Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the Common Stock covered hereby has been passed upon for
Manugistics Group, Inc., by Susan E. Pendery, Deputy General Counsel. As an

Item 6. Indemnification Of Directors and Officers.
Article 8 of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") contains certain provisions
permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
1
("Delaware GCL") which eliminate the personal liability of directors for
monetary damages for a breach of the director's fiduciary duty, except for: (i)
breach of a director's duty of loyalty; (ii) acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(iii) the unlawful payment of dividends, stock purchase or stock redemption; or
(iv) any transaction from which the director derives any improper personal
benefit. Article 8 of the Certificate of Incorporation also provides that a
director's liability shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware GCL, as amended from time to time. Article 9 of the
Certificate of Incorporation and Article 8 of the Registrant's Amended and
Restated By-Laws also contain provisions indemnifying the Registrant's
directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware GCL.
Section 145 of the Delaware GCL sets forth the applicable terms,
conditions and limitations governing the indemnification of officers, directors
and other persons.
In addition, the Registrant maintains officer and director liability
insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors.
William H. Janeway, a partner of Warburg Pincus & Co. and a Vice Chairman
and member of Warburg Pincus LLC, is indemnified by Warburg Pincus Private
Equity VIII, L.P. in connection with his service on the board of directors of
the Registrant.

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 Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the
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 the Registration Statement;
2
(iii)
To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration
Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or
Form S-8, and 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 Commission by
the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
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.
(3)
To remove from the registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the 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
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
