▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC

Ladies and Gentlemen:

HEALTHCARE REALTY TRUST INCORPORATED, a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell severally to ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Securities, LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo”) and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC (“▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇,” and collectively with ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo, the “Underwriters”), an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”). The Company also proposes to sell to the several Underwriters, at the option of the Underwriters, up to an additional 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”). The Firm Shares and the Option Shares are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Shares.”

The Company confirms as follows its agreement with the Underwriters.

1. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, (a) the Company agrees to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price per share of $33.13 (the “Purchase Price”), the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto and (b) in the event and to the extent that the Underwriters shall exercise the election to purchase Option Shares as provided below, the Company agrees to sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the Purchase Price (less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Shares but not payable on the Option Shares), the number of Option Shares (to be adjusted by the Underwriters so as to eliminate fractional shares) determined by multiplying the number of Option Shares as to which such election shall have been exercised by a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Firm Shares.

The Company hereby grants to the Underwriters the right to purchase at their election up to 1,200,000 Option Shares, at the Purchase Price less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Shares but not payable on the Option Shares. The option granted in this Section 1 will expire 30 calendar days after the date of this underwriting agreement (the “Agreement”) or, if such 30^th day shall be a Saturday or Sunday or a holiday, on the next day thereafter when the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading (the “Exercise Period). Such option to acquire the Option Shares may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only by written notice from the Underwriters to the Company, given within the Exercise Period, and setting forth the aggregate number of Option Shares to be purchased and the Option Closing Date (as defined herein), as determined by the Underwriters but in no event earlier than the Closing Date (as defined herein) or, unless the Underwriters and the Company otherwise agree in writing, earlier than two or later than ten business days after the date of such notice.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement shall be several and not joint.

2. Terms of Offering. The Company understands that the several Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Firm Shares as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Underwriters is advisable, and initially to offer the Firm Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell the Shares to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer and sell the Shares purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.

3. Payment and Delivery. The Company will deliver the Firm Shares for the accounts of the Underwriters, against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer drawn to the order of the Company at the office of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo (or such other place as the Underwriters may specify), at 10:00 A.M., New York time, on July 5, 2016, or at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Underwriters and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”. For purposes of Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Closing Date (if later than the otherwise applicable settlement date) shall be the settlement date for payment of funds and delivery of securities for all the Firm Shares. The certificates for the Firm Shares so to be delivered will be in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as the Underwriters request and will be made available for checking and packaging at the above office of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo (or such other place as the Underwriters may specify) at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date.

Each time for the delivery of and payment for the Option Shares, being herein referred to as an “Option Closing Date,” which may be the Closing Date, shall be determined by the Underwriters as provided in Section 1. The Company will deliver the Option Shares with respect to which the options shall have been exercised and are being purchased on each Option Closing Date to the Underwriters for the accounts of the Underwriters, against payment of the purchase price therefor in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer drawn to the order of the Company at the above office of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo (or such other place as the Underwriters may specify), at 10:00 A.M., New York time on the applicable Option Closing Date. The certificates for the Option Shares so to be delivered will be in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as the Underwriters request and will be made available for checking and packaging at the above office of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo (or such other place as the Underwriters may specify) at least 24 hours prior to such Option Closing Date.

4. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Company. (a) The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the Underwriters that, as of the date hereof, as of the Applicable Time (as defined below) and as of the Closing Date and each Option Closing Date, if any:

(i) The Company has carefully prepared, pursuant to and in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1933 Act Rules and Regulations”) by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and has filed with the SEC an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations on Form S-3 (File No. 333-194037) which was automatically effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) of the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations, including a base prospectus relating to common stock, common stock warrants, preferred stock and debt securities of the Company (together with the documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Base Prospectus”), for registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations. The registration statement was filed with the SEC not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof and no notice of objection of the SEC to the use of such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations has been received by the Company. The Company has provided the Underwriters with copies of all correspondence to and from, and all, if any, documents issued to and by, the SEC in connection with the registration statement. The Company has paid or will pay the registration fees for the Shares within the time period required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations (without giving effect to the proviso therein) and in any event prior to the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date. The Company and the offering of the Shares in the registration statement meet the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act. At the time of the filing of the Registration Statement, at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this sentence only, of Rule 163(c) under the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption in Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations, at the Applicable Time (as defined below), as of the date of this Agreement, at the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date and any time required by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations: (i) the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined under Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations, and (ii) the Company was or is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations. The documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, at the time they were filed with the SEC, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1934 Act Rules and Regulations”) and none of such documents, when they were filed with the SEC, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package or Prospectus (each as defined below), when such documents

