     This prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference) contains, and any accompanying prospectus supplement may contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. Forward-looking statements include discussions regarding the Company’s operating strategy, strategic plan, hotel development strategy, industry and economic conditions, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources, and results of operations. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “will,” and similar expressions. Although we believe that the plans, objectives, expectations and prospects reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, those statements involve uncertainties and risks, and we cannot assure you that our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects will be achieved. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated by the forward-looking statements as a result of many known and unknown factors, including, but not limited to, those contained in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

(1)   Preopening costs are related to the Gaylord Texan and Gaylord National, as well as the rooms renovation program at Gaylord Opryland. Gaylord Texan opened in April 2004, Gaylord National opened in April 2008, and the Opryland rooms renovation program was completed in February 2008.
 
(2)   In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, we have presented the operating results and financial position of the following businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented: ResortQuest; WSM-FM and WWTN(FM); Word Entertainment; Acuff-Rose Music Publishing; GET Management, our artist management business; Oklahoma RedHawks; our international cable networks; the businesses sold to affiliates of The Oklahoma Publishing Company consisting of Pandora Films, Gaylord Films, Gaylord Sports Management, Gaylord Event Television and Gaylord Production Company; and our water taxis.
 
(3)   As described more fully in “Operating Results — Impairment and other charges” under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, in the second quarter of 2008, we recorded an impairment charge of $12.0 million related to the termination of our agreement to purchase the Westin La Cantera Resort, located in San Antonio, Texas. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.7 million related to our decision to terminate our plans to develop a resort and convention hotel in Chula Vista, California. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we incurred a $2.5 million impairment charge to write off our investment in Waipouli Holdings, LLC.
 
(4)   Related primarily to employee severance and contract termination costs.
 
(5)   On May 31, 2007, we completed the sale of all of our ownership interest in Bass Pro Group, LLC to Bass Pro Group, LLC for a purchase price of $222.0 million in cash and recognized a pre-tax gain of $140.3 million on the sale.
 
(6)   During December 2008, we repurchased $45.8 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding senior notes ($28.5 million of 8.00% senior notes and $17.3 million of 6.75% senior notes) for $25.6 million. After adjusting for accrued interest and deferred financing costs, we recorded a pretax gain of $19.9 million as a result of the repurchase.
 
(7)   In 1999 we recognized a pretax gain of $459.3 million as a result of the divestiture of television station KTVT in Dallas-Ft. Worth in exchange for CBS Series B preferred stock, which was later converted into 11,003,000 shares of Viacom Class B common stock, $4.2 million of cash and other consideration. During 2000, we entered into a seven-year secured forward exchange contract (“SFEC”) for a notional amount of $613.1 million with respect to 10,937,900 shares of the Viacom Class B common stock. We exchanged the 10,937,900 shares of Viacom Class B common stock for 5,468,950 shares of Viacom Stock and 5,468,950 shares of CBS Stock effective January 3, 2006. During May 2007, the SFEC matured and we delivered all of the Viacom Stock and CBS Stock to Credit Suisse in full satisfaction of the $613.1 million debt obligation under the SFEC. As a result, the debt obligation, Viacom Stock, CBS Stock, put option, call option, and deferred financing costs related to the SFEC were removed from the consolidated balance sheet during the second quarter of 2007. The CBS Stock and Viacom Stock were included in total assets at their market values of $400.4 million, $356.6 million, and $394.9 million at December 31, 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively. Prepaid interest related to the secured forward exchange contract of $64.3 million, $37.3 million, and $10.5 million, was included in total assets at December 31, 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively.
 
(8)   Related primarily to the construction of the Gaylord Palms, the Gaylord Texan and the Gaylord National.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND RATIO OF EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES
AND PREFERRED DIVIDENDS
   The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each period indicated is set forth in the following table:
                                         
    Year Ended December 31,
    2004   2005   2006   2007   2008
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges
                1.01x       2.31x        
     The ratio of earnings to fixed charges above is computed by dividing (a) the sum of income from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges, plus amortization of capitalized interest, less interest capitalized, by (b) fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including capitalized interest, amortization of debt issuance costs and a portion of operating lease rental expense deemed to be representative of the interest factor. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005, and 2008, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges. The amount of earnings needed to cover fixed charges were $96.4 million, $41.5 million and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2008, respectively.
     For the periods indicated above, we had no outstanding shares of preferred stock with required dividend payments. Therefore, the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends are identical to the ratios presented in the table above.
USE OF PROCEEDS
     Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement to this prospectus used to offer specific securities, we expect to use the net proceeds from any offering of securities by us for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions, future development opportunities for new hotel properties, potential expansions or ongoing maintenance of our existing hotel properties, investments, the repayment or refinancing of all or a portion of any indebtedness outstanding at a particular time, and repurchases of outstanding notes. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we expect to invest the proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other investment-grade securities.

  whether and under what circumstances we will pay additional amounts to any holder of debt securities who is not a United States person or entity in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether we will have the option to redeem such debt securities rather than pay such additional amounts (and the terms of any such option);

