APPEARING   ELSEWHERE  IN  THIS  PROSPECTUS.   UNLESS  OTHERWISE  INDICATED  ALL
INFORMATION IN  THIS PROSPECTUS  ASSUMES THAT  THE UNDERWRITERS'  OVER-ALLOTMENT
OPTION  IS  NOT EXERCISED.  THE PARTNERSHIP  AND  THE OPERATING  PARTNERSHIP (AS
DEFINED  BELOW)  ARE   GENERALLY  REFERRED   TO  COLLECTIVELY   HEREIN  AS   THE
"PARTNERSHIP"   OR  THE  "PARTNERSHIPS,"  AND   ALL  REFERENCES  HEREIN  TO  THE
PARTNERSHIP WHEN USED WITH RESPECT  TO THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND  OPERATION
OF  THE  PROPERTIES REFER  TO  THE COMBINED  OPERATIONS  OF THE  PARTNERSHIP AND
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP.
 
                                THE PARTNERSHIP
 
GENERAL
 
    The Partnership acquires, owns and manages income-producing properties  that
it  leases on  a triple net  basis to operators  of fast food  and casual dining
restaurants, primarily  Burger  King and  other  national and  regional  brands,
including Dairy Queen, Hardee's and Chili's. The Partnership acquires properties
either  from third  party lessors or  from operators on  a sale/leaseback basis.
Under a triple net lease, the tenant is obligated to pay all costs and expenses,
including all real property taxes  and assessments, repairs and maintenance  and
insurance.  Triple net  leases do not  require substantial  reinvestments by the
property owner and,  as a  result, more  cash from  operations may  be used  for
distributions to Unitholders or for acquisitions.
 
   
    The  Partnership is one of the largest publicly-owned entities in the United
States dedicated to  acquiring, owning  and managing  restaurant properties.  At
June   11,  1996,  the  Partnership's  portfolio  consisted  of  231  restaurant
properties in 39 states (the  "Current Properties"), approximately 99% of  which
were  leased. From the Partnership's initial public offering in 1986 until March
31,  1995,  the  Partnership's  portfolio  was  limited  to  approximately   125
restaurant  properties,  all of  which  were leased  on  a triple  net  basis to
operators of Burger  King restaurants.  In May 1994,  an investor  group led  by
Robert J. Stetson and Fred H. Margolin acquired the Managing General Partner. In
March 1995, certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement were proposed by the
new  management and adopted by the  Unitholders which authorized the Partnership
to acquire additional properties, including restaurant properties not affiliated
with Burger King Corporation. Since adoption of the amendments, the  Partnership
has acquired 109 properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $57
million,  including 93 properties acquired since January 1, 1996 and has entered
into binding  agreements to  acquire 39  additional restaurant  properties  (the
"Acquisition  Properties") for an aggregate  purchase price of approximately $27
million. Upon  acquisition  of  the Acquisition  Properties,  the  Partnership's
portfolio  will  consist  of  an  aggregate  of  270  properties  in  40 states,
consisting of  170  Burger King  restaurants,  40 Dairy  Queen  restaurants,  27
Hardee's  restaurants,  11  Pizza  Hut-Registered  Trademark-  restaurants, five
Schlotzsky's-Registered Trademark- restaurants, two  Chili's restaurants and  15
other properties, most of which are regional brands.
    
 
    The  Partnership's  management  team  consists  of  senior  executives  with
extensive experience in the  acquisition, operation and  financing of fast  food
and  casual dining  restaurants. Mr. Stetson,  the President  -- Chief Executive
Officer of the Managing  General Partner is the  former President of the  Retail
Division and Chief Financial Officer of Burger King Corporation ("BKC"), as well
as the former Chief Financial Officer of Pizza Hut, Inc. As a result, management
has  an extensive network of contacts within the franchised fast food and casual
dining  restaurant  industry.  Based   on  management's  assessment  of   market
conditions  and  its knowledge  and  experience, the  Partnership  believes that
substantial  opportunities  exist  for  it  to  acquire  additional   restaurant
properties on advantageous terms.
 
    The   Partnership  is  a  Delaware   limited  partnership.  U.S.  Restaurant
Properties, Inc. (formerly named QSV  Properties Inc.), is the Managing  General
Partner  of the Partnership. The principal  executive offices of the Partnership
and the Managing General  Partner are located at  5310 Harvest Hill Road,  Suite
270,  Dallas, Texas  75230. The  telephone number  is (214)  387-1487, FAX (214)

STRATEGY
 
    Since the adoption of the amendments  to the Partnership Agreement in  March
1995,  the Partnership's  principal business  objective has  been to  expand and
diversify the Partnership's portfolio through frequent acquisitions of small  to
medium-sized  portfolios of fast  food and casual  dining restaurant properties.
The Partnership intends to achieve growth and diversification while  maintaining
low  portfolio investment risk through  adherence to proven acquisition criteria
with a conservative capital  structure. The Partnership  intends to continue  to
expand  its portfolio by acquiring triple  net leased properties and structuring
sale/leaseback transactions consistent with the following strategies:
 
    -FOCUS ON RESTAURANT PROPERTIES.  The Partnership takes advantage of  senior
     management's extensive experience in fast food and casual dining restaurant
     operations  to identify new investment opportunities and acquire restaurant
     properties satisfying  the  Partnership's investment  criteria.  Management
     believes,  based on its industry knowledge and experience, that relative to
     other  real  estate   sectors,  restaurant   properties  provide   numerous
     acquisition opportunities at attractive valuations.
 
   
    -INVEST  IN MAJOR RESTAURANT BRANDS.  The Partnership intends to continue to
     acquire properties  operated  as  major national  and  regional  restaurant
     brands,  such  as  Burger  King,  Dairy  Queen,  Hardee's  and  Chili's  by
     competent,  financially-stable  operators.  Certain  of  the  Partnership's
     Current Properties are also operated as Pizza Hut,
     KFC-Registered  Trademark- and Taco Bell-Registered Trademark- restaurants.
     Management believes, based on its  industry knowledge and experience,  that
     successful  restaurants operated under these  types of brands offer stable,
     consistent income  to  the Partnership  with  minimal risk  of  default  or
     non-renewal  of  the lease  and  franchise agreement.  As  a result  of its
     concentration on  major national  and regional  brands, in  the last  three
     fiscal  years,  of  all  rental  revenues due,  more  than  99.5%  has been
     collected.
    
 
   
    -ACQUIRE EXISTING  RESTAURANTS.   The  Partnership's  strategy is  to  focus
     primarily  on the acquisition of existing fast food and casual dining chain
     restaurant properties that have a  history of profitable operations with  a
     remaining  term on the  current lease of  at least five  years. The average
     remaining lease term for  the Current Properties  is ten years.  Management
     believes,  based on its  industry knowledge and  experience, that acquiring
     existing restaurant  properties provides  a  higher risk-adjusted  rate  of
     return to the Partnership than acquiring newly-constructed restaurants.
    
 
    -CONSOLIDATE SMALLER PORTFOLIOS.  Management believes, based on its industry
     knowledge  and  experience, that  pursuing multiple  transactions involving
     smaller  portfolios   of  restaurant   properties  (generally   having   an
     acquisition  price of  less than $3  million) results in  a more attractive
     valuation because the size of such transactions generally does not  attract
     large  institutional property owners. Smaller buyers typically are not well
     capitalized and  may be  unable to  compete for  such transactions.  Larger
     transactions   involving  multiple  properties  generally  attract  several
     institutional bidders, often resulting in a higher purchase price and lower
     investment returns to the purchaser. In certain circumstances, however, the
     Partnership has identified, evaluated and  pursued portfolios valued at  up
     to  $50  million that  present attractive  risk/return ratios  and recently
     closed a transaction of approximately $18 million, including closing costs.
 
   
    -MAINTAIN CONSERVATIVE CAPITAL STRUCTURE.   The Partnership has a policy  of
     maintaining  a ratio of total indebtedness of 50% or less to the greater of
     (i) the  market  value of  all  issued  and outstanding  Units  plus  total
     outstanding  indebtedness  ("Total  Market  Capitalization")  or  (ii)  the
     original cost of all of the Partnership's properties as of the date of such
     calculation. The Partnership's ratio of total indebtedness to Total  Market
     Capitalization was approximately 30% at June 11, 1996. See "Capitalization"
     and   "Pro  Forma  Consolidated  Financial  Statements."  The  Partnership,
     however, may from time to time  reevaluate its borrowing policies in  light
     of  then-current  economic conditions,  relative costs  of debt  and equity
     capital, market values of properties, growth and acquisition  opportunities
     and other factors.

<PAGE>
                                    INDUSTRY
 
   
    Industry sources estimate that total food service industry sales during 1995
were  approximately  $277 billion  and  that there  are  more than  100,000 free
standing fast food  and casual dining  chain restaurant locations  with a  total
current  property value of more than $100  billion, with the number of locations
and value  growing. Management  believes, based  on its  industry knowledge  and
experience,  that the  Partnership competes  with numerous  other publicly-owned
entities some of which dedicate substantially all of their assets and efforts to
acquiring, owning and  managing chain  restaurant properties.  In addition,  the
Partnership competes with numerous private firms and private individuals for the
acquisition  of restaurant properties. Management  believes that this fragmented
market provides the Partnership with substantial acquisition opportunities.
    
 
    Approximately 74%  of the  Partnership's  Current Properties  (63%  assuming
consummation  of the  Acquisition Properties)  consists of  properties leased to
operators of Burger King  restaurants. Based on publicly-available  information,
Burger  King is  the second  largest fast food  restaurant system  in the United
States  in  terms  of  system   wide  sales.  According  to   publicly-available
information,  there are approximately 6,500 Burger  King restaurant units in the
United States. With respect to the Burger King restaurants in the  Partnership's
portfolio, for the year-ended December 31, 1995, same-store sales (consisting of
the  stores included  in the portfolio  at January  1, 1994 and  at December 31,
1995) increased 7% over the prior year.
 
                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
    RECENT ACQUISITIONS:  Since January 1, 1996, the Partnership has acquired 93
restaurant properties  for  an aggregate  purchase  price of  approximately  $46
million.  The acquired properties are leased on  a triple net basis to operators
of Burger King, Dairy Queen, Taco Bell, KFC and other brand name restaurants.
 
   
    PENDING ACQUISITIONS:  At  June 11, 1996, the  Partnership had entered  into
binding  agreements to  purchase interests in  39 Acquisition  Properties for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $27 million, including the purchase of
25 Hardee's, nine Pizza Huts and  five Schlotzsky's. The Partnership intends  to
finance  the Acquisition  Properties principally by  utilizing the Partnership's
mortgage warehouse facility and the net  proceeds of this Offering. See "Use  of
Proceeds" and "Capitalization."
    
 
   
    CREDIT  FACILITIES:   The  Partnership's revolving  credit agreement  with a
syndicate of banks  was recently  increased to $40  million. At  June 11,  1996,
approximately  $3.5 million remained  available for borrowings  under the credit
agreement. A portion of the net proceeds of this Offering will be used to reduce
outstanding borrowings under  this credit  agreement by up  to $   million.  The
Partnership  also  has  a $20  million  mortgage warehouse  facility  secured by
certain Current  Properties which,  at  June 11,  1996, had  approximately  $4.2
million   available.  See  "History  and   Structure  of  the  Partnership"  and
"Capitalization."
    
 
    REIT CONVERSION:  The Partnership and its advisers are analyzing all aspects
of a conversion to a Real  Estate Investment Trust (REIT) including  feasibility
and tax effects. Assuming that the Partnership and its advisers determine that a
conversion to a REIT is in the best interests of the Partnership and its limited
partners,  the  Partnership  would  attempt to  complete  such  a  conversion by
December 31, 1997, subject to the approval of the limited partners. Even if  the
Partnership  does  not convert  to  a REIT,  the  Partnership intends  to become
self-managed and self-advised by December 31,  1997, subject to the approval  of
the limited partners. See "Business and Properties -- REIT Conversion."

- ------------------------
(1) The information for  the years ended  December 31, 1993,  1994 and 1995  was
    derived   from  the  Partnership's  audited  financial  statements  included
    elsewhere in this Prospectus.

<PAGE>
   
(2) "Cash flow from operations based upon  taxable income" is calculated as  the
    sum  of taxable income  plus charges for  depreciation and amortization. All
    leases are treated  as operating  leases for taxable  income purposes  which
    results  in a reconciling item from  "cash flows from operating activities."
    In addition, "cash flow from operations based upon taxable income" does  not
    consider  changes in  working capital  items. As  a result,  "cash flow from
    operations based  upon  taxable  income"  should not  be  considered  as  an
    alternative  to net income determined  in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles as an indication  of the Partnership's performance  or
    as  an  alternative to  cash flow  determined  in accordance  with generally
    accepted accounting principles  as a measure  of liquidity. The  Partnership
    believes  that  "cash flow  from operations  based  upon taxable  income" is
    important because taxable income flows through to the partners and it is the
    most consistent indicator of cash generated by operations and eliminates the
    fluctuations of changes in working capital items.
    
 
(3) The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income information for the
    year ended December 31, 1995 is  presented as if the following had  occurred
    as of January 1, 1995: (a) the purchase of 16 properties acquired on various
    dates  from  March  1995  through  December 1995;  (b)  the  purchase  of 93
    properties and the sale of one property completed since January 1, 1996; (c)
    the acquisition of 39 properties under binding contracts with the assumption
    of related tenant and ground leases  (all of which are treated as  operating
    leases  based  on  preliminary assessments);  (d)  additional  borrowings to
    purchase the Acquisition Properties;  and (e) the issuance  and sale by  the
    Partnership  in this Offering of 1,800,000  Units and the application of the
    net proceeds therefrom.
 
    The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income information for the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 is  presented as if the following had  occurred
    as  of  January 1,  1996: (a)  adjustments to  operations for  24 properties
    acquired during the  quarter ended  March 31, 1996  and the  purchase of  69
    properties and sale of one property since April 1, 1996; (b) the acquisition
    of  39 properties  under binding  contracts with  the assumption  of related
    tenant and ground leases (all of which are treated as operating leases based
    on preliminary  assessments);  (c)  additional borrowings  to  purchase  the
    Acquisition  Properties; and (d) the issuance and sale by the Partnership in
    this Offering of  1,800,000 Units and  the application of  the net  proceeds
    therefrom.
 
    The unaudited pro forma balance sheet data at March 31, 1996, represents the
    Partnership's  March 31, 1996 balance sheet adjusted on a pro forma basis to
    reflect as of March 31, 1996: (a) the purchase of 69 properties and the sale
    of one property since  April 1, 1996; (b)  the acquisition of 39  properties
    under  binding contracts  with the assumption  of related  tenant and ground
    leases (all of which  are treated as operating  leases based on  preliminary
    assessments);   (c)  additional  borrowings   to  purchase  the  Acquisition
    Properties; and  (d)  the issuance  and  sale  by the  Partnership  in  this
    Offering  of  1,800,000  Units  and  the  application  of  the  net proceeds
    therefrom.
 
    The unaudited pro forma  income statement and  balance sheet information  is
    not  necessarily indicative  of what  the actual  financial position  of the
    Partnership would have been at March 31, 1996 or what the actual results  of
    operations  of the Partnership for  the quarter ended March  31, 1996 or the
    year ended December 31, 1995 would  have been had all of these  transactions
    occurred  and does not purport to represent the future financial position or
    results of operations of the Partnership.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
    IN  ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS AND INCORPORATED BY
REFERENCE HEREIN,  THE  FOLLOWING  FACTORS SHOULD  BE  CAREFULLY  CONSIDERED  BY
PERSONS CONTEMPLATING AN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITS OFFERED HEREBY.
 
ACQUISITION AND EXPANSION RISKS
 
   
    FAILURE  TO  ACQUIRE  ACQUISITION  PROPERTIES.    As  of  the  date  of this
Prospectus, the  Partnership  had  39 properties  under  binding  agreements  of
acquisition.   In  connection  with  the   execution  of  such  agreements,  the
Partnership  made  deposits   of  approximately   $.6  million   which  may   be
non-refundable  in whole or in part if  the Partnership elects not to close some
or all of such acquisitions.  In addition, if some  or all of such  acquisitions
are  not closed, the Partnership  may have proceeds from  the Offering without a
designated use and there can be no  assurance that the Partnership will be  able
to   locate  additional  restaurant  properties   that  meet  the  Partnership's
acquisition criteria.
    
 
   
    RISK OF  REFINANCING EXISTING  INDEBTEDNESS.   Currently, the  Partnership's
borrowings  do not  have long-term maturities  and as a  result, the Partnership
will be required  to refinance such  borrowings prior to  the maturities of  the
lease terms of its properties. Refinancing will depend upon the creditworthiness
of  the Partnership and the availability of financing under market conditions at
the time such  refinancing is  required. Such refinancing  of the  Partnership's
borrowings  could result in  higher interest costs  and adversely affect results
from operations. The granting of liens on its restaurant properties may preclude
the Partnership from subsequently  borrowing against such restaurant  properties
and  distributing such loan proceeds to the Unitholders. Payment of the interest
on, or  amortization of,  any such  indebtedness could  also decrease  the  cash
distributable  to  the  Unitholders if  the  financing  and other  costs  of the
expanded business strategy exceed any incremental revenue generated.
    
 
    RISK OF LEVERAGE.   In  order to  fund the  Partnership's expanded  business
strategy,  the Partnership  may borrow funds  and grant liens  on its restaurant
properties to secure such indebtedness. If the Partnership were unable to  repay
or   otherwise  default  in  respect  of  any  indebtedness,  the  Partnership's
properties could become subject to foreclosure, with possible adverse income tax
consequences to  the  Unitholders,  such  as  allocations  of  capital  gain  or
discharge  of indebtedness income  without any cash  distributions from which to
pay the  related  income  tax  liability. The  Partnership  Agreement  does  not
restrict  the amount of  such indebtedness, and the  extent of the Partnership's
indebtedness from  time  to time  may  affect  its interest  costs,  results  of
operations,  and  its  ability to  respond  to future  business  adversities and
changing economic  conditions. The  Partnership  has implemented  a  non-binding
policy  to maintain a ratio of total indebtedness  of 50% or less to the greater
of Total Market Capitalization or the original cost of all of the  Partnership's
properties  as of the date  of such calculation. Because  it is anticipated that
the Partnership will not fix all of its interest costs for the long term, future
changes in interest rates may positively or negatively affect the Partnership.
 
    RISK OF MANAGING  EXPANDED PORTFOLIO.   At March 31,  1995, the  Partnership
owned and managed less than 125 restaurant properties. The Partnership's Current
Properties consist of 231 restaurant properties. As a result of the rapid growth
of  the Partnership's portfolio and the anticipated additional growth, there can
be  no  assurance  that  management  will  be  able  to  adapt  its  management,
administrative,  accounting  and operational  systems to  respond to  the growth
represented by the  Acquisition Properties  or any future  growth. In  addition,
there  can be  no assurance that  the Partnership  will be able  to maintain its
current rate  of  growth or  negotiate  and acquire  any  acceptable  restaurant
properties  in the  future. A  larger portfolio  of restaurant  properties could
entail additional operating expenses that  would be payable by the  Partnership.
Such acquisitions may also require loans to prospective tenants. Making loans to
existing    or   prospective   tenants   involves   credit   risks   and   could
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
subject the Partnership to regulation under various federal and state laws.  Any
operation  of  restaurants, even  on an  interim basis,  would also  subject the
Partnership to operating risks (such as uncertainties associated with labor  and
food costs), which may be significant. See "Business and Properties."
 
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
   
    The  Partnership Agreement provides  that the Partnership  pays one-time and
continuing fees  to the  Managing  General Partner  with respect  to  additional
properties   purchased  regardless  of  whether  the  Partnership  receives  the
contemplated revenue from such additional properties or whether the  Partnership
makes  any  cash  distributions to  the  Unitholders after  such  properties are
purchased. This creates an incentive for  the Managing General Partner to  cause
the  Partnership  to  purchase  more properties,  pay  higher  prices,  and sell
existing properties or use more leverage to make such purchases. The sale of any
of the restaurant properties acquired  from BKC in 1986  (122 at June 11,  1996)
would  not reduce  the management  fee for  existing properties,  while new fees
would benefit the Managing General Partner incrementally with each purchase. The
Managing General  Partner,  however, does  not  presently intend  to  cause  the
Partnership to sell a significant number of its Current Properties. In addition,
the  Partnership  Agreement provides  the Managing  General  Partner with  a fee
providing a percentage  participation above a  threshold in the  cash flow  from
newly-purchased  properties.  Moreover,  the  Managing  General  Partner  is not
restricted from  acquiring for  its own  account properties  of the  type to  be
purchased  by the Partnership.  See "Business and Properties  -- Payments to the
Managing General Partner."
    
 
   
    In addition, the Partnership Agreement does not restrict the ability of  the
Managing  General  Partner  or  its  principals  from  owning  and/or  operating
restaurants on  Partnership  properties or  elsewhere.  At June  11,  1996,  the
Managing  General  Partner  owned  90% of  Arkansas  Restaurants  #10  L.P., the
operator  of  three  Burger  King  franchises  on  properties  leased  from  the
Partnership.  The Managing General Partner or  its principals may acquire future
operating restaurants on  Partnership properties, including  in connection  with
the  Acquisition Properties. Financing  may also be provided  on an arm's length
basis by the Partnership to consummate the acquisition of operating  restaurants
by the Managing General Partner, its principals or others.
    
 
INVESTMENT CONCENTRATION IN SINGLE INDUSTRY
 
    The  Partnership's current  strategy is  to acquire  interests in restaurant
properties, specifically fast food and casual dining restaurant properties. As a
result, a  downturn in  the fast  food or  casual dining  segment could  have  a
material  adverse effect on the Partnership's  total rental revenues and amounts
available for distribution to its  Unitholders. See "Business and Properties  --
The Properties."
 
DEPENDENCE ON SUCCESS OF BURGER KING
 
    Of  the Partnership's Current  Properties, 170 are  occupied by operators of
Burger King  restaurants.  In  addition,  the  Partnership  intends  to  acquire
additional  Burger King properties.  As a result, the  Partnership is subject to
the risks inherent in investments concentrated in a single franchise brand, such
as a reduction in business following  adverse publicity related to the brand  or
if  the Burger  King restaurant  chain (and  its franchisees)  were to  suffer a
system-wide  decrease  in  sales,  the  ability  of  franchisees  to  pay  rents
(including  percentage rents) to the Partnership  may be adversely affected. See
"Business and  Properties  -- Strategy"  and  "Business and  Properties  --  The
Properties."
 
POSSIBLE RENT DEFAULTS AND FAILURE TO RENEW LEASES AND FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS
 
   
    The  Partnership's  Current Properties  are  leased to  restaurant franchise
operators pursuant to leases with remaining  terms varying from one to 28  years
at June 11, 1996 and an average remaining term of ten years. No assurance can be
given   that  such   leases  will   be  renewed   at  the   end  of   the  lease
    
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
terms or  that the  Partnership will  be  able to  renegotiate terms  which  are
acceptable to the Partnership. The Partnership has attempted to extend the terms
of certain of its existing leases pursuant to an "Early Renewal Program," but in
connection  therewith has  had to commit  to paying for  certain improvements on
such properties. See "Business and Properties -- The Properties."
 
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
 
    GENERAL RISKS.  The Partnership's investments in real estate are subject  to
varying  degrees  of  risk  inherent  in the  ownership  of  real  property. The
underlying value of the Partnership's real estate and the income therefrom  and,
consequently,   the  ability  of  the   Partnership  to  make  distributions  to
Unitholders are  dependent  upon  the operators  of  the  restaurant  properties
generating  income  in  excess  of  operating expenses  in  order  to  make rent
payments. Income from  the properties may  be adversely affected  by changes  in
national  economic conditions, changes in local market conditions due to changes
in general  or  local  economic  conditions  and  neighborhood  characteristics,
changes  in  interest rates  and the  availability, cost  and terms  of mortgage
funds, the impact of compliance with  present or future environmental laws,  the
ongoing  need  for  capital improvements,  particularly  for  older restaurants,
increases in  operating  expenses, adverse  changes  in governmental  rules  and
fiscal  policies,  civil unrest,  acts  of God  (which  may result  in uninsured
losses), acts of war, adverse changes  in zoning laws, and other factors  beyond
the Partnership's control.
 
    ILLIQUIDITY OF REAL ESTATE MAY LIMIT ITS VALUE.  Real estate investments are
relatively  illiquid. The  ability of the  Partnership to vary  its portfolio in
response to changes in  economic and other conditions  is limited. No  assurance
can  be given that the market value  of any of the Partnership's properties will
not decrease in the  future. If the Partnership  must sell an investment,  there
can  be no assurance  that the Partnership  will be able  to dispose of  it in a
desirable time period or that the sales  price will recoup or exceed the  amount
of the Partnership investment.
 
    POSSIBLE  LIABILITY  THAT  COULD  RESULT FROM  ENVIRONMENTAL  MATTERS.   The
Partnership's operating costs may be affected  by the obligation to pay for  the
cost  of complying with existing environmental laws, ordinances and regulations,
as well  as  the cost  of  compliance  with future  legislation.  Under  current
federal,  state  and local  environmental  laws, ordinances  and  regulations, a
current or previous owner  or operator of  real property may  be liable for  the
costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in
such  property. Such  laws often  impose liability whether  or not  the owner or
operator knew of,  or was  responsible for, the  presence of  such hazardous  or
toxic  substances. In addition, the presence  of contamination from hazardous or
toxic substances,  or  the  failure  to  remediate  such  contaminated  property
properly,  may adversely affect the ability of  the owner of the property to use
such property as collateral for a  loan or to sell such property.  Environmental
laws  also may impose restrictions on the manner in which a property may be used
or transferred or in which businesses  may be operated, and may impose  remedial
or  compliance  costs. The  costs of  defending against  claims of  liability or
remediating contaminated property and the  cost of complying with  environmental
laws  could materially adversely affect  the Partnership's results of operations
and financial condition.
 
    In connection with the  Partnership's acquisition of a  property, a Phase  I
environmental  assessment  is  obtained.  A  Phase  I  environmental  assessment
involves researching  historical  usages  of a  property,  databases  containing
registered  underground  storage tanks  and other  matters including  an on-site
inspection to determine whether  an environmental issue  exists with respect  to
the  property  which  needs  to  be  addressed. If  the  results  of  a  Phase I
environmental assessment reveal  potential issues, a  Phase II assessment  which
may  include  soil  testing,  ground  water  monitoring  or  borings  to  locate
underground storage tanks, is ordered for further evaluation and, depending upon
the  results  of  such  assessment,  the  transaction  is  consummated  or   the
acquisition is terminated.
 
    AMERICANS  WITH DISABILITIES ACT.  The  Americans with Disabilities Act (the
"ADA") generally requires that all public accommodations, including restaurants,
comply with certain federal requirements relating to physical access and use  by
persons  with physical disabilities. A determination that the Partnership or one
of the Partnership's properties is not  in compliance with the ADA could  result
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
in  the imposition of fines, injunctive  relief, damages or attorney's fees. The
Partnership's  leases  contemplate   that  compliance  with   the  ADA  is   the
responsibility  of the operator. While  the Partnership believes that compliance
with the ADA can  be accomplished without undue  costs, the costs of  compliance
may  be substantial and may adversely impact  the ability of such lessees to pay
rentals to the Partnership. In addition, a determination that the Partnership is
not in compliance with  the ADA could  result in the imposition  of fines or  an
award of damages to private litigants.
 
    UNINSURED  AND  UNDERINSURED  LOSSES  COULD  RESULT  IN  LOSS  OF  VALUE  OF
FACILITIES.   The Partnership  requires its  lessees to  maintain  comprehensive
insurance  on each  of the  properties, including  liability, fire  and extended
coverage and the Partnership is an additional named insured under such policies.
Management  believes  such  specified  coverage  is  of  the  type  and   amount
customarily obtained for or by an owner on real property assets. The Partnership
intends  to  require lessees  of subsequently  acquired property,  including the
Acquisition Properties, to obtain similar insurance coverage. However, there are
certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes
and floods, that may be uninsurable  or not economically insurable, as to  which
the   Partnership's  properties  (including  the   Current  Properties  and  the
Acquisition Properties) are at risk depending on whether such events occur  with
any  frequency  in  such areas.  In  addition,  because of  coverage  limits and
deductibles, insurance coverage in  the event of a  substantial loss may not  be
sufficient  to pay the full current market  value or current replacement cost of
the  Partnership's  investment.  Inflation,   changes  in  building  codes   and
ordinances,  environmental considerations, and other  factors also might make it
infeasible to use  insurance proceeds to  replace a facility  after it has  been
damaged  or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds received
by the Partnership might not be  adequate to restore its economic position  with
respect to such property.
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
    The  Partnership's  continued  success  is dependent  upon  the  efforts and
abilities of its key executive officers. In particular, the loss of the services
of either Robert J. Stetson  or Fred H. Margolin  could have a material  adverse
effect  on the Partnership's operations and its ability to effectuate its growth
strategy. There  can be  no assurance  that  the Partnership  would be  able  to
recruit  or  hire  any  additional  personnel  with  equivalent  experience  and
contacts. The Partnership does  not own key-man life  insurance on the lives  of
Mr. Stetson or Mr. Margolin. See "Management."
 
COMPETITION
 
    ACQUISITIONS.     Numerous   entities  and  individuals   compete  with  the
Partnership to  acquire  triple  net  leased  restaurant  properties,  including
entities   which  have  substantially  greater   financial  resources  than  the
Partnership. These entities and individuals may be able to accept more risk than
the Partnership is willing  to undertake. Competition  generally may reduce  the
number of suitable investment opportunities available to the Partnership and may
increase  the bargaining power of property owners  seeking to sell. There can be
no assurance  that  the  Partnership  will find  attractive  triple  net  leased
properties or sale/leaseback transactions in the future.
 
   
    OPERATIONS.    The restaurants  operated on  the  properties are  subject to
significant competition (including competition from other national and  regional
fast   food  restaurant   chains)  including  Burger   King  restaurants,  local
restaurants, restaurants  owned  by BKC  or  affiliated entities,  national  and
regional  restaurant chains that  do not specialize  in fast food  but appeal to
many of the same customers, and other competitors such as convenience stores and
supermarkets that  sell prepared  and  ready-to-eat foods.  The success  of  the
Partnership  depends, in part, on the ability of the restaurants operated on the
properties to compete  successfully with such  businesses. The Partnership  does
not  intend to  engage directly  in the  operation of  restaurants. However, the
Partnership would operate restaurants located  on its properties if required  to
do  so  in order  to  protect the  Partnership's  investment. As  a  result, the
Partnership generally will be dependent upon  the experience and ability of  the
lessees  operating the restaurants located on  the properties. See "Business and
Properties -- Strategy" and "Business and Properties -- Industry."
    
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
DEVELOPMENT RISKS
 
    The Partnership  may pursue  certain restaurant  property developments.  New
project developments are subject to numerous risks including construction delays
or   costs  that  may  exceed  budgeted   or  contracted  amounts,  new  project
commencement risks  such as  receipt  of zoning,  occupancy and  other  required
governmental  approvals and permits  and the incurrence  of development costs in
connection with  projects  that are  not  pursued to  completion.  In  addition,
development involves the risk that developed properties will not produce desired
revenue  levels once  leased, the risk  of competition  for suitable development
sites from  competitors which  may  have greater  financial resources  than  the
Partnership,  and the risk  that debt or  equity financing are  not available on
acceptable terms. There can  be no assurance  that development activities  might
not  be  curtailed  or,  if  consummated will  perform  in  accordance  with the
Partnership's expectations and distributions  to Unitholders might be  adversely
affected.
 
RISK OF NEWLY-CONSTRUCTED RESTAURANT PROPERTIES
 
    The  Partnership may pursue the  acquisition of newly-constructed restaurant
properties that do not  have operating histories.  For example, the  Partnership
recently  entered  into a  binding agreement  to acquire  five newly-constructed
restaurant  properties  that  are  leased  to  operators  of  Schlotzsky's.  The
acquisition  of newly-constructed restaurant properties involves numerous risks,
including the risk that newly-constructed restaurant properties will not produce
desired  revenue  levels  (and,  therefore,  lease  rentals)  once  opened.  See
"Business   and  Properties  --  Strategy"   and  "Business  and  Properties  --
Regulation."
 
RELIANCE ON MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER
 
    Unitholders will have no right  or power to take  part in the management  of
the  Partnership  except  through  the  exercise  of  voting  rights  on certain
specified matters. The Partnership  will rely on the  services and expertise  of
the Managing General Partner for strategic business direction. See "Business and
Properties -- General," "Business and Properties -- Strategy" and "Management."
 
POTENTIAL DILUTION FROM UNITS AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
    In  March 1995, the Unitholders authorized the grant to the Managing General
Partner of options to  purchase 400,000 Units at  $15.50 per Unit. Such  options
are  currently fully  exercisable. The  sale to  the public  of additional Units
owned or that may  be acquired by the  Managing General Partner could  adversely
affect  the trading price  of the Units.  Each of the  Managing General Partner,
Robert J.  Stetson, Fred  H. Margolin,  Darrell Rolph,  David Rolph,  Gerald  H.
Graham and Eugene G. Taper has executed a lock-up agreement under which each has
agreed  not to sell any of  its or his Units for a  period of 180 days after the
date of the Offering.
 
POTENTIAL PAYMENTS FOR CERTAIN UNIT PRICE GUARANTEES
 
   
    During 1995, the Partnership  acquired three properties  in part for  54,167
Units.  As a term of the acquisition, the Partnership agreed that, if the market
price for the  Units was less  than $24 per  Unit on October  10, 1998, and  the
Units had not been sold prior to that date for a price at least equal to $24 per
Unit,  the Partnership would pay such  Unitholder the difference in cash between
$24 and the average closing price for  the 20 trading days preceding such  date.
In  connection with  the acquisition of  15 properties in  1996, the Partnership
issued 327,836 Units and agreed  that, as a term  of those acquisitions, if  the
market  price for the Units was  less than $23 per Unit  (as to 28,261 Units) on
January 23, 1999 or $24 per Unit (as to 299,575 Units) on January 25, 1998,  and
the Units had not been sold prior to that date for a price at least equal to $23
or  $24 per Unit, respectively, the Partnership would pay the difference between
$23 or $24, respectively, and the average closing price for the 20 trading  days
preceding such date by the issuance of additional Units.
    
 
ADVERSE EFFECT OF INCREASES IN INTEREST RATES
 
    One  of the factors that may influence the  market price of the Units is the
annual yield from distributions made by the Partnership on the Units as compared
to yields on certain financial
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
instruments. Thus, a general increase in market interests rates could result  in
higher  yields on certain financial instruments which could adversely affect the
market price for the  Units, since alternative investment  vehicles may be  more
attractive.
 
TAX RISKS
 
    There  are numerous federal  and state income  tax considerations associated
with  acquiring,  owning  and  disposing  of  Units.  See  "Federal  Income  Tax
Considerations" and "State and Other Taxes."
 
    POTENTIAL  LOSS OF PARTNERSHIP STATUS.   The availability to a Unitholder of
the federal income tax benefits of  an investment in the Partnership depends  in
large part on the classification of the Partnerships as partnerships for federal
income  tax purposes. Based upon certain representations of the Managing General
Partner, Middleberg, Riddle & Gianna,  counsel to the Partnership, has  rendered
its  opinion that  under current law  and regulations, the  Partnerships will be
classified as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. However, the opinion
of counsel is not binding on the IRS. Neither Partnership satisfies requirements
to obtain an advance ruling  from the IRS, and, as  a result, no advance  ruling
from the IRS as to such status has been or will be requested. If the IRS were to
challenge  the federal income tax status of  the Partnerships or the amount of a
Unitholder's allocable share of the Partnership's taxable income, such challenge
could result  in  an  audit  of  the  Unitholder's  entire  tax  return  and  in
adjustments  to items  on that  return that  are unrelated  to the  ownership of
Units. In addition, each Unitholder would bear the cost of any expenses incurred
in connection with an examination of his personal tax return.
 
    Middleberg, Riddle &  Gianna's opinion is  based on the  assumption that  at
least  90%  of  the  Partnership's  gross  income  for  each  taxable  year will
constitute either (i)  real property  rents, (ii) gain  from the  sale or  other
disposition  of  real  property, or  (iii)  other qualifying  income  within the
meaning of Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and the further assumption that  the Managing General Partner will  act
independently of and not as an agent for the Unitholders.
 
   
    If  either  Partnership  were taxable  as  a  corporation or  treated  as an
association taxable as  a corporation in  any taxable year,  its income,  gains,
losses,  deductions and credits would be reflected only on its tax return rather
than being passed through to its partners, and its taxable income would be taxed
at corporate rates. In addition, its distributions to each of its partners would
be treated as  dividend income  (to the extent  of its  current and  accumulated
earnings  and  profits), and,  in  the absence  of  earnings and  profits,  as a
nontaxable return of capital (to the extent  of such partner's tax basis in  his
interest therein), or as taxable capital gain (after such partner's tax basis in
his  interest therein is reduced to  zero). Furthermore, losses realized by such
Partnership would not flow through to the Unitholders. Accordingly, treatment of
either Partnership  as  a corporation  for  federal income  tax  purposes  would
probably  result  in  a  material  reduction in  a  Unitholder's  cash  flow and
after-tax return. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Partnership Status."
    
 
    LIMITED DEDUCTIBILITY  OF  PARTNERSHIP  LOSSES.   Losses  generated  by  the
Partnership,  if any, will be  available to Unitholders that  are subject to the
passive activity loss  limitations of  Section 469 of  the Code  to offset  only
future  income generated by the Partnership and  cannot be used to offset income
to a  Unitholder from  other  passive activities  or  investments or  any  other
source.  Losses  from the  Partnership that  are not  deductible because  of the
passive loss limitations may be deducted when the Unitholder disposes of all  of
his  Units in a fully  taxable transaction with an  unrelated party. Net passive
income from the  Partnership may  be offset  only by  a Unitholder's  investment
interest expense and by unused Partnership losses carried over from prior years.
See  "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Tax Consequences of Unit Ownership --
Limitations on the Deductibility of Losses."
 