were or are filed with SEC, conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Rules and Regulations and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Such registration statement (and any further registration statements that may be filed by the Company for the purpose of registering additional shares of Common Stock and in connection with which this Agreement is included or incorporated therein by reference as an exhibit) including all documents incorporated therein by reference, as from time to time amended or supplemented by the filing of documents pursuant to the 1934 Act, the 1933 Act or otherwise, are referred to herein as the “Registration Statement.” The time at which the Registration Statement became effective is referred to herein as the “Effective Date.” The Company proposes to prepare and file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations, a supplement to the Base Prospectus (the “Prospectus Supplement”), containing the Base Prospectus and including the documents incorporated by reference, included in the Registration Statement that will describe the issuances of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the sale and plan of distribution of the Shares and additional information concerning the Company and its business. The Company may, from time to time, prepare and file with the SEC pursuant to Rule 430, 430A or 430B under the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations a preliminary Prospectus Supplement (each a “Preliminary Prospectus”) containing the Base Prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a Preliminary Prospectus, and including the documents incorporated in such Preliminary Prospectus by reference, relating to the Shares. The Preliminary Prospectus relating to the Shares that was included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) is hereinafter called the “Pricing Prospectus;” such final prospectus, including the final prospectus supplement (containing the Base Prospectus, the final prospectus supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference) relating to the Shares, in the form first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations, is hereinafter called the “Prospectus;” and any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations relating to the Shares is hereinafter called an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus;” and all references to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the SEC pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“▇▇▇▇▇”).

Each Preliminary Prospectus, Pricing Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations, complied when so filed in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations and each Preliminary Prospectus, Pricing Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the SEC pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Time” is 6:15 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date of this Agreement. The Pricing Prospectus as supplemented by documents listed in Annex A hereto, taken together (collectively, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”) as of the Applicable Time and the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annex B hereto does not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus and each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as supplemented by and taken together with the Pricing Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time and the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to statements or omissions made in the Pricing Disclosure Package or an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in strict conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Underwriters expressly for use therein.

(ii) Neither the SEC nor any state or other jurisdiction or other regulatory body has issued, and neither is, to the knowledge of the Company, threatening to issue, any stop order under the 1933 Act or other order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as amended or supplemented) or preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus or suspending the qualification or registration of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, nor instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened to institute proceedings for any such purpose. The Prospectus and each Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of the applicable date of issue and the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, and the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto as of the applicable effective date, contain or will contain, as the case may be, all statements which are required to be stated therein by, and in all material respects conform or will conform, as the case may be, to the requirements of, the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations. Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, as of the applicable effective date, contains or will contain, as the case may be, any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and neither the Prospectus, nor any Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, at the applicable date of issue and the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, contains or will contain, as the case may be, any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation or warranty as to information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company relating to the Underwriters by or on behalf of the Underwriters expressly for use in the preparation thereof (as provided in this Agreement). There is no contract or document required to be described in the Registration Statement,

the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that is not described or filed as required. Any future documents incorporated by reference so filed, when they are filed, will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Rules and Regulations; no such incorporated document contained or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and, when read together and with the other information in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement became effective, at the Applicable Time and at the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, each such incorporated document did not or will not, as the case may be, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(iii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (the “Exceptions”).

