Obtaining credit
(a)
If the trustee is authorized to operate the business of the debtor under section 721, 1108, 1183, 1184, 1203, 1204, or 1304 of this title, unless the court orders otherwise, the trustee may obtain unsecured credit and incur unsecured debt in the ordinary course of business allowable under
section 503(b)(1) of this title
as an administrative expense.
(b)
The court, after notice and a hearing, may authorize the trustee to obtain unsecured credit or to incur unsecured debt other than under subsection (a) of this section, allowable under
section 503(b)(1) of this title
as an administrative expense.
(c)
If the trustee is unable to obtain unsecured credit allowable under
section 503(b)(1) of this title
as an administrative expense, the court, after notice and a hearing, may authorize the obtaining of credit or the incurring of debt—
(1)
with priority over any or all administrative expenses of the kind specified in section 503(b) or 507(b) of this title;
(2)
secured by a lien on property of the estate that is not otherwise subject to a lien; or
(3)

(d)
(1)
The court, after notice and a hearing, may authorize the obtaining of credit or the incurring of debt secured by a senior or equal lien on property of the estate that is subject to a lien only if—

(B)
there is adequate protection of the interest of the holder of the lien on the property of the estate on which such senior or equal lien is proposed to be granted.
(2)
In any hearing under this subsection, the trustee has the burden of proof on the issue of adequate protection.
(e)
The reversal or modification on appeal of an authorization under this section to obtain credit or incur debt, or of a grant under this section of a priority or a lien, does not affect the validity of any debt so incurred, or any priority or lien so granted, to an entity that extended such credit in good faith, whether or not such entity knew of the pendency of the appeal, unless such authorization and the incurring of such debt, or the granting of such priority or lien, were stayed pending appeal.
(f)
Except with respect to an entity that is an underwriter as defined in
section 1145(b) of this title
, section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and any State or local law requiring registration for offer or sale of a security or registration or licensing of an issuer of, underwriter of, or broker or dealer in, a security does not apply to the offer or sale under this section of a security that is not an equity security.
