                                   ARTICLE IV

                  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ISSUER

        SECTION 4.01. THE ISSUER. The Issuer hereby makes the following
representations and warranties to the Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, and the
Purchaser shall be deemed to have relied on such representations and warranties
in purchasing the Notes:

        (a) The Issuer has been duly organized and is validly existing and in
good standing as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware,
with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the
business in which it is now engaged, and is duly qualified to do business and is
in good standing (or is exempt from such requirements) in each State of the
United States where the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified
and the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would have a material
adverse effect on the Issuer or any of the Properties or any adverse effect on
the interests of the Purchaser.

        (b) The issuance, sale, assignment and conveyance of the Notes, the
performance of the Issuer's obligations under each Basic Document to which it is
a party and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not
conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
(other than any Lien created by the Basic Documents), charge or encumbrance upon
any of the property or assets of the Issuer or any of its Affiliates pursuant to
the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other
agreement or instrument to which it or any of its Affiliates is bound or to
which any of its property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in
any violation of the provisions of its organizational documents or any
Governmental Rule applicable to the Issuer, in each case which could be expected
to have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated therein.

        (c) No Governmental Action which has not been obtained is required by or
with respect to the Issuer in connection with the execution and delivery to the
Purchaser of the Notes. No Governmental Action which has not been obtained is
required by or with respect to the Issuer in connection with the execution and
delivery of any of the Basic Documents to which the Issuer is a party or the
consummation by the Issuer of the transactions contemplated thereby except for
any requirements under state securities or "blue sky" laws in connection with
any transfer of the Notes.

        (d) The Issuer possesses all material licenses, certificates,
authorities or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign
regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by
it, and has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such license, certificate, authority or permit which, singly
or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or
finding, would materially and adversely affect its condition, financial or
otherwise, or its earnings, business affairs or business prospects.

                                        7
<PAGE>   12

        (e) Each of the Basic Documents to which the Issuer is a party has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and is a valid and legally
binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance
with its terms, subject to enforcement of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general principles of equity.

        (f) The execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of each of its
obligations under each of the Basic Documents to which it is a party will not
result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a
party or by which the Issuer is bound or to which any of its properties are
subject or of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Issuer of any
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties, in each case which could
be expected to have a material adverse effect on any of the transactions
contemplated therein.

        (g) The Issuer is not in violation of its organizational documents or in
default under any agreement, indenture or instrument the effect of which
violation or default would be material to the Issuer or the transactions
contemplated by the Basic Documents. The Issuer is not a party to, bound by or
in breach or violation of any indenture or other agreement or instrument, or
subject to or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
over the Issuer that materially and adversely affects, or may in the future
materially and adversely affect (i) the ability of the Issuer to perform its
obligations under any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party or (ii) the
business, operations, financial condition, properties, assets or prospects of
the Issuer.

        (h) There are no actions or proceedings against, or investigations of,
the Issuer pending, or, to the knowledge of the Issuer threatened, before any
Governmental Authority, court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other
tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of any of the Basic Documents, or (ii)
seeking to prevent the issuance of the Notes or the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents or the Notes, or (iii) that, if
adversely determined, could materially and adversely affect the business,
operations, financial condition, properties, assets or prospects of the Issuer
or the validity or enforceability of, or the performance by the Issuer of its
respective obligations under, any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party
or (iv) seeking to affect adversely the income tax attributes of the Notes.

        (i) The Issuer is not, and neither the issuance and sale of the Notes to
the Purchaser nor the activities of the Issuer pursuant to the Basic Documents,
shall render the Issuer an "investment company" or under the "control" of an
"investment company" as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT").

        (j) It is not necessary to qualify the Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

undertakings.

        (l) The chief executive offices of the Issuer are located at 12240
Inwood Road, Suite 200, Dallas, Texas, 75244.

        (m) There are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the
Issuer and any Person granting such Person the right to require the filing at
any time of a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to
the Notes.

        SECTION 4.02. SECURITIES ACT. Assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of and compliance with the covenants of the
Purchaser, contained herein, the sale of the Notes pursuant to this Note
Purchase Agreement is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act. In the case of the offer or sale of the
Notes, no form of general solicitation or general advertising was used by the
Issuer, any Affiliates of the Issuer or any person acting on its or their

the Securities Act or any other securities law.

