the Committee’s determination that an Unforeseeable Emergency occurred. For purposes of this Plan, an "Unforeseeable Emergency" shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant's spouse, beneficiary, or a dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a), without regard to Code Section 152(b)(l); (b)(2), or (d)(l)(B)) of the Participant, loss of the Participant's property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. An Unforeseeable Emergency shall be deemed to exist only if the Plan Committee so determines in its sole discretion. An Unforeseeable Emergency will not be deemed to exist to the extent that it is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant's assets, (to the extent that such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship), or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan.

Each Participant may at any time and from time to time, change any previous beneficiary designation, without notice to or consent of any previously designated beneficiary, by amending his or her previous designation on a form prescribed by the Plan Committee, which shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Plan Committee (or its authorized delegate) during the Participant’s lifetime.

8.3Determination of Beneficiary.

(a)If the beneficiary does not survive the Participant (or is otherwise unavailable to receive payment), if the beneficiary does not survive until the final payment is made to the Participant, or if no beneficiary is validly designated, then the amounts payable under this Plan (or any remaining amount, as the case may be) shall be paid to the Participant's designated contingent beneficiary, if any, and, if none, to the Participant's surviving spouse, if any, and if none, to the Participant’s estate, and such applicable person shall be deemed to be a beneficiary hereunder.

(b)If more than one person is the beneficiary of a deceased Participant, each such person shall receive a pro rata share of any death benefit payable unless otherwise designated on the applicable form.

(c)If a beneficiary who is receiving benefits dies, all benefits that were payable to such beneficiary shall then be payable to the estate of that beneficiary.

(d)If the Plan Committee has any doubt as to the proper beneficiary to receive payments hereunder, the Plan Sponsor shall have the right to withhold such payments until the matter is finally adjudicated.

Any such presumption of death shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

Article IX - Funding

9.1Prohibition Against Funding. Benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Plan Sponsor, or at the discretion of the Plan Sponsor, from assets set aside in a rabbi trust for deferring the cost of providing the benefits due under this Plan; provided, however, that no person entitled to payment under this Plan shall have any claim, right, priority, security interest, or other interest in any fund, trust, account, or other asset of the Plan Sponsor that may be looked to for such payment. The liability for the payment of benefits hereunder shall be evidenced only by this Plan and by the existence of bookkeeping accounts established and maintained by the Plan Sponsor for purposes of this Plan. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that this arrangement shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

9.2Deposits in RabbiTrust. Notwithstanding Section 9.1, or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Plan Sponsor may deposit into the Trust any amounts it deems appropriate to pay the benefits under this Plan.

10.2Claim Review. Upon receipt of any written claim for benefits by the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative, the Plan Committee shall be notified and shall give due consideration to the claim presented. The Plan Committee will provide the claimant with notice of the Plan Committee’s decision on the claim within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed, unless the Plan Committee determines that special circumstances beyond the control of the Plan require an extension of time, in which case the Plan Committee may have up to an additional ninety (90) days to process the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the claim is for benefits based on a disability determination (a “disability claim”), the claimant shall be notified of the Plan Committee’s decision on the claim within forty-five (45) days after the claim is filed, which may be extended twice for an additional thirty (30) days each time if special circumstances require. If the Plan Committee determines that an extension of time for processing is required for any claim, the Plan Committee shall furnish written notice of the extension to the claimant before the end of the initial ninety (90) day period (or in the case of a disability claim, the initial (forty-five (45) day period). Any notice of extension shall describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Plan Committee expects to render its decision. If an extension is due to the claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to decide the claim, the notice of extension will afford the claimant a period at least 45 days to provide the required information, and the Plan Committee’s deadline to provide notice of the denial will be tolled from the date the Plan Committee sends the notice of extension to the earlier of (1) the date the Plan Committee receives the requested information or

(2) the expiration of the period afforded to the claimant to provide the requested information. If the claimant fails to provide the requested information by the expiration of the afforded period, the benefit determination will be made without regard to the requested information.

