Unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, as the same may be amended from time to time, members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment through which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 7 of this Article III shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the entire Board of Directors, designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist of two (2) or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of any such committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, and in the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors of an alternate member to replace the absent or disqualified member, the 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 the place of any absent or disqualified member.
