(a) Cumulative voting is allowed only if specifically authorized by the certificate of formation of a real estate investment trust.

(2) distributes the votes among one or more candidates using the same principle.

(c) If cumulative voting is specifically authorized by the certificate of formation, a shareholder who intends to cumulate votes must give written notice of that intention to the trust managers on or before the day preceding the date of the election at which the shareholder intends to cumulate votes.
