Default Three tables combine intw two in MTT, where should the button be?

One of three tables of a MTT is broken up and the players from that table fill up the open seats at the other two tables. I'm at one of those tables and the hand before the break up the situation was as follows:

Seat 1: occupied
Seat 2: occupied, has the button
Seat 3: occupied, posted small blind
Seat 4: empty
Seat 5: empty
Seat 6: occupied, posted the big blind
Seat 7: occupied
Seat 8: occupied
Seat 9: empty
Seat 10: occupied

In this hand, seat 3 goes broke, so there are 4 open seats which all get filled by players from another table.

If seat 3 hadn't gone broke, he would have gotten the button, seat 6 would post the sb, seat 7 the bb, seat 4 and 5 would have to wait till the button passes and seat 9 would be dealt in, right?

What is the correct position of the button now that seat 3 busted and who gets to play?

here's what we do at our weekly tourneys. It saves problems.

Everytime we break a table, we re-button.

Dead button in Seat 3. Seats 3, 4, and 5 sit out this hand.

Nothing changes...IF you come in ON or infront of the button, you wait 1 hand for the button to completly pass. then play resumes normally. There is no reason to rebutton if the TD knows what he/she is doing.

Technically, seat #3 is allowed to "assume the button". But seats #4 and 5 still must sit out for a hand.

At my casino the button stays in seat two. The new players in seats 3-5 sit out one hand.

The button remaining in Seat 2 is the same as a dead button.

I really don't like the idea of redrawing for the button when new players join a table. If everybody's redrawing for the final table or something, fine, but not when a table breaks and joins existing tables.
