Item 5.     Other Events
-------     ------------

     On May 22, 2001, Evolve Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Evolve")
and Vivant! Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Vivant") entered into an Asset
Acquisition Agreement ("Acquisition Agreement"), providing for the acquisition
by Evolve of certain assets of Vivant (the "Acquisition").  The Acquisition was
completed on June 29, 2001.

In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, Evolve has issued to Vivant
1,553,254 shares of Common Stock of Evolve, as well as $500,000 in cash. In
addition, Evolve purchased from Vivant miscellaneous equipment with an aggregate
purchase price of $56,597, and assumed equipment lease obligations in the
aggregate amount of $140,000. Evolve and Vivant entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement pursuant to which Evolve agreed to register the shares of
Evolve Common Stock issued to Vivant under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, loan obligations of
Vivant to Evolve with an aggregate principal amount of $150,000 were cancelled.

     The number of shares issued to Vivant at the closing of the Acquisition is
subject to adjustment (by issuance of additional shares or redemption of
existing shares) based on the market value of the Evolve Common Stock as of the
time the registration of such shares becomes effective.  In addition, Evolve has
agreed to issue to Vivant additional shares of its Common Stock with a value of
no less than $525,000 and no more than $4,425,000 at specified times based on
