7.2              Moral Rights.

7.5              Disclosure. The Consultant agrees to promptly disclose to the Company all of its Work of Authorship and Intellectual Property and hereby agrees to execute all documents or do all other acts necessary in order to enable the Company to preserve and protect its rights in the Developments.  Regardless of whether this Agreement has been terminated, the Consultant agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any instruments, and to provide whatever other assistance is required to confirm the ownership by the Company of such rights in the Developments. Reasonable expenses incurred for such assistance shall be paid by the Company. No additional compensation shall be paid to the Consultant in respect of any of the matters referred to in this clause.

7.6              No Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant to the Consultant any express or implied option, license or other rights, title or interest in or to the Confidential Information of the Developments, or obligate either party to enter into any agreement granting any such right.  If the Consultant acquires any right, title or interest in any Confidential Information or any Developments, the Consultant hereby irrevocably assigns all such rights, title and interests exclusively to the Company.