        SECTION 5.04. CONFLICTS WITH LAW . The execution, delivery and
performance by the Purchaser of its obligations under this Note Purchase
Agreement will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument to
which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound or of any
statute, order or regulation applicable to the Purchaser of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
over the Purchaser, in each case which could be expected to have a material

not a party to, bound by or in breach or violation of any indenture or other
agreement or instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

        SECTION 8.01. INDEMNIFICATION OF PURCHASER. The Issuer hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or judgments (including accounting fees
and reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with this
Note Purchase Agreement or any other Basic Document and any action, suit or
proceeding or any claim asserted) (collectively, "LOSSES"), as incurred (payable
promptly upon written request), for or on account of or arising from or in
connection with any information prepared by and furnished or to be furnished by
any of the Issuer, USV, USRP, the Property Manager or any Guarantor pursuant to
or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including, without
limitation, such written information as may have been and may be furnished in
connection with any due diligence investigation with respect to the business,
operations, financial condition of the Issuer, USV, USRP, the Property Manager
or any Guarantor or with respect to the Properties, the Leases or the Tenants,
to the extent such information contains any untrue statement of material fact or
omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained
therein in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made
not misleading, except with respect to any such information used by such
Indemnified Party in violation of the Basic Documents which results in such
Losses. The indemnities contained in this Section 8.01 will be in addition to
any liability which the Issuer or USV, USRP, the Property Manager or any
Guarantor may otherwise have pursuant to this Note Purchase Agreement and any
other Basic Document.

        SECTION 8.02. PROCEDURE AND DEFENSE. In case any action or proceeding
(including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be
instituted involving any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 8.01, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify
the Issuer in writing and, upon request of the Indemnified Party, the Issuer
shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party and
any others the indemnifying party may designate and shall pay the reasonable
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding; provided that
failure to give such notice or deliver such documents shall not affect the
rights to indemnity hereunder unless such failure materially prejudices the
rights of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will have the right to
employ its own counsel in any such action in addition to the counsel of the
Issuer, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the
expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the employment of counsel by the
Indemnified Party at its expense has been reasonably authorized in writing by
the Issuer, (ii) the Issuer has not in fact employed counsel to assume the
defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the
commencement of the action or (iii) the named parties to any such action or
proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the Issuer and one or more
Indemnified Parties, and the Indemnified Parties shall have been advised by
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to them which are
materially different from or additional to those available to the Issuer.
Reasonable expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Party

                                       17
<PAGE>   22

shall be reimbursed by the Issuer as they are incurred. The Issuer shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding affected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party
from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
The Issuer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect
of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

        SECTION 9.04. BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNABILITY.

        (a) This Note Purchase Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the

hereunder or interest herein (by operation of law or otherwise) without the
prior written consent of the Purchaser.

        (b) The Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business and in

Participant, the Purchaser's rights and obligations under this Note Purchase
Agreement shall remain unchanged, the Purchaser shall remain solely responsible
for the performance thereof, and the Issuer shall continue to deal solely and
directly with the Purchaser and shall have no obligations to deal with any
Participant in connection with the Purchaser's rights and obligations under this
Note Purchase Agreement.

with respect to the Notes shall have been paid in full.

        SECTION 9.05. PROVISION OF DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION. The Issuer
acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is permitted to provide to any
subsequent Purchaser, permitted assignees and Participants, opinions,
certificates, documents and other information relating to the Issuer and the
Properties delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to this Note Purchase Agreement
provided that with respect to Confidential Information, such subsequent
Purchaser, permitted assignees and Participants agree to be bound by Section

OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

name of and on behalf Issuer and the Indenture Trustee.

        1.2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PROPERTY MANAGER.

        (a) The Property Manager represents and warrants to the other parties
hereto, and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders, as of the Closing Date:

                  (i) The Property Manager is a limited partnership duly created
        and validly existing, in good standing under the laws of the State of
        Delaware and is in compliance with the laws of each State in which any
        Property is located to the extent the failure to be so in compliance
        would affect materially and adversely the enforceability of the related
        Lease and its performance under this Agreement;

                  (ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
        Property Manager, and the performance and compliance with the terms of
        this Agreement by the Property Manager, will not violate its
        organizational documents or constitute an event which, with notice or
        lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default under, or result in
        the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is
        a party or by which it is bound;

                  (iii) The Property Manager has the full power and authority to
        enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this
        Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance
        of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement;

                                        1

<PAGE>   2

                  (iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
        delivery by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal
        and binding obligation of the Property Manager, enforceable against the
        Property Manager in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A)
        applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
        laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (B)
        general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is
        considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

                  (v) The Property Manager is not in violation of, and its
        execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and
        compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a
        violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or
        any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local
        governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Property
        Manager's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect
        materially and adversely either the ability of the Property Manager to
        perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition
        of the Property Manager; and

                  (vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Property
        Manager's knowledge, threatened against the Property Manager that, if
        determined adversely to the Property Manager, would prohibit the
        Property Manager from entering into this Agreement or that, in the
        Property Manager's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to
        materially and adversely affect either the ability of the Property
        Manager to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial
        condition of the Property Manager.

