Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On November 13, 2012, Carter/Validus Operating Partnership, LP (“CVOP”), the operating partnership of Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a limited partnership agreement of DC-2000 Kubach Road, LP (the “Partnership”) with DC-2000 Kubach Road, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVOP (“DC-2000 GP”), and PAL DC Philadelphia, LLLP, which is an affiliate of Palatine Capital Partners (the “Investing Partner”), and is not affiliated with the Company, its advisor or affiliates. The Partnership was formed to acquire, own and manage a 121,000 square foot leased data center, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (the “Philadelphia Data Center”), the acquisition of which was completed on November 13, 2012. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, the Investing Partner contributed $15,000,000 in exchange for a 43.644% ownership interest in the Partnership. CVOP and DC-2000 GP funded their obligations under the partnership agreement for a $19,368,271 cash contribution in exchange for 56.353% ownership interest in the Partnership and a $1,000 cash contribution in exchange for a 0.003% ownership interest in the Partnership, respectively, with net proceeds from the Company’s ongoing public offering.

The material terms of the partnership agreement provide for the following: (a) DC-2000 GP will serve as the initial general partner of the Partnership and will have exclusive and complete responsibility for the operations and management of the Partnership; provided, however, that the Investing Partner has approval rights over certain major decisions; (b) commencing upon the first anniversary of the partnership agreement, CVOP has the call option to require the Investing Partner to sell its entire equity interest in the Partnership to CVOP for $17,550,000, which amount would increase monthly thereafter; (c) distributable cash flow from the Philadelphia Data Center will be disbursed 100% to CVOP for the first 12 months and 100% to the Investing Partner thereafter; (d) the net proceeds from a sale of the Philadelphia Data Center will be disbursed first to the Investing Partner, up to an amount equal to the call option, and thereafter to CVOP and DC-2000 GP in accordance with their respective percentage interests; and (e) after 24 months from the date of the partnership agreement, the Investing Partner has the right to appoint the general partner of the Partnership and has the sole discretion to cause the sale of the Philadelphia Data Center.

CVOP intends to exercise its call option in November 2013 and purchase the Investing Partner’s ownership interest in the Partnership, which will result in CVOP owning 100% of the Philadelphia Data Center. As a result of CVOP receiving 100% of the distributable cash flow from the Philadelphia Data Center for the first 12 months, and assuming (i) that CVOP exercises its call option prior to December 13, 2013 and (ii) the Philadelphia Data Center meets the Company’s current return projections, the projected cost of such equity would be approximately 7.76%. There is no guarantee that CVOP will exercise its call option.

None of the partners may freely transfer their respective interest in the Partnership without the reasonable consent of the other party, except that CVOP may transfer its interest to any of the Company’s affiliates.

The material terms of the partnership agreement are qualified in their entirety by the partnership agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
