Sec. 553.
A director who is present at a meeting of the board, or a committee thereof of which he is a member, at which action on a corporate matter referred to in section 551 is taken is presumed to have concurred in that action unless his dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he files his written dissent to the action with the person acting as secretary of the meeting before or promptly after the adjournment thereof.
