    debtors in possession, may be sued, without leave of the court
    appointing them, with respect to any of their acts or transactions
    in carrying on business connected with such property. Such actions
    shall be subject to the general equity power of such court so far

    receiver or manager appointed in any cause pending in any court of
    the United States, including a debtor in possession, shall manage
    and operate the property in his possession as such trustee,
    receiver or manager according to the requirements of the valid laws
    of the State in which such property is situated, in the same manner
    that the owner or possessor thereof would be bound to do if in
    possession thereof.
