DOCUMENT TITLE: Re: Church of Spiritual Technology SUBJECT: Correcting a Supplemental Submission from Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) to IRS concerning tax exemption PARTIES: Lyman Spurlock, "co-founder" and President of CST; Marvin Friedlander, Exempt Organizations Ruling Branch, Internal Revenue Service; Religious Technology Center (RTC); Sherman Lenske, Stephen Lenske, and Lawrence E. Heller, silent in this record, but Special Directors of CST; Purportedly, L. Ron Hubbard BACKGROUND AND NOTES This 21 May 1987 letter from CST "co-founder" and President Lyman Spurlock to IRS's Marvin Friedlander is significant for several things. First, it gives us our only glimpse and knowledge of an "Option Agreement" purportedly executed on 10 May 1982 by and between "L. Ron Hubbard" and a party or parties unknown representing CST. The only problem is that CST didn't exist on 10 May 1982. The letter also reveals the existence of two proposed, but never signed, assignment agreements of 10 May 1982: one for the Advanced Technology, and one for the marks (trademarks and service marks). Unfortunately, Spurlock also contradicts fellow CST "co-founder" Sherman Lenske by claiming that the actual final assignment agreements involving RTC--one for the Advanced Technology, one for the marks--were both executed by "Hubbard" and RTC on 16 May 1982, not by Hubbard on 10 May 1982 and RTC on 16 May 1982 as Lenske has claimed. Lenske, in a 1995 Declaration, tells an elaborate story to account for the fact that "Hubbard's" notary put 10 May 1982 on both documents for Hubbard's signing, while the notary for the RTC signors put 16 May 1982, and both documents have 16 May 1982 written in at the top. It's all very muddied and contradictory, so typical of lying criminals attempting to cover up their crimes, but there's no reason to get as confused as they would like you to get: we've got all the documents laid out in chronological order, even accounting for the phantom "Option Agreement" between "LRH" and CST, plus the phantom "proposed" AT Agreement and "proposed" marks Agreement that Spurlock says were never executed. We've got all the lies and contradictory stories documented. Of course the IRS has all these phantom documents, and if you think they ought to cough them up, let 'em know about it. {CHURCH OF SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY LETTERHEAD} May 21, 1987 Mr. Marvin Friedlander Exempt Organizations Ruling Branch Internal Revenue Service 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20224 Attn: OP:E:EO:R:3-RHD, Room 6033 Re: Church of Spiritual Technology Dear Marvin: As you have been informed by our authorized representative, the discussion relating to L. Ron Hubbard's retained rights to the Advanced Technology in the Supplemental Submission the Church of Spiritual Technology ("CST") recently filed has several inaccuracies. The purpose of this letter is to correct these inaccuracies. Notably, these errors do not affect CST's position in the Supplemental Submission that it must be treated as a separate organization for tax purposes. The Supplemental submission erroeously states in several places that Mr. Hubbard retained a right of reversion in the Advanced Technology. These statements were based on an assignment agreement Mr. Hubbard proposed to enter into with Religious Technology Center ("RTC") on May 10, 1982, the date he granted CST the option to the Advanced Technology. Paragraph 3 of this proposed assignment agreement provides that Mr. Hubbard or his heirs, successors or assigns had a right of reversion with respect to the Advced Technology Mr. Hubbard assigned to RTC if RTC fails to obtain tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3). A copy of this proposed assignment agreement was attached to CST's option agreement, which was submitted in the record of this determination proceeding. In fact, Mr. Hubbard and RTC did not execute the proposed agreement. In the actual assignment agreement, which Mr. Hubbard and RTC executed on May 16, 1982, Mr. Hubbard retained only a limited power of appointment over the Advanced Mr. Marvin Friedlander Internal Revenue Service May 21, 1987 Page 2 Technology. Paragraph 4 of the actual agreement provides that if RTC does not obtain recognition of its exemption under section 501(c)(3), it must transfer its rights to the Advanced Technology "to another Scientology entity having such tax-exempt status" as designated by Mr. Hubbard or his heirs, successors or assigns. Thus, Mr. Hubbard did not retain a right of reversion in the Advanced Technology; he retained only a limited power to designate a section 501(c)(3) organization to receive RTC's rights in the event RTC does not obtain tax-exempt status. The actual assignment agreement is in the record in RTC's determination proceeding but was not submitted in this proceeding. A copy of the actual agreement therefore is enclosed for inclusion in CST's record. You should note that while RTC's record contained the actual agreement, your initial adverse determination letter to RTC also erroneously assumed that Mr. Hubbard retained a right of reversion in the Advanced Technology (as well as the marks). See January 7, 1986 letter to RTC at 20. In order to clarify the administrative record, we revised the reference in CST's Supplemental Submission to Mr. Hubbard's retained rights in the Advanced Technology to reflect the actual facts. Copies of revised pages B-15, B-19, B-21, E-10, E-25 and E-26 are enclosed. Also enclosed are copies of the marked-up pages that indicate all changes. The assignment agreement between Mr. Hubbard and RTC with respect to the marks that is included in the record of this proceeding also is a proposed agreement that was attached to the option agreement between Mr. Hubbard and CST [dated earlier in this letter at 10 May 1982]. While the assignment agreement they actually executed on May 16, 1982 was not changed, a copy of the executed agreement also is enclosed to [sic] CST's record will be complete. Thank you for your cooperation in correcting these errors. If you have any questions, please be in touch. Sincerely yours, {SIGNATURE} Reverend Lyman Spurlock President Enclosures ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT (LRH/RTC) (Advanced Technology-U.S.) This Assignment Agreement is made this 16th day of May, 198_, by and between: LAFAYETTE RONALD HUBBARD, also known as L.