    RISK OF  CHALLENGE  TO PARTNERSHIP  ALLOCATIONS.   Certain  aspects  of  the
allocations   contained  in   the  Partnership   Agreement  may   be  challenged
successfully by the IRS. If an allocation contained in the Partnership Agreement
is not given  effect for  federal income tax  purposes, items  of income,  gain,
loss,
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
deduction  or credit  will be  reallocated to  the Unitholders  and the Managing
General Partner in  accordance with  their respective interests  in such  items,
based upon all the relevant facts and circumstances. Such reallocation among the
Unitholders  and the  Managing General  Partner of  such items  of income, gain,
loss, deduction or credit allocated under the Partnership Agreement could result
in  additional  taxable  income  to   the  Unitholders.  Such  reallocation   of
Partnership  items also could affect the uniformity of the intrinsic federal tax
characteristics  of  the  Units.  See  "Federal  Income  Tax  Considerations  --
Allocation of Partnership Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction."
 
    POSSIBLE   UNSUITABILITY  OF   UNITS  FOR   TAX-EXEMPT  ENTITIES,  REGULATED
INVESTMENT COMPANIES AND FOREIGN INVESTORS.   An investment in Units may not  be
suitable  for tax-exempt  entities, regulated  investment companies  and foreign
investors. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Tax Treatment of Operations
- -- Tax-Exempt Entities, Regulated Investment Companies and Foreign Investors."
 
    RISK  OF  TAX  LIABILITY  EXCEEDING  CASH  DISTRIBUTIONS  OR  PROCEEDS  FROM
DISPOSITIONS  OF  UNITS. Because  the Partnership  is not  a taxable  entity and
incurs no federal  income tax liability,  a Unitholder will  be required to  pay
federal  income tax and, in  certain cases, state and  local income taxes on his
allocable share of  the Partnership's income,  whether or not  he receives  cash
distributions  from the Partnership. There can  be no assurance that Unitholders
will receive cash distributions equal to their allocable share of taxable income
from the Partnership. Further,  upon the sale or  other disposition of Units,  a
Unitholder  may incur tax liability in excess of the amount of cash received. To
the extent that a Unitholder's tax  liability exceeds the amount distributed  to
him  or the amount he receives on the sale or other disposition of his Units, he
will incur an out-of-pocket expense.  See "Federal Income Tax Considerations  --
Tax Consequences of Unit Ownership."
 
ADDITIONAL DILUTION RISKS
 
    The  Partnership  Agreement permits  the Partnership  to issue  an unlimited
number of additional Units at such  prices or for such consideration,  including
real  property, as  may be  determined by  the Managing  General Partner  in its
discretion, without the approval of  the Unitholders. Depending upon the  amount
of  consideration that the Partnership receives  for any additional Units or the
rents generated  by the  restaurant properties  purchased, such  issuance  could
dilute  the value of  the outstanding Units. The  Partnership's ability to issue
additional Units  for  property,  moreover,  may  be  restricted  by  applicable
securities laws.
 
    Under  certain circumstances, the  Managing General Partner  may require the
Partnership to register  under applicable securities  laws the Managing  General
Partner's transfer of Units that it owns or may acquire. The availability to the
public of additional Units because of such a registration could adversely affect
the  trading price  of the  Units. The issuance  of additional  Units would also
cause the  Partnership to  incur  additional administrative  and  record-keeping
costs, which may be significant.

                    HISTORY AND STRUCTURE OF THE PARTNERSHIP
 
    The  Partnership, formerly Burger King Investors  Master L.P., was formed in
1985 by BKC and  QSV Properties Inc.  ("QSV"), both of which  were at that  time
wholly-owned  subsidiaries of The Pillsbury  Company ("Pillsbury"). QSV acted as
the managing  general partner  of the  Partnership. BKC  was a  special  general
partner of the Partnership until its withdrawal on November 30, 1994.
 
    The Partnership effected an initial public offering in 1986 and the proceeds
therefrom were used to buy the Partnership's initial portfolio of 128 properties
from  BKC. From 1986  through March 1995,  the Partnership's limited partnership
agreement limited the  activities of  the Partnership to  managing the  original
portfolio of properties.
 
    In  May  1994,  an investor  group  led by  Robert  J. Stetson  and  Fred H.
Margolin, acquired QSV and later changed its name to U.S. Restaurant Properties,
Inc.  In  March  1995,  the  Unitholders  approved  certain  amendments  to  the
Partnership's limited partnership agreement that permit the Partnership to incur
debt,  to  acquire additional  properties,  including restaurant  properties not
affiliated with BKC.
 
    The Partnership operates through  U.S. Restaurant Properties Operating  L.P.
(the   "Operating   Partnership"),  formerly   Burger  King   Operating  Limited
Partnership, which holds the interests in the properties. Through its  ownership
of  all  of the  limited  partner interests  in  the Operating  Partnership, the
Partnership owns a 99.01% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The
Partnerships (defined below) are Delaware  limited partnerships and continue  in
existence until December 31, 2035, unless sooner dissolved or terminated.
 
   
    U.S.  Restaurant  Properties Business  Trust #1,  a Delaware  Business Trust
("Business Trust"), was organized in 1996 to obtain permanent financing for  the
Partnership  which  would be  secured by  certain  of the  Partnership's Current
Properties and Acquisition Properties.  At June 11,  1996, the Business  Trust's
portfolio consisted of 42 properties. See "Capitalization."

    The  following  table  sets  forth  the  historical  capitalization  of  the
Partnership  at March  31, 1996, and  as adjusted on  a pro forma  basis to give
effect to (i) the issuance  and sale of the  1,800,000 Units offered hereby  and
the  application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use

(3) Consists of a revolving credit agreement from a syndicate of banks for up to
    $40  million which is secured by the Partnership's real estate including its
    leasehold interests. Subsequent to  March 31, 1996,  a $20 million  mortgage
    warehouse  facility has been  entered into by the  Business Trust and Morgan
    Keegan Mortgage Company, Inc.,  which is secured by  certain of the  Current
    Properties.  At  June 11,  1996, the  amounts  borrowed under  the revolving
    credit agreement  and the  mortgage  warehouse facility  were  approximately
    $36.5  million and approximately  $15.8 million, respectively.  A portion of
    the net proceeds of the Offering will be used to reduce the borrowings under
    the $40  million  revolving  credit  facility  and  the  mortgage  warehouse
    facility. See "Use of Proceeds."

    On June 11, 1996, the last reported sales price of the Units was $24 1/8  as
reported  in  NYSE Composite  Transactions. At  May 22,  1996, there  were 1,850
Unitholders of record in the Partnership.
    
 
    In July 1995, the  Partnership announced its intention  to repurchase up  to
300,000  Units, because at  the time management believed  that the repurchase of
the Units  represented a  good  investment value  for  the Partnership  and  the
Unitholders.  Through March 31, 1996, the Partnership purchased 30,000 Units. No
further repurchases  have  been  made or  are  currently  contemplated,  because
management currently believes that a better investment value for the Partnership
and the Unitholders is the acquisition of additional restaurant properties.
 
   
    The Partnership intends to maximize the cash available for distributions and
enhance  Unitholder  value  by  acquiring  or  developing  additional restaurant
properties that meet its investment  criteria and by participating in  increased
revenue  from restaurant properties through percentage leases. See "Business and
Properties -- Strategy."  In connection  therewith, the  Partnership intends  to
make  regular  quarterly  distributions  to its  Unitholders.  Currently,  on an
annualized basis,  the distribution  is  $1.88 per  Unit. The  Managing  General
Partner  has declared a distribution of $0.47  per Unit for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996, payable on June 13, 1996, to Unitholders of record on June 6, 1996.
Purchasers of  Units  offered  hereby  will not  be  entitled  to  receive  such
quarterly distribution.
    
 
    Management  intends  to distribute  from 75%  to 95%  of the  estimated cash
available for  distribution within  the general  objective of  continued  annual
growth   in  the  distributions.  The   Partnership  expects  to  maintain  such
distribution rate  for  the foreseeable  future  based upon  actual  results  of
operations,   financial  condition  of   the  Partnership,  capital  expenditure
requirements,  or  other  factors  management  deems  relevant.  However,   such
distribution   rate  may  vary  depending   on  future  market  conditions,  the
Partnership's financial condition and the Managing General Partner's  perception
of operating cash needed by the Partnership to fund operations.
 
    The  amounts distributed representing a return of capital were $.75 per Unit
in 1991, $1.03 per Unit in  1992, $.52 per Unit in  1993, $.52 per Unit in  1994
and $.59 per Unit in 1995.

(1)  "Cash  flow from operations based upon taxable income" is calculated as the

     results in a reconciling item from "cash flows from operating  activities."
     In addition, "cash flow from operations based upon taxable income" does not
     consider  changes in  working capital items.  As a result,  "cash flow from

     as  an alternative  to cash  flow determined  in accordance  with generally
     accepted accounting principles as a  measure of liquidity. The  Partnership
     believes  that "cash  flow from  operations based  upon taxable  income" is
     important because taxable income  flows through to the  partners and it  is
     the   most  consistent  indicator  of  cash  generated  by  operations  and
     eliminates the fluctuations of changes in working capital items.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
OVERVIEW
 
    The Partnership derives its  revenue from the  leasing of the  Partnership's
restaurant  properties to operators  on a "triple  net" basis, which  is a lease
that imposes  on  the  tenant  all  obligations  for  real  property  taxes  and
assessments,  repairs and maintenance and insurance.  To the extent the landlord
retains any of these responsibilities, the lease becomes less than "triple net."
 
    The Partnership's leases provide  for a base rent  plus a percentage of  the
restaurant's  sales in excess of a threshold amount. Total restaurant sales, the
primary determinant of the Partnership's revenues, are a function of the  number
of   restaurants  in  operation  and  their  performance.  Sales  at  individual
restaurants are  influenced  by  local  market conditions,  by  the  efforts  of
specific restaurant operators, by marketing, by new product programs, support by
the franchisor, and by the general state of the economy.
 
   
    Some  of the  leases of the  Partnership's properties are  treated as direct
financing leases,  rather  than  operating leases,  for  purposes  of  generally
accepted  accounting principles ("GAAP");  however, the leases  do not grant the
lessees thereunder the right to acquire the properties at the expiration of such
leases. As a result,  the lease is  reflected as an  asset on the  Partnership's
balance  sheet as net investment in  direct financing leases, and the underlying
depreciable real property is not considered an asset of the Partnership for GAAP
purposes.  Accordingly,  the  related  depreciation  is  not  reflected  on  the
Partnership's  income statement; instead, there is  a charge for amortization of
the investment in direct financing leases. For tax accounting purposes, however,
the depreciable real property is treated as being owned by the Partnership  (and
not  a  direct  financing lease)  and  the  related charge  for  depreciation is
reflected  on  the  Partnership's  income  statement.  Primarily  due  to   this
treatment, GAAP revenue and net income differ from gross rental receipts and net
income,  as determined for tax purposes. The reconciliation between the GAAP and
tax treatment  of these  leases is  described  in Note  9 to  the  Partnership's
audited  Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes that most if not
all acquisitions made by the Partnership since March 1995, as well as all future
acquisitions and related leases, will  qualify as operating leases according  to
GAAP  and, therefore, were not recorded as  a net investment in direct financing
leases.
    
 
    The following  discussion  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  "Selected
Financial  Information" and  all of the  financial statements  and notes thereto
included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1995
 
    For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, rental revenues increased 39% over the
same period for the previous year.  Comparable store sales growth (the  increase
in  sales at those restaurants open for  the entire reporting period in both the
current period  and the  same period  for  the prior  year) was  4%.  Management
believes  the growth  reflects improvements  in the  overall performance  of the
Burger King system  and efforts by  BKC with selected  tenants to improve  their
restaurant's sales.
 
   
    General  and administrative expenses in  1996 remained constant, as compared
to the same quarter in  1995. An increase in the  management fee of $59,663  for
the  quarter and expenses that  directly correspond to the  active growth of the
Partnership in the  first quarter  of 1996  were offset  by non-recurring  costs
relating  to  the  proxy in  the  first  quarter of  1995.  Depreciation expense
increased 59% which  related to  the property acquisitions  as well  as the  22%
increase  in ground lease expense. There was  an increase in interest expense of
$314,131 due to the financing of acquisitions.
    
 
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
    The number of restaurants owned at December 31, 1995 was 139 compared to 123
at December 31,  1994, a  13% increase. Total  sales in  restaurants located  on
Partnership  real  estate  in  1995 was  $135,297,000  compared  to $122,315,000
reported in 1994, a  10.6% increase, which was  attributable to the increase  in
the  number of restaurants  in the portfolio  and to an  increase in the average
sales per store.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
    The Partnership's  total  revenues in  1995  increased 11.2%  to  $9,780,000
compared  to $8,793,000 recorded in 1994.  Rental revenues from properties owned
throughout 1994  and  1995 increased  6.4%  in  1995 over  1994.  The  remaining
increase  in revenues in  1995 over 1994  was attributable to  the 16 properties
acquired on various dates during the last half of 1995.
 
    Expenses for 1995  increased 18%  to $4,557,000 compared  to $3,860,000  for
1994  (including a write down of $11,000 in 1994 which was related to one closed
property). This increase in  expenses was primarily due  to the increase in  the
number  of restaurant properties owned by  the Partnership and related financing
costs.
 
    Ground rent expense increased 4.3% to $1,405,380, compared to $1,347,748 for
1994. The increase in expense was due  to the addition of six new ground  leases
relating  to  the 1995  acquisitions and  nominal  rent escalations  on existing
ground leases.  Depreciation  and  amortization increased  13.2%  to  $1,540,900
compared  to $1,361,136 for 1994. This was  primarily due to the increase in the
number of restaurant properties owned by the Partnership.
 
   
    Taxes and general and administrative  expenses increased 24% to  $1,419,279,
compared to $1,143,956 for 1994. This increase was due to increased professional
fees,  consulting fees, and  other various general  administration expenses that
relate directly to the increased activity of the Partnership.
    
 
    Interest expense (income),  net increased to  $192,142 compared to  ($3,515)
for 1994. This increase is primarily due to the financing of acquisitions.
 
    There  were no write downs of assets and intangible values related to closed
properties during 1995, as  compared to write downs  for 1994 of $11,000.  Write
downs  are  not a  normal  part of  the  Partnership's business.  However, store
closings  do   occur   periodically   in  retail   businesses,   including   the
Partnership's. Management does not believe that there is an established trend in
its  business  with  respect to  store  closings  because virtually  all  of the
restaurants included within the Current  Properties are currently performing  on
their leases and are not in default.
 
   
    Net  income allocable  to Unitholders  in 1995  was $5,119,000  or $1.10 per
Unit, up 5.8% or $0.06 per Unit from $4,834,000 or $1.04 per Unit in 1994.  This
was  attributable to the increase in  total revenues and management's ability to
limit expenses.
    
 
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
 
    The number of restaurants owned at December 31, 1994 and 1993 was 123. Total
sales in restaurants located on Partnership real estate in 1994 was $122,315,000
compared  to  $112,880,000  reported  in  1993,  an  8.4%  increase,  which  was
attributable to an increase in the average sales per store.
 
    The  Partnership's  total  revenues  in 1994  increased  5.5%  to $8,793,000
compared to $8,332,000 recorded  in 1993. The Partnership  owned and leased  123
sites throughout 1993 and 1994.
 
    Expenses  excluding  the provision  for write  down  of properties  for 1994
increased 3.2% to  $3,849,000 compared to  $3,730,000 for 1993.  Write downs  of
assets  and  intangible values  related to  closed  properties during  1994 were
$11,000 as compared to write  downs for 1993 of $73,739.  Write downs are not  a
normal  part of  the Partnership's  business. However,  store closings  do occur
periodically in retail businesses, including the Partnership's. Management  does
not  believe that there is an established  trend in its business with respect to
store closings  because virtually  all of  the restaurants  included within  the
Current  Properties  are currently  performing on  their leases  and are  not in
default.
 
    Net income allocable  to Unitholders  in 1994  was $4,834,000  or $1.04  per
Unit,  up 8.3% from $4,437,000 or $0.96  per Unit in 1993. This was attributable
to increased total revenues while expenses remained relatively constant.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
   
    The Partnership's principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements  is
rental revenues generated by the Partnership's properties. Cash generated by the
portfolio  in excess  of operating needs  is used to  reduce amounts outstanding
under the Partnership's credit agreements. As a result, amounts are drawn  under
the  Partnership's credit agreements to cover payment of quarterly distributions
to the Unitholders. Currently, the  Partnership's primary source of funding  for
acquisitions  is its  existing revolving  line of  credit and  its Morgan Keegan
Mortgage Company, Inc. mortgage warehouse facility. The Partnership  anticipates
meeting  its future long-term capital needs through the incurrence of additional
debt or  the  issuance of  additional  Units,  along with  cash  generated  from
internal operations.
    
 
   
    The  Partnership currently has approximately $36.5 million outstanding under
its $40 million line of credit with  a syndicate of banks. After application  of
the net proceeds from the Offering, approximately $    million will be available
for  borrowings under the line of credit. This  line of credit is secured by the
Partnership's real estate including its leasehold interests. The Partnership may
request advances  under  this line  of  credit  to finance  the  acquisition  of
restaurant  properties,  to  repair  and update  restaurant  properties  and for
working capital. The  banks will also  issue standby letters  of credit for  the
account  of  the Partnership  under this  loan  facility. This  credit agreement
expires on June 27, 1998 and  provides that borrowings thereunder bear  interest
at  180 basis  points over the  London Interbank Offered  Rate (LIBOR). Interest
expense for 1995 was $199,000. The  Partnership also has a $20 million  mortgage
warehouse  facility from Morgan Keegan Mortgage  Company, Inc., which is secured
by certain  of  the Partnership's  Current  Properties.  As of  June  11,  1996,
approximately  $4.2  million remained  available  for borrowings.  This facility
expires on November  30, 1996, and  borrowings thereunder bear  interest at  the
rate  of 300 basis points over LIBOR.  The proceeds from this facility were used
to finance  the  acquisition  and proposed  acquisition  of  various  restaurant
properties  owned  by the  Business  Trust. See  "History  and Structure  of the
Partnership." The Partnership  intends to repay  borrowings under this  facility
using  any availability under  its existing line of  credit after application of
the net  proceeds  of  this  Offering or  additional  borrowings  which  may  be
subsequently incurred.
    
 
   
    Pursuant  to  the Partnership  Agreement,  the Managing  General  Partner is
required to  make  available to  the  Partnership an  unsecured,  interest-free,
revolving  line of  credit in  the principal amount  of $500,000  to provide the
Partnership with  necessary  working  capital  to  minimize  or  avoid  seasonal
fluctuation  in the amount of quarterly cash distributions. The Managing General
Partner is not required, however, to make financing available under this line of
credit before the Partnership obtains other financing, whether for acquisitions,
reinvestment, working capital  or otherwise.  The Managing  General Partner  may
make  other loans to the Partnership. Each loan must bear interest at a rate not
to exceed the Morgan Guaranty  Trust Company of New York  prime rate plus 1%  or
the  highest lawful rate (whichever is less), and  in no event may any such loan
be made on terms and conditions less favorable to the Partnership than it  could
obtain  from  unaffiliated  third parties  or  banks  for the  same  purpose. To
management's  knowledge,  no  loans  have  ever  been  made  pursuant  to  these
arrangements  and no loans were  made or outstanding at  any time during each of
the three years ended December 31, 1995.
    
 
   
    The Partnership  paid  distributions  in  1995  of  $1.69  per  Unit,  which
represented  95% of  cash flow  from operations  based upon  taxable income. The
Partnership paid distributions for the first  quarter of 1996 of $.44 per  Unit.
Management intends to distribute from 75% to 95% of the estimated cash generated
from  operations within the general objective  of continued annual growth in the
distributions. The Partnership  expects to maintain  such distribution rate  for
the  foreseeable future based  upon actual results  of operations, the financial
condition  of  the  Partnership,  capital  or  other  factors  management  deems
relevant. During 1995, the Partnership distributed an aggregate of $8,002,000 to
its partners.

<PAGE>
INFLATION
 
   
    Some of the Partnership's leases are subject to adjustments for increases in
the  Consumer Price  Index, which  reduces the  risk to  the Partnership  of the
adverse effects of  inflation. Additionally, to  the extent inflation  increases
sales  volume, percentage rents may  tend to offset the  effects of inflation on
the Partnership. Because triple net leases also require the restaurant operators
to pay for some or all  operating expenses, property taxes, property repair  and
maintenance costs and insurance, some or all of the inflationary impact of these
expenses will be borne by the restaurant operators and not by the Partnership.
    
 
    Operators  of restaurants,  in general, possess  the ability  to adjust menu
prices quickly. However, competitive pressures may limit a restaurant operator's
ability to raise prices in the face of inflation.
 
SEASONALITY
 
    Fast food restaurant operations historically  have been seasonal in  nature,
reflecting  higher unit sales during the second and third quarters due to warmer
weather and increased leisure travel. This seasonality can be expected to  cause
fluctuations  in  the  Partnership's quarterly  unit  revenue to  the  extent it
receives percentage rent.

                            BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
 
GENERAL
 
    The Partnership acquires, owns and manages income-producing properties  that
it  leases on  a triple net  basis to operators  of fast food  and casual dining
restaurants, primarily Burger King (the  second largest restaurant chain in  the
United  States in terms of  system wide sales), and  other national and regional
brands including Dairy  Queen, Hardee's  and Chili's.  The Partnership  acquires
properties either from third party lessors or from operators on a sale/leaseback
basis.  Under a triple net  lease, the tenant is obligated  to pay all costs and
expenses, including  all  real  property  taxes  and  assessments,  repairs  and
maintenance  and  insurance.  Triple  net  leases  do  not  require  substantial
reinvestments by the property owner and, as a result, more cash from  operations
may be used for distributions to Unitholders or for acquisitions.
 
   
    The  Partnership is one of the largest publicly-owned entities in the United
States dedicated to  acquiring, owning  and managing  restaurant properties.  At
June   11,  1996,  the  Partnership's  portfolio  consisted  of  231  restaurant
properties in 39 states (the  "Current Properties"), approximately 99% of  which
were  leased. From the Partnership's initial public offering in 1986 until March
31, 1995,  the  Partnership's  properties  were  limited  to  approximately  125
restaurant  properties,  all of  which  were leased  on  a triple  net  basis to
operators of Burger  King restaurants. In  May, 1994, an  investor group led  by
Robert J. Stetson and Fred H. Margolin acquired the Managing General Partner. In
March 1995, certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement were proposed by the
new management and approved by the Unitholders, which authorized the Partnership
to  acquire  additional restaurant  properties  not affiliated  with  BKC. Since
adoption of the amendments, the Partnership  has acquired 109 properties for  an
aggregate  purchase price of  approximately $57 million  including 93 properties
acquired since  January 1,  1996, and  has entered  into binding  agreements  to
acquire 39 additional properties (the "Acquisition Properties") for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $27 million. Upon acquisition of the Acquisition
Properties,  the Partnership's  portfolio will  consist of  an aggregate  of 270
properties in 40  states consisting  of 170  Burger King  restaurants, 40  Dairy
Queen  restaurants,  27 Hardee's  restaurants,  11 Pizza  Hut  restaurants, five
Schlotzsky's restaurants, two Chili's restaurants and 15 other properties,  most
of which are regional brands.
    
 
    The  Partnership's  management  team  consists  of  senior  executives  with
extensive experience in the  acquisition, operation and  financing of fast  food
and  casual dining  restaurants. Mr.  Stetson, the  President -  Chief Executive
Officer of the Managing  General Partner is the  former President of the  Retail
Division  and  Chief Financial  Officer  of BKC,  as  well as  the  former Chief
Financial Officer of Pizza  Hut, Inc. As a  result, management has an  extensive
network of contacts within the franchised fast food and casual dining restaurant
industry. Based on management's assessment of market conditions and its industry
knowledge   and   experience,   the   Partnership   believes   that  substantial
opportunities exist  for it  to acquire  additional properties  on  advantageous
terms.
 
INDUSTRY
 
   
    The  restaurant industry has grown significantly over the past 20 years as a
result of population  growth, the  influence of  the baby  boom generation,  the
growth  of two-income families  and the growth  in consumers' disposable income.
The total  food  service industry  sales  during  1995 have  been  estimated  at
approximately  $277 billion. The  fast food segment,  which offers value pricing
and convenience,  is  the  largest  segment  in  the  restaurant  industry  with
projected  1996 sales of  $100 billion. In 1995,  industry sources estimate that
fast food restaurants  accounted for  71% of  total restaurant  traffic, 52%  of
chain restaurant locations and 47% of consumers' restaurant dollars spent.
    
 
    The  growth  of the  fast  food segments  has  exceeded that  of  the entire
restaurant industry for over 20 years. According to industry sources, fast  food
restaurant  sales have  grown at  a 6.9% compound  annual growth  rate with 1995
sales up 7.1% over 1994 levels,  and fast food restaurant sales are  anticipated
to  grow  6.7% in  1996  to over  $100  billion. Additionally,  industry sources
suggest that in the fast food industry, operators are increasingly moving toward
leasing rather than owning their
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
restaurants.  Currently,  approximately  two-thirds  of  fast  food   restaurant
operators  lease  their  restaurant  properties.  Leasing  enables  a restaurant
operator to  reallocate funds  to the  improvement of  current restaurants,  the
acquisition of additional restaurants or other uses.
 
   
    Management  believes, based on  its industry knowledge  and experience, that
the Partnership competes  with numerous other  publicly-owned entities, some  of
which  dedicate  substantially all  of their  assets  and efforts  to acquiring,
owning and managing chain restaurant  properties. The Partnership also  competes
with  numerous  private firms  and private  individuals  for the  acquisition of
restaurant properties. In addition, there  are a number of other  publicly-owned
entities  that are dedicated to acquiring,  owning and managing triple net lease
properties. A majority of  chain restaurant properties  are owned by  restaurant
operators  and real estate investors. Management believes, based on its industry
knowledge and experiences that this  fragmented market provides the  Partnership
with  substantial acquisition  opportunities. Management also  believes that the
inability of most small restaurant owners to obtain funds with which to  compete
for  acquisitions as  timely and inexpensively  as the  Partnership provides the
Partnership with a competitive  advantage when seeking  to acquire a  restaurant
property.
    
 
    In  addition to  the Partnership's  large number  of leases  to operators of
Burger  King  restaurants,  the  Partnership  also  leases  multiple  restaurant
properties  to operators of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Hardee's and Dairy Queen brand
names, substantially all of  which, according to industry  sources, rank in  the
top  15 with  respect to restaurant  sales in 1995.  Based on publicly-available
information, Burger King is  the second largest fast  food restaurant system  in
the  world  in  terms  of system  wide  sales.  According  to publicly-available
information, there are approximately 6,500  Burger King restaurant units in  the
United  States. With respect to the Burger King restaurants in the Partnership's
portfolio, for the year-ended December  31, 1995, same-store sales increased  7%
over the prior year.
 
STRATEGY
 
    Since  the adoption of the amendments  to the Partnership Agreement in March
1995, the  Partnership's principal  business objective  has been  to expand  and
diversify  the Partnership's portfolio through frequent acquisitions of small to
medium-sized portfolios of  fast food and  casual dining restaurant  properties.
The  Partnership intends to achieve growth and diversification while maintaining
low portfolio investment risk through  adherence to proven acquisition  criteria
with  a  conservative  capital structure.  The  Partnership has  and  intends to
continue to expand its portfolio by  acquiring triple net leased properties  and
structuring   sale/leaseback   transactions   consistent   with   the  following
strategies:
 
    -FOCUS ON RESTAURANT PROPERTIES. The  Partnership takes advantage of  senior
     management's extensive experience in fast food and casual dining restaurant
     operations  to identify new investment opportunities and acquire restaurant
     properties satisfying  the  Partnership's investment  criteria.  Management
     believes,  based on its industry knowledge and experience, that relative to
     other  real  estate   sectors,  restaurant   properties  provide   numerous
     acquisition opportunities at attractive yields.
 
   
    -INVEST  IN MAJOR RESTAURANT BRANDS. The  Partnership intends to continue to
     acquire properties  operated  as  major national  and  regional  restaurant
     brands,  such  as  Burger  King,  Dairy  Queen,  Hardee's  and  Chili's  by
     competent, financially  stable franchisees.  Certain of  the  Partnership's
     Current  Properties  are also  operated  as Pizza  Hut,  KFC and  Taco Bell
     restaurants. Management  believes,  based  on its  industry  knowledge  and
     experience,  that successful restaurants operated  under these brands offer
     stable, consistent income to the  Partnership with minimal risk of  default
     or  non-renewal of the  lease and franchise  agreement. As a  result of its
     concentration on  major national  and regional  brands, in  the last  three
     fiscal  years,  of  all  rental  revenues due,  more  than  99.5%  has been
     collected.
    
 
    -ACQUIRE EXISTING  RESTAURANTS.  The  Partnership's  strategy  is  to  focus
     primarily  on the acquisition of existing fast food and casual dining chain
     restaurants that have a history of profitable
 
                                       29
<PAGE>
     operations with a  remaining term  on the current  lease of  at least  five
     years.  The average remaining lease term for the Current Properties is nine
     years. Management believes, based on its industry knowledge and experience,
     that acquiring existing restaurants provides a higher risk-adjusted rate of
     return to the Partnership than acquiring newly-constructed restaurants.
 
    -CONSOLIDATE SMALLER PORTFOLIOS. Management believes, based on its  industry
     knowledge  and  experience, that  pursuing multiple  transactions involving
     smaller  portfolios   of  restaurant   properties  (generally   having   an
     acquisition  price of  less than  $3 million)  result in  a more attractive
     valuation because the size of such transactions generally does not  attract
     large  institutional property owners  and smaller buyers  typically are not
     well capitalized  and  may be  unable  to complete  a  transaction.  Larger
     transactions   involving  multiple  properties  generally  attract  several
     institutional bidders, often resulting in a higher purchase price and lower
     investment returns to the purchaser. In certain circumstances, however, the
     Partnership has identified, evaluated and  pursued portfolios valued at  up
     to  $50  million that  present attractive  risk/return ratios  and recently
     closed a transaction of approximately $18 million.
 
   
    -MAINTAIN  CONSERVATIVE  CAPITAL  STRUCTURE.  The  Partnership  intends   to
     maintain a ratio of total indebtedness of 50% or less to the greater of (i)
     the market value of all issued and outstanding Units plus total outstanding
     indebtedness  ("Total Market Capitalization") or  (ii) the original cost of
     all of the Partnership's properties as of the date of such calculation. The
     Partnership's ratio of  total indebtedness to  Total Market  Capitalization
     was   approximately  30%  at  June  11,  1996.  See  "Capitalization."  The
     Partnership, however,  may  from  time to  time  reevaluate  its  borrowing
     policies  in light of  then-current economic conditions,  relative costs of
     debt  and  equity  capital,  market   values  of  properties,  growth   and
     acquisition opportunities and other factors.
    
 
INVESTMENT CRITERIA
 
    The  Partnership has recently acquired  93 restaurant properties and intends
to acquire additional restaurant properties  of national and regional fast  food
or  casual dining restaurant chains, which may include Burger King, that satisfy
some or all of the following criteria:
 
    -The rent on such restaurant properties  has produced cash flow that,  after
     deducting  management  fees  and  interest and  debt  amortization  or Unit
     issuance, would improve the Partnership's existing cash flow per Unit.
 
    -The  restaurants'  annual  sales  would  be  in  the  highest  70%  of  the
     restaurants in that chain.
 
    -The  restaurants  would have  historically  generated at  least  the normal
     profit for  restaurants in  that  chain and  be  projected to  continue  to
     generate a profit even if sales decreased by 10%.
 
    -The  restaurant properties  would be located  where the  average per capita
     income was stable or increasing.
 
    -The restaurants'  franchisees  would  possess  significant  net  worth  and
     preferably operate multiple restaurants.
 
    -The restaurant properties would be in good repair and operating condition.
 
    The Managing General Partner receives acquisition proposals from a number of
sources.  The  Managing General  Partner  utilizes two  independent  real estate
professionals who assist  the Partnership  in examining  and analyzing  proposed
acquisitions  of property. These professionals  are compensated principally upon
the Partnership's  closing  of an  acquisition  of  property. There  can  be  no
assurance  that the Managing General Partner will be able to identify restaurant
properties that satisfy all or a significant number of such criteria, or that if
identified, the Partnership will be able to purchase such restaurant properties.
 
    The  Partnership  believes  that  the  Partnership  can  generate   improved
operating  results  as  a result  of  the acquisition  of  additional restaurant
properties and by making loans to tenants for
 
                                       30
<PAGE>
renovation and  improvement  of the  Current  Properties. The  Partnership  also
believes  that  expansion and  diversification  of the  Partnership's restaurant
property portfolio to include more balance among restaurant brands decreases the
Partnership's dependence on one chain.
 
THE PROPERTIES
 
   
    At June 11, 1996, the Current Properties consisted of 231 properties, 99% of
which were leased by  operators of fast food  and casual dining restaurants.  In
addition,  at such date the Acquisition Properties (totaling 39) were subject to
binding agreements of acquisition. Set  forth below are summary descriptions  of
the Current Properties and Acquisition Properties.
    
 
   
    BURGER  KING  PROPERTIES.   At  June  11,  1996, the  Partnership  owned 170
properties operated  as  Burger King  restaurants.  The Burger  King  restaurant
properties  that are part of the Current Properties are operated by more than 80
operators, the largest of which operates five Burger King restaurants.
    
 
   
    HARDEE'S PROPERTIES.  At June 11, 1996, the Partnership owned two properties
in Georgia and has entered into  agreements to acquire 25 additional  properties
in  Georgia and  South Carolina operated  as Hardee's  restaurants. The Hardee's
restaurant properties that are  part of the Current  Properties are operated  by
two operators, the larger of which operates 23 Hardee's restaurants.
    
 
   
    DAIRY  QUEEN  PROPERTIES.    At  June 11,  1996,  the  Partnership  owned 40
properties operated as Dairy  Queen restaurants, all in  Texas. The Dairy  Queen
restaurant properties are operated by two operators.
    
 
   
    CHILI'S  PROPERTIES.  At June 11, 1996, the Partnership owned two properties
in Texas which are operated by a single operator.
    
 
   
    OTHER PROPERTIES.   At June 11,  1996, the Partnership  owned 31  additional
properties,  most of which were operated under other major national and regional
brand names, including, but not  limited to, Pizza Hut,  KFC and Taco Bell.  The
Partnership may, from time to time, acquire restaurant properties operated under
brand  names  less-established  than  major national  and  regional  brands. The
Partnership does not intend to acquire a significant number of such properties.

LEASES WITH RESTAURANT OPERATORS
 
   
    The  Partnership's strategy  is to  acquire operating  restaurant properties
rather than developing  new properties.  Typically, the  Partnership acquires  a
property  that has been operated as a  fast food or casual dining restaurant and
which is  subject to  a lease  with  a remaining  term of  five-20 years  and  a
co-terminous  franchise agreement. Management believes, based on its experience,
that this strategy reduces the Partnership's financial risk since the restaurant
operated on such property has a proven operating record which mitigates the risk
of default  or  non-renewal under  the  lease. At  June  11, 1996,  the  Current
Properties have remaining lease terms ranging from one to 28 years.
    
 
   
    Substantially  all of  the Partnership's  existing leases  are "triple net,"
which means  that  the  tenant is  obligated  to  pay all  costs  and  expenses,
including  all real property taxes and  assessments, repairs and maintenance and
insurance. The Partnership's leases provide for a base rent plus a percentage of
the restaurant's sales  in excess of  a threshold amount.  The triple net  lease
structure  is designed  to provide the  Partnership with a  consistent stream of
income without the obligation  to reinvest in the  property. For the year  ended
December   31,  1995,  base  rental  revenues  and  percentage  rental  revenues
represented  66%  and  34%,  respectively,  of  total  gross  rental   revenues.
Management intends to renew and restructure leases to increase the percentage of
total  rental  revenues derived  from  base rental  revenues  and, consequently,
decrease the percentage of  total revenues from  percentage rental revenues.  In
addition,  in  order to  encourage  the early  renewal  of existing  leases, the
Partnership has offered certain lessees remodeling  grants of up to $30,000.  To
date, the Partnership has renewed 18 leases early under this program. Management
considers  the grants to be  prudent given the increased  sales resulting at the
remodeled restaurants and the  lower costs incurred because  of the early  lease
renewals.
    
 
    The  Partnership generally acquires  properties from third  party lessors or
from operators in a sale/ leaseback transaction in which the operator sells  the
property  to the  Partnership and  enters into  a long-term  lease (typically 20
years). A sale/leaseback transaction  is attractive to  the operator because  it
allows  the operator  to realize  the value of  the real  estate while retaining
occupancy for  a  long  term.  A sale/leaseback  transaction  may  also  provide
specific accounting, earnings and market value benefits to the selling operator.
For  example, the lease  on the property may  be structured by  the tenant as an
off-balance  sheet  operating  lease,   consistent  with  Financial   Accounting
Standards Board rules, which may increase the operator's earnings, net worth and
borrowing capacity. The following table sets forth certain information regarding
lease expirations for Current Properties and Acquisition Properties.

OWNERSHIP OF REAL ESTATE INTERESTS
 
   
    The Partnership's Current Properties  and Acquisition Properties consist  of
190  properties  where the  Partnership owns  both the  land and  the restaurant
building  in  fee  simple  (the  "Fee  Properties"),  one  property  where   the
Partnership  owns only the land  and the building is owned  by the tenant and 79
properties where the  Partnership leases  the land,  the building  or both  (the
"Leasehold Properties") under leases from third-party lessors.
    
