Acctounting Question: Initial Capital Contribution

In the Operating Agreement for a newly formed company it speaks of the
initial capital contribution of the founding partners. That investment
was made in a combination of cash and sweat equity. The Agreement
later includes a provision providing for a 'Set Price' meant to
monetize that initial capital investment.
My question relates to how this set price ought to be "memorialized and
made a part of the LLC records" as required. I'm guessing that I want
to create a GL entry. I understand how to balance the 'Common Shares'
account with the 'Checking Account' as a GL entry. But I'm wondering
how it is I make a balanced GL entry giving credit in Common Shares for
the unpaid sweat equity invested in the start-up.
Any accountants in the house who'd be willing to share with me how they
would proceed? Your help would be appreciated.