If the claim is denied to any extent by the Plan Committee, the Plan Committee shall furnish the claimant with a written notice setting forth (in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant):

(a)the specific reason or reasons for denial of the claim;

(b)a specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

(c)a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

(d)an explanation of the provisions of this Article, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on appeal; and

(e)for a disability claim, the following additional information:

(1) if the denial is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either (i) an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the claimant’s medical circumstances or (ii) a statement that such explanation will be provided free of charge upon request;

(2) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: (i) the views presented by the claimant to the Plan Committee of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant, (ii) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with a denial of a claimant’s disability claim, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the denial, and (iii) a disability determination made by the Social Security Administration regarding the claimant and presented by the claimant to the Plan Committee;

(3) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, or other information relevant to the claimant’s disability claim; and

(4) either (i) the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards, or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in making the denial or (ii) a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards, or other similar criteria of the Plan do not exist.

10.3Right of Appeal. A claimant who has a claim denied under Section 10.2 may appeal to the Plan Committee for reconsideration of that claim. A request for reconsideration under this Section must be filed by written notice within sixty (60) days (one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of disability claim) after receipt by the claimant of the notice of denial under Section 10.2.

10.4    Review of Appeal. Upon receipt of an appeal, the Plan Committee shall promptly take action to give due consideration to the appeal. Such consideration may include a hearing of the parties involved, if the Plan Committee determines such a hearing is necessary. In preparing for this appeal, the claimant shall be given the right to review documents relevant to the benefit claim and the right to submit a written statement of issues, written comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant, all of which information will be taken into account in reviewing the appeal regardless of whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. In the case of a disability claim, the claimant may, upon request, obtain from the Plan Committee

the identity of any medical or vocational expert whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the benefit denial. In the case of a disability claim, the appeal will be reviewed by a named fiduciary of the Plan who is neither an individual who made a prior denial in connection with the disability claim nor a subordinate of any such individual, and deference will not be afforded to any prior denial of the disability claim. If the prior denial of the disability claim is based in whole or in part on a medical judgment, the Plan Committee will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment and who is neither an individual consulted in connection with the prior denial nor a subordinate of any such individual. In addition, before issuing a denial of a disability claim on review, the Plan Committee will provide the claimant with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the Plan or the Plan Committee (or at the direction of the Plan or the Plan Committee) in connection with the applicable disability claim being reviewed and any new or additional rationale on which the Plan Committee intends to base the denial on review. Such new or additional evidence and/or rationale will be provided free of charge as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notification of the denial on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.

10.5    Appeal Decision. After consideration of the merits of the appeal, the Plan Committee shall issue a written decision, which shall be binding on all parties. The Plan Committee’s decision shall beissued within sixty (60) days (forty-five (45) days in the case of a disability claim) after the Plan Committee’s receipt of the request for appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days (ninety (90) days in the case of a disability claim) after receipt of the request for appeal. If the Plan Committee determines that an extension of time for processing is required for any claim, the Plan Committee shall furnish written notice of the extension to the claimant before the end of the initial sixty (60) day period (or in the case of a disability claim, the initial forty-five (45) day period). Any notice of extension shall describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Plan Committee expects to render its decision. If an extension is due to the claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to review the claim, the notice of extension will afford the claimant at least 45 days to provide the required information, and the Plan Committee’s deadline to provide notice of the denial on review will be tolled from the date the Plan Committee sends the notice of extension to the earlier of (1) the date the Plan Committee receives the requested information or (2) the expiration of the period afforded to the claimant to provide the requested information. If the claimant fails to provide the requested information by the expiration of the afforded period, the benefit determination will be made without regard to the requested information.

10.6    Contents of Appeal Denial Notice.If the Plan Committee’s appeal decision is a denial to any extent, the written notice of the decision shall set forth (in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant):

(4) A description of the applicable contractual limitations period for the claimant to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA, including the calendar date on which such contractual limitations period will expire.

10.7Designation. The Plan Committee may designate one or more of its members or any other person of its choosing to make any determination otherwise required under this Article.

10.8Claims Procedures Mandatory. The internal claims procedures set forth in this Article X are mandatory, and completion of such claims procedures is a condition precedent to the commencement of any legal or equitable action in connection with a claim for benefits under the Plan by a claimant or any other person or entity claiming rights individually or through a claimant. If a claimant fails to follow these claim procedures, or to timely file a request for appeal in accordance with this Article X, the denial of the claim shall become final and binding on all persons for all purposes.

10.9    Limitations Period. No legal or equitable action may be commenced by any Employee, former Employee, director, former director, authorized representative, or any other person or entity claiming benefits or additional benefits under the Plan later than two years after the date such claim accrues.
