2. The board of directors, either before or during any such emergency, may provide, and from time to time modify, lines of succession in the event that during such an emergency any or all officers or agents of the corporation shall for any reason be rendered incapable of discharging their duties.
3. The board of directors, either before or during any such emergency, may, effective in the emergency, change the office or designate several alternative officers, or authorize the officers so to do.
4. No officer, director, or employee acting in accordance with any emergency bylaws shall be liable except for willful misconduct.
5. To the extent not inconsistent with any emergency bylaws so adopted, the bylaws of the bank or trust company shall remain in effect during any emergency and upon its termination the emergency bylaws shall cease to be operative.
6. Unless otherwise provided in emergency bylaws, notice of any meeting of the board of directors during such an emergency may be given only to such of the directors as it may be feasible to reach at the time and by such means as may be feasible at the time, including publication or radio.
7. To the extent required to constitute a quorum at any meeting of the board of directors during such an emergency, the officers of the bank or trust company who are present shall, unless otherwise provided in emergency bylaws, be deemed, in order of rank and within the same rank in order of seniority, directors for such meeting.
