               (ECH-NORTH LOOP/THEATER DISTRICT PARKING AGREEMENT)



     BACKGROUND

     On August 21, 2000, in connection with the closing of the Contribution
Agreement by and between North Loop-Tremont Partnership, an Illinois
partnership, ("Contributor"), the Partnership, ECH-Chicago Parking Limited
Partnership ("ECH"), and the Constituent partners of Contributor (the
"Constituent Partners"), dated November 6, 1997 and the Settlement Agreement and
Release of Claims by and between the Partnership, ECH, Contributor and the
Constituent Partners, Contributor received 91,406 Class B units of limited
Partnership Interest in the Partnership (the "ECHNLT Units") in exchange for its
limited partnership interest in ECH-North Loop/Theater District Parking Limited
Partnership. In connection with the issuance of the ECHNLT Units, the First
Amendment to the Agreement (the "FIRST AMENDMENT") was executed adding this
Exhibit E-7 to the Agreement, setting forth specific agreements regarding
additional rights and obligations of the Contributor with respect to the ECHNLT
Units. Such specific agreements are set forth below.

     All Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit E-7
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.

     SPECIFIC AGREEMENTS

1.   ADMISSION TO PARTNERSHIP. Contributor is hereby admitted to the Partnership
     as an Additional Limited Partner in accordance with Section 12.2 of the
     Agreement and hereby agrees to become a party to the Agreement and to be
     bound by all of the terms, conditions and other provisions of the
     Agreement, including, but not limited to, the power of attorney set forth
     in Section 15.11 of the Agreement.

2.   RIGHT TO ASSIGN. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit E-7,
     the Agreement or the First Amendment, Contributor shall have the right to
     assign at any time and from time to time all or any portion of its ECHNLT
     Units, together with any and all other rights of Contributor pursuant to
     this Exhibit E-7 or the Agreement, to one or more of the constituent
     partners or shareholders, members, partners or beneficiaries of constituent
     partners of Contributor on the date hereof, whether direct or indirect,
     without the need for the consent of the General Partner or any other
