Yes, there are other conditions or situations in which a person can be exempted from disqualification under this Schedule besides those mentioned in sub-paragraph (5). These are the cases of merger and voluntary resignation of membership.

Merger: As stated in the context provided, a member's political party may merge with another party if not less than two-thirds of the members of the legislature party concerned agree to such merger. In this case, the member is exempted from disqualification.

Voluntary resignation of membership: If a person has been elected to certain offices (like Speaker or Deputy Speaker) and voluntarily gives up their membership in the political party they belonged to immediately before the election, then they are not disqualified under this Schedule so long as they do not rejoin that political party or become a member of another political party while holding the office. Additionally, if they rejoined their original political party after ceasing to hold such an office, they would still be exempted from disqualification.
