THIS FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made between BindView Development Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), and the “Executive” identified above. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to Sections are to Sections in this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed by both the Executive and the Company, is effective as of the date set forth in Schedule 1 as the Effective Date.

As a result, the Executive has, or is expected to have, significant responsibility for the Company’s management, profitability and growth. Likewise, the Executive possesses, or is expected to acquire, an intimate knowledge of the Company’s business and affairs, including its policies, plans, methods, personnel, opportunities, and challenges.
1.2	The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) considers the continued employment of the Executive to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Compensation Committee desires to structure the Executive’s compensation to encourage the Executive to remain in service to the Company, in part by providing for certain severance benefits if the Executive’s employment ends in certain specified ways.
2.	DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings set forth below. Other defined terms have the meanings set forth in the provisions of this Agreement in which they are used.

The amount earned will be prorated for any bonus period the Executive was not employed by the Company for the entire bonus period based on the portion of the bonus period the Executive was employed by the Company.

5.3	No Termination of Agreement Per Se. Termination of the Employment will not terminate this Agreement per se; to the extent that either party has any right under applicable law to terminate this Agreement, any such termination of this Agreement shall be deemed solely to be a termination of the Employment without affecting any other right or obligation hereunder except as provided herein in connection with termination of the Employment.

Exhibit 10.67

Executive: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

10.2	The Executive acknowledges that the Company would not permit the Executive to have or to continue to have access to Confidential Information without the Executive’s agreement to the restrictions in Section 10.1. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions in Section 10.1 are fair and reasonable and the result of negotiation, relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters.
10.3	If the Executive has never been provided with any access to Confidential Information at the time the Employment is terminated (including but not limited to never having been provided access to an email account or other access to a computer network of any BindView Company), then the Executive will be automatically released from the restrictions in Section 10.1. Such release will be the Executive’s EXCLUSIVE REMEDY for any actual or alleged breach of this Agreement by the Company in not providing such access.
10.4	If the Executive violates the restrictions set forth in Section 10.1, and the Company brings a legal action for injunctive or other relief, the Company shall not be deprived of the benefit of those restrictions. Accordingly, the restrictions in Section 10.1 will be tolled during any period in which the Executive violates any of such restrictions until the date of entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of a final judgment enforcing such restrictions in Section 10.1, as written or as modified by the court.
10.5	The Company will not unreasonably withhold its consent under Section 10.1 to the Executive’s employment, after the Employment, by a corporation that competes with one or more of the BindView Companies, but only if, before starting the new employment, the Executive provides the Company with a document reasonably satisfactory to the Company, signed by both the Executive and such corporation, containing (i) a written description of the Executive’s duties in the new job, and (ii) specific assurances that in the new job the Executive will neither use nor disclose Confidential Information of any BindView Company.
10.6	The Executive may acquire a direct or indirect ownership interest of not more than 5% of the outstanding securities of any corporation which is engaged in activities prohibited by Section 10.1 which is listed on any recognized securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market in the United States, provided that such investment is of a totally passive nature and does not involve the Executive’s devoting time to the management or operations of such corporation.
10.7	If a Tribunal determines that any of the restrictions set forth in Section 10.1 is unreasonably broad or otherwise unenforceable under applicable law, then (i) such determination shall be binding only within the geographical jurisdiction of the Tribunal, and (ii) the restriction will not be terminated or rendered unenforceable, but instead will be reformed (solely for enforcement within the geographic jurisdiction of the Tribunal) to the minimum extent required to render it enforceable.
11.	EMPLOYEE HANDBOOKS, ETC. From time to time, the Company may, in its discretion, establish, maintain and distribute employee manuals or handbooks or personnel policy manuals, and officers or other representatives of the Company may make written or oral statements relating to

FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT PAGE 13

The Executive will adhere to and follow all rules, regulations, and policies of the Company set forth in such manuals, handbooks, or statements as they now exist or may later be amended or modified. Such manuals, handbooks and statements do not constitute a part of this Agreement nor a separate contract, and shall not be deemed as amending this Agreement or as creating any binding obligation on the part of the Company, but are intended only for general guidance.

