Committees

Section 7.1. Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of
the whole Board of Directors, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one
or more of the directors of the Co-op. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors
as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any

member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not
he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors
to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the
extent permitted by law and to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall
have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of
the business and affairs of the Co-op, and may authorize the seal of the Co-op to be affixed to all
papers which may require it. In addition, the Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a
majority of the whole Board of Directors, designate one or more ad hoc committees and may in its
discretion designate directors or individuals who are not directors or both as members of any ad hoc
committee. Any such ad hoc committee shall report to the Board of Directors.

Section 7.2. Committee Rules. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, each
committee designated by the Board of Directors may make, alter and repeal rules for the conduct of
its business. In the absence of such rules each committee shall conduct its business in the same
manner as the Board of Directors conducts its business pursuant to these bylaws.

any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed
upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such
certificate is issued, such certificate may be issued by the Co-op with the same effect as if he were
