(a)For purposes of Section 316 of the Corporations Code, the making of a loan or guarantee by a bank or any other extending of credit by a bank contrary to any provision of this division shall be deemed to be contrary to Section 315 of the Corporations Code.
(b)The commissioner may, in the name of the people of this state, bring or intervene in an action under Section 316 of the Corporations Code for the benefit of a bank against any or all of the directors of the bank on account of the making of a loan or guarantee or any other extending of credit contrary to any provision of this division, to the same extent as a creditor of the bank who did not consent to the illegal making of the loan or guarantee or the other illegal extending of credit and who had a valid claim against the bank which arose prior to the time of the illegal making of the loan or guarantee or the other illegal extending of credit and which exceeded the amount of loss suffered by the bank as a result of the illegal making of the loan or guarantee or the other illegal extending of credit, might bring the action in the name of the bank.