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Company will pay all reasonable fees and expenses charged by the arbitrator and the AAA but will not pay the Executive’s fees or expenses associated with the arbitration. The arbitrator is hereby directed to take all reasonable measures not inconsistent with the interests of justice to expedite, and minimize the cost of, the arbitration proceedings. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
12.3	To protect Inventions, trade secrets, or other confidential information, the Company may seek temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, including but not limited to an injunction enforcing the provisions of Sections 8, 9, and 10, in each case, without waiving its right to arbitration.
12.4	At the request of either party, the arbitrator may take any interim measures s/he deems necessary with respect to the subject matter of the dispute, including measures for the preservation of confidentiality set forth in this Agreement.
13.	OTHER PROVISIONS.
13.1	This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon (i) the Company and its successors and assigns and (ii) the Executive and the Executive’s heirs and legal representatives, except that the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement are of a personal nature and will not be assignable or delegable in whole or in part without the Company’s prior written consent.

Schedule 1

Effective Date		July 19, 2004
Office		Senior Vice President
Position		Responsible for Product Marketing
Base Salary		Initially, $190,000 per year ($15,833.33 per month, with first month pro-rated). Effective April 1, 2005, minimum annual base compensation will be $200,000 ($16,666.67 per month).
Bonus Potential At Target		Initially, $190,000 per year. Any bonus for 2004 will be pro-rated on a 360-day year, reduced by $50,000 (the amount of the signing bonus below), and tied solely to the Executive’s achievement of his individual management objectives set by the Company. Effective April 1, 2005, the Executive’s Bonus Potential At Target will be $200,000 (pro-rated for 2005).
Signing bonus		$50,000, to be paid as additional compensation when the Executive starts work for the Company, in anticipation of the Executive’s continuing to work for the Company at least six (6) months. The Executive shall not be obligated to repay any portion of the signing bonus, nor to pay any interest thereon, nor to execute a promissory note or similar instrument concerning the signing bonus, except as provided in the next sentence. If, at any time during the six (6) months following the Effective Date, either (i) the Executive resigns other than for Good Reason or (ii) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, then the Executive shall forfeit a pro-rata portion of the signing bonus and agrees to repay it to the Company, without interest, within 10 business days thereafter. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE: If the Executive were to resign for other than Good Reason effective October 19, 2004, then he would forfeit 3/6 = 1/2 of the signing bonus and therefore would be required to repay the Company the sum of $25,000 by November 2, 2004.

All relocation expenses reimbursed by the Company are subject to pro-rata forfeiture as set forth above for the signing bonus, except (i) the period of pro-ration shall be 36 months instead of six months; and (ii) the Executive need not forfeit any portion of such relocation expense reimbursements if he resigns in any circumstances entitling him to Special Severance Benefits under Section 3.3(b)(3) of the Change of Control Agreement having an effective date contemporaneous with that of this Agreement.
Minimum annual vacation		20 business days
Other specific benefits		Reserved parking space
Non-interfering activities		The Company agrees that the Executive’s service on the advisory board of his former employer, Instantis, Inc. shall not be a breach of this Agreement, provided that such service does not interfere with the Executive’s performance of his duties.

I covenant that neither I, nor any person, organization, or other entity on my behalf, will ▇▇▇ BindView, et al., or initiate any type of action for damages, against BindView, et al. with respect to any event, transaction, or matter that occurred before the date of my signing of this Release. I understand and agree that this Release is a GENERAL RELEASE.

2. This Release specifically includes, but is not limited to, a release of all claims of breach of contract, employment discrimination, (including, but not limited to, discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability or any other protected status, and coming within the scope of Title VII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act, as amended, the U.S. Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, the U.S. Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, or any other applicable state or federal statute in any U.S. of foreign jurisdiction), claims concerning recruitment, hiring, salary rate, stock options, severance pay, wages or benefits due, employment status, libel, slander, defamation, intentional or negligent misrepresentation and/or infliction of emotional distress, together with any and all tort, contract, or other claims which might have been asserted by my or on my behalf in any suit, charge of discrimination, or claim against BindView, et al.

For a period of seven (7) days following my execution of this Release, I will have the right (referred to herein as the “Revocation Right”) to revoke my waiver of claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), a U.S. federal statute that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees who are over the age of 40. If I wish to exercise the Revocation Right:
