(b) A shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder by signing an appointment form, either personally or by the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact.

     (d) An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that the appointment form is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest. Appointments coupled with an interest include the appointment of the following:

(1) A pledgee.

(2) A person who purchased or agreed to purchase the shares.

(3) A creditor of the corporation who extended the corporation credit under terms requiring the appointment.

(4) An employee of the corporation whose employment contract requires the appointment.

(5) A party to a voting agreement created under IC 28-13-7-2.

     (e) The death or incapacity of the shareholder 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) An appointment made irrevocable under subsection (d) is revoked when the interest with which it is coupled is extinguished.

     (g) A transferee for value of shares subject to an irrevocable appointment may revoke the appointment if:

(1) the transferee did not know of the appointment’s existence when the transferee acquired the shares; and

(2) the existence of the irrevocable appointment was not noted conspicuously on the certificate representing the shares or on the information statement for shares without certificates.

     (h) Subject to section 5 of this chapter and to any express limitation on the proxy’s authority appearing on the face of the appointment form, a corporation is entitled to accept the proxy’s vote or other action as that of the shareholder making the appointment.
