Prospectus, as amended or supplemented prior to the Closing Date (the

         4. Conditions of the CIBC Obligations. The obligation of CIBC to
purchase the Shares is subject to each of the following terms and conditions:

                  (a) Notification that the Registration Statement has become

Stockholders:

                  (a) in the discretion of CIBC at any time on or before the
Closing Date: (i) if on or prior to such date, any domestic or international
event or act or occurrence or change in general political or economic conditions
has materially disrupted the securities markets in the United States such as to
make it, in the judgment of CIBC, inadvisable or impracticable to resell the
Shares; (ii) if there has occurred any new outbreak or material escalation of
hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial
markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the judgment of CIBC,
inadvisable to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) if
trading in the Shares has been suspended by the Commission or trading generally
on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. or
the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum

agreements of the Selling Stockholders and of CIBC set forth in or made pursuant
to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of CIBC or the Selling Stockholders or any of
their respective officers, directors or affiliates and shall survive delivery of

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         The undersigned understands that BindView Development Corporation (the
"Company") has prepared and filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") registering the offering and sale by certain
shareholders of the Company of shares of the Common Stock, no par value per
share, of the Company (the "Common Stock").

         To induce the Company to permit the undersigned to include shares of
Common Stock held by it in the Registration Statement, the undersigned hereby
agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company, it will not,
during the period commencing on the effective date of the Registration Statement
and ending on the first anniversary of the effective date of the Registration
Statement, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or
warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

         The foregoing provisions shall not apply to the sale or other transfer
of shares of Common Stock in connection with a sale of the Company (by merger or
otherwise) or (a) by way of testate or intestate succession or by operation of
law, (b) to charitable organizations or (c) by way of partnership, corporate,
trust or similar distributions or (d) to any associate (as such term is defined
in Rule 12b2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of the undersigned;
provided that, prior to any
<PAGE>

such sale or other transfer of shares of Common Stock, any such transferee
referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above agrees in writing to the
restrictions on transfer set forth herein.

         In the event that the Registration Statement does not become effective
and the undersigned does not sell all of its shares of Common Stock registered
thereunder on or before September 1, 1999, this Lock-Up Agreement shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect, provided that if this Lock-Up
Agreement terminates, then the Company may amend the Registration Statement to
deregister the excess of the number of shares of Common Stock being offered and
sold by the undersigned pursuant to the Registration Statement less the number
of shares of Common Stock held by the undersigned that have previously been
offered and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.

                                    Very truly yours,
