units with other Offered Securities, in separate series in amounts, at prices
and on terms to be determined at the time of sale and to be set forth in a

with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The
Subordinated Securities will be subordinated to all existing and future Senior
Debt of the Company, as defined. See "Description of Debt Securities."

dividend, liquidation, redemption, conversion, voting and other rights and the
initial public offering price; (iii) in the case of Common Stock, the initial
public offering price; and (iv) in the case of all Offered Securities, whether
such Offered Securities will be offered separately or as a unit with other
Offered Securities. In addition, such specific terms may include limitations on
direct or beneficial ownership and restrictions on transfer of the Offered
Securities, in each case as may be appropriate to preserve the status of the
Company as a qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

     The applicable Prospectus Supplement will also contain information, where
applicable, concerning certain United States federal income tax considerations
relating to, and any listing on a securities exchange of, the Offered Securities
covered thereby.

                                  THE COMPANY

     United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. is a self-administered equity REIT
formed in 1972 which acquires, repositions, develops, manages and selectively
sells apartment homes for its own portfolio in the Sunbelt region of the United
States.

     The Company is an owner and operator of primarily middle income apartment
communities across the Sunbelt region, which it believes will enjoy population
and job growth above the national average. The Company operates in 22 major
markets, dispersed throughout a 15-state area extending from Delaware to Nevada,
where it seeks to be a market leader by operating a sufficiently sized portfolio
of apartments within each market. The Company believes this market
diversification increases investment opportunities and decreases the risks
associated with concentration in cyclical local markets. At May 9, 1997, the
Company's largest apartment market was Dallas, Texas, where it owned 13% of its
apartment homes. Excluding Dallas, Texas, the Company did not own more than 6%
of its apartment homes in any one market. At May 9, 1997, the Company owned 217
apartment communities containing 59,021 completed apartment homes (including 11
apartment communities containing 2,556 apartment homes classified as real estate
held for disposition) and 1,196 apartment homes under development.

     The Company has experienced significant growth during the past several
years, increasing the number of apartment homes owned by 327% since 1992. During
1996, the Company completed a record number of apartment acquisitions, adding a
total of 22,032 apartment homes at a total cost of approximately $881 million.
The 1996 acquisitions included the statutory merger with South West Property
Trust Inc. (the "South West Merger"), which added 44 apartment communities
containing 14,320 completed apartment homes and 675 under development, at an
aggregate cost of approximately $560 million. Another acquisition added a
portfolio of 18 apartment communities containing 4,508 apartment homes, at an
aggregate cost of approximately $182 million.

     The Company's current objective is to be a major apartment owner in the
larger Sunbelt markets by focusing on the following strategies:

             ACQUISITIONS. The Company's investment strategy hinges on acquiring
        apartment communities where it can add value. The Company focuses on
        acquiring two types of apartment communities: (i) Class B+ to near Class
        A properties built since 1980 where the investment (purchase price plus
        planned improvements) represents a significant discount to replacement
        cost; and (ii) well located, pre-1980s communities that can be upgraded
        and repositioned for the longer term.

             PORTFOLIO ACQUISITIONS AND MERGERS. The Company has been a major
        participant in consolidation within the apartment industry, having
        acquired apartment portfolios in each of the last three years and
        completed the South West Merger on December 31, 1996. The Company
        expects to continue to participate in the consolidation process as an
        acquirer of other apartment portfolios and/or apartment REITs when such
        transactions are accretive to earnings and can enhance dividend growth
        and shareholder value.

             DEVELOPMENT. Consistent with the Company's acquisition strategy,
        apartment home development activity will be primarily focused in its
        major markets through investments in site locations favorable for new
        development and additions to existing apartment communities. The
        capability to develop is another resource for growth in the Company's
        major markets.

             EXISTING COMMUNITIES. The Company seeks to achieve income growth
        from its portfolio of mature apartment communities by increasing rental
        revenues while maintaining occupancy and controlling operating expenses.
        The Company also has a program to upgrade its older apartment
        communities. These upgrades are designed to enhance rent growth and add
        value to the apartment communities.

             SALES. The Company continually assesses its real estate portfolio
        in order to make hold, upgrade or sell decisions on each of its
        apartment communities. The Company's strategy is to selectively sell
        certain apartment communities that no longer meet the long term
        investment objectives that have been established for its apartment
        portfolio due to size, location, age or projected earnings potential.

             FINANCINGS. The Company intends to maintain what management
        believes is a conservative capital structure. Prior to 1996, the Company
        generally managed its debt at levels at or below 40% of total market
        capitalization (debt and equity). However, in 1996, management decided
        to increase the proportion of debt in its capital structure to
        approximately 45% in order to take advantage of long term borrowing
        rates which were at historical lows.
 
                                       3
 
<PAGE>
     In 1995, the Company organized United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership") to assist the Company in competing for acquisitions of properties
that meet the Company's investment strategies from seller partnerships, some or
all of whose partners may wish to defer taxation of gain realized on sale
through an exchange of partnership interests. As of May 15. 1997, the Company
had acquired three apartment communities and land to develop an additional
apartment community using the Operating Partnership and had transferred seven of
its Tennessee properties into the Operating Partnership, and the Operating
Partnership was 98% owned by the Company.
 
     The Company has an Eastern Division and a Western Division to divide
apartment operations, acquisitions and development geographically. Because the
company operated only in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic prior to the South West
Merger, its Eastern Division today represents approximately 75% of its revenues
and apartment homes. The Eastern Division is divided into three regions,
Northern, Southern and Florida, respectively headquartered in Richmond, Atlanta
and Orlando. Management believes that a region can operate approximately 30,000
apartment homes. The largest region today, the Northern Region, operates
approximately 18,000 apartment homes. The management team in each region
includes a director of apartment operations, a manager of property improvements,
an asset manager and a senior acquisitions analyst. Regional teams were first
organized in 1995 to move decision making closer to the community and customer
level. The Company believes that the regional concept can allow the Company to
effectively operate 200,000 apartment homes or more. As the Western Division
grows, it will also be divided into regions.
 
     The Company seeks to provide its shareholders with regularly increasing
distributions and stock price appreciation. The Company has paid quarterly
distributions to its shareholders continuously since 1973 and has increased
common stock distributions each year for the past 21 years. The declared common
stock distribution was last increased in March 1997, and the current indicated
annual distribution is $1.01 per share. In past years, a portion of the
Company's distribution to its shareholders has been designated a non-taxable
return of capital for income tax purposes. During the past 15 years, the Company
provided its shareholders with an average annual return of 20%.
 
     The Company, a Virginia corporation, has its principal office at 10 South
6th Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219-3802. Its telephone number is (804)
780-2691 and its E-mail address is [email protected]. Unless the context indicates
otherwise, the term "Company," as used herein, includes the Company and its
subsidiaries.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the net
proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities will be used for general
corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness, making
improvements to properties and the acquisition and development of additional
properties.

    if the transactions had occurred on January 1, 1996.

     The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was computed by dividing earnings by
fixed charges. The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and Preferred
Stock dividends was computed by dividing earnings by the total of fixed charges
and Preferred Stock dividends. For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings
consist of income before extraordinary items plus fixed charges other than
capitalized interest, and fixed charges consist of interest on borrowed funds
(including capitalized interest) and amortization of debt discount and expense.

                         DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
 
GENERAL
 
     The Senior Securities are to be issued under an indenture dated as of
November 1, 1995, as supplemented from time to time (the "Senior Indenture"),
between the Company and First Union National Bank of Virginia (the "Senior
Indenture Trustee"), and the Subordinated Securities are to be issued under an
indenture dated as of August 1, 1994, as supplemented from time to time (the
"Subordinated Indenture"), between the Company and Crestar Bank (the
"Subordinated Indenture Trustee"). The term "Trustee," as used herein, shall
refer to the Senior Indenture Trustee or the Subordinated Indenture Trustee, as
appropriate. The forms of the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture
(being sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Indentures" and
individually as an "Indenture") are filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement and will be respectively available for inspection at the Corporate
Trust Office (as such term is defined in the Indentures) of the Senior Indenture
Trustee and the Subordinated Indenture Trustee, or as described under "Available
Information." The Indentures are subject to, and governed by, the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"). The statements made hereunder
relating to the Indentures and the Debt Securities are summaries of certain
provisions thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the Indentures
and the Debt Securities. All section references appearing herein are to sections
of the Indentures, and capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
respective meanings set forth in the Indentures and the Debt Securities.
 
TERMS
 
     The Debt Securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Company.
The indebtedness represented by the Senior Securities will rank equally with all
other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The indebtedness
represented by the Subordinated Securities will be subordinated in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of the Senior Debt of the Company, as
described under "Subordination."
 
     Each Indenture provides that the Debt Securities may be issued without
limit as to aggregate principal amount, in one or more series, in each case as
established from time to time in or pursuant to authority granted by a
resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or as established in one or
more indentures supplemental to such Indenture. Debt Securities may be issued
with terms different from those of Debt Securities previously issued. All Debt
Securities of one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless
otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders
of the Debt Securities of such series, for issuances of additional Debt
Securities of such series (Section 301 of each Indenture).
 
     Each Indenture provides that there may be more than one Trustee thereunder,
each with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities. Any Trustee under
either Indenture may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of
Debt Securities, and a successor Trustee may be appointed to act with respect to
such series (Section 608 of each Indenture). In the event that two or more
persons are acting as Trustee with respect to different series of Debt
Securities, each such Trustee shall be a Trustee of a trust under the applicable
Indenture separate and apart from the trust administered by any other Trustee
(Sections 101 and 609 of each Indenture), and, except as otherwise indicated
herein, any action described herein to be taken by the Company may be taken by
each such Trustee with respect to, and only with respect to, the one or more
series of Debt Securities for which it is Trustee under the applicable
Indenture.
 
     Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement relating to the series of
Debt Securities being offered for the specific terms thereof, including:
 
          (1) the title of such Debt Securities and whether such Debt Securities

     principal amount of such Debt Securities that is convertible into Capital
     Stock of the Company, or the method by which any such portion will be
     determined;

     currencies, currency units, composite currencies, commodities, equity
     indices or other indices), and the manner in which such amounts will be
     determined;
 
          (13) whether the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if

     applicable Indenture;
 
          (16) whether such Debt Securities will be issued in certificated or

     The Debt Securities may provide for less than the entire principal amount

("Original Issue Discount Securities") (Section 502 of each Indenture). Special
United States federal income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable
to Original Issue Discount Securities will be described in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement.
 
DENOMINATIONS, INTEREST, REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER
 
     Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the
Debt Securities of any series issued in registered form will be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. Unless otherwise
specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities of any
series issued in bearer form will be issuable in denominations of $5,000
(Section 302 of each Indenture).
 
     Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the
principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on any
series of Senior Securities will be payable at the corporate trust office of the
Senior Indenture Trustee located at 230 South Tryon Street, Charlotte, North
Carolina 28288 and the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)
and interest on any series of Subordinated Securities will be payable at the
corporate trust office of the Subordinated Indenture Trustee located at 919 East
Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219; provided that at the option of the
Company payment of interest on any series of Debt Securities may be made by
check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the
Security Register for such series or by wire transfer of funds to such Person at
an account maintained within the United States (Sections 301, 305, 306, 307 and
1002 of each Indenture).
 
     Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest
Payment Date with respect to a Debt Security ("Defaulted Interest") will
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the applicable Regular Record
Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name such Debt Security is
registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special
Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Company, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of such Debt Security not
less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time
in any other lawful manner, all as more completely described in the applicable
Indenture (Section 307 of each Indenture).
 
     Subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt Securities issued in
book-entry form, the Debt Securities of any series will be exchangeable for
other Debt Securities of the same series and of a like aggregate principal
amount and tenor of different authorized denominations upon surrender of such
Debt Securities at the corporate trust office of the applicable Trustee referred
to above. In addition, subject to certain limitations imposed upon Debt
Securities issued in book-entry form, the Debt Securities of any series may be
surrendered for conversion or registration of transfer thereof at the corporate
trust office of the applicable Trustee referred to above. Every Debt Security
surrendered for conversion, registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer. No service charge
will be made for any registration or transfer or exchange of any Debt
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith (Section 305 of
each Indenture). If the applicable Prospectus Supplement refers to any transfer
agent (in addition to the applicable Trustee) initially designated by the
Company with respect to any series of Debt Securities, the Company may at any
time rescind the designation of any such transfer agent or approve a change in
the location through which such transfer agent acts, except that the Company
will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each Place of Payment for such
series. The Company may at any time designate additional transfer agents with
respect to any series of Debt Securities (Section 1002 of each Indenture).
 
     Neither the Company nor either Trustee shall be required to (i) issue,
register the transfer of or exchange Debt Securities of any series during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Debt
Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on
the day of mailing of the relevant notice of redemption; (ii) register the
transfer of or exchange any Debt Security, or portion thereof, called for
redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in
part; or (iii) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security
 
                                       7
 
<PAGE>
which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the
portion, if any, of such Debt Security not to be so repaid (Section 305 of each
Indenture).
 
MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE
 
     The Company may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or
substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, any other entity,
provided that (a) either the Company shall be the continuing entity, or the
successor entity (if other than the Company) formed by or resulting from any
such consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of such
assets is a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States or
any State thereof and shall expressly assume payment of the principal of (and
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on all of the Debt Securities
and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and
conditions contained in each Indenture; (b) immediately after giving effect to
such transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of
the Company or any Subsidiary as a result thereof as having been incurred by the
Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default
under an Indenture, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or
both, would become such an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be
continuing; and (c) an Officers' Certificate and legal opinion covering such
conditions shall be delivered to the Company (Sections 801 and 803 of each
Indenture).
 
CERTAIN COVENANTS
 
     SENIOR INDENTURE LIMITATIONS ON INCURRENCE OF DEBT. The Senior Indenture
provides that the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur
any Debt (as defined below) if, immediately after giving effect to the
incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles is greater than 60% of the sum of (without
duplication) (i) the Company's Total Assets as of the end of the calendar
quarter covered in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or,
if such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act, with the Company) prior
to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) the purchase price of any
real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any
securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used
to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt),
by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter,
including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such
additional Debt (Section 1004 of the Senior Indenture). The Subordinated
Indenture does not limit the incurrence of Debt.
 
