• holding that because the express terms of a contract explicitly limited beneficiaries of the contract to the signatory parties, the plaintiff could not allege contract claim as a third-party beneficiary
• where indemnification contract specifically provided that the contract was solely for the benefit of the signatories, there could be no third-party beneficiaries
• “As a general rule, one not in privity of contract with another cannot maintain an action against him for breach of the contract.”
