Any shareholder eligible to vote may vote by proxy authorized in writing. An appointment of a proxy shall expire in accordance with division (C) of section 1701.48 of the Revised Code. Unless the articles of incorporation, the code of regulations, or the contract of subscription otherwise provides, a subscriber for authorized shares is a shareholder for the purposes of this section, but no shares upon which an installment of the purchase price is overdue and unpaid shall be voted.
