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:

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.
