interest;  and to foreclose the mortgage on the pledged facilities in the same manner

or restraint upon the rights or remedies of a mortgagee or secured party to enforce

a security interest, whether by foreclosure, collection or taking possession, judicial

or other sale or disposition, or by any other means, shall apply to a security interest

in all or any part of pledged facilities or in any way restrict, preclude, or otherwise

impair the rights or remedies of the holders of bonds issued under sections 4981.11 to 4981.26 of the Revised Code or of any insurer, guarantor, or provider of a letter of credit or other credit facility
