Authorized Signatory
[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]
2.625% Senior Notes due 2031
1.Indenture
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Issuer, designated as its 2.625% Senior Notes due 2031 (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, a second supplemental indenture, dated as of December 1, 2017, and a third supplemental indenture, dated as of October 13, 2021 (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 May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2022. 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 October 13, 2021. 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.

The Securities will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.
8.Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

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

10.Optional Redemption

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.CUSIP Numbers, etc.
The Issuer has caused CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.