     In addition, the indenture does not limit our ability to issue convertible or subordinated debt securities. Any conversion or subordination provisions of a particular series of debt securities will be set forth in the supplemental indenture, board resolution or officer’s certificate related to that series of debt securities and will be described in the relevant prospectus supplement. Such terms may include provisions for conversion, either mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option, in which case the number of shares of common stock or other securities to be received by the holders of debt securities would be calculated as of a time and in the manner stated in the prospectus supplement.
     We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.
     If we denominate the purchase price of any of the debt securities in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, or if the principal of and any premium and interest on any series of debt securities is payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, we will provide you with information on the restrictions, elections, general tax considerations, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of debt securities and such foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Transfer and Exchange
     Each debt security will be represented by either (a) one or more global securities registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary (the “Depositary”), or a nominee (we will refer to any debt security represented by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or (b) a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading “Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.
     Certificated Debt Securities. You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange.
     You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.
     Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System. Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary.
     The Depositary has indicated it intends to follow the following procedures with respect to book-entry debt securities.
     Ownership of beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities will be limited to persons that have accounts with the Depositary for the related global debt security (“participants”) or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a global debt security, the Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal amounts of the book-entry debt securities represented by such global debt security beneficially owned by such participants. The accounts to be credited will be designated by any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the book-entry debt securities. Ownership of book-entry debt securities will be shown on, and

10


Table of Contents

the transfer of such ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary for the related global debt security (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons holding through participants). The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities.
     So long as the Depositary for a global debt security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of that global debt security, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the book-entry debt securities represented by such global debt security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as described below, beneficial owners of book-entry debt securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of a certificate in definitive form representing securities and will not be considered the owners or holders of those securities under the indenture. Accordingly, each person beneficially owning book-entry debt securities must rely on the procedures of the Depositary for the related global debt security and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture.
     We understand that under existing industry practice, the Depositary will authorize the persons on whose behalf it holds a global debt security to exercise certain rights of holders of debt securities, and the indenture provides that we, the trustee and our respective agents will treat as the holder of a debt security the persons specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to that global debt security for purposes of obtaining any consents or directions required to be given by holders of the debt securities pursuant to the indenture.
     We will make payments of principal of, and premium and interest on book-entry debt securities to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of the related global debt security. We, the trustee and any other agent of ours or agent of the trustee will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global debt security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests.
     We expect that the Depositary, upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium or interest on a global debt security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective amounts of book-entry debt securities held by each participant as shown on the records of such Depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities held through those participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.
     We will issue certificated debt securities in exchange for each global debt security if the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have the book-entry debt securities of any series represented by one or more global debt securities and, in that event, will issue certificated debt securities in exchange for the global debt securities of that series. Global debt securities will also be exchangeable by the holders for certificated debt securities if an Event of Default with respect to the book-entry debt securities represented by those global debt securities has occurred and is continuing. Any certificated debt securities issued in exchange for a global debt security will be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the trustee. We expect that such instructions will be based upon directions received by the Depositary from participants with respect to ownership of book-entry debt securities relating to such global debt security.
     We have obtained the foregoing information concerning the Depositary and the Depositary’s book-entry system from sources we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.
No Protection In the Event of a Change of Control
     Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.
Covenants
     We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities.

11


Table of Contents

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets
     Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, we may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, any person (a “successor person”) unless:
  we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than us) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture;
  immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing under the indenture; and
  certain other conditions are met.
Events of Default
     Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, an “Event of Default” means any of the following with respect to a series of debt securities:
  default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable for 30 days;
  default in the payment of principal of or premium on any debt security of that series when due and payable;
  failure to observe or perform any other covenant, representation, warranty or other agreement applicable to a series and such failure or nonperformance continues for 60 consecutive days following notice thereof;
  certain defaults under certain of our and our subsidiaries’ mortgages, indentures or instruments under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any debt for money borrowed;
  certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of ours; and
  any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus.
     No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of an Event of Default may constitute an event of default under our bank credit agreements in existence from time to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.
     Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, if an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
     The indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of outstanding debt securities, unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series.

12


Table of Contents

     No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:
  that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and
  the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made a written request, and offered a reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.
     The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.
Modification and Waiver
     Unless otherwise provided by the terms of an applicable series of debt securities, we may modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:
  change the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
  reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;
  reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of debt securities;
  reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;
  waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
  make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;
  make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or
  waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security or change any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of any debt securities.
     Except for compliance with the provisions specified above, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

Table of Contents

     Additionally, we may modify or amend the indenture without the consent of any holders of the affected series of debt securities then outstanding if that amendment will:
  evidence the succession of another person or entity to the Company or a guarantor, and the assumption by any such successor of our or the guarantor’s covenants contained in the indenture, any debt security guarantee or the debt securities (provided that such succession is otherwise in compliance with the indenture and applicable law);
  add covenants for the benefit of the holders of any series of debt securities or to surrender any right or power conferred in the indenture upon us or any guarantor;
  add any additional events of default for the benefit of the holders of any series of debt securities;
  permit or facilitate the issuance of debt securities in uncertificated form, provided that any such action will not adversely affect the interest of the holders of any series of debt securities in any material respect;
  add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture or any guarantee in respect of any series of debt securities, provided that any such addition, change or elimination will (i) neither (A) apply to any debt security created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision, nor (B) modify the rights of the holder of any such debt security with respect to such provision; or (ii) become effective only when there is no debt security outstanding;
  secure the debt securities;
  establish the form or terms of debt securities as permitted by the indenture, including the provisions and procedures relating to debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for our other securities or property;
  provide for the acceptance of appointment under the indenture by a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities and to add or change any of the provisions of the indenture or any guarantee as is reasonable and necessary solely to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the indenture by more than one trustee; provided that such succession is otherwise in compliance with the indenture and applicable law;
  cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
  provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities or to alter the terms of the debt securities set forth in the indenture in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any holder of debt securities;
  provide for the assumption of our obligations to the holders of the debt securities by a successor to the Company pursuant to the indenture;
  make any change that would provide additional rights or benefits, or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder, of the holders of each series of debt securities; or
  comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances
     Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of such series, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of such series, and to maintain paying agencies and certain provisions relating to the treatment of funds held by paying agents). We will be so discharged upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of cash and/or non-callable Government Securities in such amounts as will be sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay and

