A director of a corporation who is present at a meeting of its board, or any committee thereof of which he is a member, at which action on any corporate matter referred to in section 14A:6-12 is taken shall be presumed to have concurred in the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before or promptly after the adjournment thereof.
