C.    Further, in order to obtain an amendment and extension of the Collateral Agency Agreement, (i) David Price shall pledge 354,938 shares of common stock of National Golf Properties, Inc. (“NGP”) and 1,107,620 common limited partnership units of National Golf Operating Partnership, L.P.

D.    In return for the aforementioned credit support, Lender has required, among other things, that David Price secure the full amount of such credit support with a pledge


 
of 2,148,074 common limited partnership units of NGOP, pursuant to a proposed Partnership Interest Pledge Agreement in favor of Lender (the “David Price/Lender Pledge Agreement”).
 
D.    Additionally, Lender has required that the DPP Trust secure such credit support with a pledge of 594,930 common limited partnership units of NGOP pursuant to a proposed Partnership Interest Pledge Agreement in favor of Lender (the “Dallas Price/Lender Pledge Agreement” and together with the David Price/Lender Pledge Agreement and the BNY Pledge Agreements, the “Pledge Agreements”).
 
E.    Pursuant to Section 4 of the Shared Liability Agreement, Dallas Price agreed that, if in connection with the provision of the Required Alternate Collateral, David Price pledges David Price’s interest in NGOP or National Golf Properties, Inc. (“NGP” and collectively with NGOP, the “Companies”), Dallas Price would provide 50% of the amount of such interests, in kind, to be made subject to such pledge, or the cash equivalent thereof.
