(a) A debt, obligation, or other liability of a limited cooperative association is solely the debt, obligation, or other liability of the limited cooperative association. A member or manager of the limited cooperative association is not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise, for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the association solely by reason of being or acting as a member or manager of the association. This subsection applies regardless of the dissolution of the association.

(b) The failure of a limited cooperative association to observe formalities relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its activities and affairs is not a ground for imposing liability on any member or manager of the association for any debt, obligation, or other liability of the association.
