         Escalation Response Services are services to handle issues and cases

         assigning, monitoring, and reporting on issues and cases that require
         escalated handling. Service Provider will have representatives
         available to handle escalations from [***]*
                                               ---

         Customer and Service Provider will apply the criteria upon which an
         issue shall be deemed to merit escalation, and the protocols and
         notifications to be followed for escalated issues that are documented
         in the Escalation Response Team Transition - Process Service Delivery
         Model (PSDM) dated June 14, 2002.

         Customer will maintain all escalations related to services provided by
         the Customer, including but not limited to escalations relating to
         employee relations and ERISA. Service Provider will handle escalations
         related to Services provided by the Service Provider either directly
         orthrough Third Party Contracts.
