No forbearance or indulgence, including without limitation permitting Bidder to take possession of one or more items comprising the Collateral prior to payment in full for all purchases made by Bidder, shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy of Great Gatsby's or obligation of Bidder, and no single or partial exercise by Great Gatsby's of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy unless Great Gatsby's shall otherwise agree in writing. Great Gatsby's shall be entitled to invoke any remedy available to Great Gatsby's by law or in equity and enforce any such remedy against Bidder despite said forbearance or indulgence. 8.
