Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 18, 2017, Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to its Term Loan due 2019 (the “Term Loan”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent; PNC Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent; U.S. Bank National Association, Fifth Third Bank and Branch Banking and Trust Company as Co-Documentation Agents; and the following additional lenders: Bank of Montreal – Chicago Branch; First Tennessee Bank, The Bank of Nova Scotia, National Association; and Pinnacle National Bank.

The amendment to the Term Loan extends the maturity date to December 16, 2022 and reduces the spread over LIBOR relating to the cost of borrowing by 10 basis points, based on the Company's current unsecured debt ratings. As amended, the Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to (x) LIBOR plus (y) a margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75% (currently 1.10% under the amendment) based upon the Company’s unsecured debt ratings (the "Applicable Margin"). Prior to the amendment, the cost of borrowing under the Term Loan was equal to (x) LIBOR plus (y) a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.95% (1.20% immediately prior to the amendment). $150.0 million will remain outstanding under the Term Loan.

On December 20, 2017, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps totaling $25.0 million to hedge the 1-month LIBOR portion of the cost of borrowing under the Term Loan to a fixed rate of interest of 2.18% through December 16, 2022, to which the Applicable Margin will be added (currently 1.10%). The remainder of the Term Loan will continue to be subject to the variable 1-month LIBOR rate.

The above description of the amendment to the Term Loan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.     
    
To the extent applicable, the information contained in Item 1.01 concerning the Company’s direct financial obligations is incorporated herein by reference.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT

This SECOND AMENDMENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (this “ Amendment ”) dated as of December 18, 2017 by and among HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST INCORPORATED, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Maryland (the “ Borrower ”), each of the Lenders party hereto and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (the “ Administrative Agent ”).

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and certain other parties have entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of February 27, 2014 (as amended and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “ Credit Agreement ”); and

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans under the Credit Agreement equals $150,000,000;

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement . Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

(a) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions to Section 1.01 thereof in the appropriate alphabetical location:

Eurodollar Reserve Percentage ” means, for any day, the percentage which is in effect for such day as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any basic, supplemental or emergency reserves) in respect of eurocurrency liabilities or any similar category of liabilities for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City.

Replacement Rate ” has the meaning assigned thereto in Section 3.03(b) .

(b) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating the following definitions contained in Section 1.01 thereof in their entirety as follows:
    
Eurodollar Rate ” means, subject to implementation of a Replacement Rate in accordance with Section 3.03(b) , with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan for any Interest Period, the rate of interest obtained by dividing (i) the rate of interest per annum determined on the basis of the rate for deposits in Dollars for a period equal to the applicable Interest Period as published by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, a United Kingdom company, or a comparable or successor quoting services approved by the Administrative Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period by (ii) a percentage equal to 1 minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage. If, for any reason, the rate referred to in the preceding clause (i) is not so published, then the rate to be used for such clause (i) shall be determined by the Administrative Agent to be the arithmetic average of the rate per annum at which deposits in Dollars would be offered by first class banks in the London interbank market to the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period for a period equal to such Interest Period. Any change in the maximum rate of reserves described in the preceding clause (ii) shall result in a change in the Eurodollar Rate on the date on which such change in such maximum rate becomes effective. Each calculation by the Administrative Agent of the Eurodollar Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in





no event shall the Eurodollar Rate (including, without limitation, any Replacement Rate with respect thereto) be less than zero and (y) unless otherwise specified in any amendment to this Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 3.03(b), in the event that a Replacement Rate with respect to the Eurodollar Rate is implemented then all references herein to the Eurodollar Rate shall be deemed references to such Replacement Rate.

Termination Date ” means December 16, 2022.

(c) The Credit Agreement is further amended by deleting the table set forth in the definition of “Applicable Percentage” and replacing it with the following:

Pricing Level
Debt Ratings
(or their equivalents)
Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans
Loans that are Base Rate Loans

(d) The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding a new Section 1.07 as follows:

1.07      Rates .

The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”.

(e) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 3.03 thereof in its entirety as follows:

3.03      Inability to Determine Rates; Alternative Rate of Interest .
(a)      Inability to Determine Rates . Unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with Section 3.03(b) below, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines, or the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders, that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice, such revocation not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for the Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for the





Borrowing of Loans that are Base Rate Loans (with the Base Rate determined other than by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) in the amount specified therein.

(b)      Alternative Rate of Interest . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.03(a) above, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described in Section 3.03(a)(i) or (a)(ii) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with the Borrower and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “ Replacement Rate ”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Credit Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 3.03(a)(i) , (a)(ii) , (b)(i) , (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.03(b) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, Section 9.01 ), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any party other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects). To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (b) , the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

(f) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 9.01 thereof in its entirety as follows:

9.01      Amendments, Etc.

No amendment or waiver of, or any consent to deviation from, any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, as the case may be, and except as expressly provided herein below, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent for and on behalf of the Required Lenders at their direction) and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given; provided , however, that:

(iv)      change any provision of this Credit Agreement regarding pro rata sharing or pro rata funding with respect to (A) the making of advances (including participations), (B) the manner of application of payments or prepayments of principal, interest, or fees, or (C) the manner of reduction of commitments and committed amounts,

(v)      change any provision of this Section 9.01(a) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,
    
(vi)      release all or substantially all of the Guarantors, if any, from their obligations hereunder (other than as provided herein or as appropriate in connection with transactions permitted hereunder);

(b)      [Intentionally Omitted];

(c)      [Intentionally Omitted];

(d)      unless also agreed to by the Administrative Agent, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent where the effect would be to affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(e)      [Intentionally Omitted];

(f)      while any Incremental Term Loans remain outstanding, any term of this Agreement or any other Credit Document relating to the rights or obligations of the Lenders holding such Incremental Term Loans not adverse to the rights of any Lender holding a Loan that is not an Incremental Term Loan, including any provision that becomes a part of this Agreement solely as a result of an amendment to this Agreement entered into in compliance with Section 2.16 , may be amended, and the performance or observance thereof by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries may be waived with the written consent of only such Lenders (and in the case of any such amendment to any Credit Document, the written consent of each Credit Party a party thereto), without the need to obtain the consent of any of the other Lenders;

and provided further , that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that other than as provided in Section 9.15 :

(A)      the principal amount of the Loan of such Defaulting Lender may not be decreased, and






(B)      the rate of interest for such Defaulting Lender may not be decreased (except as expressly provided in clause (a)(iii) above) and the pro rata sharing and funding provisions referenced in clause (a)(iv) above may not be changed, in either case in a way that would affect the Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders,

without, in any such case, the consent of such Defaulting Lender,

(ii) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy or insolvency reorganization plan that affects the Loans, (iii) each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein, (iv) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (v) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto and (vi) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or to enter into additional Credit Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Replacement Rate or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 3.03(b) in accordance with the terms of Section 3.03(b) .

Section 4. Reallocations . Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment (the “ Existing Loans ”) shall be reallocated among the Lenders in accordance with the outstanding principal amount of each such Lender’s Loan set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto. In order to effect such reallocations, the New Lender (as defined below) and each other Lender whose Loan after giving effect to this Amendment exceeds its Existing Loan (each, an “Assignee Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased at par a portion of all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the Existing Loan of the Exiting Lender (as defined below) and each Lender whose Loan after giving effect to this Amendment will be less than its Existing Loan (each, an “Assignor Lender”) so that the outstanding principal amount of the Loan of each Lender will be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties and Acknowledgements of New Lender .