The term “Material Adverse Effect” as used herein means any material adverse effect on the condition (financial or other), net worth, business, affairs, management, prospects, results of operations or cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(v) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree which would give rise to a Material Adverse Effect, or any development involving a prospective Material Adverse Effect otherwise than as set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there has not been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which would give rise to a Material Adverse Effect,

or any development involving a prospective Material Adverse Effect, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, otherwise than as set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(vi) The issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any properties or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound, or to which any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or violate any statute, rule, regulation or other law, or any order or judgment, of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties, except to such extent as, individually or in the aggregate, does not have a Material Adverse Effect, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws; and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except such as have been, or will be prior to the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, obtained under the 1933 Act or as may be required by the NYSE and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Shares by the Underwriters.

All corporate action required to be taken by the Company for the authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares has been duly and validly taken prior to the date of this Agreement. Except as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no outstanding subscriptions, rights, warrants, options, calls, convertible securities, commitments of sale or rights related to or entitling any person to purchase or otherwise to acquire any shares of, or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, the capital stock of, or other ownership interest in, the Company.

The outstanding shares of capital stock of or other equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and, except as set forth in Exhibit 21 or except where failure to be so owned would not give rise to a Material Adverse Effect, are owned directly or indirectly by the Company free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, charge or adverse claim and are not the subject of any agreement or understanding with any person and were not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights; and there are no outstanding subscriptions, rights, warrants, options, calls, convertible securities, commitments of sale or instruments related to or entitling any person to purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of, or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, the capital stock of, or other ownership interest in any of the subsidiaries.

(viii) The statements set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of the Applicable Time, and the Prospectus, as of its date of issue and the Closing Date and any Option Closing Date, describing the Shares, the Common Stock and this Agreement, insofar as they purport to describe the provisions of the laws and documents referred to therein, are accurate, complete and fair in all material respects.

or, to the effect that any additional authorization, approval, order, consent, license, certificate, permit, registration or qualification (“Approvals”) from such regulatory authority is needed to be obtained by any of them, in any case where it could be reasonably expected that obtaining such Approvals or the failure to obtain such Approvals, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(x) All United States federal income tax returns of the Company and its subsidiaries required by law to be filed have been filed and all taxes shown by such returns or otherwise assessed, which are due and payable, have been paid, except assessments against which appeals have been or will be promptly taken and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all other tax returns that are required to have been filed by them pursuant to applicable foreign, state, local or other law, except insofar as the failure to file such returns, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company or any subsidiary except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of any income and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for additional income tax for any years not finally determined;

(xi) The Company and its subsidiaries own or possess, or can acquire on reasonable terms, all licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names, patents and patent rights (collectively “Intellectual Property”) material to carrying on their businesses as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any correspondence relating to any Intellectual Property or notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of the Company and its subsidiaries and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, individually or in the aggregate, would have or may reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(xii) Except in each case such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) the Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple or valid, enforceable leasehold title to all items of real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them or disclosed as owned by them in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, restrictions and defects except such as are described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; (b) any property held under lease or sublease by the Company or any of its subsidiaries is held under valid, duly authorized, subsisting and enforceable leases or subleases; (c) the Company and its subsidiaries have title insurance on all real properties described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as having been financed by them pursuant to a mortgage loan in an amount at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of each such mortgage loan or in an amount

To the knowledge of the Company, no lessee of any portion of any of the properties described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus is in default under its respective lease and there is no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default under any such lease, except such defaults that would, individually or in the aggregate, not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xiii) No labor disturbance exists with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or, to the Company’s knowledge, is imminent which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is represented by a union and, to the knowledge of the Company and its subsidiaries, no union organizing activities are taking place. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has violated any federal, state or local law or foreign law relating to discrimination in hiring, promotion or pay of employees, nor any applicable wage or hour laws, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or analogous foreign laws and regulations, which might, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(xiv) The Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all presently applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (“ERISA”); no “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “pension plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which the Company and its subsidiaries would have any liability; the Company and its subsidiaries have not incurred and do not expect to incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “pension plan” or (ii) Sections 412 or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”); and each “pension plan” for which the Company or any of its subsidiaries would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified in all material respects, and, to the Company’s knowledge, nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(xv) The Company and its subsidiaries maintain insurance of the types and in the amounts generally deemed adequate for its business, including, but not limited to, directors’ and officers’ insurance, insurance covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and its subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and all other risks customarily insured against, all of which insurance is in full force and effect. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and the Company has no reason to believe that it and its subsidiaries will not be able to renew their existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xvi) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would be, in default or violation with respect to its articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would be, in default in the performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or in violation of any statutes, laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or any orders or decrees to which it is subject, including, without limitation, Section 13 of the 1934 Act, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Underwriter, threatened or contemplated by the SEC, and any request of the SEC for additional information (to be included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or otherwise) shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Underwriters.

