REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8 PART II ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

The description of Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 000-21783) pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description. All documents filed by Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof, and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereunder have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold under this registration statement, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. The 8x8, Inc. documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. 8x8, Inc.'s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the risks identified in the respective documents incorporated by reference. ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. The validity of the issuance of shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the Registrant by Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation ("WSGR"), Palo Alto, California.

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 9 of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Article 6.1 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.

II-2 5 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 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, 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) 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 Securities and Exchange 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. II-3 6 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto, duly authorized, in the City of Santa Clara, State of California, on July 8, 1997. 8X8, INC.

            RE:  REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

            We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed
by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about July 8, 1997
(the "Registration Statement"), in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of (i) 1,765,364 shares of your Common Stock
reserved for issuance under the 8x8 1992 Stock Option Plan; (ii) 999,753 shares
of your Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 8x8 1996 Stock Plan; (iii)
150,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 8x8 1996 Director
Option Plan; and (iv) 500,000 shares of your Common Stock reserved for issuance
under the 8x8 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively, the "Shares")
(collectively, the "Plans"). As legal counsel for 8x8, Inc., we have examined
the proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken
by you in connection with the sale and issuance of the Shares under the Plans.

            It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner referred
to in the Plans and pursuant to the respective agreement which accompanies each
grant under the Plans, the Shares will be legally and validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.

            We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever
appearing in the Registration Statement and any amendments to it.


                                         Very truly yours,
