1999 between EQK REALTY INVESTORS I (the "Trust") and LEND LEASE PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT, INC. (the "Adviser").

                  The Trust and the Adviser are currently parties to an advisory

Agreement. Accordingly, the Trust and Adviser hereby agree as follows:

                  1.       The Advisory Agreement is terminated as of the date
                           hereof.

                  2.       Neither the Trust nor the Adviser waives any claims
                           arising under the Advisory Agreement.

                  3.       The Adviser agrees to provide reasonable assistance
                           to the Trust and the entity that will act as
                           successor adviser upon the reasonable request of the
                           Trust or such successor without additional
                           consideration (other than reimbursement of any
                           reasonably documented out-of-pocket expenses).

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed and
delivered this Termination of Advisory Agreement as of the date set forth above.
