WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Fund XVIII presently owns an undivided 81.8595% interest
in  and  to,  and  Joseph Nicoletta presently owns  an  undivided
7.0591%  interest in and to, and Wood presently owns an undivided

described upon Exhibit A attached hereto and hereby made  a  part
hereof)   and   in  and  to  the  improvements  located   thereon
(hereinafter called "Premises");

WHEREAS,  The  parties  hereto wish to provide  for  the  orderly
operation  and management of the Premises and Wood's interest  by
Fund  XVIII; the continued leasing of space within the  Premises;
for  the distribution of income from and the pro-rata sharing  in
expenses of the Premises.

NOW  THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase by  Wood  of  an
undivided  interest  in and to the Premises,  for  at  least  One
Dollar  ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration by  the
parties  hereto  to  one another in hand paid,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of  the  mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, it is hereby agreed by
and between the parties hereto, as follows:

1.    The  operation  and  management of the  Premises  shall  be
delegated  to Fund XVIII, or its designated agent, successors  or
assigns. Provided, however, if Fund XVIII shall sell all  of  its
interest  in  the  Premises, the duties and obligations  of  Fund
XVIII  respecting management of the Premises as set forth herein,
including but not limited to paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 hereof, shall
be exercised by the holder or holders of a majority undivided co-
tenancy interest in the Premises. Except as hereinafter expressly
provided to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees to be
bound  by  the  decisions  of  Fund XVIII  with  respect  to  all
administrative,  operational  and  management  matters   of   the
property  comprising the Premises, including but not  limited  to
the  management of the net lease agreement  for the Premises. The
parties  hereto  hereby designate Fund XVIII as  their  sole  and
exclusive  agent to deal with any property agent and  to  execute
leases of space within the Premises, including but not limited to
any  amendments,  consents  to assignment,  sublet,  releases  or
modifications  to  leases or guarantees  of  lease  or  easements
affecting the

Co-Tenancy Agreement for Applebee's Restaurant - Destin, FL







Premises,  on  behalf of Wood. Only Fund XVIII may obligate  Wood
with respect to any expense for the Premises.

      As  further  set  forth in paragraph 2 hereof,  Fund  XVIII
agrees to require any Tenant of the Premises to name Wood  as  an
insured  or additional insured in all insurance policies provided
for,  or  contemplated by, any lease on the Premises. Fund  XVIII
shall  use  its  best efforts to obtain endorsements  adding  Co-
Tenants   to  said  policies  from  Tenant  within  30  days   of
commencement  of this agreement. In any event, Fund  XVIII  shall
distribute  any insurance proceeds it may receive, to the  extent
consistent  with any lease on the Premises, to the Co-Tenants  in
proportion to their respective ownership of the Premises.

2.    Income and expenses shall be allocated among the Co-Tenants
in  proportion to their respective share(s) of ownership.  Shares
of  net income shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar  years
included within the term of this Agreement. Fund XVIII may offset
against,  pay to itself and deduct from any payment due  to  Wood
under  this Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount of Wood's
share  of any legitimate expenses of the Premises which  are  not
paid  by Wood to Fund XVIII or its assigns, within ten (10)  days
after  demand  by Fund XVIII. In the event there is  insufficient
operating  income  from which to deduct Wood's  unpaid  share  of
operating  expenses,  Fund XVIII may pursue  any  and  all  legal
remedies for collection.

Operating  Expenses  shall include all normal operating  expense,
including  but not limited to: maintenance, utilities,  supplies,
labor, management, advertising and promotional expenses, salaries
and wages of rental and management personnel, leasing commissions
to  third  parties, a monthly accrual to pay insurance  premiums,
real  estate taxes, installments of special assessments  and  for
structural repairs and replacements, management fees, legal  fees
and accounting fees, but excluding all operating expenses paid by
Tenant under terms of any lease agreement of the Entire Property.