(b) No Underwriter shall have advised the Company on or prior to the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date), that the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto contains an untrue statement of fact which, in the opinion of counsel to the Underwriters, is material, or omits to state a fact which, in the opinion of such counsel, is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) On the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date), the Underwriters shall have received one or more opinions of counsel for the Company, addressed to the Underwriters and dated the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date), in substantially the forms of Annex C and Annex D.

In rendering the opinions, such counsel may rely, (1) as to matters involving laws of any jurisdiction other than New York or the United States, upon opinions addressed to the Underwriters of other counsel satisfactory to it and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ LLP, and (2) as to all matters of fact, upon certificates and written statements of the executive officers of, and accountants for, the Company, provided, in either case, that such counsel shall state in their opinion that they and the Underwriters are justified in relying thereon.

Such counsel shall also confirm that during the preparation of the Registration Statement, Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus, such counsel participated in conferences with officers and representatives of the Company and its independent registered public accounting firm, at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus including all documents filed under the 1934 Act and deemed incorporated by reference therein were discussed, reviewed and revised. On the basis of the information which was developed in the course thereof, considered in light of such counsel’s understanding of applicable law and the experience gained by such counsel through their practice thereunder, without such counsel assuming responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements except to the extent expressly provided above, such counsel shall confirm that nothing came to their attention that would lead them to believe that either the Registration Statement (including any document filed under the 1934 Act and deemed incorporated by reference therein), as of the Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document filed under the 1934 Act and deemed incorporated by reference therein) as of its respective issue date and as of the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date), contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than the financial statements, schedules or other financial or statistical information derived therefrom and

included in or incorporated by reference into or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including, without limitation, financial or statistical information provided in XBRL, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) or that, as of the Applicable Time or such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Company prior to the Applicable Time or such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than the financial statements, schedules or other financial or statistical information derived therefrom and included in or incorporated by reference into or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including, without limitation, financial or statistical information provided in XBRL, as to which such counsel need express no opinion).

(d) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date), from ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date) with respect to such matters as the Underwriters may reasonably require; and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they reasonably request for the purposes of enabling them to review or pass on the matters referred to in this Section 6 and in order to evidence the accuracy, completeness and satisfaction of the representations, warranties and conditions herein contained.

(e) On the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date), the Underwriters shall have received from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, a letter or letters, dated the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date), respectively, in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters, confirming that they are an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Rules and Regulations, and containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information, including any pro forma financial information, relating to the Company contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(f) Except as contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package (i) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package any material loss or interference with its business from (a) fire, explosion, flood or other calamity (including, without limitation, natural disasters), whether or not covered by insurance, or (b) from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree; and (ii) subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Pricing Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have incurred any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, or entered into any transactions, and there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or short-term or long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving or which might reasonably be expected to involve a prospective change in the condition (financial or other), net worth,

business, affairs, management, prospects, results of operations or cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in the judgment of the Underwriters so material or adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering, sale or the delivery of the Shares being delivered on the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date) on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus.

(g) There shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either federal or any state authorities, or a material disruption in clearance or settlement systems; (ii) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities or escalation of acts of terrorism involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, which in the judgment of the Underwriters makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering, sale or the delivery of the Shares in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus; (iii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities, or in securities generally, on the NYSE; (iv) any calamity or crisis, change in national, international or world affairs, act of God, change in the international or domestic markets, or change in the existing financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere which in the judgment of the Underwriters makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering, sale or the delivery of the Shares in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus; or (v) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined by the SEC for purposes of Rule 436 under the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its ratings on any such debt securities (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) or any announcement by any such organization that its rating of any such debt securities has been placed on negative outlook.