 
   
    Of  the  79  Leasehold  Properties,  14  are  Primary  Leases,  whereby  the
Partnership leases  from  a  third  party  both  the  underlying  land  and  the
restaurant  building and the  other improvements thereon  and then subleases the
property to  the  restaurant operator.  Under  the  terms of  the  remaining  65
Leasehold   Properties  (the  "Ground  Leases"),   the  Partnership  leases  the
underlying land from  a third  party and owns  the restaurant  building and  the
other  improvements  constructed  thereon.  In  any  event,  upon  expiration or
termination of a Primary Lease or Ground Lease, the owner of the underlying land
generally will become the owner of the building and all improvements thereon. At
June 11,  1996, the  remaining terms  of the  Primary Leases  and Ground  Leases
ranged from one to 21 years. With renewal options exercised, the remaining terms
of  the Primary Leases  and Ground Leases  ranged from approximately  five to 35
years and the average remaining term was 21 years.
    
 
    The terms and conditions  of each Primary Lease  and each Ground Lease  vary
substantially.  However, each Primary  Lease and each  Ground Lease have certain
provisions in common including that  (i) the initial term  is 20 years or  less,
(ii)  the rentals payable are stated amounts that may escalate over the terms of
the Primary Leases and Ground Leases (and/or during renewal terms) but  normally
(although  not  always)  are  not  based  upon  a  percentage  of  sales  of the
restaurants thereon, and (iii) the Partnership is required to pay all taxes  and
operating,  maintenance, and insurance expenses for the Leasehold Properties. In
addition, under substantially all of the  Leases, the Partnership may renew  the
term one or more times at its option (although the provisions governing any such
renewal  vary significantly in that, for example,  some renewal options are at a
fixed rental  amount, while  others are  at fair  rental value  at the  time  of
renewal). Several Primary Leases and Ground Leases also give the owner the right
to  require  the Partnership,  upon the  termination  or expiration  thereof, to
remove all improvements situated on the property.
 
    Although the  Partnership, as  lessee under  each Primary  Lease and  Ground
Lease,  generally  has the  right  to assign  or sublet  all  of its  rights and
interests thereunder without obtaining  the landlord's consent, the  Partnership
is  not permitted to  assign or sublet any  of its rights  or interests under 22
Primary Leases and  Ground Leases  without obtaining the  landlord's consent  or
satisfying  certain  other conditions.  In  addition, approximately  20%  of the
Primary Leases and Ground Leases require  the Partnership to use such  Leasehold
Properties only for the purpose of operating a Burger King restaurant or another
type  of  restaurant  thereon.  In  any  event,  no  transfer  will  release the
Partnership from any of its obligations under the Primary Lease or Ground Lease,
including the obligation to pay rent.
 
    Of the Current Properties,  70 are leased or  subleased to a BKC  franchisee
under a Lease/ Sublease, pursuant to which the franchisee is required to operate
a  Burger  King restaurant  thereon in  accordance  with the  lessee's Franchise
Agreement and  to  make no  other  use thereof.  Upon  its acquisition  of  such
properties,  the Partnership assumed the rights and obligations of BKC under the
Leases/Subleases. Five properties are  leased to BKC  on substantially the  same
terms  and conditions  as those contained  in the Lease/Sublease  with the prior
lessees.
 
    Although the provisions of BKC's standard form of lease to franchisees  have
changed  over time, the material provisions of the Lease/Subleases generally are
substantially similar to  BKC's current standard  form of lease  (except to  the
extent  BKC  has  granted  rent  reductions or  deferrals  or  made  other lease
modifications in order to  alleviate or lessen the  impact of business or  other
economic  problems that a franchisee may have encountered). The Leases/Subleases
generally provide  for a  term of  20  years from  the date  of opening  of  the
Restaurant  and do not grant the lessee any renewal options or purchase options.
The Partnership,  however,  is  required  under  the  Partnership  Agreement  to
 
                                       34
<PAGE>
   
renew  a  Lease/Sublease  if  BKC  renews  or  extends  the  lessee's Franchisee
Agreement. The  Partnership  believes  BKC's  policy generally  is  to  renew  a
Franchise Agreement if BKC determines, in its sole discretion, that economic and
other  factors justify renewal  or extension and if  the franchisee has complied
with all  obligations under  the  Franchise Agreement.  At  June 11,  1996,  the
remaining  terms of all the Leases/Subleases ranged from approximately one to 25
years, and the average remaining term was nine years.
    
 
USE AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS ON THE OPERATION AND TRANSFER OF BURGER KING
RESTAURANT PROPERTIES
 
    The Partnership was originally  formed for the purpose  of acquiring all  of
BKC's  interests in the original portfolio and leasing or subleasing them to BKC
franchisees under the Leases/Subleases.  Accordingly, the Partnership  Agreement
contains  provisions that state, except as  expressly permitted by BKC, that the
Partnership may not use such properties for any purpose other than to operate  a
Burger  King restaurant. In  furtherance thereof, the  Partnership Agreement (i)
requires the Partnership, in certain specified circumstances, to renew or extend
a Lease/Sublease and enter into a new  lease with another franchisee of BKC,  to
approve   an  assignment  of  a  Lease/Sublease,  to  permit  BKC  to  assume  a
Lease/Sublease at  any time,  and to  renew a  Primary Lease,  and (ii)  imposes
certain  restrictions and  limitations upon  the Partnership's  ability to sell,
lease, or otherwise transfer  any interest in  such properties. The  Partnership
Agreement  requires the  Partnership to  provide BKC  notice of  default under a
Lease/Sublease and an  opportunity to  cure such  defaults prior  to taking  any
remedial  action. The Partnership Agreement  also requires the Partnership under
certain circumstances to provide tenants with assistance with remodeling  costs.
Such  terms with respect  to such properties  imposed on the  Partnership by the
Partnership Agreement  may  be less  favorable  than those  imposed  upon  other
lessors  of Burger  King restaurants.  BKC has  advised the  Partnership that it
intends to waive or not impose  certain of the restrictive provisions  contained
in  the Partnership Agreement  and the Partnership  is discussing BKC's position
with BKC to clarify such provisions.
 
RESTAURANT ALTERATIONS AND RECONSTRUCTION
 
   
    It is important that the Current Properties be improved, expanded,  rebuilt,
or  replaced from  time to  time. In addition  to normal  maintenance and repair
requirements, each franchisee  is required under  BKC's Franchise Agreement  and
Lease/Sublease,  at its  own cost  and expense,  to make  such alterations  to a
Burger King restaurant as may be reasonably required by BKC from time to time in
order to modify  the appearance of  the restaurant to  reflect the then  current
image  requirements for Burger King restaurants.  Most of the Current Properties
that are operating as Burger Kings are  15 to 20 years old, and the  Partnership
believes  that  many of  these  properties require  substantial  improvements to
maximize sales, and  the condition of  many of these  properties is below  BKC's
current image requirements.
    
 
   
    Recently,   in   order  to   encourage   the  early   renewal   of  existing
Leases/Subleases, the  Partnership has  established an  "Early Renewal  Program"
whereby  the  Partnership has  offered  to certain  tenants  the right  to renew
existing Leases/Subleases for up to an additional 20 years in consideration  for
remodeling  grants for  the properties  of up  to $30,000.  As a  result of this
Program,  to  date,  the  Partnership  has  extended  the  lease  term  for   18
Leases/Subleases.  The purpose of this Program is to extend the term of existing
Leases/Subleases prior to the end of the lease term and to enhance the value  of
the underlying property to the Partnership.
    
 
COMPETITION
 
    The  restaurants  operated  on  the properties  are  subject  to significant
competition (including competition  from other national  and regional fast  food
restaurant   chains,  including  Burger  King  restaurants,  local  restaurants,
restaurants  owned  by  BKC  or  affiliated  entities,  national  and   regional
restaurant  chains that do not specialize in fast food but appeal to many of the
same  customers,  and   other  competitors  such   as  convenience  stores   and
supermarkets  that  sell prepared  and ready-to-eat  foods.  The success  of the
Partnership depends, in part, on the ability of the restaurants operated on  the
properties  to compete successfully  with such businesses.  The Partnership does
not anticipate that it will seek to engage directly in or meet such competition.
Instead, the Partnership will be dependent
 
                                       35
<PAGE>
upon the experience and ability of the lessees operating the restaurants located
on the properties and the particular franchise system generally to compete  with
these  other restaurants and  similar operations. The  Partnership believes that
the ability of its lessees to compete  is affected by their compliance with  the
image requirements at their restaurants.
 
   
    Management  believes, based on  its industry knowledge  and experience, that
the Partnership competes  with numerous other  publicly-owned entities, some  of
which  dedicate substantially all  of their assets and  efforts to acquiring and
managing properties  operated as  fast  food or  casual dining  restaurants.  In
addition,  the  Partnership competes  with  numerous private  firms  and private
individuals, for the  acquisition of restaurant  properties. Such investors  may
have greater financial resources than the Partnership.
    
 
REGULATION
 
    The  Partnership, through  its ownership of  interests in  and management of
real estate, is  subject to  various environmental, health,  land-use and  other
regulation  by federal, state and local governments that affects the development
and regulation of  restaurant properties.  The Partnership's  leases impose  the
primary  obligation for regulatory compliance on the operators of the restaurant
properties.
 
    ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION.   Under  various federal,  state and  local  laws,
ordinances  and regulations,  an owner or  operator of real  property may become
liable for the costs of removal  or remediation of certain hazardous  substances
released on or within its property. Such liability may be imposed without regard
to whether the owner or operator knew of, or caused the release of the hazardous
substances.  In  addition  to  liability  for  cleanup  costs,  the  presence of
hazardous substances  on  a property  could  result  in the  owner  or  operator
incurring  liability as a result of a claim by an employee or another person for
personal injury or a claim by an adjacent property owner for property damage.
 
    In connection with the Partnership's acquisition of a new property, a  Phase
I  environmental  assessment is  obtained.  A Phase  I  environmental assessment
involves researching  historical  usages  of a  property,  databases  containing
registered  underground  storage tanks  and other  matters including  an on-site
inspection to determine whether  an environmental issue  exists with respect  to
the  property  which  needs  to  be  addressed. If  the  results  of  a  Phase I
environmental assessment reveal  potential issues, a  Phase II assessment  which
may  include  soil  testing,  ground  water  monitoring  or  borings  to  locate
underground storage tanks, is ordered for further evaluation and, depending upon
the  results  of  such  assessment,  the  transaction  is  consummated  or   the
acquisition is terminated.
 
    The Partnership is not currently a party to any litigation or administrative
proceeding   with  respect  to  any  property's  compliance  with  environmental
standards. Furthermore, the Partnership is not  aware of nor does it  anticipate
any  such action,  or the need  to expend any  of its funds,  in the foreseeable
future in connection  with its  operations or ownership  of existing  properties
which would have a material adverse effect upon the Company.
 
   
    AMERICANS  WITH  DISABILITIES  ACT  ("ADA").    Under  the  ADA,  all public
accommodations, including  restaurants, are  required  to meet  certain  federal
requirements  relating  to  physical  access  and  use  by  disabled  persons. A
determination that the Partnership  or a property of  the Partnership is not  in
compliance  with the  ADA could  result in  the imposition  of fines, injunctive
relief, damages or  attorney's fees. The  Partnership's leases contemplate  that
compliance  with the ADA is the  responsibility of the operator. The Partnership
is not currently  a party to  any litigation or  administrative proceeding  with
respect  to a  claim of violation  of the ADA  and does not  anticipate any such
action or  proceeding  that  would  have a  material  adverse  effect  upon  the
Partnership.
    
 
    LAND-USE; FIRE AND SAFETY REGULATIONS.  In addition, the Partnership and its
restaurant  operators are required to operate  the properties in compliance with
various laws, land-use  regulations, fire  and safety  regulations and  building
codes   as   may   be  applicable   or   later  adopted   by   the  governmental
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
body or agency  having jurisdiction  over the location  or the  property or  the
matter  being  regulated. The  Partnership  does not  believe  that the  cost of
compliance with such regulations  and laws will have  a material adverse  effect
upon the Partnership.
 
    HEALTH  REGULATIONS.  The  restaurant industry is regulated  by a variety of
state and local departments and agencies,  concerned with the health and  safety
of  restaurant customers. These regulations vary by restaurant location and type
(i.e., fast  food  or  casual  dining). The  Partnership's  leases  provide  for
compliance   by  the  restaurant  operator   with  all  health  regulations  and
inspections and require that the  restaurant operator obtain insurance to  cover
liability  for violation of such regulations or the interruption of business due
to closure caused by failure to comply with such regulations. The Partnership is
not currently  a  party to  any  litigation or  administrative  proceeding  with
respect  to the compliance with health  regulations of any property it finances,
and does not anticipate any such action or proceeding that would have a material
adverse effect upon the Partnership.
 
INSURANCE
 
    The Partnership  requires its  lessees  to maintain  adequate  comprehensive
liability,  fire,  flood  and  extended  loss  insurance  provided  by reputable
companies with commercially reasonable and customary deductibles and limits  and
the  Partnership is  an additional  named insured  under such  policies. Certain
types and amounts  of insurance are  required to be  carried by each  restaurant
operator  under the  leases with  the Partnership  and the  Partnership actively
monitors tenant compliance  with this  requirement. The  Partnership intends  to
require  lessees of  subsequently acquired  property, including  the Acquisition
Properties, to obtain  similar insurance coverage.  There are, however,  certain
types  of losses  generally of  a catastrophic  nature, such  as earthquakes and
floods, that may  be either  uninsurable or  not economically  insurable, as  to
which  the Partnership's  properties (including  the Current  Properties and the
Acquisition Properties) are at risk depending on whether such events occur  with
any  frequency in such  areas. An uninsured loss  could result in  a loss to the
Partnership of  both its  capital investment  and anticipated  profits from  the
affected  property.  In addition,  because of  coverage limits  and deductibles,
insurance coverage in the event of a  substantial loss may not be sufficient  to
pay   the  full  current  market  value  or  current  replacement  cost  of  the
Partnership's investment. Inflation, changes  in building codes and  ordinances,
environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it infeasible to
use  insurance  proceeds to  replace a  facility  after it  has been  damaged or
destroyed. Under  such circumstances,  the insurance  proceeds received  by  the
Partnership  might not be adequate to restore its economic position with respect
to such property.
 
PAYMENTS TO THE MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER
 
    The Partnership  pays the  Managing General  Partner a  non-accountable  (no
support  is required for  payment) annual allowance designed  to cover the costs
that the Managing General  Partner incurs in connection  with the management  of
the  Partnership and the Properties (other than reimbursements for out-of-pocket
expenses paid to third parties). The  allowance is adjusted annually to  reflect
any  cumulative increases in the Consumer Price Index occurring after January 1,
1986, and was $585,445 for  the year ended December  31, 1995. The allowance  is
paid quarterly, in arrears.
 
   
    In  addition, to compensate the Managing General Partner for its efforts and
increased  internal   expenses  resulting   from  additional   properties,   the
Partnership  will  pay  the  Managing  General  Partner,  with  respect  to each
additional property purchased: (i) a one-time acquisition fee equal to 1% of the
purchase price for  such property  and (ii)  an annual fee  equal to  1% of  the
purchase  price for such property, adjusted  for increases in the Consumer Price
Index. For  1995,  the  one-time  acquisition fee  equaled  $109,238  which  was
capitalized  and  the  increased annual  fee  equaled $29,375.  This  creates an
incentive for the Managing General Partner to cause the Partnership to  purchase
more  properties, to pay higher prices therefor, and to sell existing properties
or to use more leverage to make  such purchases. See "Risk Factors --  Conflicts
of Interest."
    
 
    In addition, if the Rate of Return (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)
on  the Partnership's equity in all  additional properties exceeds 12% per annum
for any fiscal year, the Managing General Partner will be paid an additional fee
equal  to   25%   of   the   cash   flow   received   with   respect   to   such
 
                                       37
<PAGE>
additional  properties in  excess of  the cash flow  representing a  12% rate of
return thereon. However,  to the  extent the Managing  General Partner  receives
distributions  in excess  of those provided  by its  1.98% Partnership interest,
such distributions will reduce the fee payable with respect to such excess  cash
flow from any additional properties. See "Partnership Allocations" below. Except
as  provided above, such payments  are in addition to  distributions made by the
Partnership to the Managing General Partner in its capacity as a partner in  the
Partnership.  The Partnership may pay or  reimburse the Managing General Partner
for payments to  affiliates for goods  or other  services if the  price and  the
terms  for providing such goods or services  are fair to the Partnership and not
less favorable  to the  Partnership than  would be  the case  if such  goods  or
services were obtained from or provided by an unrelated third party.
 
PARTNERSHIP ALLOCATIONS
 
    Net  cash flow  from operations  of the  Partnership that  is distributed is
allocated 98.02% to the  Unitholders and 1.98% to  the Managing General  Partner
until  the Unitholders have received a simple (non-cumulative) annual return for
such year equal to 12%  of the Unrecovered Capital per  Unit (as defined in  the
Partnership Agreement; such Unrecovered Capital is currently $19.68 per Unit and
will  be adjusted to give effect to the issuance of the Units hereunder in order
to make the Unrecovered  Capital uniform for all  outstanding Units) reduced  by
any  prior  distributions of  net proceeds  of  capital transactions);  then any
distributed cash flow for such year  is allocated 75.25% to the Unitholders  and
24.75%  to the  Managing General Partner  until the Unitholders  have received a
total simple (non-cumulative) annual return for such year equal to 17.5% of  the
Unrecovered Capital Per Unit; and then any excess distributed cash flow for such
year  is allocated 60.4%  to the Unitholders  and 39.6% to  the Managing General
Partner. The Partnership  may retain  otherwise distributable cash  flow to  the
extent the Managing General Partner deems appropriate.
 
    Net  proceeds  from  financing  and  sales  or  other  dispositions  of  the
Partnership's properties are allocated  98.02% to the  Unitholders and 1.98%  to
the Managing General Partner until the Unitholders have received an amount equal
to  the Unrecovered Capital Per  Unit plus a cumulative,  simple return equal to
12% of the balance of their  Unrecovered Capital Per Unit outstanding from  time
to  time  (to the  extent not  previously received  from distributions  of prior
capital  transactions);  then  such  proceeds   are  allocated  75.25%  to   the
Unitholders  and 24.75%  to the Managing  General Partner  until the Unitholders
have  received  a  total  cumulative,  simple  return  equal  to  17.5%  of  the
Unrecovered  Capital per Unit; and then such proceeds are allocated 60.4% to the
Unitholders and  39.6% to  the  Managing General  Partner. The  Partnership  may
retain  otherwise distributable net  proceeds from financing  and sales or other
dispositions of the Partnership's properties to the extent the Managing  General
Partner deems appropriate.
 
   
    Operating  income and  loss of  the Partnership  for each  year generally is
allocated between the Managing General Partner  and the Unitholders in the  same
aggregate ratio as cash flow is distributed or distributable for that year. Gain
and  loss from a  capital transaction generally is  allocated among the Managing
General Partner and the Unitholders in the same aggregate ratio as net  proceeds
of the capital transaction are distributed or distributable except to the extent
necessary  to reflect capital account adjustments. In the case of both operating
income or loss and gain or  loss from capital transactions, however, the  amount
of  such income, gain or loss allocated  to the Managing General Partner and the
Unitholders for the year will not  necessarily equal the total cash  distributed
to the Managing General Partner and the Unitholders for such year. Upon transfer
of  a Unit, tax  items allocable thereto  generally will be  allocated among the
transferor and the  transferee based  on the period  during the  year that  each
owned  the Unit, with each Unitholder on the last day of the month being treated
as a Unitholder for the entire month.
    
 
REIT CONVERSION
 
    The  Partnership,  together  with  its  legal  and  financial  advisors,  is
currently  evaluating the merits  of converting to  a self-advised, self-managed
REIT. A conversion to a REIT involves numerous complex legal, financial and  tax
issues    that   must    be   analyzed   fully    before   determining   whether
 
                                       38
<PAGE>
converting to  a REIT  is  in the  best interests  of  the Partnership  and  the
Unitholders.  Moreover,  any such  conversion must  be  approved by  the limited
partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
 
    The Partnership anticipates that the necessary analysis will be completed in
the fourth quarter of 1996. If  the Partnership determines that converting to  a
REIT  is  in the  best interests  of  the Partnership  and the  Unitholders, the
conversion process is anticipated  to be commenced prior  to December 31,  1996,
and  should be completed  as soon as possible  thereafter, which the Partnership
anticipates being prior to December 31, 1997.
 
    A  REIT  is  not  subject  to  federal  income  tax  provided  that  certain
restrictions  are complied with. These restrictions are extensive and affect the
structure and operations of REITs.
 
   
    A REIT is structured as a corporation, trust or association which is managed
by one or  more trustees or  directors. A self-advised,  self-managed REIT is  a
REIT  that is managed by the officers of the  REIT and not by a third party. The
Partnership has indicated that even if it does not convert to a REIT that it may
become self-advised and  self-managed, subject  to the approval  of the  limited
partners.  This  would  entail  the officers  of  the  Managing  General Partner
becoming officers of the Partnership  and being compensated by the  Partnership.
Currently, the Partnership compensates the Managing General Partner for managing
the Partnership and acquiring properties, which in turn compensates its officers
and employees.
    
 
EMPLOYEES
 
    The  Partnership and the Managing General Partner each currently employ five
individuals on  either a  full or  part-time basis.  In addition,  the  Managing
General  Partner retains,  at the expense  of the Partnership  on an independent
contract  basis,  other  parties  in  connection  with  the  operation  of   the
Partnership  and  the Current  Properties,  including auditing,  legal, property
origination and other services.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
    The Partnership is not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to
its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Partnership  or
its  properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business.

                              DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
 
    The following paragraphs generally describe the Units and certain provisions
of the Deposit Agreement and the Depositary Receipt. The following discussion is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement, the Deposit
Agreement  and the Depositary Receipt, which have  been filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
 
GENERAL
 
    The percentage interest in the Partnership represented by a Unit is equal to
the ratio it  bears at the  time of such  determination to the  total number  of
Units   in  the  Partnership  (including  any  undeposited  Units)  outstanding,
multiplied by  the aggregate  percentage  interest in  the Partnerships  of  all
Unitholders.  Each Unit evidences entitlement to  a portion of the Partnership's
cash flow, proceeds from capital transactions and allocations of net income  and
net loss, as determined in accordance with certain provisions of the Partnership
Agreement,  including provisions for increased  distributions and allocations to
the Managing General  Partner (and correspondingly  decreased distributions  and
allocations   to  the  Unitholders)  of  cash   flow  and  proceeds  of  capital
transactions above certain levels. To maintain the uniformity of the Units,  the
Managing  General  Partner  is authorized  to  make certain  adjustments  to the
capital accounts, unrecovered capital and preferred  returns so that all of  the
Units will reflect the same amounts on a per Unit basis. Such adjustments to the
unrecovered  capital will  generally dilute the  interests of  purchasers of the
Units. In addition, a Unitholder's  percentage interest in the Partnership  will
be  diluted if the Partnership  issues Units to a  general partner in connection
with the conversion of  its interest as  a general partner  into Units upon  its
withdrawal or removal.
 
    Upon  the  consummation  of  this Offering  (and  upon  consummation  of any
exercise of  the  over-allotment  option), the  Managing  General  Partner  will
deposit  all of the Units offered and  sold pursuant hereto with Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, as depositary (the "Depositary"). Purchasers of Units
in this Offering  will not  be required  to execute  Transfer Applications,  but
subsequent  transferees of the Depositary Receipts  (or their brokers, agents or
nominees on their behalf) will be required to execute a Transfer Application  in
the form appearing on the back of the Depositary Receipt. Although purchasers of
Units  in this Offering  will not be required  to execute Transfer Applications,
they will be deemed to  have agreed to be bound  by the terms and conditions  of
the Partnership Agreement, the Deposit Agreement and the Depositary Receipt.
 
    Depositary  Receipts may be held in a  "street name" account or by any other
nominee holder. In such  event, the nominee holder  will be required to  provide
the Partnership an undertaking to provide transferees with copies of all reports
issued by the Partnership to the Unitholders. The Partnership will not recognize
the  transfer of  Units held by  a nominee  holder from one  beneficial owner to
another unless the nominee  holder submits an  executed Transfer Application  on
behalf of the transferee. In the absence of written notice to the Partnership or
the Depositary to the effect that a holder of Units is holding such Units in the
capacity  of nominee  holder and identifying  the beneficial  owner thereof, the
Partnership will  treat  the nominee  holder  of  a Depositary  Receipt  as  the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and the beneficial owner's rights shall
be limited solely to those that it has against the nominee holder as a result of
or by reason of any understanding or agreement between such beneficial owner and
nominee holder.
 
TRANSFER OF THE DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS
 
    The  Depositary Receipts are transferable upon compliance with the procedure
described below. A transferee of a  Depositary Receipt will be an assignee  with
respect  to the  Unit evidenced  thereby unless  and until  the Managing General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, consents to the admission of  such
transferee  as  a Substituted  Limited Partner  (as  defined in  the Partnership
Agreement) with respect  to such Unit  and amends the  Partnership Agreement  to
reflect  such  admission. Although  the  Managing General  Partner  reserves the
right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
 
                                       41
<PAGE>
refuse to consent to the admission of any transferee of a Depositary Receipt for
any reason  or for  no reason  at all,  the Managing  General Partner  currently
anticipates  that it generally  will consent to the  admission of transferees of
Depositary Receipts who comply with the procedure described below.
 
    A subsequent  transferee of  a Depositary  Receipt (or  his or  her  broker,
dealer  or nominee holder on  his or her behalf) will  be required to deliver an
executed Transfer  Application to  the  Depositary prior  to registration  of  a
transfer  by the  Depositary. Transfer Applications  appear on the  back of each
Depositary Receipt and also will be furnished at no charge by the Depositary  or
other transfer agent upon receipt of a request therefor. A subsequent transferee
of a Depositary Receipt, whether or not a Transfer Application has been executed
by  or on his behalf, will be deemed to have (a) agreed to be bound by the terms
and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and Depositary Receipt, (b) agreed to be
bound by the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, (c) executed any
documents reasonably required by the Partnership in connection with the transfer
and such admission,  and (d) granted  the power of  attorney described below.  A
request  by any broker, dealer or other nominee holder to register transfer of a
Depositary Receipt,  however signed  (including  by any  stamp, mark  or  symbol
executed or adopted with intent to authenticate the Depositary Receipt), will be
deemed  to  be execution  of a  Transfer Application  by and  on behalf  of such
nominee and the beneficial owner of such Depositary Receipt. Until the  transfer
of  a Depositary Receipt has  been registered on the  books of the Depositary or
another transfer agent, the Depositary and the Partnership will treat the record
holder thereof as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.
 
    Transferees who do not execute a Transfer Application (either themselves  or
through  their broker,  agent or  nominee on their  behalf) will  not be treated
either as an Assignee or as a record  holder of Units and will not receive  cash
distributions,  federal income  tax allocations  or reports  furnished to record
holders of Units.  Nonetheless, any transferee  of a Unit  conclusively will  be
deemed to have agreed to be bound by the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the
Deposit Agreement and the Depositary Receipt.
 
    Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, each purchaser of a Unit
in this Offering and each subsequent transferee of a Depositary Receipt appoints
the  Managing  General  Partner  and  each  of  the  Managing  General Partner's
authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact as such transferee's  attorney-in-fact
(a) to enter into the Deposit Agreement and deposit the Units of such transferee
in  the deposit account established by the Depositary, and (b) to make, execute,
file and/or  record (i)  documents  with respect  to  the qualification  of  the
Partnership  as  a limited  partnership in  Delaware  and any  other appropriate
jurisdictions; (ii) other documents requested by, or appropriate under the  laws
of,  any  appropriate  jurisdiction;  (iii)  instruments  with  respect  to  any
amendment of the Partnership Agreement;  (iv) conveyances and other  instruments
or  documents with respect  to the dissolution,  termination, and liquidation of
the Partnership  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  Partnership  Agreement;  (v)
financing statements or other documents necessary to grant or perfect a security
interest,  mortgage,  pledge  or  lien  on  all or  any  of  the  assets  of the
Partnership; (vi) instruments or papers required to continue the business of the
Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement; (vii) instruments relating to
the  admission  of  any  Partner  to  the  Partnership;  and  (viii)  all  other
instruments  deemed necessary  or advisable to  carry out the  provisions of the
Partnership Agreement. Such power of  attorney is irrevocable, will survive  the
subsequent  death, incompetency, dissolution, disability, incapacity, bankruptcy
or termination  of granting  transferee, and  will extend  to such  transferee's
heirs, successors and assigns.
 
WITHDRAWAL OF UNITS
 
    The  Deposit Agreement generally provides that a  record holder of a Unit on
deposit may withdraw  such Unit  from the  Depositary upon  written request  and
surrender  of the Depositary Receipt evidencing such Unit. A Unit withdrawn from
the Depositary will  be evidenced by  a certificate issued  by the  Partnership.
Withdrawn Units may not be transferred except upon death, by operation of law or
by  transfer  to the  Partnership, but  record holders  of withdrawn  Units will
continue to  receive their  respective share  of distributions  and  allocations
pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
 
                                       42
<PAGE>
In  order to  transfer a  Unit withdrawn  from the  Depositary (other  than upon
death, by operation of law or  to the Partnership), a Unitholder must  redeposit
the  certificate representing such Unit with the Depositary and request issuance
of a Depositary Receipt,  which then may be  transferred. Any redeposit of  such
Unit  with  the Depositary  will  require 60  days'  advance written  notice and
payment of a redeposit fee (currently $5.00 per 100 Units (or portion  thereof))
and  will be  subject to satisfaction  of certain  other procedural requirements
under the Deposit Agreement.
 
RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF DEPOSITARY
 
    The Depositary at any time may resign  as Depositary and at any time may  be
removed by the Partnership. The resignation or removal of the Depositary becomes
effective  upon the appointment of a successor Depositary by the Partnership and
written acceptance by the successor Depositary of such appointment. In the event
a successor Depositary is not appointed  within 30 days of notification of  such
resignation  or removal,  the Managing  General Partner  will act  as Depositary
until a successor Depositary  is appointed. Any corporation  into or with  which
the  Depositary may be  merged or consolidated will  be the successor Depositary
without the execution or filing of any document or any further act.
 
AMENDMENT
 
    Subject  to  the  restrictions   described  below,  the  Deposit   Agreement
(including  the  form  of  Depositary  Receipt) may  be  amended  by  the mutual
agreement of the Managing General  Partner, the Partnership and the  Depositary.
In  the event  any such  amendment adversely  affects any  substantial rights of
holders of Units on  deposit, such amendment will  not be effective without  the
affirmative  vote or  consent of record  holders of  a majority of  the Units on
deposit, as described below.  No amendment to the  Deposit Agreement may  impair
the  right of a Unitholder to surrender  the Depositary Receipt and withdraw any
or all of  the Units evidenced  thereby or  to redeposit Units  pursuant to  the
Deposit  Agreement and receive a  Depositary Receipt evidencing such redeposited
Units.
 
    Any amendment of the Deposit Agreement  that imposes any fee, tax or  charge
(other  than  the fees  and charges  set  forth in  the Deposit  Agreement) upon
Depositary Receipts will not be effective until the expiration of 30 days  after
notice  of the  amendment has  been given  to the  record holders  of Depositary
Receipts or, if the amendment is presented  for a vote of the record holders  of
Units  on deposit,  until it has  been approved  by the affirmative  vote of the
record holders of a majority of such Units.
 
    For the purpose of considering any  amendment of the Deposit Agreement  that
adversely  affects  any substantial  right  of the  record  holders of  Units on
deposit, the Partnership may call a meeting of the record holders of such  Units
according  to  the  procedures  set  forth in  the  Deposit  Agreement.  Such an
amendment of the Deposit Agreement also may  be approved if record holders of  a
majority  of such Units, as of a record date selected by the Depositary, consent
thereto in a writing filed with the Depositary.
 
TERMINATION
 
    The  Partnership  may  not  terminate  the  Deposit  Agreement  unless  such
termination  (a) is in  connection with the Partnership  entering into a similar
agreement with a new depositary selected by the Managing General Partner, (b) is
as a result of the Partnership's receipt of an opinion of counsel to the  effect
that such termination is necessary for the Partnership to avoid being treated as
an  association taxable as a  corporation for federal income  tax purposes or to
avoid being in violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws,  or
(c)  is in  connection with the  dissolution of the  Partnership. The Depositary
will terminate the Deposit Agreement, when directed to do so by the  Partnership
not less than 45 days prior to the date fixed for termination, by mailing notice
of termination to the record holders of all Depositary Receipts then outstanding
at  least 30  days before  the date  fixed for  the termination  in such notice.
Termination will be effective on the date  fixed in the notice, which date  must
be at least 30 days after it is mailed.

DUTIES AND STATUS OF DEPOSITARY
 
    The  Managing General  Partner may request  the Depositary to  act as paying
agent with respect to any distributions  by the Partnership. In addition to  its
out-of-pocket  expenses,  the Depositary  will charge  the Partnership  fees for
serving as Depositary, for transferring  Depositary Receipts, for withdrawal  or
redepositing  of  Units  and for  any  preparation and  mailing  of distribution
checks. All such fees and expenses will be borne by the Partnership, except that
fees similar to those customarily paid by stockholders for surety bond  premiums
to  replace  lost or  stolen certificates,  tax  or other  governmental charges,
special charges for  services requested by  Unitholders (including redeposit  of
withdrawn Units) and other similar fees or charges will be borne by the affected
Unitholders. There will be no charge to Unitholders for any disbursements by the
Depositary of Partnership distributions.
 
    First  Chicago Trust Company of New York currently acts as the registrar and
transfer agent for the Depositary Receipts.

                       FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
    This  section was  prepared by Middleberg,  Riddle & Gianna,  counsel to the
Partnership ("Counsel") and  addresses all material  income tax consequences  to
individuals  who are  citizens or residents  of the United  States. This section
reflects Counsel's opinion  with respect  to the  matters set  forth except  for
statements  of  fact and  the representations  and estimates  of the  results of
future operations of the Managing General Partner included in such discussion as
to  which  no  opinion  is  expressed.   Counsel  bases  its  opinions  on   its
interpretation of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and
Treasury  Regulations issued thereunder, judicial decisions, the facts set forth
in this  Prospectus and  certain factual  representations made  by the  Managing
General  Partner. Counsel's  opinions are subject  to both the  accuracy of such
facts and the  continued applicability of  such legislative, administrative  and
judicial  authorities,  all  of which  authorities  are subject  to  changes and
interpretations that may or may not be retroactively applied.
 
    No ruling has been requested from the IRS with respect to the classification
of the Partnerships as partnerships for federal income tax purposes or any other
matter affecting the Partnerships. Accordingly, the IRS may adopt positions that
differ from  Counsel's conclusions  expressed  herein. It  may be  necessary  to
resort  to administrative or court  proceedings in an effort  to sustain some or
all of Counsel's conclusions,  and some or all  of these conclusions  ultimately
may  not be  sustained. The  costs of  any contest  with the  IRS will  be borne
directly or  indirectly by  some or  all  of the  Unitholders and  the  Managing
General   Partner.  Furthermore,  no  assurance  can   be  given  that  the  tax
consequences of investing in the Partnership will not be significantly  modified
by  future legislation  or administrative changes  or court  decisions. Any such
modifications may or may not be retroactively applied.
 
    It is impractical  to comment on  all aspects of  federal, state, local  and
foreign   laws  that  may  affect  the  tax  consequences  of  the  transactions
contemplated by the sale of Units made  by this Prospectus and of an  investment
in such Units. Moreover, certain types of taxpayers such as tax-exempt entities,
regulated  investment companies and insurance companies  may be subject to rules
and regulations unique to  their status or form  of organization in addition  to
those rules and regulations described herein. Each prospective Unitholder should
consult his own tax advisor in deciding to acquire Units.
 
PARTNERSHIP STATUS
 
    A  partnership is  not a  taxable entity  and incurs  no federal  income tax
liability. Each  partner is  required  to take  into  account in  computing  his
federal  income  tax liability  his allocable  share  of income,  gains, losses,
deductions  and  credits  of  the   partnership,  regardless  of  whether   cash
distributions  are  made.  Distributions  by  a  partnership  to  a  partner are
generally not taxable unless the distribution is in excess of the partner's  tax
basis in his partnership interest.
 
    Counsel  is  of the  opinion  that under  present  law, and  subject  to the
conditions and qualifications set forth below, for federal income tax  purposes,
the  Partnerships will be  treated as partnerships. Counsel's  opinion as to the
partnership  status  of   the  Partnerships  is   based  principally  upon   its
interpretation  of the factors  set forth in  Treasury Regulations under Section
7701 of the  Code, its  interpretation of  Section 7704  of the  Code, and  upon
certain representations made by the Managing General Partner. However, it should
be  noted  that  neither Partnership  satisfies  the requirements  to  obtain an
advance ruling from the IRS with respect to its classification as a  partnership
for federal income tax purposes.
 
   
    The  Treasury Regulations  under Section 7701  of the Code  provide that the
determination  of  whether  a  limited  partnership  will  be  classified  as  a
partnership or as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes  depends upon  the extent  to which  the partnership  has the corporate
characteristics of  continuity  of  life,  free  transferability  of  interests,
centralization of management and limited liability. A limited partnership having
no  more than two of these four characteristics will ordinarily be classified as
a partnership  for  federal  income tax  purposes.  Under  Proposed  Regulations
Section  301.7701-1, the classification determination would be elective for many
business entities including  the Partnership. Although  the current  regulations
will continue to apply until the
    
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
Proposed  Regulations are finalized, transitional rules  state that the IRS will
not challenge the partnership classification of certain eligible entities  which
have  a reasonable basis for their claimed classification. In Counsel's opinion,
neither Partnership has the corporate  characteristics of continuity of life  or
limited  liability, and  the Operating Partnership  does not  have the corporate
characteristic of free  transferability of  interests. Based  on this  analysis,
Counsel  has  concluded  that  neither  Partnership  will  be  classified  as an
association taxable as a corporation under Section 7701 of the Code.
 
   
    Section 7704 of the Code  provides that publicly-traded partnerships  shall,
as  a general rule, be taxed as corporations  despite the fact that they are not
classified as associations taxable as  corporations under Section 7701.  Section
7704  of the Code provides an exception to this general rule (the "Real Property
Rent Exception") for a publicly traded partnership  if 90% or more of its  gross
income  for  every taxable  year  consists of  "qualifying  income." "Qualifying
income" includes real  property rental income  and gain from  the sale or  other
disposition  of real property  and gains from  the sale or  other disposition of
capital assets  held for  the production  of income  that otherwise  constitutes
"qualifying income."
    
 
   
    Real  property rent is defined,  under Section 7704 of  the Code, as amounts
which would qualify as rent from real property under Section 856(d) of the  Code
(the  provisions  of  the  Code dealing  with  Real  Estate  Investment Trusts).
Although substantially  all  of  the  income  of  the  Partnership  consists  of
qualifying  rental income, the Partnership  currently engages in activities that
give rise  to  non-qualifying  rental  income and  may  enter  into  other  such
transactions  in the future. Rental income of the Partnership may not qualify as
real property  rent pursuant  to Section  856 of  the Code  if the  Partnership,
directly  or indirectly  through the  constructive ownership  rules contained in
Section 318 of the Code, owns more  than 10% of the capital or profits  interest
in  any  tenant leasing  real property  from  the Partnership.  The Partnership,
through such attribution rules, owns greater  than a 10% interest in one  tenant
which  leases three (3) Burger King  restaurant properties from the Partnership.
However, such non-qualifying income is less than 3.5% of total Partnership gross
income. With respect to other transactions in which the Managing General Partner
has or may  acquire an ownership  interest in any  tenant, the Managing  General
Partner  has represented that it  and its affiliates will  not acquire, or allow
any Unitholder  owning more  than  5% of  total  Units outstanding  to  acquire,
greater than a 10% ownership interest in such tenant.
    
 
    Additionally,   the  Partnership  has  purchased  items  of  personalty  and
equipment and leased  such items to  tenants in conjunction  with real  property
leases.  To the  extent that  the rental  income attributable  to such equipment
exceeds 15% of  total rental income  for the real  property and equipment,  such
rental income would not qualify as real property rent. The Partnership generally
separately  allocates rental income between equipment and real property, and the
equipment component of  such rental  income is generally  less than  15% of  the
total  rental income. Assuming that such allocation  is valid, no portion of the
rental income attributable to equipment and personal property should  constitute
non-qualifying income.
 
    The  Partnership estimates  that a  total of  3.5% of  its gross  income for
taxable year 1996 will not constitute qualifying income, and estimates that less
than 3.5%  of  its  gross income  for  each  subsequent taxable  year  will  not
constitute qualifying income.
 
    If  the Partnership fails  to meet the  Real Property Rent  Exception to the
general rule of Section 7704 of the Code (other than a failure determined by the
IRS to be inadvertent which is cured within a reasonable time after  discovery),
the  Partnership will  be treated  as if  it had  transferred all  of its assets
(subject to liabilities) to a newly-formed corporation (on the first day of  the
year  in which it fails to meet the  Real Property Rent Exception) in return for
stock in such corporation, and then distributed such stock to the Unitholders in
liquidation of their interest in the Partnership.
 
   
    In rendering  its opinion  that neither  Partnership will  be treated  as  a
corporation for federal income tax purposes, Counsel has relied on the following
factual representations by the Managing General Partner as to the Partnerships:
    
 
                                       46
<PAGE>
       1.  Each Partnership will be operated in accordance with applicable state
           partnership  statutes, its  partnership agreement  and the statements
    and representations made in this Prospectus.
 
       2.  Except as  otherwise required  by  Section 704(c)  of the  Code,  the
           general  partner  of  each Partnership  will  have at  least  a 0.99%
    interest in each material item of  income, gain, loss, deduction and  credit
    of its respective Partnership.
 
       3.  For  each taxable  year, less  than 10%  of each  Partnership's gross
           income will  be derived  from sources  other than  (i) real  property
    rental  income and gain from the sale or other disposition of real property,
    or (ii) other  items of "qualifying  income" within the  meaning of  Section
    7704(d) of the Code.
 
       4.  The   Managing  General   Partner  of   each  Partnership   will  act
           independently of such Partnership's limited partners.
 
    If either  Partnership  was  taxable  as a  corporation  or  treated  as  an
association  taxable as  a corporation in  any taxable year,  its income, gains,
losses, deductions and credits would be reflected only on its tax return  rather
than  being passed through to its partners and its taxable income would be taxed
at corporate rates. In addition, its distributions to each of its partners would
be treated  as  either  dividend  income  (to  the  extent  of  its  current  or
accumulated  earnings and profits), and, in the absence of earnings and profits,
as a nontaxable return of capital (to the extent of such partner's tax basis  in
his interest therein) or taxable capital gain (after such partner's tax basis in
his  interest therein is reduced to  zero). Furthermore, losses realized by such
Partnership would not flow through to the Unitholders. Accordingly, treatment of
either Partnership  as  a corporation  for  federal income  tax  purposes  would
probably  result  in  a  material  reduction in  a  Unitholder's  cash  flow and
after-tax return.
 
    The discussion below is based on  the assumption that each Partnership  will
be  classified  as  a  partnership  for federal  income  tax  purposes.  If that
assumption proves to  be erroneous, most,  if not all,  of the tax  consequences
described below would not be applicable to Unitholders.
 
PARTNER STATUS
 
    Unitholders  who have become limited partners of the Partnership pursuant to
the provisions of the Partnership Agreement  will be treated as partners of  the
Partnership for federal income tax purposes.
 
    The  IRS has ruled that assignees of partnership interests who have not been
admitted to a  partnership as partners,  but who have  the capacity to  exercise
substantial  dominion and control over  the assigned partnership interests, will
be treated as partners  for federal income  tax purposes. On  the basis of  such
ruling,  except as otherwise  described herein, (i)  assignees who have executed
and delivered  transfer  applications, and  are  awaiting admission  as  limited
partners of the Partnership, and (ii) Unitholders whose Units are held in street
name  or by another nominee  will be treated as  partners for federal income tax
purposes. As such ruling does  not extend, on its  facts, to assignees of  Units
who are entitled to execute and deliver transfer applications and thereby become
entitled to direct the exercise of attendant rights, but who fail to execute and
deliver  transfer applications, the  tax status of  such Unitholders is unclear,
and Counsel expresses no opinion with  respect to the status of such  assignees.
Such  Unitholders should  consult their own  tax advisors with  respect to their
status as  partners  in the  Partnership  for  federal income  tax  purposes.  A
purchaser  or  other transferee  of Units  who  does not  execute and  deliver a
transfer application may not receive  certain federal income tax information  or
reports  furnished to  record holders of  Units unless  the Units are  held in a
nominee or  street name  account and  the  nominee or  broker has  executed  and
delivered a transfer application with respect to such Units.
 
    A  beneficial owner of  Units whose Units  have been transferred  to a short
seller to complete a  short sale would  appear to lose his  status as a  partner
with  respect  to  such Units  for  federal  income tax  purposes.  See  "-- Tax
Treatment of Operations -- Treatment of Short Sales."

TAX CONSEQUENCES OF UNIT OWNERSHIP
 
    FLOW-THROUGH OF TAXABLE INCOME
 
    The Partnership's income, gains, losses, deductions and credits will consist
of its allocable share of the  income, gains, losses, deductions and credits  of
the Operating Partnership and dividends from its corporate subsidiaries. Because
the  Partnership  is not  a  taxable entity  and  incurs no  federal  income tax
liability, each Unitholder will be required  to take into account his  allocable
share of income, gain, loss and deductions of the Operating Partnership (through
the  Partnership) without regard to whether corresponding cash distributions are
received by Unitholders. Consequently, a Unitholder may be allocated income from
the Partnership although he has not  received a cash distribution in respect  of
such income.
 
    TREATMENT OF PARTNERSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS
 
    Under  Section  731  of the  Code,  distributions  by the  Partnership  to a
Unitholder generally will not be taxable  to such Unitholder for federal  income
tax  purposes to the extent of his tax basis in his Units immediately before the
distribution. Cash distributions (and,  in certain circumstances,  distributions
of  marketable securities) in excess of  such basis generally will be considered
to be gain from the  sale or exchange of the  Units, taxable in accordance  with
the  rules  described  under  "--  Disposition of  Units."  Any  reduction  in a
Unitholder's share of the Partnership's liabilities included in his tax basis in
his Units will be treated as a distribution of cash to such Unitholder. See  "--
Tax  Basis of Units."  A decrease in  a Unitholder's percentage  interest in the
Partnership because of a Partnership offering of additional Units will  decrease
such  Unitholder's share of nonrecourse liabilities  and, thus, will result in a
corresponding deemed distribution of cash.
 
    A non-pro rata  distribution of  money or  property may  result in  ordinary
income  to  a Unitholder,  regardless of  his tax  basis in  his Units,  if such
distribution reduces  the Unitholder's  share of  the Partnership's  "unrealized
receivables" (including depreciation recapture) and/or substantially appreciated
"inventory  items" (both as  defined in Section 751  of the Code) (collectively,
"Section 751 Assets"). To that extent, the Unitholder will be treated as  having
received  his proportionate share of the Section 751 Assets and having exchanged
such assets with the Partnership in return  for the non-pro rata portion of  the
actual  distribution made  to him.  This latter  deemed exchange  will generally
result in the Unitholder's realization  of ordinary income under Section  751(b)
of  the Code. Such income will equal the  excess of (i) the non-pro rata portion
of such distribution over (ii) the Unitholder's tax basis for the share of  such
Section 751 Assets deemed relinquished in the exchange.
 
    TAX BASIS OF UNITS
 
    In  general, a Unitholder's tax basis for  his Units initially will be equal
to the price of such  Units to him. A Unitholder's  tax basis will generally  be
increased  by (i) his share of Partnership  taxable income and (ii) his share of
Partnership liabilities that are without  recourse to any Partner  ("nonrecourse
liabilities"),  if any. Generally, a Unitholder's tax basis in his interest will
be decreased (but not below zero) by (i) his share of Partnership distributions,
(ii) his share of decreases in nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership, (iii)
his share  of losses  of the  Partnership and  (iv) his  share of  nondeductible
expenditures   of  the  Partnership  that  are  not  chargeable  to  capital.  A
Unitholder's share of  nonrecourse liabilities  will generally be  based on  his
share  of the Partnership's profits. The Partnership's present debt financing in
the maximum principal amount  of $40 million is  fully recourse to the  Managing
General  Partner and would  therefore not be includable  in the Unitholder's tax
basis for their Units, although the  Business Trust has obtained debt  financing
which  is nonrecourse to the Partnership in  the maximum principal amount of $20
million. Accordingly, at the time that a Unitholder makes the adjustment to  his
share  of Partnership  properties pursuant  to Section  743(b) of  the Code, the
Unitholder will not be permitted to  include the recourse debt financing of  the
Partnership  but  may be  entitled  to include  a  portion of  the Partnership's
nonrecourse financing, in such adjustment.  See "-- Tax Treatment of  Operations
- -- Section 754 Election."
 
                                       48
<PAGE>
    LIMITATIONS ON DEDUCTIBILITY OF LOSSES
 
    The  passive loss limitations contained in Section 469 of the Code generally
provide that individuals, estates, trusts and certain closely-held  corporations
and  personal  service corporations  can deduct  losses from  passive activities
(generally, activities in  which the taxpayer  does not materially  participate)
only  to the  extent of  the taxpayer's income  from such  passive activities or
investments. The  passive loss  limitations are  to be  applied separately  with
respect  to publicly-traded partnerships. Consequently,  losses generated by the
Partnership, if any, will be available to offset only future income generated by
the Partnership and will  not be available to  offset income from other  passive
activities  or  investments (including  other  publicly traded  partnerships) or
salary or active business income. Passive losses that are not deductible because
they exceed the Unitholder's income generated by the Partnership may be deducted
in full when the Unitholder disposes of his entire investment in the Partnership
to an unrelated party in a fully taxable transaction.
 
    A Unitholder's share of net income from the Partnership may be offset by any
suspended passive losses  from the  Partnership, but may  not be  offset by  any
other current or carryover losses from other passive activities, including those
attributable  to  other  publicly  traded  partnerships.  According  to  an  IRS
announcement, Treasury regulations will be issued which characterize net passive
income from a publicly traded partnership  as investment income for purposes  of
deducting investment interest.
 
    In  addition to the foregoing limitations,  a Unitholder may not deduct from
taxable income his share of Partnership losses, if any, to the extent that  such
losses  exceed the lesser of  (i) the tax basis  of his Units at  the end of the
Partnership's taxable year  in which  the loss occurs  and (ii)  the amount  for
which  the Unitholder is considered  "at risk" under Section  465 of the Code at
the end of that year.  In general, a Unitholder will  initially be "at risk"  to
the  extent of the purchase price of  his Units. A Unitholder's "at risk" amount
increases or decreases  as his tax  basis in his  Units increases or  decreases,
except   that  nonrecourse  liabilities  (or  increases  or  decreases  in  such
liabilities) of the Partnership  generally do not affect  his "at risk"  amount.
Losses  disallowed to  a Unitholder as  a result  of these rules  can be carried
forward and will be allowable to the Unitholder to the extent that his tax basis
or "at  risk" amount  (whichever was  the  limiting factor)  is increased  in  a
subsequent  year.  The "at  risk"  rules apply  to  an individual  Unitholder, a
shareholder of a corporate Unitholder that  is an S corporation and a  corporate
Unitholder  if 50%  or more  of the  value of  such stock  is owned  directly or
indirectly by five or fewer individuals.
 
    ALLOCATION OF PARTNERSHIP INCOME, GAIN, LOSS AND DEDUCTION
 
    The Partnership Agreement requires that a capital account be maintained  for
each  partner  in accordance  with the  tax accounting  principles set  forth in
applicable Treasury Regulations  under Section  704 of  the Code.  Distributions
upon  liquidation of the Partnership are to  be made in accordance with positive
capital account balances.
 
    In general, if the Partnership has a net profit, items of income, gain, loss
and deduction  will be  allocated among  the Managing  General Partner  and  the
Unitholders  in accordance with  their respective interests  in the Partnership.
Notwithstanding the above, as  required by Section 704(c)  of the Code,  certain
items  of  Partnership income,  gain, loss  and deduction  will be  allocated to
account for  the difference  between the  tax  basis and  fair market  value  of
certain  property held by the Partnership ("Contributed Property"). Transactions
which result in a required Section 704(c) allocation with respect to Contributed
Property may arise if  (i) a Unitholder  contributes appreciated or  depreciated
property,  rather than cash, to the  Partnership, or (ii) additional Partnership
Units are issued for cash, and at the time of such issuance, the capital account
of the existing partners are restated to account for the difference between  the
tax  basis and  fair market value  of Partnership property.  The Partnership has
previously participated in several transactions  described in clause (i)  above.
Upon  the issuance of the  Units, the capital accounts  of the existing partners
will be restated as described in clause (ii) above. Accordingly, with respect to
each such transaction, the Partnership will  be required to make Section  704(c)
allocations.
 
                                       49
<PAGE>
    In  addition, certain  items of  recapture income  will be  allocated to the
extent possible  to the  partner  allocated the  deduction  giving rise  to  the
treatment  of such gain as recapture income in order to minimize the recognition
of ordinary  income  by some  Unitholders,  but  these allocations  may  not  be
respected.  If  these allocations  of recapture  income  are not  respected, the
amount of the income or  gain allocated to a Unitholder  will not change, but  a
change  in the character of  the income allocated to  a Unitholder would result.
Finally, although  the Partnership  does  not expect  that its  operations  will
result  in  the  creation  of negative  capital  accounts,  if  negative capital
accounts nevertheless  result, items  of  Partnership income  and gain  will  be
allocated  in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the negative balances
as quickly as possible.
 
    Under Section 704(c) of  the Code, the partners  in a partnership cannot  be
allocated more depreciation, gain or loss than the total amount of any such item
recognized  by that  partnership in  a particular  taxable period  (the "ceiling
limitation"). To the extent the ceiling limitation is or becomes applicable, the
Partnership Agreement will require that certain items of income and deduction be
allocated in a way designed to effectively "cure" this problem and eliminate the
impact of the  ceiling limitation.  Such allocations will  not have  substantial
economic  effect because they will  not be reflected in  the capital accounts of
the Unitholders. Treasury Regulations under Section 704(c) of the Code permit  a
partnership  to  make reasonable  curative  allocations to  reduce  or eliminate
disparities  between  the  tax  basis  and  value  attributable  to  Contributed
Properties.
 
    Counsel  is of  the opinion  that, with the  exception of  the allocation of
recapture income discussed  above, allocations under  the Partnership  Agreement
will  be given effect for federal income tax purposes in determining a partner's
distributive share of  an item of  income, gain, loss  or deduction. There  are,
however,  uncertainties in the  Treasury Regulations relating  to allocations of
partnership income,  and  investors should  be  aware that  the  allocations  of
recapture  income in the Partnership Agreement may be successfully challenged by
the IRS.
 
TAX TREATMENT OF OPERATIONS
 
    INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS IN GENERAL
 
    No federal  income  tax will  be  paid  by the  Partnership.  Instead,  each
Unitholder  will be required  to report on  his income tax  return his allocable
share of income,  gains, losses and  deductions of the  Partnership. Such  items
must be included on the Unitholder's federal income tax return without regard to
whether  the  Partnership makes  a  distribution of  cash  to the  Unitholder. A
Unitholder  is  generally  entitled  to  offset  his  allocable  share  of   the
Partnership's passive income with his allocable share of losses generated by the
Partnership,  if any. See "-- Tax  Consequences of Unit Ownership -- Limitations
on Deductibility of Losses."
 
    The Partnership  has  adopted  a convention  with  respect  to  transferring
Unitholders  which  generally  allocates  the  Net Income  or  Net  Loss  of the
Partnership proportionately to each day of  the year, and treats any  Unitholder
owning  a Unit as of the last day of the month as owning the Unit for the entire
month.
 
    ACCOUNTING METHOD AND TAXABLE YEAR
 
    The Partnership utilizes the calendar year  as its taxable year and  adopted
the accrual method of accounting for federal income tax purposes.
 
    DEPRECIATION METHOD
 
    The  Partnership elected to  use the straight-line  depreciation method with
respect  to  its  real  property  assets.  Property  subsequently  acquired   or
constructed by the Partnership may be depreciated using accelerated depreciation
methods permitted by Section 168 of the Code.
 
    SECTION 754 ELECTION
 
    Each Partnership will make the election permitted by Section 754 of the Code
effective for Partnership taxable year 1996. Such election will generally permit
a  purchaser of Units to adjust his share  of the tax basis in the Partnership's
properties pursuant to Section 743(b) of the Code. Such
 
                                       50
<PAGE>
elections are irrevocable  without the consent  of the IRS.  The Section  743(b)
adjustment  is attributed solely to a purchaser of Units and is not added to the
tax basis of  the Partnership's assets  associated with all  of the  Unitholders
described  above under the heading "--  Initial Tax Basis of Partnership Assets"
(the "Common Bases"). The amount of  the adjustment under Section 743(b) is  the
difference  between the Unitholder's tax basis in his Units and the Unitholder's
proportionate share of the  Common Bases attributable to  the Units pursuant  to
Section  743.  The aggregate  amount of  the  adjustment computed  under Section
743(b) is then allocated among the various assets of the Partnership pursuant to
the rules of Section 755. The Section 743(b) adjustment acts in concert with the
Section 704(c) allocations (including the curative allocations, if respected) in
providing the purchaser of Units with the equivalent of a tax basis in his share
of the Partnership's properties  equal to the fair  market value of such  share.
See  "--  Allocation of  Partnership  Income, Gain,  Loss  and Deduction  -- The
Partnership Agreement" and "-- Uniformity of Units."
 
    Proposed Treasury  Regulation  Section  1.168-2(n)  generally  requires  the
Section 743(b) adjustment attributable to recovery property to be depreciated as
if  the  total amount  of such  adjustment  were attributable  to newly-acquired
recovery property placed in  service when the  transfer occurs. The  legislative
history  of Section 197 of the Code indicates that the Section 743(b) adjustment
attributable to  an  amortizable  Section 197  intangible  should  be  similarly
treated.  Under Treasury  Regulation Section 1.167(c)-1(a)(6),  a Section 743(b)
adjustment attributable to property subject to depreciation under Section 167 of
the Code rather  than cost recovery  deductions under Section  168 is  generally
required  to be  depreciated using either  the straight-line method  or the 150%
declining balance method. The Partnership  utilizes the straight line method  on
such  property.  The  depreciation  and amortization  methods  and  useful lives
associated with the Section  743(b) adjustment, therefore,  may differ from  the
methods  and useful lives generally used to  depreciate the Common Bases in such
properties. The Managing General Partner is authorized to adopt a convention  to
preserve  the  uniformity  of  Units  despite  its  inconsistency  with Proposed
Treasury  Regulation  Section   1.168-2(n)  and   Treasury  Regulation   Section
1.167(c)-1(a)(6). See "-- Uniformity of Units."
 
    Although  Counsel is unable to opine as to the validity of such an approach,
the Partnership intends to depreciate the portion of a Section 743(b) adjustment
attributable to unrealized appreciation in the value of Contributed Property (to
the extent  of  any  unamortized  disparity between  the  tax  basis  and  value
attributable   to  Contributed  Property)  using   a  rate  of  depreciation  or
amortization derived from  the depreciation  or amortization  method and  useful
life  applied to  the Common Bases  of such property,  despite its inconsistency
with  Proposed  Treasury  Regulation  Section  1.168-2(n),  Treasury  Regulation
Section  1.167(c)-1(a)(6) or the legislative history of Section 197 of the Code.
If the Partnership determines that such position cannot reasonably be taken, the
Partnership may adopt a depreciation or amortization convention under which  all
purchasers  acquiring  Units in  the same  month  would receive  depreciation or
amortization, whether  attributable to  Common Bases  or Section  743(b)  basis,
based  upon the same applicable rate as  if they had purchased a direct interest
in the Partnership's property.  Such an aggregate approach  may result in  lower
annual depreciation or amortization deductions than would otherwise be allowable
to certain Unitholders. See "-- Uniformity of Units."
 
    The  allocation of the Section 743(b)  adjustment must be made in accordance
with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code. Based on these principles,  the
IRS  may seek to reallocate some or all  of any Section 743(b) adjustment not so
allocated by the Partnership to goodwill which, as an intangible asset, would be
amortizable over  a longer  period of  time than  certain of  the  Partnership's
tangible  assets. Alternatively, it is possible that the IRS might seek to treat
the portion of such Section 743(b) adjustment attributable to the  underwriters'
discount as if it were allocable to a non-deductible syndication cost.
 
    A  Section 754 election  is advantageous when the  transferee's tax basis in
such Units is higher than  such Units' share of the  aggregate tax basis in  the
Partnership's  assets immediately prior to the  transfer. In such case, pursuant
to the election,  the transferee will  take a new  and higher tax  basis in  his
share  of  the Partnership's  assets for  purposes  of calculating,  among other
items, his depreciation
 
                                       51
<PAGE>
deductions and his  share of any  gain or loss  on a sale  of the  Partnership's
assets.  Conversely,  a Section  754 election  would  be disadvantageous  if the
transferee's tax basis  in such Units  is lower  than such Units'  share of  the
aggregate  tax  basis  in  the Partnership's  assets  immediately  prior  to the
transfer. Thus, the amounts that a Unitholder would be able to obtain on a  sale
or  other disposition of his Units may be affected favorably or adversely by the
elections under Section 754.
 
    The calculations and adjustments in connection with the Section 754 election
depend, among other things, on the date on which a transfer occurs and the price
at  which  the  transfer  occurs.  To  help  reduce  the  complexity  of   those
calculations  and  the resulting  administrative  cost to  the  Partnership, the
Managing General Partner will apply the following method in making the necessary
adjustments pursuant to the Section 754 election on transfers subsequent to  the
transfers  pursuant to  this offering:  the price paid  by a  transferee for his
Units will be deemed to be the lowest quoted trading price for the Units  during
the  calendar month in which the transfer was deemed to occur, without regard to
the actual  price  paid.  The  application of  such  convention  yields  a  less
favorable  tax result, as  compared to adjustments  based on actual  price, to a
transferee who  paid  more  than  the "convention  price"  for  his  Units.  The
calculations under Section 754 elections are highly complex, and there is little
legal  authority concerning the  mechanics of the  calculations, particularly in
the context of publicly  traded partnerships. It is  possible that the IRS  will
successfully assert that the adjustments made by the Managing General Partner do
not  meet the requirements of the Code or the applicable regulations and require
a different tax basis adjustment to be made.
 
    Should the IRS  require a  different tax basis  adjustment to  be made,  and
should,  in the  Managing General Partner's  opinion, the  expense of compliance
exceed the  benefit of  the  election, the  Managing  General Partner  may  seek
permission  from the IRS to revoke the  Section 754 election previously made for
the Partnership. Such  a revocation  may increase  the ratio  of a  Unitholder's
distributive  share of taxable income to cash distributions and adversely affect
the amount that a Unitholder will receive from the sale of his Units.
 
    ESTIMATES OF RELATIVE FAIR MARKET VALUES AND BASIS OF PROPERTIES
 
    The consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Units will
depend in part on estimates by the Managing General Partner of the relative fair
market values  and  determinations  of  the  tax basis  of  the  assets  of  the
Partnership.   The  federal  income  tax  consequences  of  such  estimates  and
determinations of tax basis may be subject to challenge and will not be  binding
on   the  IRS  or  the  courts.  If  the  estimates  of  fair  market  value  or
determinations of tax basis were found to be incorrect, the character and amount
of items  of income,  gain, loss,  deduction or  credit previously  reported  by
Unitholders  might  change, and  Unitholders might  be  required to  amend their
previously  filed  tax  returns   or  to  file  claims   for  refund.  See   "--
Administrative Matters -- Valuation Overstatements."
 
    TREATMENT OF SHORT SALES
 
    A  Unitholder whose Units  are loaned to  a "short seller"  to cover a short
sale of Units  would appear to  be considered as  having transferred  beneficial
ownership  of such Units and would, thus, no longer be a partner with respect to
such Units during the period of such loan. As a result, during such period,  any
Partnership  income, gains, deductions,  losses or credits  with respect to such
Units  would  appear  not  to  be  reportable  by  such  Unitholder,  any   cash
distributions  received by  the Unitholder with  respect to such  Units would be
fully taxable  and all  of such  distributions  would appear  to be  treated  as
ordinary  income. The  IRS also  may contend that  a loan  of Units  to a "short
seller" constitutes a taxable exchange.  If such a contention were  successfully
made,  the  lending  Unitholder  may  be required  to  recognize  gain  or loss.
Unitholders desiring  to assure  their status  as partners  should modify  their
brokerage  account agreements, if any, to  prohibit their brokers from borrowing
their Units. The IRS has announced that it is actively studying issues  relating
to the tax treatment of short sales of partnership interests.
 
    ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX
 
    Each Unitholder will be required to take into account his share of any items
of Partnership income, gain or loss for purposes of the alternative minimum tax.
A portion of the Partnership's
 
                                       52
<PAGE>
depreciation  deductions may be  treated as an  item of tax  preference for this
purpose. A  Unitholder's alternative  minimum taxable  income derived  from  the
Partnership  may be higher than his share  of Partnership net income because the
Partnership may use  more accelerated  methods of depreciation  for purposes  of
computing federal taxable income or loss. Prospective Unitholders should consult
with  their tax  advisors as to  the impact of  an investment in  Units on their
liability for the alternative minimum tax.
 
    TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES, REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANIES AND FOREIGN INVESTORS
 
    Employee benefit  plans and  most other  organizations exempt  from  federal
income   tax  (including  individual  retirement  accounts  ("IRAs")  and  other
retirement plans)  are  subject to  federal  income tax  on  unrelated  business
taxable  income ("UBIT"). Substantially all of  the income of the Partnership is
rental income from real property which is excluded from the definition of  UBIT.
However,  to the extent that any  rental income is attributable to debt-financed
property, as defined in Section  514 of the Code,  such income will not  satisfy
the rental income exclusion and will be taxable to a tax-exempt Unitholder as an
item  of UBIT.  Although the  Partnership currently has  only a  small amount of
debt-financed property (as defined under Section 514 of the Code), the  Managing
General  Partner expects such proportion of debt-financed properties to increase
as the  Partnership continues  its acquisition  program. Accordingly,  a  larger
percentage of the Partnership's total income may become UBIT.
 
    Regulated  investment companies are required to  derive 90% or more of their
gross income  from  interest,  dividends,  gains from  the  sale  of  stocks  or
securities or foreign currency or certain related sources. It is not anticipated
that any significant amount of the Partnership's gross income will be qualifying
income.
 
    Nonresident  aliens and foreign corporations, trusts or estates that acquire
Units will be  considered to  be engaged  in business  in the  United States  on
account of ownership of such Units and as a consequence will be required to file
federal  tax  returns in  respect of  their  distributive shares  of Partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction  or credit and pay  federal income tax at  regular
rates  (net  of credits,  including withholding)  on  such income.  Generally, a
partnership is required by Section 1446 of the Code to pay a withholding tax  on
the  portion of the partnership's income  that is effectively connected with the
conduct of  a United  States trade  or business  and that  is allocable  to  the
foreign  partners, regardless of whether any actual distributions have been made
to  such   partners.  However,   under  rules   applicable  to   publicly-traded
partnerships,  the Partnership will withhold (currently at the rate of 39.6%) on
actual cash distributions  made quarterly to  foreign Unitholders. Each  foreign
Unitholder  must obtain a taxpayer identification number from the IRS and submit
that number to the transfer agent of the  Partnership on a Form W-8 in order  to
obtain  credit  for  the taxes  withheld.  Subsequent adoption  of  the Treasury
Regulations or the issuance of  other administrative pronouncements may  require
the Partnership to change these procedures.
 
    Because  a foreign corporation that owns Units will be treated as engaged in
a United States trade or business, such  a Unitholder will be subject to  United
States  branch profits  tax at  a rate  of 30%,  in addition  to regular federal
income tax, on its allocable share of the Partnership's earnings and profits (as
adjusted for changes in  the foreign corporation's "U.S.  net equity") that  are
effectively  connected with  the conduct of  a United States  trade or business.
Such a tax  may be reduced  or eliminated by  an income tax  treaty between  the
United  States  and the  country  with respect  to  which the  foreign corporate
Unitholder is a "qualified resident." In addition, such a Unitholder is  subject
to special information reporting requirements under Section 6038C of the Code.
 
    A  foreign Unitholder  who sells  or otherwise  disposes of  a Unit  will be
subject to federal income tax on gain  realized on the disposition of such  Unit
to the extent that such gain is effectively connected with a United States trade
or  business of the foreign Unitholder. The  IRS has issued a ruling under which
all or a portion of any gain that is recognized on a sale of a Unit by a foreign
Unitholder will be subject to tax under the rule of the preceding sentence.  The
Partnership  does not  expect that  any material portion  of any  such gain will
avoid United States taxation. If less than  all of any such gain is so  taxable,
then  Section 897  of the  Code may  increase the  portion of  any gain  that is
recognized by a
 
                                       53
<PAGE>
foreign Unitholder that is subject to  United States income tax and  withholding
of  10% of the  amount realized on the  disposition of a Unit  may apply if that
foreign Unitholder  has held  more than  5% in  value of  the Units  during  the
five-year  period ending on the date of the  disposition or if the Units are not
regularly traded  on  an  established  securities market  at  the  time  of  the
disposition.
 
UNIFORMITY OF UNITS
 
    There can arise a lack of uniformity in the intrinsic tax characteristics of
Units  sold  pursuant  to this  offering  and  Units outstanding  prior  to this
offering. Without such  uniformity, compliance with  several federal income  tax
requirements,  both statutory and regulatory, could be substantially diminished.
In addition, such non-uniformity could have a negative impact on the ability  of
a  Unitholder  to dispose  of  his interest  in  the Partnership.  Such  lack of
uniformity can  result  from the  application  of Proposed  Treasury  Regulation
Section  1.168-2(n)  and  Treasury Regulation  Section  1.167(c)-1(a)(6)  or the
application of certain  "ceiling" limitations  on the  Partnership's ability  to
make  allocations  to  eliminate disparities  between  the tax  basis  and value
attributable to Contributed Properties.
 
    Depreciation conventions may be adopted or items of income and deduction may
be specially allocated in a manner  that is intended to preserve the  uniformity
of  intrinsic tax  characteristics among all  Units, despite  the application of
either Proposed Treasury Regulation  Section 1.168-2(n) and Treasury  Regulation
Section 1.167(c)-l(a)(6) or the "ceiling" limitations to Contributed Properties.
Any such special allocation will be made solely for federal income tax purposes.
In  the event the IRS disallows the use  of such conventions, some or all of the
adverse consequences described in the preceding paragraph could result. See  "--
Allocation  of  Partnership  Income,  Gain,  Loss  and  Deduction"  and  "-- Tax
Treatment of Operations -- Section 754 Election."
 
DISPOSITION OF UNITS
 
    GAIN OR LOSS IN GENERAL
 
   
    If a Unit is  sold or otherwise  disposed of, the  determination of gain  or
loss  from the sale or other disposition will be based on the difference between
the amount realized and the tax basis for such Unit. See "-- Tax Consequences of
Unit Ownership -- Basis of  Units." Upon the sale  of his Units, a  Unitholder's
"amount  realized" will  be measured by  the sum  of the cash  or other property
received plus the portion of the Partnership's nonrecourse liabilities allocated
to the Units sold.  Similarly, upon a  gift of his Units,  a Unitholder will  be
deemed  to have realized gain  with respect to the  portion of the Partnership's
nonrecourse liabilities allocable to such Units.  To the extent that the  amount
of  cash  or property  received plus  the allocable  share of  the Partnership's
nonrecourse liabilities  exceeds  the  Unitholder's  tax  basis  for  the  Units
disposed  of (in the case of a charitable gift, only a portion of such tax basis
may be offset against the nonrecourse debt), the Unitholder will recognize gain.
The tax  liability resulting  from such  gain could  exceed the  amount of  cash
received upon the disposition of such Units.
    
 
    The  IRS has ruled that  a partner must maintain  an aggregate tax basis for
his interests in a single partnership  (consisting of all interests acquired  in
separate  transactions). On a sale of a portion of such aggregate interest, such
partner would  be required  to  allocate his  aggregate  tax basis  between  the
interest  sold and the interest retained by some equitable apportionment method.
If applicable,  the  aggregation  of  tax  basis  of  a  Unitholder  effectively
prohibits  a  Unitholder  from  choosing among  Units  with  varying  amounts of
inherent gain or loss to control the timing of the recognition of such  inherent
gain  or loss as would be possible in  a stock transaction. Thus, the IRS ruling
may result in an acceleration of gain or deferral of loss on a sale of a portion
of a Unitholder's Units. It is not clear whether such ruling applies to publicly
traded partnerships,  such  as  the  Partnership, the  interests  in  which  are
evidenced  by separate registered certificates,  providing a verifiable means of
identifying each  separate  interest and  tracing  the purchase  price  of  such
interest. A Unitholder considering the purchase of additional Units or a sale of
Units  purchased at differing  prices should consult  his tax advisor  as to the
possible consequences of that IRS ruling.
 
                                       54
<PAGE>
    To the  extent that  a  portion of  the gain  upon  the sale  of a  Unit  is
attributable  to a  Unitholder's share  of "substantially  appreciated inventory
items" and  "unrealized receivables"  of  the Partnership,  as those  terms  are
defined  in Section 751  of the Code,  such portion will  be treated as ordinary
income.  Unrealized  receivables  include  (i)  to  the  extent  not  previously
includable  in Partnership income, any rights to pay for services rendered or to
be rendered and  (ii) amounts  that would be  subject to  recapture as  ordinary
income  if the Partnership had sold its assets at their fair market value at the
time of the transfer of a Unit.
 
    Gain from the sale or other disposition of a Unit may constitute  investment
income  under  Section 163(d)  of  the Code.  A  Unitholder must  report  to the
transfer agent of the Partnership (on behalf of the Partnership) any transfer of
Units. See "-- Information Return Filing Requirements."
 
    The treatment of distributions received  after a Unitholder has disposed  of
his  Units is  unclear. Such  a distribution  may be  fully taxable  as ordinary
income or  may  reduce a  Unitholder's  tax basis  for  the Units  disposed  of,
resulting in a larger gain or smaller loss from such disposition.
 
    TRANSFEROR/TRANSFEREE ALLOCATIONS
 
    In  general,  the Partnership's  taxable  income and  losses  are determined
annually and are prorated on a monthly basis and subsequently apportioned  among
the  Unitholders in proportion  to the number of  Units owned by  them as of the
opening of the New York  Stock Exchange on the last  business day of the  month.
However,   extraordinary  gain  or  loss   realized  on  a  Terminating  Capital
Transaction is allocated among  the Unitholders of record  as of the opening  of
the NYSE on the date such Terminating Capital Transaction occurs. As a result of
this  monthly allocation, a Unitholder transferring Units in the open market may
be allocated  income,  gain,  loss,  deduction  and  credit  accrued  after  the
transfer.
 
    The  use of the monthly conventions discussed  above may not be permitted by
existing Treasury Regulations and,  accordingly, Counsel is  unable to opine  on
the  validity  of the  method of  allocating income  and deductions  between the
transferors and transferees of  Units. If the IRS  treats transfers of Units  as
occurring  throughout each month and a monthly  convention is not allowed by the
regulations (or  only applies  to transfers  of  less than  all of  a  partner's
interest),  the IRS may contend that taxable income or losses of the Partnership
must be reallocated among the Partners.  If any such contention were  sustained,
certain  Unitholders'  respective  tax  liabilities  would  be  adjusted  to the
possible detriment  of  other  Unitholders.  The  Managing  General  Partner  is
authorized  to revise the Partnership's method of allocation between transferors
and transferees (as well as among Partners whose interests otherwise vary during
a taxable period) to comply with any future regulations.
 
