(the "Partnership"), at a purchase price of $575 per Interest, net to the seller
in cash,  upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Bidder's

                             FORM OF RESPONSE LETTER


April 21, 1998

Re:      DiVall Insured Income Fund L.P. (the "Partnership")
         Offer of U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc.

Dear Limited Partner:

By now, you should have received an Offer to Purchase  dated March 27, 1998 from
U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc. (NYSE:USV) in which we are offering to purchase
units of the Partnership at a price of $575 each. In addition, you may have also
received a letter dated March 31, 1998 from your General Partner,  urging you to
reject  USV's  Tender  Offer.  While we certainly do not want to get into a "mud
slinging"  contest,  we believe your General  Partner's  letter contains certain
inaccuracies which should be addressed.

Consider the following:

              IS YOUR GENERAL PARTNER TELLING YOU THE WHOLE STORY?

In his letter to the Limited Partners,  Mr. Provo describes USV as attempting to
"cheaply and cleverly" acquire your Partnership's  properties by making a Tender
Offer for your Partnership's units. According to Mr. Provo, the proper course of
action  would  have  USV  submitting  a bid  to  buy  the  properties  from  the
Partnership.  Unfortunately,  Mr. Provo fails to mention that in January of this
year, USV DID present a bid to Mr. Provo to buy your Partnership's properties at
an aggregate price of $14,975,000.

In  response to USV's  January  1998  purchase  offer for the  properties,  your
General  Partner  informed USV the PARTNERSHIP WAS NOT FOR SALE. Now, two months
later,  your General  Partner says the  PARTNERSHIP IS FOR SALE, and competitive
bids for the  properties  should be  entertained.  If your General  Partner felt
USV's January offer of the properties was low, why didn't he begin negotiations?
Furthermore, why didn't your General Partner inform the Limited Partners that an
offer for the properties had even been made?

     DID YOUR PARTNERSHIP UNITS REALLY INCREASE IN VALUE BY 20% IN ONE YEAR?

Your  General  Partner has stated your  Partnership  units are  presently  worth
approximately  $660  each.  One year ago,  your  General  Partner  stated in the
Partnership's 1996 Annual Report your Partnership units were worth approximately
$550 each. It is difficult for us to understand how your Partnership units could
have  increased  in value  over the past  year by 20%,  especially  when the Net
Operating  Income of the  Partnership  increased by only 7%. We can only surmise
that  either last year's  value was too low, or this year's  value is  inflated.
Whatever the case,  the wide  variance  between the two values leaves us puzzled
over the methodology.



<PAGE>


                         IS USV TRYING TO "LOWBALL" YOU?

USV's Tender Offer price was derived  utilizing a methodology  which assumed the
sale of all the other properties at today's real estate values,  followed by the
liquidation of the  Partnership.  We estimated a value for the properties  based
upon  their  actual  cash  flow  as  reported  in  the  Partnership's  financial
statements.  This method for  valuing  properties  is widely  used and  accepted
through  the entire  real  estate  industry.  Over the past two  years,  USV has
acquired  over $300 million worth of  restaurant  properties  utilizing the same
property  valuation  techniques  employed  for the DiVall  Tender  Offer.  These
properties were purchased in a competitive  real estate  environment in numerous
transactions  negotiated  with a variety of sellers.  If USV was in the habit of
making  "lowball"  offers  for real  estate  properties,  we could not have been
nearly as successful in acquiring new properties over the last 24 months.  It is
clear from our recent  history that USV IS VERY WILLING TO OFFER FAIR PRICES FOR
GOOD ASSETS.

                 WHY IS USV TENDERING FOR MY PARTNERSHIP UNITS?

USV is making a Tender  Offer for  Partnership  units as a direct  result of The
Provo Group's  unwillingness to present our purchase offer for the properties to
the Limited Partners. We believe that Limited Partners should be allowed to make
their own decisions with respect to their investments.

                MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENT!

We are familiar with the history of your Partnership. Given all the difficulties
you have endured as investors in this  Partnership,  you have every reason to be
wary of any offers made relative to your investments. In spite of any misgivings
you might have, we urge you to simply review the terms of USV's Tender Offer. We
strongly disagree with your General Partner's assessment that USV's Tender Offer
price for units is inadequate.  As the old adage states, "There are two sides to
every story". Call your General Partner AND call us to hear what both sides have
to say about USV's Tender Offer.  We are not the corporate  "monsters" that your
General  Partner  would lead you to believe.  We have owned,  managed and leased
restaurant properties since 1986, and believe we know what restaurant properties
are worth.

Call us. Bob Coleman will be happy to take your call at (800) 449-8435. You will
not receive high pressure tactics, only answers to your questions.

Sincerely,


Robert J. Stetson, President
U.S. Restaurant Properties, Inc.
