(g) This Section 7.2 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 7.2, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.2. Without limiting the foregoing, no provision of this Section 7.2 will create any third party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, director or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) or any other matter.
