The tax abatement plan provides for the capping of real property taxes for a period of eight years by legally transferring title to the Gaylord Opryland real property to the Board. The Board financed the acquisition of the Gaylord Opryland real property by issuing a $650 million industrial revenue bond to the Company. The Board then leased this property back to the Company. The Company is obligated to make lease payments equal to the debt service on the industrial revenue bond. No cash was exchanged and no cash will be exchanged in connection with the Company’s lease payments under the lease. The tax abatement period extends through the term of the lease, which coincides with the nine-year maturity of the bond. At any time, the Company has the option to repurchase the real property at a de minimis amount. Due to the form of these transactions, the Company has not recorded the bond or the lease obligation associated with the sale lease-back transaction, and the cost of the Gaylord Opryland real property remains recorded on the balance sheet and is being depreciated over its estimated useful life.

(“Ares”) with respect to an equity investment in the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, Colorado (“Gaylord Rockies”), which is being developed by RIDA and Ares. The hotel will be managed by Marriott pursuant to a long-term management contract and is expected to consist of a 1,500-room pre-function The Company owns a 35% interest in a limited liability company that owns the real property comprising the hotel, which the Company purchased for a capital contribution of approximately $86.5 million, of which the final portion was funded in the first quarter of 2017. The Company also owns a 35% interest in a limited liability company which will lease the hotel from the property owner and assume the Marriott management agreement prior to the opening of the hotel. A subsidiary of the Company is providing designated asset management services on behalf of the hotel during the construction period in exchange for a flat fee and after opening of the hotel in exchange for a fee based on the hotel’s gross revenues on an annual basis. In connection with the agreements, the Company agreed to provide guarantees of the hotel’s construction loan, including a principal repayment guarantee of up to $21 million of the total $500 million principal amount of the construction loan previously obtained from a consortium of eight banks, with such amount reducing to $14 million and further reducing to $8.75 million upon the hotel’s satisfaction of designated debt service coverage requirements following completion and opening of the hotel. The Company has also provided a completion guarantee under the construction loan capped at its pro rata share of all costs necessary to complete the project within the time specified in the joint venture’s loan documents. Further, the Company has agreed to a guarantee capped at its pro rata share of the joint venture’s obligations under the construction loan prior to the hotel’s opening related to interest accruing under the construction loan and the operating expenses of the property (estimated pro rata share of interest prior to the hotel opening is $9.8 million). In addition to guarantees related to the construction loan, the Company agreed to provide a guarantee of the mezzanine debt related to the hotel including a payment guarantee capped at $8.75 million for which the Company is only liable in the event there is a casualty or condemnation event at the hotel and the construction lenders elect to apply those proceeds to the construction loan balance and release the construction loan guarantees and liens. The guarantee related to the mezzanine debt also includes an uncapped completion guarantee and an uncapped guarantee of the joint venture’s obligations under the mezzanine loan prior to the hotel’s opening related to interest accruing under the mezzanine loan and the operating expenses of the property to the extent not already satisfied by the parties under the guarantees related to the construction loan. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had not recorded any liability in the consolidated balance sheet associated with these guarantees.

At September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants related to its outstanding debt. On May 11, 2017, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as a guarantor, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, certain other subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as guarantors, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as pledgors, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, which amends and restates the Company’s existing credit facility. In addition, on May 23, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Amended Credit Agreement among the same parties. As amended, the Company’s credit facility consists of a $700.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), a new $200.0 million senior secured term loan A (the “Term Loan A”), and an increased $500.0 million senior secured term loan B (the “Term Loan B”), each as discussed below. Each of the Revolver, Term Loan A and Term Loan B is guaranteed by the Company, each of the four wholly-owned subsidiaries that own the Gaylord Hotels properties, and certain other of the Company’s subsidiaries. Each is secured by (i) a first mortgage lien on the real property of each of the Gaylord Hotels properties, (ii) pledges of equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries that own the Gaylord Hotels properties, (iii) the personal property of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries that guarantee the Amended Credit Agreement and (iv) all proceeds and products from the Company’s Gaylord Hotels properties. Advances are subject to a 55% borrowing base, based on the appraisal value of the Gaylord Hotels properties (reduced to 50% in the event one of the Gaylord Hotel properties is sold). In addition, each of the Revolver, Term Loan A and Term Loan B contains certain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, investments, dividends, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, acquisitions, mergers and consolidations, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. If an event of default shall occur and be continuing under the Amended Credit Agreement, the commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable. $700 Million Revolving Credit Facility Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company extended the maturity of the Revolver to May 23, 2021. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.55% to 2.40%, dependent upon the Company’s funded debt to total asset value ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) or (ii) a base rate as set in the Amended Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2017, the interest rate on the Revolver is LIBOR plus 1.55%. No additional amounts were borrowed under the Revolver at closing. $200 Million Term Loan A The Amendment also provides for the Term Loan A, which has a maturity date of May 23, 2022. Borrowings under the Term Loan A bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.35%, dependent upon the Company’s funded debt to total asset value ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) or (ii) a base rate as set in the Amended Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2017, the interest rate on the Term Loan A was LIBOR plus 1.50%. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan A that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. At closing, the Company drew down on the Term Loan A in full and proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the Revolver. $500 Million Term Loan B Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company increased its original $400 million term loan B facility to a $500 million term loan B facility and extended the maturity to May 11, 2024. Borrowings under the Term Loan B bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus 2.25% or (ii) a base rate as set in the Amended Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2017, the interest rate on the Term Loan B was LIBOR plus 2.25%. The Term Loan B amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of $500.0 million, with the balance due at maturity. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan B that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. At closing, the Company drew down on the Term Loan B in full. Net proceeds, after the repayment of the original $400 million term loan B and certain transaction expenses payable at closing, were approximately $114.3 million and were used to pay down a portion of the Revolver.
