               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference

        Marimba, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference into
this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):

        (a)     The Registrant's prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule
                424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
                Act"), in connection with the Registration Statement No.
                333-72353 on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on February 12, 1999,
                together with any and all amendments thereto, in which there is
                set forth audited financial statements for the Registrant's
                fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998; and

        (b)     The Registrant's Registration Statement No. 000-25683 on Form
                8-A filed with the SEC on March 31, 1999, together with all
                amendments thereto, pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities
                Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") in which there
                is described the terms, rights and provisions applicable to the
                Registrant's outstanding Common Stock.

        All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed
pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of
this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or
which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Item 4. Description of Securities

        Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

        Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court
to award or a corporation's board of directors to grant indemnification to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the 1933 Act. Article VII,
Section 6, of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for mandatory indemnification of
its directors and officers and permissible indemnification of employees and
other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, pursuant to
Delaware law, its directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach
of their fiduciary duty as directors to the Registrant and its stockholders.
This provision in the Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the
fiduciary duty of the directors, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable
remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain
available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be
subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper
personal benefit to the director and for payment of dividends or approval of
stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The
provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other
law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
The Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements with its officers and
directors. The Indemnification Agreements provide the Registrant's officers and
directors with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law.

Item 9. Undertakings

                A.      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement and (iii) to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses
(1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof and (3) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the Registrant's 1996 Stock Plan, 1999 Omnibus
Equity Incentive Plan, 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, International Employee
Stock Purchase Plan and the 1999 Non-Employee Directors Option Plan.

                B.      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                C.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
