Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Greenville Purchase Agreement

On September 4, 2009, HTA - Greenville, LLC ("HTA LLC"), a subsidiary of Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (the "Company") and Greenville Hospital System and certain of its affiliates ("GHS") agreed to amend (the "Fourth Amendment") the Agreement of Sale and Purchase, dated July 15, 2009 (the "Purchase Agreement"), as previously amended by the First Amendment to Agreement of Sale and Purchase, dated August 14, 2009 (the "First Amendment"), the Second Amendment to Agreement of Sale and Purchase, dated August 21, 2009 (the "Second Amendment"), and the Third Amendment to Agreement of Sale and Purchase, dated August 26, 2009 (the "Third Amendment"). The Purchase Agreement was described in Item 1.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 16, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference. The First Amendment was described in Item 1.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 20, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Second Amendment and the Third Amendment were described in Item 1.10 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 27, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The purpose of the Fourth Amendment was to, among other things, (i) increase the purchase price from $161,670,000 to $162,820,000 to reflect the additional payment at closing of $1,150,000 which was originally to be funded by the Company to GHS in the first year following closing to fund tenant improvements but which will instead be funded at closing, and which increased amount has been included in the calculation of first year base rent payable by GHS to the Company, and (ii) to provide that the closing date will be September 15, 2009. Although the closing date is scheduled for September 15, 2009, (A) the balance of the purchase price (in excess of the original deposit) was funded into escrow on September 9, 2009 to be held in escrow until the transaction closes and (B) upon the closing of the transaction, all expenses will be prorated as of September 9, 2009, and the payment of rent by GHS to the Company will commence effective as of September 9, 2009.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such amendment attached as Exhibits 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
