(g) Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or
29
omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

(i) Applicability. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to all actions, suits or proceedings commenced after its adoption, whether such arise out of acts or omissions which occurred prior or subsequent to such adoption and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