        (b) The representations and warranties of the Property Manager set forth
in this Section 1.2 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and shall inure to the benefit of the Persons to whom and for whose benefit they
were made until all amounts owed to the Noteholders under or in connection with
this Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes have been indefeasibly paid in full.
Upon discovery by any party hereto of any breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties.

        (c) Any successor Property Manager shall be deemed to have made, as of
the date of its succession, each of the representations and warranties set forth
in Section 1.2(a), subject to such appropriate modifications to the
representation and warranty set forth in Section 1.2(a)(i) to accurately reflect
such successor's jurisdiction of organization and whether it is a corporation,
partnership, bank, association or other type of organization.

        1.3. RECORDINGS AND FILINGS; BOOKS AND RECORDS; DOCUMENT DEFECTS.

        (a) In connection with the Grant made by the Issuer to the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of the Indenture and the delivery of the
Lease Files for the Leases to the Indenture Trustee in furtherance of such
Grant, (1) each Mortgage and UCC Financing Statement referred to in the
definition of "Lease File" in the Indenture has been submitted to the
appropriate Title Company (as defined below) on or before the Closing Date for
recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for
real property records or for UCC Financing Statements, at the expense of USRP
and (2) each title insurance binder or commitment referred to in the definition
of "Lease File" herein shall be issued as a final title insurance policy by the
title companies (the "Title Companies") issuing same (the "Title Insurance
Policies"). Each such Mortgage shall

                                      2
<PAGE>   3

reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the
Indenture Trustee following recording, and each such UCC Financing Statement
shall reflect that the file copy thereof should be returned to the Indenture
Trustee following filing, provided that, in those instances where the public
recording office retains the original Mortgage, the Property Manager, on behalf
of the Indenture Trustee, shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the
recorded original. Each of the Title Companies issuing the Title Insurance
Policies have been instructed to deliver such policies to the Indenture Trustee.
The Property Manager, on behalf of Indenture Trustee, shall diligently pursue
with the Title Companies the return of each of the Mortgages and UCC Financing
Statements from the appropriate recording or filing offices and the delivery of
the Title Insurance Policies by the related Title Companies. If any such
document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case
may be, because of a defect therein, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the
Property Manager and the Property Manager shall promptly prepare and cause to be
executed a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter, the Property Manager shall cause the same to be duly recorded or
filed, as appropriate. The Property Manager shall perform all obligations that
the Indenture Trustee may have under the Mortgages prepared for Properties
located in the States of Missouri and Pennsylvania. The Indenture Trustee shall
cooperate as necessary for the Property Manager to perform such obligations.

        The Issuer shall, to the same extent set forth in the Indenture,
reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Indenture Trustee from any loss,
liability or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the
Property Manager's performance of the Indenture Trustee's obligations under any
Mortgage.

        (b) The Issuer shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be
delivered to and deposited with, the Property Manager all documents and records
in the possession of the Issuer or USRP that relate to the Properties and the
Leases and that are not required to be a part of a Lease File in accordance with
the definition thereof, and the Property Manager shall hold all such documents
and records in trust on behalf of the Indenture Trustee. The Property Manager's
possession of such documents and records shall be at the will of the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the
Properties and Leases pursuant to this Agreement and such possession by the
Property Manager shall be in a custodial capacity only on behalf of the
Indenture Trustee. The ownership of such documents and records shall be vested
in the Issuer, subject to the lien of the Indenture, and the ownership of all
documents and records with respect to the Properties and the Leases that are
prepared by or which come into possession of the Property Manager shall
immediately vest in the Issuer, subject to the lien of the Indenture, and shall
be delivered to and deposited with the Property Manager and retained and
maintained in trust by the Property Manager in such custodial capacity only on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee, except as otherwise provided herein. All such
documents and records shall be appropriately marked to clearly reflect the
ownership of such documents and records by the Issuer, subject to the lien of
the Indenture and the applicable Mortgage, and that such documents and records
are being held on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, and the Property Manager
shall release such documents and records from its custody only in accordance
with this Agreement.

        (c) If any party hereto discovers that any document constituting a part
of a Lease File has not been properly executed, is missing, contains information
that does not conform in any respect with the corresponding information set
forth in Schedule 1 to the Contribution Agreement or does

                                      3
<PAGE>   4

not appear to be regular on its face (each, a "Document Defect"), or that any of
the representations or warranties of USRP set forth in Section 2 of the
Contribution Agreement are incorrect in any material respect (each, a "Breach"),
such party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties
thereto. Upon its discovery or receipt of notice of any such Document Defect or
Breach, the Property Manager shall notify USRP. If USRP does not correct any
Document Defect or Breach within the time periods and in accordance with the
provisions of the Contribution Agreement, the Property Manager, or if it fails
to do so, the Indenture Trustee, shall upon direction from the Directing
Noteholder and subject to the Indenture, on behalf of the Issuer, exercise such
rights and remedies as the Issuer may have (or the Indenture Trustee may have as
third party beneficiary) under the Contribution Agreement with respect to such
Document Defect or Breach, as applicable.

