(a) A member’s obligation to make a contribution to a limited liability company, or a series thereof, is not excused by the member’s death, disability, or other inability to perform personally. If a member does not make a contribution required by an enforceable promise, the member or the member’s estate is obligated, at the election of the limited liability company, or series thereof, to contribute money equal to the value of the portion of the contribution that has not been made. The foregoing election shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights, including the right to specific performance, that the limited liability company, or series thereof, may have under the limited liability company agreement or applicable law.
