Sec. 9. (a) Unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, the board of directors of a corporation may adopt bylaws to be effective only in an emergency under subsection (d). Emergency bylaws may make all provisions necessary for managing the corporation during an emergency, including the following:
(1) Procedures for calling a meeting of the board of directors.
(2) Quorum requirements for the meeting.
(3) Designation of additional or substitute directors.
(b) Provisions of regular bylaws consistent with emergency bylaws remain effective during the emergency. Emergency bylaws are not effective after the emergency ends.
(c) Corporate action taken in good faith in accordance with the emergency bylaws:
(1) binds the corporation; and
(2) may not be used to impose liability on a corporate director, officer, employee, or agent.
(d) An emergency exists for purposes of this section if an extraordinary event prevents a quorum of a corporation's directors from assembling in time to deal with the business for which the meeting has been or is to be called.