        (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a commitment to issue
a policy of owner's title insurance in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy
of owner's title insurance shall not be considered a Document Defect with
respect to any Lease File if such actual policy of insurance is delivered to the
Indenture Trustee not later than 270 days after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE II
                      PROPERTY MANAGER'S DUTIES AND POWERS

        2.1. GENERAL. The Property Manager shall manage, coordinate and
supervise the ordinary and usual business and affairs pertaining to the
operation, maintenance and management of the Properties. Without limiting the
foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement, the Property Manager shall
have such responsibilities and obligations, and shall perform and take, or cause
to be performed or taken, all services and actions customarily performed or
taken by property managers of properties which are similar in nature, location
and character to the Properties. The Property Manager shall take all action
necessary to cause compliance by the Issuer with its obligations under the
Indenture, including, without limitation, Article XI of the Indenture, and shall
perform all such duties and obligations specified to be performed by the
Property Manager in the Indenture, including, without limitation, Article XI of
the Indenture, as if fully set forth herein. The Property Manager shall perform
all of its duties in an efficient and economical manner, subject to the
direction of the Issuer and pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and the Indenture.

        2.2. COLLECTIONS OF RENTS AND OTHER MONIES.

        (a) Everything done by the Property Manager under the provisions of this
Article II shall be done as the agent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
and all obligations or expenses incurred hereunder shall, except as otherwise
specifically provided, be for the account of, on behalf of, and at the expense
of the Issuer payable from the proceeds of the Collateral as set forth in the
Indenture. The Property Manager shall use its best, diligent efforts to collect
all rents and other charges due from all Tenants at the Properties under their
respective Leases and shall deposit or cause to be deposited all such monies
into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.11 of this Agreement.

        (b) Except as otherwise directed in writing by the Issuer, the Property
Manager shall take all such actions as the Property Manager shall deem necessary
or advisable to collect the aforesaid rents and other charges and to enforce all
rights and remedies of the Issuer under the Leases or to protect the interests
of Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, including, without limitation, the
preparation

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

and delivery to Tenants of all "late payment," default and other appropriate
notices, requests, bills, demands and statements. The Property Manager may
retain, with the Issuer's prior consent, legal counsel, collection agencies and
such other persons and firms as the Property Manager shall deem appropriate or
advisable to enforce, the rights and remedies of the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee against any Tenant in default in the performance of its obligations
under a Lease.

        (c) Nothing herein shall be construed as a guarantee by the Property
Manager as to the credit worthiness of or of the collectibility of accounts
receivable from the Tenants.

        2.3. RENTING OF PREMISES. The Property Manager shall, and shall cause
the Issuer to, comply with the provisions of Section 11.03. The Property Manager
shall not be authorized to enter into a new lease or modify an existing Lease
without the Directing Noteholder's prior written approval, which approval shall
be obtained and given in accordance with Section 11.03(c) of the Indenture. In
the event the Property Manager obtains a new Tenant or a renewal of a Lease, the
Property Manager shall be entitled to pay a reasonable brokerage commission to
its employee who negotiated such Lease or renewal, and the brokerage commission
shall be a reimbursable expense hereunder. The Property Manager is also
authorized to incur reasonable outside brokerage fees in the leasing of a
Property and such brokerage commission shall be a reimbursable expense
hereunder.

        2.4. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The Property Manager shall use its diligent
best efforts to enforce Tenant's obligations under the Lease regarding the
Property's compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations and the
Property Manager shall renew, as necessary, all real estate permits and real
estate licenses which are legally required for the real estate operations of the
Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Property Manager shall have no
obligation to renew or maintain any license or permit required for operation of
a Tenant's business upon a Property.

        2.5. PERSONNEL. The Property Manager shall employ, compensate, retain,
supervise and discharge such employees as may be necessary for the proper and
efficient management and maintenance of the Property as the Property Manager is
obligated so to do hereunder, but nothing herein shall obligate the Property
Manager to maintain any employees at the Property as on-site managers. The
Property Manager shall employ, at its expense, all administrative, clerical and
other office personnel necessary to handle general administrative and financial
reporting duties set forth in this Agreement.

        2.6. PROFESSIONALS AND CONTRACTORS. The Property Manager shall (i)
identify and, upon the prior approval of the Directing Noteholder, enter into
contracts with architects, engineers, accountants, attorneys, tradesmen and
other independent contractors to perform services; and (ii) supervise the
administration and monitor the performance of all work to be performed and
services to be rendered under all such contracts. The Property Manager shall use
due care in the selection of all such professionals and other independent
contractors. However, the Directing Noteholder's prior approval shall not be
required (y) in any cases of emergency or where immediate action is necessary
for the protection or preservation of the Property or rental revenue, such
determination of emergency or immediacy being in the reasonable determination of
the Property Manager, provided that the Property Manager shall deliver written
notice to Issuer within twenty-four (24) hours after taking any

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

such action or (z) for any such services that do not exceed the least of $2,500
per month, $25,000 per contract and $150,000 in the aggregate per year.

