(1) personally; or
(2) by an attorney-in-fact.

(d) An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the member.
(e) The death or incapacity of the member appointing a proxy does not affect the right of the corporation to accept the proxy's authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises the proxy's authority under the appointment.
(f) Subject to section 8 of this chapter and to any express limitation on the proxy's authority appearing on the face of the appointment form, a corporation may accept the proxy's vote or other action as that of the member making the appointment.
