<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Pursuant to the requirements of General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of Registration
Statement No.&nbsp;333-59825 of BindView Development Corporation (the &#147;Registrant&#148;) are hereby
incorporated by reference herein, including each of the documents
filed by the Registrant with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
therein and including each of the documents filed as exhibits to such Registration Statement.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act of the State of Texas (the &#147;TBCA&#148;)
generally permits a corporation to indemnify a person who was, is or is threatened to be named a
defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person was or is a director of officer if it is
determined that such person (i)&nbsp;conducted himself in good faith, (ii)&nbsp;reasonably believed (a)&nbsp;in
the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director or officer of the corporation, that his
conduct was in the corporation&#146;s best interests and/or (b)&nbsp;in other cases, that his conduct was at
least not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests and (iii)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In addition, the
TBCA requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer for any action that such director or
officer is wholly successful in defending on the merits. The Registrant&#146;s Bylaws, as amended,
provide for indemnification of its present and former directors to the fullest extent provided by
Article&nbsp;2.02-1. The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its
directors and officers which require the Registrant, among other things, to
indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status or service,
unless an adverse final judgment establishes that (a)&nbsp;the indemnitee&#146;s acts were committed in bad
faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and, in either case, were material to
the cause of action adjudicated in the judgment, or (b)&nbsp;the indemnitee personally and improperly
gained a material financial profit or other material benefit to which the indmenitee was not
entitled. The Registrant currently maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146; insurance to reimburse the
Registrant in the event that indemnification of a director or officer is required.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Bylaws, as amended, further provide for indemnification of directors and
officers against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such action,
suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation eliminate the liability of
directors for monetary damages for an act or omission committed in the director&#146;s capacity as a
director, except to the extent a director is found liable for (i)&nbsp;a breach of such director&#146;s duty
of loyalty to the Registrant or its shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;an act or omission not in good faith that
constitutes a breach of duty of such director to the Registrant or an act or omission that involves
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii)&nbsp;a transaction from which such
director received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken
within the scope of the director&#146;s office or (iv)&nbsp;an act or omission for which the liability of a
director is expressly provided by an applicable statute.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation further limit a director&#146;s
liability if the TBCA, the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act or any other applicable Texas
statute is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of
the directors of the Registrant. If such applicable statute does hereafter eliminate or limit a
director&#146;s liability, then the liability of a director of the Registrant shall be limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the TBCA, the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act and such other
applicable Texas statute, as so amended, and such limitation of liability shall be in addition to,
and not in lieu of, the limitation on the liability of a director of the Registrant provided by the
Articles of Incorporation.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Pursuant to the requirements of General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of Registration
Statement No. 333-59825 of BindView Development Corporation (the "Registrant") are hereby
incorporated by reference herein, including each of the documents
filed by the Registrant with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
therein and including each of the documents filed as exhibits to such Registration Statement.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act of the State of Texas (the "TBCA")
generally permits a corporation to indemnify a person who was, is or is threatened to be named a
defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person was or is a director of officer if it is
determined that such person (i) conducted himself in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed (a) in
the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director or officer of the corporation, that his
conduct was in the corporation's best interests and/or (b) in other cases, that his conduct was at
least not opposed to the corporation's best interests and (iii) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In addition, the
TBCA requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer for any action that such director or
officer is wholly successful in defending on the merits. The Registrant's Bylaws, as amended,
provide for indemnification of its present and former directors to the fullest extent provided by
Article 2.02-1. The Registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its
directors and officers which require the Registrant, among other things, to
indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status or service,
unless an adverse final judgment establishes that (a) the indemnitee's acts were committed in bad
faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and, in either case, were material to
the cause of action adjudicated in the judgment, or (b) the indemnitee personally and improperly
gained a material financial profit or other material benefit to which the indmenitee was not
entitled. The Registrant currently maintains directors' and officers' insurance to reimburse the
Registrant in the event that indemnification of a director or officer is required.
The Registrant's Bylaws, as amended, further provide for indemnification of directors and
officers against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any such action,
suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation eliminate the liability of
directors for monetary damages for an act or omission committed in the director's capacity as a
director, except to the extent a director is found liable for (i) a breach of such director's duty
of loyalty to the Registrant or its shareholders, (ii) an act or omission not in good faith that
constitutes a breach of duty of such director to the Registrant or an act or omission that involves
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) a transaction from which such
director received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken
within the scope of the director's office or (iv) an act or omission for which the liability of a
director is expressly provided by an applicable statute.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation further limit a director's
liability if the TBCA, the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act or any other applicable Texas
statute is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of
the directors of the Registrant. If such applicable statute does hereafter eliminate or limit a
director's liability, then the liability of a director of the Registrant shall be limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the TBCA, the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act and such other
applicable Texas statute, as so amended, and such limitation of liability shall be in addition to,
and not in lieu of, the limitation on the liability of a director of the Registrant provided by the
Articles of Incorporation.
