Attn: Mr. David Kloeppel
Chief Financial Officer
Re: Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2003, amended by
First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Ratification of
Guarantee dated as of December 17, 2003 (as so amended, the
"CREDIT AGREEMENT") by and among Opryland Hotel-Florida
Limited Partnership, as Borrower, Gaylord Entertainment
Company, as Parent Guarantor, the Lenders party thereto and
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as Administrative Agent
for itself and such Lenders; Capitalized terms not separately
defined in this letter shall have the definitions ascribed
thereto in the Credit Agreement.
Dear Mr. Kloeppel:
Gaylord Entertainment Company ("GET") has advised Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas ("DBTCA"), as Administrative Agent under the Credit
Agreement, that GET desires to (a) issue $225 million principal amount of senior
unsecured notes (the "NEW NOTES") substantially as summarized in the attached
Summary (the "SUMMARY") provided to DBTCA by GET and (b) use the net proceeds of
the New Notes to repay in full the Nashville Senior Loan and for general
corporate purposes, subject to all applicable terms and provisions of the Credit
Agreement. GET has requested that DBTCA and the Majority Lenders consent to the
issuance of the New Notes and to such application of the proceeds thereof.
This letter is to confirm that the Administrative Agent and
the Majority Lenders consent to the issuance of the New Notes, substantially as
described in the Summary, insofar as the same would otherwise constitute
Indebtedness prohibited by Section 6.14 of the Credit Agreement, provided that
(i) the New Notes are issued on or before December
31, 2004;
(ii) the proceeds of the New Notes are applied to
repayment in full of the Nashville Senior Loan within 60 days after receipt of
such proceeds by GET;
(iii) pending such repayment of the Nashville Senior
Loan, a portion of the cash proceeds of the New Notes sufficient to pay the
Nashville Senior Loan in full shall be
Gaylord Entertainment Company
November 16, 2004
held by GET in a segregated account or accounts for the sole purpose of paying
the Nashville Senior Loan in full (it being understand that the cash so held
shall be deemed to be "Unrestricted Cash On Hand" for purposes of the
computations required by Section 6.25 of the Credit Agreement);
(iv) within 30 days after repayment of the Nashville
Senior Indebtedness, OHN shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
instruments of Adherence with respect to the Guaranty and the Environmental
Indemnity Agreement (substantially in the form of Exhibit H to the Credit
Agreement, properly completed), together with such Organizational Documents,
certifications, consents, resolutions and legal opinions with respect to
authorization, enforceability and related matters as Administrative Agent may
request;
(v) any remaining balance of such proceeds shall be
used by GET for general corporate purposes, subject to all applicable terms and
provisions of the Credit Agreement; and
(vi) GET shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
copies of all offering materials and other material documents evidencing its
issuance of the New Notes and the terms thereof as soon as such materials and
documents have been prepared.
Nothing in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed a waiver of
any of the terms or provisions of Section 6.25 of the Credit Agreement or any
other terms or provisions of the Credit Agreement (or of any other Loan
Document) not expressly described in the preceding paragraph.
This letter agreement shall not be effective unless and until
it is executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent and the Majority
Lenders and by Borrower, Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors,
whereupon this letter agreement shall be effective as of the date first written
above.

Summary of Notes Offering
Gaylord Entertainment Company is planning to issue its unsecured senior notes in
the principal amount of $225,000,000, maturing 2014 issued, under Rule 144A (the
"Notes"). The Notes will be guaranteed by substantially all of the Parent
Guarantor's subsidiaries. The terms of the Notes (other than maturity and rate)
will be substantially similar to the existing $350,000,000 of 8% senior notes
issued by the Parent Guarantor in 2003 (defined as the "Senior Notes" in the
Credit Agreement). The proceeds of the Notes will be used to repay in full the
Nashville Senior Loan (which has an outstanding balance of approximately
$193,000,000), and for general corporate purposes. Because of a notice period
and required payment date, the Nashville Senior Loan will not be repaid for up
to 60 days following issuance of the Notes.
