(i)  A majority of the fixed number of directors if the corporation has a fixed board size; or
(ii)  A majority of the number of directors prescribed, or if no number is prescribed the number in office immediately before the meeting begins, if the corporation has a variable-range size board.
(b)  The articles of incorporation or bylaws may authorize a quorum of a board of directors to consist of no fewer than one-third (1/3) of the fixed or prescribed number of directors determined under subsection (a) of this section.
(c)  If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of directors present is the act of the board of directors unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws require the vote of a greater number of directors.

A director who is present at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless:
(i)  The director objects at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon his arrival to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting;
(ii)  The director's dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or
(iii)  The director delivers written notice of his dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting.
