Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 30, 2006, CarrAmerica Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Company”), as successor to CarrAmerica Realty Corporation (“CARC”), CarrAmerica Realty, L.P. (“CAR”), and U.S. Bank Trust National Association (“U.S. Bank”) entered into a supplemental indenture dated as of June 30, 2006 (the “2002 Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture dated as of January 11, 2002, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 2004 (the “2002 Notes Indenture”), by and among the Company, CARC, CAR, and U.S. Bank, relating to the Company’s outstanding 5.261% Senior Notes due 2007 (the “5.261% Notes”), 5.25% Senior Notes due 2007 (the “5.25% Notes”), 3.625% Senior Notes due 2009 (the “3.625% Notes”) and 7.125% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “7.125% Notes”) and the Company, CARC, CAR and U.S. Bank entered into a supplemental indenture dated as of June 30, 2006 (the “2004 Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the 2002 Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”) to the Indenture dated as of June 23, 2004 (the “2004 Notes Indenture”, and together with the 2002 Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”), by and among the Company, CARC, CAR, and U.S. Bank, relating to the Company’s outstanding 5.500% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “5.500% Notes”) and 5.125% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “5.125% Notes”, and together with the 5.261% Notes, the 5.25% Notes, the 3.625% Notes, the 7.125% Notes and the 5.500% Notes, the “Notes”).

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

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

The amendments to the Indentures became effective on June 30, 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 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.

See the description under Item 1.01, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement above regarding the execution on June 30, 2006 of the Supplemental Indentures relating to the Notes.
