                            AMERICAN LAND LEASE, INC.
                  DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

I.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

         The purpose of the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Plan") of American Land Lease, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is
to provide existing holders (the "Stockholders") of the Company's outstanding
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), with a convenient
and cost-effective method to purchase additional shares of Common Stock. The
Plan provides the Company with a means of raising additional capital for
investment in our limited partnership, Asset Investors Operating Partnership,
L.P., and its operations on an economical basis. The Plan was authorized by the
Company's Board of Directors on May 3, 2002 and became effective on such date.

II.      ADMINISTRATION

         The Plan will initially be administered by Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota,
N.A. (the "Plan Administrator"). An investor who participates in any feature of
the Plan is hereafter referred to as a "Participant." The Plan Administrator
keeps records, sends statements of account to each Participant, provides
safekeeping for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Plan and
performs other duties relating to the Plan.

         The Plan Administrator will establish an account under the Plan for
each Participant (each a "Participant's Account"). The Plan Administrator will
credit to the Participant's Account cash received by the Plan Administrator for
the Participant from cash dividends paid on the shares of Common Stock,
including those full and fractional shares of Common Stock (computed to three
decimal places) acquired under the Plan, and all voluntary cash contributions
for Cash Purchases received by the Plan Administrator from the Participant. The
Company will pay to the Plan Administrator all cash dividends payable with
respect to participating shares of Common Stock owned by the Participants,
including shares and fractional shares previously acquired under the Plan. The
Plan Administrator will apply such funds toward the purchase of additional
shares of Common Stock for the Participant's Account either directly from the
Company or on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, as
instructed by the Company.

         As soon as practicable after the purchases of shares of Common Stock
have been completed, the Plan Administrator will send each Participant a
statement of their account ("Account Statement"). The Account Statement will
confirm the transaction and itemize any previous investment activity for the
calendar year. Each Participant, by participating in the Plan, agrees to notify
the Plan Administrator promptly in writing of any change of address. Account
statements should be retained by the Participant for his or her own records.

         The Company may, in its sole discretion upon thirty days prior written
notice to the Plan Administrator, release the Plan Administrator as
administrator of the Plan; however, if the Plan is in effect, the Company must
immediately engage a plan administrator to replace the Plan Administrator. The
Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion upon thirty days prior written
notice to the Company, withdraw as administrator of the Plan.

III.     PARTICIPATION

         Participation in the Plan is open to any Stockholder of the Company who
fulfills the requirements for participation described below under "Participation
Options." A Stockholder who owns shares of Common Stock in its own name is
referred to herein as a "Stockholder of Record." A Stockholder of Record may
participate directly in the Plan. A Stockholder who beneficially owns shares of
Common Stock that are registered in a name other than such Stockholder's name
(for example, where shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other
nominee) is referred to herein as a "Beneficial Owner." A Beneficial Owner may
participate in the Plan by either (i) becoming a Stockholder of

<PAGE>

Record by having one or more shares transferred into its own name, or (ii)
coordinating its participation with its broker, bank or other nominee who is the
record holder to participate on its behalf. The Company in its sole and absolute
discretion may refuse to permit a broker, bank nominee or other record holder to
participate in the Plan.

         Stockholders who are not citizens or residents of the United States for
Federal income tax purposes and Stockholders owning, actually or constructively
(taking into account the constructive ownership provisions applicable to real
estate investment trusts under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") and taking into account shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to
the Plan or otherwise), Common Stock in an amount equal to or greater than 5% of
the outstanding Common Stock (the "Ownership Limit") will not be eligible to
participate in the Plan. To the extent consistent with the Sections 856 through
860 of the Code, and in accordance with the provisions of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as then in effect, the Company's Board of
Directors may waive the Ownership Limit for, and at the request of, certain
purchasers to allow participation in the Plan, except insofar as the Board of
Directors has already waived such ownership limit.