    CONSTRUCTIVE TERMINATION OR DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP
 
    Under Section 708(b)(l)(B) of the Code, a partnership will be considered  to
have been terminated if within a twelve-month period there is a sale or exchange
of  50%  or  more  of  the  interests  in  partnership  capital  and  profits. A
termination results  in a  closing of  the partnership's  taxable year  for  all
partners, and the partnership's assets are treated as having been distributed to
the  partners and reconveyed to the partnership,  which is then treated as a new
partnership.  A  constructive  termination  of  the  Partnership  will  cause  a
termination  of the Operating Partnership. In the case of a Unitholder reporting
on a fiscal year other than  a calendar year, the closing  of a tax year of  the
Partnership may result in more than twelve months' taxable income or loss of the
Partnership  being includable in his taxable income for the year of termination.
In addition, each Unitholder  will realize taxable gain  to the extent that  any
money  distributed or deemed distributed to  him (including any net reduction in
his share of the Partnership's nonrecourse liabilities) exceeds the tax basis of
his Units.
 
    A termination of either Partnership under Section 708(b)(l)(B) could  result
in  adverse tax consequences to Unitholders because  it could result in a change
in the tax basis for the Partnership's properties and would require that new tax
elections be made by the reconstituted partnerships. In
 
                                       55
<PAGE>
addition,  such  a  termination  could  result  in  a  deferral  of  Partnership
depreciation  deductions. Further, such a  termination may either accelerate the
application of (or subject the reconstituted partnerships to the application of)
any change in law effective as of a date after the termination.
 
    The Partnership may not  have the ability to  determine when a  constructive
termination  occurs as a result of transfers  of Units because the Units will be
freely transferable under "street name" ownership. Thus, the Partnership may  be
subject to penalty for failure to file a tax return and may fail to make certain
Partnership elections in a timely manner, including the Section 754 Election.
 
    PARTNERSHIP INCOME TAX INFORMATION RETURNS AND PARTNERSHIP AUDIT PROCEDURES
 
    The  Partnership will use all reasonable efforts to furnish Unitholders with
tax information within 75 days after the close of each Partnership taxable year.
Specifically, the Partnership intends to  furnish to each Unitholder a  Schedule
K-1  which sets  forth his allocable  share of the  Partnership's income, gains,
losses, deductions  and credits,  if  any. In  preparing such  information,  the
Managing  General Partner will necessarily  use various accounting and reporting
conventions to determine  each Unitholder's  allocable share  of income,  gains,
losses,  deductions and credits. There is no assurance that any such conventions
will yield a result that conforms  to the requirements of the Code,  regulations
thereunder  or administrative  pronouncements of  the IRS.  The Managing General
Partner cannot assure prospective Unitholders that the IRS will not contend that
such accounting and reporting conventions are impermissible. Contesting any such
allegations could result in substantial expense to the Partnership. In addition,
if the IRS were  to prevail, Unitholders may  incur substantial liabilities  for
taxes and interest.
 
    The  federal income tax information returns  filed by the Partnership may be
audited by  the  IRS.  The  Code  contains  partnership  audit  procedures  that
significantly  simplify the manner in which IRS audit adjustments of partnership
items are  resolved. Adjustments  (if  any) resulting  from  such an  audit  may
require  each Unitholder to file an amended  tax return, and possibly may result
in an audit of the Unitholder's return. Any audit of a Unitholder's return could
result in adjustments of non-partnership as well as partnership items.
 
    Under Sections 6221  through 6233  of the Code,  partnerships generally  are
treated as separate entities for purposes of federal tax audits, judicial review
of administrative adjustments by the IRS and tax settlement proceedings. The tax
treatment  of partnership items  of income, gain, loss,  deduction and credit is
determined at the partnership level  in a unified partnership proceeding  rather
than  in  separate proceedings  with  the partners.  The  Code provides  for one
partner to be designated  as the "Tax Matters  Partner" for these purposes.  The
Partnership  Agreement appoints the Managing General  Partner as the Tax Matters
Partner for the Partnership.
 
    The Tax Matters Partner is entitled  to make certain elections on behalf  of
the  Partnership and Unitholders  and can extend the  statute of limitations for
assessment of tax deficiencies against  Unitholders with respect to  Partnership
items. In connection with adjustments to partnership tax returns proposed by the
IRS, the Tax Matters Partner may bind any Unitholder with less than a 1% profits
interest  in the Partnership to a settlement  with the IRS unless the Unitholder
elects, by filing a statement  with the IRS, not to  give such authority to  the
Tax  Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner may seek judicial review (to which
all the Unitholders are bound) of a final Partnership administrative  adjustment
and,  if the Tax Matters Partner fails  to seek judicial review, such review may
be sought  by  any Unitholder  having  at least  a  1% profit  interest  in  the
Partnership  and by Unitholders having, in the  aggregate, at least a 5% profits
interest. Only  one  judicial proceeding  will  go forward,  however,  and  each
Unitholder with an interest in the outcome may participate.
 
    The  Unitholders will  generally be required  to treat  Partnership items on
their federal income tax  returns in a manner  consistent with the treatment  of
the  items on the  Partnership information return.  In general, that consistency
requirement is  waived  if  the  Unitholder  files  a  statement  with  the  IRS
identifying  the inconsistency. Failure to  satisfy the consistency requirement,
if not waived, will result in an adjustment to conform the treatment of the item
by the Unitholder to the treatment on
 
                                       56
<PAGE>
the  Partnership  return.  Even  if  the  consistency  requirement  is   waived,
adjustments  to the Unitholder's tax liability with respect to Partnership items
may result from an  audit of the Partnership's  or the Unitholder's tax  return.
Intentional  or negligent disregard of the consistency requirement may subject a
Unitholder to substantial penalties.
 
    INFORMATION RETURN FILING REQUIREMENTS
 
    A Unitholder who sells  or exchanges Units is  required by Section 6050K  of
the  Code to notify the Partnership in writing of such sale or exchange, and the
Partnership is required  to notify the  IRS of such  transaction and to  furnish
certain  information to the transferor  and transferee. However, these reporting
requirements do not  apply with  respect to  a sale by  an individual  who is  a
citizen  of the  United States and  who effects  such sale through  a broker. In
addition, a transferor and a transferee of a Unit will be required to furnish to
the IRS the amount of the consideration received for such Unit that is allocated
to goodwill or going concern value  of the Partnership. Failure to satisfy  such
reporting obligations may lead to the imposition of substantial penalties.
 
    NOMINEE REPORTING
 
    Under  Section 6031  (c) of the  Code, persons  who hold an  interest in the
Partnership as a nominee for another  person must report certain information  to
the  Partnership. Temporary  Treasury Regulations provide  that such information
should include (i) the name, address  and taxpayer identification number of  the
beneficial  owners and the nominee;  (ii) whether the beneficial  owner is (a) a
person that  is  not  a United  States  person,  (b) a  foreign  government,  an
international  organization  or any  wholly owned  agency or  instrumentality of
either of  the foregoing,  or (c)  a  tax-exempt entity;  (iii) the  amount  and
description  of Units held,  acquired or transferred  for the beneficial owners;
and (iv) certain information including the dates of acquisitions and  transfers,
means of acquisitions and transfers, and acquisition cost for purchases, as well
as the amount of net proceeds from sales. Brokers and financial institutions are
required  to furnish additional information, including whether they are a United
States person and certain  information on Units they  acquire, hold or  transfer
for their own account. A penalty of $50 per failure (up to a maximum of $100,000
per  calendar year)  is imposed  for failure to  report such  information to the
Partnership. The nominee is required to supply the beneficial owner of the Units
with the information furnished to the Partnership.
 
STATE AND OTHER TAXES
 
    In addition to  federal income taxes,  Unitholders may be  subject to  other
taxes,  such as state and local income taxes, unincorporated business taxes, and
estate, inheritance  or intangible  taxes that  may be  imposed by  the  various
jurisdictions  in which the Partners reside  or in which either Partnership does
business or owns property. Although an analysis of those various taxes cannot be
presented here, each prospective Unitholder should consider the potential impact
of such taxes on  his investment in the  Partnership. The Operating  Partnership
owns  property  and does  business in  40  states. A  Unitholder will  likely be
required to file state income tax returns in such states (other than states such
as Texas  and Florida  not having  a state  income tax  or states  in which  the
Partnership  is required or has  elected to withhold and  pay taxes on behalf of
the Unitholders) and may be subject to penalties for failure to comply with such
requirements. In addition, an obligation to file tax returns or to pay taxes may
arise in other states. Moreover, in certain states, tax losses may not produce a
tax benefit in the  year incurred (if,  for example, the  Partner has no  income
from  sources within that state) and also  may not be available to offset income
in subsequent taxable years.
 
    It is the responsibility of  each prospective Unitholder to investigate  the
legal and tax consequences, under the laws of pertinent states or localities, of
his  investment  in the  Partnership.  Accordingly, each  prospective Unitholder
should consult, and must depend upon, his own tax counsel or other advisor  with
regard to those matters. Further, it is the responsibility of each Unitholder to
file  all state and local, as well as  federal, tax returns that may be required
of such Unitholder.

INVESTMENT IN THE PARTNERSHIP BY EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
   
    An investment in the Partnership by  an employee benefit plan is subject  to
certain  additional  considerations because  the investments  of such  plans are
subject to the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act  of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"),  and
restrictions  imposed by  Section 4975  of the  Code. As  used herein,  the term
"employee benefit  plan" includes,  but is  not limited  to, qualified  pension,
profit-sharing  and stock bonus plans,  Keogh plans, Simplified Employee Pension
Plans, and tax deferred annuities or Individual Retirement Accounts  established
or  maintained  by an  employer or  employee  organization. Among  other things,
consideration should be given  to (a) whether such  investment is prudent  under
Section  404(a)(1)(B) of ERISA; (b) whether  in making such investment such plan
will satisfy the diversification requirement  of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of  ERISA;
and (c) (i) the fact that such investment could result in recognition of UBIT by
such  plan even if there is  no net income, (ii) the  effect of an imposition of
income taxes  on the  potential investment  return for  an otherwise  tax-exempt
investor,  and (iii) whether,  as a result  of the investment,  the plan will be
required to file an exempt organization business income tax return with the IRS.
See "Federal  Income  Tax  Considerations  -- Tax  Treatment  of  Operations  --
Tax-Exempt  Entities, Regulated Investment Companies and Foreign Investors." The
person with investment  discretion with  respect to  the assets  of an  employee
benefit  plan  (a "fiduciary")  should determine  whether  an investment  in the
Partnership is  authorized by  the  appropriate governing  instrument and  is  a
proper investment for such plan.
    
 
    In addition, a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan should consider whether
such  plan will, by investing in the  Partnership, be deemed to own an undivided
interest in the  assets of the  Partnership, with the  result that the  Managing
General Partner also would be a fiduciary of such plan and the Partnership would
be  subject to  the regulatory restrictions  of ERISA,  including its prohibited
transaction rules, as well as the prohibited transaction rules of the Code.
 
    Section 406 of ERISA  and Section 4975  of the Code  (which also applies  to
Individual  Retirement Accounts  which are  not considered  part of  an employee
benefit plan)  prohibit  an  employee  benefit plan  from  engaging  in  certain
transactions involving "plan assets" with parties that are "parties in interest"
under  ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the  Code with respect to the plan.
The Department of Labor issued final regulations on November 13, 1986, providing
guidance with  respect to  whether the  assets of  an entity  in which  employee
benefit  plans  acquire equity  interests would  be  deemed "plan  assets" under
certain circumstances. Pursuant to these  regulations, an entity's assets  would
not  be considered to  be "plan assets"  if, among other  things, (i) the equity
interests acquired by  employee benefit plans  are publicly offered  securities,
i.e.,  the equity interests are widely held by 100 or more investors independent
of the issuer  and each other,  freely transferable and  registered pursuant  to
certain  provisions  of  the federal  securities  laws,  (ii) the  entity  is an
"operating company", i.e., it is primarily engaged in the production or sale  of
a  product or service  other than the  investment of capital  either directly or
through a  majority-owned  subsidiary or  subsidiaries,  or (iii)  there  is  no
significant  investment by benefit plan investors, which is defined to mean that
less than  25% of  the value  of  each class  of equity  interest  (disregarding
certain  interests  held by  the Managing  General  Partner, its  affiliates and
certain other persons) is held by employee benefit plans (as defined in  Section
3(3)  of ERISA), whether or not they are subject to the provisions of Title I of
ERISA, plans described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, and any entities whose
underlying assets include plan assets by  reason of a plan's investments in  the
entity.  The Partnership's  assets would not  be considered  "plan assets" under
these regulations because it  is expected that the  investment will satisfy  the
requirements  in (i)  above, and  also may  satisfy requirements  (ii) and (iii)
above.

</TABLE>
    
 
    The  Underwriting Agreement provides that  the Underwriters are obligated to
purchase all  of the  Units offered  hereby  (other than  those covered  by  the
over-allotment  option described  below) if  any such  Units are  purchased. The
Partnership has  been  advised  by the  Representatives  that  the  Underwriters
propose  to offer the Units to the public at the offering price set forth on the
cover page  of this  Prospectus and  to certain  dealers at  such price  less  a
concession  not in excess of  $.      per Unit. The  Underwriters may allow, and
such dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess  of $.     per Unit to  other
dealers.  The public offering price and  the concessions and discount to dealers
may be changed by the Underwriters after the Offering.
 
    The Partnership has granted to the  Underwriters an option, expiring on  the
close  of business on the 30th day subsequent to the date of this Prospectus, to
purchase up to an  additional 270,000 Units at  the public offering price,  less
underwriting  discount,  as shown  on  the cover  page  of this  Prospectus. The
Underwriters may  exercise  such  option  solely for  the  purpose  of  covering
over-allotments  incurred  in the  sale of  the  Units. To  the extent  that the
Underwriters exercise  such  option,  each Underwriter  will  become  obligated,
subject  to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of
such  additional  Units  as  the  number  of  Units  set  forth  next  to   such
Underwriter's name in the preceding table bears to the total offered initially.
 
    The Partnership has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters and certain
related  persons or to contribute to  losses arising out of certain liabilities,
including liabilities  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended  (the
"Securities   Act").  Insofar  as  the   Underwriters  may  be  indemnified  for
liabilities arising  under  the  Securities Act  pursuant  to  the  Underwriting
Agreement,  the  Partnership  has  been  advised  that  in  the  opinion  of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
    With certain  limited exceptions,  the Partnership  and certain  Unitholders
have  agreed not to offer, sell, contract  to sell, grant any option to purchase
or otherwise  dispose (or  announce any  offer,  sale, grant  of any  option  to
purchase or other disposition) of any Units, or any securities convertible into,
or exercisable or exchangeable for, Units for a period of 180 days from the date
of this Prospectus, without the prior written consent of the Representatives.
 
                                       59
<PAGE>
    The  Partnership has agreed to pay Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. a financial
advisory fee equal  to $200,000. Such  fee is  payable upon the  closing of  the
Offering.
 
    The  Underwriters do not intend to sell Units to any account over which they
exercise discretionary authority.
 
    The foregoing does not purport to be  a complete statement of the terms  and
conditions  of the Underwriting Agreement and related documents, a copy of which
has been  filed  as an  exhibit  to the  Registration  Statement of  which  this
Prospectus is a part.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
    The validity of the Units to be issued by the Partnership in connection with
the  Offering will be passed  on by Middleberg, Riddle  & Gianna, Dallas, Texas.
Certain matters will be  passed upon for the  Underwriters by Haynes and  Boone,
L.L.P., Dallas, Texas.

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
    The  following March 31, 1996 unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet
of U.S. Restaurant Properties  Master L.P. (the  "Partnership") consists of  the
Partnership's  March 31,  1996 balance  sheet adjusted on  a pro  forma basis to
reflect as of March 31, 1996: (a) the purchase of 69 properties and sale of  one
property since April 1, 1996; (b) the acquisition of 39 properties under binding
contracts  with the assumption of related tenant and ground leases (all of which
are  treated  as  operating  leases  based  on  preliminary  assessments);   (c)
additional  borrowings to purchase the properties; and (d) the issuance and sale
by the Partnership in  this Offering of 1,800,000  Units and the application  of
the net proceeds therefrom. All properties acquired and under contract have been
accounted  for using the purchase method  of accounting. The unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Balance  Sheet is  not necessarily  indicative of  what the  actual
financial  position of the Partnership would have been at March 31, 1996 had all
of these transactions occurred and it  does not purport to represent the  future
financial position of the Partnership.
 
    The  unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated  Statement of Income for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996 is presented as if the following had occurred as of
January 1, 1996: (a) adjustments to operations for 24 properties acquired during
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and  the purchase of 69 properties and sale  of
one  property since April  1, 1996; (b)  the acquisition of  39 properties under
contract with the assumption of related  tenant and ground leases (all of  which
are   treated  as  operating  leases  based  on  preliminary  assessments);  (c)
additional borrowings to purchase the properties;  (d) the issuance and sale  by
the  Partnership in this Offering of 1,800,000  Units and the application of the
net proceeds therefrom. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement
of Income is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations
of the Partnership would have been assuming the transactions described above had
been completed  as of  January 1,  1996 nor  do they  purport to  represent  the
results of operations for future periods.
 
    The  unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated  Statement of Income for the
year ended December 31, 1995 is presented as if the following had occurred as of
January 1, 1995:  (a) the purchase  of 16 properties  acquired on various  dates
from  March 1995 through  December 1995; (b)  the purchase of  93 properties and
sale of one property completed since January 1, 1996; (c) the acquisition of  39
properties  under  contract with  the assumption  of  related tenant  and ground
leases (all  of which  are  treated as  operating  leases based  on  preliminary
assessments);  (c)  additional  borrowings  to  purchase  the  properties  under
contract; and (d) the issuance and sale  by the Partnership in this Offering  of
1,800,000  Units and the application of the net proceeds therefrom. The purchase
and operations of the properties are  being included in the pro forma  financial
statements  because (a) 93 of such properties have already been acquired and (b)
the proceeds of the Offering are being  used to acquire the 39 properties  under
contract  and the Partnership presently intends to consummate such acquisitions.
The unaudited  Pro  Forma Condensed  Consolidated  Statement of  Income  is  not
necessarily  indicative  of  what  the  actual  results  of  operations  of  the
Partnership would have been assuming  the transactions described above had  been
completed  as of January 1, 1995 nor do they purport to represent the results of
operations for future periods.
 
    These  pro  forma  consolidated  financial  statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction with all of the financial statements and the notes thereto contained
elsewhere in this Prospectus. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary
to properly reflect the above indicated transactions have been made.

The Partners
U.S. Restaurant Properties Master L.P.
 
    We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of U.S.
Restaurant Properties Master L.P. (the Partnership) as of December 31, 1995  and
1994,  and the related consolidated statements of income, partners' capital, and
cash flows for each of  the three years in the  period ended December 31,  1995.
These   financial  statements  are  the   responsibility  of  the  Partnership's
management. Our  responsibility is  to  express an  opinion on  these  financial
statements based on our audits.
 
    We  conducted  our audits  in  accordance with  generally  accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to  obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also  includes
assessing  the  accounting principles  used  and significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement  presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In  our opinion, such  consolidated financial statements  present fairly, in
all material  respects, the  financial position  of U.S.  Restaurant  Properties
Master  L.P.  as  of  December 31,  1995  and  1994, and  the  results  of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                    U.S. RESTAURANTS PROPERTIES MASTER L.P.
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
              YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994 AND 1995 AND FOR
             THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1996 (UNAUDITED)
 
1.  ORGANIZATION
    U.S.  Restaurant Properties Master L.P.  (Partnership), formerly Burger King
Investors Master L.P., a  Delaware limited partnership,  was formed on  December
10,  1985. The Partnership, through its 99% limited partnership interest in U.S.
Restaurant Properties  Operating  Limited Partnership  (Operating  Partnership),
also a Delaware Limited Partnership, acquired from Burger King Corporation (BKC)
in  February  1986  for $94,592,000  an  interest in  128  restaurant properties
(Properties) owned or leased by BKC and leased or subleased on a net lease basis
to BKC franchisees. The Partnership is the sole limited partner of the Operating
Partnership, and they are referred  to collectively as the "Partnerships".  U.S.
Restaurant  Properties, Inc., formerly QSV Properties, Inc., (QSV), the managing
general partner  and  BKC,  the  special general  partner,  were  both  indirect
wholly-owned  subsidiaries of Grand  Metropolitan PLC prior to  May 17, 1994, at
which time  QSV  was sold  to  the current  owners.  On January  20,  1995,  the
Partnership  paid Burger King Corporation $16,000  for its 0.02% interest in the
Operating and Master Limited Partnership.
 
    The  Partnership  may  issue  an  unlimited  number  of  units.  The   units
outstanding  as  of  December 31,  1994  and  1995 and  March  31,  1996 totaled
4,635,000, 4,659,167 and 4,987,003 respectively.
 
2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The financial statements  have been  prepared in  accordance with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles;  however,  this  will  not  be  the  basis for
reporting taxable income  to unitholders  (see Note  9 for  a reconciliation  of
financial  reporting income to taxable income). The financial statements reflect
the consolidated accounts of the  Partnerships after elimination of  significant
inter-partnership transactions.
 
    Cash  and  equivalents include  short-term,  highly liquid  investments with
original maturities of three months or less.
 
    Marketable securities consist  of U.S. treasury  securities which have  been
treated  as trading securities  as of December  31, 1994. As  a result, they are
stated at market value.
 
    An intangible  asset  was recorded  for  the excess  of  cost over  the  net
investment  in direct financing leases in 1986. This intangible asset represents
the acquired value of future contingent rent receipts (based on a percentage  of
each restaurant's sales) and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years.
 
    Also  included in  intangible assets is  the amount paid  to acquire certain
leases with favorable rents payable to third party lessors. This amount is being
amortized over the remaining lease terms.
 
    DEPRECIATION
 
    Depreciation is  computed  using  the straight-line  method  over  estimated
useful lives of 10 to 20 years for financial statement purposes. Accelerated and
straight-line methods are used for tax purposes.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The  preparation  of  financial  statements,  in  conformity  with generally
accepted accounting  principles,  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect  reported amounts  of certain  assets, liabilities, and
revenues and expenses as  of and for the  reporting periods. Actual results  may
differ from such estimates.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
    In  March 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to  be
Disposed  of"  was  issued.  The  Partnerships adopted  SFAS  No.  121  in 1995.
Long-lived assets include real estate, direct financing leases, and  intangibles
which  are evaluated on an individual property basis. Based on the Partnership's
policy for reviewing impairment  of long-lived assets,  there was no  adjustment
necessary to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
    INCOME TAXES
 
    No  federal  or, in  most cases,  state  income taxes  are reflected  in the
consolidated financial  statements  because  the Partnerships  are  not  taxable
entities.  The partners must report their  allocable shares of taxable income or
loss in their individual income tax returns.
 
    FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The notes receivable  and the  line of credit  are carried  at amounts  that
approximate their fair value.
 
    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
    In  October  1995,  Statement  of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation," was issued,  effective for  calendar
year  1996. This statement applies to transactions in which an entity issues its
equity instruments  to  acquire  goods or  services  from  non-employees.  Those
transactions  must be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration
received or the fair value of  the equity instruments issued, whichever is  more
reliably measurable. The Partnership has not completed the process of evaluating
the impact that will result from adopting such statement and therefore is unable
to  disclose the  impact the  adoption will have  on its  financial position and
results of operations. Additionally, the  effect of adopting the statement  will
depend on the calculated value of the units issued and the extent to which units
are used in acquiring real estate properties in the future.

3.  OTHER BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
    Total  purchase  deposits  of  $1,791,682  at  December  31,  1995  included
$1,075,000 of non-refundable deposits.
 
    On December 31, 1995, the Partnerships  owned the land at 79 Properties  and
leased  the  land at  60  Properties from  third  party lessors  under operating
leases. The Partnerships in turn leased  or subleased the land primarily to  BKC
franchisees under operating leases.
 
    On December 31, 1995, the Partnerships owned the buildings on 124 Properties
and  leased the buildings on 14 Properties from third party lessors under leases
accounted for as capital leases. The Partnerships own one property in which only
the land is  owned and  leased. The Partnerships  leased 28  owned buildings  to
franchisees  under operating leases. These 28  buildings are stated at cost, net
of accumulated depreciation, on the balance sheet. A total of 109 buildings  are
leased   primarily  to  franchisees  under  direct  financing  leases.  The  net
investment in the direct  financing leases represents the  present value of  the
future  minimum  lease receipts  for these  109 buildings.  One property  is not
currently leased.
 
    On December  31,  1995,  there  were 138  Partnership  restaurant  sites  in
operation,  and there was one  closed site. The Partnerships  continue to seek a
suitable tenant for the  remaining site. The write-down  of the closed site  was
$11,061 and $73,739 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
4.  PROPERTY PURCHASES IN 1996
    During  the  first  quarter the  Partnership  completed the  purchase  of 24
properties.  Nine  of  the  properties  were  purchased  for  a  cash  price  of
$4,426,264.  These properties included three Dairy  Queens, two KFCs and a Pizza
Inn. Fifteen of  the properties  were purchased for  a combination  of cash  and
units.  The total purchase  price included $5,500,477 in  cash and 327,836 units
with a guaranteed value of $7,839,800. Of the 327,836 partnership units  issued,
28,261  units are guaranteed to have a market  value of $23 three years from the
transaction date and 299,575 partnership units  are guaranteed to have a  market
value  of  $24 two  years from  that  transaction date.  All 327,836  units have
certain registration rights. The properties included thirteen Burger Kings,  one
Sizzler,  and one  Taco Cabana.  The allocation  of the  cost of  the properties
purchased is done on a preliminary basis  during the year and will be  finalized
at year end.
 
    In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Partnership  may  sign purchase
agreements to  acquire restaurant  properties.  Such agreements  become  binding
obligations  upon the completion of a  due diligence period ranging usually from
15 - 30 days.
 
    On March 31,  1996, purchase  deposits included earnest  money amounting  to
$1,779,000  for  the purchase  of 29  Burger Kings,  five Schlotskys',  37 Dairy
Queens, 27 Hardees, and nine Pizza Huts.
 
5.  GUARANTEED STOCK PRICE
   
    Three properties were acquired  on October 10, 1995,  with a combination  of
cash  and 54,167 partnership units. The partnership units are guaranteed to have
a value of $24 per unit three years from the transaction date. The unit price on
the date issued was $18 3/8. Any difference between the guaranteed value and the
actual value of the units at the end of  the three year period is to be paid  in
cash.  These  properties were  recorded  at the  guaranteed  value of  the units
discounted to  reflect the  present value  on  the date  the units  were  issued
(estimated  fair value). As a result, the market  price of the units at the date
of issuance was used to record this  transaction. If a cash payment is  required
as  a result of the guarantee, an  adjustment will be made to reduce partnership
capital for the amount of cash paid.
    
 
    During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership issued 327,836  for
the  acquisition of properties.  Of these units, 28,261  units are guaranteed to
have a market value of $23 three years from

the transaction date and 299,575 units are guaranteed to have a market value  of
$24  two  years  from the  transaction  date.  The accounting  described  in the
paragraph above was used to record these transactions. They were recorded  using
current market prices at the date of issuance of approximately $20 per unit.
 
6.  LINE OF CREDIT
    On  December 31, 1995, $10,930,647 had been drawn on the $20 million line of
credit. The line of  credit was increased in  February 1996 to $40,000,000  with
substantially  all properties included as collateral on this line of credit. The
interest rate is  the lower of  LIBOR plus 180  basis points or  the prime  rate
which was 8.25% on March 31, 1996. There is an unused line of credit fee of .25%
per  annum  on  the average  daily  excess  of the  commitment  amount  over the
aggregate unpaid balance of the revolving  loan which is charged and is  payable
on  a quarterly basis. The LIBOR rate at December 31, 1995, was 5.375%. The line
of credit also  requires the Partnerships  to maintain a  tangible net worth  in
excess  of $40,500,000, a debt to tangible net  worth ratio of not more than 0.5
to 1, and a cash flow  coverage ratio of not less than  2 to 1 based upon a  pro
forma  five year bank debt amortization. The  $40 million line of credit matures
on June 27, 1998.
 
7.  INVESTMENTS AND COMMITMENTS AS LESSOR
    The Partnerships lease land and buildings primarily to BKC franchisees.  The
building  portions of most of  the leases are direct  financing leases while the
land portions are operating leases. The  leases generally provide for a term  of
20  years from the opening of the related restaurant, and do not contain renewal
options. The Partnerships, however,  have agreed to renew  a franchise lease  if
BKC renews or extends the lessee's franchise agreement. As of December 31, 1995,
the  remaining lease  terms ranged from  1 to  28 years. The  leases provide for
minimum rents and contingent  rents based on a  percentage of each  restaurant's
sales, and require the franchisee to pay executory costs.

    If  the restaurant properties are not  adequately maintained during the term
of the tenant leases, such properties may  have to be rebuilt before the  leases
can  be renewed, either by the Partnership as it considers necessary or pursuant
to Burger King's  successor policy. The  successor policy, which  is subject  to
change  from time to time in Burger  King's discretion, is intended to encourage
the reconstruction,  expansion,  or  other  improvement  of  older  Burger  King
restaurants and generally affects properties that are more than ten years old or
are the subject of a franchise agreement that will expire within five years.
 
    Under  the current  partnership agreement,  Burger King  can require  that a
restaurant property be rebuilt.  If the tenant does  not elect to undertake  the
rebuilding,  the Partnership would be required  to make the required improvement
itself. However, as a condition to requiring the Partnership to rebuild,  Burger
King  would be  required to  pay the  Partnership its  percentage share ("Burger
King's Percentage Share") of the  rebuilding costs. Such percentage share  would
be  equal to (i)  the average franchise  royalty fee percentage  rate payable to
Burger King with respect  to such restaurant, divided  by (ii) the aggregate  of
such  average franchise royalty  fee percentage rate  and the average percentage
rate payable to the  Partnership with respect to  such restaurant property.  The
managing  general  partner believes  that Burger  King's Percentage  Share would
typically be 29% for a restaurant property.
 
    The managing  general partner  believes  it is  unlikely that  any  material
amount  of rebuilding of  Burger King restaurant properties  will be required in
the next several years, if ever.
 
8.  COMMITMENTS
    The land at 46 Properties  and the land and  buildings at 14 Properties  are
leased  by the Partnerships  from third party lessors.  The building portions of
the leases are generally  capital leases while the  land portions are  operating
leases.  Commitment leases provide for an original term of 20 years and most are
renewable at the Partnership's  option. As of December  31, 1995, the  remaining
lease  terms (excluding renewal option terms) ranged  from 1 to 11 years. If all
renewal options are taken into

contingent rent based on each restaurant's sales.

9.  RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL REPORTING INCOME TO TAXABLE INCOME
    Financial reporting  income differs  from taxable  income primarily  because
generally  accepted accounting principles reflect the building portion of leases
from Partnerships to franchisees as a net investment in direct financing leases.
For tax purposes,  these leases are  treated as operating  leases. In  addition,
differences exist in depreciation methods and asset lives.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    The  managing general partner  is responsible for  managing the business and
affairs of the Partnerships. The Partnerships pay the managing general partner a
non-accountable annual allowance (adjusted annually to reflect increases in  the
Consumer  Price Index),  plus reimbursement  of out-of-pocket  costs incurred to
other parties for services rendered to  the Partnerships. The allowance for  the
years  ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995,  and March 31, 1995 and 1996 was
$528,000,  $542,508,  $585,445,   $139,018  and   $198,681,  respectively.   The
Partnerships'  accounts payable balance includes  $187,204 and $135,627 for this
allowance as of December 31, 1995  and 1994, respectively. The managing  general
partner  paid  no  out-of-pocket  costs  to  other  parties  on  behalf  of  the
Partnerships during 1993, 1994, and 1995.
 
    To compensate the  Managing General  Partner for its  efforts and  increased
internal  expenses with respect  to additional properties,  the Partnership will
pay the  Managing General  Partner,  with respect  to each  additional  property
purchased:  (i) a one-time acquisition fee equal  to one percent of the purchase
price for such  property and  (ii) an  annual fee equal  to one  percent of  the
purchase  price for such property, adjusted  for increases in the Consumer Price
Index. For 1995 and the quarter  ended March 31, 1996, the one-time  acquisition
fee  equaled $109,238 and $154,251, respectively, which was capitalized, and the
increase in  the  non-accountable  annual  fee  for  1995  equaled  $29,375.  In
addition,  if the Rate of Return (as defined) on the Partnership's equity in all
additional properties exceeds  12 percent  per annum  for any  fiscal year,  the
Managing  General Partner will be paid an  additional fee equal to 25 percent of
the cash flow received with respect  to such additional properties in excess  of
the  cash flow representing a 12 percent Rate of Return thereon. However, to the
extent such  distributions  are  ultimately received  by  the  Managing  General
Partner  in excess of  those provided by its  1.98 percent Partnership interest,
they will reduce  the fee  payable with  respect to  such excess  flow from  any
additional properties.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
    In  1994, the Partnerships  with the consent  and financial participation of
BKC, continued rent relief for three properties.
 
    In 1993, the Partnerships sold two non-operating properties at slightly less
than their book values to BKC. At that time, BKC was the special general partner
and had an ownership interest of 0.02% in the Partnerships.
 
    The managing general partner has agreed to make available to the Partnership
an unsecured, interest-free, revolving line of credit in the principal amount of
$500,000 to  provide the  Partnerships  with the  necessary working  capital  to
minimize  or  avoid  seasonal  fluctuation  in  the  amount  of  quarterly  cash
distributions. No loans  were made or  were outstanding at  any time during  the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995.
 
    A  note receivable of $255,000 and $300,000 is due from Arkansas Restaurants
#10 L.P.  at  December 31,  1995  and March  31,  1996, respectively.  The  note
receivable  is due on  September 1, 1996, and  has an interest  rate of 9.0% per
annum.
 
    As of December  31, 1995 and  March 31, 1996,  the managing general  partner
owned 90% of Arkansas Restaurants #10 L.P.
 
    On  March 17, 1995 the limited partners granted the managing general partner
options to acquire  up to 400,000  units, subject to  certain adjustments  under
anti-dilution  provisions. The initial  exercise price of  each option is $15.50
which is the average closing price of  the depository receipts for the units  on
the New York Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately after the date
of  grant. The options are non-transferable except  by operation of law and vest
and become exercisable  on the first  anniversary of  the date as  of which  the
exercise  price is determined, subject to  earlier vesting and exercisability if
the managing general  partner is  removed as general  partner. The  term of  the
options  expires on the tenth  anniversary of the date  as of which the exercise
price is determined.
 
11. DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS
    Under the amended partnership  agreement, cash flow  from operations of  the
Partnerships  each year will be distributed  98.02% to the unitholders and 1.98%
to the  general  partners until  the  unitholders  have received  a  12%  simple
(noncumulative)  annual return for such year on the unrecovered capital per unit
($20.00,  reduced  by  any  prior  distributions  of  net  proceeds  of  capital
transactions);  then any cash flow  for such year will  be distributed 75.25% to
the unitholders and 24.75%  to the general partners  until the unitholders  have
received  a total simple (noncumulative) annual return for such year of 17.5% on
the unrecovered capital per unit;  and then any excess  cash flow for such  year
will  be  distributed  60.40%  to  the unitholders  and  39.60%  to  the general
partners. The unitholders  received 98.02%  of all cash  flow distributions  for
1995 and 98% for 1994 and 1993.
 
    Under   the  amended  partnership  agreement,   net  proceeds  from  capital
transactions (for example,  disposition of the  Properties) will be  distributed
98.02%  to  the  unitholders  and  1.98%  to  the  general  partners  until  the
unitholders have received an  amount equal to the  unrecovered capital per  unit
plus  12.0%  cumulative,  simple  return on  the  unrecovered  capital  per unit
outstanding from  time to  time  (to the  extent  not previously  received  from
distribution  of cash flow or proceeds of prior capital transactions); then such
proceeds will be distributed 75.25% to the unitholders and 24.75% to the general
partners until the unitholders have received the total cumulative, simple return
of 17.5% on the  unrecovered capital per  unit; and then  such proceeds will  be
distributed  60.40% to the unitholders and 39.60% to the general partners. There
were no capital transactions in 1995 or 1994.

11. DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS (CONTINUED)
    During 1993 two  non-operating properties  were sold at  slightly less  than
their  book values. Both dispositions were  capital transactions and resulted in
the special distributions to unitholders  of 11 cents and  13 cents per unit  on
September 13, and December 13, 1993, respectively.
 
    All  operating income  and loss of  the Partnership for  each year generally
will be allocated among the partners in the same aggregate ratio as cash flow is
distributed for that year.  Gain and loss from  a capital transaction  generally
will  be allocated among the partners in the same aggregate ratio as proceeds of
the capital  transactions are  distributed  except to  the extent  necessary  to
reflect capital account adjustments.

13. PRO FORMA (UNAUDITED)
    The  1995  acquisitions  consisted  of 16  properties  that  were  valued at
$10,731,187 based upon the purchase method of accounting. These properties  were
acquired  on various dates from  March 1995 through December  1995. Three of the
properties were  acquired with  a  combination of  cash and  54,167  partnership
units. The 54,167 partnership units are guaranteed to have a market value of $24

13. PRO FORMA (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
    The  following pro forma  information for the years  ended December 31, 1994
and 1995  was prepared  by  adjusting the  actual  consolidated results  of  the
Partnership  for the years ended  December 31, 1994 and  1995 for the effects of
the 1995  acquisitions  as  if  all  such  acquisitions  and  related  financing
transactions  including the issuance of 54,167  units had occurred on January 1,
1994. Interest expense  for pro forma  purposes was calculated  assuming a  7.7%
interest rate for both years presented, which approximates the interest rate the
Partnership paid during 1995.
 