        2.7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF PROPERTY. The Property Manager shall not
have the duty to maintain and repair the buildings, appurtenances or grounds of
the Property to the extent these are obligations of the Tenant under the Lease.
The Property Manager shall, however, have the authority and shall use its best
efforts to enforce such obligations of Tenant, and to institute legal
proceedings for the enforcement and/or collection therefor, and for the
dispossession of Tenants from the Property. In the event that the Property
Manager is unable to cause the Tenant to perform its obligations to maintain the
Property, the Property Manager shall cause the Property to be maintained and
repaired in a good and safe condition, at the expense of the Issuer as set forth
herein.

        2.8. TENANT RELATIONS AND DISPUTES.

        (a) The Property Manager shall develop and maintain good relations with
Tenants at each Property. The Property Manager shall receive, and use its best
efforts to attend to and resolve, all complaints of Tenants and shall attempt to
resolve any complaints, disputes or disagreements by or among Tenants.

        (b) The Property Manager shall periodically monitor or cause the
periodic monitoring of the occupancy of all Tenants to insure their compliance
with the terms and provisions of their respective Leases. The Property Manager
shall notify the respective Tenants, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Directing Noteholder of any violations of such Leases and use reasonable efforts
to cause such Tenants to correct such violations promptly.

        2.9. FINANCIAL SERVICES. The Property Manager shall: (i) maintain
accounts receivable and delinquency records; (ii) maintain rent rolls; (iii)
process and pay operating and capital invoices; (iv) make all other
disbursements provided in Paragraph 2.12 below; (v) maintain or cause to be
maintained books of account for Issuer's funds; (vi) deliver or cause to be
delivered the reports and information required pursuant to Paragraph 2.14 below;
and (vii) cause all federal and state income tax returns and other tax returns
and reports to be prepared for the Issuer. The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee,
the Directing Noteholder and each Noteholder shall have full access, upon
reasonable prior notice, to all books, records and financial statements
maintained by the Property Manager on behalf of the Issuer.

        2.10. INSURANCE. The Property Manager shall maintain or cause to be
maintained on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee all forms of
insurance required under Section 11.01 of the Indenture.

        2.11. COLLECTION ACCOUNT. (a) The Property Manager shall establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Collection Account"), held on
behalf of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the
Issuer. The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Property
Manager shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, within
one Business Day after receipt (in the case of payments by Tenants or other
collections on the Leases), the following

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of the Property
Manager subsequent to the Closing Date (other than in respect of payments on the
Leases due and payable on or before the Closing Date, which payments shall be
delivered promptly to USRP or its designee, with negotiable instruments endorsed
as necessary and appropriate without recourse): (i) all payments on account of
Rent; (ii) all payments of other amounts payable by the Tenants under the Leases
(other than amounts in respect of Tenant security deposits and reserve or escrow
payments); (iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation
Proceeds received in respect of any Property; (iv) any amounts required to be
deposited by the Property Manager pursuant to the Indenture in connection with
losses resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket hazard policy; (v) any
other amounts required to be so deposited under this Agreement.

        The Property Manager will instruct each bank at which a lockbox and/or
lockbox account is maintained by the Property Manager for the purpose of
collecting Rents and other amounts due under Leases, including, without
limitation any account to which automated clearing house deposits are made by
Tenants, to transfer any of the foregoing collections and payments received in
any such lockbox and/or lockbox account to the Collection Account immediately
after such funds have cleared and become available in accordance with the
policies of such bank. The Property Manager shall not make any withdrawals from
any such lockbox or lockbox account except for transfers to the Collection
Account as provided in the preceding sentence.

        The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall
be exclusive. If the Property Manager shall deposit in the Collection Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw
such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Property Manager shall not make any withdrawals from the
Collection Account except in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof and this
Section 2.11. The Collection Account shall be maintained as a segregated
account, separate and apart from trust funds created for trust certificates or
bonds of other series serviced and the other accounts of the Property Manager.

        (b) Funds in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13.

        (c) Upon the establishment of the Lockbox Account under the Indenture,
the Property Manager shall close the Collection Account and deposit all amounts
then on deposit in the Collection Account to the Lockbox Account. Thereafter any
amounts received by the Property Manager shall be deposited to the Lockbox
Account within one Business Day of receipt.

