Cannot convert null to a value type JSON error

I am getting error 'Cannot convert null to a value type' when trying to deserialize JSON response into class object
I have the following code in C#

var client2 = new RestClient("https://portal.greeneis.com/v4_6_release/apis/3.0/company/contacts/"+CU.BillingContactId);
var request2 = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
request2.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;

request2.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
request2.AddHeader("authorization", "Basic " + token);

IRestResponse response2 = client2.Execute(request2);
JavaScriptSerializer oJS2 = new JavaScriptSerializer();

var oRootObject2 = oJS2.Deserialize<ContactClass.Rootobject>(response2.Content);

With C# class as

public class ContactClass
    {

        public class Rootobject
        {
            public int id { get; set; }
            public string firstName { get; set; }

        public class _Info
        {

        }

        public class Company
        {
            public int id { get; set; }
            public string identifier { get; set; }

        }

        public class Relationship

            public string name { get; set; }
            public _Info3 _info { get; set; }

        public class _Info3
        {
            public string relationship_href { get; set; }
        }

        public class _Info4
        {

            public string communications_href { get; set; }

        }

        public class Communicationitem
        {
            public int id { get; set; }

            public bool defaultFlag { get; set; }
            public string communicationType { get; set; }
        }

        public class Type1
        {
            public int id { get; set; }
            public string name { get; set; }
            public object _info { get; set; }
        }

    }

var oRootObject2 = oJS2.Deserialize<ContactClass.Rootobject>(response2.Content); line is throwing error that ' Cannot convert null to a value type.'

Lots of solutions online suggesting creating custom Class with nullable types but this won't work for me. I have no control over the Json