    The  following pro forma  information for the quarters  ended March 31, 1995
and 1996  was prepared  by  adjusting the  actual  consolidated results  of  the
Partnership  for the quarters  ended March 31, 1995  and 1996, respectively, for
the effects of the 1995 and 1996 acquisitions as if all acquisitions and related
financing transactions including the  issuance of 54,167  and 327,836 units  had
occurred  on January  1, 1995 and  1996, respectively. Interest  expense for pro
forma purposes was  calculated assuming a  7.7% and 7.1%  interest rate for  the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, which approximates the rate
the Partnership paid during such quarters.
 
    These pro forma operating results are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual  results of operations of the Partnership would have been assuming all of
the properties were acquired as of January  1, 1994, 1995 and 1996, and they  do
not purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
    The Partnership Agreement provides that the Managing General Partner and its
affiliates,  officers, directors, agents,  and employees will  not be personally
liable to the Partnership or to any  of its Unitholders for any actions that  do
not  constitute actual fraud, gross negligence,  or willful or wanton misconduct
if the Managing General Partner or such other person acted (or failed to act) in
good faith and  in a  manner they  believed to  be in,  or not  opposed to,  the
interests  of the  Partnership. Therefore, the  Unitholders have  a more limited
right against  the Managing  General Partner  than they  would have  absent  the
limitations  in the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership also indemnifies the
Managing General Partner and such persons and entities against all  liabilities,
costs,  and expenses (including legal fees  and expenses) incurred by a Managing
General Partner or any such person or entity arising out of or incidental to the
business of the Partnership, including without limitation, liabilities under the
federal and state securities  laws if (i) the  Managing General Partner or  such
person  or entity  acted (or failed  to act)  in good faith  and in  a manner it
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the interests of the Partnership and, with
respect to any  criminal proceedings, had  no reasonable cause  to believe  such
conduct  was unlawful; and  (ii) the conduct  of the General  Partner or of such
person or entity did not constitute  actual fraud, gross negligence, or  willful
or  wanton  misconduct. A  successful  indemnification of  the  Managing General
Partner could deplete  the assets  of the Partnership  unless the  Partnership's
indemnification   obligation   is  covered   by  insurance.   The  Partnership's
indemnification  obligation   is  currently   not  covered   by  insurance.   No
determination  has been made whether to  attempt to secure such insurance, which
may not  be available  at  a reasonable  price or  at  all. Any  Unitholder  who
recovers from any indemnified party an amount for which the indemnified party is
entitled to indemnification will be personally liable to the Partnership and the
indemnified party (in aggregate) for and to the extent of such amount.
 
    Reference  is  made to  Section  7 of  the  Underwriting Agreement  filed as
Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement.
 
    Subject  to  any  terms,  conditions,  or  restrictions  set  forth  in  the
Partnership   Agreement,  Section   17-108  of  the   Delaware  Revised  Limited
Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify by and hold
harmless any partner or  other person from  and against any  and all claims  and
demands whatsoever.
 
                                      II-1
<PAGE>
    Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law sets forth the extent to
which  a person who is a director or officer of a Delaware corporation or serves
at the request  of a Delaware  corporation as a  director, officer, employee  or
agent  of any other  enterprise may be indemnified  against any liabilities they
may incur  in their  capacity as  such.  Article VIII  of the  Managing  General
Partner's  Bylaws provide for  the indemnification of  directors and officers of
the Managing General Partner  and such directors and  officers who serve at  the
request  of the Managing  General Partner as  directors, officers, employees, or
agents of  any  other  enterprise  against  certain  liabilities  under  certain
circumstances.

determining any liability under the Securities  Act of 1933, each filing of  the
Registrant's  annual report  pursuant to section  13(a) or section  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  the
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.
 
    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  foregoing provisions, or  otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that 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  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.
 
    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 a 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.
 
    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.

c/o Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     1.   UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT.   The undersigned Underwriters
("Underwriters") agree among themselves as follows with reference to their
proposed purchases severally from U.S. Restaurant Properties Master L.P. (the
"Partnership") of 1,800,000 Units of beneficial interest of the Partnership (the
"Firm Units") and the proposed purchase, severally, of up to an additional
270,000 Units (the "Option Units") from the Partnership.   The Firm Units and
the Option Units are collectively referred to herein as the "Units." Each
Underwriter will agree to purchase (a) the number of Firm Units set forth
opposite its name in Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement, and (b) that
portion of the Option Units as to which the option is exercised equal to the
proportion which such Underwriter's share of the number of the Firm Units bears
to the total number of the Firm Units.

     2.   REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS.   The Units are more
particularly described in a registration statement (Registration No. 333-02675)
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").   Amendments to such
registration statement (or a final prospectus, as contemplated by Rule 430A
under the 1933 Act) have been or are being filed in which, with our consent
hereby confirmed, we have been named as the underwriters of the Units.   A copy
of the registration statement as filed and a copy of each amendment as filed
(excluding exhibits) have heretofore been delivered to us.  We confirm that we
have examined the registration statement, including amendments thereto, relating
to the Units, as filed with the Commission, that we are willing to accept the
responsibilities of an Underwriter under the 1933 Act in respect of the
registration statement and we are willing to proceed with a public offering of
the Units in the manner described in the registration statement.  The
registration statement and the related prospectus may be further amended, but no
such amendment or change shall release or affect our obligations hereunder or
under the Underwriting Agreement.  As used herein, the terms "Registration
Statement," "Preliminary Prospectus" and "Prospectus" shall have the same
meanings as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

     3.   AUTHORITY OF THE REPRESENTATIVES.  We hereby authorize Morgan  Keegan
& Company, Inc., EVEREN Securities, Inc. and Southwest Securities,  Inc., acting
on our behalf, as our representatives (the "Representatives")  (a) to complete,
execute and deliver the Underwriting Agreement, to determine  the public
offering price of the Units and the underwriting discount with  respect thereto
and to make such variations, if any, as in your judgment are  appropriate and
are not material, provided that the aggregate number of Firm  Units set forth
opposite our respective names in Schedule A to the  Underwriting Agreement shall
not be increased without our consent, except as  provided herein, (b) to waive
performance or satisfaction by the Partnership  of obligations or conditions
included in the Underwriting Agreement, if in  your judgment such waiver will
not have a material adverse effect upon the  interests of the Underwriters, and
(c) to take such actions as in your  discretion may be necessary or advisable to
carry out the Underwriting  Agreement, this Agreement and the transactions for
the accounts of the  several Underwriters contemplated thereby and hereby.  We
also authorize you  to determine all matters relating to the public
advertisement of the Units.

     4.   PUBLIC OFFERING.  We authorize you, with respect to any Units which we
so agree to purchase, to reserve for sale, and on our behalf to sell, to the
dealers selected by you (including you or any of the other Underwriters, such
dealers so selected being hereinafter called "Selected Dealers") and to others,
all or part of our Units as you may determine.  Reservations for sales to
persons other than Selected Dealers shall be as nearly as

<PAGE>

practicable in proportion to the respective underwriting obligations of the
Underwriters, unless you agree to a small proportion at the request of an
Underwriter.  Reservations for sales to Selected Dealers need not be in  such
proportion.  All sales of reserved Units shall be as nearly as practicable in
proportion to the respective reservations as calculated from day to day.

     In your discretion, from time to time, you may add to the reserved Units
any Units retained by us remaining unsold, and you may upon our request release
to us any of our Units reserved but not sold.  Any Units so released shall not
thereafter be deemed to have been reserved.  Upon termination of this Agreement,
or prior thereto at your discretion, you shall deliver to us any of our Units
reserved but not sold and delivered, except that if the aggregate of all
reserved but unsold and undelivered Units is less than 180,000, you are
authorized to sell such Units for the accounts of the several Underwriters at
such price or prices as you may determine.  Sales of reserved Units shall be
made to Selected Dealers at the public offering price less a concession
initially not in excess of [$_____] per Unit (the "Selected Dealers'
Concession") and to others at the public offering price.  Underwriters and
Selected Dealers may reallow a portion of such concession not in excess of
[$_____] per Unit to any other members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), acting as principal or buyer's agent, provided such
member agrees that the reallowance is to be retained and not reallowed in whole
or in part and also agrees in writing to comply with Section 24 of Article III
of the Rules of Fair Practice of the NASD.

     After advice from you that the Units are released for sale to the public,
we will offer to the public in conformity with the terms of the offering set
forth in the Prospectus such Units as you advise us are reserved.  We authorize
you after Units are released for sale to the public, in your discretion, to
change the public offering price of the Units and the concession, and to buy
Units for our account from Selected Dealers at the public offering price less
such amount not in excess of the Selected Dealers' Concession as you may
determine.

     Sales of Units among Underwriters may be made with your prior consent, or
as you deem advisable for state securities law purposes.

     We agree that we will not sell to any accounts over which we exercise
discretionary authority.

     5.   ADDITIONAL PROVISION REGARDING SALES.  Any Units sold by us (otherwise
than through you) which you contract for or purchase in the open market or
otherwise for the account of any Underwriter shall be repurchased by us on
demand at the cost of such purchase plus commission and taxes on redelivery.
Units delivered on such repurchase need not be the identical Units purchased by
you.  In lieu of demanding repurchase by us, you may in your discretion (a) sell
for our account the Units so purchased by you, at such price and upon such terms
as you may determine, and debit or credit our account with the loss and expense
or net profit resulting from such sale or (b) charge our account with an amount
not in excess of the Selected Dealers' Concession with respect to such Units.
If we are a member of, or clear through a member of, the Depository Trust
Company ("DTC"), you, in your discretion, may deliver our Units through the
facilities of DTC.

     6.   PAYMENT AND DELIVERY.  At or before the Closing Time (as defined in
the Underwriting Agreement) and at the Date of Delivery (as defined in the
Underwriting Agreement), we will deliver to you at DTC or to the office of
Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. at 50 Front Street, Memphis, Tennessee 38103, a
certified or bank cashiers' check payable to your order, in clearing house
funds, in the amount equal to the offering price set forth in the Prospectus
less the Selected Dealers' Concession in respect of the number of Firm Units or
Option Units, as the case may be, to be purchased by us pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement.  We authorize you for our account to make payment of the
purchase price for the Firm Units or Option Units, as the case may be, to be
purchased by us against delivery to you of such Units, and the difference
between such price and the amount of our check delivered to you therefor shall
be credited to our account.  Unless we notify you at least three (3) full
business days prior to such Closing Time to make other arrangements, you may, in
your discretion, advise the Partnership to prepare our certificates in our name.
If you have not received our funds as requested, you may in your discretion make
such payment on our behalf, in which event we will reimburse you promptly.  Any
such payment by you shall not relieve us from any of our obligations hereunder
or under the Underwriting Agreement.

<PAGE>

     We authorize you for our account to accept delivery of our Units from the
Partnership and to hold such of our Units as you have reserved for sale to
Selected Dealers and others and to deliver such Units against such sales.  You
will deliver to us our unreserved Units as promptly as practicable.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Section 6, payment for and
delivery of our Units may be made through the facilities of DTC, if we are a
member, unless we have otherwise notified you prior to a date to be specified by
you, or, if we are not a member, settlement may be made through a correspondent
who is a member pursuant to instructions we may send to you prior to such
specified date.

     As promptly as practicable after you receive payment for reserved Units
sold for our account, you will remit to us the purchase price paid by us for
such Units and credit or debit our account with the difference between the sale
price and such purchase price.

     7.   AUTHORITY TO BORROW.  In connection with the transactions contemplated
in the Underwriting Agreement or this Agreement, we authorize you, in your
discretion, to advance your own funds for our account, charging current interest
rates, to arrange loans for our account and in connection therewith to execute
and deliver any notes or other instruments and hold or pledge as security
therefor any of our Units purchased for our account.  Any lender may rely upon
your instructions in all matters relating to any such loan.

     Any of our Units purchased for our account held by you may from time to
time be delivered to us for carrying purposes, and any such securities will be
redelivered to you upon demand.

     8.   STABILIZATION AND OTHER MATTERS.  We authorize you in your discretion
to make purchases and sales of the Units of the Partnership for our account in
the open market or otherwise, for long or short account, on such terms as you
deem advisable and in arranging sales to over-allot.  If you have purchased
Units for stabilizing purposes prior to the execution of this Agreement, such
purchases shall be treated as having been made pursuant to the foregoing
authorization.  We also authorize you, either before or after the termination of
the offering provisions of this Agreement, to cover any short position incurred
pursuant to this Section 8 on such terms as you deem advisable.  All such
purchases and sales and over-allotments shall be made for the accounts of the
several Underwriters as nearly as practicable in proportion to their respective
underwriting obligations.  Our net commitment under this Section 8 (excluding
any commitment incurred under the Underwriting Agreement upon exercise of the
right to purchase Option Units) shall not, at the end of any business day,
exceed 15% of our underwriting obligation as set forth in Schedule A to the
Underwriting Agreement.  We will on your demand, take up and pay for at cost any
Units so purchased or sold or overallotted for our account, and, if any other
Underwriter defaults in its corresponding obligation, we will assume our
proportionate share of such obligation without relieving the defaulting
Underwriter from liability.  We will be obligated in respect of purchases and
sales made for our account hereunder whether or not any proposed purchase of
Units is consummated.  The existence of this provision is no assurance that the
price of the Units will be stabilized or that if stabilizing is commenced, it
may not be discontinued at any time.

     We agree to advise you, from time to time upon your request, during the
term of this Agreement, of the number of Units retained by us remaining unsold,
and will, upon your request, sell to you for the accounts of one or more of the
several Underwriters such number of Units as you may designate at such prices,
not less than the net price to Selected Dealers nor more than the public
offering price, as you may determine.

     If you effect any stabilizing purchase pursuant to this Section 8, you will
notify us promptly of the date and time when the first stabilizing purchase was
effected and the date and time when stabilizing was terminated.  We authorize
you on our behalf to file any reports required to be filed with the Commission
in connection with any transactions made by you for our account pursuant to this
Section 8 and we agree to furnish you with any information needed for such
reports.  We agree to transmit to you for filing with the Commission any and all
reports required to be made by us pursuant to paragraph (c) of Rule 17a-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), as a result of
any transactions in connection with the offering of Units.

     With respect to the Underwriting Agreement, you are also authorized in your
discretion (a) to exercise the option therein as to all or any part of the
Option Units, and to terminate such option in whole or in part prior to its
expiration, (b) to postpone either or both the Closing Time and Date of Delivery
referred to in the Underwriting

Agreement, and any other time or date specified therein, (c) to exercise any
right of cancellation or termination, (d) to arrange for the purchase by other
persons (including yourself or any other Underwriter) of any Units not taken up
by any defaulting Underwriter, and (e) to consent to such other changes in the
Underwriting Agreement as in your judgment do not materially adversely affect
the substance of our rights and obligations thereunder.

     We further agree that (a) prior to the termination of this Agreement we
will not, directly or indirectly, bid for or purchase Units for our own account,
except as provided in this Agreement and in the Underwriting Agreement and (b)
prior to the completion (as defined in Rule 10b-6 under the 1934 Act) of our
participation in the distribution, we will otherwise comply with Rule 10b-6
under the 1934 Act.

     9.   ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES AND SETTLEMENT.  We authorize you to charge our
account with (a) all transfer taxes on Units purchased by us pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement and sold by you for our account, (b) Selected Dealers'
Concessions in connection with the purchase, marketing and sale of the Units for
our account and (c) our proportionate share (based upon our underwriting
obligation) of all other expenses incurred by the Underwriters in connection
with the purchase, carrying, sale, and distribution of the Units.  Your
determination of the amount and allocation of such expenses shall be conclusive.
In the event of the default of any Underwriter in carrying out its obligations
hereunder, the expenses chargeable to such Underwriter pursuant to this
Agreement and not paid by it, as well as any additional losses or expenses
arising from such default, may be proportionately charged by you against the
other Underwriters not so defaulting, without, however, relieving such
defaulting Underwriter from its liability therefor.

     As soon as practicable after termination of this Agreement, the accounts
hereunder will be settled, but you may reserve from distribution such amount as
you deem necessary to cover possible additional expenses.  You may at any time
make partial distributions of credit balances or call for payment of debit
balances.  Any of our funds in your hands may be held with your general funds
without accountability for interest.  Notwithstanding the termination of this
Agreement or any settlement, we will pay on demand (a) our proportionate share
(based on our underwriting obligation) for all expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred by or for the accounts of the Underwriters, including any
liability based on the claim that the Underwriters constitute an association,
unincorporated business or other separate entity, and of any expenses incurred
by you or any other Underwriter with your approval in contesting any such claim
or liability and (b) any transfer taxes paid after such settlement on account of
any sale or transfer for our account.

     10.  TERMINATION.  This Agreement shall terminate thirty (30) days after
the Units are released by you for sale to the public unless extended by you.
You may extend such provisions for a period or periods not exceeding an
additional thirty (30) days in the aggregate, provided the Selected Dealer
Agreements, if any, are similarly extended.  Whether or not said provisions may
be terminated in whole or in part by notice from you, you may, in your
discretion, on notice to us prior to such time, terminate the effectiveness of
this Agreement or any portion of it.

     11.  DEFAULT OF UNDERWRITERS.  Default by one or more Underwriters in
respect of their obligations hereunder or under the Underwriting Agreement shall
not release us from any of our obligations or in any way affect the liability of
any defaulting Underwriter to the other Underwriters for damages resulting from
such default.  In case of such default by one or more Underwriters, you are
authorized to increase, pro rata with other non-defaulting Underwriters, the
number of Units which we shall be obligated to purchase pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement, provided that the aggregate number of all such increases
for our account shall not exceed our pro rata share (together with other non-
defaulting Underwriters) of 180,000 Units; and you are further authorized to
arrange, but shall not be obligated to arrange, for the purchase by other
persons, who may include yourselves or other Underwriters, of all or a portion
of any aggregate number not taken up.  If any such arrangements are made, the
respective amount of Units to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters
and by any such other persons shall be taken as a basis for the underwriting
obligations under this Agreement.

     12.  POSITION OF THE REPRESENTATIVES.  Except as in this Agreement
otherwise specifically provided, you shall have full authority to take such
action as you may deem advisable in respect of all matters pertaining to the
Underwriting Agreement and this Agreement and in connection with the purchase,
carrying, sale and distribution of the Units (including authority to terminate
the Underwriting Agreement as provided therein).  You shall be under

<PAGE>

no liability to us for or in respect of the value of the Units or the validity
or the form thereof, the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the
Prospectus, the Underwriting Agreement or other instruments executed by the
Partnership or others; or for or in respect of the issuance, transfer or
delivery of the Units; or for the performance by the Partnership or others of
any agreement on its or their part; nor shall you, as Representatives or
otherwise, be liable under any of the provisions hereof or for any matters
connected herewith, except for your own want of good faith, for obligations
expressly assumed by you in this Agreement and for any liabilities imposed upon
you by the 1933 Act.  No obligations on your part shall be implied or inferred
herefrom.  Authority with respect to matters to be determined by you, or by you
and the Partnership, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

     In taking all actions hereunder, except in the performance of your own
obligations hereunder and under the Underwriting Agreement, you shall act only
as Representatives of each of the Underwriters.  The commitments and liabilities
of each of the several Underwriters are several in accordance with their
respective purchase obligations and are not joint or joint and several.  Nothing
contained herein shall constitute the Underwriters partners or render any of
them liable to make payments otherwise than as herein provided.  If for federal
income tax purposes the Underwriters should be deemed to constitute a
partnership, then each Underwriter elects to be excluded from the application of
Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and agrees not to take any position inconsistent with such election.
You, as Representatives of the several Underwriters, are authorized, in your
discretion, to execute such evidence of such election as may be required by the
Internal Revenue Service.

     13.  COMPENSATION TO THE MANAGING UNDERWRITERS.  As compensation for the
services of the managing underwriters in connection with the purchase of Units
and the management of the public offering of the Units, we agree to pay you and
authorize you to charge our account with an amount equal to [$_____] for each
Share which we have agreed to purchase pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

     14.  INDEMNIFICATION AND FUTURE CLAIMS.  Each Underwriter, including
yourselves, agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse each other
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any other Underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, and any successor of any other
Underwriter, to the extent that, and upon the terms upon which, each Underwriter
agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Partnership as set forth in
the Underwriting Agreement.

     In the event that at any time any person other than an Underwriter asserts
a claim against one or more of the Underwriters or against you as
Representatives of the Underwriters arising out of an alleged untrue statement
or omission in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in any
Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or relating to any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, we
authorize you to make such investigation, to retain such counsel for the
Underwriters and to take such action in the defense of such claim as you may
deem necessary or advisable.  You may settle such claim with the approval of a
majority in interest of the Underwriters.  We will pay our proportionate share
(based upon our underwriting obligation) of all expenses incurred by you
(including the fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters in
investigating and defending against such claim, after deducting any contribution
or indemnification obtained pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, or
otherwise, from persons other than Underwriters), whether such liability is the
result of any such settlement.  There shall be credited against any amount paid
or payable by us pursuant to this paragraph any loss, damage, liability or
expense which is incurred by us as a result of any such claim asserted against
us, and if such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is incurred by us
subsequent to any payment by us pursuant to this paragraph, appropriate
provisions shall be made to effect such credit, by refund or otherwise.  Any
Underwriter may retain separate counsel at its own expense.  A claim against or
liability incurred by a person who controls an Underwriter shall be deemed to
have been made against or incurred by such Underwriter.  In the event of default
by any Underwriter in respect of its obligations under this Section 14, the non-
defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to pay the full amount thereof in the
proportions that their respective underwriting obligations bear to the
underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, without relieving
such defaulting Underwriter of its liability hereunder.  Our agreements
contained in this Section 14 will remain in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of such other Underwriter or controlling
person and will survive the delivery of and payment for the Units and the
termination of this Agreement and the similar agreements entered into with the
other Underwriters.  We will give prompt  notice to you if we receive notice of
assertion of any claim

<PAGE>

against the  Underwriters.  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.

     15.  BLUE SKY AND OTHER MATTERS.  You will not have any responsibility with
respect to the right of any Underwriter or other person to sell the Units in any
jurisdiction notwithstanding any information you may furnish in that connection.
We authorize you to file a New York Further State Notice, if required, and to
make and carry out on our behalf any agreements which you may deem necessary in
order to procure registration or qualification of any of the Units in any
jurisdiction, and we will at your request make such payments, and furnish to you
such information, as you may deem required by reason of any such agreements.

     We authorize you to file on behalf of the several Underwriters with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") such documents and
information, if any, which are available or have been furnished to you for
filing pursuant to applicable rules, statements and interpretations of the NASD.

     16.  TITLE TO UNITS.  The Units purchased by the respective Underwriters
and any other securities purchased by you hereunder for their respective
accounts shall remain the property of such Underwriters until sold and no title
to any such Units or other securities shall in any event pass to you, as
Representatives, by virtue of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

     17.  CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS.  We confirm that our net capital and the ratio
of our aggregate indebtedness to our net capital is such that we may, in
accordance with and pursuant to Rule 15c3-1 under the 1934 Act or the rules of
any other exchange to which we are subject, obligate ourselves to purchase, and
purchase, the Units which we agree to purchase under the Underwriting Agreement
and hereunder.

     18.  LIABILITY FOR FUTURE CLAIMS.  Neither any statement by you, as
Representatives of the several Underwriters, of any credit or debit balance in
our account nor any reservation from distribution to cover possible additional
expenses relating to the Units will constitute any representation by you as to
the existence or nonexistence of possible unforeseen expenses or liabilities of
or charge against the several Underwriters.  Notwithstanding the distribution of
any net credit balance to us, we will be and remain liable for, and will pay and
demand, (a) our proportionate share (based upon our underwriting obligation) of
all expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by or for the accounts of the
Underwriters, including any liability which may be incurred by the Underwriters
or any of them based on the claim that the Underwriters constitute any
association, unincorporated business, partnership or any separate entity, and
(b) any transfer taxes paid after such settlement on account of any sale or
transfer for our account.

     19.  ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT, ETC.  We hereby confirm that
we have examined the Registration Statement (including any amendments or
supplements thereto) relating to the Units filed with the Commission, that we
are willing to accept the responsibilities of an underwriter thereunder and that
we are willing to proceed as therein contemplated.  We confirm that we have
authorized you to advise the Partnership on our behalf (a) as to the statements
to be included in any Preliminary Prospectus and in the Prospectus relating to
the Units under the heading "Underwriting," insofar as they relate to us, and
(b) that there is no information about us required to be stated in said
Registration Statement or said Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus other
than as set forth in the Underwriters' Questionnaire previously delivered by us
to you.  We understand that the aforementioned documents are subject to further
change and that we will be supplied with copies of any amendment or amendments
to the Registration Statements and of any amended Prospectus promptly, if and
when received by you, but the making of such changes and amendments will not
release us or affect our obligations hereunder or under the Underwriting
Agreement.

     20.  NOTICES AND GOVERNING LAW.  Any notice from you to us shall be mailed,
telephoned or sent via facsimile to us at our address as set forth in the
Underwriters' Questionnaire.  Any notice from us to you shall be deemed to have
been duly given if mailed, telephoned or sent via facsimile to Morgan Keegan &
Company, Inc. at 50 Front Street, Memphis, Tennessee 38103.  This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York.

     21.  OTHER PROVISIONS.  We represent that we are actually engaged in the
investment banking and securities business and are a member in good standing of
the NASD or, if we are not such a member, that we are a foreign bank, dealer or
institution not eligible for membership in said Association and that we will not
offer or sell any Units in the United States of America, its territories or
possessions, or to persons who are citizens thereof or residents therein.  In
making sales of the Units, if we are such a member, we agree to comply with all
applicable rules of the NASD, including, without limitation, the NASD's
Interpretation with Respect to Free-Riding and Withholding and Section 24 of
Article III of the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice, or if we are a foreign bank,
dealer or institution, we agree to comply with such Interpretation and Sections
8, 24, 25 (as such Section applies to foreign nonmembers) and 36 of the Article
III as that Section applies to a non-member broker or dealer in a foreign
country.  We confirm that we have complied with the requirements of the 1933 Act
concerning delivery of each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus.  We are
aware of our statutory responsibilities under the 1933 Act, and you are
authorized on our behalf to so advise the Commission.


     22.  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

                              Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs:

     U.S. Restaurant Properties Master L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), proposes to issue and sell to the underwriters named in SCHEDULE
A (collectively, the "Underwriters") an aggregate of 1,800,000 Units of
beneficial interest of the Partnership (the "Firm Units").  The Firm Units are
to be sold to each Underwriter, acting severally and not jointly, in such
amounts as are set forth in SCHEDULE A opposite the name of such Underwriter.

     The Partnership also grants to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly,
the option described in Section 2 to purchase, on the same terms as the Firm
Units, up to 270,000 additional Units (the "Option Units") solely to cover over-
allotments.  The Firm Units, together with all or any part of the Option Units,
are collectively herein called the "Units."  U.S. Restaurant Properties
Operating L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, is referred to herein as the
"Operating Partnership" and U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc., the managing
general partner of the Partnership and the Operating Partnership, is referred to
herein as the "Company."  The Operating Partnership and the Partnership are
collectively referred to herein as the "Partnerships."  Other capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings
set forth in the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined).

     Section 1.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE
COMPANY.  The Partnership and Company hereby jointly and severally represent and
warrant to and agree with each of the Underwriters that:

          (a)  A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-02657) with
     respect to the Units, including a preliminary form of prospectus, has been
     prepared by the Partnership and the Company in conformity with the
     requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"),
     and the applicable rules and regulations (the "1933 Act Regulations") of
     the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and has been
     filed with the Commission; and such amendments to such registration
     statement as may have been required prior to the date hereof have been
     filed with the Commission, and such amendments have been similarly
     prepared. Copies of such registration statement and amendment or amendments
     and of each related preliminary prospectus, and the exhibits, financial
     statements and schedules, as finally amended and revised, have been
     delivered to you. The Partnership and the Company have prepared in the same
     manner, and propose to so file with the Commission, one of the following:
     (i) prior to effectiveness of such registration statement, a further
     amendment thereto, including the form of final prospectus, or (ii) a final
     prospectus in accordance with Rules 430A and 424(b) of the 1933 Act
     Regulations. As filed, such amendment and form of final prospectus, or such
     final prospectus, shall include all Rule 430A Information (as defined
     below) and, except to the extent that you shall agree in writing to a
     modification, shall be in all respects in the form furnished to you prior
     to the date and time that this Agreement was executed and delivered by the
     parties hereto or, to the extent not completed at such date and time, shall
     contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond
     that contained in the latest preliminary prospectus) as the Partnership and
     the Company shall have previously advised you in writing would be included
     or made therein.

<PAGE>

          The term "Registration Statement" as used in this Agreement shall mean
     such registration statement at the time such registration statement becomes
     effective and, in the event any post-effective amendment thereto becomes
     effective prior to the Closing Time (as hereinafter defined), shall also
     mean such registration statement as so amended; provided, however, that
     such term shall also include all Rule 430A Information deemed to be
     included in such registration statement at the time such registration
     statement becomes effective as provided by Rule 430A of the 1933 Act
     Regulations.  The term "Preliminary Prospectus" shall mean any preliminary
     prospectus referred to in the preceding paragraph and any preliminary
     prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it becomes
     effective that omits Rule 430A Information.  The term "Prospectus" as used
     in this Agreement shall mean the prospectus relating to the Units in the
     form in which it is first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
     of the 1933 Act Regulations or, if no filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the
     1933 Act Regulations is required, shall mean the form of final prospectus
     included in the Registration Statement at the time such Registration
     Statement becomes effective.  The term "Rule 430A Information" means
     information with respect to the Units and the offering thereof permitted by
     the 1933 Act Regulations to be omitted from the Registration Statement when
     it becomes effective.  Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration
     Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to
     refer and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant
     to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, as of the date of the
     Registration Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the
     case may be, and any reference to any amendment or supplement to the
     Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall
     be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under
     the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
     which, upon filing, are incorporated by reference therein, as required by
     paragraph (b) of Item 12 of Form S-3.  As used herein, the term
     "Incorporated Documents" means the documents which at the time are
     incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary
     Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto.

          (b)  No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary
     Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and no proceedings for that
     purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Commission or the state
     securities or blue sky authority of any jurisdiction, and each Preliminary
     Prospectus, at the time of filing thereof, conformed in all material
     respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations,
     and did not contain any 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were
     made, 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
     Partnership by an Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration
     Statement.

          (c)  The Partnership and the offering of the Units contemplated by
     this Agreement meet the requirements for using Form S-3 under the 1933 Act.
     When the Registration Statement shall become effective, when the Prospectus
     is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, when
     any amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, and when any
     supplement to the Prospectus is filed with the Commission and at the
     Closing Time and Date of Delivery (as hereinafter defined), (i) the
     Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any amendments thereof and
     supplements thereto will conform in all material respects with the
     applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, and
     (ii) neither the Registration Statement, the Prospectus nor any amendment
     or supplement thereto will contain any untrue statement of a material fact
     or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
     in order 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 Partnership by an Underwriter expressly for use
     in the Registration Statement.

          (d)  The Incorporated Documents heretofore filed, when they were filed
     (or, if any amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when
     such amendment was filed), conformed in all material respects with the
     requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
     and any further Incorporated Documents so filed will, when they are filed,
     conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act
     and the rules and regulations thereunder.  No such document when it was

                                        2

<PAGE>

     filed (or, if an amendment with respect to any such document was filed,
     when such amendment was filed), contained an untrue statement of the
     material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
     therein are necessary in order to make the statements therein not
     misleading.  No further Incorporated Document, when it is filed, will
     contain an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit to state a
     material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
     the statements therein not misleading.

          (e)  At the effective time of the Registration Statement, the
     Partnership owned 231 properties (the "Current Properties") as described in
     the Prospectus.  One hundred twenty-five of the Current Properties were
     acquired in connection with the Partnership's initial public offering in
     1986.  At the effective time of the Registration Statement, the Partnership
     had entered into binding agreements (the "Acquisition Agreements") as
     described in the Prospectus to acquire 39 additional restaurant properties
     (the "Acquisition Properties").

          (f)  The Partnership has been duly organized and is validly existing
     as a limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the State of
     Delaware with all requisite partnership power and authority to own, lease
     and operate its properties and the properties it proposes to own, lease and
     operate as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and
     to conduct its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted as
     described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.  The
     Partnership has been duly qualified to do business and is in good standing
     as a foreign partnership in each other jurisdiction in which the ownership
     or leasing of its properties or the nature or conduct of its business as
     now conducted requires such qualification, except where the failure to do
     so would not have a material adverse effect on either of the Partnerships,
     any Current Property or any Acquisition Property or on the condition,
     financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or business
     prospects of either of the Partnerships or the Company or subject the
     limited partners of either of the Partnerships to any material liability or
     disability.  The Partnership will be duly qualified, at the time of the
     closing of the acquisition of the Acquisition Properties, in each
     jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or the
     nature or conduct of its business as proposed to be conducted as described
     in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus requires such
     qualification, except where the failure to do so would not have a material
     adverse effect on either of the Partnerships, any Current Property or any
     Acquisition Property or on the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings,
     assets, business affairs or business prospects of either of the
     Partnerships or the Company or subject the limited partners of either of
     the Partnerships to any material liability or disability.  The Partnership
     does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation,
     partnership, association or other entity except the Operating Partnership,
     U.S. Restaurant Properties Business Trust #1 (the "Business Trust") and
     Restaurant Acquisition Corp.


          (g)  The Company is the sole general partner of the Partnership with a
     general partnership interest in the Partnership of 1.0%.  At the Closing
     Time and Delivery Date, the Company will be the sole general partner of the
     Partnership and will be the holder of a 1.0% general partnership interest
     in the Partnership.  Such general partner interest is duly authorized by
     the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the
     Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), by and between the Company and
     the Partnership and was validly issued to the Company and is fully paid and
     nonassessable, except as provided in the Partnership Agreement.  The
     Company owns such general partner interest free and clear of any lien,
     claim, charge or other encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever.

          (h)  The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating
     Partnership with a general partnership interest in the Operating
     Partnership of .99%.  At the Closing Time and Delivery Date, the Company
     will be the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and will be
     the holder of a .99% general partnership interest in the Operating
     Partnership.  The Partnership is the sole limited partner of the Operating
     Partnership with a limited partnership interest of 99.01%.  At the Closing
     Time and the Delivery Date, the Partnership will be the sole limited
     partner of the Operating Partnership with a limited partnership interest of
     99.01%.  Such general partner and limited partner interests are duly
     authorized by the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
     Partnership of the Operating Partnership (the "Operating Partnership
     Agreement"), by and between the Company and the Operating Partnership and
     were validly issued to the Company and the Partnership, as the case may be,
     and are fully paid and nonassessable.  The

                                        3

     Company and the Partnership own such general partnership and limited
     partnership interests, as the case may be, free and clear of any lien,
     claim, charge or other encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever.
     (This Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the Operating Partnership
     Agreement sometimes are hereinafter referred to as the "Operative
     Documents.")

          (i)  The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as
     a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
     The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease
     and operate its properties and conduct its business as now conducted and as
     proposed to be conducted as described in the Registration Statement and the
     Prospectus.  The Company has been duly qualified to do business and is in
     good standing as a foreign corporation in each other jurisdiction in which
     the ownership or leasing of its properties or the nature or conduct of its
     business as now conducted requires such qualification, except where the
     failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on either of the
     Partnerships, any Current Property or any Acquisition Property or on the
     condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or
     business prospects of either of the Partnerships or the Company or subject
     the limited partners of either of the Partnerships to any material
     liability or disability.  The Company will be duly qualified (at the time
     of the closing of the acquisition of the Acquisition Properties) in each
     jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or the
     nature or conduct of its business as described in the Registration
     Statement or Prospectus requires such qualification, except where the
     failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on either of the
     Partnerships, any Current Property or any Acquisition Property or on the
     condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or
     business prospects of either of the Partnerships or the Company or subject
     the limited partners of either of the Partnerships to any material
     liability or disability.  Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, the
     Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in
     any entity other than the Partnership and the Operating Partnership.

          (j)  The Operating Partnership and the Business Trust each have been
     duly formed and are validly existing as a limited partnership or business
     trust, as the case may be, under the laws of their respective states of
     formation.  The Operating Partnership and the Business Trust have all
     requisite partnership, trust or other power and authority, as the case may
     be, to own, lease and operate their respective properties and to conduct
     their businesses as now conducted.  The Operating Partnership and the
     Business Trust each have been duly qualified or registered to do business
     and are in good standing as a foreign corporation or business trust, as
     applicable, in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its
     properties or the nature or conduct of their businesses requires such
     qualification, except where the failure to do so would not have a material
     adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, assets,
     business affairs or business prospects of the Operating Partnership or the
     Business Trust, as the case may be, or subject the limited partner of the
     Operating Partnership or the beneficiaries of the Business Trust to any
     material liability or disability.

          (k)  The Partnership and the Operating Partnership each own,
     respectively, a 50% beneficial interest in the Business Trust.  At the
     Closing Time and Delivery Date, the Partnership and the Operating
     Partnership will be the sole beneficiaries of the Business Trust.  Such
     beneficial interests have been duly authorized by the Business Trust and
     were validly issued to both the Partnership and the Operating Partnership,
     as the case may be, and are fully paid and nonassessable.  The Partnership
     and the Operating Partnership own such beneficial interests free and clear
     of any lien, claim, charge or other encumbrance of any kind or nature
     whatsoever.

          (l)  The Partnership has full partnership right, power and authority
     to enter into this Agreement, to issue, sell and deliver the Units as
     provided herein and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.
     This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
     Partnership and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
     Partnership, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent
     that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization or other laws of general applicability relating to or
     affecting creditors' rights, or by general equity principles and except to
     the extent the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7 of this
     Agreement may be limited by federal or state securities laws or the public
     policy underlying such laws.

