(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (a) of this section,  all or specified members of a limited liability company may be liable in  their capacity as members for all or  specified  debts,  obligations  or  liabilities  of  a  limited liability company if (l) a statement to such  effect is specifically contained in the articles of organization of  the  limited  liability  company and (2) any such member so liable shall have  (i) specifically consented in  writing  (A)  to  the  adoption  of  such  provisions  or  (B)  to  be bound by such provision or (ii) specifically  voted for the adoption of such provision. The  absence  of  either  such  statement in the articles of organization or such consent or vote of any  such  member shall in no way affect or impair the ability of a member to  act as a guarantor or a surety for, provide collateral for or  otherwise  be  liable  for,  the  debts,  obligations  or  liabilities of a limited  liability company as authorized pursuant to section six  hundred  eleven  of this article.
