As the assignee of a lessor’s interest in a lease, from becoming the owner and lessor of the leased property pursuant to its contractual right, or from taking any reasonable and appropriate action to salvage or protect the value of the property or its interest arising under the lease.

(c)

From including any provisions in a lease, or from making any additional agreements, to protect its financial position or investment in the circumstances set forth in subdivisions (a) and (b) of this section.