        2.12. WITHDRAWALS FROM THE COLLECTION ACCOUNT.

        By 12:00 p.m. New York City time on each Remittance Date, the Property
Manager shall withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the Indenture
Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for deposit in the
Payment Account under the Indenture, an aggregate amount equal to all funds
available in the Collection Account on such Remittance Date (other than any
amounts therein that represent collections in respect of the Properties of
amounts due thereon after the related Determination Date which amount shall be
retained in the Collection Account for distribution on future Remittance Dates)
or amounts in respect of Tenant security deposits and

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

reserve or escrow payments which amounts shall be deposited into the related
Deposit Account or Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2.16, as applicable
within one Business Day after receipt.

        2.13. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS IN THE INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS.

        (a) The Property Manager shall direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account, the Deposit Accounts and the Escrow Accounts
(collectively, the "Investment Accounts") to invest the funds held therein in
one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
maturing, unless payable on demand, not later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the next succeeding Remittance Date. All such Permitted Investments
shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in
the Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Indenture Trustee (in
its capacity as such). The Property Manager shall promptly deliver to the
Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall maintain continuous
possession of, any Permitted Investment that is either (1) a "certificated
security," as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, or (ii) other
property in which a secured party may perfect its security interest by
possession under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. If
amounts on deposit in the Investment Account are at any time invested in a
Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Property Manager shall:

                (x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
        demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted
        Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the
        lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount
        required to be withdrawn on such date; and

                (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
        determination by the Property Manager that such Permitted Investment
        would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds
        thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the Investment
Account for each Collection Period shall be added to the amount remitted to the
Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Payment Account on the Remittance Date
for such Collection Period unless (with respect to any Deposit Account or Escrow
Account) otherwise required by law or the related Lease.

        (b) Whether or not the Property Manager directs the investment of funds
in the Investment Account, interest and investment income realized on funds
deposited therein shall be added to the amount required to be remitted to the
Indenture Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 on each Remittance Date. If
any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in
the Investment Account, the Property Manager shall promptly deposit therein from
its own funds, without right of reimbursement, not later than the end of the
Investment Period during which such loss was incurred, the amount of the net
investment loss, if any, for such Collection Period.

        (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the
institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

        2.14. REPORTING.

        (a) Not later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the Remittance Date,
the Property Manager shall deliver to each of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
and the Directing Noteholder a report containing such information with respect
to the Properties and the Leases as the Indenture Trustee or the Directing
Noteholder may reasonably request, including, without limitation, the
information set forth on Exhibit A hereto (such report, the "Determination Date
Report"), reflecting information as of the close of business on the last day of
the related Collection Period, in a mutually agreeable electronic format. The
Determination Date Report and any written information supplemental thereto shall
include such information with respect to the Properties and the Leases as is
required by the Indenture Trustee for purposes for making the calculations and
reports required to be made by it under the Indenture. Concurrent with the
delivery of the Determination Date Report, the Property Manager shall also
deliver a certification by the Property Manager that no Replacement Event (or
any other circumstance that but for the passage of time and/or the giving of
notice would result in a Replacement Event) under this Agreement then exists and
no Default or Event of Default under the Indenture then exists, or, if such a
Replacement Event, Default, Event of Default or other circumstance does exist,
specifying the details thereof. Such information shall be delivered by the
Property Manager to each of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Directing
Noteholder in CMSA format and such electronic or other form as may be reasonably
acceptable to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Directing Noteholder, as
applicable.

        (b) So long as USRP is the Property Manager, USRP shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Directing Noteholder:

                  (i) as soon as available and in any event within 90 days (or
        the next succeeding Business Day if the last day of such period is not a
        Business Day) after the end of each fiscal year of U.S. Restaurant
        Properties, Inc. ("USV"), a copy of the audited financial statements
        (including balance sheet, income statement and, if prepared, statement
        of cash flows) for such year for USV and its consolidated subsidiaries,
        certified by independent public accountants or recognized national
        standing, and

                  (ii) as soon as available and in any event within 45 days (or
        next succeeding Business Day if the last day of such period is not a
        Business Day) after the end of each fiscal quarter of USV, a balance
        sheet of USV and any consolidated subsidiaries of USV, as of the end of
        such quarter, and statements of income of USV and any consolidated
        subsidiaries of USV, for such quarter, certified by the chief financial
        officer or chief accounting officer of USV and stating the information
        set forth therein fairly presents the financial condition of USV and any
        consolidated subsidiaries of USV in accordance with GAAP as of and for
        the periods then ended, subject to normal year-end adjustments.

        (c) On each Remittance Date, the Property Manager shall determine
whether the amount being remitted from the Collection Account to the Indenture
Trustee on such Remittance Date will be sufficient to pay the all of the amounts
required to be paid pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) of

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

Section 3.02(b) of the Indenture on the immediately succeeding Payment Date. In
the event the Property Manager determines that such funds will not be sufficient
to pay all of such amounts on such Payment Date (a "Shortfall"), the Property
Manager shall notify the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Directing
Noteholder of such Shortfall on or before 12:00 p.m. New York City time on such

defined in the Contribution Agreement.