     In addition to the foregoing limitation on the incurrence of Debt, the
Senior Indenture provides that the Company will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, incur any Debt secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge,
encumbrance or security interest of any kind upon any of the property of the
Company or any Subsidiary if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence
of such Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on
a consolidated basis which is secured by any mortgage, lien, charge, pledge,
encumbrance or security interest on property of the Company or any Subsidiary is
greater than 40% of the Company's Total Assets (Section 1004 of the Senior
Indenture).
 
     In addition to the foregoing limitations on the incurrence of Debt, the
Senior Indenture provides that the Company will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for
Debt Service (as defined below) to the Annual Service Charge (as defined below)
for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date
on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5,
on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto and to the application of the
proceeds therefrom, and calculated on the assumption that (i) such Debt and any
other Debt incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries since the first day of
such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom,
including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of such period;
(ii) the repayment or retirement of any other Debt by the Company and its
Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been incurred,
repaid or retired at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such
computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be
computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period);
(iii) in the case of Acquired Debt (as defined below) or Debt incurred in
connection with any acquisition since the first day of such four-quarter period,
the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the
appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such
pro forma calculation; and (iv) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by
the Company or its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets since the first
day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or
asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment
of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate
adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in
such pro forma calculation (Section 1004 of the Senior Indenture).

     "TOTAL ASSETS" as of any date means the sum of (i) the Company's
Undepreciated Real Estate Assets and (ii) all other assets of the Company
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (but
excluding intangibles).
 
     "UNDEPRECIATED REAL ESTATE ASSETS" as of any date means the cost (original
cost plus capital improvements) of real estate assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries on such date, before depreciation and amortization determined on a
consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     Except as described above, the Indentures do not contain any provisions
that would limit the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness or that would
afford Holders of the Debt Securities protection in the event of a highly
leveraged or similar transaction involving the Company or in the event of a
change of control. However, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company include
provisions for mandatory redemption and stopping transfer of its Common Stock
designed to preserve the Company's status as a REIT. The Code provides that
concentration of more than 50% in value of direct or indirect ownership of
Common Stock in five or fewer individual shareholders during the last six months
of any year will result in disqualification of the Company as a REIT.
Enforcement of the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation would
prevent such concentration and, therefore, prevent or hinder a change of
control. Reference is made to the applicable Prospectus Supplement for
information with respect to any deletions from, modifications of or additions to
the Events of Default or covenants of the Company that are described herein,
including any addition of a covenant or other provision providing event risk or
similar protection.
 
     EXISTENCE. Except as described above under " -- Merger, Consolidation or
Sale," the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve
and keep in full force and effect the existence, rights (charter and statutory)
and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if it
determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct
of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss
thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the
Debt Securities of any series (Section 1005 of each Indenture).
 
     MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES. The Company will cause all of its properties
used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary
to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and
supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in
the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in
connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times;
provided, however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be prevented
from selling or otherwise disposing of for value their properties in the
ordinary course of business (Section 1006 of each Indenture).
 
     INSURANCE. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
keep all of its insurable properties insured against loss or damage in an amount
at least equal to their then full insurable value with financially sound and
reputable insurance companies (Section 1007 of each Indenture).
 
     PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS. The Company will pay or discharge or
cause to be paid or discharged, before the same become delinquent, (i) all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any
Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any
Subsidiary, and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which,
if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company or any
Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or
claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings (Section 1008 of each Indenture).
 
     PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Whether or not the Company is subject
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will, to the extent
permitted under the Exchange Act, file with the Commission the annual reports,
quarterly reports and other documents which the Company would have been required
to file with the Commission pursuant to such Section 13 and 15(d) if the Company
were so subject, such documents to be filed with the Commission on or prior to
the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Company would
have been required so to file such documents if the Company were so subject. The
Company will also in any event (x) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date
(i) transmit by mail to all Holders of Debt Securities, as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders, copies
of the annual reports and quarterly reports which the Company would have been
required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act if the Company were subject to such Sections and (ii) file with the
Company copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents
which the Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were subject to such
Sections and (y) if filing such documents by the Company with the Commission is
not permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written request and payment
of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such
documents to any prospective Holder (Section 1009 of each Indenture).
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT, NOTICE AND WAIVER
 
     Each Indenture provides that the following events are "Events of Default"
with respect to any series of Debt Securities issued thereunder: (a) default for
30 days in the payment of any installment of interest or Additional Amounts
payable on any
 
                                       10
 
<PAGE>
Debt Security of such series; (b) default in the payment of the principal of (or
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) any Debt Security of such series at
its Maturity; (c) default in making any sinking fund payment as required for any
Debt Security of such series; (d) default in the performance of any other
covenant of the Company contained in the Indenture (other than a covenant added
to the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Debt Securities issued
thereunder other than such series), continued for 60 days after written notice
as provided in the Indenture; (e) default under any bond, debenture, note,
mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which
there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the
Company (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company has guaranteed
or for which the Company is directly responsible or liable as obligor or
guarantor) having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least
$10,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created,
which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness being declared due and
payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and
payable, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within 10
days after written notice as provided in the Indenture; (f) the entry by a court
of competent jurisdiction of one or more judgments, orders or decrees against
the Company or any Subsidiary in an aggregate amount (excluding amounts fully
covered by insurance) in excess of $10,000,000 and such judgments, orders or
decrees remain undischarged, unstayed and unsatisfied in an aggregate amount
(excluding amounts fully covered by insurance) in excess of $10,000,000 for a
period of 30 consecutive days; (g) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization, or court appointment of a receiver, liquidator or trustee of the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of either
of its property; and (h) any other Event of Default provided with respect to
such series of Debt Securities (Section 501 of each Indenture). The term
"Significant Subsidiary" means each significant subsidiary (as defined in
Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act) of the Company.
 
     If an Event of Default under either Indenture with respect to Debt
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then
in every such case the Company or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series may declare the
principal amount (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue
Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal amount
as may be specified in the terms thereof) of, and premium or Make-Whole Amount,
if any, on, all of the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable
immediately by written notice thereof to the Company (and to the Company if
given by the Holders). However, at any time after such declaration of
acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt
Securities then Outstanding under the applicable Indenture, as the case may be)
has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has
been obtained by the Company, the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series (or of all
Debt Securities then Outstanding under the applicable Indenture, as the case may
be) may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if (a) the
Company shall have deposited with the Company all required payments of the
principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, and any
Additional Amounts, on the Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt
Securities then Outstanding under the applicable Indenture, as the case may be),
plus certain fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Company and (b)
all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal (or
specified portion thereof and the premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or
interest, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series (or of all Debt
Securities then Outstanding under the applicable Indenture, as the case may be)
have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture (Section 502 of each
Indenture). Each Indenture also provides that the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series
(or of all Debt Securities then Outstanding under the applicable Indenture, as
the case may be) may waive any past default with respect to such series and its
consequences, except a default (x) in the payment of the principal of (or
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts payable
on any Debt Security of such series or (y) in respect of a covenant or provision
contained in the applicable Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without
the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby
(Section 513 of each Indenture).
 
     Each Trustee is required to give notice to the Holders of Debt Securities
within 90 days of a default under the applicable Indenture; provided, however,
that such Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of any series of Debt
Securities of any default with respect to such series (except a default in the
payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or
interest or Additional Amounts payable on any Debt Security of such series or in
the payment of any sinking fund installment in respect of any Debt Security of
such series) if the Responsible Officers of such Trustee consider such
withholding to be in the interest of such Holders (Section 601 of each
Indenture).
 
     Each Indenture provides that no Holders of Debt Securities of any series
may institute any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, with respect to such
Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, except in the case of failure of the
Company, for 60 days, to act after it has received a written request to
institute proceedings in respect of an Event of Default from the Holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such
series, as well as an offer of reasonable
 
                                       11
 
<PAGE>
indemnity (Section 507 of each Indenture). This provision will not prevent,
however, any Holder of Debt Securities from instituting suit for the enforcement
of payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any),
interest on and Additional Amounts payable with respect to, such Debt Securities
at the respective due dates thereof (Section 508 of each Indenture).
 
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURES
 
     Modifications and amendments of either Indenture may be made with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all
Outstanding Debt Securities issued under such Indenture that are affected by
such modification or amendment; provided, however, that no such modification or
amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each such Debt Security
affected thereby, (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any), or any installment of principal of or interest or
Additional Amounts payable on, any such Debt Security; (b) reduce the principal
amount of, or the rate or amount of interest on, or any premium or Make-Whole
Amount payable on redemption of, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect
to, any such Debt Security, or reduce the amount of principal of an Original
Issue Discount Security or Make-Whole Amount, if any, that would be due and
payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof or would be
provable in bankruptcy, or adversely affect any right of repayment of the Holder
of any such Debt Security; (c) change the Place of Payment, or the coin or
currency, for payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any), or interest on, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect to, any
such Debt Security; (d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement
of any payment on or with respect to any such Debt Security; (e) reduce the
percentage of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series necessary to modify or
amend the applicable Indenture, to waive compliance with certain provisions
thereof or certain defaults and consequences thereunder or to reduce the quorum
or voting requirements set forth in the Indenture; or (f) modify any of the
foregoing provisions or any of the provisions relating to the waiver of certain
past defaults or certain covenants, except to increase the required percentage
to effect such action or to provide that certain other provisions may not be
modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of such Debt Security
(Section 902 of each Indenture).
 
     The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of Outstanding
Debt Securities issued under either Indenture have the right to waive compliance
by the Company with certain covenants in such Indenture (Section 1012 of each
Indenture).
 
SUBORDINATION
 
     Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation,
dissolution or reorganization, the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Subordinated Securities will be subordinated to the extent provided in the
Subordinated Indenture in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Debt (Sections 1601 and 1602 of the Subordinated Indenture), but the
obligation of the Company to make payment of the principal and interest on the
Subordinated Securities will not otherwise be affected (Section 1608 of the
Subordinated Indenture). No payment of principal or interest may be made on the
Subordinated Securities at any time if a default on Senior Debt exists that
permits the holders of such Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the
default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Company receives notice of
the default (Section 1603 of the Subordinated Indenture). After all Senior Debt
is paid in full and until the Subordinated Securities are paid in full, holders
will be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to the extent that
distributions otherwise payable to holders have been applied to the payment of
Senior Debt (Section 1607 of the Subordinated Indenture). By reason of such
subordination, in the event of a distribution of assets upon insolvency, certain
general creditors of the Company may recover more, ratably, than holders of the
Subordinated Securities.
 
     Senior Debt is defined in the Subordinated Indenture as the principal of
and interest on, or substantially similar payments to be made by the Company in
respect of, the following, whether outstanding at the date of execution of the
Subordinated Indenture or thereafter incurred, created or assumed: (a)
indebtedness of the Company for money borrowed or represented by purchase-money
obligations, (b) indebtedness of the Company evidenced by notes, debentures, or
bonds, or other securities issued under the provisions of an indenture, fiscal
agency agreement or other instrument, (c) obligations of the Company as lessee
under leases of property either made as part of any sale and leaseback
transaction to which the Company is a party or otherwise, (d) indebtedness of
partnerships and joint ventures that is included in the consolidated financial
statements of the Company, (e) indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of
others in respect of which the Company is liable contingently or otherwise to
pay or advance money or property or as guarantor, endorser or otherwise or which
the Company has agreed to purchase or otherwise acquire, and (f) any binding
commitment of the Company to fund any real estate investment or to fund any
investment in any entity making such real estate investment, in each case other
than (1) any such indebtedness, obligation or liability referred to in clauses
(a) through (f) above as to which, in the instrument creating or
 
                                       12
 
<PAGE>
evidencing the same pursuant to which the same is outstanding, it is provided
that such indebtedness, obligation or liability is not superior in right of
payment to the Subordinated Securities or ranks pari passu with the Subordinated
Securities, (2) any such indebtedness, obligation or liability which is
subordinated to indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as
or to a greater extent than the Subordinated Securities are subordinated and (3)
the Subordinated Securities (Section 101 of the Subordinated Indenture). At
March 31, 1997, Senior Debt aggregated approximately $1.1 billion. There are no
restrictions in the Subordinated Indenture upon the creation of additional
Senior Debt. However, the Senior Indenture contains limitations on incurrence of
indebtedness by the Company. See " -- Certain Covenants -- Senior Indenture
Limitations on Incurrence of Debt."
 
DISCHARGE, DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
 
     Under each Indenture, the Company may discharge certain obligations to
Holders of any series of Debt Securities issued thereunder that have not already
been delivered to the applicable Trustee for cancellation and that either have
become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year (or
scheduled for redemption within one year) by irrevocably depositing with the
applicable Trustee, in trust, funds in such currency or currencies, currency
unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which such Debt Securities
are payable in an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness on such Debt
Securities in respect of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)
and interest and any Additional Amounts payable to the date of such deposit (if
such Debt Securities have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or
Redemption Date, as the case may be (Section 401 of each Indenture).
 
     Each Indenture provides that, if the provisions of Article Fourteen thereof
are made applicable to the Debt Securities of or within any series pursuant to
Section 301 of such Indenture, the Company may elect either (a) to defease and
be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to such Debt Securities
(except for the obligation to pay Additional Amounts, if any, upon the
occurrence of certain events of tax, assessment or governmental charge with
respect to payments on such Debt Securities and the obligations to register the
transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities, to replace temporary or mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, to maintain an office or agency in
respect of such Debt Securities and to hold moneys for payment in trust)
("defeasance") (Section 1402 of each Indenture) or (b) to be released from its
obligations with respect to such Debt Securities under provisions of each
Indenture described under " -- Certain Covenants," or, if provided pursuant to
Section 301 of each Indenture, its obligations with respect to any other
covenant, and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute
a default or an Event or Default with respect to such Debt Securities ("covenant
defeasance") (Section 1403 of each Indenture), in either case upon the
irrevocable deposit by the Company with the applicable Trustee, in trust, of an
amount, in such currency or currencies, currency unit or currency units or
composite currency or currencies in which such Debt Securities are payable at
Stated Maturity, or Government Obligations (as defined below), or both,
applicable to such Debt Securities which through the scheduled payment of
principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an
amount sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) and interest on such Debt Securities, and any mandatory sinking fund or
analogous payments thereon, on the scheduled due dates therefor.
 
     Such a trust may only be established if, among other things, the Company
has delivered to the applicable Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (as specified in
each Indenture) to the effect that the Holders of such Debt Securities will not
recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as
a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to United
States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance
had not occurred, and such Opinion of Counsel, in the case of defeasance, must
refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change
in applicable United States federal income tax laws occurring after the date of
such Indenture (Section 1404 of each Indenture).
 
