|(2) | In 2002, PHI granted performance award opportunities under PHI's Merger Integration Success Program, a component of PHI's Long-Term Incentive Plan pursuant to which the recipient was entitled to earn some or all of the maximum award of shares of PHI's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), based on PHI's performance and the extent to which operating efficiencies and expense reduction goals were attained through December 31, 2004.  On March 11, 2005, the PHI Compensation/Human Resources Committee approved the vesting of the awards.  The value of the vested Common Stock has been calculated by multiplying the number of vested shares by the market price of the Common Stock on the day preceding the vesting date.
