<PAGE>   10


     (a) The Corporation reserves the right to refuse to transfer any shares on
its records unless and until it receives a satisfactory opinion letter from an
attorney for the transferee of such shares that such transfer will not violate
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Regulations thereunder, the Ohio
Securities Act or the Regulations thereunder, or any other applicable law or
regulations.

     (b) It is the policy of the Corporation that so far as practicable the
holders of is shares shall be persons actively interested in the business of
the Corporation.  In furtherance of such policy, transfers of all shares of the
Corporation are subject to the following restrictions, under which the
Corporation, in the events and on the terms herein specified, shall have an
irrevocable option to purchase such shares (which right of purchase includes in
each case, without specification thereof, the right to nominate a purchaser or
purchasers of any or all of such shares), all of which restrictions shall be
binding on the shares and the holders thereof from time to time.

     (1) No holder of shares shall sell, assign, give, transfer, exchange or
otherwise dispose of any shares unless he shall first send by registered mail,
addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office, written
notice of his intention so to do and stating the number of shares to be
disposed of and the name and address of the proposed transferee.  Thereupon,
during the 120-day period from the date of receiving such notice, the
Corporation shall have an irrevocable option to purchase, at the price and on
the terms hereinafter set forth, any or all of the shares which are the subject
of said notice.

     (2) In the event of appointment of a guardian pursuant to legal
adjudication of mental incompetency or appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy,
of any holder of shares, or the sale of any shares upon execution, or in
judicial proceedings, or pursuant to foreclosure of a pledge thereof, or any
transfer of shares by operation of law, then during the 120-day period from the
date of such event, or, in the event of death of a holder of shares, then
during the 120-day period from the date of appointment of his executor or
administrator, the Corporation shall have an irrevocable option to purchase, at
the price and on the terms hereinafter set forth, any or all of such shares.

     (3) With respect to any particular option to purchase shares, the Board of
Directors shall have the power to determine, at any time during the applicable
option period, that the Corporation will not exercise said option with respect
to any or all of the shares involved, in which case it shall give notice to
that effect in writing to the holder of such shares (such notice to address as
it appears in the records of the Corporation).  Upon giving of such notice, or
upon the expiration of the applicable option period, whichever shall first
occur, said shares shall be released from that particular option, and any or
all of said shares may be sold or otherwise transferred free from that
particular option, but only within a period of one year from and after the



                                      -10-


<PAGE>   11



giving of such notice or the expiration of such applicable option period, as
the case may be; except that in the case of an option arising under (1) above,
such sale or transfer may be made only to the particular transferee named in
the notice provided for in the said subparagraph.  Upon such sale or transfer
in accordance herewith (or at the end of such one-year period as to any shares
not sold or transferred), such shares shall again become subject to the option
provisions set forth in this section.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, the occurrence, during any option period or during any such
one-year period, of any other event specified in this section as an event
giving rise to an option, shall give rise to a new option in accordance
herewith.

     (4) Upon the exercise of any option hereinabove provided for, the purchase
price of the shares involved shall be paid by the purchaser upon such
reasonable terms and at such times as the parties shall determine; provided,
that, if the parties do not otherwise agree, such purchase shall be made for
cash at the principal office of the Corporation at such time and on such date
prior to the expiration of the option period  as shall be fixed in a written
notice from the purchaser to the holder of the shares stating that the option
is being exercised and the number of shares to be purchased.  Such notice shall
be accompanied by a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation authorizing the exercise of said option on behalf of the
Corporation or nominating a purchase or purchasers of such shares.  At the time
and place specified in such notice, the holder of the shares involved shall
surrender the certificate therefor to the purchasers, duly endorsed.  From and
after the date so specified, unless the purchaser shall be in default in
respect of payment of the purchase price upon surrender of such certificate,
all rights of the holder of such shares by reason of the ownership thereof
shall cease and such holder shall have no interest in or claim against the
Corporation with respect to said shares except only the right to receive from
the purchaser the purchase price thereof upon surrender of the certificate
therefor.

     (5) For the purpose of the option rights hereinabove provided for, the
option price to be paid for the shares involved shall be the book value
thereof, determined as of the end of the month preceding the month in which the
120-day option period in question begins.  Book value shall be determined in
accordance with, and shall have the meaning given to it under generally
accepted accounting practice but shall, in any event, be determined in a manner
consistent with the method employed by the Corporation in keeping its books and
accounts, excluding from assets any value for goodwill or other like
Intangibles.  In the event of dispute, the book values determined by the
Corporation's independent auditors and certified in writing to the Corporation
and to the holder of the shares involved shall be final and binding upon all
persons concerned.

     (6) The Corporation shall decline to make any transfer of shares on its
records and until there shall have been compliance with the foregoing
applicable requirements.
