Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Statement

It is the policy of the Company to provide attractive and rewarding employment. Our recruitment and personnel policies and practices are administered on the basis of merit, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital status, veteran status, condition of mental or physical disability, or any other factor not related to job requirements and sound business practice.

As the labor pool changes, Intrado’s ability to succeed long-term will depend upon how successfully we can compete in our labor markets. To be competitive, we must implement strategies to successfully attract the very best of employees, while at the same time assure there are no employment barriers that might inhibit their full utilization within the Intrado family. To meet this challenge, Intrado Inc. has implemented an Affirmative Action Program ("AAP").

The further development of an inclusive work environment will yield great returns not just in our organizational effectiveness and efficiency, but also to our bottom line. A solid AAP strengthens our workforce with a greater breadth of talent and viewpoints within Intrado. Additionally, it provides us with directed hiring practices and strategies, improved community relations and allows us to compete for federal government contracts, a very lucrative market which requires Affirmative Action compliance.

Though Intrado has always done a terrific job hiring the right people, our AAP mandates that we put an extra effort into all of our people programs. I ask that each of you share in meeting these responsibilities by incorporating the Affirmative Action policies into your own day-to-day decisions and activities. All members of management are made fully aware of their responsibilities in carrying out our affirmative action commitments, and in continuing to maintain a work environment free of unlawful discrimination. I know that I can personally count on your support for this program as we move forward. Through our mutual efforts, we can ensure continued market leadership and excellence within Intrado Inc.