         The Plan is intended for the benefit of investors in the Company and
not for persons or entities who accumulate accounts under the Plan over which
they have control for the purpose of exceeding the $5,000 per calendar quarter
maximum (as described in Section V below) without seeking the advance approval
of the Company or who engage in transactions that cause or are designed to cause
aberrations in the price or trading volume of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Company reserves the right to exclude
from participation in the Plan, at any time, (i) persons or entities who attempt
to circumvent the Plan's standard $5,000 per calendar quarter maximum by
accumulating accounts over which they have control or (ii) any other persons or
entities, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company. For purposes of
this limitation, the Company reserves the right to aggregate all Cash Purchases
for Participants with more than one account using the same name, address or
social security or taxpayer identification number. For Participants unable to
supply a social security or taxpayer identification number, participation may be
limited by the Company to only one Participant's Account. Also, for the purpose
of such limitations, all Participant's Accounts that the Company believes to be
under common control or management or to have common ultimate beneficial
ownership may be aggregated. In the event the Company exercises its right to
aggregate investments and the result would be an investment in excess of $5,000
without an approved Request for Waiver, the Plan Administrator will return,
without interest, as promptly as practicable, any amount in excess of the
investment limitations.

IV.      PARTICIPATION OPTIONS

         The Authorization Form appoints the Plan Administrator as agent for the
Participant and directs the Company to pay to the Plan Administrator such
Participant's cash dividends on all or a specified number of shares of Common
Stock owned by the Participant ("Participating Shares"), as well as on all whole
and fractional shares of Common Stock credited to a Participant's Plan account
("Plan Shares"). The Authorization Form directs the Plan Administrator to
purchase on the Dividend Reinvestment Date additional shares of Common Stock
with such dividends. The Authorization Form also directs the Plan Administrator
to purchase on the relevant Cash Purchase Investment Date additional shares of
Common Stock with Cash Purchases of not more than $5,000 per calendar quarter,
if any, made by Participants. See "Cash Purchases---Waiver of Maximum Cash
Purchase Limitation" below for a discussion of the requirements for Cash
Purchases exceeding $5,000 per calendar quarter.

         The Authorization Form provides for the purchase of additional shares
of Common Stock through the following investment options:

         Full Dividend Reinvestment. The Plan Administrator will reinvest in
         --------------------------
additional shares of Common Stock all cash dividends paid on all shares of
Common Stock then or subsequently registered in a Participant's name and/or held
in its Plan account. Participants electing this option may also make optional
cash investments in shares of Common Stock and any dividends paid on such shares
will be reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock.

                                       2

<PAGE>

         Partial Dividend Reinvestment. The Plan Administrator will reinvest in
         -----------------------------
additional shares of Common Stock cash dividends paid on the percentage (from
10% to 90%, in increments of 10%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock
then or subsequently registered in a Participant's name and/or held in its Plan
account, including shares purchased through Optional Cash Purchases.

         Cash Purchases. The Plan Administrator will only apply optional cash
         --------------
investments for Cash Purchases received from the Participant toward the purchase
of additional shares of Common Stock. The Participant will continue to receive
cash dividends on shares of Common Stock registered in the Plan under the
Participant's name in the usual manner.

         Each Participant may select either one of the dividend reinvestment
options and/or the Cash Purchase option. Under each dividend reinvestment
option, dividends will be reinvested on all Participating Shares and on all Plan
Shares held in the Plan account until a Participant specifies otherwise by
contacting the Plan Administrator, or withdraws from the Plan altogether, or
until the Plan is terminated. If a Participant would prefer to receive cash
payments of dividends on Plan Shares rather than reinvest such dividends, those
shares must be withdrawn from the Plan by written notification to the Plan
Administrator. See "Termination of Participation" below. Participants may change
their investment options at any time by requesting a new Authorization Form and
returning it to the Plan Administrator.

