 Exhibit 10.9 
 SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 This SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is dated as of July     , 2013, by and among B.C. Ziegler and Company, a Wisconsin corporation (“Ziegler”), Physicians Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the
“REIT”) and Physicians Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”, the REIT and Operating Partnership, collectively referred to herein as “PRT”). Capitalized terms used herein shall have
the meanings given thereto in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below). 
 WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, Ziegler is the current Manager of Ziegler Healthcare Real Estate Fund I, LLC, Ziegler Healthcare Real Estate Fund II, LLC,
Ziegler Healthcare Real Estate Fund III, LLC and Ziegler Healthcare Real Estate Fund IV, LP (together, the “Funds”) and as such, provides certain administration services to the Funds; 

WHEREAS, PRT and the Funds have entered into certain Contribution Agreements pursuant to which the Operating Partnership will acquire all
of the ownership interest in the direct and indirect property owning subsidiaries of the Funds in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership; 

WHEREAS, PRT desires to have Ziegler provide certain administrative services similar to that which was provided to the Funds, the REIT
and the Operating Partnership as set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, subject to the terms, conditions, covenants and provisions
of this Agreement, Ziegler, the REIT and the Operating Partnership intending to be legally bound mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 SERVICES PROVIDED 

1.1 Shared Services. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Ziegler will provide each of those
services (hereinafter referred to individually as a “Shared Service” and collectively as the “Shared Services”) set forth in Schedule A hereto to PRT during the Term (as defined in
Section 4.1). If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, PRT becomes aware of any other service that it deems is necessary or desirable for the operation of the business then PRT shall notify Ziegler in writing of such additional
service, and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the scope, terms, cost, and duration of the additional services. Upon the mutual agreement of the parties regarding the scope, terms, and duration of such additional
service, the parties shall amend Schedule A hereto to reflect the terms of such additional service and treat such additional service as a Shared Service for the purposes of this Agreement. At least annually, the parties shall review the list
of Shared Services set forth on Schedule A and make any adjustments as the parties shall mutually agree are necessary or desirable. 

  
 1 








 1.2 Personnel. In providing the Shared Services, Ziegler may (i) use the
personnel of Ziegler or its affiliates, including, without limitation, the Ziegler Companies, Inc., and (ii) employ the services of third parties, subject to PRT’s prior approval, if the expense of those third parties is to be paid by PRT.
The employees, agents and representatives used by Ziegler in providing the Shared Services shall be under the direction, control and supervision of Ziegler (or its affiliates), and Ziegler shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with
respect to the employment or engagement (including termination of employment or engagement), assignment and compensation of such employees, agents and representatives. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the REIT and the Operating Partnership
acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to require or specify any particular individual perform any of the Shared Services hereunder, nor does it have a right to prohibit any individual from performing any of the Shared Services so long as such
individual is performing comparable services for the Ziegler or any of its other affiliates. The parties recognize that PRT will make all decisions and operating decisions of its business and be solely responsible for the consequences of its
decisions and providing the factual background for Ziegler to provide the Shared Service. 
 1.3 Representatives. Ziegler
and PRT shall each nominate a representative to act as its primary contact person to coordinate the provision of all of the Shared Services (collectively, the “Primary Coordinators”). Each Primary Coordinator may designate one or
more service coordinators for each specific Shared Service (the “Service Coordinators”). Each party may treat an act of a Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator of another party as being authorized by such other party without
inquiring behind such act or ascertaining whether such Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator had authority to so act; provided, however, that no such Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator has authority to amend this Agreement.
Ziegler and PRT shall advise each other promptly (in any case no more than five (5) business days) in writing of any change in the Primary Coordinators and any Service Coordinator for a particular Shared Service, setting forth the name of the
Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator to be replaced and the name of the replacement, and certifying that the replacement Primary Coordinator or Service Coordinator is authorized to act for such party in all matters relating to this Agreement,
in the case of a Primary Coordinator or, in the case of a Service Coordinator, with respect to the Shared Service for which such Service Coordinator has been designated. Ziegler, the REIT and the Operating Partnership each agree that all
communications relating to the provision of the Shared Services shall be directed to the Service Coordinators for such Shared Service with copies to the Primary Coordinators. Ziegler’s initial Primary Coordinator shall be Angelique David.
PRT’s initial Primary Coordinator shall be John Sweet. For each Shared Service, Ziegler’s and PRT’s initial Service Coordinator is set forth on Schedule A adjacent to the applicable Shared Service. 

