<PAGE>   10

                    8.4.1  recording the Deeds;

                    8.4.2  causing Title Company to issue to Purchaser or its
               designee owner's policies of title insurance in the form required
               under the Master Agreement;

                    8.4.3  delivering to Purchaser original executed
               counterparts of the Bills of Sale, the FIRPTA Certificate, the
               State Certificates, each of the Assignments of Intangibles and
               Assignments of Leases, and Assignment and Assumption of Interests
               Agreement(s) and any other documents in escrow by Seller pursuant
               to Section 8.2;

                    8.4.4  delivering to Seller (i) original executed
               counterparts of the Bills of Sale, the Assignments of Intangibles
               and the Assignments of Leases and any other documents deposited
               in escrow by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.3 and (ii) funds in
               the amount of the Purchase Price, less the outstanding balance of
               the Assumed Loans and as adjusted for prorations, credits,
               closing costs and other adjustments provided for in the Master
               Agreement and this Agreement; and

                    8.4.5  delivering the Tenant Notices to the tenants by
               certified mail, return receipt requested, with copies to Seller
               and Purchaser.

          9.   Purchase Price Adjustment. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and
agree that (a) they and their affiliates are parties to the Merger Agreement and
the Master Agreement and (b) they each derive a direct benefit from the
transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement and the Master Agreement.
Although the Merger Agreement and the Master Agreement each provide for certain
prorations and adjustments to the consideration to be paid by the USRP Entities
to the First Washington Entities under the Transaction Documents, the
Transaction Documents provide for no adjustment to the consideration payable by
the USRP Entities to the First Washington Entities under the Merger Agreement,
except to the extent of adjustments based on the Assumed Loans encumbering the
Merger Agreement Properties, as more particularly set forth therein and in the
Partnership Interest Agreement. Accordingly, Purchaser and Seller have agreed
that the net debit or credit to the aggregate consideration payable under the
Transaction Documents shall be applied against the balance of the Purchase Price
due at Closing under this Agreement. The parties further acknowledge that
portions of such net debit or credit may be derived from the Merger Agreement
Properties (as defined in the Master Agreement), which are not included among
the Properties but instead are properties to be owned by an affiliate of
Purchaser from and after the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger
Agreement).

          10.  Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior
     to the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of the Master
     Agreement, and any such termination shall have the effects specified in
     Section 10.2 of the Master Agreement.

          11.  Miscellaneous.

               12.3 New Jersey.

               regulations promulgated thereunder and any amending or successor
               legislation and regulations (collectively, "ISRA"). Seller shall
               obtain and deliver to Purchaser prior to Closing a letter from
               the NJDEP or its successor stating that each of the Properties
               located in New Jersey does not constitute an "industrial
               establishment" within the meaning of ISRA. Seller shall notify

               there is no state lien as referred to in the New Jersey Spill

               commence suit pursuant to the New Jersey Environmental Rights
               Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:35A-1, et seq., and there is no basis for such
               notice to be issued to Seller.