14


Table of Contents

discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.
     This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.
     Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:
  we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and
  any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series (“covenant defeasance”)
The conditions include:
  depositing with the trustee cash and/or non-callable Government Securities in such amounts as will be sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and
  delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred.
Covenant Defeasance and Events of Default. In the event we exercise our option to effect covenant defeasance with respect to any series of debt securities and the debt securities of that series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the amount of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from the Event of Default. However, we shall remain liable for those payments.
“Government Securities” means, securities issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured by the United States government or any agency or instrumentality of the United States government (provided that the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged in support of those securities), and additionally, in respect of any Series of Securities denominated in other than United States dollars, securities issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured by the government in whose currencies such Series of Securities are denominated (which in the case of the Euro shall be deemed to include any government whose functional currency is the Euro).
Governing Law
     The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.
DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEES
     Our wholly-owned subsidiaries listed as co-registrants on our registration statement may in whole or in part enter into guarantees of our obligations under the debt securities on terms which will be described in any applicable prospectus supplement.
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
     We summarize below some of the provisions that will apply to our common stock unless the applicable prospectus supplement provides otherwise. This summary may not contain all information that is important to you. The complete terms of

15


Table of Contents

the common stock will be contained in the prospectus supplement. You should read the prospectus supplement, which will contain additional information and which may update or change some of the information below.
General
     Our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that we have authority to issue up to 150.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of April 30, 2009, there were 40,953,730 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, with associated preferred stock purchase rights under a shareholder rights plan described below. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote. There are no cumulative voting rights and holders of common stock do not hold preemptive rights. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. Upon dissolution, holders of common stock are entitled to share pro rata in our assets remaining after payment in full of all our liabilities and obligations, including the payment of liquidation preference, if any, on any preferred stock then outstanding.
     Our common stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GET.”
Impact of Preferred Stock Issuances on Common Stock
     Our board of directors, without further action by the stockholders, is authorized to issue up to 100.0 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to designate as to any such series the dividend rate, redemption prices, preferences on liquidation or dissolution, conversion rights, voting rights, and any other preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions. The rights of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be affected adversely by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of a new series of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions or other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. See "—Shareholder Rights Plan” and “Description of Preferred Stock—Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock” below for a discussion of our shareholder rights plan and the related preferred stock purchase rights associated with our common stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
     We have appointed Computershare Investor Services, LLC as the Transfer Agent and Registrar for our common stock.
Redemption Provision
     Because of our ownership of a radio station, applicable law requires that the total percentage of shares of our capital stock owned of record or voted by non-United States persons or entities shall not exceed 25% and contains certain other restrictions on stock ownership. Under Article IV(D) of the certificate of incorporation, we have the right to prohibit the ownership or voting, or to redeem outstanding shares, of our capital stock if the board of directors determines that such prohibition or redemption is necessary to prevent the loss or secure the reinstatement of any governmental license or franchise held by us or to otherwise comply with the Communications Act of 1934 or any other similar legislation affecting us.
Certain Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions
General
     Certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by our board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions described below, which may involve an actual or threatened change of control. The provisions are designed to reduce the vulnerability of the Company to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not contemplate the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares or an unsolicited coercive or abusive proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or part of the Company. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain coercive or abusive tactics that may be used in proxy fights.
Special Meetings of Stockholders; Action by Written Consent
     The certificate of incorporation provides that no action may be taken by stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and prohibits action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The certificate of incorporation also provides that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Chairman or by a majority of the members of our board of directors. These provisions make it more difficult for stockholders to take action opposed by our board of directors.

