The following information is as of the close of business on October
1, 1998:
The Voting Trust beneficially owns 13,649,574 shares of Common Stock,
constituting 41.33% of the Issuer's total shares outstanding. Under the terms of
the Voting Trust Agreement, the Voting Trust has sole power to vote or direct
the vote of, and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of, the
12,559,974 shares deposited in the Voting Trust. The shared power over the
disposition of these shares exists by virtue of the Voting Trustees' authority
over the withdrawal of such shares (described above in Item 2). The total figure
also includes 1,089,600 shares that are beneficially owned by OPUBCO, a
corporation that is controlled by the Voting Trust, over which the Voting Trust
may be deemed to share power over the voting and disposition by reason of its
control. The Voting Trust disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by
OPUBCO.
Edward L. Gaylord has the power to vote or direct the vote of, or to
dispose or direct the disposition of, 14,349,007 shares of Common Stock,
constituting 43.58% of total shares outstanding. This figure does not include
shares owned by Mr. Gaylord's wife Thelma F. Gaylord, his children Christine
Gaylord Everest, Edward K. Gaylord II, and Louise Gaylord Bennett, and his
sister Edith Gaylord Harper, as to which Mr. Gaylord disclaims beneficial
ownership. It does include 4,666,558 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Gaylord as
Trustee for the Edward L. Gaylord Revocable Trust (4,635,998 of which are held
in the Voting Trust); 848,646 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Gaylord as
Trustee for the Mary I. Gaylord Revocable Living Trust (all of which are held in
the Voting Trust); 128,625 shares beneficially owned by The Oklahoman
Foundation, a charitable trust of which Mr. Gaylord is a co-Trustee with
Christine Gaylord Everest and Edward K. Gaylord II; 262,395 shares beneficially
owned by Gayno, Inc., a corporation controlled by Mr. Gaylord; 143,583 shares
beneficially owned by the E.L. and Thelma Gaylord Foundation, a charitable trust
of which Mr. Gaylord is a co-Trustee with his wife Thelma F. Gaylord; 13,333
shares beneficially owned by The Mary Gaylord Foundation, a charitable
foundation of which Mr. Gaylord is a co-Trustee with his daughter Mary I.
Gaylord; 120,937 shares subject to unexercised stock options; and 1,089,600
shares beneficially owned by OPUBCO, a corporation of which Mr. Gaylord is
Chairman with the shared power to vote and dispose of the shares as portfolio
securities, as to which Mr. Gaylord disclaims beneficial ownership. Because Mr.
Gaylord is a Voting Trustee of the Voting Trust with shared voting power over
the shares in the Voting Trust, the figure also includes the shares held in the
Voting Trust that are owned by persons other than Mr. Gaylord, as to which Mr.
Gaylord disclaims beneficial ownership. Of the aggregate number of shares
reported above, Mr. Gaylord has sole power to vote or direct the vote of, and
sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of, 413,892 shares, and shared
power to
PAGE 6 OF 7
<PAGE> 7
vote or direct the vote of, and shared power to dispose or direct the
disposition of, 13,935,115 shares.
Edith Gaylord Harper has the power to vote or direct the vote of, or
to dispose or direct the disposition of, 12,956,908 shares of Common Stock,
constituting 39.49% of total shares outstanding. This figure does not include
shares owned by Mrs. Harper's brother Edward L. Gaylord, as to which Mrs. Harper
disclaims beneficial ownership. It does include 2,133,371 shares held by the
Edith Gaylord Harper 1995 Revocable Trust, of which 1,736,437 shares are held in
the Voting Trust. Mrs. Harper is a co-Trustee of that trust with William J. Ross
and David O. Hogan. Because Mrs. Harper is a Voting Trustee of the Voting Trust
with shared voting power over the shares in the Voting Trust, the figure also
includes the shares held in the Voting Trust that are owned by persons other
than Mrs. Harper, as to which Mrs. Harper disclaims beneficial ownership. Mrs.
Harper has shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and shared power to
dispose or direct the disposition of, all the shares reported above.
Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has engaged
in any transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer during the past sixty
days.
Except as set forth above, there are no other persons with the right
to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the securities described herein.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