RECITALS A. LRH is the founder of the religion of Scientology which is based on a body of truths, and the technology for applying them, that were discovered, described and refined by LRH through research and study which have continued for more than forty years, and are contained in the writings and recorded spoken words of LRH with respect to Scientology and the organi- zations formed to disseminate the religion of Scientology (hereinafter referred to as "the Scientology Scriptures"). B. LRH has published much of the Scientology Scriptures for the use and benefit of mankind through the religion and organizations of Scientology. Included in the Scientology Scriptures is a substantial body of confidential advanced technology that has not been published by LRH, but instead has been protected and maintained as confidential property of LRH (hereinafter referred to as "the Advanced Technology"), and issued to Advanced Scientology Organizations for their good usage. The Advanced Scientology Organizations, in turn, have made the Advanced Technology available to those who have attained, through processing, an appropriate level of development in the religion of Scientology to properly grasp and utilize the Advanced Technology, and only upon a confidential basis and with an absolute obligation to protect and maintain its confidentiality. The right to use the Advanced Technology and make it available to others has been, and is, subject to the permission of LRH. C. RTC was formed by Scientologists, with the approval of LRH, to act as the protector of the religion of Scientology and to own, protect, and control the utilization of the Advanced Technology in the United States of America and its territories and possessions (hereinafter referred to as "the -2- U.S.A."). Representatives of RTC have received the Advanced Technology and confidential materials containing the Advanced Technology in the U.S.A., under the obligation of confidentiality to LRH. Lists of the Advanced Technology and the confidential materials are attached as Exhibit 1 (Preclear/Pre-OT Processing Levels) and Exhibit 2 (Auditor Training). D. The purpose of this Assignment Agreement is to transfer all rights in the Advanced Technology in the U.S.A to RTC, and to prescribe certain terms and conditions governing its owner- ship and use and the disposition of income received by RTC by reason of its ownership and use. AGREEMENT 1. Recitals. The recitals are hereby made part of this Agreement and are acknowledged to be true. 2. Assignment a. Subject to the Option in Paragraph 3 hereof and the Right of Reversion in Paragraph 4, LRH hereby assigns to RTC his entire right, title and interest in and to the Advanced Technology in the U.S.A., including all rights to use and to license the use of the Advanced Technology in the U.S.A. b. This assignment includes all rights owned by LRH to protect the confidentiality of the Advanced Technology and -3- to enforce in the U.S.A. the obligations of confidentiality of those who have received the Advanced Technology in the past. 3. Option. This assignment is subject to an option granted by LRH to Church of Spiritual Technology, a California corpora- tion (hereinafter "CST"), to purchase all of the rights assigned to RTC under and pursuant to this Agreement for the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00). This option shall be exercisable by CST at any time if CST decides, in its sole discretion and judgment, that RTC has failed to preserve and maintain the con- fidentiality, purity and ethical use of the Advanced Technology in accordance with the Scientology Scriptures, or that RTC's ownership of the Advanced Technology in any way places the Advanced Technology in danger of appropriation by any entity that is outside or hostile to the religion of Scientology, or that RTC has permitted and is permitng use of the Advanced Technology in any way that is contrary to the Scientology Scriptures and seriously damages the religion of Scientology. 4. Transfer if Tax-Exempt Status is Not Obtained If at any time after one year from the date of execution of this Agreement, RTC has not obtained tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and does not have a pending application for such status or an appeal from a denial of such status in which all administrative and judicial remedies have not been exhausted, RTC shall transfer all of the rights assigned to -4- RTC under and pursuant to this Agreement to another Scientology entity having such tax-exempt status, as designated by LRH, his heirs, successors or assigns, subject to the Option in Paragraph 3. 5. Disposition of Income Received a. It is understood and agreed that RTC will make appropriate charges, to be determined by RTC, for access to and training in the Advanced Technology. b. RTC shall apply at least ninety percent (90%) of the gross income it receives by reason of the Advanced Tech- nology to religious and charitable purposes, to be determined by the Directors of RTC, other than the support of RTC and its operations, that either are within purposes of the religion of Scientology according to the Scientology Scriptures, or are for the general purpose of advancing the moral and ethical level of mankind. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, acceptable purposes for use of this income shall be: (1) establishing and maintaining an indestructible record of the Scientology Scriptures; (2) establishing and maintaining a museum of the religion of Scientology; (3) establishing religious schools, scholarships and retreats; -5- (4) supporting other qualified organizations of the religion of Scientology; and (5) publishing, disseminating and promoting literature that is not part of the Scientology Scriptures but which, in the judgment of the Directors of RTC, is in concert with the broad goals of Scientology and is worthy of support for the general benefit of mankind. c. RTC may retain up to ten percent (10%) of the gross income derived by RTC by reason of the Advanced Technology, tos support the operating and overhead expenses of RTC.
