If the person engaged shall at any time neglect or refuse or from any cause (other than illness not caused by his own impropriety of conduct) become unable to perform or comply with all or any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the duties required of him or all or any of the orders or directions of the Government or its representatives or shall correspond verbally or otherwise directly or indirectly in or about the affairs of the Government with any person not in the employment of the Government or shall publish directly or indirectly, any document or information of any kind whatever affecting the Government or shall in any manner misconduct himself, it shall be competent for the Government to declare his employment at an end and he shall be forthwith dismissed by the Government and all rights, benefits, and advantages reserved to him by this Agreement shall cease and he shall be liable to be called upon to repay the amount paid for his passage to the Colony.

In the event of any pecuniary damage arising from disregard or noncompliance by the person engaged of any Standing Order or Departmental instruction or from any neglect of duty whatsoever on his part, he shall be liable to a deduction from his Salary, the amount of which shall be fixed by the Governor.

If at any time during the period of service the person engaged shall by indulgence in any stimulant incapacitate himself for the performance of his duties or any of them or any part thereof, his Salary shall therefore become and be liable to deduction to such extent not exceeding one half thereof and for such period as the Governor shall determine.

Three months prior to the expiration of this Agreement, the person engaged shall give notice in writing to the Government whether he desires to remain in its employment and the Government shall thereupon decide whether it will offer him further fixed temporary employment or place him on the establishment with the regulation privileges regarding leave of absence and retiring allowance on his quitting the public service. In the former case, the re-engagement will be on such terms and for such period as may be mutually agreed. In the latter case, the person engaged will forfeit his right to a return passage to England, but his previous service under this Agreement will count towards pension.

The person engaged shall, if so required by the Government, furnish such security as the Government may decide upon for the faithful and honest discharge of his duties, and if any premium is payable in respect of such security, it may be deducted from his salary by the Government.

The person engaged undertakes to make good to the Government or to the Crown Agents for the Colonies in respect of the fluctuation in the value of the dollar. For the purpose of payment in this country of leave salary, the dollar is reckoned at the exchange of Four shillings (4s.) and for pensions at Three shillings and eight pence (3s.8d.).

In the event of the person engaged becoming entitled on the expiration of this agreement to any payment in England on account of salary, return passage allowance, or other expenses, it will be necessary for him to produce to the Crown Agents a certificate from the Government of the amount so due before payment will be effected.
