THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
entered into as of December 18, 1997 by and among CarrAmerica
Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"),
Security Capital U.S. Realty, a Luxembourg corporation (the
"Advancing Party"), and Security Capital Holdings S.A., a
Luxembourg corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Advancing Party ("Subscriber"). Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in
the Stockholders Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
WHEREAS, in connection with the Company's issuance
and sale to Subscriber on April 30, 1996 of 11,627,907 shares
of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Company Common Stock"), the Company, Xxxx Realty, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("Xxxx Realty, L.P."), the
Advancing Party and Subscriber entered into a Stockholders
Agreement on such date (the "Stockholders Agreement");
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders
Agreement, in the event that the Company issues or sells shares
of capital stock of the Company, Investor is, during a
specified term, entitled (except in certain limited
circumstances) to a participation right to purchase, or
subscribe for, a total number of shares generally equal to up
to 30% of the total number of shares of capital stock proposed
to be issued by the Company (the "Participation Rights");
WHEREAS, the Company currently intends to issue and
to offer and sell in public offerings (the "Public Offerings")
up to shares (the "Public Shares") of Company Common
Stock;
WHEREAS, in connection with the Public Shares
proposed to be issued by the Company in the Public Offering,
Investor is entitled to, and has indicated to the Company that
it desires to, exercise its Participation Rights; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Investor's desire to
exercise its Participation Rights, the Company desires to issue
and sell to Subscribe shares of Company Common Stock in
offerings (the "Concurrent Purchases") from the Company to
Subscriber to be consummated concurrently with the Public
Offerings.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and
of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. SUBSCRIPTION; CLOSING
1.1. SUBSCRIPTION FOR COMPANY COMMON STOCK
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
Subscriber hereby subscribes (the "Subscription") to purchase
that number of shares of Company Common Stock (the "Concurrent
Shares") equal to the lesser of (i) 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 Offerings and the Reduced Number.
(b) Investor hereby agrees that the Subscription
represents the complete and exclusive exercise of its
Participation Rights with regard to the Public Offerings,
provided that the number of Public Shares to be sole in the
Public Offerings do not exceed . The Company reserves the
right to terminate the Public Offerings for any reason or for
no reason, to sell less than all of the Public Shares in the
Public Offerings or to increase the number of Public Shares
sold in the Public Offerings.
1.2. ACCEPTANCE OF SUBSCRIPTION
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Company 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 Offerings. The aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase
Price") shall be equal to the Per Share Purchase Price
multiplied 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 Offerings, and nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to grant Subscriber or any
Investor any right to participate in the establishment of the
per share public offering price of the Company Common Stock in
the Public Offerings.
1.4. CLOSING

closing of the Concurrent Purchases (the "Closing") shall occur

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 under this Section 5.2 shall in no event exceed the
Purchase Price. Except with respect to third-party claims
being defended in good faith or claims for indemnification with
respect to which there exists a good faith dispute, the indem-
nifying 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 Subscri-
ber or the Advancing Party or the Company (each, an "Indemni-
fied Party") and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek
indemnity with respect thereto under this Section 5, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party
in
-12-
writing of such claims setting forth such claims in reasonable
detail. The indemnifying party shall have 20 days after
receipt of such notice to undertake, through counsel of its own
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
Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not pay or
settle any claim which the indemnifying party is contesting.
Notwithstanding 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
Indemnified Party shall have right to contest, settle or
compromise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to
indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement.