        2.16 DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AND ESCROW ACCOUNTS.

        (a) The Property Manger shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (the "Deposit Accounts"), into which all cash Tenant security deposits

amounts so deposited into a Deposit Account may be made only: (i) as directed by
the Issuer in writing; (ii) to refund to Tenants any sums required pursuant to
the Lease; (iii) to clear and terminate the Deposit Account at the termination
of this Agreement or (iv) to withdraw any amounts deposited in error. Funds on
deposit in the Deposit Accounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments in
accordance with Section 2.13, unless otherwise required by law or the terms of
the related Lease. The Property Manager shall pay interest and investment
income, if any, earned on the investment of funds in Deposit Accounts maintained
thereby to the related Tenants, if required by law or the terms of the related
Lease, or, if not so required, to the Collection Account for remittance to the
Indenture Trustee on each Remittance Date in accordance with Section 2.12.

        (b) The Property Manager shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (the "Escrow Accounts"), into which all reserve and/or escrow payments
made by or on behalf of the Tenants under the Leases, if any, shall be deposited
and retained. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited may be made only to pay for,
or to reimburse the related Tenant in connection with, the purposes for which
such reserve or escrow payments were made in accordance with the related Lease
and/or any agreement with the related Tenant governing such reserve and/or
escrow payments. All Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts, unless
otherwise required by the related Lease and/or any agreement with the related
Tenant governing such reserve and/or escrow payments.

payable on the related Payment Date in accordance with Section 3.02(b) of the
Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Property Management Fee shall be payable solely from the proceeds of the
Collateral in the priority and manner set forth in the Indenture.

<PAGE>   11

        3.2. USE AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. The Property Manager agrees to
not knowingly allow any Tenant to use or operate the Property for any purpose
which might void any policy of insurance held by Issuer or the Indenture Trustee
or which might render any loss thereunder uncollectible, or which would be in
violation of any governmental restriction, including but not limited to using,
generating, manufacturing, producing, storing, releasing, discharging, treating,
or disposing of, on, under, from or about a Property any Hazardous Materials in
violation of any Environmental Laws or allow any other person or entity to do
so. The Property Manager shall use its best efforts to secure full compliance by
Tenants with the terms and conditions of their respective Leases. The Property
Manager shall be expected to use its best efforts to perform such other acts and
deeds as are reasonable, necessary and proper in the discharge of its duties
under this Agreement.

        3.3. QUARTERLY STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE.

        The Property Manager shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
and the Directing Noteholder, as soon as available and in any event by March 31,
June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (or the next succeeding
Business Day if any such day is not a Business Day), beginning March 31, 2001,
an Officer's Certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review
of the activities of the Property Manager during the three calendar month period
then ended, and of its performance under this Agreement, has been made under
such officer's supervision, (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based
on such review, the Property Manager complied in all material respects
throughout such period with the minimum servicing standards in the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, to the extent applicable, and
fulfilled in all material respects throughout such period its obligations under
this Agreement or, if there was noncompliance with such standards or a default
in the fulfillment of any such obligation in any material respect, such
Officer's Certificate shall include a description of such noncompliance or
specify each such default, as the case may be, known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof.

        3.4. REPORTS BY INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.

        On or before September 30 of each year, beginning September 30, 2001,
the Property Manager, at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public
accountants (which may also render other services to the Property Manager) to
furnish to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Directing Noteholder a
report containing such firm's opinion that, on the basis of an examination
conducted by such firm substantially in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the assertion made
pursuant to Section 3.3 regarding compliance by the Property Manager with the
minimum servicing standards in the Uniform Single Attestation for Mortgage
Bankers during the preceding fiscal year is fairly stated in all material
respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that, in the
opinion of such firm, such institute's standards require it to report.

        3.5. ACCESS TO CERTAIN INFORMATION.

        The Property Manager shall afford to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee,
the Directing Noteholder, each Noteholder and to the OTS, the FDIC and any other
banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any
Noteholder, access to any records regarding

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

the Properties and the Leases and its servicing thereof within its control,
except to the extent it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law or
contract or to the extent such information is subject to a privilege under
applicable law to be asserted on behalf of the Issuer or the Noteholders. Such
access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written
request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Property Manager.

