                             FORM OF RESPONSE LETTER


April 21, 1998

Re:      DiVall Insured Income Fund 2 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 $400 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 $21,494,600.

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 IN 1997?

Your General Partner stated your Partnership units are worth  approximately $500
each. One year ago, your General Partner stated in the Partnership's 1996 Annual
Report  your  Partnership  units  were  worth  approximately  $470  each.  It is
difficult for us to understand how your  Partnership  units could have increased
in  value  over the  past  year by 6%,  when  the Net  Operating  Income  of the
Partnership DECREASED in 1997 by approximately 8%. We also cannot fathom how the
value  of the  Partnership's  units  could  have  increased  since  three of the
Partnership's  Hardee's  restaurants  were sold during  1997 and sales  proceeds
distributed  to the Limited  Partners.  Finally,  does this new General  Partner
value take into the consideration the anticipated return of capital distribution
of $45 per unit from the sale of the Partnership's two

Florida Denny's restaurants? The Partnership's primary assets are the restaurant
properties. If properties are sold, and sales proceeds paid out to the Partners,
it seems  logical  to expect  the  residual  value of the  Partnership  units to
decrease proportionately.

                         IS USV TRYING TO "LOWBALL" YOU?

USV's Tender Offer price was derived  utilizing a methodology  which assumed the
sale of all the  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.  The  portfolio  value  was  adjusted  to  reflect  the  sale of any
properties  during the year.  This method for  valuing  property  portfolios  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 past 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 Limited Partners 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.
