(b) Permitted Subordination. A Majority in Interest may instruct the Collateral Agent to agree to subordinate any Collateral to any claim and may enter into any agreement with Debtor to evidence such subordination.

(c) Further Actions. A Majority in Interest may instruct the Collateral Agent to take any action that it may take under this Agreement by instructing the Collateral Agent in writing to take such action on behalf of all the Lenders.

The Collateral Agent may rely on any such notice without independent verification or on any other source of information, including the Debtor.

6. Reliance on Documents and Experts. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement, paper, document, writing or communication (which may be by telegram, cable, telex, telecopier, or telephone) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon opinions and advice of its own legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent.
