BOND
Know All Men by These Presents, that [handwritten] GERALD DAVID ARMSTRONG
of [handwritten] Clearwater, Florida, herinafter called "the
Obligor"), is held and firmly bound to the Church of
Scientology of California (hereinafter called "the Church"),
a corporation its principal place of business being Clear-
water, Florida, in the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00),
to be paid to the said Church, its executors, administrators,
or assigns, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for
the payment of which sum, well and truly to be made, the
Obligor hereby binds himself, his heirs, executors, adminis-
trators and assigns firmly by these presents.
WHEREAS the Church has hired or otherwise employed said
Obligor;
AND WHEREAS, Obligor wishes to remain in the services
of the Church and wishes to continue receiving compensation
for work rendered by him/her in service of the Church;
NOW THEREFORE the above written obligation is con-
ditioned to be void in case the Obligor shall hereafter
-2-
well and truly agree that he/she will never disclose any
information, data, or knowledge he/she has or will learn
about the organization of the Church, or any of the Church's
affiliated Churches, Mission, or Organizations, including
but not limited to their internal structures, functions or
activities, and certain information which may be orally
imparted to the Obligor in the course of his/her having been
or being a staff member of the Church. The Obligor recog-
nizes that any information or knowledge gathered is done so
in a relationship of trust and confidence. The Obligor
recognizes that he/she will have a fiduciary duty to the
Church not to reveal any information of any nature which
might tend to harm, malign, damage, or injure or adversely
affect the Church in any of his activities or conduct.
Inasmuch as the actual damages, which would result from
a breach of the Obligor of his/her duties under this agree-
ment, are uncertain and would be impractical or extremely
difficult to fix, the Obligor promises to pay to the Church
the above mentioned sum of $10,000.00, for each such breach.
In the event any provision hereof shall be illegal or
unenforcible, then, and in any such event, the same shall
not affect the validity of the remaining portion and pro-
visions hereof.