                                        4

          (m)  On behalf of the Partnership and itself, the Company has full
     corporate right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to
     consummate the transactions contemplated herein.  This Agreement has been
     duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a
     legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in
     accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be
     limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general
     applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights, or by general
     equity principles and except to the extent the indemnification provisions
     set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement may be limited by federal or state
     securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws.

          (n)  The Partnership Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
     delivered by the parties thereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
     obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent
     enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
     other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
     rights or by general equity principles.  The Operating Partnership
     Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties
     thereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable
     in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be
     limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or the laws of general
     applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights or by general
     equity principles.

          (o)  Each of the Acquisition Agreements relating to the Acquisition
     Properties, when duly authorized, executed and delivered by the respective
     parties thereto, will constitute valid and binding agreements, enforceable
     in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent
     enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
     other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
     rights or by general equity principles.  Each of the parties to the
     Acquisition Agreements has full legal right, power and authority to enter
     into such agreements and to consummate the transactions contemplated
     thereby.  The Acquisition Agreements each have been duly authorized,
     executed and delivered by the respective parties thereto and constitute
     legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their
     respective terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general
     applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights or by general
     equity principles.

          (p)  Each consent, approval, authorization, order, license,
     certificate, permit, registration, designation or filing by or with any
     governmental agency or body necessary for the valid authorization,
     issuance, sale and delivery of the Units, the execution, delivery and
     performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Partnership and
     the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby has been made or
     obtained and is in full force and effect.

          (q)  Neither the issuance, sale and delivery by the Partnership of the
     Units, nor the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
     Partnership and the Company, nor the consummation of the transactions
     contemplated hereby by the Partnership or the Company, as applicable, will
     conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and
     provisions of, or (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of
     time or both) constitute a default under the certificate of incorporation,
     bylaws, certificate of limited partnership or Partnership Agreement of the
     Partnership or the Company, as the case may be; any indenture, mortgage,
     deed of trust, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument
     (including the Operating Partnership Agreement and the constituent
     documents of the Business Trust) to which either of the Partnerships, the
     Company or the Business Trust is a party or to which they, any of them, any
     of their respective properties or other assets or any Acquisition Property
     is subject; or any applicable statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or
     regulation of any court or governmental agency or body applicable to any of
     the foregoing or any of their respective properties; or result in the
     creation or imposition of any lien, claim, charge, or other encumbrance of
     any kind or nature whatsoever upon any Acquisition Property or any property
     or asset of the Company, either of the Partnerships or the Business Trust.

          (r)  No person or entity has exercised any right to require
     registration of any securities in connection with, or otherwise to
     participate in, the registration under the 1933 Act of the Units pursuant
     to the Registration Statement; and, except as set forth in the Prospectus,
     no person holds a right to require

                                        5

<PAGE>

     registration under the 1933 Act of any Units or other securities of the
     Partnership at any other time.  No person or entity has a right of
     participation or first refusal with respect to the issuance or sale of the
     Units by the Partnership.  The form of certificates evidencing the Units
     complies with all applicable requirements of Delaware law, the Partnership
     Agreement, the Depositary Agreement and The New York Stock Exchange.

          (s)  The capitalization of the Partnership is as disclosed in the
     Prospectus under "Capitalization."  All of the Units have been duly
     authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and conform
     to the description of the Units contained in the Prospectus.  None of the
     issued Units is subject to any preemptive or similar right and none has
     been issued, is owned or is held in violation of any preemptive or similar
     right.  Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there is no outstanding
     option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of, and no
     commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any Units or any security
     convertible into or exchangeable for Units.  The Units to be issued and
     sold at the Closing Time have been duly and validly authorized by the
     Partnership.  At the Closing Time and the Delivery Date, such Units will be
     validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any preemptive or
     similar right.

          (t)  All offers and sales of the Units prior to the date hereof were
     at all relevant times duly registered under the 1933 Act or exempt from the
     registration requirements of the 1933 Act by reason of Sections 3(b), 4(2)
     or 4(6) thereof and were duly registered or the subject of an available
     exemption from the registration requirements of the applicable state
     securities or blue sky laws.

          (u)  The Company's authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock is
     as disclosed in the Prospectus.  All of the issued shares of capital stock
     of the Company have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid
     and nonassessable.  None of the issued capital stock is subject to any
     preemptive or similar right and none has been issued, is owned or is held
     in violation of any preemptive or similar right.  All of the outstanding
     capital stock has been issued, offered and sold in compliance with all
     applicable laws (including, without limitation, federal and state
     securities laws).

          (v)  The historical financial statements, together with the related
     schedules and notes, included or incorporated in the Registration Statement
     and Prospectus present fairly the financial position of the specified
     entity as of the dates indicated and the financial position, results of
     operations and changes in financial position of the specified entity for
     the period specified, all in conformity with generally accepted accounting
     principles applied on a consistent basis.  The financial statement
     schedules included in the Registration Statement and the amounts in the
     Prospectus under the captions "Prospectus Summary -- Summary Historical and
     Pro Forma Financial Information and Other Data" and "Selected Historical
     and Pro Forma Financial Information and Other Data" fairly present the
     information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with
     the financial statements or schedules required by Form S-3 or otherwise
     required to be included or incorporated in the Registration Statement, the
     Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus.  The unaudited pro forma
     financial information (including the related notes) and other pro forma
     financial information included in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or
     any Preliminary Prospectus complies as to form in all material respects to
     the applicable accounting requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act
     Regulations, and management of the Partnership believes that the
     assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are reasonable.  Such pro
     forma adjustments have been properly applied to the historical amounts in
     the compilation of the information and such information fairly presents the
     financial position, results of operations and other information purported
     to be shown therein at the respective dates and for the respective periods
     specified.

          (w)  Each accountant or accounting firm referenced under "Experts" in
     the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, who have examined and are
     reporting upon the audited financial statements and schedules included or
     incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus,
     are, and were during the periods covered by their reports included in the
     Registration Statement and the Prospectus, independent public accountants
     within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.

                                        6

          (x)  Neither the Company, either of the Partnerships, or the Business
     Trust has sustained, since March 31, 1996, and, to the knowledge of the
     Company or the Partnership, no entity from which either of the Partnerships
     or the Business Trust proposes to acquire an Acquisition Property, has
     sustained since March 31, 1996, any material loss or interference with its
     business from fire, explosion, flood, hurricane, accident or other
     calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or
     arbitrators' court or governmental action, order or decree, in each such
     case that could materially adversely affect  either of the Partnerships,
     any Current Property, or any Acquisition Property or the condition,
     financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or business
     prospects of the Company, either of the Partnerships, or the Business
     Trust; and since the respective dates as of which information is given in
     the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and except as otherwise
     stated in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there has not been (i)
     any material change in the capital stock or Units, as applicable, long-term
     debt, obligations under capital leases or short-term borrowings of the
     Company, either of the Partnerships or the Business Trust, (ii) any
     material change, or any development which could reasonably be seen as
     involving a prospective material change in or affecting the condition,
     financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or business
     prospects of the Company, either of the Partnerships or the Business Trust,
     (iii) any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, incurred or
     undertaken by the Company, either of the Partnerships or the Business
     Trust, which is material to the condition, financial or otherwise,
     earnings, assets, business affairs or business prospects of any such
     entity, except for current liabilities or current obligations incurred in
     the ordinary course of business, (iv) any declaration or payment of any
     dividend or distribution of any kind on or with respect to the capital
     stock or Units, as applicable, of the Company, either of the Partnerships
     or the Business Trust, or (v) any transaction that is material to the
     Company, either of the Partnerships or the Business Trust, except
     transactions in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
     practices or as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement and the
     Prospectus.

          (y)  Each of the Partnership, the Operating Partnership and the
     Business Trust, as the case may be, have good and marketable title in fee
     simple to all  real property and the improvements located thereon owned by
     each of them, including, as applicable, those certain Current Properties
     identified in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as owned by the
     Partnerships, or the Business Trust, free and clear of all liens, claims,
     charges, and other encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever, except
     such as are described in the Prospectus, except such as would not have a
     material adverse effect on either of the Partnerships or the Business Trust
     or on the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business
     affairs or business prospects of any such entity.  Upon consummation of the
     transactions involving the Acquisition Properties, the Partnerships or the
     Business Trust, as the case may be, will have good and marketable title in
     fee simple to the Acquisition Properties and all related real property,
     free and clear of all liens, claims, charges, and other encumbrances of any
     kind or nature whatsoever, except such as would not have a material adverse
     effect on either of the Partnerships or the Business Trust or on the
     condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or
     business prospects of any such entity.  The Partnership, the Operating
     Partnership or the Business Trust, as the case may be, leases certain real
     property as lessee with respect to those properties identified as leased
     property in the Registration Statement and such properties are subject to
     valid, binding and enforceable leases that are not in default.  In
     addition, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership or the Business Trust,
     as the case may be, leases real property as lessor with respect to those
     properties identified as such in the Registration Statement and such
     properties are subject to valid, binding and enforceable leases, except
     that with respect to only two such leases, the enforceability of the leases
     may be limited by the bankruptcy of the tenant; all such leases are not in
     default, except with respect to such two leases, such leases are in default
     but are not in payment default.  Each of the Current Properties and the
     Acquisition Properties complies with all applicable codes, laws and
     regulations (including, without limitation, building and zoning codes, laws
     and regulations and laws relating to access to the Current Properties and
     the Acquisition Properties), except if and to the extent disclosed in the
     Prospectus and except for such failures to comply that would not
     individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on such
     property or on the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, assets,
     business affairs or business prospects of either of the Partnerships, the
     Company or the Business Trust.  Neither the Company nor the Partnership has
     knowledge of any pending or threatened condemnation proceedings, zoning
     change, or other proceeding or action that will in any manner affect the
     size of, use of, improvements on, construction on or access to the Current
     Properties or the Acquisition Properties, except such proceedings or
     actions that would not have a material adverse effect on any Current
     Property

                                        7

<PAGE>

     or Acquisition Property or on the condition, financial or otherwise,
     earnings, assets, business affairs or business prospects of either of the
     Partnerships, the Business Trust or the Company.

          (z)  Neither the Company, either of the Partnerships nor the Business
     Trust is in violation of its respective charter, bylaws, certificate of
     limited partnership, partnership agreement or trust documents, as the case
     may be, and no default exists, and no event has occurred, nor state of
     facts exists, which, with notice or after the lapse of time to cure or
     both, would constitute a default in the due performance and observance of
     any obligation, agreement, term, covenant, consideration or condition
     contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, note,
     lease or other agreement or instrument to which any such entity is a party
     or to which any such entity or any of its properties is subject.  Neither
     the Company, either of the Partnerships nor the Business Trust is in
     violation of, or in default with respect to, any statute, rule, regulation,
     order, judgment or decree, except such as in the aggregate do not now have
     and will not in the future have a material adverse effect on the condition,
     financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or business
     prospects, of any such entity, respectively.

          (aa) There is not pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or the
     Partnership, threatened, any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
     investigation against the Company, either of the Partnerships, the Business
     Trust or any of their respective officers and directors or to which the
     properties (including the Current Properties and the Acquisition
     Properties), assets or rights of either such entity are subject, before or
     brought by any court or governmental agent or body or board of arbitrators,
     which could result in any material adverse effect on the condition,
     financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or business
     prospects, of any such entity or which could adversely affect the
     consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
     agreements regarding the purchase of the Acquisition Properties.

          (bb) The descriptions in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
     of the contracts, leases and other legal documents therein described
     present fairly the information required to be shown, and there are no
     contracts, leases, or other documents of a character required to be
     described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or Incorporated
     Documents which are not described or filed as required.  There are no
     statutes or regulations applicable to the Partnerships, the Operating
     Partnership, the Company or the Business Trust, or certificates, permits or
     other authorizations from governmental regulatory officials or bodies
     required to be obtained or maintained by the Partnerships, the Company or
     the Business Trust of a character required to be disclosed in the
     Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Incorporated Documents which
     have not been so disclosed and properly described herein.  All agreements
     between each of the Company, either of the Partnerships or the Business
     Trust, as the case may be, and any third parties expressly referenced in
     the Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Incorporated Documents
     are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, either of the
     Partnerships, or the Business Trust, as the case may be, enforceable in
     accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent enforceability
     may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of
     general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and by
     general equitable principles.

          (cc) Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, each of the Company, the
     Partnerships or the Business Trust owns, possesses or has obtained all
     material permits, licenses, franchises, certificates, consents, orders,
     approvals and other authorizations of governmental or regulatory
     authorities or other entities as are necessary to own or lease, as the case
     may be, and to operate their respective properties and to carry on their
     respective business as presently conducted, or as contemplated in the
     Prospectus to be conducted, and there are not pending or, to the knowledge
     of the Company or the Partnership, threatened, any proceedings relating to
     the revocation or modification of any such licenses, permits, franchises,
     certificates, consents, orders, approvals or authorizations.

          (dd) Each of the Company, the Partnerships, and the Business Trust
     owns or possesses adequate licenses or other rights to use all patents,
     trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, software and design
     licenses, trade secrets, manufacturing processes, other intangible property
     rights and know-how (collectively "Intangibles") necessary to entitle each
     of the Company, the Partnerships or the Business Trust, as the case may be,
     to conduct their respective businesses now, and as proposed to be,
     conducted or operated as described in the Prospectus, the Registration
     Statement or the Incorporated Documents, and

                                        8

<PAGE>

     neither the Company, either of the Partnerships nor the Business Trust has
     received notice of infringement or of conflict with (and knows of no such
     infringement of or conflict with) asserted rights of others with respect to
     any Intangibles that could materially and adversely affect the condition,
     financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or business
     prospects of the Company, either of the Partnerships or the Business Trust,
     as the case may be.

          (ee) To the Company's and the Partnership's knowledge, the
     Partnership's system of internal accounting controls is sufficient to meet
     the broad objectives of internal accounting control insofar as those
     objectives pertain to the prevention or detection of errors or
     irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the
     Partnership's financial statements; and neither the Company, the
     Partnership nor any employee or agent thereof, has made any payment of
     funds of the Company or the Partnership, as the case may be, or received or
     retained any funds and no funds of the Company or the Partnership have been
     set aside to be used for any payment, in each case in violation of any law,
     rule or regulation.

          (ff) The Company, the Partnerships and the Business Trust have each
     filed on a timely basis all necessary tax returns required to be filed
     through the date hereof, including all federal, state, local and foreign
     income, sales and franchise tax returns, and have paid all taxes shown as
     due thereon; and no tax deficiency has been asserted against either such
     entity, nor does either such entity know of any tax deficiency which is
     likely to be asserted against either such entity which if determined
     adversely to either such entity, could materially adversely affect the
     condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or
     business prospects of any such entity, respectively.  All tax liabilities
     are adequately provided for on the respective books of any such entities.

          (gg) Each of the Company, the Partnerships and the Business Trust
     maintain or cause to be maintained insurance (issued by insurers of
     recognized financial responsibility) of the types and in the amounts
     generally deemed adequate for their respective businesses and, to the
     Company's and the Partnership's knowledge, consistent with insurance
     coverage maintained by similar partnerships, trusts or companies (as the
     case may be) in similar businesses, including, but not limited to,
     insurance covering real and personal property owned or leased by any of the
     Company, the Partnerships or the Business Trust, as the case may be,
     against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and all other risks
     customarily insured against, all of which insurance is in full force and
     effect.

          (hh) The Partnership and the Company each have five employees.  The
     Operating Partnership and the Business Trust have no employees.  To the
     best of the Partnership's knowledge, no general labor problem exists or is
     imminent with the employees of the Partnership or the Company and there is
     no pending or anticipated question of union representation or organization
     relating to the employees of the Partnership or the Company.

          (ii) Each of the Company, the Partnerships, the Business Trust and
     their officers, directors or affiliates has not taken and will not take,
     directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be
     expected to, cause or result in or constitute the stabilization or
     manipulation of any security of the Partnership or to facilitate the sale
     or resale of the Units.

          (jj) The Units are registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934
     Act and listed on The New York Stock Exchange.  There is not pending or to
     the knowledge of the Company or the Partnership, threatened, any proceeding
     relating to the termination of the listing of the Units on The New York
     Stock Exchange.

          (kk) Neither the Partnership nor the Company has incurred any
     liability for a fee, commission or other compensation on account of the
     employment of a broker or finder in connection with the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement other than as contemplated hereby or as
     described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

          (ll) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus, neither the
     Company, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership, the Business Trust
     nor, to the knowledge of the Company or the Partnership, any

                                        9

     entity ("Selling Entity") from which the Partnership acquired a Current
     Property or from which the Partnership, Operating Partnership or Business
     Trust proposes to acquire an Acquisition Property has authorized or
     conducted or has knowledge of the generation, transportation, storage,
     presence, use, treatment, disposal, release, or other handling of any
     hazardous substance, hazardous waste, hazardous material, hazardous
     constituent, toxic substance, pollutant, contaminant, asbestos, radon,
     polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs"), petroleum product or waste (including
     crude oil or any fraction thereof), natural gas, liquefied gas, synthetic
     gas or other material defined, regulated, controlled or potentially subject
     to any remediation requirement under any environmental law (collectively,
     "Hazardous Materials"), on, in, under or affecting any real property
     currently leased or owned or by any means controlled by the Company, the
     Partnership, the Operating Partnership, the Business Trust  or any Selling
     Entity, including the Current Properties and the Acquisition Properties
     (the "Real Property") except as in material compliance with applicable
     laws; to the knowledge of the Company and the Partnership, the Real
     Property and the Company's, the Partnership's, the Operating Partnership's,
     the Business Trust's and the Selling Entities' operations with respect to
     the Real Property are or were at the respective time of operation in
     compliance with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules,
     regulations and other governmental requirements relating to pollution,
     control of chemicals, management of waste, discharges of materials into the
     environment, health, safety, natural resources, and the environment
     (collectively, "Environmental Laws"), and the Company, the Partnership, the
     Operating Partnership, the Business Trust and the Selling Entities have,
     and are in compliance with, all licenses, permits, registrations and
     government authorizations necessary to operate under all applicable
     Environmental Laws.  Except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus, none
     of the Company, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership or Business
     Trust or, to the best knowledge of the Company or the Partnership, any
     Selling Entity has received or received at any time any written or oral
     notice from any governmental entity or any other person and there is no
     pending or threatened claim, litigation or any administrative agency
     proceeding that: alleges a violation of any Environmental Laws by the
     Company, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership, or any Selling Entity;
     alleges that the Company, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership, the
     Business Trust, or any Selling Entity is a liable party or a potentially
     responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
     Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, ET SEQ., or any
     state superfund law; has resulted in or could result in the attachment of
     an environmental lien on any of the Real Property; or alleges that the
     Company, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership, the Business Trust or
     any Selling Entity is liable for any contamination of the environment,
     contamination of the Real Property, damage to natural resources, property
     damage, or personal injury based on their activities or the activities of
     their predecessors or third parties (whether at the Real Property or
     elsewhere) involving Hazardous Materials, whether arising under the
     Environmental Laws, common law principles, or other legal standards.

          (mm) The Partnership and the Operating Partnership were organized in
     conformity with the requirements for qualification as a limited partnership
     under the Delaware Limited Partnership Act, and the Partnership and the
     Operating Partnership are each treated as a partnership for federal income
     purposes and not as a corporation or an association taxable as a
     corporation.

          (nn) Neither the Company, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership
     nor the Business Trust is, or will  become as a result of the transactions
     contemplated hereby, or will conduct their respective businesses in a
     manner in which any such entity would become, "an investment company," or a
     company or partnership "controlled" by an "investment company," within the
     meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          (oo) No environmental engineering firm which prepared Phase I
     environmental assessment reports with respect to the Current Properties and
     the Acquisition Properties was employed for such purpose on a contingent
     basis or has any substantial interest in the Company or the Partnership or,
     to the knowledge of the Company or the Partnership any Selling Entity.

     Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company on behalf of the
Company or the Partnership and delivered to you or to counsel for the
Underwriters shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such entities to
each Underwriter as to the matters covered thereby.

     Section 2.  SALE AND DELIVERY OF THE UNITS TO THE UNDERWRITERS; CLOSING.

          (a)  On  the basis of the representations and warranties herein
     contained, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
     Partnership agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter
     agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Partnership the
     number of Firm Units set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in
     SCHEDULE A (the proportion which each Underwriter's share of the total
     number of the Firm Units bears to the total number of Firm Units is
     hereinafter referred to as such Underwriter's ("underwriting obligation
     proportion"), at a purchase price of $_________ per Unit.

          (b)  In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties
     herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth,
     the Partnership hereby grants an option to the Underwriters, severally and
     not jointly, to purchase up to an additional 270,000 Option Units at the
     same purchase price as shall be applicable to the Firm Units.  The option
     hereby granted will expire if not exercised within the thirty (30) day
     period after the date of the Prospectus by giving written notice to the
     Partnership.  The option granted hereby may be exercised in whole or in
     part (but not more than once), only for the purpose of covering over
     allotments that may be made in connection with the offering and
     distribution of the Firm Units.  The notice of exercise shall set forth the
     number of Option Units as to which the several Underwriters are exercising
     the option, and the time and date of payment and delivery thereof.  Such
     time and date of delivery (the "Date of Delivery") shall be determined by
     you but shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise
     of such option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Time.  If the option
     is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Units, the Option Units
     as to which the option is exercised shall be purchased by the Underwriters,
     severally and not jointly, in their respective underwriting obligation
     proportions.

          (c)  Payment of the purchase price for and delivery of certificates in
     definitive form representing the Firm Units shall be made at the offices of
     Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., 50 Front Street, Memphis, Tennessee 38103 or
     at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Partnership and you, at
     10:00 a.m., either (i) on the third full business day after the effective
     date of the Registration Statement, or (ii) at such other time not more
     than ten full business days thereafter as you and the Partnership shall
     agree (unless, in either case, postponed pursuant to Section 10), (such
     date and time of payment and delivery being herein called the "Closing
     Time").  In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Units are
     purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for and
     delivery of certificates in definitive form representing the Option Units
     shall be made at the offices of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. in the manner
     set forth above, or at such other place as the Partnership and you shall
     determine, on the Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from you to
     the Partnership.  Payment for the Firm Units and the Option Units shall be
     made to the Partnership by certified or official bank check or checks in
     New York Clearing House next day funds payable to the order of the
     Partnership, against delivery to you for the respective accounts of the
     Underwriters of the Units to be purchased by them.

          (d)  The certificates representing the Units to be purchased by the
     Underwriters shall be in such denominations and registered in such names as
     you may request in writing at least three full business days before the
     Closing Time or the Date of Delivery, as the case may be.  The certificates
     representing the Units will be made available at the offices of Morgan
     Keegan & Company, Inc. or at such other place as Morgan Keegan & Company,
     Inc. may designate for examination and packaging not later than 10:00 a.m.
     at least two full business days prior to the Closing Time or the Date of
     Delivery as the case may be.

          (e)  After the Registration Statement becomes effective, you intend to
     offer the Units to the public as set forth in the Prospectus, but after the
     public offering of such Units you may in your discretion vary the public
     offering price.

     Section 3.  CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE PARTNERSHIP AND THE COMPANY.  The
Partnership and the Company covenant and agree with each Underwriter as follows:

          (a)  The Partnership and the Company will use their respective best
     efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective (if not yet
     effective at the date and time that this Agreement is

                                       11

<PAGE>

     executed and delivered by the parties hereto).  If the Partnership elects
     to rely upon Rule 430A of the 1933 Act Regulations or the filing of the
     Prospectus is otherwise required under Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act
     Regulations, and subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) of this
     Agreement, the Partnership and the Company will comply with the
     requirements of Rule 430A and will file the Prospectus, properly completed,
     pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 424(b) within the time period
     prescribed.  The Partnership or the Company will notify you immediately,
     and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when the Registration Statement, or
     any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, shall have
     become effective, or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended
     Prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from
     the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission to amend the
     Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus or for
     additional information, and (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any
     stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of
     any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or
     the suspension of the qualification of the Units for offering or sale in
     any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatening of any proceeding
     for any such purposes.  The Partnership and the Company will use every
     reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or of any
     order preventing or suspending such use and, if any such order is issued,
     to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

          (b)  Neither the Partnership nor the Company will at any time file or
     make any amendment to the Registration Statement, or any amendment or
     supplement (i) to the Prospectus, if the Partnership has not elected to
     rely upon Rule 430A, or (ii) if the Partnership has elected to rely upon
     Rule 430A, to either the prospectus included in the Registration Statement
     at the time it becomes effective or to the Prospectus filed in accordance
     with Rule 424(b), in either case if you shall not have previously been
     advised and furnished a copy thereof a reasonable time prior to the
     proposed filing, or if you or counsel for the Underwriters shall object to
     such amendment or supplement.

          (c)  Either the Partnership or the Company has furnished or will
     furnish to you, at its expense, as soon as available, as many signed copies
     of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of all amendments
     thereto, whether filed before or after the Registration Statement becomes
     effective, copies of all exhibits and documents filed therewith and signed
     copies of all consents and certificates of experts, as you may reasonably
     request, and has furnished or will furnish to each Underwriter, one
     conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of
     each amendment thereto (but without exhibits).

          (d)  The Partnership or the Company will deliver to each Underwriter,
     at the Partnership's expense, from time to time, as many copies of each
     Preliminary Prospectus as such Underwriter may reasonably request, and the
     Partnership hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes
     permitted by the 1933 Act.  The Partnership or the Company will deliver to
     each Underwriter, at the Partnership's expense, as soon as the Registration
     Statement shall have become effective and thereafter from time to time as
     requested during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered
     under the 1933 Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as
     supplemented or amended) as each Underwriter may reasonably request.  The
     Partnership and the Company will comply to the best of its ability with the
     1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the
     distribution of the Units as contemplated in this Agreement and in the
     Prospectus.  If the delivery of a prospectus is required at any time prior
     to the expiration of nine months after the time of issue of the Prospectus
     in connection with the offering or sale of the Units and if at such time
     any events 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 light of the circumstances under which they were
     made when such Prospectus is delivered not misleading, or, if for any
     reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or supplement
     the Prospectus in order to comply with the 1933 Act, the Partnership and
     the Company will notify you and upon your request prepare and furnish
     without charge to each Underwriter and to any dealer in securities as many
     copies as you may from time to time reasonably request of an amended
     Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus which will correct such
     statement or omission or effect such compliance, and in case any
     Underwriter is required to deliver a prospectus in connection with sales of
     any of the Units at any time nine months or more after the time of issue of
     the Prospectus, upon your request but at the expense of such Underwriter,
     the Partnership or the Company will

                                       12

<PAGE>

     prepare and deliver to such Underwriter as many copies as you may request
     of an amended or supplemented Prospectus complying with Section 10(a)(3) of
     the 1933 Act.

          (e)  The Partnership and the Company will use their respective best
     efforts to qualify the Units for offering and sale under the applicable
     securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as you may designate
     and to maintain such qualifications in effect for as long as may be
     necessary to complete the distribution of the Units; provided, however,
     that neither the Partnership nor the Company shall be obligated to file any
     general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign
     corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to make
     any undertakings in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which
     it is not otherwise so subject.  The Partnership or the Company will file
     such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each
     jurisdiction in which the Units have been qualified as above provided.

          (f)  The Partnership or the Company will make generally available to
     its Unitholders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than the
     end of the fiscal quarter first occurring after the first anniversary of
     the "effective date of the Registration Statement" (as defined in Rule
     158(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations), an earnings statement (in reasonable
     detail but which need not be audited) complying with the provisions of
     Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder and covering a period
     of at least 12 months beginning after the effective date of the
     Registration Statement.

          (g)  The Partnership and the Company will use the net proceeds
     received by the Partnership from the sale of the Units in the manner
     specified in the Prospectus under the caption "Use of Proceeds."

          (h)  The Partnership will furnish to its Unitholders, as soon as
     practicable after the end of each respective period, annual reports
     (including financial statements audited by independent public accountants)
     and unaudited quarterly reports of operations for each of the first three
     quarters of the fiscal year.  During a period of five years after the date
     hereof, the Partnership or the Company will furnish to you: (i)
     concurrently with furnishing such reports to its Unitholders, statements of
     operations of the Partnership for each of the first three quarters in the
     form furnished to the Unitholders; (ii) concurrently with furnishing to its
     Unitholders, a balance sheet of the Partnership as of the end of such
     fiscal year, together with statements of operations, of cash flows and of
     Unitholders' equity of the Partnership for such fiscal year, accompanied by
     a copy of the certificate or report thereon of independent public
     accountants; (iii) as soon as they are available, copies of all reports
     (financial or otherwise) mailed to Unitholders; (iv) as soon as they are
     available, copies of all reports and financial statements furnished to or
     filed with the Commission, any securities exchange or the National
     Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"); (v) every material press
     release in respect of the Partnerships, the Company or the Business Trust
     or their respective affairs which is released by any such entity; and (vi)
     any additional information of a public nature concerning either of the
     Partnerships, the Company or the Business Trust  or their respective
     businesses that you may reasonably request.  During such five-year period,
     the foregoing financial statements shall be on a consolidated basis to the
     extent that the accounts of the Partnership are consolidated with any
     subsidiaries, and shall be accompanied by similar financial statements for
     any significant subsidiary that is not so consolidated.

          (i)  For a period of 180 days from the date hereof (the "Lock-Up
     Period"), the Partnership will not, without your prior written consent,
     directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, grant any option for the sale
     of, or otherwise dispose of, any Units or securities convertible into or
     exchangeale for Units, other than to the Underwriters pursuant to this
     Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding to foregoing, the
     Partnership may issue Units pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan to
     be adopted by the Partnership following the date hereof or in connection
     with acquisition of additional properties, so long as in connection with
     each such issuance of Units in connection with an acquisition, the holder
     of Units is subject to restrictions on resale which extend at least until
     the end of the Lock-Up Period.

          (j)  The Partnership will maintain a depositary and a transfer agent
     and, if necessary under the jurisdiction of organization of the
     Partnership, a registrar (which may be the same entity as the transfer
     agent) for its Units.

                                       13

<PAGE>

          (k)  The Partnership and the Company will use their respective best
     efforts to maintain the listing of its Units on the New York Stock
     Exchange.


          (l)  The Company and the Partnership are familiar with the Investment
     Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder,
     and have in the past conducted their affairs, and will in the future
     conduct their affairs, in such a manner so as to ensure that the
     Partnership and the Company were not and 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.

          (m)  The Partnership and its affiliates will not, and the Company and
     its officers, directors and affiliates will not, in violation of the
     Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (i)
     take, directly or indirectly prior to termination of the underwriting
     syndicate contemplated by this Agreement, any action designed to stabilize
     or manipulate the price of any security of the Partnership, or which may
     cause or result in, or which might in the future reasonably be expected to
     cause or result in, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any
     security of the Partnership, to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the
     Units, (ii) sell (other than under this Agreement), bid for, purchase or
     pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Units or (iii)
     pay or agree to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting any order
     to purchase any other securities of the Partnership.

          (n)  If at any time during the 30-day period after the Registration
     Statement becomes effective, any rumor, publication or event relating to or
     affecting the Partnership shall occur as a result of which in your
     reasonable opinion the market price of the Units has been or is likely to
     be materially affected (regardless of whether such rumor, publication or
     event necessitates a supplement to or amendment of the Prospectus) and
     after written notice from you advising the Partnership to the effect set
     forth above, the Partnership agrees to forthwith prepare, consult with you
     concerning the substance of, and disseminate a press release or other
     public statement, reasonably satisfactory to you, responding to or
     commenting on such rumor, publication or event.

          (o)  The Partnership will notify the New York Stock Exchange of the
     proposed issuance of the Units.

          (p)  The Partnership will file timely with the Commission and the NASD
     a report on Form 10-C in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
     Commission under the 1934 Act.

          (q)  The Partnership or the Operating Partnership will use their best
     efforts to cause the closing of the acquisition of the Acquisition
     Properties to occur on or prior to June 30, 1996.

     Section 4.  PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.  The Partnership or the Company will pay
and bear all costs, fees and expenses incident to the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement (excluding fees and expenses of counsel for the
Underwriters, except as specifically set forth below), including (a) the

Preliminary Prospectuses and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto, and the cost of furnishing copies thereof to the Underwriters, (b) the
preparation, printing and distribution of this Agreement, any Agreement Among
Underwriters, any Selected Dealers Agreement, the certificates representing the
Units, the Blue Sky Memoranda and any instruments relating to any of the
foregoing, (c) the issuance and delivery of the Units to the Underwriters,
including any transfer taxes payable upon the sale of the Units to the

qualification of the Units under the applicable securities laws in accordance
with Section 3(e) of this Agreement, including filing fees and fees and

Option Units, if any) that are not otherwise specifically provided for in this
section.  The Partnership or the Company, upon your request, will provide funds
in advance for filing fees in connection with "blue sky" qualifications.

     If the sale of the Units provided for herein is not consummated because any
condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 5 hereof
is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 9 hereof or
because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Partnership or
the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof
other than by reason of default by any of the Underwriters, the Partnership or
the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally on demand for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of

preparations for the marketing of the Units.

     Section 5.  CONDITIONS OF UNDERWRITERS' OBLIGATIONS.  The obligations of
the Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Units that they have respectively
agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement (including any Option Units as to
which the option granted in Section 2 has been exercised and the Date of
Delivery determined by you is the same as the Closing Time) are subject to the
accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Partnership and the
Company contained herein or in certificates of any officer of the Partnership
and the Company delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance
by the Partnership and the Company of their obligations hereunder, and to the
following further conditions:

          (a)  The Registration Statement shall have become effective not later
     than 5:30 p.m. on the date of this Agreement or, with your consent, at a
     later time and date not later, however, than 5:30 p.m. on the first
     business day following the date hereof, or at such later time or on such
     later date as you may agree to in writing; and at the Closing Time no stop
     order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have
     been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose shall
     have been instituted or shall be pending or, to your knowledge or the
     knowledge of the Partnership, shall be contemplated by the Commission, and
     any request on the part of the Commission for additional information shall
     have been complied with to the satisfaction of counsel for the
     Underwriters.  If the Partnership has elected to rely upon Rule 430A, a
     prospectus containing the Rule 430A Information shall have been filed with
     the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) (or a post-effective
     amendment providing such information shall have been filed and declared
     effective in accordance with the requirements of Rule 430A).

          (b)  At the Closing Time, you shall have received a favorable opinion
     of Middleberg, Riddle & Gianna, counsel for the Company and the
     Partnership, dated as of the Closing Time, together with signed or
     reproduced copies of such opinion for each of the other Underwriters, in
     form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters, to the
     effect that:

               (i)  The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly
          existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State
          of Delaware with the corporate power and authority to own and lease
          its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted and as
          proposed to be conducted as described in the Registration Statement
          and the Prospectus.  The Company is qualified to transact business as
          a foreign corporation and is in good standing in the states which
          shall be specified in such opinion, which shall be the only states
          where the nature of its business and conduct of its operations require
          such qualification.  The Company is the sole general partner of the
          Partnership.

               (ii) The Partnership is a limited partnership duly formed and
          validly existing under the Delaware Limited Partnership Act (the
          "Delaware Act") with the requisite power and authority to own and
          lease its properties (including the Current Properties and the
          Acquisition Properties) and to conduct its business as now conducted
          and as proposed to be conducted as described in the Registration
          Statement and the Prospectus.  The Partnership is qualified to
          transact business as a foreign partnership and is in good standing in
          the states which shall be specified in such opinion,

                                       15

<PAGE>

          which shall be the only states where the nature of its business and
          conduct of its operations require such qualifications.  The
          Partnership is in compliance with the Partnership Agreement.

               (iii)     The Operating Partnership and the Business Trust each
          have been duly formed and are validly existing as a limited
          partnership or business trust, as the case may be, under the laws of
          their respective states of formation with the requisite partnership or
          other power and authority, as the case may be, to own, lease and
          operate their respective properties and conduct their business as now
          conducted and as proposed to be conducted in the Registration
          Statement and the Prospectus.  The Operating Partnership is qualified
          to transact business as a foreign partnership and is in good standing
          in the states which shall be specified in such opinion, which shall be
          the only states where the nature of its business and contact of its
          operations require such qualification.  The Operating Partnership is
          in compliance with the Operating Partnership Agreement.  The Business
          Trust is qualified to transact business as a foreign trust and is in
          good standing in the states which shall be specified in such opinion,
          which shall be the only states where the nature of its business and
          conduct of its operations require such qualification.  The Business
          Trust is in compliance with its constituent documents.  The Company is
          the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.  The Company is
          the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.  The
          Partnership is the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership.
          The sole beneficiaries of the Business Trust are the Partnership and
          the Operating Partnership.

               (iv) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority
          to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, to issue, sell and
          deliver the Shares as provided herein and to consummate the
          transactions contemplated herein.  This Agreement has been duly
          authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due
          authorization, execution and delivery by the Underwriters, constitutes
          a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in
          accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be
          limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other
          laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by principles of
          equity whether considered at law or in equity and except to the extent
          that enforcement of the indemnification and contribution provisions
          set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement may be limited by federal or
          state securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws.

               (v)  The Partnership has the requisite partnership power and
          authority to execute the Agreement, to issue, sell and deliver the
          Units as provided herein and to consummate the transactions
          contemplated herein.  The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed
          and delivered by the Partnership and, assuming due authorization,
          execution and delivery by the Underwriters, constitutes a valid and
          binding agreement of the Partnership enforceable in accordance with
          its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by
          bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other laws
          affecting the rights of creditors generally and by principles of
          equity, whether considered at law or in equity and except to the
          extent that enforcement of the indemnification and contribution
          provisions set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement may be limited by
          federal or state securities laws or the public policy underlying such
          laws.

