                              CIMETRIX INCORPORATED
                     SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

     Because Cimetrix Inc.'s chief executive  officer,  chief financial  officer
and controller have a special role in promoting the fair and timely reporting of
our financial  results and conditions,  these  individuals are also bound by the
following  separate items, in addition to Cimetrix's Code of Business  Conduct &
Ethics.

     Cimetrix  expects the highest ethical conduct from its principal  executive
officer  and  senior   financial   officers  and  their  compliance  with  these
obligations  is  mandatory.  In  accordance  with the rules of the United States
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  changes to, or waivers of, the obligations
set forth in this "Special  Obligations of Certain  Officers" may require public
disclosure.

Honest and Ethical Conduct

     You are  expected to exhibit  honest and  ethical  conduct and to avoid any
personal activity, investment or association that could appear to interfere with
good judgment  concerning  Cimetrix's best interests and should not exploit your
position or relationship  with Cimetrix for personal gain. You should also avoid
the appearance of such  conflicts.  As examples,  there is a likely  conflict of
interest if you:

     o    cause  Cimetrix to engage in  business  transactions  with  friends or
          relatives;

     o    use nonpublic  Cimetrix,  client or supplier  information for personal
          gain by you, relatives or friends (including  securities  transactions
          based on such information);

     o    have  more  than  an  immaterial   financial  interest  in  Cimetrix's
          suppliers, clients or competitors;

     o    receive a personal loan, or guarantee of obligations, from Cimetrix or
          a third party as a result of your position at Cimetrix; or

     o    compete, or prepare to compete,  with Cimetrix while still employed by
          Cimetrix.

     There are other  situations  in which a conflict of interest may arise.  If
you have concerns about any  situation,  they should be addressed with the Audit
Committee of our Board of Directors or the full Board of Directors.

     As a Cimetrix principal  executive officer or senior financial officer,  it
is  imperative  that you avoid any  investment,  interest  or  association  that
interferes, might interfere, or might appear to interfere, with your independent
exercise of judgment in Cimetrix's best interests.
