         1996 and by Amendment No. 6 ("Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule
         13D") filed on February 3, 1997.  This Amendment No. 7 relates
         to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common
         Stock"), of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation, a Maryland corpora-
         tion formerly named Carr Realty Corporation ("Carr").  Capital-
         ized terms used herein without definition shall have the mean-

                   This Amendment No. 7 is filed to report the acquisi-
         tion of certain shares of Common Stock since February 3, 1997.
         A schedule identifying all transactions involving shares of
         Common Stock effected by USRealty since February 3, 1997 is in-
         cluded as Annex A hereto which is incorporated by reference
         herein.  Except for the purchase by USRealty of 2,464,286
         shares of Common Stock on April 18, 1997 in an offering di-
         rectly from Carr (which is described below), each of such
         transactions was executed in stock market transactions.  The
         funds used by USRealty to purchase such shares were obtained
         from drawdowns under the Facility Agreement.

                   On April 18, 1997, USRealty purchased 2,464,286
         shares of Common Stock directly from Carr for an aggregate pur-
         chase price of $64,995,543.25, or $26.375 per share, pursuant
         to a Subscription Agreement, dated as of April 14, 1997, by and
         among Carr, Holdings and Security Capital U.S. Realty (the
         "Subscription Agreement").  Such purchase was effected concur-
         rently with an underwritten public offering by Carr of
         5,750,000 shares of Common Stock.  These funds were obtained by
         USRealty from draw downs under the Facility Agreement.  No un-
         derwriting discounts were applied to any shares of Common Stock
         purchased by USRealty pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

         ing.

                   NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and

         1.   SUBSCRIPTION; CLOSING

              1.1.  SUBSCRIPTION FOR COMPANY COMMON STOCK

                   (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Sub-
         scriber hereby subscribes (the "Subscription") to purchase that
         number of shares of Company Common Stock (the "Concurrent
         Shares") equal to the lesser of (i) 2,142,857 shares of Company
         Common Stock, or (ii) that number (the "Reduced Number") of
         shares of Company Common Stock which is equal to thirty percent
         (30%) of the sum of the number of Public Shares sold in the
         Public Offering (excluding any Public Shares sold as a result
         of the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option in
         connection with the Public Offering) and the Reduced Number.

                   (b)  Investor hereby agrees that the Subscription
         represents the complete and exclusive exercise of its Partici-
         pation Rights with regard to the Public Offering, provided that
         the number of Public Shares to be sold in the Public Offering
         does not exceed 5,000,000 (excluding any Public Shares sold as
         a result of the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
         option in connection with the Public Offering).  The Company
         reserves the right to terminate the Public Offering for any
         reason or for no reason, to sell less than all of the Public
         Shares in the Public Offering or to increase the number of Pub-
         lic Shares sold in the Public Offering.

              1.2.  ACCEPTANCE OF SUBSCRIPTION

                   Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Com-
         pany hereby accepts the Subscription.

              1.3.  PURCHASE PRICE

                   The per share purchase price (the "Per Share Purchase
         Price") for the Concurrent Shares shall be the same as the per
         share public offering price of the Company Common Stock in the
         Public Offering.  The aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase
         Price") shall be equal to the Per Share Purchase Price multi-
         plied by the number of Concurrent Shares.  The Company reserves
         the right to establish the per share public offering price of
         the Public Shares in the Public Offering, and nothing in this
         Agreement shall be construed to grant Subscriber or any Inves-
         tor any right to participate in the establishment of the per
         share public offering price of the Company Common Stock in the

         immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account or
         accounts specified by the Company.

         comply in all material respects with the requirements of the
         Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC under the
         Exchange Act, and, when read together with the other informa-
         tion in the Company Prospectus, as of the date hereof and as of
         the date of the Closing, did not and will not include an untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
         required to be stated therein or necessary to make the state-
         ments therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
         they were made, not misleading.

                   (c)  Since the respective dates as of which informa-
         tion is given in the Company Prospectus, except as otherwise
         stated therein, (A) there has been no change in the condition,
         financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, assets or business
         affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries considered as one
         enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of
         business, except as would not reasonably be expected to, indi-
         vidually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Ef-
         fect, (B) no casualty loss or condemnation or other event with

         verse Effect, (C) except for regular quarterly dividends on the
         Common Stock and dividends on the Preferred Stock in amounts
         per share that are consistent with past practice, there has 
         been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid
         or made by the Company on any class of its capital stock or by
         either of the Partnerships with respect to its Units, and (D)
         with the exception of transactions in connection with stock
         options and in connection with dividend reinvestment plans, the

         of the Partnerships and the issuance of Units of the Partner-

         thereto) included in, or incorporated by reference into, the
         Company Prospectus present fairly the financial position of the

         and the results of their operations for the respective periods
         specified and, except as otherwise stated in the Company Pro-
         spectus, said financial statements have been prepared in con-

         trolled Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects

         pany's knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its
         Significant Subsidiaries that would, individually or in the
         aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Ad-
         verse Effect, or which question the validity hereof or any ac-
         tion taken or to be taken in connection herewith.  There are no
         continuing orders, injunctions or decrees of any Government
         Authority to which the Company or any of its Significant Sub-
         sidiaries is a party or by which any of its properties or as-
         sets are bound.

