ITEM 5.     OTHER EVENTS
-------     ------------

     On  September  24, 2001, Evolve Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"),  issued  a  press  release  announcing  that  it has entered into an
agreement  to  sell  shares  of  its  Series  A  Preferred Stock and warrants to
purchase  additional shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock.  A
copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated
herein  by  this  reference.

     SERIES  A  PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT. (1) Pursuant to the Series A
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") attached hereto as
Exhibit  10.1,  dated  as  of  September  23,  2001, by and between the Company,
Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P. ("Warburg") and certain other investors
named in the Schedule of Purchasers to the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the
"Investors"),  the  Investors  agreed  to  purchase  an aggregate of 1.3 million
shares  of  the  Company's  Series  A  Preferred  Stock (the "Series A Preferred
Stock")  at a price of $10 per share, with the purchase price to be paid in cash
at  the  closing  of  the  sale  of such shares (the "Closing"); (2) the Company
agreed  issue  to  the  Investors upon the Closing warrants to purchase up to an
aggregate  of  1.3  million  additional  shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a
price  of  $10  per  share in cash, which warrants are exercisable for up to one
year after the Closing under certain circumstances, in the forms attached hereto
as Exhibit 10.2 ("Preferred Stock Warrants"); (3) the Company agreed to issue to
the  Investors  upon  the Closing warrants to purchase up to 6,500,000 shares of
Common  Stock  at  a  price  of  $1.00  per share in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit  10.3  ("Common  Stock Warrants") and (4) the Company agreed to grant to
the Investors additional Common Stock Warrants to purchase that number of shares
of  Common Stock equal to 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock into which
the  shares  of  Series  A Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the Preferred
Stock  Warrants  are  convertible, at the time such Preferred Stock Warrants are
exercised.  Each  share  of  Series  A  Preferred Stock will be convertible into
Common  Stock  at  an  initial  conversion  price  of  $0.50,  or  at an initial
conversion  rate  of  20  shares  of  Common  Stock  for  each share of Series A
Preferred  Stock, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Certificate
of  Designation  of  Series  A Preferred Stock of the Company attached hereto as
Exhibit  10.4  (the  "Certificate  of  Designation").

     The  number  of  shares  of  Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred
Stock  is  convertible will increase at the rate of 8.00% per year from the date
of  issue.  As  a condition to closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Company
will  file  the  Certificate  of  Designation,  which provides that the Series A
Preferred  Stock  shall have dividend, liquidation, conversion and voting rights
in  preference  to  the  Common  Stock.

     CONVERSION  OF  SERIES  A  PREFERRED STOCK.  Pursuant to the Certificate of
Designation, the Company may cause all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
to  be  automatically  converted  into  Common Stock at any time after the fifth
anniversary  of  the  date of initial issuance of such shares, provided that the
Company  may only cause such automatic conversion if the closing price per share
of  Common Stock for thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending within ten (10)
days  of  the  date on which notice of such automatic conversion is given to the
holders  of  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock shall have been at least $5.00, as
adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. All shares of
Series  A  Preferred  Stock will also automatically convert into Common Stock at
the  election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock may also be converted at any time
at  the  election  of  each  holder.


                                        2

     VOTING.  As  set forth in the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series
A  Preferred  Stock  are  entitled  to  vote such stock on an as converted basis
(without giving effect to certain adjustments in the conversion ratio subsequent
to  the  Closing  Date),  together  with the holders of Common Stock as a single
class  with  respect  to  all  matters,  except  under  specified  circumstances
described  below  under  "Board  Representation" with respect to the election of
directors  and  under  "Change  of  Control"  with  respect to certain Change of
Control transactions. In addition, the Company will not, without the affirmative
vote  of  the  holders  of  a  majority  of  the  outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred  Stock,  (i)  amend  or  repeal  the  provisions of the Certificate of
Designation;  (ii)  authorize or issue any shares of a class or series senior to
the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  or  any  bonds,  debentures,  notes  or  other
obligations  convertible  into  or  exchangeable for, or having option rights to
purchase,  any  shares  of  stock  senior to the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii)
issue  any  bonds,  debentures or notes or incur similar debt obligations, other
than trade debt in the ordinary course of business; (iv) pay any dividend on any
shares  of  stock junior to the Series A Preferred Stock or repurchase or redeem
any  such  shares  of  stock  junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, except for
repurchases  of  unvested  shares  of  stock  at cost from employees, directors,
consultants  and  other service providers; (v) repurchase any outstanding shares
of  stock,  except  for  repurchase  of  shares  held  by  employees pursuant to
repurchase  agreements  approved  by  the  board  of directors and redemption of
shares  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock;  (vi)  amend the bylaws to increase the
authorized  number  of  directors  of  the  Company to more than eight; or (vii)
authorize or issue any shares of any class or series of stock on parity with the
Series  A  Preferred  Stock or any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations
convertible  into  or exchangeable for, or having option rights to purchase, any
shares  of  stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock provided that such
restriction  shall  no  longer be applicable if Preferred Stock Warrants are not
exercised  to  purchase 500,000 or more shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior
to the six-month anniversary of the date of first issuance of Series A Preferred
Stock.

