(b) Exceptions.--Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the articles or bylaws: (1) In the case of any meeting called for the election of directors those who attend the second of such adjourned meetings, although less than a quorum as fixed in this section, or in the articles or bylaws, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of election of directors. (2) In the case of any meeting called for any other purpose those who attend the second of such adjourned meetings, although less than a quorum as fixed in this section, or in the articles or bylaws, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting upon any resolution or other matter set forth in the notice of the meeting, if written notice of such second adjourned meeting, stating that those members who attend shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting upon such resolution or other matter, is given to each member of record entitled to vote at such second adjourned meeting at least ten days prior to the day named for the second adjourned meeting.
