A. Unless there is a written loan agreement to the contrary, a
museum may apply conservation measures to or dispose of property on
loan to the museum without a lender's permission if immediate action
is required to protect the property on loan or to protect other
property in the custody of the museum, or the property on loan has
become a hazard to the health and safety of the public or of the
museum's staff, and:
1. The museum cannot reach the lender at the lender's last
address of record so that the museum and the lender can promptly
agree on a solution; or

museum recommends, yet is unwilling or unable to terminate the loan

property under subsection A of this section, the museum:
