PURSUANT TO THE
2006 STOCK OPTION PLAN
OF
CIMBIX CORPORATION
THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, (the "Agreement"), is made as of October 3,
2006 (the "Effective Date") by and between CIMBIX CORPORATION, a Washington
corporation, (the "COMPANY") and , residing at
-----------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(the "OPTIONEE"), pursuant to the COMPANY's 2006 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
(the "Plan").
The Board of Directors of the COMPANY adopted the Plan as of October 3,
2006 to which this Agreement and the option granted hereunder ("Option") are
subject, and the Board of Directors of the COMPANY has determined that it is to
the advantage and in the best interest of the COMPANY and its stockholders to
grant the Option provided for herein to OPTIONEE as an inducement to remain in
the employ of the COMPANY, and as an incentive for increased effort during such
service.
1. GRANT OF OPTION. The COMPANY grants to OPTIONEE the right and
option to purchase from the COMPANY, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, all or any part of an aggregate of shares (the "Option
--------------
Shares") of the authorized Common Stock of the COMPANY, at the purchase price of
$0.50 per share (being not less than the fair market value per share of said
stock on the date hereof) as OPTIONEE may from time to time elect, exercisable
on or after the Effective Date hereof until September 30, 2013 (the latter date
hereinafter referred to as the "Terminal Date"). No partial exercise of such
Option may be for less than 1,000 full Option Shares, unless the number
purchased is the total number at the time purchasable under the Option. In no
event shall the COMPANY be required to transfer fractional shares to OPTIONEE.
This Agreement and the Option granted hereunder are subject to the Plan, a copy
of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "A."
2. METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Option granted hereunder shall be
exercisable, from the Effective Date, as hereinabove provided, by written notice
which shall;
Page 1 of 6
(i) state the election to exercise the Option, the number of
Option Shares in respect of which it is being exercised, the person in whose
name the Option Shares are to be issued (if the Option Shares are issued to
individuals), the names, addresses, and Social Security Numbers of such persons;
(ii) contain such representations and agreements as to the
holder's investment intent with respect to such Option Shares of Common Stock as
are required by law or as may be satisfactory to the COMPANY's counsel;
(iii) be signed by the person or persons entitled to exercise the
Option and, if the Option is being exercised by any person or persons other than
the OPTIONEE, be accompanied by proof, satisfactory to counsel for the COMPANY,
of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option; and
(iv) be accompanied by a payment for the purchase price of those
Option Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised in the form of
cash or check.
3. ISSUING OF STOCK CERTIFICATES. The certificate or certificates for
the Option Shares as to which the Option shall be exercised shall be registered
in the name of the person or persons exercising the Option and delivered in
accordance with the terms of Section 7 below. The COMPANY shall not be required
to transfer or deliver any certificate or certificates for the Option Shares
purchased upon exercise of the Option granted hereunder until (a) compliance
with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) compliance with all then applicable
requirements of law.
4. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE OPTION. The COMPANY shall set aside the number
of Option Shares subject to be granted upon exercise of this Option which the
COMPANY now holds as authorized and unissued shares. If the Option should
expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in
full, the unpurchased Option Shares which were subject thereto shall be free
from any restrictions occasioned by this Option Agreement. If the COMPANY has
been listed on a stock exchange, the COMPANY will not be required to issue or
deliver any certificate or certificates for shares to be issued hereunder until
such shares have been listed (or authorized for listing upon official notice of
issuance) upon each stock exchange on which outstanding shares of the same class
may then be listed and until the COMPANY has taken such steps as may, in the
opinion of counsel for the COMPANY, be required by law and applicable
regulations, including the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and state blue sky laws and regulations, in connection with the
issuance or sale of such Option Shares. The COMPANY will use its best efforts
to comply with any such requirements forthwith upon the exercise of the Option.