1.4 Level of Transition Services. 
 (a) The Shared Services shall be provided substantially in a manner, at a level of service, and with the same degree of care and diligence, as if such services had been provided to the Funds and shall not
be greater than the services which Ziegler provides to its internal organization. The Shared Services will be performed in Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as historically provided, or such other location as Ziegler determines in its sole
discretion with reasonable notice to the REIT, if Ziegler utilizes personnel in any 

  
 2 








 
other locations. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Ziegler to favor PRT’s business over Ziegler’s own businesses or those of any of its affiliates or subsidiaries;
provided, that Ziegler accords to PRT no less than the same priority under comparable circumstances as Ziegler has provided the Funds in accordance with recent past practices. 

(b) In addition to being subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the provision of the Shared Services, Ziegler, the
REIT and the Operating Partnership each agree that the Shared Services provided by third parties shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any agreements between Ziegler and such third parties. Unless otherwise approved in advance by PRT, the
costs of services provided by such third parties, shall be included in the Annual Fee paid by PRT under Section 2.1 below. Any such agreements entered into after the date hereof shall be on substantially the same conditions as Ziegler would
enter into with such third parties for its own account, and no such agreements shall be binding on the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership after the Term hereof without the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership’s express written consent.
Ziegler shall consult with the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership concerning the terms and conditions of any such agreements to be entered into, or proposed to be entered into, with third parties after the date hereof. 

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Ziegler will provide notice to the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership of any upgrades
or new equipment that will be utilized to provide the Shared Services hereunder. If the equipment is dedicated or used solely by the REIT, and is available for the REIT to keep upon termination of the Shared Services Agreement, the REIT and/or the
Operating Partnership will pay all costs associated therewith. 
 1.5 Limitation of Liability. 

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Shared Services are provided by Ziegler: (i) at the request of the REIT and/or the
Operating Partnership in order to accommodate it following the contribution of the assets of the Funds, and (ii) with the expectation that Ziegler is not assuming any implied obligation, control over the REIT or the Operating Partnership,
decision-making authority, financial or operational risks, except for those risks explicitly set forth herein. ACCORDINGLY, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT, ABSENT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN CONNECTION WITH EACH PARTY’S PERFORMANCE
HEREUNDER, EACH PARTY, ITS RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, CONSULTANTS AND AGENTS, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE, OR FOR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SHARED SERVICES OR ZIEGLER’S PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL ZIEGLER’S
LIABILITY RELATED TO SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE COMPENSATION ACTUALLY PAID TO ZIEGLER HEREUNDER FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, ZIEGLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY
WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT 

