(5) is absent from more than half of the regularly scheduled board meetings that the director is eligible to attend during a calendar year without an excuse approved by a majority vote of the board.
(b) The validity of an action of the board of directors is not affected by the fact that it is taken when a ground for removal of a director exists.
