Exhibit B <br /> Schedule 1 <br /> <br />2 <br />2. Ground Transportation <br /> <br />A. Private Automobile <br /> <br />Mileage Allowance – Business use of an employee’s private automobile will be reimbursed at the <br />current IRS allowable rate, plus out of pocket costs for tolls and parking. Mileage will be calculated <br />by using the employee's office as the starting and ending point, in compliance with IRS regulations. <br />Employees who have been designated a home office should calculate miles from their home. <br /> <br />B. Rental Car <br />Employees are authorized to rent cars only in conjunction with air travel when cost, convenience, <br />and the specific situation reasonably require their use. When renting a car for Tyler business, <br />employees should select a “mid-size” or “intermediate” car. “Full” size cars may be rented when <br />three or more employees are traveling together. Tyler carries leased vehicle coverage for business <br />car rentals; except for employees traveling to Alaska and internationally (excluding Canada), <br />additional insurance on the rental agreement should be declined. <br /> <br />C. Public Transportation <br /> <br />Taxi or airport limousine services may be considered when traveling in and around cities or to and <br />from airports when less expensive means of transportation are unavailable or impractical. The <br />actual fare plus a reasonable tip (15-18%) are reimbursable. In the case of a free hotel shuttle to the <br />airport, tips are included in the per diem rates and will not be reimbursed separately. <br /> <br />D. Parking & Tolls <br /> <br />When parking at the airport, employees must use longer term parking areas that are measured in <br />days as opposed to hours. Park and fly options located near some airports may also be used. For <br />extended trips that would result in excessive parking charges, public transportation to/from the <br />airport should be considered. Tolls will be reimbursed when receipts are presented. <br /> <br />3. Lodging <br /> <br />Tyler’s TMC will select hotel chains that are well established, reasonable in price, and conveniently <br />located in relation to the traveler's work assignment. Typical hotel chains include Courtyard, <br />Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. If the employee has a discount rate with a local <br />hotel, the hotel reservation should note that discount and the employee should confirm the lower <br />rate with the hotel upon arrival. Employee memberships in travel clubs such as AAA should be <br />noted in their travel profiles so that the employee can take advantage of any lower club rates. <br /> <br />“No shows” or cancellation fees are not reimbursable if the employee does not comply with the <br />hotel’s cancellation policy. <br /> <br />Tips for maids and other hotel staff are included in the per diem rate and are not reimbursed <br />separately. <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 6FC12B63-3E9A-4FBB-9F3D-622DAFB48167
