                         OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
                      UNITED DOMINION REALTY TRUST, INC.
                     ADOPTED BY UNANIMOUS WRITTEN CONSENT

     The undersigned members of the Debt Pricing Committee established by the
resolutions adopted February 22, 2000 (the "Resolutions") of the Board of
Directors of United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), by and in
accordance with the authority granted to the Debt Pricing Committee in the
Resolutions, do hereby adopt, by unanimous written consent, the following
resolutions, terms used and not otherwise defined herein being defined in the
Resolutions and in the Indenture (as defined below):

     WHEREAS, the Debt Pricing Committee has determined to designate a series of

Indenture dated as of November 1, 1995 (the "Indenture"), from the Company to
First Union National Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee"); and

     WHEREAS, the Debt Pricing Committee has determined to offer and sell the
Notes to Banc of America Securities LLC, First Union Securities, Inc., Chase
Securities Inc., Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (collectively, the "Underwriters"),

related pricing agreement between the Company, the Operating Entities and the
Underwriters (together, the "Underwriting Agreement") for reoffering by the
Underwriters to the public.

     NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that in accordance with Section 301 of the
Indenture, the following terms of the Notes are hereby established (terms not

     exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306
     or 906 of the Indenture) shall be $100,000,000.  Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, this series of Securities may be reopened, without the consent
     of the Holders, for issuances of additional Notes so long as any such
     additional Notes carry the same rights to accrued and unpaid interest, and
     otherwise have the same terms and provisions and are in substantially the
     same form, as the Notes then outstanding.

     paid or duly provided for; the Interest Payment Dates on which such
     interest will be payable shall be March 15 and September 15 of each year,
     commencing September 15, 2000; the Regular Record Dates for the interest
     payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be the March 1 or
     September 1 next preceding an Interest Payment Date; and the basis upon
     which interest shall be calculated shall be that of a 360-day year
     consisting of twelve 30-day months.

          5.  The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, Charlotte, North
     Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia, are each designated as a Place of Payment

          6.  The Notes shall not be subject to redemption at the option of the
     Company or subject to redemption at the option of the Holders and will not
     be subject to any mandatory sinking fund requirements.

     be determined with reference to an index, formula or other similar method.

          8.  Neither principal of nor interest on the Notes shall be payable in
     a currency other than that in which they are denominated.

          9.  The Notes shall be issuable only as Registered Securities in
     permanent global form (without coupons) and will be issued in denominations
     of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Beneficial owners of interests in
     the permanent global Note may exchange such interests for definitive
     certificated Notes registered in a name other than that of the Depository

     further changes as may be approved by any officer of the Company executing
     such certificates on behalf of the Company, such approval to be
     conclusively evidenced by such execution.

          10.  Except as provided in Section 307 of the Indenture with respect
     to Defaulted Interest, interest on any Note shall be payable only to the
     Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities
     thereof) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
     for such interest.

          11.  Sections 1402 and 1403 of the Indenture shall be applicable to
     the Notes.

          12.  The Company shall not pay Additional Amounts as contemplated by
     Section 1011 of the Indenture on the Notes.

     RESOLVED, that the Notes shall be sold to the Underwriters at a price equal
to 99.526% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, if any, and the initial public offering price of the Notes shall be
99.876% of the principal amount thereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest

evidencing the Notes) under its corporate seal attested by its Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary, to execute and deliver the Notes and the Underwriting
Agreement, substantially in the respective forms approved hereby, with such
changes as shall have been approved by the executing officer, such approval to
be conclusively evidenced by the execution (by manual or facsimile signature)
thereof by the executing officer), provided that any such change shall be
consistent with all determinations made by the Debt Pricing Committee in these
resolutions; and further

     RESOLVED, that the form, terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the
execution and delivery thereof by the officers of the Company who signed and

                      UNITED DOMINION REALTY TRUST, INC.
                             8.625% NOTE DUE 2003

     UNITED DOMINION REALTY TRUST, INC., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter

on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in the City of Richmond, State of Virginia, or elsewhere as

private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of
interest may

                                       5
<PAGE>

be made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as
such address shall appear in the Security Register kept for the Notes pursuant
to Section 305 of the Indenture (the "Note Register") or (ii) transfer to an
account of the Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company
(herein called the "Notes"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under
an Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1995 (herein called the "Indenture"),
between the Company and First Union National Bank (formerly First Union National
Bank of Virginia) (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Notes), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the
terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Note is one of the series designated as the "8.625% Notes Due 2003," initially
limited in aggregate principal amount to $100,000,000.

     This Note is not redeemable at the option of the Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive
covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the
Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions
set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Note.

     If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect
to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any
other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes at the
time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the
Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding a
direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any
such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of
this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest
on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and

                                       6
<PAGE>

their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Note.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at
the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register, upon
surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of
the Company in any Place of Payment where the principal of and interest on this
Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar for the
Notes (the "Note Registrar") duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Note, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such or, against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or
of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under
any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of
any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Note by
the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

     All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES, INCLUDING THIS NOTE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.
