(c) An officer's conflicting interest transaction may not be enjoined, set aside, or give rise to an award of damages or other sanctions, in an action by a member or by or in the right of the corporation, on the ground of an interest in the transaction of the officer or any person with whom or which he or she has a personal, economic, or other association, if:
(1) The transaction was approved by the board of directors after required disclosure;
(2) The transaction was approved by the members after required disclosure;
(3) The action was approved by the superior court in an action to which the Attorney General was a party; or