     "GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS" means securities which are (i) direct obligations
of the United States of America or the government which issued the Foreign
Currency in which the Debt Securities of a particular series are payable, for
the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of
a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality
of the United States of America or the government which issued the Foreign
Currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable, the payment of
which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the
United States of America or such other government, which, in either case, are
not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also
include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with
respect to any such Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on
or principal of any such Government Obligation held by such custodian for the
account of the holder of a depository receipt, provided that (except as required
by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount
payable to the holder of such depository receipt
 
                                       13
 
<PAGE>
from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the Government
Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the Government
Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt (Section 101 of each Indenture).
 
     Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, if after
the Company has deposited funds and/or Government Obligations to effect
defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to Debt Securities of any series,
(a) the Holder of a Debt Security of such series is entitled to, and does, elect
pursuant to Section 301 of either Indenture or the terms of such Debt Security
to receive payment in a currency, currency unit or composite currency other than
that in which such deposit has been made in respect of such Debt Security, or
(b) a Conversion Event (as defined below) occurs in respect of the currency,
currency unit or composite currency in which such deposit has been made, the
indebtedness represented by such Debt Security shall be deemed to have been, and
will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of
(and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on such Debt Security as
they become due out of the proceeds yielded by converting the amount so
deposited in respect of such Debt Security into the currency, currency unit or
composite currency in which such Debt Security becomes payable as a result of
such election or such cessation of usage based on the applicable market exchange
rate (Section 1405 of each Indenture). "Conversion Event" means the cessation of
use of (i) a currency, currency unit or composite currency (other than the ECU
or other currency unit) both by the government of the country that issued such
currency and for the settlement of transactions by a central bank or other
public institutions of or within the international banking community, (ii) the
ECU both within the European Monetary System and for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the European Communities or
(iii) any currency unit or composite currency other than the ECU for the
purposes for which it was established. Unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement, all payments of principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on any Debt Security that is payable in
a Foreign Currency that ceases to be used by its government of issuance shall be
made in United States dollars (Section 101 of each Indenture).
 
     In the event the Company effects covenant defeasance with respect to any
Debt Securities and such Debt Securities are declared due and payable because of
the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Event of Default described
in clause (d) under " -- Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" with respect to
Sections 1004 to 1009, inclusive, of either Indenture (which Sections would no
longer be applicable to such Debt Securities) or described in clause (g) under
"Events of Default, Notice and Waiver" with respect to a covenant as to which
there has been covenant defeasance, the amount in such currency, currency unit
or composite currency in which such Debt Securities are payable, and Government
Obligations on deposit with the Company, will be sufficient to pay amounts due
on such Debt Securities at the time of their Stated Maturity but may not be
sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities at the time of the
acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. However, the Company would
remain liable to make payment of such amounts due at the time of acceleration.
 
     The applicable Prospectus Supplement may further describe the provisions,
if any, permitting such defeasance or covenant defeasance, including any
modifications to the provisions described above, with respect to the Debt
Securities of or within a particular series.
 
CONVERSION RIGHTS
 
     The terms and conditions, if any, upon which the Debt Securities are
convertible into Capital Stock of the Company will be set forth in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. Such terms will include
whether such Debt Securities are convertible into Capital Stock of the Company,
the conversion price (or manner of calculation thereof), the conversion period,
provisions as to whether conversion will be at the option of the Holders or the
Company, the events requiring an adjustment of the conversion price and
provisions affecting conversion in the event of the redemption of such Debt
Securities.
 
BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM
 
     The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more global securities ("Global Securities") that will be
deposited with, or on behalf of a depository (the "Depository") identified in
the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. Global Securities, if any,
are expected be deposited with The Depository Trust Company, as Depository.
Global Securities may be issued in fully registered form and may be issued in
either temporary or permanent form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or
in part for the individual Debt Securities represented thereby, a Global
Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository for such
Global Security to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such
Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such
Depository or any nominee of such Depository to a successor Depository or any
nominee of such successor.
 
                                       14
 
<PAGE>
     The specific terms of the depository arrangement with respect to a series
of Debt Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to
such series. The Company expects that unless otherwise indicated in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement the following provisions will apply to
depository arrangements.
 
     Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depository for such Global
Security or its nominee will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer
system the respective principal amounts of the individual Debt Securities
represented by such Global Security to the accounts of persons that have
accounts with such Depository ("Participants"). Such accounts shall be
designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to such Debt
Securities or by the Company if such Debt Securities are offered directly by the
Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Security will be
limited to Participants or persons that may hold interests through Participants.
Ownership of beneficial interests in such Global Security will be shown on, and
the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained
by the Depository for such Global Security or its nominee (with respect to
beneficial interests of Participants) and records of Participants (with respect
to beneficial interests of persons who hold through Participants). The laws of
some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery
of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and laws may impair the
ability to own, pledge or transfer beneficial interest in a Global Security.
 
     So long as the Depository for a Global Security or its nominee is the
registered owner of such Global Security, such Depository or such nominee, as
the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt
Securities represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the
applicable Indenture. Except as described below or in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement, owners of beneficial interest in a Global Security will not be
entitled to have any of the individual Debt Securities represented by such
Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to
receive physical delivery of any such Debt Securities in definitive form and
will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the applicable
Indenture.
 
     Payments of principal of, any premium or Make-Whole Amount and any interest
on, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect to, individual Debt
Securities represented by a Global Security registered in the name of a
Depository or its nominee will be made to the Depository or its nominee, as the
case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Security. None of the
Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar for such Debt
Securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests in the Global Security for such Debt Securities or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.
 
     The Company expects that the Depository for any Debt Securities or its
nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, Make-Whole Amount,
interest or Additional Amounts in respect of the Global Security representing
such Debt Securities will immediately credit Participants' accounts with
payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in
the principal amount of such Global Security as shown on the records of such
Depository or its nominee. The Company also expects that payments by
Participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security held
through such Participants will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of
customers in bearer form or registered in street name. Such payments will be the
responsibility of such Participants.
 
     If a Depository for any Debt Securities is at any time unwilling, unable or
ineligible to continue as depository and a successor depository is not appointed
by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue individual Debt Securities
in exchange for the Global Security representing such Debt Securities. In
addition, the Company may at any time and in its sole discretion, subject to any
limitations described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Debt
Securities, determine not to have any of such Debt Securities represented by one
or more Global Securities and in such event will issue individual Debt
Securities in exchange for the Global Security or Securities representing such
Debt Securities. Individual Debt Securities so issued will be issued in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

shares of Preferred Stock, consisting exclusively of the Company's 9 1/4% Series
A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred").
 
     The following statements with respect to the capital stock of the Company
are subject to the detailed provisions of the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles"), and bylaws (the "Bylaws") as
currently in effect. These statements do not purport to be complete, or to give
full effect to the terms of the provisions of statutory or common law, and are
subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the terms of
the Articles and Bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as
declared by the Board of Directors after payment of, or provision for, full
cumulative dividends on and any required redemptions of shares of Preferred
Stock then outstanding. Holders of Common Stock have one vote per share and
non-cumulative voting rights, which means that holders of more than 50% of the
shares voting can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, and, in
such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any
directors. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or
dissolution of the Company, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share
ratably in the distributable assets of the Company remaining after satisfaction
of the prior preferential rights of the Preferred Stock and the satisfaction of
all debts and liabilities of the Company. Holders of Common Stock do not have
preemptive rights.
 
     The dividend and liquidation rights of holders of the Common Stock are
specifically limited by the terms of the Series A Preferred as described below
in " -- Series A Preferred."
 
     The transfer agent for the Common Stock is Chase Mellon Shareholder
Services, L.L.C., Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. The Common Stock is traded on the
NYSE under the symbol "UDR."
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The following description of the terms of the Preferred Stock sets forth
certain general terms and provisions of the Preferred Stock to which a
Prospectus Supplement may relate. Specific terms of any series of Preferred
Stock offered by a Prospectus Supplement will be described in that Prospectus
Supplement. The description set forth below is subject to and qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Articles of Amendment to the Articles fixing the
preferences, limitations and relative rights of a particular series of Preferred
Stock.
 
     GENERAL. Under the Articles, the Board of Directors of the Company is
authorized, without further shareholder action, to provide for the issuance of
up to 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, in one or more series, with such
voting powers and with such designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations
or restrictions, as the Board of Directors shall approve.
 
     The Preferred Stock will have the dividend, liquidation, redemption,
conversion and voting rights set forth below unless otherwise provided in the
Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular series of Preferred Stock.
Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement relating to the particular series
of Preferred Stock offered thereby for specific terms, including: (i) the title
and liquidation preference per share of such Preferred Stock and the number of
shares offered; (ii) the price at which such series will be issued; (iii) the
dividend rate (or method of calculation), the dates on which dividends shall be
payable and the dates from which dividends shall commence to accumulate; (iv)
any redemption or sinking fund provisions of such series; (v) any conversion
provisions of such series; and (vi) any additional dividend, liquidation,
redemption, sinking fund and other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations
and restrictions of such series.
 
     The Preferred Stock will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable.
Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular
series of Preferred Stock, each series will rank on a parity as to dividends and
distributions in the event of a liquidation with each other series of Preferred
Stock and, in all cases, will be senior to the Common Stock.
 
     DIVIDEND RIGHTS. Holders of Preferred Stock of each series will be entitled
to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of assets of
the Company legally available therefor, cash dividends at such rates and on such
dates as are set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series of
Preferred Stock. Such rate may be fixed or variable or both and may be
cumulative, noncumulative or partially cumulative.
 
     If the applicable Prospectus Supplement so provides, as long as any shares
of Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends will be declared or paid or any
distributions be made on the Common Stock, other than a dividend payable in
Common
 
                                       16
 
<PAGE>
Stock, unless the accrued dividends on each series of Preferred Stock have been
fully paid or declared and set apart for payment and the Company shall have set
apart all amounts, if any, required to be set apart for all sinking funds, if
any, for each series of Preferred Stock.
 
     If the applicable Prospectus Supplement so provides, when dividends are not
paid in full upon any series of Preferred Stock and any other series of
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends with such series of
Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon such series of Preferred Stock and
any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends will be
declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on such
series of Preferred Stock and such other series will in all cases bear to each
other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on such series of
Preferred Stock and such other series bear to each other.
 
     Each series of Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends as described
in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series, which may be based upon
one or more methods of determination. Different series of Preferred Stock may be
entitled to dividends at different dividend rates or based upon different
methods of determination. Except as provided in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement, no series of Preferred Stock will be entitled to participate in the
earnings or assets of the Company.
 
     RIGHTS UPON LIQUIDATION. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of each
series of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the
Company available for distribution to shareholders the amount stated or
determined on the basis set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such
series, which may include accrued dividends, if such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up is involuntary or may equal the current redemption price per share
(otherwise than for the sinking fund, if any, provided for such series) provided
for such series set forth in such Prospectus Supplement, if such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up is voluntary, and on such preferential basis as is set
forth in such Prospectus Supplement. If, upon any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the amounts payable with
respect to Preferred Stock of any series and any other shares of stock of the
Company ranking as to any such distribution on a parity with such series of
Preferred Stock are not paid in full, the holders of Preferred Stock of such
series and of such other shares will share ratably in any such distribution of
assets of the Company in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts
to which they are entitled or on such other basis as is set forth in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. The rights, if any, of the holders of any
series of Preferred Stock to participate in the assets of the Company remaining
after the holders of other series of Preferred Stock have been paid their
respective specified liquidation preferences upon any liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company will be described in the Prospectus Supplement
relating to such series.
 
     REDEMPTION. A series of Preferred Stock may be redeemable, in whole or in
part, at the option of the Company, and may be subject to mandatory redemption
pursuant to a sinking fund, in each case upon terms, at the times, the
redemption prices and for the types of consideration set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement relating to such series. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a
series of Preferred Stock which is subject to mandatory redemption shall specify
the number of shares of such series that shall be redeemed by the Company in
each year commencing after a date to be specified, at a redemption price per
share to be specified, together with an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon to the date of redemption.
 
     If, after giving notice of redemption to the holders of a series of
Preferred Stock, the Company deposits with a designated bank funds sufficient to
redeem such Preferred Stock, then from and after such deposit, all shares called
for redemption will no longer be outstanding for any purpose, other than the
right to receive the redemption price and the right to convert such shares into
other classes of capital stock of the Company. The redemption price will be
stated in the Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular series of Preferred
Stock.
 
     Except as indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred
Stock is not subject to any mandatory redemption at the option of the holder.
 
     SINKING FUND. The Prospectus Supplement for any series of Preferred Stock
will state the terms, if any, of a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption
of that series.
 
     CONVERSION RIGHTS. The Prospectus Supplement for any series of Preferred
Stock will state the terms, if any, on which shares of that series are
convertible into shares of Common Stock or another series of Preferred Stock.
The Preferred Stock will have no preemptive rights.
 
     VOTING RIGHTS. Except as indicated in the Prospectus Supplement relating to
a particular series of Preferred Stock, or except as expressly required by
Virginia law, a holder of Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote. Except
as indicated in the Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular series of
Preferred Stock, in the event the Company issues full shares of
 
                                       17
 
<PAGE>
any series of Preferred Stock, each such share will be entitled to one vote on
matters on which holders of such series of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote.
 
     Under Virginia law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of all series of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate
voting group, will be required for (i) the authorization of any class of stock
ranking prior to or on parity with Preferred Stock or the increase in the number
of authorized shares of any such stock, (ii) any increase in the number of
authorized shares of Preferred Stock and (iii) certain amendments to the
Articles that may be adverse to the rights of Preferred Stock outstanding.
 
     TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR. The transfer agent, registrar and dividend
disbursement agent for a series of Preferred Stock will be selected by the
Company and be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The registrar
for shares of Preferred Stock will send notices to shareholders of any meetings
at which holders of Preferred Stock have the right to vote on any matter.
 
SERIES A PREFERRED
 
     The Board of Directors has designated 4,600,000 shares of Preferred Stock
as the "9 1/4% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock." At March 31,
1997, there were 4,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred outstanding. The Board
of Directors may redesignate any unissued shares of Series A Preferred as all or
a part of a different series of Preferred Stock. Holders of shares of Series A
Preferred are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends,
cumulative preferential cash dividends at the rate of 9 1/4% of the liquidation
preference per annum (equivalent to $2.3125 per share). In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of
Series A Preferred are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company
legally available for distribution to its stockholders a liquidation preference
of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends to
the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of
Common Stock or any other capital stock that ranks junior to the Series A
Preferred as to liquidation rights. The Series A Preferred is not redeemable
prior to April 24, 2000. On and after April 24, 2000, the Company, at its option
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice, may redeem shares
of the Series A Preferred, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to
time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued
dividends. The Series A Preferred has no stated maturity and will not be subject
to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption (except as provided under
"Description of Capital Stock -- Redemption and Restrictions on Transfer").
 
