Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 23, 2006, CarrAmerica Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Company”), as successor to CarrAmerica Realty Corporation (“CARC”), CarrAmerica Realty, L.P. (“CAR”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, formerly known as Bankers Trust Company (“Deutsche Bank”), entered into a supplemental indenture dated as of June 23, 2006 (the “1997 Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture dated as of July 1, 1997, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 2004 (the “1997 Indenture”), by and among the Company, CARC, CAR, and Deutsche Bank, relating to the Company’s outstanding 7.375% Notes due 2007 (the “7.375% Notes”) and a supplemental indenture dated as of June 23, 2006 (the “1998 Supplemental Indenture,” and, together with the 1997 Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”) to the Indenture dated as of February 23, 1998, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 2004 (the “1998 Indenture,” and, together with the 1997 Indenture, the “Indentures”), by and among the Company, CARC, CAR, and Deutsche Bank, relating to the Company’s outstanding 6.875% Notes due 2008 (the “6.875% Notes”).

The Supplemental Indentures were entered into in connection with the Company’s previously announced tender offers and consent solicitations with respect to the 7.375% Notes and the 6.875% Notes (the “Offers”), which were commenced on June 8, 2006.

The Supplemental Indentures amend the Indentures governing the 7.375% Notes and the 6.875% Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in the Indentures and the 7.375% Notes and the 6.875% Notes, eliminate certain events of default, modify covenants regarding mergers, and modify or eliminate certain other provisions contained in the Indentures and the 7.375% Notes and the 6.875% Notes.

The amendments to the Indentures became effective on June 23, 2006 and will become operative concurrently with the mergers of CARC and certain of its subsidiaries with affiliates of The Blackstone Group (the “Mergers”) as described in the Offer documents, provided all 7.375% Notes and 6.875% Notes validly tendered are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers upon consummation of the Mergers.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indentures, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 and are incorporated by reference herein.


Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

See the description under Item 1.01, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement above regarding the execution on June 23, 2006 of the Supplemental Indentures relating to the 7.375% Notes and the 6.875% Notes.
