OF HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST INCORPORATED

This Amendment to the Executive Incentive Program (this “Amendment”) is entered
into effective August 4, 2015 by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of
the Board of Directors of Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, on July 31, 2012, the Committee approved the Healthcare Realty Trust
Incorporated Executive Incentive Program (the “Executive Program”), which
provides for the issuance of shares of restricted stock to named executive
officers of the Company under the 2007 Employees Stock Incentive Plan, which was
approved by the shareholders of the Company on May 15, 2007 and amended by the
Company on December 21, 2007 (the “2007 Plan”);
WHEREAS, on May 12, 2015, the Company’s shareholders approved the Healthcare
Realty Trust Incorporated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”);
WHEREAS, the 2015 Plan supersedes the 2007 Plan by its terms with respect to
grants of awards that occur after May 12, 2015; and
WHEREAS, the Committee and Board of Directors desire to continue the Executive
Program under the 2015 Plan.
AMENDMENT:
1.
Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the
meanings attributed to such terms in the 2007 Plan, the 2015 Plan, and/or the
Executive Program, as applicable.

2.
Amendment. With respect to any grants of awards under the Executive Program that
occur after May 12, 2015, all references in the Executive Program to the 2007
Plan are hereby deleted and the 2015 Plan is inserted in the stead thereof. For
any awards under the Stock Programs that were granted on May 12, 2015 or
earlier, the terms of the 2007 Plan shall continue to control.

3.
Miscellaneous. Nothing contained herein will confer upon any Participant the
right to be retained in the service of the Company, nor will it interfere with
the Company’s right to discharge or otherwise deal with Participants without
regard to the existence of this Amendment. In the event that it shall become
impossible for the Company to perform any act required by the Amendment due to
regulatory or other constraints, the Company may perform such alternative acts
as most nearly carries out the intent and purpose of this Amendment and is in
the best interests of the Company, provided that such alternative acts do not
violate Code Section 409A. This Amendment shall be interpreted and administered
consistent with Code Section 409A.

4.
Reaffirmation. All other terms and conditions of the Executive Program are
herein reaffirmed in their entirety.

5.
Term. The Executive Program, as amended hereby, shall continue in effect as long
as the 2015 Plan is in effect or until terminated by the Committee.
