    (A) the person is obligated, at the option of the enterprise, once formed, to contribute money equal to the value of that part of the contribution that has not been made, and the obligation may be enforced as a debt to the enterprise; or

    (b) Unless the organic rules or an agreement to make a contribution to a mutual benefit enterprise otherwise provide, if a person does not make a required contribution to an enterprise, the person or the person’s estate is obligated, at the option of the enterprise, to contribute money equal to the value of the part of the contribution which has not been made.
