21    reduction  in  the  amount  of  the  unimpaired  capital   or
22    unimpaired  surplus  of the State bank.  Nothing contained in
23    this Section shall be construed  to  limit  in  any  way  the

28    two-thirds of the outstanding shares  of  stock  of  a  State
29    bank, such vote occurring at any annual or special meeting of

 5             (1)  An act or omission that is grossly negligent.
 6             (2)  A  breach  of the director's duty of loyalty to
 7        the bank or its shareholders.
 8             (3)  Acts or omissions not in  good  faith  or  that
 9        involve  intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
10        law.
11             (4)  A transaction from which the  director  derived
12        an improper personal benefit.
13             (5)  An   act   or  omission  occurring  before  the
14        effective date of the provision in the charter authorized
15        by this subsection.
