(a) To continue performing its public functions and to obtain an approval order or consummate a consensual debt relief transaction, the eligible obligor may use property, including cash collateral, subject to a lien, pledge, or other interest of or for the benefit of an entity; Provided, That the entity shall be entitled to a hearing, upon notice, to consider a request for adequate protection of its lien, pledge, or other interest as promptly as the Court’s calendar permits, at which hearing the Court may condition the use of the collateral on such terms, if any, as it determines necessary to adequately protect such interest.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this chapter, if revenues of an eligible obligor are subject to a pledge under which current expenses or operating expenses may be paid prior to the payment of principal, interest or other amounts owed to a creditor, the eligible obligor shall not be required to provide adequate protection pursuant to this section, to the extent that sufficient revenues are unavailable for payment of such principal, interest or other amounts after full payment of such current expenses or operating expenses.
(c) If the entity holding a lien, pledge, or interest in the collateral consents to its use, then the entity shall be deemed adequately protected on the terms, if any, in the consent and no further adequate protection shall be required.
