If a beneficial owner does not make the required contribution of property or services, the beneficial owner is obligated at the option of the New Hampshire investment trust to contribute cash equal to that portion of the agreed value (as stated in the records of the New Hampshire investment trust) of the contribution that has not been made. The foregoing option shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights, including the right to specific performance, that the New Hampshire investment trust may have against such beneficial owner under the governing instrument of applicable law.