(h) The Underwriters shall have received certificates, dated the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date) and signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in their capacities as such, stating that:

(ii) they have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Prospectus and Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as amended or supplemented and all documents incorporated by reference therein and nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Registration Statement or the Pricing Disclosure Package, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any documents incorporated by reference therein as of their respective effective, issue or filing dates, contained, and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and all documents incorporated by reference therein and when read together with the documents incorporated by reference therein, at such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or that, as of the Applicable Time, the Pricing Disclosure Package or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(iii) The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the 1934 Act Rules and Regulations) and have (a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls to be designed under their supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the Pricing Prospectus and Prospectus were being prepared, (b) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and (c) has timely disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and Prospectus any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(iv) since the date of this Agreement, there has occurred no event required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus which has not been so set forth and there has been no document required to be filed under the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Rules and Regulations that upon such filing would be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that has not been so filed;

(v) all representations and warranties made herein by the Company are true and correct at such Closing Date, with the same effect as if made on and as of such Closing Date, and all agreements herein to be performed or complied with by the Company on or prior to such Closing Date have been duly performed and complied with by the Company;

(vi) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree;

(vii) except as disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, other than in the ordinary course of business, or entered into any transactions not in the ordinary course of business, which in either case are material to the Company or such subsidiary; and there has not been any change in the capital stock or material increase in the short-term debt or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any material adverse change or any development involving or which may reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital stock;

(viii) the Company is in compliance, both prior to and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, with the financial covenants set forth in the Company’s credit agreement and other agreements and instruments respecting outstanding indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries; and

(ix) covering such other matters as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

All such opinions, certificates, letters and documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriters and to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Underwriters. The Company will furnish the Underwriters with such signed and conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Underwriters may request.

If any of the conditions specified above in this Section 6 shall not have been satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date (and, if applicable, the Option Closing Date) or waived by the Underwriters in writing, this Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriters on notice to the Company.

7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, the affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents of the Underwriters and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Underwriters may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, claims, expenses or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or any Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus, Pricing Disclosure Package, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or in any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company or based on any information furnished in writing by the Company, filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Shares under the securities laws thereof (the “Blue Sky Application”), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to

be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus, Pricing Disclosure Package, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Shares or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each such indemnified person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such person in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending against any such loss, damage, liability or action or claim, including, without limitation, any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party, as such expenses are incurred (including such losses, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any such action or claim, provided that (subject to Section 7(d) hereof) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company); provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that any such loss, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus, Pricing Disclosure Package, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Shares, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Underwriters furnished to the Company by the Underwriters, expressly for use in the preparation thereof.

(b) Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers, its employees, its agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, expenses or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, claims, expenses or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus, Pricing Disclosure Package, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Blue Sky Application, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus, Pricing Disclosure Package, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Shares, or any such amendment or supplement, or any Blue Sky Application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Underwriters furnished to the Company by the Underwriters, expressly for use in the preparation thereof, and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred (including such losses, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any such action or claim, provided that (subject to Section 7(d) hereof) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Underwriters.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof, notify each such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability except to the extent that it has been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from

any liability that it may have to any such indemnified party otherwise than under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any such indemnified party and it shall notify each indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, each such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from such indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by such indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party has been authorized by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in the conduct of the defense, or certain aspects of the defense, of such action (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action with respect to those matters or aspects of the defense on which a conflict exists or may exist on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not in fact have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to assume the defense of such action, in any of which events such fees and expenses to the extent applicable shall be borne, and shall be paid as incurred, by the indemnifying party. If at any time such indemnified party shall have requested such indemnifying party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof to reimburse such indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of such request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request for reimbursement prior to the date of such settlement. No such indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of such indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not such indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any such indemnified party. In no event shall such indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel, including any local counsel, for all such indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to indemnify or hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof in respect of any losses, damages, claims, expenses or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) hereof shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,

damages, claims, expenses or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 7(c) hereof and such indemnifying party was prejudiced in a material respect by such failure, then each such indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault, as applicable, of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, damages, claims, expenses or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by, as applicable, the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault, as applicable, of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by such an indemnifying party as a result of the losses, damages, claims, expenses or liabilities (or actions or claims in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 7(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director, employee, agent or other representative and to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act.