  
 3 








 
LIMITED TO, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED HEREUNDER. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event Ziegler commits an error with respect to or incorrectly performs or fails to perform any Shared Service, at REIT’s and/or the Operating Partnership’s request within a reasonable time
thereafter, Ziegler shall use reasonable efforts and in good faith attempt to correct such error, re-perform or perform such Shared Service at no additional cost to the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership. Nothing contained in this
Section 1.5 shall relieve the REIT and the Operating Partnership of its obligation to pay when due all fees and expenses owed to Ziegler hereunder. 
 1.6 Indemnity. 
 The REIT and the Operating Partnership, jointly and
severally agree to indemnify and hold Ziegler and its subsidiaries and affiliates, successors and assigns, and persons serving as officers, directors, managers, partners or employees, agents, or representatives thereof (each a “Ziegler
Party”) harmless from and against any damages, liabilities, losses, taxes, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (each, a “Damage” and, collectively, the “Damages”) (including, without limitation, reasonable
fees of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing) which may be sustained or suffered by any of them arising
out of, in connection with, based on, or by virtue of: (i) any non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant under this Agreement or any gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership; (ii) a
Ziegler Party’s performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, a Ziegler Party’s adherence to instructions given by the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership’s Primary Coordinator, a Service Coordinator, or other
person who a Ziegler Party reasonably believes is authorized to act on behalf of the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership; or (iii) any act or failure to act by the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership or by any third party not under the
control of Ziegler to the extent the Damages relate to the subject matter of this Agreement, in each case, except to the extent such Damages are sustained or suffered arising out of, in connection with, based on, or by virtue of the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Ziegler in performing the Shared Services hereunder. Neither the REIT nor the Operating Partnership will, however, be responsible for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses which are finally judicially
determined to have resulted directly and primarily from Ziegler’s bad faith or gross negligence. 
 1.7 Force
Majeure. Any failure or omission by a party in the performance of any obligation under this Agreement shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement or create any liability, if the same arises from any cause or causes beyond the control of such
party, which are not reasonably foreseeable, including, but not limited to, the following, which, for purposes of this Agreement shall be regarded as beyond the control of each of the parties hereto: acts of God, fire, storm, flood, performance by
third parties, earthquake, governmental regulation or direction, acts of the public enemy, war, rebellion, insurrection riot, invasion, strike or lockout; provided, that such party shall resume the performance whenever such causes are
removed. 

  
 4 








 1.8 Modification of Procedures. Subject to the procedure set forth in this
Section 1.8 to the extent applicable, Ziegler may make changes from time to time in its standards and procedures for performing the Shared Services, provided that any such change shall be made with respect to all or a significant
portion of such Ziegler’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, unless Ziegler reasonably believes such change is required by law, rule or regulation. Ziegler shall not implement any substantial changes affecting PRT unless Ziegler
gives PRT 10 business days (x) to accept, and adapt its operations to accommodate, such changes or (y) to reject the proposed changes. 
 1.9 No Obligation to Continue to Use Services; Ziegler to Assist in Transitioning. 
 (a) Upon expiration of the Initial Term (as defined in Section 4.1), the REIT and the Operating Partnership shall not be obligated to continue to use any of the Shared Services and may
terminate any Shared Service by giving Ziegler ten (10) days prior notice thereof in accordance with the notice provisions herein. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ziegler shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, assist PRT in PRT’s efforts in undertaking to provide for itself any Shared Services, including without
limitation giving PRT actual possession of the various documents, data and other records used or useful in the delivery of such Shared Services and taking such other steps as are reasonably necessary to assist PRT to provide for itself such Shared
Services on a self sufficient basis; provided that, in no event shall Ziegler be obligated to provide assistance under this Section 1.9 that would result in more than a de minimis cost to Ziegler. 

(c) Ziegler shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses it incurs in connection with the assistance it provides
pursuant to this Section 1.9. 
 (d) Upon termination of this Agreement, Ziegler shall deliver to PRT all documents,
records, data and materials relating to the REIT’s and the Operating Partnership’s business and operations that are in the possession or control of Ziegler. Notwithstanding, Ziegler shall retain copies of any documents as necessary for
regulatory purposes. 
 1.10 Access. To the extent necessary to comply with the terms of this Agreement, each party
shall, to the extent permitted by law or regulation, provide personnel of the other party with reasonable access during normal business hours (to the extent practicable) to its equipment, office space, plants, telecommunications and computer
equipment and systems, and any other areas and equipment necessary for the performance of the Shared Services hereunder; provided, however, that such access shall not extend to any party’s proprietary information. 