        3.6. PROPERTY MANAGER REPLACEMENT EVENTS.

        (a) "Replacement Event" means any one of the following events:

                  (i) any failure by the Property Manager to remit to the
        Collection Account, the Lockbox Account or the Payment Account (or to
        the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Payment Account) any amount
        as and when required to be so remitted pursuant to the terms of this
        Agreement; or

                  (ii) any failure on the part of the Property Manager duly to
        observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part
        of the Property Manager contained in this Agreement which continues
        unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written
        notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
        been given to the Property Manager by any other party hereto or the
        Directing Noteholder; or

                  (iii) any breach on the part of the Property Manager of any
        representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; or

                  (iv) there shall have been commenced before a court or agency
        or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises an
        involuntary proceeding against the Property Manager under any present or
        future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the
        appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar
        official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling
        of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding_up
        or liquidation of its affairs, which action shall not have been
        dismissed for a period of 60 days; or

                  (v) the Property Manager shall consent to the appointment of a
        conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any
        bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
        liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or
        relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

                  (vi) the Property Manager shall admit in writing its inability
        to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
        advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
        statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
        voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations, or take any action in
        furtherance of the foregoing; or

                  (vii) the Property Manager shall assign any of its obligations
        hereunder to any other Person (other than any such assignment permitted
        by the terms hereof); or

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

                  (viii) the Directing Noteholder shall elect in its sole and
        absolute discretion to replace the Property Manager; or

                  (ix) the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall have received
        written notice from any Rating Agency that the continuation of the
        Property Manager in such capacity would result in a downgrade,
        qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by such Rating
        Agency to any Note.

The Property Manager will notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Directing Noteholder of the occurrence of a Replacement Event or an event which,
with the giving of notice or the expiration of any cure period, or both, would
constitute a Replacement Event promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof.

        (b) If any Replacement Event shall occur, the Directing Noteholder may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate, by notice in writing to the
Property Manager (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto), all of
the rights and obligations (accruing from and after such notice) of the Property
Manager under this Agreement. From and after the receipt by the Property Manager
of such written notice and if a successor property manager is not immediately
named, all authority and power of the Property Manager under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Issuer or the Properties or the Leases or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section, and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the
Property Manager, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Properties, the
Leases and related documents, or otherwise, and to appoint a successor property
manager approved by the Directing Noteholder in its sole discretion. The
Property Manager agrees that, if it is terminated pursuant to this Section, it
shall promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days subsequent to
its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Indenture Trustee or the
successor property manager with all documents and records requested thereby to
enable the Indenture Trustee or the successor property manager to assume the
Property Manager's functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Indenture
Trustee or the successor property manager in effecting the termination of the
Property Manager's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including the transfer
within two Business Days to the Indenture Trustee for administration by it of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the
Property Manager to the Collection Account or thereafter be received by or on
behalf of it with respect to any Lease or Property (provided, however, that the
Property Manager shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section, continue to be
obligated for or entitled to pay or receive all amounts accrued or owing by or
to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination). Any
costs or expenses in connection with any actions to be taken by the Property
Manager pursuant to this paragraph shall be borne by the Property Manager.

        3.7. INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

        On and after the time the Property Manager receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 3.6, the Indenture Trustee if a successor
property manager is not named shall be the

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

successor in all respects to the Property Manager in its capacity as such under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
and arising thereafter placed on the Property Manager by the terms and
provisions hereof; provided that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Property Manager's failure to cooperate or to
provide information or monies required by Section 3.6 shall not be considered a
default by the Indenture Trustee hereunder. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor
any other successor shall be liable for any of the representations and
warranties of the terminated party or for any losses incurred by the terminated
party. As compensation therefore, the Indenture Trustee or other successor
property manager shall be entitled to all fees and other compensation which the
terminated party would have been entitled to for future services rendered if the
terminated party had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the
Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is
unable to so act or if Directing Noteholder so requests in writing to the
Indenture Trustee, promptly appoint a successor to the Property Manager in
accordance with the instructions of the Directing Noteholder (or, if the
Directing Noteholder fails to give such instructions, promptly appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established
commercial lease servicing institution acceptable to the Directing Noteholder)
as the successor to the Property Manager hereunder in the assumption of all or
any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Property Manager
hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Property Manager hereunder shall
be effective until the assumption of the successor to such party of all its
responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder, and pending such appointment
and assumption, the Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein
provided. In connection with any such appointment and assumption, the Indenture
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation, which shall accrue from
the date of such appointment and assumption, of such successor out of payments
on the Leases or otherwise as it, the Directing Noteholder and such successor
shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of
that provided herein, unless the Directing Noteholder agrees otherwise. The
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, such successor and each other party hereto shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession.

        3.8. ASSIGNMENT; BENEFICIARIES. Neither the Issuer nor the Property
Manager shall assign its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (except,
in the case of the Issuer, to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the
Indenture) without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the
Directing Noteholder. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto, and all such provisions shall inure to the benefit of the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Directing Noteholder and the Noteholders. No other
person, including any Tenant, shall be entitled to any benefit or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

        3.9. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted by this Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be sent by facsimile confirmed by the sender when
followed by U.S. mail, mailed no later than the following day or by registered
