(B) The directors shall remove any director and thereby create a vacancy on the board:

(1) If, by order of court, he is found to be of unsound mind, or if he is convicted of a felony or any criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust;

(2) If the board of directors, by a two-thirds majority at any meeting called for that expressly stated purpose, declares the office of a director to be vacant because such director has failed to live up to the standards specified for directors in the law, the articles, or regulations, or who otherwise fails to perform any of the duties required of him as a director.

(C) Any or all directors may be removed with or without cause by a majority vote of the voting members at any meeting of members called for that expressly stated purpose, and at such meeting the members may fill any vacancy created by a removal under this division.
