The 8560&nbsp;Upland Drive property is 100% leased to Quantum through December 31, 2011. The Amendment reduces Quantum's square footage from 100% of the building to approximately 57% of the building, effective January 1, 2012, and extends the lease term on the reduced square footage to December 31, 2021. The Registrant owns an equity interest of approximately 28% in the Joint Venture, which owns 100% of 8560 Upland Drive.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&nbsp;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Effective January 1, 2012, annual base rent of $8.25 per square foot shall be payable and is scheduled to increase by 2% annually beginning on January 1, 2013. In addition to monthly base rent, Quantum will be required to reimburse the Registrant for its pro rata share of all operating expenses and real estate taxes for 8560 Upland Drive.  Quantum is entitled to a landlord-funded tenant allowance of approximately $534,000, of which up to $50,000 may be applied against base rental payments.  Quantum has the right to extend the lease term for two additional five-year periods at the then current fair market rental rate.  </font></div><div

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 11, 2011, Wells Fund XIII-REIT Joint Venture Partnership (the "Joint Venture"), a joint venture partnership between Wells Real Estate Fund XIII, L.P. (the "Registrant") and Piedmont Operating Partnership, LP, and Quantum Corporation ("Quantum"), an unrelated third party, entered into the first amendment to the lease agreement (the "Amendment") at 8560 Upland Drive, two one-story office buildings containing approximately 148,000 rentable square feet located in Englewood, Colorado. The 8560 Upland Drive property is 100% leased to Quantum through December 31, 2011. The Amendment reduces Quantum's square footage from 100% of the building to approximately 57% of the building, effective January 1, 2012, and extends the lease term on the reduced square footage to December 31, 2021. The Registrant owns an equity interest of approximately 28% in the Joint Venture, which owns 100% of 8560 Upland Drive.
Effective January 1, 2012, annual base rent of $8.25 per square foot shall be payable and is scheduled to increase by 2% annually beginning on January 1, 2013. In addition to monthly base rent, Quantum will be required to reimburse the Registrant for its pro rata share of all operating expenses and real estate taxes for 8560 Upland Drive.  Quantum is entitled to a landlord-funded tenant allowance of approximately $534,000, of which up to $50,000 may be applied against base rental payments.  Quantum has the right to extend the lease term for two additional five-year periods at the then current fair market rental rate.
