A  power of attorney which satisfies the requirements of paragraphs (a),   (b) and (c) of subdivision one of section 5-1501B and section 5-1513  of   this  title is not prevented from being a "statutory short form power of   attorney", by the fact that it also contains additional language at  the   section labeled "modifications" which:1.  Eliminates  from the statutory short form power of attorney one or   more of the powers enumerated in  one  or  more  of  the  constructional   sections  of  this  title with respect to a subdivision of the statutory   short form power of attorney, affirmatively chosen by the principal; or2.

(d) the agent does not have, at the time of  the  transaction,  actual notice  that  the  power  of  attorney has been modified in any way that would affect the ability of the agent to engage in the  transaction,  or notice  of  any  facts indicating that the power of attorney has been so modified.   3.

However,  if  prompt  action  is required to accomplish a purpose of the   power of attorney and to avoid irreparable  injury  to  the  principal's   interest  and  a  co-agent is unavailable because of absence, illness or   other temporary incapacity, the other co-agent or co-agents may act  for   the  principal.