         Participation in the Plan will begin upon receipt of a properly
completed Authorization Form (and, in cases of cash investments exceeding
$5,000, receipt and approval by the Company of a properly completed Request for
Wavier). The funds for a Cash Purchase may be submitted with the initial
Authorization Form. Thereafter, it will not be necessary to submit an additional
Authorization Form and Cash Purchases may be made monthly or periodically at the
election of the Participant. Once an Authorization Form has been submitted, it
is not necessary to submit one with subsequent Cash Purchases. See Section V for
more details on Cash Purchases and Dividend Reinvestments.

         With respect to the dividend reinvestment portion of the Plan, the
Authorization Form must be received by the Plan Administrator no later than the
record date established for a particular dividend in order for a Stockholder to
be eligible for reinvestment of such dividends under the Plan for that related
dividend; otherwise, reinvestment will begin on the Dividend Reinvestment Date
following the next record date. With respect to Cash Purchases in amounts less
than the $5,000 quarterly maximum, the Plan Administrator must receive the
Authorization Form and available funds at least one business day prior to the
commencement of the Pricing Period in order for a Participant's Cash Purchase to
be invested on the following Cash Purchase Investment Date, otherwise such
authorization will be effective as of, and the funds will be invested on, the
next Cash Purchase Investment Date thereafter. In addition, with respect to Cash
Purchases in amounts greater than the $5,000 quarterly maximum, the Company must
receive a Request for Waiver at least four business days prior to the
commencement of the Pricing Period. If the Authorization Form is received in the
period between any record date and the related Dividend Payment Date that
dividend will be paid in cash and your initial dividend reinvestment will begin
on the next Dividend Reinvestment Date.

V.       PURCHASE OF AND PRICE OF SHARES

         Dividend Reinvestment. The Plan Administrator will apply cash credited
         ---------------------
to the Participant's Account to the purchase of shares of Common Stock
(including fractional interests) and will credit the number of shares of Common
Stock so purchased to the Participant's Account. The Plan Administrator will
apply such funds toward the purchase of shares of Common Stock in the open
market or from authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock for the
Participant's Account.

     (1) Discount Rate on Dividend Reinvestments. The price of the authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock purchased by the Plan Administrator directly
from the Company pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends will be issued at the
Discount Rate to the then current Market Price for Dividend Reinvestments as of
the Dividend

                                       3

<PAGE>

Reinvestment Date. The Discount Rate is subject to change for future dividend
reinvestments, or complete discontinuance at the Company's discretion, without
prior notice to the Participants based on current market conditions, the level
of participation in the Plan and the Company's current and projected capital
needs. Participants may contact the Plan Administrator at (800) 468-9716 on or
after three business days prior to the record date for dividend reinvestments to
learn the applicable Discount Rate if the Company has determined to issue shares
of Common Stock to satisfy Plan purchases. The Discount Rate will only be in
effect for purchases of shares of Common Stock directly from the Company; the
Discount Rate will not be applied to purchases for the Participant's Account in
the open market or in privately negotiated transactions for investment periods
with respect to which a Discount Rate has not been made available to
Participants.

         (2) Price per Share for Reinvested Dividends. The Market Price for
Dividend Reinvestments per share of Common Stock acquired directly from the
Company shall be the average of the daily high and low sales prices, computed to
four decimal places, of the shares of Common Stock as reported on the NYSE
during the Pricing Period preceding the Dividend Reinvestment Date. If
publication of the sales price of the Common Stock on any Dividend Reinvestment
Date does not take place or contains a reporting error, the Market Price for
Dividend Reinvestments purchased from the Company shall be determined by the
Plan Administrator or the Company on the basis of such market quotation as they
deem appropriate. No shares of Common Stock will be purchased from the Company
under the Plan at less than par value ($.01 per share of Common Stock). In
addition, no shares of Common Stock will be purchased from the Company at a
price which reflects a greater than 5% discount from the fair market value of
such shares on the date of purchase. If the Company elects to purchase the
shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, the price per
share of Common Stock acquired through such open market or privately negotiated
transactions will be the weighted average of the actual prices paid, computed to
four decimal places, for all of the shares of Common Stock purchased by the Plan
Administrator during that month in connection with such open market purchases,
without application of the Discount Rate. The Plan Administrator shall pay
brokerage commissions at prevailing rates. Such commissions will be reimbursed
by the Company, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay
commissions in excess of 5% of the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock.
Any commissions in excess of 5% will be paid by the Participants on a pro rata
basis. Such open market purchases may be made, at the Plan Administrator's
option, on any securities exchange where the shares of Common Stock are traded,
in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions with third persons,
and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as the Plan
Administrator may determine.

