NOW  THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase by Middleton  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 Premises, on behalf of all present or  future  Co-
Tenants. Only Fund XVIII may obligate any Co-Tenant with  respect
to any expense for the Premises.

As  further set forth in paragraph 2 hereof, Fund XVIII agrees to
require  any  lessee  of the Premises to  name  Middleton  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  lessee  within  30  days   of
commencement  of this agreement. In any event, Fund  XVIII  shall
distribute any insurance proceeds it

Co-Tenancy Agreement for Tractor Supply - Bristol, VA





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,  expenses and any net proceeds from a sale  of  the
Premises 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 Middleton under  this
Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount of Middleton's  share
of  any legitimate expenses of the Premises which are not paid by
Middleton  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 Middleton'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
Lessee  under  terms of any triple net lease agreement  initiated
concurrently with, or subsequent to, this agreement.

Middleton   has  elected  to  retain,  and  agrees  to   annually
reimburse,  Fund  XVIII in the amount of $595 for  the  expenses,
direct   and  indirect,  incurred  by  Fund  XVIII  in  providing
quarterly  accounting and distributions of Middleton's  share  of
net   income  and  for  tracking,  reporting  and  assessing  the
calculation  of Middleton's share of operating expenses  incurred
from  the  Premises. This invoice amount shall be  pro-rated  for
partial years and Middleton authorizes Fund XVIII to deduct  such
amount from Middleton's share of revenue. Middleton may terminate
this  agreement  at  any time and collect it's  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,  Middleton
shall be entitled to receive 11.6552% of all items of income  and
expense  generated  by  the Premises, and  Fund  XVIII  shall  be
entitled to receive 66.6722% as its share. Upon receipt  of  said
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 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-

Co-Tenancy Agreement for Tractor Supply - Bristol, VA







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.

7.    This  property management 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 in accordance with  the
terms  hereof  and  proper 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;
