EX-10.15 PERSONAL USE OF COMPANY AIRCRAFT POLICY






Exhibit 10.15




Total System Services, Inc.




Personal Use of Company Aircraft Policy 




     Commercial flights out of Columbus, GA are very limited, and travelers must allow several hours of
travel/check-in time for departures from Hartsfield, Atlanta, Georgia. In order to support
efficient travel arrangements and maximize productivity and availability, the Company has
authorized personal use of Company aircraft by certain Key Executives. Specifically, eligible Key
Executives are allowed a specified number of hours of personal use of Company aircraft during each
calendar year.



     Personal use of Company aircraft by Key Executives includes non-business flights on which the Key
Executive and his or her non-business guests are the only passengers aboard the aircraft and also
includes non-business flights on which the Key Executive is not aboard the aircraft but his or her
non-business guests are the only passengers aboard the aircraft. Personal use must be scheduled
when aircraft are not scheduled for business use.



     Personal use of Company aircraft is calculated using “block hours,” as opposed to “flight hours,”
and includes “deadhead legs.”



     For purposes of calculating the number of hours of personal use of Company aircraft, each block
hour of turbo-prop usage shall equal “one hour of personal use” and each block hour of jet usage
shall equal “five hours of personal use.” Usage of less than whole hours shall be recorded
proportionately. De minimis overages may be approved by Sanders Griffith to reflect unforeseen
delays (such as traffic and weather delays) and other scheduling issues.



     Personal use of Company aircraft by Key Executives and their non-business guests is tracked and the
value reported for tax purposes for the Key Executive.



     The following Key Executives are authorized to use Company aircraft for personal use subject to the
specified hour limitations1:




	 	•	 	Philip W. Tomlinson, Chairman and CEO: 30 hours turbo-prop use/6 hours jet use
	 
	 	•	 	M. Troy Woods, President and COO: 30 hours turbo-prop use/6 hours jet use
	 
	 	•	 	William A. Pruett, Senior Executive Vice President: 20 hours turbo-prop use/4 hours jet
use







 




			
	1	 	Specified hour limits represent a combination of
turbo-prop and jet use. For example, if a Key Executive who has been
authorized “30 hours turbo-prop use/6 hours jet use” logs 3 hours of jet use,
his remaining hours are 15 hours of turbo-prop use or three hours of jet use,
or a combination thereof.
