Acquired Indebtedness shall be deemed to be Incurred on the date the acquired Person becomes a Consolidated Subsidiary or the date of the related acquisition, as the case may be. “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life. “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the arithmetic average of Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Operating Partnership obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the arithmetic average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations. “Consolidated Financial Statements” means, collectively, the consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements of the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP. “Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service” means, for any period of time, the Consolidated Net Income of the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period, plus amounts which have been deducted and minus amounts which have been added for, without duplication: (1) Interest Expense on Indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries; (2) provision for taxes of the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries based on income; (3) depreciation, amortization and all other non-cash items deducted at arriving at Consolidated Net Income; (4) provision for gains and losses on sales or other dispositions of properties and other investments;

In each case for such period, the Operating Partnership will reasonably determine amounts in accordance with GAAP, except to the extent GAAP is not applicable with respect to the determination of non-cash and non-recurring items. “Consolidated Net Income” means, for any period of time, the amount of net income, or loss, for the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period, excluding, without duplication, extraordinary items and the portion of net income, but not losses, for the Operating Partnership and its Consolidated Subsidiaries allocable to non-controlling interests in unconsolidated Persons to the extent that cash dividends or distributions allocable to non- controlling interests in unconsolidated Persons have not actually been received by the Operating Partnership or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, all determined in accordance with GAAP. “Consolidated Subsidiary” means each of the Operating Partnership’s Subsidiaries that is consolidated in the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. “EDGAR” means the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system. “GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as in effect on the date of any required calculation or determination. “Incur” means, with respect to any Indebtedness or other obligation of the Operating Partnership or any Consolidated Subsidiary, to create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect of the Indebtedness or other obligation, and “Incurrence” and “Incurred” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.  Indebtedness or other obligations of the Operating Partnership or any Consolidated Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred by the Operating Partnership or such Consolidated Subsidiary whenever the Operating Partnership or such Consolidated Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof.  Indebtedness or other obligations of a Consolidated Subsidiary existing prior to the time it became a Consolidated Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred upon such Subsidiary becoming a Consolidated Subsidiary.  Indebtedness or other obligations of a Person existing prior to a merger or consolidation of such Person with the Operating Partnership or any Consolidated Subsidiary in which such Person is the successor to the Operating Partnership or such Consolidated Subsidiary will be deemed to be Incurred upon the consummation of such merger or consolidation.  Any issuance or transfer of capital stock that results in Indebtedness constituting Intercompany Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Trust, the 





 






 4  Operating Partnership or any Consolidated Subsidiary, or any sale or other transfer of any Indebtedness constituting Intercompany Indebtedness to a Person that is not the Trust, the Operating Partnership or any Consolidated Subsidiary, will be deemed, in each case, to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness that is not Intercompany Indebtedness at the time of such issuance, transfer or sale, as the case may be. “Indebtedness” means, without duplication, any indebtedness of the Operating Partnership or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, whether or not contingent, in respect of:   (a)  borrowed money evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments;   (b) indebtedness for borrowed money of a Person which is secured by any lien on property owned by the Operating Partnership or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, but only to the extent of the lesser of (i) the amount of indebtedness so secured and (ii) the fair market value (determined in good faith by the board of directors of the General Partner) of the property subject to such lien;   (c)  the reimbursement obligations, contingent or otherwise, in connection with any letters of credit actually issued or amounts representing the balance deferred and unpaid of the purchase price of any property or services, except any such balance that constitutes an accrued expense or trade payable; or  (d) any lease of property by the Operating Partnership or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries as lessee which is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as a capitalized lease in accordance with GAAP,  to the extent, in the case of indebtedness under clauses (a) through (c) above, that any such items (other than letters of credit) would appear as a liability in the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. Indebtedness also includes, to the extent not otherwise included, any obligation by the Operating Partnership or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to be liable for, or to pay, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise (other than for purposes of collection in the ordinary course of business), indebtedness of another Person (other than the Operating Partnership or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries) of the type described in clauses (a) through (d) of this definition. “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Operating Partnership. “Intercompany Indebtedness” means Indebtedness to which the only parties are any of the Trust, the Operating Partnership and any Consolidated Subsidiary; provided, however, that with respect to any such Indebtedness of which the Trust or the Operating Partnership is the borrower, such Indebtedness is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes. “Interest Expense” means, for any period of time, the maximum amount payable for interest on, and original issue discount of, Indebtedness, determined in accordance with GAAP.

   [REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] PHYSICIANS REALTY L.P. 4.300% Senior Notes due 2027 1. Indenture This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Issuer, designated as its 4.300% Senior Notes due 2027 (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of March 7, 2017, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of March 7, 2017 (collectively, herein called the “Indenture”), among PHYSICIANS REALTY L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (such company, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), PHYSICIANS REALTY TRUST as guarantor (the “Guarantor”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto relevant to the Securities reference is hereby made for a complete description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Holders of the Securities. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Security shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture. Each Security is subject to, and qualified by, all such terms as set forth in the Indenture, certain of which are summarized herein, and each Holder of a Security is referred to the corresponding provisions of the Indenture for a complete statement of such terms. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between the summary provisions set forth in the Securities and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern. 2. Interest The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on March 15 and Sepetember 15 of each year, commencing  September 15, 2017. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from March 7, 2017. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 3. Paying Agent and Registrar  Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, registrar or co-registrar. 4. Defaults and Remedies; Waiver 





 






  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities, subject to certain limitations, may declare the principal of, premium if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities due and payable immediately. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder of outstanding Securities. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnification. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power under the Indenture. At any time after the principal of the Securities shall have been so declared due and payable (or have become immediately due and payable), and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding under the Indenture, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if any and all existing Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Securities, other than the nonpayment of principal, premium, or interest on Securities that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.04 of the Indenture. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except a Default in the payment of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on a Security. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. 5. Amendment The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment of the Indenture or this Security and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities) affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by written notice to the Trustee to waive an existing Default with respect to the Securities and its consequences except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on a Security. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. 6. Obligations Absolute 





 






  No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. 7. Sinking Fund The Securities will not have the benefit of any sinking fund. 8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange The Securities are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Securities. The Issuer and the Registrar shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the sending of a notice of redemption of Securities selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such sending or (b) to register the transfer or exchange of Securities selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part. 9. Further Issues The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities and in accordance with the Indenture, provide for the issuance of additional Securities. 10. Optional Redemption The Securities may be redeemed at the Issuer’s option, upon notice as set forth in the Indenture, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on the terms set forth in the Indenture. 11. Persons Deemed Owners The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the register maintained by the Registrar. 12. No Recourse Against Others No shareholder, partner, manager, member, director, officer, employee, agent or incorporator, as such, of the Issuer or the Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Securities or the Indenture, or the Guarantor under its Guarantee or the Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of 





 






  or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. This waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. 13. Discharge and Defeasance Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture with respect to the Securities if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to redemption or Maturity, as the case may be. 14. Unclaimed Money Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or, if then held by the Issuer, shall be discharged from such trust. Thereafter the Holder of such Security shall look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 15. Guarantee The payment by the Issuer of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Securities is guaranteed by the Guarantor to the extent set forth in the Indenture. 16. Trustee Dealings with the Issuer Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. 17. Abbreviations Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 18.
