State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Motive, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (the “Quarterly Report”) within the time period prescribed for such report.

As previously disclosed, (i) the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has conducted, and on July 30, 2007 completed, a review of certain historical accounting matters and issues, (ii) the Company has restated its previously issued financial statements for periods beginning with fiscal 2001 as a result of findings from the Audit Committee review and related activities, but such financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Company’s independent accountant, and (iii) on July 27, 2007, the Company dismissed Ernst & Young, LLP as its independent accountant and on October 17, 2007 engaged BDO Seidman, LLP as its successor independent accountant. As a result of the need for BDO Seidman to audit the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, and review the Company’s financial statements for the quarters ended September 30, 2005, March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006, September 30, 2006, March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007, and March 31, 2008, the Company is unable to complete the preparation of the Quarterly Report within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company anticipates that it will file the Quarterly Report as promptly as possible after the completion of BDO Seidman’s audits and reviews, as applicable, of the Company’s financial statements, as described above.