1.11 The Parties Obligations. During the term of this Agreement, the REIT and the Operating Partnership shall (i) on a timely
basis, comply with any reasonable instructions provided by Ziegler that are necessary for Ziegler to adequately provide the Shared Services; (ii) comply with all applicable standards and procedures applicable to such Shared Service which are in
the manner generally applied by Ziegler in its business; (iii)

  
 5 








 
promptly report any operational or system problem affecting, the provision of any Shared Services to Ziegler and (iv) assist and provide all factual information reasonably required by
Ziegler to allow the provision of Shared Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure by the REIT and the Operating Partnership to perform any of the foregoing shall not alter or diminish Ziegler’s obligations to provide the Shared
Services on the terms set forth herein, except where the failure to so perform has delayed or materially increased Ziegler’s cost or burden to provide such Shared Service, or where such failure prevents the provision of the Shared Service in
substantially the same manner as previously provided. During the term of this Agreement, Ziegler shall, on a timely basis, provide the Shared Services and comply with any reasonable instructions provided by PRT that are necessary for PRT to meet
their obligations to third parties, including the timely filing of reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other regulatory agency or the NYSE. 
 1.12 Security Level. Ziegler shall, and shall cause its affiliates and subsidiaries to, and the REIT and the Operating Partnership shall, and shall cause its affiliates and subsidiaries to, work
together to ensure that they are each able to maintain their respective current levels (or, if greater, an industry standard level) of physical and electronic security during the term of this Agreement (including data security and data privacy), and
to address any new security related issues, including compliance with applicable law related to security and issues related to new technologies or threats. 
 1.13 Records, Inspection and Audit Rights. 
 (a) To ensure Ziegler’s
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the REIT and the Operating Partnership and its affiliates and subsidiaries will have the right upon at least five (5) days written notice, directly or by their designees, to inspect
the books and records and all other documents and material in the possession of or under the control of Ziegler and its affiliates and subsidiaries with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement at the place or places where such records are
normally retained. The REIT and the Operating Partnership, their respective affiliates and subsidiaries and/or their respective designees will have free and full access thereto for such purposes and will be permitted to make copies thereof and
extracts therefrom. The parties acknowledge and agree that the REIT and the Operating Partnership and their representatives will not have access to records of Ziegler or its affiliates to the extent such records pertain to the Ziegler’s or its
affiliates’ other businesses. If an inspection reveals an overcharge with respect to any third party cost paid by the REIT and the Operating Partnership for any Shared Services, Ziegler will promptly reimburse the REIT and the Operating
Partnership for the amount of such overcharge, plus interest, calculated at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, from the date the overcharge was originally paid by the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership to the date of such
reimbursement. All books and records relative to Ziegler’s obligations hereunder will be maintained and kept accessible and available to PRT and the Operating Partnership and its affiliates and subsidiaries for inspection for at least two
(2) years after termination of this Agreement. 
 (b) The parties acknowledge and agree that Ziegler will provide PRT the
same level of backup and disaster recovery capabilities as Ziegler maintains for its own business. If the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership wishes to acquire additional assistance from Ziegler with respect to backup or disaster recovery of the
REIT and the Operating Partnership records, the parties will agree in advance on changes to the Annual Fee to accommodate the increase in the amount of Shared Services.

changed for any reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify Ziegler and such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to Ziegler for at least thirty (30) days after receipt by Ziegler of such notice, unless the effect of such
change is to extend or increase coverage under the policy.

 1.15 Administration of the Funds. Ziegler has been and shall remain the Manager of the Funds, and
shall retain all responsibility for the administration of the Funds, after the closing of the transactions to be effected by the Contribution Agreements. Ziegler acknowledges and agrees neither the REIT nor the Operating Partnership nor any of
PRT’s affiliates shall have any obligation to administer the Funds, or owe the Funds any more duties or responsibilities than it owes to any other shareholder of the REIT, provided, however, the REIT shall reimburse Ziegler for the reasonable
cost and expenses payable to a third party, selected and overseen by Ziegler, after consultation with PRT, to (a) perform and prepare routine annual financial audits of the Funds in the normal course of operation of the Funds for the fiscal
year of the Funds ending in 2013 and 2014, and (b) prepare annual tax returns for the Funds, including IRS Form 1040K-1s, for the tax years ending in 2013 and 2014. Ziegler shall continue to pay and assume all other cost and expense of
administering the Funds, including audits and tax return preparations for any calendar or tax year after 2014. PRT shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Ziegler for information or support necessary for the administration of the Funds.
