      trust and/or other security instruments in connection with the financing by Purchaser of the acquisition, ownership, operation or redevelopment of the Assets, or as preventing or prohibiting the
      holder of such security from realizing thereon, and this Section 5.6 shall not be binding upon such holder or any successor of such holder (other than Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser)