16


Table of Contents

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
     The bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for the nomination, other than by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee thereof, of candidates for election as directors as well as for other stockholder proposals to be considered at stockholders’ annual meetings. These limitations on stockholder proposals do not restrict a stockholder’s right to include proposals in our annual meeting proxy materials pursuant to rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. The purpose of requiring advance notice is to afford our board of directors an opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees or the merits of other stockholder proposals and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by our board of directors, to inform stockholders about those matters.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws Amendments
     The certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of our capital stock in order to amend certain of its provisions, including any provisions concerning (a) the election and removal of directors, (b) the amendment of the bylaws, (c) any proposed compromise or arrangement between us and our creditors, (d) the withholding of the rights of stockholders to act by written consent or to call a special meeting, (e) the limitations of liability of directors and indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents and (f) the percentage of votes represented by capital stock required to approve certain amendments to the certificate of incorporation. These voting requirements will make it more difficult for stockholders to make changes in the certificate of incorporation that would be designed to facilitate the exercise of control over the Company. In addition, the requirement of approval by at least a 66 2/3% stockholder vote will enable the holders of a minority of the voting securities of the Company to prevent the holders of a majority or more of such securities from amending such provisions.
     In addition, the certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders may only amend the bylaws by the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock.
Shareholder Rights Plan
     On August 12, 2008, our board of directors adopted a shareholder rights plan, which was amended and restated on March 9, 2009. The shareholder rights plan is designed to protect against any potential future use of coercive or abusive takeover techniques designed to gain control of the Company without full and fair value being paid to all of the company’s stockholders. In connection with the adoption of the shareholder rights plan, our board of directors declared a dividend of one right for each share of the Company’s common stock held by stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 25, 2008. These rights will generally be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 22% or more of our common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer for 22% or more of our common stock. If a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 22% or more of our common stock, each right will generally entitle stockholders other than the acquiring person or group to acquire, for an exercise price of $95.00 per right (subject to adjustment as provided in the plan), shares of our common stock (or, in certain circumstances, shares of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, as described below in “Description of Preferred Stock — Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock”) having a market value equal to twice the right’s then-current exercise price. In addition, if, after a person acquires such ownership, the Company engages in a merger in which it is not the surviving entity or its common stock is changed or exchanged, or sells or transfers more than 50 percent of its assets or earning power, each right will generally entitle the stockholder, other than the acquiring person or group, to acquire, for the exercise price of $95.00 per right (subject to adjustment as provided in the plan), shares of the acquiring the Company’s common stock having a market value equal to twice the right’s then-current exercise price.
     Our board of directors may redeem the rights at a price of $0.001 per right at any time up to ten days after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 22% or more of our common stock. Additionally, the shareholder rights plan provides that, in the event that the Company receives a “Qualified Offer” (as defined below), our board of directors may, but is not obligated to, call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of voting on a resolution to accept the Qualified Offer and to authorize the redemption of the outstanding rights issued pursuant to the provisions of the rights plan. Such an action by stockholders would require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the record date for the special meeting (excluding for purposes of this calculation shares of the Company’s common stock owned by the person making the Qualified Offer). If either (i) such a special meeting is not held within 105 business days following commencement of the Qualified Offer or (ii) at such a special meeting the Company’s stockholders approve such action as set forth above, the rights plan provides that all of the outstanding rights will be redeemed.
     Under the shareholder rights plan, a “Qualified Offer” is a tender or exchange offer for all of the Company’s outstanding common stock in which the same consideration per share is offered for all shares of common stock that (i) is fully financed, (ii) has an offer price per share exceeding the greater of: (x) an amount that is 25% higher than the 12-month moving average closing price of the Company’s common stock, and (y) an amount that is 25% higher than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately preceding commencement of the offer, (iii) generally remains open until at least the earlier of (x) 106 business days following the commencement of the offer, or (y) the business day immediately following the date on which the results of the vote adopting any

redemption resolution at any special meeting of stockholders (as described below) is certified, (iv) is conditioned on the offeror being tendered at least 51% of our common stock not held by the offeror, (v) assures a prompt second-step acquisition of shares not purchased in the initial offer at the same consideration as the initial offer, (vi) is only subject to customary closing conditions, and (vii) meets certain other requirements set forth in the shareholder rights plan.
     The shareholder rights plan will continue in effect until August 12, 2011, unless earlier redeemed or amended by our board of directors to the extend permitted by the shareholder rights plan or redeemed in connection with a Qualified Offer pursuant to the terms of the shareholder rights plan.
     The shareholder rights plan is more fully described in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on August 13, 2008 and March 10, 2009 that are incorporated by reference herein.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law
     We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which regulates corporate acquisitions. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
  the board of directors approved the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder prior to the date the interested stockholder attained such status;
  upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
  the business combination is approved by a majority of the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
     Pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement dated March 9, 2009, entered into between the Company and TRT Holdings, Inc. (“TRT”), our board of directors adopted a resolution approving, for purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the acquisition by TRT and its affiliates of additional shares of the Company’s common stock in excess of 15% of the outstanding stock of the Company and providing that TRT and its affiliates would not be an “interested stockholder” as defined by Section 203.

Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
     In connection with the adoption of the Company’s shareholder rights plan as described in “Description of Common Stock — Shareholder Rights Plan,” on August 12, 2008, the Company designated 10.0 million shares of preferred stock as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. Each right under the shareholder rights plan will, once exercisable under certain circumstances, allow its holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. Each one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, if issued:
  will not be redeemable;
  will entitle holders to quarterly dividend payments of $.01 per one one-hundredth of a share, or an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of common stock, whichever is greater;
  will entitle holders upon liquidation either to receive $1 per one one-hundredth of a share or an amount equal to the payment made on one share of common stock, whichever is greater;
  will have the same voting power as one share of common stock; and
  if shares of the Company’s common stock are exchanged via merger, consolidation, or a similar transaction, will entitle holders to a per share payment equal to the payment made on one share of common stock.
     The value of one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock will generally approximate the value of one share of common stock.

General
     We may issue warrants to purchase debt securities or shares of common or preferred stock independently or together with other securities. The warrants may be attached to or separate from the other securities. We may issue warrants in one or more series. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. The warrant agent will be our agent and will not assume any obligations to any holder or beneficial owner of the warrants.
     The prospectus supplement and the warrant agreement relating to any series of warrants will include specific terms of the warrants. These terms include the following:
  the title and aggregate number of warrants;
  the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;
  the amount of debt securities or common or preferred stock for which the warrant can be exercised and the price or the manner of determining the price or other consideration to purchase the debt securities or common or preferred stock;

Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, until a warrant is exercised, a holder will not be entitled to any payments on or have any rights with respect to the debt securities or common or preferred stock acquirable upon exercise of such warrant.
Exercise of Warrants
To exercise the warrants, the holder must provide the warrant agent with the following:

Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, no fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of warrants, but we will pay the cash value of any fractional shares otherwise issuable.
     The exercise price and the amount of debt securities or common or preferred stock for which each warrant can be exercised will be adjusted upon the occurrence of events described in the warrant agreement, including the issuance of a dividend or a combination, subdivision or reclassification of capital stock. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, no adjustment will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1%.

