Exhibit B <br /> Schedule 1 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />Exhibit B <br />Schedule 1 <br />Business Travel Policy <br /> <br />1. Air Travel <br /> <br />A. Reservations & Tickets <br /> <br />The Travel Management Company (TMC) used by Tyler will provide an employee with a direct flight <br />within two hours before or after the requested departure time, assuming that flight does not add <br />more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration and the fare is within $100 (each way) <br />of the lowest logical fare. If a net savings of $200 or more (each way) is possible through a <br />connecting flight that is within two hours before or after the requested departure time and that <br />does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration, the connecting flight <br />should be accepted. <br /> <br />Employees are encouraged to make advanced reservations to take full advantage of discount <br />opportunities. Employees should use all reasonable efforts to make travel arrangements at least <br />two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. A seven (7) day advance booking requirement is <br />mandatory. When booking less than seven (7) days in advance, management approval will be <br />required. <br /> <br />Except in the case of international travel where a segment of continuous air travel is six (6) or more <br />consecutive hours in length, only economy or coach class seating is reimbursable. Employees shall <br />not be reimbursed for “Basic Economy Fares” because these fares are non-refundable and have <br />many restrictions that outweigh the cost-savings. <br /> <br />B. Baggage Fees <br /> <br />Reimbursement of personal baggage charges are based on trip duration as follows: <br /> <br />• Up to five (5) days = one (1) checked bag <br />• Six (6) or more days = two (2) checked bags <br /> <br />Baggage fees for sports equipment are not reimbursable. <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 6FC12B63-3E9A-4FBB-9F3D-622DAFB48167
