Lack of Adequate Protection. - The court, on motion or motu proprio, may terminate, modify or set conditions for the continuance of suspension of payment, or relieve a claim from the coverage thereof, upon showing that: (a) a creditor does not have adequate protection over property securing its claim; or
(b) the value of a claim secured by a lien on property which is not necessary for rehabilitation of the debtor exceeds the fair market value of the said property.
For purposes of this section, a creditor shall be deemed to lack adequate protection if it can be shown that:
(a) the debtor fails or refuses to honor a pre-existing agreement with the creditor to keep the property insured;
(b) the debtor fails or refuses to take commercially reasonable steps to maintain the property; or
(c) the property has depreciated to an extent that the creditor is under secured.
Upon showing of a lack of protection, the court shall order the debtor or the rehabilitation receiver to make arrangements to provide for the insurance or maintenance of the property; or to make payments or otherwise provide additional or replacement security such that the obligation is fully secured. If such arrangements are not feasible, the court may modify the Stay Order to allow the secured creditor lacking adequate protection to enforce its security claim against the debtor: Provided, however, That the court may deny the creditor the remedies in this paragraph if the property subject of the enforcement is required for the rehabilitation of the debtor.
