Tyler prefers to receive payments electronically. Tyler’s electronic payment information is available by contacting AR@tylertech.com. Exhibit C Schedule 1 Business Travel Policy 1. Air Travel A. Reservations & Tickets The Travel Management Company (TMC) used by Tyler will provide an employee with a direct flight within two hours before or after the requested departure time, assuming that flight does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration and the fare is within $100 (each way) of the lowest logical fare. If a net savings of $200 or more (each way) is possible through a connecting flight that is within two hours before or after the requested departure time and that does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration, the connecting flight should be accepted. Employees are encouraged to make advanced reservations to take full advantage of discount opportunities. Employees should use all reasonable efforts to make travel arrangements at least two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. A seven (7) day advance booking requirement is mandatory. When booking less than seven (7) days in advance, management approval will be required. Except in the case of international travel where a segment of continuous air travel is six (6) or more consecutive hours in length, only economy or coach class seating is reimbursable. Employees shall not be reimbursed for “Basic Economy Fares” because these fares are non-refundable and have many restrictions that outweigh the cost-savings. B. Baggage Fees Reimbursement of personal baggage charges are based on trip duration as follows: • Up to five (5) days = one (1) checked bag • Six (6) or more days = two (2) checked bags Baggage fees for sports equipment are not reimbursable. 2. Ground Transportation A. Private Automobile Mileage Allowance – Business use of an employee’s private automobile will be reimbursed at the current IRS allowable rate, plus out of pocket costs for tolls and parking. Mileage will be calculated by using the employee's office as the starting and ending point, in compliance with IRS regulations. Employees who have been designated a home office should calculate miles from their home. B. Rental Car Employees are authorized to rent cars only in conjunction with air travel when cost, convenience, and the specific situation reasonably require their use. When renting a car for Tyler business, employees should select a “mid-size” or “intermediate” car. “Full” size cars may be rented when three or more employees are traveling together. Tyler carries leased vehicle coverage for business car rentals; except for employees traveling to Alaska and internationally (excluding Canada), additional insurance on the rental agreement should be declined. C. Public Transportation Taxi or airport limousine services may be considered when traveling in and around cities or to and from airports when less expensive means of transportation are unavailable or impractical. The actual fare plus a reasonable tip (15-18%) are reimbursable. In the case of a free hotel shuttle to the airport, tips are included in the per diem rates and will not be reimbursed separately. D. Parking & Tolls When parking at the airport, employees must use longer term parking areas that are measured in days as opposed to hours. Park and fly options located near some airports may also be used. For extended trips that would result in excessive parking charges, public transportation to/from the airport should be considered. Tolls will be reimbursed when receipts are presented. 3. Lodging Tyler’s TMC will select hotel chains that are well established, reasonable in price, and conveniently located in relation to the traveler's work assignment. Typical hotel chains include Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. If the employee has a discount rate with a local hotel, the hotel reservation should note that discount and the employee should confirm the lower rate with the hotel upon arrival. Employee memberships in travel clubs such as AAA should be noted in their travel profiles so that the employee can take advantage of any lower club rates. “No shows” or cancellation fees are not reimbursable if the employee does not comply with the hotel’s cancellation policy. Tips for maids and other hotel staff are included in the per diem rate and are not reimbursed separately. Employees are not authorized to reserve non-traditional short-term lodging, such as Airbnb, VRBO, and HomeAway. Employees who elect to make such reservations shall not be reimbursed. 4. Meals and Incidental Expenses Employee meals and incidental expenses while on travel status within the continental U.S. are in accordance with the federal per diem rates published by the General Services Administration. Incidental expenses include tips to maids, hotel staff, and shuttle drivers and other minor travel expenses. Per diem rates are available at www.gsa.gov/perdiem. Per diem for Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. protectorates and international destinations are provided separately by the Department of State and will be determined as required. A. Overnight Travel For each full day of travel, all three meals are reimbursable. Per diems on the first and last day of a trip are governed as set forth below. Departure Day Depart before 12:00 noon Lunch and dinner Depart after 12:00 noon Return Day Dinner Return before 12:00 noon Breakfast Return between 12:00 noon & 7:00 p.m. Breakfast and lunch Return after 7:00 p.m.* Breakfast, lunch and dinner *7:00 p.m. is defined as direct travel time and does not include time taken to stop for dinner. The reimbursement rates for individual meals are calculated as a percentage of the full day per diem as follows: Breakfast 15% Lunch 25% Dinner 60% B. Same Day Travel Employees traveling at least 100 miles to a site and returning in the same day are eligible to claim lunch on an expense report. Employees on same day travel status are eligible to claim dinner in the event they return home after 7:00 p.m.* *7:00 p.m. is defined as direct travel time and does not include time taken to stop for dinner. 5. Internet Access – Hotels and Airports Employees who travel may need to access their e-mail at night. Many hotels provide free high speed internet access and Tyler employees are encouraged to use such hotels whenever possible. If an employee’s hotel charges for internet access it is reimbursable up to $10.00 per day. Charges for internet access at airports are not reimbursable. Exhibit D Maintenance and Support Agreement Tyler will provide Client with the following maintenance and support services for the Tyler Software. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined will have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Agreement. 1. Term. Tyler provides maintenance and support services on an annual basis. The initial term commences on the Effective Date and remains in effect for five (5) years. 2. Maintenance and Support Fees. Client’s year 1 maintenance and support fees for the Tyler Software are listed in the Investment Summary, and Client’s payment obligations are set forth in the Invoicing and Payment Policy. Tyler reserves the right to suspend maintenance and support services if Client fails to pay undisputed maintenance and support fees within thirty (30) days of Tyler’s written notice. Tyler will reinstate maintenance and support services only if Client pays all past due maintenance and support fees, including all fees for the periods during which services were suspended. 3. Maintenance and Support Services. As long as Client is not using the Tyler Help Desk as a substitute for Tyler training services on the Tyler Software, and Client timely pays Client’s maintenance and support fees, Tyler will, consistent with Tyler’s then-current Support Call Process: 3.1 perform Tyler maintenance and support obligations in a professional, good, and workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards, to resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (limited to the then-current version and the immediately prior version); provided, however, that if Client modifies the Tyler Software without Tyler’s consent, Tyler’s obligation to provide maintenance and support services on and warrant the Tyler Software will be void; 3.2 provide telephone support during Tyler established support hours; 3.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services; 3.4 provide Client with a copy of all major and minor releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements) that Tyler makes generally available without additional charge to customers who have a maintenance and support agreement in effect; and 3.5 provide non-Defect resolution support of prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with Tyler’s then-current release life cycle policy. 4. Client Responsibilities. Tyler will use all reasonable efforts to perform any maintenance and support services remotely. Currently, Tyler uses a third-party secure unattended connectivity tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, Client agrees to maintain a high-speed internet connection capable of connecting Tyler to Client’s PCs and server(s). Client agrees to provide Tyler with a login account and local administrative privileges as Tyler may reasonably require to perform remote services. Tyler will, at Tyler’s option, use the secure connection to assist with proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security protocols. If Tyler cannot resolve a support issue remotely, Tyler may be required to provide onsite services. In such event, Tyler will be responsible for Tyler’s travel expenses, unless it is determined that the reason onsite support was required was a reason outside Tyler’s control. Either way, Client agrees to provide Tyler with full and free access to the Tyler Software, working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the equipment, and use of machines, attachments, features, or other equipment reasonably necessary for Tyler to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to Tyler. Tyler strongly recommends that Client also maintain a VPN for backup connectivity purposes. 5. Hardware and Other Systems. If Client is a self-hosted customer and, in the process of diagnosing a software support issue, it is discovered that one of Client’ peripheral systems or other software is the cause of the issue, Tyler will notify Client so that Client may contact the support agency for that peripheral system. Tyler cannot support or maintain Third Party Products except as expressly set forth in the Agreement. In order for Tyler to provide the highest level of software support, Client bears the following responsibility related to hardware and software: (a) All infrastructure executing Tyler Software shall be managed by Client; (b) Client will maintain support contracts for all non-Tyler software associated with Tyler Software (including operating systems and database management systems, but excluding Third-Party Software, if any); and (c) Client will perform daily database backups and verify that those backups are successful. 6. Other Excluded Services. Maintenance and support fees do not include fees for the following services: (a) initial installation or implementation of the Tyler Software; (b) onsite maintenance and support (unless Tyler cannot remotely correct a Defect in the Tyler Software, as set forth above); (c) application design; (d) other consulting services; (e) maintenance and support of an operating system or hardware, unless Client is a hosted customer; (f) support outside Tyler normal business hours as listed in Tyler’s then-current Support Call Process; or (g) installation, training services, or third party product costs related to a new release. Requested maintenance and support services such as those outlined in this section will be billed to Client on a time and materials basis at Tyler’s then current rates. Client must request those services with at least one (1) week’s advance notice. 7. Current Support Call Process. Tyler’s current Support Call Process for the Tyler Software is attached to this Exhibit D at Schedule 1. Exhibit D Schedule 1 Support Call Process Support Channels Tyler Technologies, Inc. provides the following channels of software support for authorized users*: (1) On-line submission (portal) – for less urgent and functionality-based questions, users may create support incidents through the Tyler Customer Portal available at the Tyler Technologies website. A built-in Answer Panel provides users with resolutions to most “how-to” and configuration- based questions through a simplified search interface with machine learning, potentially eliminating the need to submit the support case. (2) Email – for less urgent situations, users may submit emails directly to the software support group. (3) Telephone – for urgent or complex questions, users receive toll-free, telephone software support. * Channel availability may be limited for certain applications. Support Resources A number of