The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the subscription rights of such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of subscription rights certificates or beneficial owners of subscription rights. These subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may be attached to or separate from such security. These subscription rights may or may not be transferable by the person receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby underwriting, backstop, or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which the underwriters or other persons may be required to purchase all or a portion of any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.
     Certain other terms of any subscription rights will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of any subscription rights described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described in this prospectus, then those particular terms described in this prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement.

The applicable prospectus supplement will specify how the exercise price of any subscription right is to be paid. Upon receipt of payment of the exercise price and, if required, the certificate representing the subscription rights being exercised properly completed and duly executed at the office or agency designated for that purpose, we will promptly deliver the securities to be delivered upon such exercise. If less than all of the subscription rights represented by such subscription certificate are exercised, a new subscription certificate will be issued for the remaining subscription rights. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the subscription rights may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for subscription rights. We may determine to offer any unsubscribed offered securities directly to stockholders, persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting, backstop or other arrangements, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
No Rights as Holders of Shares or Debt Securities

Holders of subscription rights to purchase debt securities will not be entitled, by virtue of being such holders, to receive principal, premium, if any, or interest payments, on the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture.

The securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The consideration may be cash or another form negotiated by the parties. Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for offering and selling the securities. That compensation may be in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions to be received from us or from the purchasers of the securities. We will identify the specific plan, including any underwriters, dealers, agents or direct purchasers and their compensation, in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents

participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them from us or from purchasers of the securities and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

Any such agent may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities so offered and sold.
     If an underwriter or underwriters are utilized in the sale of securities, we will execute an underwriting agreement with such underwriter or underwriters at the time an agreement for such sale is reached, and the names of the specific managing underwriter or underwriters, as well as any other underwriters, and the terms of the transactions, including compensation of the underwriters and dealers, if any, will be set forth in the prospectus supplement, which will be used by the underwriters to resell the securities.
     If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities, we will sell such securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale. The name of the dealer and the terms of the transactions will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.
     Offers to purchase the securities may be solicited directly by us and sales thereof may be made by us directly to institutional investors or others. The terms of any such sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction prices, if utilized, will be described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.

(the “Delaware Corporate Registrants”) and CCK Holdings, LLC, Gaylord Destin Resorts, LLC, Gaylord Mesa, LLC, Gaylord Mesa Convention Center, LLC, Grand Ole Opry, LLC, OLH Holdings, LLC, Opryland Attractions, LLC, Opryland Hotel Nashville, LLC and Opryland Hotel-Texas, LLC (the “Delaware LLC Registrants”) and Opryland Hotel-Texas Limited Partnership (the “Delaware LP Registrant”).
          Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. A corporation may indemnify against expenses, (including attorneys’ fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or the court in which such action or suit was brought, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. Section 145 provides that, to the extent a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or manner therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, empowers a Delaware limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, or the LP Act, empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.
          Pursuant to authority conferred by Delaware law, the Delaware Corporate Registrants’ certificates of incorporation, the Delaware LLC Registrants’ certificates of formation and the Delaware Limited Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, contain provisions providing that no director, manager or limited partner, as the case may be, shall be liable to it or its stockholders, members or partners, as the case may be, for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, member or partner, as the case may be, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under Delaware law as then in effect or as it may be amended, or, generally in the case of the Delaware LLC Registrants, except to the extent that such breach is due to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, action without a reasonable basis to believe that such person was authorized by the company, or any transaction from which such person derived an improper personal benefit. This provision is intended to eliminate the risk that a director, member or

II-1

          The Delaware Corporate Registrants’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws, the Delaware LLC Registrants’ certificates of formation and limited liability company agreements and the Delaware LP Registrant’s limited partnership agreement contain provisions requiring Gaylord to indemnify and, in the case of most of the Delaware LLC Registrants, advance expenses to its directors, members or limited partners, as the case may be, and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, except, generally in the case of the Delaware LLC Registrants, to the extent that such breach is due to fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, action without a reasonable basis to believe that such person was authorized by the company, or any transaction from which such person derived an improper personal benefit. Among other things, these provisions generally provide indemnification for each registrant’s officers and directors, members, and limited partners, as the case may be, against liabilities for judgments in and settlements of lawsuits and other proceedings and for the advance and payment of fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the director, member, partner or officer in defense of any such lawsuit or proceeding if the director, member, partner or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and in certain cases only if the director, member, limited partner or officer is not adjudged to be liable to the company.
          The Delaware Corporate Registrants, the Delaware LLC Registrants and the Delaware LP Registrant maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was its director, member, limited partner or officer, or is now or was serving at the request of the applicable registrant as a director, member, limited partner, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not any registrant would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the bylaws, limited liability company agreement or limited partnership agreement.

          Opryland Hotel-Florida maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is or was its director, member, partner or officer, or is now or was serving at the request of the company as a director, member, partner, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the limited partnership agreement.