                   (b)  None of the Company or its Significant Subsid-
         iaries is in violation of any statute, rule, regulation, order,
         writ, decree or injunction of any Government Authority or any
         body having jurisdiction over them or any of their respective
         properties which, if enforced, would, individually or in the
         aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Ad-
         verse Effect.

              2.7.  TAX MATTERS; REIT AND PARTNERSHIP STATUS

                   (a)  The Company (i) was eligible to and did validly
         elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of
         the Code effective as of its taxable year ended December 31,
         1993, and does not intend, in its federal income tax return for
         the tax year ended December 31, 1996 and in its federal income
         tax return for the tax year that will end on December 31, 1997
         to revoke such election, (ii) has not, to its knowledge, taken
         or omitted to take any action that would reasonably be expected
         to result in a termination of or challenge to its status as a
         REIT, (iii) is not aware that any such challenge is pending or


                                       -7-<PAGE>







         threatened, (iv) intends to continue to operate in such a
         manner as to qualify as a REIT for 1997, and (v) to the
         Company's knowledge, and assuming the accuracy of Subscriber's
         representation in Section 3.7, will not be rendered unable to
         qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes as a conse-
         quence of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                   (b)  Each Partnership and each subsidiary of the Com-
         pany organized as a partnership (and any other subsidiary of
         the Company that files tax returns as a partnership for federal
         income tax purposes) was and continues to be classified as a
         partnership for federal income tax purposes.

                   (c)  For purposes of this Section 2.7, no representa-
         tion set forth in Section 2.7 shall be deemed to be untrue un-
         less such untruths would, individually or in the aggregate, be
         reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

              2.8.  COMPLIANCE WITH ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS

                   Neither the Company nor any of its Significant Sub-
         sidiaries is in default under or in violation of any provision
         of the Company Charter or the By-laws of the Company or the
         Partnership Agreement (or equivalent documents), except for
         such defaults or violations which would not, individually or in
         the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
         Adverse Effect.

              2.9.  MARYLAND TAKEOVER LAW

                   The terms of Section 3-602 and Subtitle 7 of Title 3
         of the Maryland General Corporation Law will not apply to Sub-
         scriber, the Subscription or any other transaction contemplated

         4.   CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

              4.1.  CONDITIONS TO OBLIGATIONS OF SUBSCRIBER

                   The obligations of Subscriber to purchase and pay for
         the Concurrent Shares at the Closing are subject to satisfac-
         tion or waiver of each of the following conditions precedent:

                   (a)  All conditions to the closing of the Public
         Offering as set forth in the underwriting agreement between the
         Company and the underwriters for the Public Offering, other
         than conditions relating to the transactions contemplated by
         this Agreement (if any), shall have been satisfied or waived,
         and the Company shall have delivered to Subscriber at the Clos-
         ing a certificate of an appropriate officer in form and sub-
         stance reasonably satisfactory to Subscriber dated the date of
         the Closing to such effect.

         pany contained herein shall have been true and correct in all


                                       -10-<PAGE>







         respects on and as of the date hereof, and shall be true and
         correct in all respects on and as of the Closing with the same
         effect as though such representations and warranties had been
         made on and as of the date of the Closing (except for represen-
         tations and warranties that speak as of a specific date or time
         other than the date of the Closing (which need only be true and
         correct in all respects as of such date or time)), other than,
         in all such cases, such failures to be true and/or correct as
         would not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a
         Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that if any of the
         representations and warranties is already qualified in any re-
         spect by materiality or as to Material Adverse Effect for pur-
         poses of this Section 4.1(b) such materiality or Material Ad-
         verse Effect qualification will be in all respects ignored (but
         subject to the overall standard as to Material Adverse Effect
         set forth immediately prior to this proviso).  The Company
         shall have delivered to Subscriber at the Closing a certificate
         of an appropriate officer in form and substance reasonably sat-
         isfactory to Subscriber dated the date of the Closing to such
         effect.

                   In making any determination as to Material Adverse
         Effect under this Section 4.1(b), the matters set forth in each
         such Section shall be aggregated and considered together.

                   (c)  There shall not be in effect any order, decree
         or injunction of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction
         which enjoins or prohibits consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby and there shall be no pending Actions which
         would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
         on the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions
         contemplated hereby or to issue the Concurrent Shares.

                   (d)  The Company shall not have taken any action or
         have failed to take any action which would reasonably be ex-
         pected to, alone or in conjunction with any other factors, re-
         sult in the loss of its status as a REIT for federal income tax
         purposes.

