A certificate, entitled "certificate of correction of . . .

The certificate shall set forth the name of the corporation, the date the document to be corrected was filed by the commissioner, the provision in the document as corrected or eliminated, and, if the execution was defective, the proper execution. The corrected document is effective in its corrected form as of its original filing date except as to a person who relied upon the inaccurate portion of the document and was, as a result of the inaccurate portion of the document, adversely affected by the correction.

This section does not apply with respect to documents filed pursuant to part 5 or this part.