          The Tennessee Business Corporation Act (“TBCA”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any of its directors and officers against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding if: (a) such person acted in good faith; (b) in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, he reasonably believed such conduct was in the corporation’s best interests; (c) in all other cases, he reasonably believed that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (d) in connection with any criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however, the TBCA provides that no indemnification may be made if the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the corporation. The TBCA also provides that in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to an officer or director, no indemnification may be made if such officer or director is adjudged liable on the basis that such personal benefit was improperly received. In cases where the director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding instigated because of his or her status as a director or officer of a corporation, the TBCA mandates that the corporation indemnify the director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding. The TBCA provides that a court of competent jurisdiction, unless the corporation’s charter provides otherwise, upon application, may order that an officer or director be indemnified for reasonable expenses if, in consideration of all relevant circumstances, the court determines that such individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, notwithstanding the fact that (a) such officer or director was adjudged liable to the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation; (b) such officer or director was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him; or (c) such officer or director breached his duty of care to the corporation. The charter and bylaws of each of the Tennessee Corporate Registrants provide that such registrant shall indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent allowed by the TBCA.
          Section 48-243-101 of the Tennessee Limited Liability Company Act provides that a limited liability company may indemnify governors, officers and members of the limited liability company against liability if (1) the individual acted in good faith and (2) reasonably believed that such individual’s conduct in his or her official capacity was in the best interest of the limited liability company and in all other cases that such individual’s conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the limited liability company and (3) in a criminal proceeding, the individual had no cause to believe such individual’s conduct was unlawful. Section 48-243-101(b) also provides that unless otherwise provided by its articles of organization, a limited liability company may not indemnify a responsible person in connection with a proceeding to which the responsible person was adjudged liable to the limited liability company or in connection with any other proceeding whereby such responsible person is adjudged liable to the limited liability company for receiving an improper personal benefit. Section 48-243-101(c) provides that unless otherwise provided by its articles of organization, a limited liability company shall indemnify against reasonable expenses incurred by a responsible person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding against

that person as a responsible person for the limited liability company. Section 48-243-101(h) authorizes a limited liability company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a responsible person, manager, employee, independent contractor, or agent of the limited liability company, or who while a responsible person, manager, employee, independent contractor, or agent of the limited liability company, is or was serving at the request of the limited liability company as a responsible person, manager, partner, trustee, employee, independent contractor, or agent of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the limited liability company would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 48-243-101(b) or (c). Section 48-243-101(i) prohibits indemnification if a responsible person is adjudged liable for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the limited liability company or its members or for acts or omissions not in good faith that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or liability upon wrongful distribution.
          The Tennessee Corporate Registrants, and the Tennessee LLC Registrant maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was its director, member or officer, or is now or was serving at the request of each respective company as a director, member, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the bylaws or operating agreement.
Texas Registrant
          Corporate Magic, Inc. (“Corporate Magic”) is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas.
          Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act permits Corporate Magic, in certain circumstances, to indemnify any present or former director, officer, employee or agent of Corporate Magic against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding in which any such person was, is or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of holding such office or position, but only to a limited extent for obligations resulting from a proceeding in which the person is found liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received or in circumstances in which the person is found liable in a derivative suit brought on behalf of Corporate Magic.
          The charter and bylaws of Corporate Magic provide that it may indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Texas Business Corporation Act. Among other things, these provisions generally provide indemnification for Corporate Magic’s directors and officers against liabilities for judgments in and settlements of lawsuits and other proceedings and for the advance and payment of fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the director or officer in defense of any such lawsuit or proceeding if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Corporate Magic, and in certain cases only if the director or officer is not adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
          Corporate Magic maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is or was its director or officer, or is now or was serving at the request of Corporate Magic as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not Corporate Magic would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the bylaws.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
  (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
  (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);
 
  (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total set forth dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
 
  (iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
  (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
  (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
  (4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
  (i)   Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

II-6


Table of Contents

  (ii)   Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
  (5)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
  (i)   Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
  (ii)   Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
  (iii)   The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
  (iv)   Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)   If the securities being registered are offered to existing security holders pursuant to warrants or rights and any securities not taken by security holders are to be reoffered to the public, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.
(d)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(e)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(f)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The registered office and/or registered agent of the Corporation may be changed from time to time by the Corporation. The Corporation may also have an office in the City of Nashville, State of Tennessee, and also offices at such other places as the Board of Directors may from time to time appoint or the business of the Corporation may require.
SEAL
     2. The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation, the year of its organization and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware.” Said seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.
STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS
     3. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the office of the Corporation in Nashville, Tennessee, or elsewhere as specified by the Board of Directors in the notice of meeting.
     4. The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time and place as shall be designated by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, when the stockholders shall elect by a plurality vote, by ballot, the members of the class of the Board of Directors standing for election in that year and transact such other business properly brought before the meeting.
     5. (a) No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be either (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (A) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Paragraph 5 and on the record

 


