(b)is a participating member by virtue of either of the following two subsections.
(5)A member who is the assignee of a lease by virtue of which a participating member was a qualifying tenant of his flat is a participating member if he has given a participation notice to the company within the period beginning with the date of the assignment and ending 28 days later (or, if earlier, on the execution of a relevant conveyance to the company).
(6)And if the personal representatives of a participating member are a member, they are a participating member if they have given a participation notice to the company at any time (before the execution of a relevant conveyance to the company).

(a)beginning with the date when the company gives a notice under section 13, and
(b)ending immediately before a binding contract is entered into in pursuance of the notice under section 13,