     The transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent for the Series
A Preferred is Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C., Ridgefield Park, New
Jersey. The Series A Preferred is traded on the NYSE under the symbol "UDRpfA."
 
DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
 
     Covenants in its loan agreements with certain lenders restrict the payment
of distributions in excess of the sum of (i) current "cash flow," (ii) varying
additional amounts and (iii) the proceeds of capital stock offerings subsequent
to various dates, all as defined in the particular loan agreement. The covenants
do not prohibit the Company from paying distributions in order to continue its
qualification as a REIT under the Code.
 
AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Virginia Stock Corporation Act contains provisions governing
"Affiliated Transactions" designed to deter uninvited takeovers of Virginia
corporations. These provisions, with several exceptions discussed below, require
approval of material acquisition transactions between a Virginia corporation and
any holder of more than 10% of any class of its outstanding voting shares (an
"Interested Shareholder") by the holders of at least two-thirds of the remaining
voting shares. For three years following the time that the Interested
Shareholder becomes an owner of 10% of the outstanding voting shares, Virginia
corporations cannot engage in an Affiliated Transaction with such Interested
Shareholder without approval of two-thirds of the voting shares other than those
shares beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder, and majority approval
of the "Disinterested Directors." At the expiration of the three year period,
the statute requires approval of Affiliated Transactions by two-thirds of the
voting shares other than those beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder
absent an exception. The principal exceptions to the special voting requirement
apply to transactions proposed after the three year period has expired and
require either that the transaction be approved by a majority of the
corporation's Disinterested Directors or that the transaction satisfy the
fair-price requirements of the law.
 
     The Virginia Stock Corporation Act also provides that shares acquired in a
transaction that would cause the acquiring person's voting strength to cross any
of three thresholds (20%, 33% or 50%) have no voting rights unless granted by a
 
                                       18
 
<PAGE>
majority vote of shares not owned by the acquiring person or any officer or
employee-director of the Company. An acquiring person may require the Company to
hold a special meeting of shareholders to consider the matter within 50 days of
its request.
 
REDEMPTION AND RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
 
     In order to preserve the Company's status as a REIT as defined in the Code,
the Company can redeem or stop the transfer of its shares. The Articles provide
that the Company is organized to qualify as a REIT. Because the Code provides
that the concentration of more than 50% in value of the direct or indirect
ownership of its shares in five or fewer individual shareholders during the last
six months of any year would result in the disqualification of the Company as a
REIT, the Articles provide that the Company shall have the power (i) to redeem
that number of concentrated shares sufficient in the opinion of the Board of
Directors of the Company to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership
of shares into conformity with the requirements of the Code, and (ii) to stop
the transfer of shares to any person whose acquisition thereof would, in the
opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, result in such disqualification.
The per share redemption price of any shares redeemed by the Company pursuant to
this provision shall be the last reported sale price for the shares as of the
business day preceding the day on which notice of redemption is given. The Board
of Directors of the Company can require shareholders to disclose in writing to
the Company such information with respect to ownership of its shares as it deems
necessary to comply with the REIT provisions of the Code.
 
REIT QUALIFICATION
 
     The Company operates in a manner intended to qualify for treatment as a
REIT under the Code. In general, a REIT which distributes to its shareholders at
least 95% of its taxable income (other than net capital gain) for a taxable year
and which meets certain other conditions will not be subject to federal income
taxation on income (including net capital gain) distributed for that year. If
the Company fails to qualify in any taxable year, it will be taxed for federal
income tax purposes as a corporation for that year and distributions to
shareholders will not be deductible by the Company in computing its taxable
income. Under such circumstances, the Company also will be disqualified from
being treated as a REIT under the Code for the ensuing four fiscal years.
Failure to qualify could result in the Company's incurring indebtedness and
perhaps liquidating investments in order to pay the resultant taxes.
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
     The Company may sell Offered Securities to or through underwriters or may
sell Offered Securities to investors directly or through designated agents. Any
such underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of the Offered
Securities will be named in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
 
     Underwriters may offer and sell the Offered Securities at a fixed price or
prices, which may be changed, or from time to time at market prices prevailing
at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices. The Company also may, from time to time, authorize
underwriters acting as agents to offer and sell the Offered Securities upon the
terms and conditions set forth in any Prospectus Supplement. In connection with
the sale of Offered Securities, underwriters may be deemed to have received
compensation from the Company in the form of underwriting discounts or
commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of Offered
Securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell Offered
Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in
the form of discounts, concessions or commissions (which may be changed from
time to time) from the underwriters and/or from the purchasers for whom they may
act as agent.
 
     Any underwriting compensation paid by the Company to underwriters or agents
in connection with the offering of Offered Securities and any discounts,
concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will
be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Underwriters, dealers and
agents participating in the distribution of the Offered Securities may be deemed
to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any
profit realized by them on resale of the Offered Securities may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters,
dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with the
Company, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
     If so indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company will
authorize dealers acting as the Company's agents to solicit offers by certain
institutions to purchase Offered Securities from the Company at the public
offering price set forth in such Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Delayed
Delivery Contracts ("Contracts") providing for payment and delivery on the date
or dates stated in such Prospectus Supplement. Each Contract will be for an
amount not less than, and the
 
                                       19
 
<PAGE>
principal amount of Offered Securities sold pursuant to Contracts shall not be
less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in such Prospectus Supplement.
Institutions with which Contracts, when authorized, may be made include
commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment
companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but
will in all cases be subject to the approval of the Company. Contracts will not
be subject to any conditions except (i) the purchase by an institution of the
Offered Securities covered by its Contract shall not at the time of delivery be
prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which such
institution is subject and (ii) the Company shall have sold to such underwriters
the total principal amount of the Offered Securities less the principal amount
thereof covered by Contracts. A commission indicated in the Prospectus
Supplement will be paid to agents and underwriters soliciting purchases of
Offered Securities pursuant to Contracts accepted by the Company. Agents and
underwriters shall have no responsibility in respect of the delivery or
performance of Contracts.
 
     Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may be customers of,
engage in transactions with and perform services for the Company in the ordinary
course of business.
 
                                 LEGAL OPINIONS

     The validity of the Offered Securities will be passed upon for the Company
by Hunton & Williams, Richmond, Virginia. Brown & Wood LLP, New York, New York,
will act as counsel to any underwriters, dealers or agents.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

     Directors and officers of the Company may be indemnified against
liabilities, fines, penalties, and claims imposed upon or asserted against them
as provided in the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and the Company's Articles of
Incorporation. Such indemnification covers all costs and expenses reasonably
incurred by a director or officer. The Board of Directors, by a majority vote of
a quorum of disinterested directors or, under certain circumstances, independent
counsel appointed by the Board of Directors, must determine that the director or
officer seeking indemnification was not guilty of willful misconduct or a
knowing violation of the criminal law. In addition, the Virginia Stock
Corporation Act and the Company's Articles of Incorporation may under certain
circumstances eliminate the liability of directors and officers in a shareholder
or derivative proceeding.

     If the person involved is not a director or officer of the Company, the
Board of Directors may cause the Company to indemnify to the same extent allowed
for directors and officers of the Company such person who was or is a party to a
proceeding, by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the
Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made
     of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
     registration statement

             (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act of 1933;

             (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
        the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in the registration statement; provided, however, any increase or
        decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
        securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
        deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering
        range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
        Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
        volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
        aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
        Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

             (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan
        of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
        or any material change to such information in the registration
        statement; provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in
        subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information
        required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
        paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
        the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
        Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
        this registration statement;

                                      II-2

<PAGE>
          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
     to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
     to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
     any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that the in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted against the registrant by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

     (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.

     (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for
purposes of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection
(a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and
regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

                                                             __________ , 199__


[To the Representatives of the
several Underwriters named in the
respective Pricing Agreements
hereinafter described.]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     From time to time United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc., a Virginia
corporation (the "Company"), proposes to enter into one or more Pricing
Agreements (each a "Pricing Agreement") in the form of Annex I hereto, with such
additions and deletions as the parties thereto may determine, and, subject to
the terms and conditions stated herein and therein, to issue and sell to the
firms named in Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement (such firms
constituting the "Underwriters" with respect to such Pricing Agreement and the
securities specified therein) certain of its debt securities (the "Securities")
specified in Schedule II to such Pricing Agreement (with respect to such Pricing
Agreement, the "Designated Securities").

     The terms and rights of any particular issuance of Designated Securities
shall be as specified in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto and in or
pursuant to the indenture (the "Indenture") identified in such Pricing
Agreement.

     1. Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to time
to the Underwriters of such Securities, for whom the firms designated as
representatives of the Underwriters of such Securities in the Pricing Agreement
relating thereto will act as representatives (the "Representatives"). The term
"Representatives" also refers to a single firm acting as sole representative of
the Underwriters and to an Underwriter or Underwriters who act without any firm
being designated as its or their representatives. This Underwriting Agreement
shall not be construed as an obligation of the Company to sell any of the
Securities or as an obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase the
Securities. The obligation of the Company to issue and sell any of the
Securities and the obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase any of the
Securities shall be evidenced by the Pricing Agreement with respect to the
Designated Securities


<PAGE>


specified therein. Each Pricing Agreement shall specify the aggregate principal
amount of such Designated Securities, the initial public offering price of such
Designated Securities, the purchase price to the Underwriters of such Designated
Securities, the names of the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the
names of the Representatives of such Underwriters and the principal amount of
such Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter and shall set
forth the date, time and manner of delivery of such Designated Securities and
payment therefor. The Pricing Agreement shall also specify (to the extent not
set forth in the Indenture and the registration statement and prospectus with
respect thereto) the terms of such Designated Securities. A Pricing Agreement
shall be in the form of an executed writing (which may be in counterparts), and
may be evidenced by an exchange of telegraphic communications or any other rapid
transmission device designed to produce a written record of communications
transmitted. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement and each
Pricing Agreement shall be several and not joint.

     2. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the
Underwriters that:

             (a) Two registration statements on Form S-3 (File Nos. 33-64275 and
         33-____) (the "Initial Registration Statements") in respect of the
         Securities have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
         (the "Commission"); the Initial Registration Statements and any
         post-effective amendment thereto, each in the form heretofore delivered
         or to be delivered to the Representatives and, excluding exhibits to
         such registration statements, but including all documents incorporated
         by reference in the prospectus contained in the latest registration
         statement, to the Representatives for each of the other Underwriters,
         have been declared effective by the Commission in such form; other than
         a registration statement, if any, increasing the size of the offering
         (a "Rule 462(b) Registration Statement"), filed pursuant to Rule 462(b)
         under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act), which became
         effective upon filing, no other document with respect to the Initial
         Registration Statements or document incorporated by reference therein
         has heretofore been filed or transmitted for filing with the Commission
         (other than prospectuses filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and
         regulations of the Commission under the Act each in the form heretofore
         delivered to the Representatives); and no stop order suspending the
         effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statements, any
         post-effective amendment thereto or the Rule 462(b) Registration
         Statement, if any, has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose
         has been initiated or threatened by the Commission (any preliminary
         prospectus included in the Initial Registration Statements or filed
         with the Commission

         Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; any reference to any

         date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be,
         under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
         Act"), and incorporated by reference in such Preliminary Prospectus or
         Prospectus, as the case may be; any reference to any amendment to the

         annual report of the Company filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d)
         of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration
         Statement that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
         Statement; any reference to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented
         shall be deemed to refer to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented
         in relation to the applicable Designated Securities in the form in

         Act in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof, including any documents
         incorporated by reference therein as of the date of such filing; and if
         the Company elects to rely on Rule 434 under the Act, any reference to
         the Prospectus shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the form

             (b) The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, when
         they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case

         thereunder, and none of such documents contained an untrue statement of
         a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
         stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
         misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by
         reference in the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement
         thereto, when such documents become effective or are filed with the
         Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects

         the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not
         contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a

         omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
         furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter of Designated
         Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in the
         Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to such Securities;

             (c) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus conform, and any
         further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the
         Prospectus will conform, in all material respects to the requirements
         of the Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust
         Indenture Act") and the rules and regulations of the Commission
         thereunder and do not and will not, as of the applicable effective date
         as to the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and as of
         the applicable filing date as to the Prospectus and any amendment or
         supplement thereto, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
         omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided,
         however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any
         statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with
         information furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter of
         Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in
         the Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to such Securities;

             (d) The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as
         a corporation in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
         Virginia, with full power and authority to own, lease and operate its
         properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus; and
         the Company is duly qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions
         in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification except
         where the failure to so qualify would not have a material

                                       4

         adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or
         the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company;

             (e) Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly organized and is
         validly existing as a corporation, limited liability company, limited
         partnership or real estate investment trust in good standing under the
         laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with
         power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and
         conduct its business as described in the Prospectus except where the
         failure to so be in good standing would not have a material adverse
         effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings,
         business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its
         subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise; each such subsidiary is
         duly qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions in which the
         conduct of its business requires such qualification, or in which the
         failure to qualify would have a materially adverse effect upon the
         business of such subsidiary; all of the issued and outstanding capital
         stock of each such corporate subsidiary and all of the issued and
         outstanding shares of beneficial interest of each such real estate
         investment trust subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly
         issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Company
         free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien,
         encumbrance, claim or equity; and the Company and one such corporate
         subsidiary are the only members of the Company's limited liability
         company or limited partnership subsidiaries and own the entire
         membership or general partnership interest in each such subsidiary free
         and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien,
         encumbrance, claim or equity;

             (f) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sustained
         since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or
         incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any material loss or
         interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other
         calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor
         dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise
         than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus; and, since the
         respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration
         Statement and the Prospectus, there has not been any change in the
         capital stock, total assets or long-term debt of the Company or any of
         its subsidiaries or any material adverse change, or any development
         involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the
         general affairs, management, financial position, shareholders' equity
         or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise
         than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus;

             (g) The Company has an authorized capitalization as set forth in
         the Prospectus, and all of the issued shares of capital stock of the
         Company have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully
         paid and non-assessable;

