If a member does not make the required contribution of property or services, the member is obligated at the option of the company to contribute money equal to the value of that portion of the required contribution which has not been made. The foregoing option does not limit the availability of any remedy provided for in the operating agreement or under law, including specific performance.

(4)of subsection
(d)of Section 15-1, may enforce the original obligation.
(e)Subject to Sections 1-43 and 15-5, the operating agreement may provide that the interest of any member that fails to make any contribution that the member is required to make will be subject to specified remedies for, or specified consequences of, the failure. The specified remedies or consequences may include, without limitation:
(1)Loss of voting, approval, or other rights.
(2)Loss of the member's ability to participate in the management or operations of the
limited liability company.
(3)Liquidated damages.

in the company.

otherwise, with respect to contributions by or capital accounts of the nondefaulting members.
