cause shown, and with the approval of the Commission, in accordance

amended, authorize the trustee or trustees to issue certificates for cash, 
property, or other consideration approved by the judge, for such lawful

and such priority in payments over existing obligations, secured or 
unsecured, or receivership charges, as might in an equity receivership 
be lawful. 
Where such certificates are authorized to provide funds to 
pay for the acquisition, assembly or installation of safety equipment 
or materials related thereto, or for the purpose of reimbursing the 
trustee or trustees for funds so expended, the jud^e may direct (with-
out limitation of his power to make such direction m the absence of this 
provision) that the certificates shall have such lien on the property of 
the debtor and shall be entitled to such priority in payments over exist-
ing obligations, secured or unsecured, and receivership charges and 
present or future duties, debts or taxes or other obligations in favor of 
or payable to any State or any subdivision, agency or instrumentality 
thereof and interest or penalties, and to such parity with all or any 
portion of the other costs or expenses of administration or operation as 
in the particular case the judge may find equitable at the time of author-
izing the issuance of such certificates, regardless of whether such obli-
gations, charges, costs or expenses, duties, debts, or taxes constitute or 
are secured by liens on real or personal property or shall have become 
payable before or after the issuance of such certificates."
