                                              BASIC PLAN CONCEPTS

This plan is a Long-Term Performance Unit plan. A Long-Term Performance Unit plan provides a contingent grant
of RSUs at the beginning of the performance Cycle that represents the Target Units to be earned at the end of
the performance cycle. A RSU represents the right to receive one share of PNX common stock. The Target Units
are based on a $___ million target award divided by PNX's stock price as of January 2, 2004. The number of RSUs
actually earned at the end of the cycle may be higher than the Target Units, depending on the extent to which
the performance objectives are achieved. The maximum units are based on a $___ million maximum award divided by
PNX's stock price as of January 2, 2004. The ultimate value of the award depends on both the number of RSUs
earned and PNX's stock price at the end of the cycle.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA:
Your actual RSUs awarded at the end of the Performance Cycle will be based on the achievement of the following
performance criteria:

Actual Award Determination:
The Performance Cycle is a three-year cycle from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2006, with awards
determined in the first quarter following the end of the cycle. This award will be reviewed by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors.

Payment of Awards and Retention Requirements:
Awards for this Performance Cycle will be determined in first quarter 2007 and paid in PNX restricted stock
units. Unless you elect otherwise, RSUs will immediately convert into shares of PNX common stock. Based on the
share ownership and retention guidelines, you will be required to hold a fixed percentage of the shares to help
you attain your ownership guideline of a multiple of your base salary; you will be able to sell the remaining
award upon receipt.

You may elect to receive delivery of the shares when awarded, or may defer delivery of all or some of the
shares until retirement or a specified future date. Consistent with the share ownership guidelines, RSUs that
you elect to defer will count as share holdings for the purpose of meeting the guidelines. This election to
defer must be made during an open trading window, but in any event, by December 31, 2006 and is subject to the
withdrawal requirements required by deferred compensation rules.

If you leave the company due to death, disability or approved retirement during this Performance Cycle, your
award will be determined by prorating the percentage of your Target Units according to the number of months
that you were actively at work. You will receive full credit for your last month even if you only worked part
of that month. Any shares of PNX Common Stock that would have been issuable, shall be delivered to you or your
beneficiary or estate as soon as practical following the determination of results.

If your employment with the company is terminated during the Performance Cycle for any other reason, you will
not receive an award.

Impact On Benefits:

Long-Term incentive payments made under the plan will not be used for determining pay-related benefits under
either qualified or nonqualified benefit plans maintained by Phoenix.
