        8x8, Inc. (the "Company") hereby incorporates by reference in this
registration statement the following documents:

        (a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2000.

        (b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") since the end
of the fiscal year covered by the Company document referred to in (a) above.

        (c) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A (No. 000-21783) filed pursuant to
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the
purpose of updating such description.

        All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement which indicates that all

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, indemnity 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 Securities Act. Article 8 of the Company's Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Article 6 of the Bylaws of the
Company provide for indemnification of certain agents to the maximum extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Persons covered by these
indemnification provisions include current and former directors, officers,
employees and other agents of the Company, as well as persons who serve at the
request of the Company as directors, officers, employees or agents of another
enterprise. In addition, the Company has entered into agreements with its
officers and directors which require the Company to indemnify its officers and
directors to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law.

Item 9. Undertakings

        (a) Rule 415 Offering The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement 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.

               (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

        (b) Filing incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference

        The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each
filing of the Company'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) Request for acceleration of effective date or filing of registration
statement on Form S-8

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