     BOARD  REPRESENTATION.  The  terms  of the Series A Preferred Stock, as set
forth  in  the  Certificate  of Designation, provide for holders of the Series A
Preferred  Stock  to  elect  three  members to the Board, voting separately as a
class.  Except  as  described  in  the  next sentence, this provision remains in
effect  for  so  long  as at least 75% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
issued  by  the  Company  outstanding.  If less than 75% but at least 50% of the
shares  of Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding, or
if  Warburg  does  not  exercise  Preferred  Stock Warrants to purchase at least
500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior to expiration of such warrants,
the  number  of  directors  to be elected by holders of Series A Preferred Stock
voting  separately shall be reduced to two. If less than 50% but at least 25% of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding,
the number of directors to be elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
voting  separately  shall  be  reduced to one. If less than 25% of the shares of
Series  A  Preferred Stock issued by the Company remain outstanding, the holders
of  Series  A Preferred Stock will no longer have the right to elect any members
of the board of directors voting separately. All other directors will be elected
by  the holders of the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock voting as a
single  class. The initial designees of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
Cary  Davis,  Nancy  Martin  and  Gayle  Crowell, will be appointed to the Board
effective  as  of the Closing. Mr. Davis and Ms. Martin are Members and Managing
Directors  of  Warburg, Pincus LLC and are Partners of Warburg, Pincus & Co. Ms.
Crowell  is  a  full-time  adviser  of  Warburg,  Pincus  LLC.


                                        3

     CHANGE  OF  CONTROL.  Under the Certificate of Designation, the Company may
not  consummate any Change of Control Transaction, as defined the Certificate of
Designation,  without  the  affirmative  vote  of  holders  of a majority of the
outstanding  shares  of  Series A Preferred Stock, unless such transaction would
result  in  aggregate  consideration  paid in respect of such Series A Preferred
Stock  equal  to  the  original purchase price thereof, plus an internal rate of
return  equal  to  at  least  50%.  In  addition,  in the event of any Change of
Control  Transaction,  holders  of  Common Stock Warrants will have the right to
deliver  such  warrants  to  the  Company  in exchange for payments equal to the
Black-Scholes value of such warrants at the time of such transaction, payable in
cash  or,  subject  to  certain  conditions,  Common  Stock  of  the  Company.

     PREEMPTIVE  RIGHTS.  Effective  as  of  the  Closing  under  the  Purchase
Agreement  and  subject  to  certain  exceptions,  the Company will grant to the
purchasers  of  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  rights to maintain their percentage
ownership in the Company in the event of future equity issuances by the Company.
A  copy  of the form of Preemptive Rights Agreement providing for such rights is
attached  as  Exhibit  10.5  hereto.

     REGISTRATION  OF  SHARES  OF  COMMON STOCK FOR RESALE.  Effective as of the
Closing under the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain conditions, the Company
has  agreed  to  prepare  and  file with the SEC, upon request of the holders of
Series  A  Preferred Stock after June 1, 2002, registration statements to enable
the  resale  of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of
the  Series  A Preferred Stock (including Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon
exercise  of  the  Preferred Stock Warrants), and upon exercise or conversion of
the  Common  Stock  Warrants.

     The  foregoing  summary  of  the  Purchase Agreement and the agreements and
transactions  contemplated  thereby is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the  Purchase Agreement, and the forms of Preferred Stock Warrants, Common Stock
Warrants,  Certificate  of  Designation,  Preemptive  Rights  Agreement,  and