additional resources are available to provide a comprehensive and complete support experience: (1) Tyler Website – www.tylertech.com – for accessing client tools, documentation, and other information including support contact information. (2) Tyler Search – a knowledge based search engine that lets clients search multiple sources simultaneously to find the answers clients need, 24x7. (3) Tyler Community – provides a venue for all Tyler clients with current maintenance agreements to collaborate with one another, share best practices and resources, and access documentation. (4) Tyler University – online training courses on Tyler products. Support Availability Tyler Technologies support is available during the local business hours of 8 AM to 5 PM (Monday – Friday) across four US time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern). Tyler’s holiday schedule is outlined below. There will be no support coverage on these days. New Year’s Day Labor Day Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Thanksgiving Day Memorial Day Day after Thanksgiving Independence Day Christmas Day For support teams that provide after-hours service, Tyler will provide Client with procedures for contacting support staff after normal business hours for reporting Priority Level 1 Defects only. Upon receipt of such a Defect notification, Tyler will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the resolution targets set forth below. We will also make commercially reasonable efforts to be available for one pre-scheduled Saturday of each month to assist Client’s IT staff with applying patches and release upgrades, as well as consulting with them on server maintenance and configuration of the Tyler Software environment. SERIAL# 240128-IGA Incident Handling Incident Tracking Every support incident is logged into Tyler’s Customer Relationship Management System and given a unique case number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The case number is used to track and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the case number, through Tyler’s Customer Portal or by calling software support directly. Incident Priority Each incident is assigned a priority level, which corresponds to the Client’s needs. Tyler and the Client will reasonably set the priority of the incident per the chart below. This chart is not intended to address every type of support incident, and certain “characteristics” may or may not apply depending on whether the Tyler software has been deployed on customer infrastructure or the Tyler cloud. The goal is to help guide the Client towards clearly understanding and communicating the importance of the issue and to describe generally expected response and resolution targets in the production environment only. References to a “confirmed support incident” mean that Tyler and the Client have successfully validated the reported Defect/support incident. Priority Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets* 1 Critical Support incident that causes (a) complete application failure or application unavailability; (b) application failure or unavailability in one or more of the client’s remote location; or (c) systemic loss of multiple essential system functions. Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 1 incidents within one (1) business hour of receipt of the incident. Once the incident has been confirmed, Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such support incidents or provide a circumvention procedure within one (1) business day. For non-hosted customers, Tyler’s responsibility for lost or corrupted data is limited to assisting the Client in restoring its last available database. 2 High Support incident that causes (a) repeated, consistent failure of essential functionality affecting more than one user or (b) loss or corruption of data. Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 2 incidents within four (4) business hours of receipt of the incident. Once the incident has been confirmed, Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such support incidents or provide a circumvention procedure within ten (10) business days. For non-hosted customers, Tyler’s responsibility for loss or corrupted data is limited to assisting the Client in restoring its last available database. SERIAL# 240128-IGA Priority Level Characteristics of Support Incident Resolution Targets* 3 Medium Priority Level 1 incident with an existing circumvention procedure, or a Priority Level 2 incident that affects only one user or for which there is an existing circumvention procedure. Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 3 incidents within one (1) business day of receipt of the incident. Once the incident has been confirmed, Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such support incidents without the need for a circumvention procedure with the next published maintenance update or service pack, which shall occur at least quarterly. For non-hosted customers, Tyler’s responsibility for lost or corrupted data is limited to assisting the Client in restoring its last available database. 4 Non- critical Support incident that causes failure of non-essential functionality or a cosmetic or other issue that does not qualify as any other Priority Level. Tyler shall provide an initial response to Priority Level 4 incidents within two (2) business days of receipt of the incident. Once the incident has been confirmed, Tyler shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such support incidents, as well as cosmetic issues, with a future version release. *Response and Resolution Targets may differ by product or business need Incident Escalation If Tyler is unable to resolve any priority level 1 or 2 defect as listed above or the priority of an issue has elevated since initiation, Client may escalate the incident to the appropriate resource, as outlined by each product support team. The corresponding resource will meet with Client and any Tyler staff to establish a mutually agreeable plan for addressing the defect. Remote Support Tool Some support calls may require further analysis of the Client’s database, processes, or setup to diagnose a problem or to assist with a question. Tyler will, at its discretion, use an industry-standard remote support tool. Tyler’s support team must have the ability to quickly connect to the Client’s system and view the site’s setup, diagnose problems, or assist with screen navigation. More information about the remote support tool Tyler uses is available upon request.
