(3) A right of indemnification or to advancement of expenses under a provision of the articles of incorporation or the bylaws is not eliminated or impaired by an amendment to the provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the formal or informal, administrative or investigative action, suit, or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought unless the provision in effect at the time of the act or omission explicitly authorizes that elimination or impairment after the action or omission has occurred.