             (h) The Securities have been duly and validly authorized, and, when
         Designated Securities are issued and delivered pursuant to this
         Agreement and the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated
         Securities, such Designated Securities will have been duly executed,
         authenticated, issued and delivered and will constitute valid and
         legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits
         provided by the Indenture, which will be substantially in the form
         filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; the Indenture has
         been duly authorized and duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act
         and, at the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities (as defined
         in Section 4 hereof), the Indenture will constitute a valid and legally
         binding instrument, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject,
         as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other
         laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
         rights and to general equity principles; and the Indenture conforms,
         and the Designated Securities will conform, to the descriptions thereof
         contained in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented with respect to
         such Designated Securities;

             (i) The issue and sale of the Securities and the compliance by the
         Company with all of the provisions of the Securities, the Indenture,
         this Agreement and any Pricing Agreement, and the consummation of the
         transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or
         result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of,
         or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
         loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is
         a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the
         property or assets of the Company is subject, nor will such action
         result in any violation of the provisions of the Articles of
         Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or any statute or any order,
         rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having
         jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties; and no consent,
         approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or
         with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the
         issue and sale of the Securities or the consummation by the Company of
         the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Pricing
         Agreement or the Indenture, except such as have been, or will have been
         prior to the Time of Delivery, obtained under the Act and the Trust
         Indenture Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations,
         registrations or qualifications as may be required under state

                                       6

         securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and
         distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters;

             (j) The statements set forth in the Prospectus under the captions
         "Description of Debt Securities" and "Description of Notes", insofar as
         they purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Securities,
         and under the captions "Description of Capital Stock," "Plan of
         Distribution" and "Underwriting", insofar as they purport to describe
         the provisions of the laws and documents referred to therein, are
         accurate, complete and fair;

             (k) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation
         of its Articles of Incorporation or By-laws or in default in the
         performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement,
         covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of
         trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which
         it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound;

             (l) Other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no legal
         or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any
         of its subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to
         the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would individually or in the
         aggregate have a material adverse effect on the current or future
         consolidated financial position, shareholders' equity or results of
         operations of the Company and its subsidiaries; and, to the best of the
         Company's knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated
         by governmental authorities or threatened by others;

             (m) The financial statements together with related notes and
         schedules of the Company and its subsidiaries as set forth or
         incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement present fairly
         the financial position and the results of operations of the Company and
         its subsidiaries at the indicated dates and for the indicated periods.
         Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted principles of accounting, consistently applied
         throughout the periods involved, and all adjustments necessary for a
         fair presentation of results for such periods have been made. The
         summary financial and statistical data included in the Prospectus
         present fairly the information shown therein and have been compiled on
         a basis consistent with the financial statements presented therein;

             (n) The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title
         to, or valid and enforceable leasehold estates in, all items of real
         and personal property referred

                                       7

         to in the Prospectus as owned or leased by them, in each case free and
         clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims, security interests and
         defects, other than those referred to in the Prospectus or which are
         not material in amount. Each lease of real property by the Company or
         any of its subsidiaries as lessor requiring annual lease payments in
         excess of $100,000 is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
         lessee in accordance with its terms (except that the remedy of specific
         performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be
         subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before
         which any proceeding therefor may be brought and to the Bankruptcy Act)
         and the rents which at present have remained due and unpaid for more
         than 30 days are not payable under leases such that, were no further
         rental payments to be received under such leases, the financial
         condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries
         would be materially adversely affected thereby. The Company has no
         reason to believe that the lessee under any lease (excluding leases for
         which rent payments due for the remainder of such lease are less than
         $500,000) calling for annual lease payments in excess of $500,000 is
         not financially capable of performing its obligations thereunder;

             (o) The Company has filed all Federal, local and foreign income tax
         returns which have been required to be filed and has paid all taxes
         indicated by said returns and all assessments received by it to the
         extent that such taxes have become due and are not being contested in
         good faith;

             (p) The Company and each of its subsidiaries hold all material
         licenses, certificates and permits from governmental authorities which
         are necessary to the conduct of their respective businesses; and
         neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has infringed any
         patents, patent rights, trade names, trademarks or copyrights, which
         infringement is material to the business of the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries;

             (q) With respect to all tax periods regarding which the Internal
         Revenue Service is or will be entitled to assert any claim, the Company
         has met the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment
         trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of
         1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Company's present and
         contemplated operations, assets and income continue to meet such
         requirements;

             (r) The conditions for use of registration statements on Form S-3
         set forth in the General Instructions on Form S-3 have been satisfied
         and the Company is entitled to use such form for the transaction
         contemplated herein;


                                       8

             (s) The Company has no knowledge of (a) the unlawful presence of
         any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances or
         waste materials (collectively, "Hazardous Materials") on any of the
         properties owned by it or any of its subsidiaries, or of (b) any
         unlawful spills, releases, discharges or disposal of Hazardous
         Materials that have occurred or are presently occurring off such
         properties as a result of any construction on or operation and use of
         such properties which presence or occurrence would materially adversely
         affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business
         affairs or business prospects of the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries. In connection with the construction on or operation and
         use of the properties owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
         the Company represents that it has no knowledge of any material failure
         to comply with all applicable local, state and federal environmental
         laws, regulations, ordinances and administrative and judicial orders
         relating to the generation, recycling, reuse, sale, storage, handling,
         transport and disposal of any Hazardous Materials;

             (t) The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and
         sale of the Securities, will not be an "investment company" or an
         entity "controlled" by an "investment company", as such terms are
         defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
         "Investment Company Act");

             (v) Ernst & Young LLP, who have certified certain financial
         statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, [and list of other
         accountants whose reports appear or are incorporated by reference in
         the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, who have certified
         certain financial statements of [names of all other applicable
         entities]] are [each] independent public accountants as required by the
         Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

     3. Upon the execution of the Pricing Agreement applicable to any Designated
Securities and authorization by the Representatives of the release of such
Designated Securities, the several Underwriters propose to offer such Designated
Securities for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus as
amended or supplemented.

     4. Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter pursuant to
the Pricing Agreement relating thereto, in the form specified in such Pricing
Agreement, and in such authorized denominations and registered in such names as
the Representatives may request upon at least twenty-four hours' prior notice to
the Company, shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the
Representatives for the account of such Underwriter, against

                                       9



<PAGE>



payment by such Underwriter or on its behalf of the purchase price therefor by
certified or official bank check or checks, payable to the order of the Company
in the funds specified in such Pricing Agreement, all in the manner and at the
place and time and date specified in such Pricing Agreement or at such other
place and time and date as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in
writing, such time and date being herein called the "Time of Delivery" for such
Securities.

     5. The Company agrees with each of the Underwriters of any Designated
Securities:

             (a) If the Company does not elect to rely on Rule 434 under the
         Act, immediately following execution and delivery of the applicable
         Pricing Agreement, to prepare the Prospectus as amended or supplemented
         in relation to the applicable Designated Securities in a form approved
         by the Representatives and to file such Prospectus pursuant to Rule
         424(b) under the Act not later than the Commission's close of business
         on the business day following the execution and delivery of the Pricing
         Agreement relating to the applicable Designated Securities or, if
         applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 424(b), or if
         the Company elects to rely on Rule 434 under the Act, immediately
         following execution and delivery of the applicable Pricing Agreement,
         to prepare an abbreviated term sheet relating to the Designated
         Securities in a form approved by the Representatives that complies with
         the requirements of Rule 434 under the Act and to file such form of
         Rule 434 Prospectus complying with Rule 434(c)(2) of the Act pursuant
         to Rule 424(b) under the Act not later than the Commission's close of
         business on the business day following the execution and delivery of
         the Pricing Agreement relating to the applicable Designated Securities
         or if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 424(b);
         to make no further amendment or any supplement to the Registration
         Statement or Prospectus as amended or supplemented after the date of
         the Pricing Agreement relating to such Securities and prior to the Time
         of Delivery for such Securities which shall be disapproved by the
         Representatives for such Securities promptly after reasonable notice
         thereof; to advise the Representatives promptly of any such amendment
         or supplement after such Time of Delivery and furnish the
         Representatives with copies thereof; to file promptly all reports and
         any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by
         the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
         15(d) of the Exchange Act for so long as the delivery of a prospectus
         is required in connection with the offering or sale of such Securities,
         and during such same period to advise the Representatives, promptly
         after it receives notice thereof, of the time when any amendment to the
         Registration Statement has been filed or

                                       10



<PAGE>



         becomes effective or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended
         Prospectus has been filed with the Commission, of the issuance by the
         Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending
         the use of any prospectus relating to the Securities, of the suspension
         of the qualification of such Securities for offering or sale in any
         jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
         any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending
         or supplementing of the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for
         additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any such
         stop order or of any such order preventing or suspending the use of any
         prospectus relating to the Securities or suspending any such
         qualification, to promptly use its best efforts to obtain the
         withdrawal of such order;

             (b) If applicable, promptly from time to time to take such action
         as the Representatives may reasonably request to qualify such
         Securities for offering and sale under the securities laws of such
         jurisdictions as the Representatives may request and to comply with
         such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings therein
         in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary to complete the
         distribution of such Securities, provided that in connection therewith
         the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation
         or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction;

             (c) Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the New York business
         day next succeeding the date of the applicable Pricing Agreement and
         from time to time, to furnish the Underwriters with copies of the
         Prospectus in New York City as amended or supplemented in such
         quantities as the Representatives may reasonably request, and, if the
         delivery of a prospectus is required at any time in connection with the
         offering or sale of the Securities and if at such time any event shall
         have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or
         supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or
         omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
         statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
         were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if for
         any other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend
         or supplement the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any
         document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply
         with the Act, the Exchange Act or the Trust Indenture Act, to notify

                  existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of
                  the Commonwealth of Virginia, with corporate power and

                  qualify would have a materially adverse effect upon the
                  business of the Company;

                      (iv) Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly
                  organized and is validly existing as a corporation, limited
                  liability company, limited partnership or real estate
                  investment trust in good standing under the laws of the

                  as described in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented
                  except where the failure to so be in good standing would not

                  prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as

                  claim or equity; and the Company and one such corporate
                  subsidiary are the only members of the Company's limited
                  liability company or limited partnership subsidiaries and own
                  the entire membership or general partnership interest in each
                  such subsidiary free and clear of any security interest,
                  mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity;

                      (v) To the best of such counsel's knowledge and other than
                  as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no legal or
                  governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any
                  of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the

                  determined adversely to the Company or any of its
                  subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a
                  material adverse effect on the current or future consolidated
                  financial position, shareholders' equity or results of
                  operations of the Company and its subsidiaries; and, to the
                  best of such counsel's knowledge, no such proceedings are
                  threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or
                  threatened by others;

                  to the Designated Securities have been duly authorized,
                  executed and delivered by the Company;

                      (vii) The Designated Securities have been duly authorized,

                  and delivered by the parties thereto and constitutes a valid
                  and legally binding instrument, enforceable in accordance with
                  its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy,
                  insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general
                  applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and
                  to general equity principles; and the Indenture has been duly

                      (ix) The issue and sale of the Designated Securities being
                  delivered at such Time of Delivery and the compliance by the
                  Company with all of the provisions of

                  the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets
                  of the Company is subject, nor will such actions result in any
                  violation of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation
                  or By-laws of the Company or any statute or any order, rule or

                  which such counsel need express no opinion), when they became
                  effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may
                  be, complied as to form in all material respects with the
                  requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable,
                  and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;
                  and they have no reason to believe

                  so filed, as the case may be, contained, in the case of a
                  registration statement which became effective under the Act,
                  an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
                  material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
                  make the statements therein not misleading, or, in the case of
                  other documents which were filed under the Act or the Exchange
                  Act with the Commission, an untrue statement of a material
                  fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to

                  under which they were made when such documents were so filed,

                  the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations

                  to form in all material respects with the requirements of Rule
                  434 under the Act; although they do not assume any
                  responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
                  the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the
                  Prospectus, except for those referred to in the opinion in

                  prior to the Time of Delivery (other than the financial
                  statements and related schedules therein, as to which such
                  counsel need express no opinion) contained an untrue statement

                  which they were made, not misleading; and they do not know of
                  any amendment to the Registration Statement required to be
                  filed or any contracts or other documents of a character
                  required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration
                  Statement or required to be incorporated by reference into the

                  amended or supplemented which are not filed or incorporated by
                  reference or described as required;

             (d) Hunton & Williams, counsel for the Company, shall have
         furnished to the Representatives their written opinion, dated the Time
         of Delivery for such Designated Securities, in form and substance
         satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect that the Company has
         qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust pursuant to
         Sections 856 through 860 of the Code for its most recently ended fiscal

         the Company's organization and contemplated method of operation are
         such as to enable it to continue to so qualify for its current fiscal
         year;

             (e) On the date of the Pricing Agreement for such Designated
         Securities at a time prior to the execution of the Pricing Agreement
         with respect to such Designated Securities and at the Time of Delivery
         for such Designated Securities, the independent accountants of the

         interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other
         calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor
         dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise
         than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus as amended prior to
         the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the Designated
         Securities, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information
         is given in the Prospectus as amended prior to the date of the Pricing
         Agreement relating to the Designated Securities there shall not have
         been any change in the capital stock, total assets or long-term debt of
         the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any
         development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general
         affairs, management, financial position, shareholders' equity or
         results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise
         than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus as amended prior to
         the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the Designated
         Securities, the effect of which, in any such case described in Clause
         (i) or (ii), is in the judgment of the Representatives so material and
         adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the
         public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the
         terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus as first amended
         or supplemented relating to the Designated Securities;

             (g) On or after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the
         Designated Securities (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the
         rating accorded the Company's debt securities or preferred stock by any
         "nationally recognized statistical rating organization", as that term
         is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the
         Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that
         it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative
         implications, its rating of any of the Company's debt securities or
         preferred stock;

             (h) On or after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to the
         Designated Securities there shall not have occurred any of the
         following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in
         securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) a suspension
         or material limitation in trading in the Company's securities on the
         New York Stock Exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial
         banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York
         State authorities; or (iv) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities
         involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of
         a national emergency or war, if the effect of any such event specified
         in this Clause (iv) in the judgment of the Representatives makes it
         impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the
         delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the

                                       19



<PAGE>



         manner contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented;

             (i) The Company shall have complied with the provisions of Section
         5(c) hereof with respect to the furnishing of prospectuses on the New
         York business day next succeeding the date of the applicable Pricing
         Agreement; and

             (j) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to
         the Representatives at the Time of Delivery for the Designated
         Securities a certificate or certificates of officers of the Company
         satisfactory to the Representatives as to the accuracy of the
         representations and warranties of the Company herein at and as of such
         Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company of all of its
         obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of
         Delivery, as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (f) of
         this Section and as to such other matters as the Representatives may
         reasonably request.