 

date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (B) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Paragraph 5; clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit any matters (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of stockholders.
          (b) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation and such business must be a proper subject for stockholder action.
          (c) To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event will the adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of stockholders commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Paragraph 5.
          (d) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice (the “Stockholder Proposal Notice”) to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (other than director nominations, which are governed by Paragraph 14 of these Second Amended and Restated By-laws (as amended from time to time, the “By-laws”)) (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below) covered by clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) below, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person and the date(s) on which such stock was acquired, (iv) a description of any economic interest in or any other right with respect to (including from a third party), any securities of the Corporation (or any rights, options or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such securities or any obligations measured by the price or value of any securities of the Corporation, including, without limitation, any swaps or other derivative arrangements), or any short interest in any securities of the Corporation, held by such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person, (v) a description of any material direct or indirect interest of such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person in any proposal or business set forth in the Stockholder Proposal Notice, (vi) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such proper business before the annual meeting and whether or not such stockholder intends to deliver a proxy

statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding shares required to approve the proposal and/or otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of the proposal, (vii) a certification regarding whether or not such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Persons have complied with all applicable federal, state and other legal requirements in connection with such stockholder’s and/or Stockholder Associated Persons’ acquisition of stock or other securities of the Corporation and/or such stockholder’s and/or Stockholder Associated Persons’ acts or omissions as a stockholder of the Corporation, and (viii) any other information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made by the stockholder in connection with solicitations of proxies by the stockholder for a contested election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
          (e) No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with this Paragraph 5, provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with this Paragraph 5, nothing in this Paragraph 5 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of such business. If any information submitted pursuant to this Paragraph 5 by any stockholder submitting any proposal for business at a meeting of stockholders is inaccurate in any material respect, such information shall be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Paragraph 5. If the presiding officer at an annual meeting determines that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the presiding officer shall declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Paragraph 5.
          (f) Nothing in this Paragraph 5 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Any references in these By-laws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to proposed business to be considered pursuant to these By-laws.
          (g) As used in these By-laws, the term “Stockholder Associated Person” means, with respect to any stockholder, (i) any person acting in concert with such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder (other than a stockholder that is a depositary) and (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with any stockholder, or any Stockholder Associated Person identified in clauses (i) or (ii) above.
     6. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding, and entitled to vote thereat, present in person, or represented by proxy, shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by law, by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended from time to time, the “Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), or by these By-laws.

3


 

     Where a separate vote by class or classes is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.
     When any meeting is convened, the presiding officer may adjourn the meeting if (a) no quorum is present for the transaction of business, or (b) the Board of Directors determines that adjournment is necessary or appropriate to enable the stockholders (i) to consider fully information which the Board of Directors determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to stockholders or (ii) otherwise to exercise effectively their voting rights. Prior to the time when any meeting is convened the officer who would be the presiding officer at such meeting, if directed by the Board of Directors, may postpone the meeting if the Board determines that postponement is necessary or appropriate to enable the stockholders (a) to consider fully information which the Board of Directors determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to stockholders or (b) otherwise to exercise effectively their voting rights.
     7. At each meeting of the stockholders every stockholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder and bearing a date not more than three years prior to said meeting, unless such instrument provides for a longer period. Each stockholder shall have such number of votes for each share of stock as provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation that is registered in his name in the stock records of the Corporation. The vote for directors, and, upon the demand of any stockholder, the vote upon any question before the meeting, shall be by ballot. All elections of directors shall be decided by a plurality vote and, except as otherwise required by law or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, all other matters shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter. Where a separate vote by class is required, unless otherwise required by law or the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of such class or classes present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote shall be the act of such class. If any instrument or agreement to which the Corporation is a party and that has been approved by the Board of Directors specifies a different voting standard for any matter to be considered at a meeting of the stockholders, that voting standard shall apply in addition to the requirements set forth herein.
     8. A complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order, with the residence of each, and the number of voting shares held by each, shall be prepared by the Secretary and shall be available at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, at least ten days before such meeting, and shall at all times, during the usual hours for business, and during the whole time of said meeting, be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting.
     9. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, or shall be called by the President or Secretary at the request, in writing, of a majority of the Board of Directors. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

4


 

     10. Business transacted at all special meetings shall be confined to the objects stated in the call.
     11. Written notice of a special meeting of stockholders, stating the time and place and object thereof, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of such meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting at the address as appears in the stock records of the Corporation. If mailed, notice will be deemed given when deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid. When a meeting is for any reason adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned is announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken and at the adjourned meeting only such business is transacted as might have been transacted at the original meeting. However, if after the adjournment the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record on the new record date entitled to notice.
     12. Meetings of the stockholders generally shall follow accepted rules of parliamentary procedure subject to the following:
          (a) The presiding officer of the meeting shall have absolute authority over the matters of procedure, and there shall be no appeal from the ruling of the presiding officer. If, in his absolute discretion, the presiding officer deems it advisable to dispense with the rules of parliamentary procedure as to any meeting of stockholders or part thereof, he or she shall so state and shall state the rules under which the meeting or appropriate part thereof shall be conducted.
          (b) If disorder should arise which prevents the continuation of the legitimate business of the meeting, the presiding officer may quit the chair and announce the adjournment of the meeting; and upon so doing, the meeting is immediately adjourned.
          (c) The presiding officer may ask or require that anyone not a bona fide stockholder or proxy leave the meeting.

DIRECTORS
     13. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors. The number of directors shall be fixed as provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and they shall be elected in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Each director shall be elected to serve until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify.
     14. (a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Paragraph 14 shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation, except as may be otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the right of holders of Preferred Stock of the Corporation to nominate and elect a specified number of directors in certain circumstances. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at any annual meeting of stockholders, or at any special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with Paragraph 9 for the purpose of electing directors, (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation (A) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Paragraph 14 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (B) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Paragraph 14.
          (b) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation.
          (c) To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one-hundred twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business on the one-hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not earlier than the close of business on the one-hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made, whichever first occurs.