         (3) Dividend Reinvestment Date. The date for the reinvestment of
dividends (the "Dividend Reinvestment Date") generally will be on or within
thirty days after the Dividend Payment Date except where reinvestment of such
funds at a later date is necessary or advisable under applicable securities
laws. Under normal market conditions, the funds are expected to be reinvested on
the Dividend Payment Date.

     Cash Purchases. A Stockholder may also make Optional Cash Purchases of
     --------------
shares of Common Stock, subject to a minimum of $250 per purchase and a maximum
of $5,000 per calendar quarter (except in cases covered by a Request for Waiver
as discussed below). For purposes of these limitations on Cash Purchases, all
Plan accounts under the common control or management of a Participant may be
aggregated at the Company's sole discretion.

         (1) Discount Rate on Cash Purchases. The price of the authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock purchased by the Plan Administrator directly
from the Company for Cash Purchases not in excess of the $5,000 per calendar
quarter maximum will be issued at the Discount Rate to the then current Market
Price for Cash Purchases as of the Cash Purchase Investment Date. The Discount
Rate is subject to change for future investment periods, or complete
discontinuance at the Company's discretion, without prior notice to the
Participants after a review of current market conditions, the level of
participation in the Plan and the Company's current and projected capital needs.
Participants may contact the Plan Administrator at (800) 468-9716 on or after
three business days prior to the first day of the applicable Pricing Period to
learn the applicable Discount Rate if the Company has determined to issue share
of Common Stock to satisfy Plan purchases. The Discount Rate will only be in
effect for purchases of shares of Common Stock directly from the Company; the
Discount Rate will not be applied to

                                       4

<PAGE>

purchases for the Participant's Account in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions for investment periods with respect to which a Discount
Rate has not been made available to Participants.

         (2) Price per Share for Cash Purchases. The "Market Price for Cash
Purchases" per share shall be the average of the daily high and low sales
prices, computed to four decimal places, of the shares of Common Stock as
reported on the NYSE during the Pricing Period prior to the related Cash
Purchase Investment Date; provided, however, that the Market Price for Cash
Purchases shall not be less than a price which reflects a 5% discount from the
fair market value of such shares on the date of purchase. If publication of the
sales price of the Common Stock on the Cash Purchase Investment Date does not
take place or contains a pricing error, the Market Price for Cash Purchases
purchased from the Company shall be determined by the Plan Administrator or the
Company on the basis of such market quotation as they deem appropriate. No
shares of Common Stock will be purchased from the Company under the Plan at less
than par value ($.01 per share of Common Stock). No commission shall be paid
with respect to purchases of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
directly from the Company. If the Company elects to purchase the shares on the
open market or in privately negotiated transactions, the price per share of
Common Stock acquired through such open market or privately negotiated
transactions will be the weighted average of the actual prices paid, computed to
four decimal places, for all of the shares of Common Stock purchased by the Plan
Administrator during that month in connection with such open market purchases,
without application of the Discount Rate. The Plan Administrator shall pay
brokerage commissions at prevailing rates. Such commissions will be reimbursed
by the Company, but in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay
commissions in excess of 5% of the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock.
Any commissions in excess of 5% will be paid by the Participants on a pro rata
basis. Such open market purchases may be made, at the Plan Administrator's
option, on any securities exchange where the shares of Common Stock are traded,
in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions with third persons,
and may be on such terms as to price, delivery, and otherwise as the Plan
Administrator may determine.