     8. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary
prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented and any other prospectus relating to the Securities, or any
amendment or supplement thereto (including the information deemed to be a part
of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 434 under the Act, if
applicable), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, any
preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus as
amended or supplemented and any other prospectus relating to the Securities, or
any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter of Designated Securities
through the Representatives expressly for use in the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented relating to such Securities.


                                       20

     (b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become
subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any other prospectus
relating to the Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including
the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to
Rule 434 under the Act, if applicable), or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any
Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any other prospectus
relating to the Securities, or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will
reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim
as such expenses are incurred.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought
against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and,
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of
other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent
of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or

                                       21



<PAGE>



consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened
action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be
sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential
party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment
(i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or
on behalf of any indemnified party.

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
(b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated Securities
on the other from the offering of the Designated Securities to which such loss,
claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however,
the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted
by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required
under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters of the Designated
Securities on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such Underwriters on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds
from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to
the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters.
The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Underwriters on the other and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the
Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if
the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an

                                       22



<PAGE>



indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be
deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the applicable Designated Securities underwritten by it and
distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any
damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters
of Designated Securities in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in
proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such
Securities and not joint.

     (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the
Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which
the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

     9. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the
Designated Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the Pricing
Agreement relating to such Designated Securities, the Representatives may in
their discretion arrange for themselves or another party or other parties to
purchase such Designated Securities on the terms contained herein. If within
thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do
not arrange for the purchase of such Designated Securities, then the Company
shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to
procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to
purchase such Designated Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the
respective prescribed period, the Representatives notify the Company that they
have so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, or the Company
notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such
Designated Securities, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right
to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities for a period of
not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be
made necessary in the Registration Statement

                                       23



<PAGE>



or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, or in any other documents or
arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or
supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion
of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as
used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section
with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to the Pricing
Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities.

     (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the
Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the
aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities which remains
unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of
the Designated Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each
non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Designated
Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement
relating to such Designated Securities and, in addition, to require each
non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the
principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to
purchase under such Pricing Agreement) of the Designated Securities of such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been
made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability
for its default.

     (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the
Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the
aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities which remains unpurchased
exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of the Designated
Securities, as referred to in subsection (b) above, or if the Company shall not
exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting
Underwriters to purchase Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters, then the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities
shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company
and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and
contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a
defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

     10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in
this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this
Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf

                                       24



<PAGE>



of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company,
or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall
survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

     11. If any Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9
hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter
with respect to the Designated Securities covered by such Pricing Agreement
except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof; but, if for any other
reason Designated Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as
provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the
Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the
Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably
incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and
delivery of such Designated Securities, but the Company shall then be under no
further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Designated Securities
except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof.

     12. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives of the Underwriters of
Designated Securities shall act on behalf of each of such Underwriters, and the
parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request,
notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by such
Representatives jointly or by such of the Representatives, if any, as may be
designated for such purpose in the Pricing Agreement.

     All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the address of the Representatives as set forth in the
Pricing Agreement; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail,
telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the
Registration Statement: Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice
to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by
mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set
forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such
Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by the
Representatives upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or
agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

     13. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be binding upon, and
inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the extent
provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company
and each person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no
other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this
Agreement or any such Pricing Agreement. No purchaser of any

                                       25



<PAGE>



of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by
reason merely of such purchase.

     14. Time shall be of the essence of each Pricing Agreement. As used herein,
"business day" shall mean any day when the Commission's office in Washington,
D.C.  is open for business.

     15. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     16. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any one or
more of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

         If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign
and return to us [one for the Company and each of the Representatives plus one
for each counsel] counterparts hereof.

                        Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs:

part of this Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set
forth in full herein; and each of the representations and warranties set forth
therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Pricing
Agreement, except that each representation and warranty which refers to the
Prospectus in Section 2 of the Underwriting Agreement shall be deemed to be a
representation or warranty as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement in
relation to the Prospectus (as therein defined), and also a representation and
warranty as of the date of this Pricing Agreement in relation to the Prospectus
as amended or supplemented relating to the Designated Securities which are the
subject of this Pricing Agreement. Each reference to the Representatives herein
and in the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement so incorporated by reference
shall be deemed to refer to you. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined

     If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and
return to us [one for the Company and each of the Representatives plus one for
each counsel] counterparts hereof, and upon acceptance hereof by you, on behalf
of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance hereof, including
the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference,
shall constitute a binding agreement between each of the Underwriters and the
Company. It is understood that your acceptance of this letter on behalf of each

such term to include an Underwriter or Underwriters who act without any firm

[Name[s] of Representative[s]]


Dear Sirs:


         United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the
"Company"), proposes to issue and sell shares of common stock, par value $1.00
per share (the "Common Stock"), and shares of preferred stock without par value
(the "Preferred Stock") from time to time, in one or more offerings on terms to
be determined at the time of sale. Each series of Preferred Stock may vary as to
the specific number of shares, title, stated value, liquidation preference,
issuance price, ranking, dividend rate or rates (or method of calculation),
dividend payment dates, any redemption or sinking fund requirements, any
conversion provisions and any other variable terms as set forth in the
applicable Articles of Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation
(each, the "Articles of Amendment") relating to such series of Preferred Stock.
As used herein, "Securities" shall mean the Common Stock and the Preferred
Stock. As used herein, "you" and "your", unless the context otherwise requires,
shall mean the parties to whom this Agreement is addressed together with the
other parties, if any, identified in the applicable Terms Agreement (as
hereinafter defined) as additional co-managers with respect to Underwritten
Securities (as hereinafter defined) purchased pursuant thereto.

         Whenever the Company determines to make an offering of Securities
through you or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you, the Company
will enter into an agreement (the "Terms Agreement") providing for the sale of
such Securities (the "Underwritten Securities") to, and the purchase and
offering


<PAGE>



thereof by, you and such other underwriters, if any, selected by you as have
authorized you to enter into such Terms Agreement on their behalf (the
"Underwriters", which term shall include you whether acting alone in the sale of
the Underwritten Securities or as a member of an underwriting syndicate and any
Underwriter substituted pursuant to Section 10 hereof). The Terms Agreement
relating to the offering of Underwritten Securities shall specify the number of
Underwritten Securities of each class or series to be initially issued (the
"Initial Underwritten Securities"), the names of the Underwriters participating
in such offering (subject to substitution as provided in Section 10 hereof), the
number of Initial Underwritten Securities which each such Underwriter severally
agrees to purchase, the names of such of you or such other Underwriters acting
as co-managers, if any, in connection with such offering, the price at which the
Initial Underwritten Securities are to be purchased by the Underwriters from the
Company, the initial public offering price, the time, date and place of delivery
and payment, any delayed delivery arrangements and any other variable terms of
the Initial Underwritten Securities (including, but not limited to, current
ratings (in the case of Preferred Stock only), designations, liquidation
preferences, conversion provisions, redemption provisions and sinking fund
requirements). In addition, each Terms Agreement shall specify whether the
Company has agreed to grant to the Underwriters an option to purchase additional
Underwritten Securities to cover over-allotments, if any, and the number of
Underwritten Securities subject to such option (the "Option Securities"). As
used herein, the term "Underwritten Securities" shall include the Initial
Underwritten Securities and all or any portion of the Option Securities agreed
to be purchased by the Underwriters as provided herein, if any. The Terms
Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, may
take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication
between you and the Company. Each offering of Underwritten Securities through
you or through an underwriting syndicate managed by you will be governed by this
Agreement, as supplemented by the applicable Terms Agreement.

         The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 33-_______) (which also
constitutes post-effective amendment No. 1 to registration statement No.
33-64275) for the registration of the Securities (including the Underwritten
Securities) and certain of the Company's debt securities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the offering thereof from time to
time in accordance with Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Commission
under the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act Regulations"), and the Company has filed such
amendments thereto as may have been required prior to the execution of the
applicable Terms Agreement. Such registration



                                       2

statement (as amended, if applicable) has been declared effective by the
Commission. Such registration statement (as amended, if applicable), on the one
hand, and the prospectus constituting a part thereof and each prospectus
supplement relating to the offering of Underwritten Securities provided to the
Underwriters for use (whether or not such prospectus supplement is required to
be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations)
(the "Prospectus Supplement"), on the other hand, including in each case all
documents incorporated therein by reference and the information, if any, deemed
to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A(b) or Rule 434 of the 1933 Act
Regulations, as from time to time amended or supplemented pursuant to the 1933
Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), or
otherwise, are referred to herein as the "Registration Statement" and the
"Prospectus", respectively; provided, however, that a Prospectus Supplement
shall be deemed to have supplemented the Prospectus only with respect to the
offering of Underwritten Securities to which it relates. All references in this
Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is
"contained," "included" or "stated" in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and
include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which
is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to
amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall
be deemed to mean and include, without limitation, any document filed under the
1934 Act which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be. If the Company
elects to rely on Rule 434 under the 1933 Act Regulations, all references to the
Prospectus shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the form of
prospectus and the abbreviated term sheet, taken together, provided to the
Underwriters by the Company in reliance on Rule 434 under the 1933 Act (the
"Rule 434 Prospectus"). If the Company files a registration statement to
register a portion of the Securities and relies on Rule 462(b) for such
registration statement to become effective upon filing with the Commission (the
"Rule 462 Registration Statement"), then any reference to "Registration
Statement" herein shall be deemed to be to both the registration statement
referred to above (No. 33-_____) and the Rule 462 Registration Statement, as
each such registration statement may be amended pursuant to the 1933 Act.

             (iv) The financial statements and supporting schedules included in,
         or incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement and the
         Prospectus present fairly in all material respects the financial

         as otherwise stated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus,
         said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis;
         and the supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in
         the Registration Statement and the Prospectus present fairly in all
         material respects the information required to be stated therein.

             (v) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in

         business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its
         subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise; each such subsidiary is
         duly qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions in which the
         conduct of its business requires such qualification, or in which the
         failure to qualify would have a materially adverse effect upon the

         encumbrance, claim or equity; and the Company and one such corporate
         subsidiary are the only members of the Company's limited liability
         company or limited partnership subsidiaries and own the entire
         membership or general partnership interest in each such subsidiary free
         and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien,
         encumbrance, claim or equity.

           (viii) The authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common and
         preferred stock of the Company are as set forth in the Prospectus under

         referred to in the Registration Statement including, without
         limitation, the exercise or grant of stock options pursuant to the

         preferred stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly
         issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to

         not subject to preemptive or other similar rights.

                  (x) If applicable, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
         conversion of any of the Preferred Stock will have been duly and
         validly authorized and reserved for issuance upon such conversion or
         exercise by all necessary corporate action and such shares, when issued
         upon such conversion or exercise, will be duly and validly issued,
         fully paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of such shares upon

         respects to all statements relating thereto contained in the
         Prospectus.

                  (xi) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in
         violation of its Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws or in default in
         the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or
         condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan
         agreement, note, lease (other than as disclosed in the Prospectus) or
         other instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a
         party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of
         the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
         subject and which default is of material significance in respect of the
         business or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries
         considered as one enterprise; and the execution, delivery and
         performance of this Agreement and the applicable Terms Agreement and
         the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein
         and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder and
         thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
         on the part of the Company, and will not conflict with or constitute a
         breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of
         any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the
         Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to any contract, indenture,
         mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the
         Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of
         them may be bound, or to which any property or assets of the Company or
         any of its subsidiaries is subject, or result in any violation of the
         Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or any law,
         administrative regulation or administrative or court decree.

                  (xii)  With respect to all tax periods regarding which the
         Internal Revenue Service is or will be entitled to


                                       7

<PAGE>



         assert any claim, the Company has met the requirements for
         qualification as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856
         through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
         "Code"), and the Company's present and contemplated operations, assets
         and income continue to meet such requirements.

                  (xiii) The Company is not and, after giving effect to the
         offering and sale of the Underwritten Securities, will not be an
         "investment company" or an entity "controlled" by an "investment
         company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
         amended (the "1940 Act").

                  (xiv) The conditions for use of registration statements on
         Form S-3 set forth in the General Instructions on Form S-3 have been
         satisfied and the Company is entitled to use such form for the
         transaction contemplated herein and in any applicable Terms Agreement.

                  (xv) There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any
         court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending,
         or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or
         any of its subsidiaries which is required to be disclosed in the
         Prospectus (other than as disclosed therein) or which might result in
         any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise,
         or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the
         Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or which
         might materially and adversely affect the properties or assets thereof
         or which might materially and adversely affect the consummation of this
         Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement or the transactions
         contemplated herein and therein; all pending legal or governmental
         proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party
         or of which any of their respective property is the subject which are
         not described in the Prospectus, including ordinary routine litigation
         incidental to the business, are, considered in the aggregate, not
         material; and there are no contracts or documents of the Company or any
         of its subsidiaries which would be required to be filed as exhibits to
         the Registration Statement by the 1933 Act or by the 1933 Act
         Regulations which have not been filed as exhibits to the Registration
         Statement.

                  (xvi) No authorization, approval or consent of any
         governmental authority or agency is necessary in connection with the
         consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement, except such as may be
         required under the 1933 Act



                                       8

<PAGE>



         or the 1933 Act Regulations or state securities or Blue Sky laws.

                  (xvii) The Company has full right, power and authority to
         enter into this Agreement, the applicable Terms Agreement and the
         Delayed Delivery Contracts, if any, and this Agreement has been, and as
         of the applicable Representation Date, the applicable Terms Agreement
         and the Delayed Delivery Contracts, if any, will have been, duly
         authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

                  (xviii) The Company and its subsidiaries have good and
         marketable title to, or valid and enforceable leasehold estates in, all
         items of real and personal property referred to in the Prospectus as
         owned or leased by them, in each case free and clear of all liens,
         encumbrances, claims, security interests and defects, other than those
         referred to in the Prospectus or which are not material in amount. Each
         lease of real property by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as
         lessor requiring annual lease payments in excess of $100,000 is the
         legal, valid and binding obligation of the lessee in accordance with
         its terms (except that the remedy of specific performance and
         injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to
         equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
         proceeding therefor may be brought and to the Bankruptcy Act) and the
         rents which at present have remained due and unpaid for more than 30
         days are not payable under leases such that, were no further rental
         payments to be received under such leases, the financial condition or
         results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries would be
         materially adversely affected thereby. The Company has no reason to
         believe that the lessee under any lease (excluding leases for which
         rent payments due for the remainder of such lease are less than
         $500,000) calling for annual lease payments in excess of $500,000 is
         not financially capable of performing its obligations thereunder.

