Section 19. Miscellaneous

Neither Participant, nor any employee, agent, representative or other individual or entity acting on behalf of Participant, shall be deemed to be Boxabl’s servant, employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer. Participant further agrees that it has no right or authority to incur obligations of any kind in the name of or for the account of Boxabl or to commit or bind Boxabl to any contract or other obligation, and that all contracts entered into by Participant relating to the development or to the Boxabl Units shall be entered into by Participant as principal. |

This Agreement supersedes any and all other prior agreements, either oral or in writing, among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Boxabl and Participant. |
| 19.4 | Assignability. Neither Party shall assign this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety to an Affiliate without the written consent of the other Party. In addition, either Party (but in the case of Participant, subject to Boxabl’s prior written consent, such written consent not to be unreasonably withheld) may assign this Agreement to a successor in connection with the merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or equity or that portion of its business to which this Agreement relates, provided that such successor agrees to be bound in writing to all provisions of this Agreement. In connection with an authorized assignment as set forth in this Section 19.4, the assigning party shall promptly provide the non-assigning party with a copy of the executed assignment documentation.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be partially or wholly invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such holding shall not affect, alter, modify or impair in any manner whatsoever any of the other provisions of this Agreement, or the remaining portion of the provision held to be partially invalid or unenforceable. |