Wood  has  elected  to retain, and agrees to annually  reimburse,
Fund  XVIII  in the amount of $556 for the expenses,  direct  and
indirect,   incurred   by  Fund  XVIII  in  providing   quarterly
accounting  and distributions of Wood's share of net  income  and
for  tracking, reporting and assessing the calculation of  Wood's
share  of  operating  expenses incurred from the  Premises.  This
invoice  amount  shall be pro-rated for partial  years  and  Wood
authorizes Fund XVIII to deduct such amount from Wood's share  of
revenue  from  the Premises.  Wood may terminate  this  agreement
respecting  quarterly  accounting  and  distributions   in   this
paragraph  at  any time and seek to collect its share  of  rental
stream directly from the tenant.

3.    Full, accurate and complete books of account shall be  kept
in  accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles  at
Fund  XVIII's  principal office, and each  Co-Tenant  shall  have
access  to  such books and may inspect and copy any part  thereof
during  normal business hours. Within ninety (90) days after  the
end  of  each  calendar year during the term hereof,  Fund  XVIII
shall  prepare an accurate income statement for the ownership  of
the  Premises for said calendar year and shall furnish copies  of
the  same to all Co-Tenants. Quarterly, as its share, Wood  shall
be  entitled  to  receive 11.0814% of all  items  of  income  and
expense generated by the Premises.  Upon receipt of said





Co-Tenant Initial: /s/ KTW /s/ KPW
Co-Tenancy Agreement for Applebee's Restaurant - Destin, FL





accounting,  if the payments received by each Co-Tenant  pursuant
to  this  Paragraph 3 do not equal, in the aggregate, the amounts
which  each are entitled to receive proportional to its share  of
ownership  with  respect  to  said  calendar  year  pursuant   to
Paragraph  2 hereof, an appropriate adjustment shall be  made  so
that each Co-Tenant receives the amount to which it is entitled.

4.    If  Net Income from the Premises is less than $0.00  (i.e.,
the  Premises  operates  at a loss), or if capital  improvements,
repairs, and/or replacements, for which adequate reserves do  not
exist,  need  to  be made to the Premises, the  Co-Tenants,  upon
receipt  of  a  written request therefor from Fund XVIII,  shall,
within  fifteen (15) business days after receipt of notice,  make
payment to Fund XVIII sufficient to pay said net operating losses
and  to provide necessary operating capital for the Premises  and
to   pay   for   said   capital  improvements,   repairs   and/or
replacements, all in proportion to their undivided  interests  in
and to the Premises.

5.    Co-Tenants  may, at any time, sell, finance,  or  otherwise
create  a lien upon their interest in the Premises but only  upon
their  interest  and not upon any part of the interest  held,  or
owned, by any other Co-Tenant.  All Co-Tenants reserve the  right
to escrow proceeds from a sale of their interests in the Premises
to obtain tax deferral by the purchase of replacement property.

6.    If any Co-Tenant shall be in default with respect to any of
its  obligations hereunder, and if said default is not  corrected
within  thirty  (30)  days after receipt by said  defaulting  Co-
Tenant  of written notice of said default, or within a reasonable
period  if  said default does not consist solely of a failure  to
pay money, the remaining Co-Tenant(s) may resort to any available
remedy to cure said default at law, in equity, or by statute,  or
set forth herein.

7.    This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect  and
shall  bind and inure to the benefit of the Co-Tenant  and  their
respective    heirs,    executors,    administrators,    personal
representatives,  successors  and  permitted  assigns  until  the
expiration  date plus extensions of the net lease  agreement   or
upon   the   sale   of  the  entire  Premises  and   proportional
disbursement  of  the  proceeds thereof,  whichever  shall  first
occur.   Unless  specifically identified as a  personal  contract
right  or  obligation herein, this agreement shall run  with  any
interest  in  the Premises and with the title thereto.  Once  any
person, party or entity has ceased to have an interest in fee  in
the  Premises,  it shall not be bound by, subject to  or  benefit
from  the terms hereof; but its heirs, executors, administrators,
personal representatives, successors or assigns, as the case  may
be, shall be substituted for it hereunder.

8.    Any notice or election required or permitted to be given or
served by any party hereto to, or upon any other, shall be deemed
given  or  served  in  accordance with  the  provisions  of  this
Agreement, if said notice or elections addressed as follows;
