9. LEASES:

The Company is a lessee of a 65.3-acre site in Osceola County, Florida on which Gaylord Palms is located; building or land leases for Ole Red Gatlinburg, Ole Red Orlando, Ole Red Tishomingo, Ole Red Nashville International Airport and Ole Red Las Vegas; and various warehouse, general office and other equipment leases. The Gaylord Palms land lease has a term through 2074, which may be extended through January 2101, at the Company’s discretion. The leases for Ole Red locations range from five to ten years, with renewal options ranging from five to fifty-five years, at the Company’s discretion, with the exception of Ole Red Nashville International Airport, which has no extension option. Extension options were not considered reasonably assured to be exercised as of the date of the agreement and, as a result, are not included in the Company’s calculation of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The terms of the Gaylord Palms lease include variable lease payments based upon net revenues at Gaylord Palms, and certain other of the Company’s leases include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
