Re: Escrow Services for Source code

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leo,

We offer a source code escrow option with all of our products. The
company we use is Fort Know Escrow Services. They have several options
for doing escrows. Their phone number is: 800-875-5669. There are other
companies that do this, too.
