Any attempted termination of a member's membership interest as to which the power to terminate has been negated shall be null and void.

No event specified in subdivisions (a)(1), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(10), (a)(11) or (a)(12) shall result in the termination of the membership interest or financial rights of a member of a family LLC. In the event that a member of a family LLC attempts to terminate the member's membership interest or financial rights by withdrawal by express will under subdivision (a)(1), such attempted termination shall be null and void.
