exact cofiltered limits

In a category $\C$, which we assume to have cofiltered limits and finite colimits, we say that cofiltered limits are exact if the following equivalent conditions are satisfied:

1. For every finite category $\I$ the functor $\colim : [\I, \C] \to \C$ preserves cofiltered limits.
2. For every small cofiltered category $\J$ the functor $\lim : [\J,\C] \to \C$ preserves finite colimits.
3. For every diagram $X : \I \times \J \to \C$, where $\I$ is finite and $\J$ is small cofiltered, the canonical morphism $\colim_i \lim_j X(i,j) \to \lim_j \colim_i X(i,j)$ is an isomorphism.
