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, and Fund XVIII retains  the  sole
right  to deal with, any property agent or tenant and to monitor,
execute  and  enforce  the terms of 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  La Corte. Only Fund XVIII may obligate La Corte  with
respect to any expense for the Premises.

      As  further  set  forth in paragraph 2 hereof,  Fund  XVIII

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  La
Corte  under this Agreement, and may pay to itself the amount  of
La Corte's share of any legitimate expenses of the Premises which
are not paid by La Corte 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  La  Corte'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 Premises.

La  Corte has no requirement to, but has, nonetheless, elected to
retain,  and  agrees to annually reimburse,  Fund  XVIII  in  the
amount of $892 for the expenses, direct and indirect, incurred by
Fund  XVIII  in providing La Corte with quarterly accounting  and
distributions of La Corte's share of net income and for tracking,
reporting  and assessing the calculation of La Corte's  share  of
operating  expenses  incurred from  the  Premises.  This  invoice
amount  shall  be  pro-rated  for  partial  years  and  La  Corte
authorizes Fund XVIII to deduct such amount from La Corte's share
of  revenue  from  the  Premises.  La Corte  may  terminate  this
agreement   in   this   paragraph   respecting   accounting   and
distributions at any time and seek to collect its share of rental
income  directly  from the tenant; however,  enforcement  of  all
other  provisions  of the lease remains the sole  right  of  Fund
XVIII pursuant to Section 1 hereof.

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,  La  Corte
shall be entitled to receive 17.7781% of all items of income  and
expense  generated  by  the  Premises.   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 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.

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
October  31,  2021  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