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK
     39. (a) The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated shares of stock.

Upon the receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of uncertificated shares, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue (i) a new certificate or certificates of stock or (ii) uncertificated shares to the person entitled thereto and record the transaction on its books.

          (a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting;
          (b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no

REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS
     43. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the holder in fact thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as expressly provided by the laws of Delaware.
INSPECTION OF BOOKS
     44. The Board of Directors shall determine from time to time whether, and, if allowed, when and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Corporation (except such as may by statute be specifically open to inspection) or any of them shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders, and the stockholders’ rights in this respect are and shall be restricted and limited accordingly to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     46. The fiscal year shall begin the first day of January in each year or such other date as may be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.
DIVIDENDS
     47. Dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if any, may be declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the capital stock.
     Before payment of any dividend there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve fund to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose as the directors shall think conducive to the interests of the Corporation.

     48. Whenever under the provisions of these By-laws, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by law, written notice is required to be given to any director, officer or stockholder, it shall not be construed to mean personal notice, but such notice will be deemed given by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such stockholder, officer, or director at such address as appears on the stock book of the Corporation and, such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States mail. To the extent permitted by applicable law, written notice may also be given personally or by telephone, express mail, courier service, confirmed facsimile or electronic mail.
     49. Whenever under the provisions of these By-laws, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by law, notice is required to be given to any director, officer or stockholder, a waiver thereof in writing, signed, by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto.

INDEMNIFICATION
     53. (a) Subject to clause (c) of this Paragraph 53, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
          (b) Subject to clause (c) of this Paragraph 53, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery, or the court in which such action or suit was brought, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
          (c) Any indemnification under this Paragraph 53 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in clause (a) or (b) of this Paragraph 53, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders.

18


 

To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
          (d) For purposes of any determination under clause (c) of this Paragraph 53, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, if his or her action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to him or her by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this clause (d) shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this clause (d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of this Paragraph 53, as the case may be.
          (e) Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under clause (c) of this Paragraph 53, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under clauses (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 53, as the case may be. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 53, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under clause (c) of this Paragraph 53 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this clause (e) shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
          (f) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a present or former director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Paragraph 53 or applicable law. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

          (g) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Paragraph 53 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the By-laws or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in clauses (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 53 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Paragraph 53 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Paragraph 53 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise.
          (h) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Paragraph 53.
          (i) For purposes of this Paragraph 53, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Paragraph 53 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Paragraph 53, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Paragraph 53.
          (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Paragraph 53 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

20


 

          (k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 53 to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by clause (e) hereof), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
          (1) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Paragraph 53 to directors and officers of the Corporation.
          (m) Any repeal or modification of this Paragraph 53 will only be prospective and will not affect the rights under this Paragraph 53 in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any acts, omissions, facts or circumstances occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

     Re: Shelf Registration of Gaylord Entertainment Company
Ladies and Gentlemen:
          We have acted as counsel to Gaylord Entertainment Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with its filing of a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), including the prospectus constituting a part thereof (the “Prospectus”), filed on May 7, 2009, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We have been requested by the Company to render this opinion in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement.
          The Prospectus provides that it will be supplemented in the future by one or more supplements to the Prospectus (each a “Prospectus Supplement”). The Prospectus, as supplemented by various Prospectus Supplements, will provide for the registration by the Company of up to $750,000,000 aggregate offering price of (i) secured or unsecured debt securities, in one or more series, which may be either senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities (the “Debt Securities”) to be issued pursuant to an Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee (the “Trustee”), which may be supplemented for any series of Debt Securities (the “Indenture”), (ii) guarantees of the Debt Securities (the “Guarantees”) made by one or more of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries listed as co-registrants in the Registration Statement (the “Guarantors”), (iii) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, in one or more series or classes (the “Preferred Stock”), (iv) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in one or more classes (“Common Stock”), (v) warrants to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Debt Securities (the “Warrants”), (vi) subscription rights to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Debt Securities (the “Rights”), or (vii) any combination of the foregoing, either individually or as units consisting of one or more of the foregoing, each on terms to be determined at the time of sale. The Debt Securities, Guarantees, Preferred Stock, Common Stock, Warrants and Rights are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” Any Debt Securities may be exchangeable and/or convertible into shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may also be exchangeable for and/or convertible into shares of Common Stock or another series of Preferred Stock.

          In rendering our opinion, we have reviewed the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto. We have also reviewed such corporate documents and records of the Company and the Guarantors, such certificates of public officials and such other matters as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. We also have been furnished with, and with your consent have relied upon, certificates of officers of the Company with respect to certain factual matters.
          Except to the extent we opine as to the binding effect and/or enforceability of certain documents as set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 5 and 6 below, we have assumed that all documents referenced below are the valid and binding obligations of and enforceable against the parties thereto.

  3.   (a) When a new class or series of Preferred Stock has been duly established in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and applicable law (in the event that the Preferred Stock is a new class or series of Preferred Stock), and upon adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company of a resolution in form and content as required by applicable law, and (b) assuming that appropriate articles of amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation relating to such class or series of Preferred Stock have been duly approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and been filed with and accepted for record by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and (c) assuming that the Registration Statement and any required post-effective amendment(s) thereto and any and all Prospectus Supplement(s) required by applicable laws have become effective under the Securities Act, and (d) assuming that upon the issuance of such Preferred Stock, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the applicable class or series of Preferred Stock will not exceed the total number of shares of Preferred Stock or the