                  (xix) The Company has filed all Federal, local and foreign
         income tax returns which have been required to be filed and has paid
         all taxes indicated by said returns and all assessments received by it
         to the extent that such taxes have become due and are not being
         contested in good faith.

                  (xx) The Company and each of its subsidiaries hold all
         material licenses, certificates and permits from governmental
         authorities which are necessary to the conduct of their respective
         businesses; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has
         infringed any patents, patent


                                       9

<PAGE>



         rights, trade names, trademarks or copyrights, which infringement is
         material to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

                  (xxi) The Company has no knowledge of (a) the unlawful
         presence of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic
         substances or waste materials (collectively, "Hazardous Materials") on
         any of the properties owned by it or any of its subsidiaries, or of (b)
         any unlawful spills, releases, discharges or disposal of Hazardous
         Materials that have occurred or are presently occurring off such
         properties as a result of any construction on or operation and use of
         such properties which presence or occurrence would materially adversely
         affect the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business
         affairs or business prospects of the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries. In connection with the construction on or operation and
         use of the properties owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
         the Company represents that it has no knowledge of any material failure
         to comply with all applicable local, state and federal environmental
         laws, regulations, ordinances and administrative and judicial orders
         relating to the generation, recycling, reuse, sale, storage, handling,
         transport and disposal of any Hazardous Materials.

         (b) Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered
to you or to counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the offering of the
Underwritten Securities shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the
Company to each Underwriter participating in such offering as to the matters
covered thereby on the date of such certificate and, unless subsequently amended
or supplemented, at the applicable Representation Date subsequent thereto.

         Section 2.  Purchase and Sale.

         (a) The several commitments of the Underwriters to purchase the
Underwritten Securities pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement shall be
deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties
herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth.

         (b) In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties
herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Company may grant, if so provided in the applicable Terms Agreement relating to
the Initial Underwritten Securities, an option to the Underwriters named in such
Terms Agreement, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to the number of
Option Securities set forth therein


                                       10

<PAGE>



at the same price per Option Security as is applicable to the Initial
Underwritten Securities less an amount equal to any dividend paid by the Company
and payable on the Initial Underwritten Securities and not payable on such
Option Securities. Such option, if granted, will expire 30 days (or such lesser
number of days as may be specified in the applicable Terms Agreement) after the
Representation Date relating to the Initial Underwritten Securities, and may be
exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the purpose of covering
over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering and
distribution of the Initial Underwritten Securities upon notice by you to the
Company setting forth the number of Option Securities as to which the several
Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and
delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time, date and place of delivery
(a "Date of Delivery") shall be determined by you, but shall not be later than
seven full business days nor earlier than two full business days after the
exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to Closing Time, unless
otherwise agreed upon by you and the Company. If the option is exercised as to
all or any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting
severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of
Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial Underwritten
Securities each such Underwriter has severally agreed to purchase as set forth
in the applicable Terms Agreement bears to the total number of Initial
Underwritten Securities (except as otherwise provided in the applicable Terms
Agreement), subject to such adjustments as you in your discretion shall make to
eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional Underwritten Securities.

         (c) Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the
Underwritten Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters shall be made at the
office of Brown & Wood LLP, 58th Floor, One World Trade Center, New York, New
York 10048-0557, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the
Company, at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third business day (unless
postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 herein) following the
date of the applicable Terms Agreement or, if pricing takes place after 4:30
P.M., New York City time, on the date of the applicable Terms Agreement, on the
fourth business day (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10) following the date of the applicable Terms Agreement or at such
other time as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company (each such time and
date of payment and delivery being referred to herein as the "Closing Time"). In
addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by
the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of
certificates representing, such Option Securities, shall be made at the
above-mentioned offices of Brown & Wood LLP, or at


                                       11

<PAGE>



such other place as shall be agreed upon by you and the Company on each Date of
Delivery as specified in the notice from you to the Company. Unless otherwise
specified in the applicable Terms Agreement, payment shall be made to the
Company by certified or official bank check or checks in New York Clearing House
funds payable to the order of the Company against delivery to you for the
respective accounts of the Underwriters of the certificates for the Underwritten
Securities to be purchased by them. The Underwritten Securities shall be in such
authorized denominations and registered in such names as you may request in
writing at least one business day prior to the Closing Time or Date of Delivery,
as the case may be. The Underwritten Securities, which may be in temporary form,
will be made available for examination and packaging by you on or before 3:00
P.M. on the first business day prior to the Closing Time or the Date of
Delivery, as the case may be.

         If authorized by the applicable Terms Agreement, the Underwriters named
therein may solicit offers to purchase Underwritten Securities from the Company
pursuant to delayed delivery contracts ("Delayed Delivery Contracts")
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto with such changes therein as the
Company may approve. As compensation for arranging Delayed Delivery Contracts,
the Company will pay to you at Closing Time, for the respective accounts of the
Underwriters, a fee specified in the applicable Terms Agreement for each of the
Underwritten Securities for which Delayed Delivery Contracts are made at the
Closing Time as is specified in the applicable Terms Agreement. Any Delayed
Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors of the types described
in the Prospectus. At the Closing Time, the Company will enter into Delayed
Delivery Contracts (for not less than the minimum number of Underwritten
Securities per Delayed Delivery Contract specified in the applicable Terms
Agreement) with all purchasers proposed by the Underwriters and previously
approved by the Company as provided below, but not for an aggregate number of
Underwritten Securities in excess of that specified in the applicable Terms
Agreement. The Underwriters will not have any responsibility for the validity or
performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts.

         You shall submit to the Company, at least two business days prior to
the Closing Time, the names of any institutional investors with which it is
proposed that the Company will enter into Delayed Delivery Contracts and the
number of Underwritten Securities to be purchased by each of them, and the
Company will advise you, at least one business day prior to the Closing Time, of
the names of the institutions with which the making of Delayed Delivery
Contracts is approved by the Company and the number of Underwritten Securities
to be covered by each such Delayed Delivery Contract.


                                       12

<PAGE>



         The number of Underwritten Securities agreed to be purchased by the
several Underwriters pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement shall be reduced
by the number of Underwritten Securities covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts,
as to each Underwriter as set forth in a written notice delivered by you to the
Company; provided, however, that the total number of Underwritten Securities to
be purchased by all Underwriters shall be the total number of Underwritten
Securities covered by the applicable Terms Agreement, less the number of
Underwritten Securities covered by Delayed Delivery Contracts.

         SECTION 3. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with you,
and with each Underwriter participating in the offering of Underwritten
Securities, as follows:

         (a) If the Company does not elect to rely on Rule 434 under the 1933
Act Regulations, immediately following the execution of the applicable Terms
Agreement, the Company will prepare a Prospectus Supplement setting forth the
number of Underwritten Securities covered thereby and their terms not otherwise
specified in the Prospectus pursuant to which the Underwritten Securities are
being issued, the names of the Underwriters participating in the offering and
the number of Underwritten Securities which each severally has agreed to
purchase, the names of the Underwriters acting as co-managers in connection with
the offering, the price at which the Underwritten Securities are to be purchased
by the Underwriters from the Company, the initial public offering price, if any,
the selling concession and reallowance, if any, any delayed delivery
arrangements, and such other information as you and the Company deem appropriate
in connection with the offering of the Underwritten Securities; and the Company
will promptly transmit copies of the Prospectus Supplement to the Commission for
filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations and will furnish to
the Underwriters named therein as many copies of the Prospectus (including such
Prospectus Supplement) as you shall reasonably request. If the Company elects to
rely on Rule 434 under the 1933 Act Regulations, immediately following the
execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare an
abbreviated term sheet that complies with the requirements of Rule 434 under the
1933 Act Regulations and will provide the Underwriters with copies of the form
of Rule 434 Prospectus, in such number as you shall reasonably request, and, if
necessary, promptly file or transmit for filing with the Commission the form of
Prospectus complying with Rule 434(c)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations in
accordance with Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations.

                                       13

<PAGE>

         (b)  The Company will notify you immediately, and confirm such notice
in writing, of (i) the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration
Statement, (ii) the transmittal to the Commission for filing of any Prospectus
Supplement or other supplement or amendment to the Prospectus to be filed
pursuant to the 1934 Act, (iii) the receipt of any comments from the Commission,
(iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration
Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional
information, and (v) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose; and the Company will make every reasonable effort
to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if any stop order is issued,
to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

         (c) At any time when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under
the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten
Securities, the Company will give you notice of its intention to file or prepare
any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to
the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, 1934 Act or otherwise
(including any revised prospectus which the Company proposes for use by the
Underwriters in connection with an offering of Underwritten Securities which
differs from the Prospectus on file at the Commission at the time the
Registration Statement first becomes effective, whether or not such revised
prospectus is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act
Regulations, or any abbreviated term sheet prepared in reliance on Rule 434 of

amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be used or filed a
reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and, unless required by
law, will not file or use any such amendment or supplement or other documents in
a form to which you or counsel for the Underwriters shall reasonably object.

         (d) The Company will deliver to each Underwriter a signed copy of the
Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto
(including exhibits filed therewith and documents incorporated by reference
therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act) as you reasonably
request and will also deliver to each Underwriter a conformed copy of the
Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto
(including documents incorporated by reference but without exhibits).

         (e) The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, from time to time
during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933

may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the 1933 Act, the 1933
Act Regulations, the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations.

         (f) If at any time when the Prospectus is required to be delivered
under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act in connection with sales of the Underwritten
Securities any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is
necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, to amend or
supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it
shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend or
supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to comply with
the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, then the Company
will promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendment or supplement,
whether by filing documents pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise,
as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the
Registration Statement and Prospectus comply with such requirements.

         (g) If applicable, the Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the
Underwriters, to qualify the Underwritten Securities and the Common Stock

each jurisdiction in which the Underwritten Securities and the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, if any, have been so qualified,
the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws
of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for so long as may
be required for the distribution of the Underwritten Securities and the Common

                  qualify would have a materially adverse effect upon the
                  business of the Company.

                  Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act or proceedings
                  therefor initiated or threatened by the Commission.

                      (ix) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus,
                  excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, as
                  of their respective effective or issue dates, comply as to
                  form in all material respects with the requirements of the
                  1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations; it being understood,
                  however, that no opinion need be rendered with respect to the
                  financial statements, schedules and other financial and
                  statistical data included or incorporated by reference in the

                  1934 Act Regulations.

                  interests and powers of the Preferred Stock are as set forth
                  in the Articles of Amendment relating thereto, and all such
                  provisions are valid under applicable Virginia law; and the
                  form of certificate used to evidence the Preferred Stock is in
                  due and proper form under applicable Virginia law, and

                  instrument so described, referred to or filed which would have
                  a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or
                  otherwise, or on the earnings, business affairs or business
                  prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as
                  one enterprise.

                  transactions contemplated herein and therein and compliance by
                  the Company with its obligations hereunder and thereunder will
                  not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under
                  or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
                  encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any
                  of its subsidiaries pursuant to any contract, indenture,

                  such documents and matters.

                  (2) The favorable opinion, dated as of Closing Time, of Hunton
         & Williams, counsel for the Company, in form and substance satisfactory
         to counsel for the Underwriters, to the effect that the Company has
         qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust pursuant to
         Sections 856 through 860 of the Code for its most recently ended fiscal
         year and for the four fiscal years immediately preceding such year, and
         the Company's organization and contemplated method of operation are
         such as to enable it to continue to so qualify for its current fiscal
         year.

                  (3) The favorable opinion, dated as of the Closing Time, of
         Brown & Wood LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, with respect to the due
         organization of the Company and the matters set forth in (v) to (ix),
         inclusive, and (xii), (xv) and (xviii) of subsection (b)(1) of this
         Section. In rendering their opinion, Brown & Wood LLP may rely as to
         matters of Virginia law upon the opinion of Hunton & Williams.

                  (4) In giving their opinions required by subsections (b)(1)
         and (b)(3), respectively, of this Section, Hunton & Williams and Brown
         & Wood LLP shall each additionally state that nothing has come to their
         attention that would lead them to believe that the Registration
         Statement or any amendment thereto (excluding the financial statements
         and financial schedules included or incorporated by reference therein,
         as to which such counsel need express no belief), at the time it became
         effective or at the time an Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed by the
         Company with the Commission (whichever is later), or at the
         Representation Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact
         or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the
         Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (excluding the
         financial statements and financial schedules included or incorporated
         by reference therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief),
         at the Representation Date or at Closing Time, included or includes an
         untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a
         material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
         light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

         (c) At Closing Time, there shall not have been, since the date of the
applicable Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information
is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition,
financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business
prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise,
whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business; and you shall have
received a certificate of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, dated as of
such Closing Time, to the effect that (i) there has been no such material
adverse change and (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 1 are true
and correct with the same force and effect as though such Closing Time were a
Representation Date. As used in this Section 5(c), the term "Prospectus" means
the Prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of the Underwritten
Securities.

