          1.6 "Personal Property" shall mean, as to each Real Property, all

     the beneficial use or enjoyment of the Land or the Improvements and all
     rights or interests relating to any roads, alleys or parking areas adjacent

the Master Agreement) encumbering the Properties (but not the Assumed Loans
encumbering the Merger Agreement Properties). The portion of the Purchase Price
allocated to each Property (the "Allocated Purchase Price") is equal to the
Allocated Consideration (as defined in the Master Agreement) for such Property.
The Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
Master Agreement (including, without limitation, adjustments with respect to Net
Working Capital (as defined in the Master Agreement)) (the "Adjusted Purchase
Price"), shall be paid on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately
available federal funds.

     4. Transfer of Equity Interests.  Reference is hereby made to the
Properties listed on Exhibit 4 hereto (the "Equity Interest Properties").
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on the Closing Date
there shall be transferred, assigned and conveyed to Purchaser, in lieu of fee
simple title to the Equity Interest Properties, all of the beneficial ownership
interests in the partnership or limited liability company that owns each of the
Equity Interest Properties (collectively, the "Interests") on the following
terms and otherwise on the terms and conditions contained elsewhere in the
Agreement. Seller agrees to cause any of its affiliates or subsidiaries that own
Interests to transfer, assign and convey to Purchaser all such Interests on the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. The Interests shall be
transferred free and clear of any pledge, security interest or lien encumbering
the Interests (as opposed to the Equity Interest Properties) in whole or in
part.

        limited liability company that owns an Equity Interest Property. Seller
        and Purchaser agree that all items of income and loss of each such
        partnership or limited liability company that owns an Equity Interest
        Property for the tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be allocated

        Title Company evidencing the status and capacity of Purchaser and the
        authority of the person or persons who are executing the various
        documents on behalf of Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the
        Properties, and in any event copies of Purchaser's legal existence
        certificate from the State of Delaware and appropriate votes and
        authorizations to enter into and close the transactions contemplated in
        this Agreement;

             8.3.4 A duly executed original counterpart of a closing statement
        in accordance herewith;

             8.3.5 Duly executed counterparts of the Assumed Loan Lender Consent
        Documents required to be signed by Purchaser;

           8.3.6 Duly executed counterparts of the Assignment and Assumption of

          8.4 Close of Escrow.  Title Company shall close escrow on the Closing
     Date by:

             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.

                                        5

     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

        notice to be issued to Seller.