         (3) Waiver of Maximum Cash Purchase Limitation. Cash Purchases in
excess of $5,000 per calendar quarter may be made only upon acceptance in
writing by the Company of a completed written request for waiver form from the
Participant ("Request for Waiver"). A Request for Waiver must be received by the
Company at its corporate address no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the fourth business day preceding the first day of the relevant Pricing Period.
Request for Waiver forms may be obtained from the Plan Administrator by
telephone at (800) 468-9716. The Company may establish a discount rate different
than the Discount Rate, ranging from 0% to 5% (the "Waiver Discount"),
applicable shares purchased from the Company for Cash Purchases exceeding $5,000
per calendar quarter and approved by the Company pursuant to a Request for
Waiver. Participants may contact the Plan Administrator at (800) 468-9716 on or
after three business days prior to the first day of the relevant Pricing Period
to learn the applicable Waiver Discount if the Company has determined to issue
shares of Common Stock to satisfy Plan purchases. It is solely within the
Company's discretion as to whether any such approval for cash investments in
excess of $5,000 per calendar quarter will be granted. In deciding whether to
approve a Request for Waiver, the Company may consider factors determined by it
to be relevant including, but not limited to: whether the Plan is then acquiring
newly issued or treasury shares directly from the Company or acquiring shares
from third parties in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions;
the Company's need for additional funds; the attractiveness of obtaining such
additional funds through the sale of Common Stock as compared to other sources
of funds; the purchase price likely to apply to any sale of Common Stock under
the Plan; the Participant submitting the request; the extent and nature of such
Participant's prior participation in the Plan; the number of shares of Common
Stock held by such Participant and the aggregate amount of cash investments for
which Requests for Waiver have been submitted by all Participants. If such
requests are submitted for any Cash Purchase Investment Date for an aggregate
amount in excess of the amount the Company is then willing to accept, the
Company may honor such requests in order of receipt, pro rata or by any other
method that the Company determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate. The
Company anticipates that it will respond to each Request for Waiver by the close
of business (7:00 p.m., New York City time) on the second business day preceding
the first day of the relevant Pricing Period. Any Request for Waiver accepted by
the Company will be

                                       5

<PAGE>

subject to all the terms and conditions otherwise applicable to Cash Purchases,
except as otherwise provided in this Section.

     (4) Cash Purchase Investment Date. The Cash Purchase Investment Date for
Cash Purchases will occur on or about the third from the last business day of
each month, or in the case of purchases in the open market, no later than the
last business day of each month.

