§ 502. Liability for contributions. (a) Except as provided in the operating agreement, a member is obligated to the limited liability company to perform any promise to contribute cash or property or to perform services that is otherwise enforceable in accordance with applicable law, even if he or she is unable to perform because of death, disability or any other reason. Except as provided in the operating agreement, if a member does not make any required contribution of property or services, he or she is obligated at the option of the limited liability company to contribute cash equal to that portion of the value, as stated in the records of the limited liability company, if so stated, of the contribution that he or she has not 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 limited liability company may have against such member under the operating agreement or applicable law.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the operating agreement and except as provided in section six hundred five of this chapter, the obligation of a member to make a contribution or to return money or other property paid or distributed in violation of this chapter may be compromised only by consent of all the members. Notwithstanding the compromise, a creditor of a limited liability company who extends credit in reliance on the obligation of any member may enforce the original obligation to the extent he or she reasonably relied on such obligation after the member signed a writing which reflects the obligation and the creditor extended credit before the compromise. A conditional obligation of a member to make a contribution or return money or other property to a limited liability company may not be enforced unless the conditions to the obligation have been satisfied or waived as to or by such member. Conditional obligations include contributions payable upon a discretionary call of a limited liability company or a member prior to the time the call occurs.

(c) The operating agreement may provide that the membership interest of any member who fails to make any required contribution shall be subject to specified consequences of such failure. Such consequences may include, but are not limited to, reduction or elimination of the defaulting member's interest, subordination of the defaulting member's interest to that of nondefaulting members, a forced sale of the defaulting member's interest, forfeiture of the defaulting member's interest, the lending by the other members of the amount necessary to meet the defaulting member's commitment, a fixing of the value of the defaulting member's interest by appraisal or by formula and redemption or sale of such member's interest at such value, or other consequences.