         (d) At the time of execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, you
shall have received from Ernst & Young LLP a letter dated such date, in form and
substance satisfactory to you, to the effect that (i) they are independent
accountants with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries within the meaning
of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and the applicable published rules and
regulations thereunder; (ii) it is their opinion that the consolidated financial
statements and supporting schedules of the Company and its subsidiaries included
or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
and covered by their opinions therein comply in form in all material respects
with the applicable accounting requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and
the related published rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) based upon limited
procedures set forth in detail in such letter (which shall include, without
limitation, the procedures specified by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants for a review of interim financial information as described in
SAS No. 71, Interim Financial Information, with respect to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries
included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), nothing
came to their attention that caused them to believe that (A) any material
modifications should be made to the unaudited financial statements and financial
statement schedules of the Company and its subsidiaries included or incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, (B) the unaudited
financial statements and financial statement schedules of the Company included
or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus do
not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements of the 1934 Act and the related published rules and regulations
thereunder, or (C) at a specified date not more than three days prior to the
date of the applicable Terms Agreement, there has been any change in the capital
stock of the Company or in the notes payable or mortgage notes payable of the
Company or any decrease in the total assets of the Company, as compared with the
amounts shown in the most recent consolidated balance sheet included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or,
during the period from the date of the most recent consolidated statement of
operations included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus to a specified date not more than three days prior to the
date of the applicable Terms Agreement, there were any decreases, as compared
with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in rental income or in the
total or per share amounts of net income or income before gains (losses) on
investments and extraordinary items of the Company, except in all instances for
changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus


                                       24

<PAGE>



disclose have occurred or may occur; (iv) they have compared the information in
the Prospectus under selected captions with the disclosure requirements of
Regulation S-K and on the basis of limited procedures specified in such letter
nothing came to their attention as a result of the foregoing procedures that
caused them to believe that this information does not conform in all material
respects with the disclosure requirements of Items 301, 402 and 503(d) of
Regulation S-K; and (v) in addition to the audit referred to in their opinions
and the limited procedures referred to in clause (iii) above, they have carried
out certain specified procedures, not constituting an audit, with respect to
certain amounts, percentages and financial information which are included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and
which are specified by you, and have found such amounts, percentages and
financial information to be in agreement with the relevant accounting, financial
and other records of the Company and its subsidiaries identified in such letter.

         (e) At Closing Time, you shall have received from Ernst & Young LLP a
letter dated as of such Closing Time to the effect that they reaffirm the
statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to subsection (d) of this
Section, except that the "specified date" referred to shall be a date not more
than three days prior to such Closing Time.

         (f) At Closing Time, counsel for the Underwriters shall have been
furnished with such documents and opinions as they may reasonably require for
the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale of the
Underwritten Securities as herein contemplated and related proceedings, or in
order to evidence the accuracy of any of the representations or warranties, or
the fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings
taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of the
Underwritten Securities as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and
substance to you and counsel for the Underwriters.

         (g) In the event the Underwriters exercise their option provided in a
Terms Agreement as set forth in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any
portion of the Option Securities, the representations and warranties of the
Company contained herein and the statements in any certificates furnished by the
Company hereunder shall be true and correct as of each Date of Delivery, and you
shall have received:



                                       25

<PAGE>



                  (1) A certificate, dated such Date of Delivery, of the
         President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President and
         Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in their capacities as such,
         confirming that the certificate delivered at Closing Time pursuant to
         Section 5(c) hereof remains true and correct as of such Date of
         Delivery.

                  (2) The favorable opinions of Hunton & Williams, counsel for
         the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the
         Underwriters, dated such Date of Delivery, relating to the Option
         Securities and otherwise substantially to the same effect as the
         opinions required by Sections 5(b)(1) and 5(b)(2) hereof.

                  (3) The favorable opinion of Brown & Wood LLP, counsel for the
         Underwriters, dated such Date of Delivery, relating to the Option
         Securities and otherwise to the same effect as the opinion required by
         Section 5(b)(3) hereof.

                  (4) A letter from Ernst & Young LLP, in form and substance
         satisfactory to you and dated such Date of Delivery, substantially the
         same in scope and substance as the letter furnished to you pursuant to
         Section 5(e) hereof, except that the "specified date" in the letter
         furnished pursuant to this Section 5(g)(4) shall be a date not more
         than three days prior to such Date of Delivery.

         If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been
fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, the applicable Terms Agreement
may be terminated by you by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to the
Closing Time, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to
any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof.

         Section 6.  Indemnification.  (a)  The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act as follows:

                  (1) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
         expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or
         alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
         Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the
         information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant
         to Rule 430A(b) or Rule 434 of the 1933 Act Regulations, if applicable,
         or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
         required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or
         alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary
         prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto)
         or the omission, or alleged omission therefrom, of a material fact
         necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the



                                       26

<PAGE>



         light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

                  (2) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
         expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount
         paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by
         any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any
         claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission
         referred to in subsection (1) above, or any such alleged untrue
         statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written
         consent of the Company; and

                  (3) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
         (including, the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by you),
         reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against
         any litigation, or any investigation or proceedings by any governmental
         agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based
         upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
         statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid
         under (1) or (2) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any
Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto).

         (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim,
damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of
this Section, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or
alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or
any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through you expressly
for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto).


                                       27

         (c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in
respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an
indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability
which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An
indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of such
action. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and
expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate
from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one
action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

         Section 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
Section 6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties
although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the
Underwriters with respect to the offering of the Underwritten Securities shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of
the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and
one or more of the Underwriters in respect of such offering, as incurred, in
such proportions that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion
represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the
cover page of the applicable Prospectus Supplement in respect of such offering
bears to the initial public offering price appearing thereon and the Company is
responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the total price at which the Underwritten Securities
purchased by it pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement and distributed to
the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which
such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages and expenses. For purposes of this Section 7, each
person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and
each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.

         Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement or the applicable Terms Agreement, or contained in certificates of
officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in
full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement, or
investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person,
or by or on behalf of the Company and shall survive delivery of and payment for
the Underwritten Securities to the Underwriters.

         Section 9. Termination of Agreement. (a) This Agreement (excluding the
applicable Terms Agreement) may be terminated for any reason at any time by the
Company or by you upon the giving of 30 days' written notice of such termination
to the other party hereto; provided that this Agreement may not be terminated
prior to the Closing Time set forth in any applicable Terms Agreement.

         (b) You may also terminate the applicable Terms Agreement, by notice to
the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been,
since the date of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which
information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the
condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or
business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one
enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii)
if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in
the United States or any outbreak of hostilities or other calamity or crisis or
escalation of any existing hostilities, the effect of which is such as to make
it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Underwritten Securities or
enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten Securities, or (iii) if
trading in any of the securities of the Company has been suspended by the
Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on either the
New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange has been suspended, or
minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for
prices for securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by
order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or if a banking
moratorium has been declared by Federal, New York or Virginia authorities, or
(iv) if Preferred Stock is being offered and the rating assigned by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization to any preferred stock or
debt of the Company as of the date of the applicable Terms Agreement shall have
been lowered since such date or if any such rating organization shall have
publicly announced that it has placed any preferred stock or debt of the Company
on what is commonly termed a "watch list" for possible downgrading. As used in
this Section 9(b), the term


                                       29

<PAGE>



"Prospectus" means the Prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of the
Underwritten Securities.

         (c) In the event of any such termination, (x) the covenants set forth
in Section 3 with respect to any offering of Underwritten Securities shall
remain in effect so long as any Underwriter owns any such Underwritten
Securities purchased from the Company pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement
and (y) the covenant set forth in Section 3(h) hereof, the provisions of Section
4 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Sections 6 and
7 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 8 and 13 hereof shall remain in effect.

         Section 10.  Default by One or More of the Underwriters.  If one or
more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the
Underwritten Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under the
applicable Terms Agreement (the "Defaulted Securities"), then you shall have the
right, within 48 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the
non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not
less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon
and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, you shall not have completed
such arrangements within such 48-hour period, then:

         (a) if the total number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of
the total number of Underwritten Securities to be purchased pursuant to such
Terms Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters named in such Terms Agreement
shall be obligated to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that
their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting
obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

         (b) if the total number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the
total number of Underwritten Securities to be purchased pursuant to such Terms
Agreement, the applicable Terms Agreement shall terminate without liability on
the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

         No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of its default under this Agreement and
the applicable Terms Agreement.

         In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination
of the applicable Terms Agreement, either you or the Company shall have the
right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in
order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

Terms Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in

                                    Article I

                            Meetings Of Stockholders

     1.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at
such place, either within or without the State of Virginia, as may be designated
by the Board of Directors.

     1.2 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders, for the election of
Directors and transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting,
shall be held at such time and date as designated by the Board of Directors.

     1.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose
or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, by the
President, or by a majority of the Board of Directors. No business shall be
transacted and no corporate action shall be taken at a special meeting other
than that stated in the notice of the meeting.

     1.4 Notice of Meetings. Unless waived in the manner prescribed by law,
notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given in writing, not less than
ten nor more than sixty days before the day of the meeting, or such other notice
as is required by law, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and
shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a
special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the
United States mail, with postage thereon prepaid, directed to the stockholder at
his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Bank.

     1.5 Quorum. Any number of stockholders together holding a majority of the
outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote with respect to the
business to be transacted, who shall be present in person or represented by
proxy at any meeting duly called, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business. If less than a quorum shall be in attendance at the time for which
a meeting shall have been called, the meeting may be adjourned from time to time

other than by announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall attend.

     1.6 Voting. At any meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder of a class
entitled to vote on any matter coming before the meeting shall, as to such
matter, have one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of capital stock of
such class standing in his name on the stock transfer books of the Bank on the
date, not more than seventy days prior to such meeting, as designated by the
Board of Directors, for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to
vote, as the date on which the stock transfer books of the Bank are to be closed
or as the record date.

Every proxy shall be in writing and signed by the stockholder entitled to vote
or signed by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. At a meeting where a quorum
is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at
the meeting and entitled to vote shall be the act of the stockholders.

     1.7 Conduct of Meetings. At each meeting of the stockholders, the Chairman
of the Board or the President shall act as chairman and preside. In their

of such meeting shall appoint, shall act as corporate secretary of such meeting.

     1.8 Inspectors. An appropriate number of inspectors for any meeting of

appointed will open and close the polls, will receive and take charge of proxies
and ballots, and will decide all questions as to the qualifications of voters,
validity of proxies and ballots, and the number of votes properly cast.

him in the performance of his duties. Nothing herein shall preclude Directors
and members of any committee of the Board from serving the Bank in other
capacities and receiving compensation therefor.

     2.8 Eligibility. No person shall be eligible to serve as a Director unless,
when his term commences, he is not less than twenty-one years of age nor more

professional organization with which he was primarily associated at the time he
first became a Director, unless elected after becoming associated with another
business or professional organization. Except for the Chief Executive Officer,
no Director who is an officer of the Corporation or any subsidiary shall be

Schedule RC-R--Regulatory Capital

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows:  Banks that
reported total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC, item 12,
for June 30, 1996, must complete items 2 through 9 and Memoranda items
1 and 2.  Banks with assets of less than $1 billion must complete
items 1 through 3 below or  Schedule RC-R in its entirety, depending on
their response to item 1 below.

1. Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed.
To be completed only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion.                                          C480
Indicate in the appropriate box at the right whether the bank has total capital                              Yes    No
greater than or equal to eight percent of adjusted total assets                                    RCFD 6056               1.

</TABLE>

    For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets
    less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government agency obligations, and 80
    percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the
    allowance for loan and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet
    items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).

    If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete
    items 2 and 3 below.  If the box marked NO has been checked, the bank must
    complete the remainder of this schedule.

    A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual
    risk-based capital ratio is less than eight percent or that the bank is not
    in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

    NOTE: All banks are required to complete items 2 and 3 below. See optional
          worksheet for items 3.a through 3.f.

Legal Title of Bank                             City            State

The management of the reporting bank may, if it wishes, submit a brief
narrative statement on the amounts reported in the Reports of
Condition and Income.  This optional statement will be made available
to the public, along with the publicly available data in the Reports
of Condition and Income, in response to any request for individual
bank report data.  However, the information reported in column A and
in all of Memorandum item 1 of Schedule RC-N is regarded as
confidential and will not be released to the public.  BANKS CHOOSING
TO SUBMIT THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT
DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NAMES OR OTHER IDENTIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BANK
CUSTOMERS, REFERENCES TO THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL
ITEMS IN SCHEDULE RC-N, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE NOT
WILLING TO  HAVE MADE PUBLIC OR THAT WOULD COMPROMISE THE PRIVACY OF
THEIR CUSTOMERS.  Banks choosing not to make a statement may check the
"No comment" box below and should make no entries of any kind in the
space provided for the narrative statement; i.e., DO NOT enter in this
space such phrases as "No statement," "Not applicable," "N/A," "No
comment," and "None."

The optional statement must be entered on this sheet.  The statement
should not exceed 100 words.  Further, regardless of the number of
words, the statement must not exceed 750 characters, including
punctuation, indentation, and standard spacing between words and
sentences.  If any submission should exceed 750 characters, as
defined, it will be truncated at 750 characters with no notice to the
submitting bank and the truncated statement will appear as the bank's
statement both on agency computerized records and in computer-file
releases to the public.

All information furnished by the bank in the narrative statement must
be accurate and not misleading.  Appropriate efforts shall be taken by
the submitting bank to ensure the statement's accuracy.  The statement
must be signed, in the space provided below, by a senior officer of
the bank who thereby attests to its accuracy.

If, subsequent to the original submission, material changes are
submitted for the data reported in the Reports of Condition and
Income, the existing narrative statement will be deleted from the
files, and from disclosure; the bank, at its option, may replace it
with a statement, under signature, appropriate to the amended data.

The optional narrative statement will appear in agency records and in
release to the public exactly as submitted (or amended as described in
the preceding paragraph) by the management of the bank (except for the
truncation of statements exceeding the 750-character limit described
above).  THE STATEMENT WILL NOT BE EDITED OR SCREENED IN ANY WAY BY
THE SUPERVISORY AGENCIES FOR ACCURACY OR RELEVANCE.  DISCLOSURE OF THE
STATEMENT SHALL NOT SIGNIFY THAT ANY FEDERAL SUPERVISORY AGENCY
HAS VERIFIED OR CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED
THEREIN.  A STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT WILL APPEAR ON ANY PUBLIC RELEASE
OF THE OPTIONAL STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE REPORTING
BANK.

LOANS TO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (Complete as of each Call Report Date)

The following information is required by Public Laws 90-44 and 102-
242, but does not constitute a part of the Report of Condition.  With
each Report of Condition, these Laws require all banks to furnish a
report of all loans or other extensions of credit to their executive
officers made since the date of the previous Report of Condition.
Data regarding individual loans or other extensions of credit are not
required.  If no such loans or other extensions of credit were made
during the period, insert "none" against subitem (a).  (Exclude the
first $15,000 of indebtedness of each executive officer under bank
credit card plan.)  See Sections 215.2 and 215.3 of Title 12 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (Federal Reserve Board Regulation O) for
the definitions of "executive officer" and "extension of credit,"
respectively.  Exclude loans and other extensions of credit to
directors and principal shareholders who are not executive officers.