     (5) Timing and Procedure for Cash Purchases. Each month the Plan
Administrator will apply a Cash Purchase for which available funds are timely
received to the purchase of shares of Common Stock for the account of the
Participant on the next Cash Purchase Investment Date. In order for funds to be
invested on the next Cash Purchase Investment Date, the Plan Administrator must
have received the following in a timely fashion: (i) the Authorization Form (if
the person is not yet enrolled as a Participant) at least one business day
before the commencement of the Pricing Period; (ii) a Request for Waiver
executed by the Company (if applicable) no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City
time, two business days before the commencement of the next Pricing Period; and
(iii) a check or money order no later than one business day prior to the
commencement of the related Pricing Period (the "Cash Purchase Due Date"),
unless funds are being transmitted by electronic funds transfer as provided
below. The Company may, in its sole discretion, accept such funds after the Cash
Purchase Due Date in cases of unanticipated delay or inadvertence by the
Participant. Such check, money order or electronic funds transfer must have
cleared before the related Cash Purchase Investment Date. Checks and money
orders are accepted subject to timely collection as available funds and
verification of compliance with the terms of the Plan. Checks or money orders
should be made payable to "Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.--American Land
Lease, Inc." Checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank payable in U.S. funds or they
will be returned to the Participant. In addition, the Plan Administrator will
not accept third party checks and will return them to the Participant. Checks
returned for any reason will not be resubmitted for collection. Participants
will be charged the Plan Administrator's prevailing fees for dishonored checks
and failed electronic fund transfers due to insufficient funds. The Plan
Administrator will apply Cash Purchases that it receives after one business day
prior to the commencement of the Pricing Period for the following Cash Purchase
Investment Date towards the next Cash Purchase Investment Date thereafter.
Specific instructions for electronic funds transfers can be obtained by
telephoning the Plan Administrator at (800) 468-9716. Participants' bank
accounts are debited on the twentieth day of each month or, if the twentieth day
of the month is not a business day, the business day next following the
twentieth day of the month. Participants do not receive any confirmation of the
transfer of funds other than as reflected in their monthly Plan account
statements and in their bank account statements. To authorize electronic funds
transfers, a Participant must complete and sign the Automatic Cash Withdrawal
and Investment Card, which can be obtained by telephoning the Plan Administrator
at (800) 468-9716, and return it to the Plan Administrator together with a
voided blank check or deposit slip for the account from which funds are to be
transferred. A Participant's automatic funds transfers will begin as soon as
practicable after the Plan Administrator receives the Automatic Cash Withdrawal
and Investment Card. A Participant may change the amount of its monthly transfer
or terminate its monthly transfer altogether by contacting the Plan
Administrator in writing. To be effective with respect to a particular Cash
Purchase Investment Date, a Participant's change or termination request must be
received by the Plan Administrator by the fourth day of the month.

     Upon a Participant's written request received by the Plan Administrator no
later than two business days prior to the first day of the relevant Pricing
Period, a timely optional Cash Purchase not already invested under the Plan will
be canceled or returned to the Participant as soon as practicable. In making
purchases for the Participant's Account, the Plan Administrator may commingle
the Participant's funds with those of other Participants in the Plan. No
interest will be paid on funds held by the Plan Administrator pending investment
or return to the Participant. Funds for Cash Purchases do not constitute
deposits or savings accounts and are not insured by any governmental agency or
instrumentality.

VI.      RETURNED CHECKS OR FUNDS TRANSFER POLICY

         The Plan Administrator reserves the right to debit additional shares of
Common Stock from a Participant's Account if the sale of the shares purchased is
not sufficient to cover the returned check amount and associated fees.

VII.     BROKERAGE

         All purchases and sales of Common Stock on the open market will be
executed through Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A.

                                       6

<PAGE>

VIII.    VOTING OF SHARES HELD UNDER THE PLAN

         Each Participant will be able to vote all shares of Common Stock
(including fractional shares) credited to the Participant's Account. The Plan
Administrator will not vote shares of Common Stock that it holds for a
Participant's Account except as directed by the Participant. All shares of
Common Stock in the Participant's Account will be added to the shares of Common
Stock registered in the Participant's name on the stockholder records of the
Company, if any, and the Participant will receive one proxy for all such shares
of Common Stock which proxy will be voted as the Participant directs or the
Participant may vote all shares of Common Stock in person at the stockholders'
meeting.