(f) The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 7, and are fully informed regarding such provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 7 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus, Pricing Disclosure Package, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus, and any supplement or amendment thereof, as required by the 1933 Act.

(g) The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

8. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The respective representations, warranties, agreements and statements of the Company and the Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or any controlling person of any Underwriter, the Company or any of its officers, directors or any controlling persons, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares hereunder.

9. Substitution of Underwriters. (a) If either Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the other Underwriter may in their discretion arrange for another Underwriter or another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by an Underwriter the other Underwriter does not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or parties reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the non-defaulting Underwriter notifies the Company that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company notifies the non-defaulting Underwriter that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, the non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any persons substituted under this Section 9 with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter made by the non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of Shares that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the total Shares to be sold on the Closing Date, then the Company shall have the right to require the non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the number of Shares that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter made by the non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of Shares that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the total Shares to be sold on the Closing Date, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require the non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the Shares of the defaulting Underwriter, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Option Closing Date, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Option Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 11 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 7 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriters at any time at or prior to the Closing Date (or, if applicable, the Option Closing Date) by notice to the Company if any condition specified in Section 6 hereof shall not have been satisfied on or prior to such Closing Date. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Sections 7 and 11 hereof. If the Underwriters terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 10, they shall notify the Company by telephone or telegram, confirmed in writing as provided in Section 12.

11. Costs and Expenses. The Company, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, will bear and pay the costs and expenses incident to the registration of the Shares and public offering thereof, including, without limitation, (a) all expenses (including transfer taxes) incurred in connection with the delivery to the Underwriters of the Shares, the filing fees of the SEC, the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accountants, (b) the preparation, printing, filing, delivery and shipping of the Registration Statement, each Prospectus Supplement, Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and the printing, delivery and shipping of this Agreement and other underwriting documents and any instruments or documents related to any of the foregoing, (c) the furnishing of copies of such documents to the Underwriters, (d) the registration or qualification of the Shares for offering and sale under the securities laws of the various states and other jurisdictions, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters relating to such registration or qualification and in connection with preparing any Blue Sky Memoranda or related analysis, (e) all printing and engraving costs related to preparation of the certificates for the Shares, including transfer agent and registrar fees, (f) all fees and expenses relating to the authorization of the Shares for trading on the NYSE, (g) all travel expenses, including air fare and accommodation expenses, of representatives of the Company in connection with the offering of the Shares, (h) the approval of the Shares by DTC for “book-entry” transfer and (i) all of the other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of the registration and offering of the Shares; provided, that the Underwriters will bear and pay the fees and expenses of the Underwriters’ counsel (except as specifically provided in this Section 10), the Underwriters’ out-of-pocket expenses, and any advertising costs and expenses incurred by the Underwriters incident to the public offering of the Shares; provided

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) providing for the purchase by you ( the “Underwriters”) of shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) and that you propose to reoffer such shares to the public (the “Offering”).

In consideration of the execution of the Underwriting Agreement by the several Underwriters, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that during a period of 45 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement (such 45-day period, the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, except that the undersigned may (x) exercise options or warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock, which options have been issued as of the date hereof, (y) cause the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof into Common Stock and (z) make such transfers or dispositions pursuant to any employee stock purchase or other benefit plan in existence on the date hereof or pursuant to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, then the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Letter Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or the occurrence of the material event, unless the Underwriters waive such extension in writing.

The undersigned agrees that the provisions of this agreement will be binding also upon the successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the undersigned.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of Common Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this agreement.

It is understood that if the Underwriting Agreement is not executed, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than any provisions thereof that survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to consummation of the Offering, the undersigned will be automatically released, without further action by you or the undersigned, from all obligations under this agreement.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not any public offering of Common Stock actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.

Very truly yours,