5. TERMINATION OF OPTION. The Option and all rights granted hereunder
to the extent such rights shall not have been exercised, shall terminate and
become null and void on the Terminal Date or sooner if OPTIONEE ceases to be in
the continuous employ of the COMPANY (whether by resignation, dismissal, or
otherwise, as defined in the Plan), except that: (a) in the event of
termination of such employment for any reason other than death or the permanent
disability of OPTIONEE, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended and as presently in effect (the "Code"), OPTIONEE may at any
time within a period of 90 days thereafter exercise the Option granted hereunder
to the extent such Option was exercisable by OPTIONEE on the date of the
termination of such employment; (b) in the event of death or the permanent
disability of OPTIONEE while in the employ of the COMPANY, the Option granted
hereunder, to the extent that OPTIONEE was entitled to exercise such Option on
the date of OPTIONEE's disability, may be exercised within one year after such
termination as a result of death or disability by OPTIONEE or the person or
persons to whom OPTIONEE's rights under the Option granted hereby shall pass by
will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution; and (c) in the event
of retirement, as defined in the Plan, the OPTIONEE may at any time within a
period of 90 days thereafter exercise the Option granted hereunder to the extent
such Option was exercisable by OPTIONEE on the date of the termination of such
employment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, however, the
Option and all rights herein granted shall in all events terminate and become
null and void on the Terminal Date. The Board of Directors of the COMPANY or the
Committee established under the Plan shall have the right to extend the term of
the Option.
6. LIMITATION UPON TRANSFER. During the lifetime of OPTIONEE, the
Option and all rights granted hereunder shall be exercisable only by OPTIONEE,
and except as in Section 5 otherwise provided, the Option and all rights granted
hereunder shall not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated in any
way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment, or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer,
assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of such Option or of such
rights contrary to the provisions hereof, or upon the levy of any attachment or
similar process upon such Option or such rights, such Option and such rights
shall immediately become null and void.
7. STOCK AS INVESTMENT. By accepting this Option, the OPTIONEE
acknowledges for OPTIONEE or any heirs and legatees, that any and all Option
Shares purchased hereunder shall be acquired for investment and not for
distribution, and upon the transfer of any or all of the Option Shares subject
to the Option granted hereunder, the OPTIONEE, or heirs or legatees receiving
such Option Shares, shall deliver to the COMPANY a representation in writing
that such Option Shares are being acquired in good faith for investment and not
for distribution. The OPTIONEE shall not dispose (whether by sale, exchange,
gift, or any other transfer) of any Option Shares
Page 3 of 6
of stock acquired pursuant tothe exercise of the Option granted hereunder,
within two years after the grant of this Option or one year after the transfer
of such Option Shares to him upon his exercise of such Option. OPTIONEE further
recognizes that any disposition (whether a sale, exchange, gift, or any other
transfer) of any Option Shares of stock prior to the aforementioned periods will
not only be a breach of this Agreement, but will also disqualify the Option as a
Incentive Stock Option under Section 422A of the Code.
8. RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, OR MERGER. In the event of any
change in the Common Stock of the COMPANY subject to the Option granted
hereunder, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
stock split, stock dividend, or other change in the corporate structure,
appropriate adjustment shall be made by the COMPANY in the number of Option
Shares subject to such Option and the price per share; provided, however, that
in accordance with the provisions of Section 425(a) of the Code, a new Option
may be substituted for the Option granted hereunder or such Option may be
assumed by an employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such
corporation, in connection with any transaction to which such Section is
applicable. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the COMPANY other than in
connection with a transaction to which such Section is applicable, the Option
granted hereunder shall terminate and become null and void, but OPTIONEE shall
have the right immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise
the Option granted hereunder to the full extent not before exercised.
9. RIGHT AS STOCKHOLDER. Neither OPTIONEE nor his executors,
administrators, heirs or legatees, shall be or have any rights or privileges of
a stockholder of the COMPANY in respect of the Option Shares transferable upon
exercise of the Option granted hereunder, unless and until certificates
representing such Option Shares shall have been endorsed, transferred, and
delivered and the transferee has caused his name to be entered as the
stockholder of record on the books of the COMPANY.
10. NOTICES. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement
shall be addressed to the COMPANY in care of its Secretary at the main offices
for the transaction of its business, and any notice to be given to OPTIONEE
shall be addressed to OPTIONEE at the address set forth above, or at such other