IX.      CERTIFICATES

         Shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan are registered in the
name of a nominee and shown on each Participant's Account Statement. However, a
Participant may request a certificate for any of the whole shares of Common
Stock which have accumulated in such Participant's Account by writing a letter
of instruction to the Plan Administrator. Each certificate issued will be
registered in the name or names in which the account is maintained, unless
otherwise instructed in writing. If the certificate is to be issued in a name
other than the name on the Participant's Account, the Participant or
Participants must have his or her signature(s) guaranteed by a commercial bank
or a broker that is a member of the medallion signature guarantee program.
Certificates for fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued in any
case. Dividends will continue to be paid on the cumulative holdings of both full
and fractional shares of Common Stock remaining in the Participant's Account and
will automatically be reinvested until such time as the shares of Common Stock
are sold or otherwise transferred or until the Participant terminates
participation in the Plan. A book-to-book transfer involves transferring shares
from an existing Participant's Account in the Plan to a new Participant's
Account. Book-to-book transfers will be permitted if all proper transfer
requirements are satisfied. All shares in that new Participant's Account will be
coded for reinvestment unless the Plan Administrator is notified otherwise. For
more information on book-to-book transfers, telephone the Plan Administrator
at(800) 468-9716.

         Participants who wish to do so may deposit currently held certificates
registered in their names with the Plan Administrator for credit under the Plan.
There is no charge for such deposits, and by making such deposit the Participant
will be relieved of the responsibility for loss, theft or destruction of the
certificate.

         Shares of Common Stock credited to a Participant's Account may not be
pledged or assigned, and any attempted pledge or assignment is void. A
Participant who wishes to pledge or assign shares of Common Stock credited to
the Participant's Account must first withdraw such shares of Common Stock from
such Participant's Account.

X.       TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION

         A Participant may terminate participation in the Plan at any time by
notifying the Plan Administrator in writing. Unless the termination notice is
received by the Plan Administrator at least two business days prior to any
Dividend Reinvestment Date or Cash Purchase Investment Date, it cannot be
processed until after purchases made from the dividends paid or Cash Purchases
submitted have been completed and credited to the Participant's Account. All
dividends with a record date after timely receipt of notice for termination will
be sent directly to the Participant. The Plan Administrator may terminate the
Participant's Account by notice in writing mailed to the Participant. Any full
or fractional interests in shares of Common Stock may be aggregated and sold
with the other terminating Participants. The proceeds to each Participant, in
each case, will be the average sales price per share of all shares so aggregated
and sold multiplied by the number of full or fractional shares of Common Stock
sold by the Participant, less the Participant's pro rata share of any brokerage
commissions and other costs of sale. Once termination has been effected, the
Plan Administrator will issue to the Participant, without charge, certificates
for the full shares of Common Stock held in the Participant's Account or, if so
requested, sell the full shares of Common Stock held under the Plan,

                                       7

<PAGE>

deduct brokerage commissions transfer taxes and deliver the proceeds to the
Participant. The value of the Participant's interest in any fractional share of
Common Stock held in his account at termination will be paid by check, less the
Participant's share of any related expenses. A Participant will also be entitled
to the uninvested portion of any funds received for Optional Cash Purchases if
notice of termination is received prior to the date when the Plan Administrator
becomes obligated to pay for purchased shares of Common Stock.

         If a Participant disposes of all shares of Common Stock represented by
certificates registered in his own name on the books of the Company but does not
give notice of termination under the Plan, the Plan Administrator may continue
to reinvest the dividends on the shares of Common Stock under the Plan until
otherwise directed.

         A Participant who changes his or her address must notify the Plan
Administrator immediately. If a Participant changes residences to a state where
the shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to the Plan are not registered or
exempt from registration under applicable securities laws, the Company may deem
the Participant to have terminated participation in the Plan.

XI.      STOCK DIVIDENDS, STOCK SPLITS AND STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS OFFERINGS

         Any stock dividends or stock splits distributed by the Company on
shares of Common Stock held by the Plan Administrator for the Participant will

Common Stock are purchased or sold for the Participant's Account and the times
such purchases or sales are made and (3) with respect to any loss or fluctuation
in the market value of the Common Stock.

         All notices from the Plan Administrator to a Participant will be mailed
to the Participant's last address of record, which will satisfy the Plan
Administrator's responsibility to give notice.

XIII.    TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Plan in
whole or part at any time. Notice will be sent to Participants of any suspension
