2.1 Transfer. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant and all
rights under it are transferable by the Registered Owner only on the books of
the Company upon surrender hereof to the Company and must be conducted in
compliance with the requirements of Regulation S adopted under the Act as then
in effect.
2.2 Recognition of Registered Owner. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of this Warrant, the Company shall treat the Registered
Owner of this Warrant as its absolute owner for all purposes, as the person
exclusively entitled to receive notices concerning this Warrant, and as the
person otherwise entitled to exercise rights under this Warrant.

Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Registered Owner the right to
vote or to receive dividends or to consent to or receive notice as a stockholder
in respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors or upon
any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or
withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon recapitalization, issue
or reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par
value, consolidation, merger or conveyance or otherwise), or to receive notice

issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor and date as the Warrant lost,

ARTICLE III
Terms of Exercise
3.1 Manner of Exercise Requirements. In order to validly exercise this
Warrant, the Registered Owner must comply with the following Manner of Exercise
Requirements:
(a) the Registered Owner must be outside of the United States of
America upon the exercise of the Warrant, the tender of the Exercise Price, the
surrender of the Warrant, and the receipt of the Common Stock; and
(b) the Registered Owner must provide either:
i) written certification that it is not a "U.S. person" as
defined in Section 902(o) of Regulation S and that this Warrant is not being
exercised on behalf of a "U.S. person;" or
ii) the written opinion of counsel to the effect that this
Warrant and the Common Stock delivered upon exercise hereof have been registered
under the Act or are exempt from registration thereunder.
3.2 Partial Exercise. If this Warrant is exercised at one time for less
than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise
hereof, the Company shall issue to the Registered Owner of this Warrant a new
warrant of like tenor representing the number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the difference between the number of shares purchasable upon full exercise of
this Warrant and the number of shares that were purchased upon the exercise of
this Warrant.
3.3 Effect of Corporate Transactions. The Exercise Price and number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant as set forth
in Section 1.2 shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
happening of the following events while this Warrant remains outstanding:
(a) If, at any time during the Exercise Period, there shall
be a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or
the liquidation of the
13
4
Company, then, as part of such merger, consolidation or liquidation, lawful
provision shall be made so that the Registered Owner shall thereafter be
entitled to receive on the exercise of this Warrant the number of shares of
stock, other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor
corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, to which the Registered
Owner would have been entitled on such merger, consolidation or liquidation as
if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such merger, consolidation
or liquidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good
faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of
the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interest of the
Registered Owner after the merger, consolidation or liquidation so that the
provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after such event, as near as
reasonably may be, in relation to any shares, other securities or property
deliverable after such event on the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) In case at any time during the Exercise Period, the
shareholders of the Company shall have received or shall have become entitled to
receive, without payment therefor:
(i) additional stock, other securities or property (other
than cash) by way of dividend,
(ii) any cash (excluding cash dividends payable solely out
of earnings or surplus of the Company), or
(iii) additional stock, other securities or property
(including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up,
reclassification, recapitalization, combination of
shares or similar corporate rearrangement;
other than as provided for in Section 3.3(a) or other than additional shares of
Common Stock issued as a stock dividend or in a stock-split as provided for in
Section 3.3(c), then, and in each such case, the Exercise Price shall be reduced
by the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors) of the portion of such stock, securities and property (including
cash) applicable to one share of Common Stock on the record date fixed for
determination of shareholders eligible to receive such items or, in the absence
of a record date, the date of distribution of such items.
(c) In case the Company shall at any time during the Exercise
Period (i) declare or pay any dividend on outstanding shares of Common Stock
payable in Common Stock of the Company, (ii) effect a subdivision of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by
payment of a dividend of its Common Stock) or (iii) combine or consolidate the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, by reclassification or otherwise, then, and in each such case, the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of
the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the
number of such shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant on such date,
shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Registered Owner shall be entitled
to receive the aggregate number of shares
14
5
of Common Stock which, if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to
such date at this Warrant then in effect, the Registered Owner would have owned
upon the exercise and been entitled to receive upon such dividend, subdivision,
combination or reclassification.
3.3 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be
issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant hereunder but in lieu of
such fractional shares, the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the
basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
3.4 Reservation of shares of Common Stock. The Company covenants that
it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of this
Warrant, through the close of business on the last day of the Exercise Period
such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the
exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Company covenants and agrees that all
shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the purchase and the
issuance of the shares.
ARTICLE IV

accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio (U.S.A.) without any reference to
