Leonid,
I've never had much success in fitting ordered categorical models with more
than a single eta on the baseline of the logit domain i.e., logit(p) = base
+ eff + eta. Also, since the logit model transforms the (0,1) probability
domain to the real number domain (-inf, inf) the values of theta3 through
theta7, could be positive or negative depending on whether the baseline
proportions are < or > p=0.5. Thus, I'm not sure why you want to use an
exp(eta) on the baseline response.