              4.2.  CONDITIONS TO OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY

         Concurrent Shares at the Closing are subject to satisfaction or
         waiver of each of the following conditions precedent:

                   (a)  All conditions to the closing of the Public
         Offering as set forth in the underwriting agreement between the
         Company and the underwriters for the Public Offering, other
         than conditions relating to the transactions contemplated by
         this Agreement (if any), shall have been satisfied or waived.

                   (b)  The representations and warranties of Subscriber
         and the Advancing Party contained herein shall have been true
         and correct in all respects on and as of the date hereof, and
         shall be true and correct in all respects on and as of the
         Closing with the same effect as though such representations and
         warranties had been made on and as of the date of the Closing
         (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a
         specific date or time other than the date of the Closing (which
         need only be true and correct in all respects as of such date
         or time)), other than, in all such cases, such failures to be
         true and/or correct as would not in the aggregate reasonably be
         expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Subscriber shall
         have delivered to the Company at the Closing a certificate of
         an appropriate officer in form and substance reasonably satis-
         factory to the Company dated the date of the Closing to such
         effect.

                   (c)  There shall not be in effect any order, decree
         or injunction of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction
         which enjoins or prohibits consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby and there shall be no pending Actions which
         would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
         on the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions
         contemplated hereby or to issue the Concurrent Shares.

              5.1.  SURVIVAL

         ments of the parties contained herein, including indemnity or
         indemnification agreements contained herein, shall survive the
         Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing.  No Action
         or proceeding may be brought with respect to any of the repre-
         sentations, warranties, covenants or agreements unless written
         notice thereof, setting forth in reasonable detail the claimed
         misrepresentation or breach of warranty or breach of covenant
         or agreement, shall have been delivered to the party alleged to
         have breached such representation or warranty or such covenant
         or agreement prior to the first anniversary of the Closing.
         Those covenants or agreements that contemplate or may involve
         actions to be taken or obligations in effect after the Closing
         shall survive in accordance with their terms.

              5.2.  INDEMNIFICATION BY SUBSCRIBER OR THE COMPANY

                   (a)  Subject to Section 5.1, from and after the Clos-
         ing, Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
         its successors and assigns, from and against any and all Loss


                                       -12-<PAGE>







         and Expenses suffered, directly or indirectly, by the Company
         by reason of, or arising out of, (i) any breach as of the date
         made or deemed made or required to be true of any representa-
         tion or warranty made by Subscriber in or pursuant to this
         Agreement, or (ii) any failure by Subscriber to perform or ful-
         fill any of its covenants or agreements set forth herein.  Not-
         withstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the con-
         trary, in no event shall Loss and Expenses include a party's
         incidental or consequential damages.

                   (b)  Subject to Section 5.1, from and after the Clos-
         ing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Subscriber,
         its successors and assigns, from and against any and all Loss
         and Expenses, suffered, directly or indirectly, by Subscriber
         by reason of, or arising out of, any breach as of the date made
         or deemed made or required to be true of any representation or
         warranty made by the Company in or pursuant to this Agreement
         and any statements made in any certificate delivered pursuant
         to this Agreement, or (ii) any failure by the Company to per-
         form or fulfill any of its covenants or agreements set forth
         herein.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
         to the contrary, in no event shall Loss and Expenses include a
         party's incidental or consequential damages.

                   (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither Sub-
         scriber nor the Company shall be responsible for any Loss and
         Expenses as provided by paragraphs (a) and (b), respectively,
         of this Section 5.2, until the cumulative aggregate amount of
         such Loss and Expenses suffered by Subscriber or the Company,
         as the case may be, exceeds $500,000, in which case Subscriber
         or the Company, as the case may be, shall then be liable for
         all such Loss and Expenses, and (ii) the cumulative aggregate
         indemnity obligation of each of Subscriber and the Company un-
         der this Section 5.2 shall in no event exceed the Purchase
         Price.  Except with respect to third-party claims being de-
         fended in good faith or claims for indemnification with respect
         to which there exists a good faith dispute, the indemnifying
         party shall satisfy its obligations hereunder within 30 days of
         receipt of a notice of claim under this Section 5.

              5.3.  THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS

                   If a claim by a third party is made against Sub-
         scriber or the Advancing Party or the Company (each, an "Indem-
         nified Party") and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek
         indemnity with respect thereto under this Section 5, such In-
         demnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in
         writing of such claims setting forth such claims in reasonable
         detail.  The indemnifying party shall have 20 days after re-
         ceipt of such notice to undertake, through counsel of its own


                                       -13-<PAGE>







         choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense
         thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in
         connection therewith; provided, however, that the Indemnified
         Party may participate in such settlement or defense through
         counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided that the
         fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indem-
         nified Party.  The Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle
         any claim which the indemnifying party is contesting.  Notwith-
         standing the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the
         right to pay or settle any such claim, provided that in such
         event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the
         indemnifying party.  If the indemnifying party does not notify
         the Indemnified Party within 20 days after the receipt of the
         Indemnified Party's notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder
         that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemni-
         fied Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compro-
         mise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indem-
         nity therefor pursuant to this Agreement.
