Third Amendment to the Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement
This Third Amendment, dated as of February 9, 2024 (this “Third Amendment”), to the Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2016, is among Physicians Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”), Physicians Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Parent Guarantor and, together with the Issuer, the “Obligors”), and each of the institutions which is a signatory to this Third Amendment (collectively, the “Noteholders”).
Recitals:
    A.    The Obligors and each of the Purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto have heretofore entered into the Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2016 (as amended, the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Issuer has heretofore issued (i) $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.43% Senior Notes, Series B, due January 7, 2026 (the “Series B Notes”), (ii) $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.57% Senior Notes, Series C, due January 7, 2028 (the “Series C Notes”) and (iii) $45,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.74% Senior Notes, Series D, due January 7, 2031 (the “Series D Notes,” collectively with the Series B Notes and the Series C Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Noteholders are the holders of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.
    B.    The Obligors and the Noteholders now desire to amend the Note Purchase Agreement in the respects, but only in the respects hereinafter set forth.
    C.    Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement unless herein defined or the context shall otherwise require.
    D.    All requirements of law have been fully complied with and all other acts and things necessary to make this Third Amendment a valid, legal and binding instrument according to its terms for the purposes herein expressed have been done or performed.
Now, therefore, upon the full and complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Third Amendment set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, and in consideration of good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Obligors and the Noteholders do hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.    Amendments.
    Section 1.1.    Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be and is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 8.2 Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes
    -1-


in an amount not less than $10,000,000 in the aggregate in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Issuer will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 (except as provided in the following proviso) not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment; provided that such notice may state that such prepayment is conditioned upon the occurrence of the “Closing” as defined in and pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 29, 2023 among the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor, Healthpeak Properties, Inc., DOC DR Holdco, LLC (formerly known as Alpine Sub, LLC) and DOC DR, LLC (formerly known as Alpine OP Sub, LLC), as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”), in which case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2, (i) such notice may be given less than thirty (30) days prior to, but shall be given not less than five (5) Business Days prior to, the prepayment date specified therein (which may be a date determined by reference to the satisfaction of certain conditions), (ii) such notice may be revoked by the Issuer (by written notice to each holder of Notes on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if the Mergers (as defined in the Merger Agreement) are not consummated on or prior to such date (in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall be entitled to deliver a new notice pursuant to clause (i) hereof on or after such date) and (iii) the prepayment date may, by written notice to each holder of Notes on or prior to the specified prepayment date, be delayed until the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) occurs; provided further that the date specified for such prepayment in any notice delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso (including as such date may be extended pursuant to clause (iii)) shall not be later than September 30, 2024. Each such notice shall (subject to clause (i) in the immediately preceding sentence) specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two (2)
    -2-


Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Issuer shall deliver to each holder of Notes an Officer’s Certificate specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified or anticipated prepayment date.”

    (c)    the execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of this Third Amendment (i) has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Obligor, (ii) does not require the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body or agency and (iii) will not violate in any material respect any provision of any Applicable Laws relating to such Obligor, any of the Organizational Documents of such Obligor, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on such Obligor; and
    (d)    as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Third Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred which is continuing.

    Section 4.2.    Any and all notices, requests, certificates and other instruments executed and delivered after the execution and delivery of this Third Amendment may refer to the Note Purchase Agreement without making specific reference to this Third Amendment but nevertheless all such references shall include this Third Amendment unless the context otherwise requires.
    Section 4.3.    The descriptive headings of the various Sections or parts of this Third Amendment are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