               (vi) The Partnership or the Operating Partnership, as the case
          may be, has the requisite power and authority to enter into the
          Acquisition Agreements and to consummate the transactions contemplated
          therein.  Such agreements have been duly authorized, executed and
          delivered by the Partnership and, assuming due authorization,
          execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, constitute valid
          and binding agreements, enforceable in accordance with their
          respective terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited
          by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general
          applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and by
          general principles of equity whether considered at law or in equity.

               (vii)     No consent, approval, authorization, order, license,
          certificate, permit, registration, or filing by or with any
          governmental agency or body is necessary for the valid authorization,
          issuance, sale and delivery of the Units, the execution, delivery and
          performance of the Agreement

                                       16

<PAGE>

          and the consummation by the Partnership and the Company of the
          transactions contemplated hereby, the execution and delivery of the
          other Operative Documents to which either the Company or any of the
          Partnerships is a party, except such as have been obtained or as may
          be necessary under state securities laws or required by the National
          Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. in connection with the
          purchase and distribution of the Units by the Underwriters, as to
          which such counsel need express no opinion.

               (viii)    Neither the issuance, sale and delivery by the
          Partnership of the Units, nor the execution, delivery and performance
          of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents to which any of
          the Company or the Partnerships is a party, nor the consummation of
          the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by either such entity,
          as applicable, will violate the Depository Agreement, the Certificate
          of Incorporation, by-laws, certificate of limited partnership or
          partnership agreement, as the case may be, of any such entity, as
          applicable; result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any
          contract filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the
          Registration Statement; and neither the issuance, sale and delivery by
          the Partnership of the Units nor the execution and delivery of the
          Agreement or the other Operative Documents to which any of the Company
          or either of the Partnerships is a party will violate any applicable
          statute, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or
          governmental agency or body or, to such counsel's knowledge, result in
          the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, claim or encumbrance
          upon any property or asset of any of the foregoing.

               (ix) The statements set forth in the Prospectus under the caption
          "Description of Units," insofar as they purport to constitute a
          summary of the terms of the Units, the Depositary Agreement and the
          laws relating thereto, fairly summarize such terms and applicable law,
          and present the information called for by the 1933 Act and the rules
          and regulations thereunder.  The Units conform in all material
          respects as to legal matters to the description thereof contained in
          the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

               (x)  The Units to be issued and sold to the Underwriters
          hereunder have been validly authorized by the Partnership.  When
          issued and delivered against payment therefor as provided in this
          Agreement such Units will be validly issued, fully paid and
          nonassessable.  No preemptive rights of Unitholders exist with respect
          to any of the Units.  No person or entity has elected to require or
          participate in the registration under the 1933 Act of the Units
          pursuant to the Registration Statement, which has not been validly
          waived; and, except as set forth in the Prospectus, no person holds a
          right to require or participate in a registration under the 1933 Act
          of any Units of the Partnership at any other time.  No person or
          entity has a right of participation or first refusal with respect to
          the sale of the Units by the Partnership.  The form of certificates
          evidencing the Units complies with all applicable requirements of
          Delaware law and the rules and regulations of the New York Stock
          Exchange.

               (xi) The Partnership has authorized Units as set forth in the
          Prospectus under the caption "Capitalization" as of the date therein.
          All of the issued Units of the Partnership have been duly and validly
          authorized and issued by the Partnership and are fully paid and
          nonassessable.  None of the issued Units have been issued or are owned
          or held in violation of any preemptive rights.  The Units to be issued
          at the Closing Time have been duly and validly authorized by the
          Partnership.  When issued and delivered against payment therefor as
          provided in the Partnership Agreement, such Units will be duly and
          validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  The outstanding Units
          have been and will be issued, offered and sold at or prior to the
          Closing Time in compliance with all applicable laws (including,
          without limitation, federal and state securities laws).  All sales of
          the Units prior to the date hereof were at all relevant times duly
          registered under the Act or were exempt from the registration
          requirements of the Act by reason of Sections 3(b), 4(2) or 4(6)
          thereof.  To the knowledge of such counsel, except as disclosed in the
          Prospectus, there is no outstanding option, warrant or other right
          calling for the issuance of, and no commitment, plan or arrangement to
          issue, any Units of the Partnership or any security convertible into
          or exchangeable for Units of the Partnership.

                                       17

               (xii)     Except as described in the Prospectus, there is not
          pending or threatened, any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
          investigation against the Company, either of the Partnerships or the
          Business Trust or any of their respective officers and directors or to
          which the properties, assets or rights of any such entity are subject,
          which, if determined adversely to any such entity, would individually
          or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the condition,
          financial or otherwise, earnings, assets, business affairs or business
          prospects of any such entity, respectively.

               (xiii)    The descriptions in the Registration Statement and the
          Prospectus of the contracts, leases and other legal documents therein
          described present fairly the information required to be shown and
          there are no contracts, leases or other documents known to such
          counsel of a character required to be described in the Registration
          Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the
          Registration Statement which are not described or filed as required.
          There are no statutes or regulations applicable to the Company, either
          of the Partnerships or the Business Trust or certificates, permits or
          other authorizations from governmental regulatory officials or bodies
          required to be obtained or maintained by any such entity, known to
          such counsel, of a character required to be disclosed in the
          Registration Statement or the Prospectus which have not been so
          disclosed and properly described therein.

               (xiv)     The Units are approved and listed for trading on the
          New York Stock Exchange.

               (xv) The Partnership and the Operating Partnership are each
          treated as a partnership for federal income purposes and not as a
          corporation or an association taxable as a corporation.

               (xvi)     The Registration Statement has become effective under
          the 1933 Act and, to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order
          suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been
          issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or is
          pending or contemplated under the 1933 Act.  Other than financial
          statements and other financial and operating data and schedules
          contained therein, as to which counsel need express no opinion, the
          Registration Statement, all Preliminary Prospectuses, the Prospectus
          and any amendment or supplement thereto, appear on their face to
          conform as to form in all material respects with the requirements of
          Form S-3 under the 1933 Act Regulations and the Partnership is
          entitled to use the Form S-3 in connection with the Registration
          Statement and the offering of the Units contemplated thereby.

               (xvii)    Such counsel has no reason to believe that the
          Registration Statement, or any further amendment thereto made prior to
          the Closing Time, on its effective date and as of the Closing Time,
          contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
          omitted or omits to state any 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 made prior
          to the Closing Time, as of its issue date and as of the Closing Time,
          contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
          omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make
          the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
          were made, not misleading (provided that such counsel need express no
          belief regarding the financial statements and related schedules and
          other financial data contained in the Registration Statement, any
          amendment thereto, or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
          thereto).

               (xviii)   Neither the Company nor either of the Partnerships is,
          or solely as a result of the consummation of the transactions
          contemplated hereby will become, an "investment company," or a company
          "controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the
          Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

               (xix)     The descriptions in the Prospectus of statutes,
          regulations, legal or governmental proceedings, and, to the extent
          that they constitute a summary of such documents, the Depositary
          Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the Acquisition Agreements
          therein described, are

                                       18

<PAGE>

          accurate in all material respects and present fairly a summary of the
          information required to be shown under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act
          Regulations.  The information in the Prospectus under the caption
          "Federal Income Tax Considerations" to the extent that it constitutes
          statements of law or legal conclusions, has been reviewed by such
          counsel, is correct and presents fairly the information required to be
          disclosed therein under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.

               In rendering the foregoing opinion, such counsel may rely on the
following:

                    (A)  as to matters involving the application of laws other
               than the laws of the United States and jurisdictions in which
               they are admitted, to the extent such counsel deems proper and to
               the extent specified in such opinion, upon an opinion or opinions
               (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Underwriters'
               counsel) of other counsel familiar with the applicable laws, and

                    (B)  as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper,
               on certificates of responsible officers of the Partnership and
               the Partnership, representations, warranties and certificates of
               certain shareholders of the Company and partners of the
               Partnership and certificates or other written statements of
               officers or departments of various jurisdictions, having custody
               of documents respecting the existence or good standing of the
               Company and the Partnership provided that copies of all such
               opinions, statements or certificates shall be delivered to
               Underwriters' counsel.  The opinion of counsel for the
               Partnership shall state that the opinion of any other counsel, or
               certificate or written statement, on which such counsel is
               relying is in form satisfactory to such counsel and that you and
               they are justified in relying thereon.

          (c)  At the Closing Time, you shall have received a favorable opinion
     from Haynes and Boone, L.L.P., counsel for the Underwriters, dated as of
     the Closing Time, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Units, the
     Registration Statement, the Prospectus and other related matters as the
     Underwriters may reasonably require, and the Partnership shall have
     furnished to such counsel such documents as they may reasonably request for
     the purpose of enabling them to pass on such matters.

          (d)  At the Closing Time, (i) the Registration Statement and the
     Prospectus, as they may then be amended or supplemented, shall contain all
     statements that are required to be stated therein under the 1933 Act and
     the 1933 Act Regulations and in all material respects shall conform to the
     requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations; the Partnership
     shall have complied in all material respects with Rule 430A (if it shall
     have elected to rely thereon) and neither the Registration Statement nor
     the Prospectus, as they may then be amended or supplemented, shall 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, (ii) there shall not have been, since the respective dates
     as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, any
     material adverse change in the business, prospects, properties, assets,
     results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any of the
     Partnerships, the Company or the Business Trust, whether or not arising in
     the ordinary course of business, (iii) no action, suit or proceeding at law
     or in equity shall be pending or, to the best of Partnership's knowledge,
     threatened against any of the Partnerships, the Company or the Business
     Trust that would be required to be set forth in the Prospectus other than
     as set forth therein and no proceedings shall be pending or, to the best
     knowledge of the Partnership, threatened against any of the Partnerships,
     the Company or the Business Trust before or by any federal, state or other
     commission, board or administrative agency wherein an unfavorable decision,
     ruling or finding could materially adversely affect the business,
     prospects, assets, results of operations or condition (financial or
     otherwise) of any of the Partnerships, the Company or the Business Trust,
     other than as set forth in the Prospectus, (iv) the Partnership and the
     Company shall have complied with all agreements and satisfied all
     conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the
     Closing Time, and (v) the representations and warranties of the Partnership
     and the Company set forth in Section 1 shall be accurate as though
     expressly made at and as of the Closing Time.  At the Closing Time, you
     shall have received a certificate executed by the Chairman of the Board and
     President of the Company and the general partner of the Partnership, dated
     as of the Closing Time, to such effect and with respect to certain
     additional

                                       19

<PAGE>

     matters, including, without limitation: (A) the Registration Statement has
     become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop order suspending the
     effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the
     use of the Prospectus has been issued, and no proceedings for that purpose
     have been instituted or are pending or, to the best of their knowledge,
     threatened under the 1933 Act; and (B) they have reviewed the Registration
     Statement and the Prospectus and, when the Registration Statement became
     effective and at all times subsequent thereto up to the delivery of such
     certificate, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any
     amendments or supplements thereto contained all statements and information
     required to be included therein or necessary to make the statements therein
     not misleading and neither the Registration Statement nor the Prospectus
     nor any amendment or supplement thereto included any untrue statement of a
     material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and,
     since the effective date of the Registration Statement, there has occurred
     no event required to be set forth in an amended or supplemented Prospectus
     that has not been so set forth.

          (e)  At the time that this Agreement is executed by the Partnership
     and the Company, you shall have received from each accountant or accounting
     firm referenced under "Experts" in the Registration Statement and the
     Prospectus (the "Accountants"), a letter, dated the date hereof, in form
     and substance satisfactory to you, together with signed or reproduced
     copies of such letter for each of the other Underwriters, confirming that
     they are independent public accountants with respect to the Partnership or
     the specified entities, as the case may be, within the meanings of the 1933
     Act and 1933 Act Regulations, and stating in effect that:

               (i)  in their opinion, the financial statements and any
          supplementary financial information and schedules included in the
          Registration Statement or incorporated by reference therein, as the
          case may be, and covered by their opinions therein comply as to form
          in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements
          of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations;

               (ii) the financial statements of the Partnership and the
          specified entities, to the extent applicable, as of and for the three-
          month period ended March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively
          or as of and for such other periods as are covered by their opinion,
          were reviewed by them in accordance with the standards established by
          the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and based upon
          their review, they are not aware of any material modifications that
          should be made to such financial statements for them to be in
          conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and such
          financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with
          the applicable accounting requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933
          Act Regulations;

               (iii)     with respect to Deloitte & Touche LLP only, on the
          basis of limited procedures (set forth in detail in such letter and
          made in accordance with such procedures as may be specified by you)
          not constituting an audit in accordance with generally accepted
          auditing standards, consisting of (but not limited to) a reading of
          the latest available internal unaudited financial statements of the
          Partnership, a reading of the minute books of the Partnership and the
          Company, inquiries of officials of the Partnership and the Company
          responsible for financial and accounting matters, a reading of the
          unaudited pro forma financial statements included in the Registration
          Statement and the Prospectus and such other inquiries and procedures
          as may be specified in such letter, nothing came to their attention
          that caused them to believe that:

                    (A)  any unaudited income statement data and balance sheet
               items included in the Prospectus do not agree with corresponding
               items in the unaudited financial statements from which such data
               and items were derived, and any such unaudited data and items
               were not determined on a basis substantially consistent with the
               basis for the corresponding amounts in the audited financial
               statements included in the Prospectus;

                    (B)  any unaudited pro forma financial information included
               in the Prospectus does not comply as to form in all material
               respects with the applicable accounting

                                       20

<PAGE>

               requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations or the
               pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to
               historical amounts in the compilation of that information;

                    (C)  at a specified date not more than five days prior to
               the date of delivery of such letter, there was any change in the
               capital stock, any increase in debt and any decrease in
               Unitholders' equity from that set forth in the Partnership's
               balance sheet at March 31, 1996, except as described in such
               letter; and

                    (D)  for the period from March 31, 1996 to a specified date
               not more than five days prior to the date of delivery of such
               letter, there were any decreases in total revenues, or increases
               in total expenses, depreciation and amortization or net loss for
               the Current Properties, in each case as compared with the
               corresponding period of the preceding year, except in each case
               for decreases which the Prospectus discloses have occurred or may
               occur or which are described in such letter; and

               (iv) with respect to Deloitte & Touche LLP only, in addition to
          the procedures referred to in clause (ii) above and the examination
          referred to in their reports included in the Registration Statement,
          they have carried out certain specified procedures, not constituting
          an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
          with respect to certain amounts, percentages and financial information
          specified by you which are derived from the general accounting records
          of the Partnership, which appear in the Registration Statement or the
          exhibits or schedules thereto and are specified by you, and have
          compared such amounts, percentages and financial information with the
          accounting records of the Partnership and with material derived from
          such records and have found them to be in agreement.

          (f)  At the Closing Time, you shall have received from each of the
     Accountants a letter, in form and substance satisfactory to you and dated
     as of the Closing Time, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements
     made in the letters furnished pursuant to subsection (e) above, except that
     the specified date referred to shall be a date not more than five days
     prior to the Closing Time.

          (g)  In the event that either of the letters to be delivered pursuant
     to subsections (e) and (f) above sets forth any such changes, decreases or
     increases, it shall be a further condition to your obligations that you
     shall have reasonably determined, after discussions with officers of the
     Company responsible for financial and accounting matters regarding the
     Partnership and with Deloitte & Touche, LLP, that such changes, decreases
     or increases as are set forth in such letters do not reflect a material
     adverse change in the capitalization, long-term debt, or Unitholders'
     equity of the Partnership as compared with the amounts shown in the latest
     consolidated audited balance sheet of the Partnership, or a material
     adverse change in total revenues or Unitholders' equity, as compared with
     the corresponding period of the prior year.

          (h)  At the Closing Time, counsel for the Underwriters shall have been
     furnished with all such documents, certificates and opinions as they may
     request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the issuance and sale
     of the Units as contemplated in this Agreement and the matters referred to
     in Section 5(d) and in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of
     any of the representations, warranties or statements of the Partnership or
     the Partnership, the performance of any of the covenants of the Partnership
     or the Partnership, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions herein
     contained; and all proceedings taken by the Partnership at or prior to the
     Closing Time in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the
     Units as contemplated in this Agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in
     form and substance to you and to counsel for the Underwriters.  The
     Partnership and the Company will furnish you with such number of conformed
     copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as you shall
     reasonably request.

          (i)  The NASD, upon review of the terms of the public offering of the
     Units, shall not have objected to such offering, such terms or the
     Underwriters' participation in the same.

                                       21

<PAGE>

          (j)  Subsequent to the date hereof there shall not have occurred any
     of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in
     securities generally or in the Units on the New York Stock Exchange or
     American Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market, (ii) a general
     moratorium on commercial banking activities in Delaware or New York
     declared by either Federal or state authorities, as the case may be, or
     (iii) 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 (iii) in your
     reasonable judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with
     the public offering or the delivery of the Units on the terms and in the
     manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

          (k)  The Partnership shall have provided to the Underwriters copies of
     owner's title insurance policies relating to each of the Current Properties
     and copies of the proposed title commitments for each of the Acquisition
     Properties.

          (l)  The Partnership shall have provided to the Underwriters executed
     lock-up agreements from the Company, Robert J. Stetson, Fred H. Margolin,
     Darrell Rolph, David Rolph, Gerald H. Graham and Eugene G. Taper, in form
     and substance satisfactory to you, pursuant to which each has agreed not to
     sell any of its or his Units or any securities convertible into or
     exchangeable for Units, for the Lock-Up Period.

     If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not have been
fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement to be fulfilled, this Agreement
may be terminated by you on notice to the Partnership 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. Notwithstanding any such
termination, the provisions of Section 7 shall remain in effect.

     Section 6.  CONDITIONS TO PURCHASE OF OPTION UNITS.  In the event that the
Underwriters exercise the option granted in Section 2 hereof to purchase all or
any part of the Option Units and the Date of Delivery determined by you pursuant
to Section 2 hereof is later than the Closing Time, the obligations of the
several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Option Units that they shall
have respectively agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement are subject to
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Partnership and the
Partnership herein contained, to the performance by the Partnership and the
Partnership of their obligations hereunder and to the following further
conditions:

          (a)  The Registration Statement shall remain effective at the Date of
     Delivery, and, at the Date of Delivery, no stop order suspending the
     effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued under
     the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted
     or shall be pending or to your knowledge or the knowledge of the
     Partnership, shall be contemplated by the Commission, and any request on
     the part of the Commission for additional information shall have been
     complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of counsel for the
     Underwriters.

          (b)  At the Date of Delivery, the provisions of Sections 5(d)(i)
     through 5(d)(v) shall have been complied with at and as of the Date of

     certificate executed by the Chairman of the Board and President of the
     Company and the general partner of the Partnership, dated as of the Date of
     Delivery, to such effect and to the effect set forth in clauses (A) and (B)
     of Section 5(d).

          (c)  At the Date of Delivery, you shall have received an opinion of
     Middleberg, Riddle & Gianna, counsel for the Company and the Partnership
     together with signed or reproduced copies of such opinion for each of the
     other Underwriters, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the
     Underwriters, dated as of the Date of Delivery, relating to the Option
     Units and otherwise to the same effect as the opinion required by Section
     5(b).

          (d)  At the Date of Delivery, you shall have received an opinion of
     Haynes and Boone, L.L.P., counsel for the Underwriters, dated as of the

     effect as the opinion required by Section 5(c).

                                       22

<PAGE>

          (e)  At the Date of Delivery, you shall have received a letter from
     each of the Accountants, in form and substance satisfactory to you and
     dated as of the Date of Delivery, to the effect that they reaffirm the
     statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to Section 5(e), except
     that the specified date referred to shall be a date not more than five days
     prior to the Date of Delivery.

          (f)  At the Date of Delivery, counsel for the Underwriters shall have
     been furnished with all such documents, certificates and opinions as they
     may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the
     issuance and sale of the Option Units as contemplated in this Agreement and
     the matters referred to in Section 6(a) and in order to evidence the
     accuracy and completeness of any of the representations, warranties or
     statements of the Partnership and the Company, the performance of any of
     the covenants of the Partnership and the Partnership, or the fulfillment of
     any of the conditions herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the
     Partnership at or prior to the Date of Delivery in connection with the
     authorization, issuance and sale of the Option Units as contemplated in
     this Agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
     you and to counsel for the Underwriters.

     Section 7.  INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.  (a) The Company and the
Partnership, jointly and severally, 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 1933 Act, the
1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any breach of any
warranty or covenant of the Company or the Partnership herein contained or any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, 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 loss,
claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company or the
Partnership 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, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any
such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Partnership by any Underwriter expressly for use
therein; provided further, that the indemnity agreement contained in Section
7(a) with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit
of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities purchased the Units which are the subject thereof (or to
the benefit of any person controlling such Underwriter), if such Underwriter
failed to send or give a copy of the Prospectus to such person at or prior to
the written confirmation of the sale of such Units to such person in any case
where such delivery is required by the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations and
if the Prospectus would have cured any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission giving rise to such loss, claim,
damage or liability.  In addition to their other obligations under this Section
7(a), the Company and the Partnership agree that as an interim measure during
the pendency of any such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other
proceeding arising out of or based upon any statement or omission, or any
alleged statement or omission, described in this Section 7(a), they will
reimburse the Underwriters on a monthly basis for all reasonable legal and other
expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim,
action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, notwithstanding the absence
of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the
Company's and the Partnership's obligation to reimburse the Underwriters for
such expenses and the possibility that such payments might later be held to have
been improper by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Any such interim
reimbursement payments that are not made to an Underwriter within 30 days of a
request for reimbursement shall bear interest at the prime rate (or reference
rate or other commercial lending rate for borrowers of the highest credit
standing) published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal (the "Prime
Rate") from the date of such request.  This indemnity agreement shall be in
addition to any liabilities that the Company and the Partnership may otherwise
have.  For purposes of this Section 7, the information set forth in the last
paragraph on the front cover page (insofar as such information relates to the
Underwriters) and under "Underwriting" in any Preliminary Prospectus and in the
Prospectus constitutes the only information furnished by the Underwriters to the
Partnership for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or the
Registration Statement.  Neither the Company nor the Partnership will, without
the prior written consent of each Underwriter, settle or compromise or consent
to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened action or claim or
related cause of action or portion of such cause of action in respect of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not such Underwriter is a
party to such action or

                                       23

<PAGE>

claim), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of such Underwriter from all liability arising out of such action or
claim (or related cause of action or portion thereof).

     The indemnity agreement in this Section 7(a) shall extend upon the same
terms and conditions to, and shall inure to the benefit of, each person, if any,
who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
to the same extent as such agreement applies to the Underwriters.

     (b)  Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, will indemnify and hold
harmless the Partnership against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which the Partnership may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any breach of any warranty or
covenant by such Underwriter herein contained or any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, 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, the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Partnership by such Underwriter expressly for use therein; and will reimburse
the Partnership for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Partnership in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action.  In addition to its other obligations under this
Section 7(b), the Underwriters agree that, as an interim measure during the
pendency of any such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding
arising out of or based upon any statement or omission, or any alleged statement
or omission, described in this Section 7(b), they will reimburse the Partnership
on a monthly basis for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action,
investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, notwithstanding the absence of a
judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of their
obligation to reimburse the Partnership for such expenses and the possibility
that such payments might later be held to have been improper by a court of
competent jurisdiction.  Any such interim reimbursement payments that are not
made to the Partnership within 30 days of a request for reimbursement shall bear
interest at the Prime Rate from the date of such request.  This indemnity
agreement shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Underwriters may
otherwise have.  No Underwriter will, without the prior written consent of the
Partnership, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any
pending or threatened action or claim or related cause of action or portion of
such cause of action in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder
(whether or not the Partnership is a party to such action or claim), unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the
Partnership from all liability arising out of such action or claim (or related
cause of action or portion thereof).

     The indemnity agreement in this Section 7(b) shall extend upon the same
terms and conditions to, and shall inure to the benefit of, each officer and
director of the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act to the same extent as such
agreement applies to the Partnership.

     (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; no indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(b)
shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in
this Section 7(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the
proceeding to which such notice would have related and was prejudiced by the
failure to give such notice, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may
have to any indemnified party otherwise than under Section 7. 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 or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such

                                       24

<PAGE>

indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation, except that if the indemnified party has been advised by
counsel in writing that there are one or more defenses available to the
indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to
the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of
such separate counsel for the indemnified party shall be paid by the
indemnifying party; provided, however, that if the indemnifying party is the
Partnership, the Partnership shall only be obligated to pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of a single law firm (and any reasonably necessary local counsel)
employed by all of the indemnified parties and the persons referred to in
Section 7(a) hereof.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

     (d)  It is agreed that any controversy arising out of the operation of the
interim reimbursement arrangements set forth in Section 7(a) and 7(b) hereof,
including the amounts of any requested reimbursement payments, the method of
determining such amounts and the basis on which such amounts shall be
apportioned among the indemnifying parties, shall be settled by arbitration
conducted pursuant to the Code of Arbitration Procedure of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  Any such arbitration must be commenced
by service of a written demand for arbitration or a written notice of intention
to arbitrate, therein electing the arbitration tribunal.  In the event the party
demanding arbitration does not make such designation of an arbitration tribunal
in such demand or notice, then the party responding to said demand or notice is
authorized to do so.  Any such arbitration will be limited to the operation of
the interim reimbursement provisions contained in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) hereof
and will not resolve the ultimate propriety or enforceability of the obligation
to indemnify for expenses that is created by the provisions of Sections 7(a) and
7(b).

     (e)  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances under which the indemnity provided for in this Section 7 is for
any reason judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by
a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the
denial of the right of appeal) to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties
although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the
Partnership, on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall contribute
to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature
contemplated by such indemnity incurred by the Partnership or the Company and
one or more of the Underwriters, as incurred, in such proportions that (a) the
Underwriters are responsible pro rata for that portion represented by the
percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the
Prospectus bears to the public offering price (before deducting expenses)
appearing thereon, and (b) the Company and the Partnership are responsible for
the balance, provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentations (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; provided, further, that if the allocation provided
above is not permitted by applicable law, the Company and the Partnership, on
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall contribute to the aggregate
losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Company and the
Partnership, on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
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 to
state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the
Partnership on the one hand or by the Underwriters on the other hand and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company, the Partnership and
the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
pursuant to this Section 7(e) 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 Section 7(e).  The amount paid or payable by a party
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above
shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably
incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending such action
or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(e), no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Units 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.  The Underwriters'
obligations in this Section 7(e) to contribute are several in

                                       25

<PAGE>

proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.  For
purposes of this Section 7(e), 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 Partnership, each
officer of the Partnership who signed the Registration Statement, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company or the Partnership within the meaning
of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Partnership.

     Section 8.  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS TO SURVIVE DELIVERY.
The representations, warranties, indemnities, agreements and other statements of
the Company or the Partnership or their respective officers set forth in or made
pursuant to this Agreement will remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Partnership, the
Company  or any Underwriter or controlling person, with respect to an
Underwriter or the Company or the Partnership, and will survive delivery of and
payment for the Units or termination of this Agreement.

     Section 9.  EFFECTIVE DATE OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION. (a) This Agreement
shall become effective immediately as to Sections 4 and 7 and, as to all other
provisions, (i) if at the time of execution of this Agreement the Registration
Statement has not become effective, at 10:00 a.m., on the first full business
day following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) if at the
time of execution of this Agreement the Registration Statement has been declared
effective, at 10:00 a.m. on the first full business day following the date of
execution of this Agreement; but this Agreement shall nevertheless become
effective at such earlier time after the Registration Statement becomes
effective as you may determine on and by notice to the Partnership or by release
of any of the Units for sale to the public.  For the purposes of this Section 9,
the Units shall be deemed to have been so released upon the release of
publication of any newspaper advertisement relating to the Units or upon the
release by you of telegrams (i) advising the Underwriters that the Units are
released for public offering, or (ii) offering the Units for sale to securities
dealers, whichever may occur first.  By giving notice, as set forth in
Section 9(b) hereof, before the time this Agreement becomes effective, you, as
Representative of the several Underwriters, or the Partnership, may prevent this
Agreement from becoming effective, without liability of any party to any other
party, except that the Partnership shall remain obligated to pay costs and
expenses to the extent provided in Section 4 hereof.

     (b)  You may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Partnership, at any
time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) in accordance with the last paragraph
of Section 5 of this Agreement, or (ii) if there has been since the respective
dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, any
material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material
adverse change, in or affecting the business, prospects, management, properties,
assets, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company, the Partnerships or the Business Trust, whether or not arising in the
ordinary course of business, or (iii) if there has occurred or accelerated any
outbreak of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis or
change in economic or political conditions the effect of which on the financial
markets of the United States is such as to make it, in your judgment,
impracticable to market the Units or enforce contracts for the sale of the
Units, or (iv) if trading in any securities of the Partnership has been
suspended by the Commission or by the NASD, or if trading generally on the New
York Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market has been suspended, or
limitations on prices for trading (other than limitations on hours or numbers of
days of trading) have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities
have been required, by such exchange or the NASD or by order of the Commission
or any other governmental authority, or (v) if a banking moratorium has been
declared by federal or New York or Delaware authorities, or (vi) any federal or
state statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental
authority has been enacted, published, decreed or otherwise promulgated which in
your reasonable opinion materially adversely affects or will materially
adversely affect the business or operations of the Company or the Partnership,
or (vii) any action has been taken by any federal, state or local government or
agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs which in your reasonable
opinion has a material adverse effect on the securities markets in the United
States.

     (c)  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9, such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except
to the extent provided in Section 4. Notwithstanding any such termination, the
provisions of Section 7 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 Units that it or
they are obligated to purchase pursuant to this Agreement (the "Defaulted
Securities"), you shall have the right, within 36 hours thereafter, to make
arrangements for one or more

                                       26

<PAGE>

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 set forth in this Agreement; if, however, you
have not completed such arrangements within such 36-hour period, then:

          (a)  If the aggregate number of Firm Units which are Defaulted
     Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Firm Units to be
     purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall
     be obligated to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that
     their respective underwriting obligation proportions bear to the
     underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, and

          (b)  If the aggregate number of Firm Units which are Defaulted
     Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Firm Units to be
     purchased pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate
     without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

     No action taken pursuant to this Section 10 shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

     In the event of any such default that does not result in a termination of
this Agreement, either you or the Partnership 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 Prospectus or in any other
documents or arrangements, and the Partnership agrees promptly to file any
amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus that
may thereby be made necessary.  As used in this Agreement, the term
"Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this
Section 10.

     Section 11.  DEFAULT BY THE PARTNERSHIP.  If the Partnership shall fail at
the Closing Time to sell and deliver the aggregate number of Firm Units that it
is obligated to sell, then this Agreement shall terminate without any liability
on the part of any non-defaulting party, except to the extent provided in
Section 4 and except that the provisions of Section 7 shall remain in effect.

     No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve the Partnership or
the Company from liability, if any, in respect to such default.

     Section 12.  NOTICES.  All notices and other communications under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
delivered, mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication.

     Section 13.  PARTIES.  This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of and
is binding upon the Underwriters, the Partnership and the Partnership and, to
the extent provided in Section 7, any person controlling the Company, the
Partnership, or any of the Underwriters, the officers and directors of the

acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.  The term
"successors and assigns" shall not include any purchaser, as such purchaser,
from any of the several Underwriters of the Units.

     All of the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder are several and not

DATED: JUNE ____, 1996


<PAGE>



                     U.S. RESTAURANT PROPERTIES MASTER L.P.

                          UNITS OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS

                            SELECTED DEALER AGREEMENT

                                                                   June __, 1996

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have severally agreed to purchase from U.S. Restaurant Properties Master
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), 1,800,000 Units of
beneficial interest, of the Partnership (the "Firm Units").  In addition, the
Partnership proposes to grant us, upon the terms stated in the Underwriting
Agreement, the right to purchase up to 270,000 additional Units (the "Option
Units"), identical to the Firm Units, for the sole purpose of covering over-
allotments in connection with the sale of the Firm Units.  The Firm Units and
the Option Units, if purchased, are collectively referred to herein as the
"Units." The Units are described in the enclosed Prospectus, the receipt of
which you hereby acknowledge.

     1.   OFFERING TO SELECTED DEALERS.  We are severally offering part of the
Units for sale to certain dealers (the "Selected Dealers"), as principals,
subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the Prospectus, at the
public offering price of $________ per Unit, less a concession of $________
(such concession hereinafter referred to as the "Selected Dealers' Concession").
Sales of the Units to you pursuant to such offering will be evidenced by our
written confirmation and will be on such terms and conditions set forth therein
and in the Prospectus.  In purchasing Units, you will rely upon no statement
whatsoever, written or oral, other than statements in the Prospectus.

     2.   REOFFERING BY SELECTED DEALERS.  We are advising you by telegram of
the method and terms of the offering.  Acceptances of any reserved Units
received at the office of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., 50 Front Street,
Memphis, Tennessee 38103, after the time specified therefor in the telegram and
any order for additional Units will be subject to rejection in whole or in part.
Subscription books may be closed by us at any time in our discretion without
notice and the right is reserved to reject any subscription in whole or in part,
but notification of allotments against and rejections of subscriptions will be
made as promptly as practicable.

     We are advising you in such telegram of the release by us of the Units for
public offering and of the public offering price of the Units.  Upon receipt of
such advice, the Units thereafter purchased by you hereunder are to be offered
by you to the public at the public offering price, subject to the terms thereof.
You agree that in selling Units purchased hereunder you will comply with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Except as herein otherwise
provided, Units shall not be offered or sold by you below the public offering
price before the termination of this Agreement, except that a concession from
such public offering price of not in excess of $_______ of the public offering
price may be allowed to dealers who are members in good standing of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or foreign dealers, not
eligible for membership in the NASD, who agreed, when making sales of Units to
purchasers outside the United States, to comply with the Interpretations with
Respect to Free-Riding and Withholding of the NASD.

     It is assumed that Units sold by you will be effectively placed for
investment.  If we contract for or purchase in the open market or otherwise for
our account any Units sold to you and not effectively placed for investment, we
may charge you the Selected Dealers' Concession originally allowed you on the
Units so repurchased, and you agree to pay such amount to us on demand.  Units
so delivered to us against any such repurchase need not be the identical Units
originally purchased by you.

     You will advise us upon request of Units purchased by you remaining unsold,
and we shall have the right to repurchase such unsold Units on demand at the
public offering price less all or part of the Selected Dealers' Concession.

<PAGE>

     3.   PAYMENT AND DELIVERY.  Payment for Units purchased by you shall be
made by you on such dates and at such places as we advise you, by certified or
bank cashiers' check payable to the order of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. in
such clearing house funds as we advise, against delivery of such Units.
Delivery instructions must be in our hands at the offices of Morgan Keegan &
Company, Inc., 50 Front Street, Memphis, Tennessee 38103, at such times as we
request.  Notwithstanding such provisions, payment for and delivery of Units
purchased by you hereunder will be made through the facilities of the Depository
Trust Company, if you are a member, unless you have otherwise notified us prior
to the date specified in our telegrams to you, or if you are not a member,
settlement may be made through a correspondent who is a member pursuant to the
instructions which you will send to us prior to such specified date.

     The above payment shall be made by you at the public offering price, or if
we so advise you, at a net price equal to the public offering price less the
Selected Dealers' Concession.  If payment is made by you at the public offering
price, the Selected Dealers' Concession payable to you hereunder shall be paid
promptly after the termination of this Agreement (or on such earlier date as we
may determine), except that the Selected Dealers' Concession may be withheld and
canceled, at our discretion, as to Units which we have repurchased as set forth
in the third paragraph of Section 2 hereof.

     4.   POSITION OF SELECTED DEALERS AND UNDERWRITERS.  You represent that you
are a member in good standing of the NASD or that you are a foreign bank, dealer
or institution, not eligible for membership in the NASD, who agrees not to offer
or sell any Units in the United States of America, its territories or
possessions or to persons who are citizens thereof or residents therein.  In
making sales of Units, if you are such a member, you agree to comply with all
applicable rules of the NASD, including without limitation, the NASD's
Interpretation with Respect to Free-Riding and Withholding and Section 24 of
Article III of the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice, or, if you are a foreign bank,
dealer or institution, you agree to comply with such Interpretations and
Sections 8, 24, 25 (insofar as Section 25 applies to a non-member broker or
dealer in a foreign country) and 36 of such Article III as though you were such
a member, and with Section 25 of Article III as it applies to a non-member
broker or dealer in a foreign country.  You also confirm that you have complied
with the prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with your prior oral undertaking
to do so.

     You are not authorized to give any information or make any representations
other than as contained in the Prospectus, or to act as agent for any
Underwriter or us.  Nothing contained herein shall constitute the Selected
Dealers an association, unincorporated business or other separate entity or
partners with us or with each other, but you shall be liable for your
proportionate share of any tax, liability or expense based on any claims to the
contrary.  Nor shall we be under any liability to you, except for obligations
expressly assumed by us in this Agreement, and no obligation on our part shall
be implied or inferred herefrom.

     5.   BLUE SKY MATTERS.  Upon application by us, we will inform you as to
the jurisdictions in which we believe the Units have been qualified for sale
under, or are exempt from the requirements of, the respective laws of such
jurisdictions, but we assume no responsibility or obligation as to your right to
sell Shares in any jurisdiction.

     6.   NOTICES.  All communications from you to us shall be addressed to
Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., 50 Front Street, Memphis, Tennessee 38103.  Any
notice from us to you shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or
telegraphed to you at the address to which this letter is mailed.

     7.   TERMINATION.  This Agreement shall terminate thirty (30) days after
the date hereof unless extended by us for a period or periods of not exceeding
an additional thirty (30) days in the aggregate and, whether extended or not,
may be terminated by us at any time.  Such termination shall not affect your
obligation to pay for any Units purchased by you or any of the provisions of
Section 4 hereof.
