Subscription Agreement"); and 

WHEREAS, the terms of the Unit Subscription Agreement provide that it shall
be a condition precedent to the closing of the transactions thereunder for the
Company and the Investors to execute and deliver this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

	Definitions.  The following terms shall have the meanings

"Additional Shares" shall mean any additional shares of

exchange for, or in replacement of a Purchased Warrant, as a result of anti-
dilution provisions of a Purchased Warrant or otherwise.

 "Board of Directors" shall mean the board of directors of
the Company.

"Closing" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in
the Unit Subscription Agreement.  

"Common Stock" shall mean the common stock, $.001 par value
per share, of the Company.  

"Convertible Securities" means (i)

reference thereto, those Investors holding more than fifty percent (50%)
of the Registrable Shares held by all of the Investors.

"Other Securities" refers to any stock (other than Common
Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate or

Securities Act and any successor or substitute rule, law or provision.

"SEC" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 "Securities Act" shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as

	Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the
Closing.

	Mandatory Registration.(a)No later than thirty (30)
days after the Closing, the Company will prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the
Company, on such form of registration statement that is then available to effect
a registration of all Registrable Shares) for the purpose of registering under
the Securities Act all of the Registrable Shares for resale by, and for the
account of, the Investors as selling stockholders thereunder (the
"Registration Statement").  The Registration Statement shall
permit the Investors to offer and sell, on a delayed or continuous basis
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, any or all of the Registrable
Shares.  Such  Registration  Statement  also shall cover, to the extent
allowable  under  the  Securities  Act and the rules promulgated thereunder
(including  Rule  416),  such  indeterminate number of additional shares of
Common  Stock  resulting  from  stock  splits,  stock  dividends or similar
transactions with respect to the Registrable Shares.

(b)The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as
practicable after filing, but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120)
days after filing.

(c)The Company shall be required to keep the Registration Statement, as
amended, effective until such date that is the earlier of (i) two years after
the Closing, (ii) the date when all of the Registrable Shares registered
thereunder shall have been sold, or (iii) such time as all the Registrable
Shares held by the Investors can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) and without
compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act (such date
is referred to herein as the "Mandatory Registration Termination
Date").  Thereafter, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw the
Registration Statement and the Investors shall have no further right to offer or
sell any of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (or
any prospectus relating thereto).  

(d)The Company shall not grant any registration rights that are pari
passu with or senior to the registration rights of the Investors under this
Agreement if such registration rights would adversely affect the Investors'
ability to sell Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.  The
Company represents that no stockholders other than the Investors have the right
to sell any Common Stock or other securities of the Company pursuant to the
Registration Statement.  

	Obligations of the Company.  In connection with the Company's
obligation under Section 3 hereof to file a Registration Statement with the SEC
and to use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as practicable after filing, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as reasonably possible, subject to Section 9 hereof:

	Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective until the Mandatory
Registration Termination Date;
	Furnish to the selling Investors such reasonable number of copies of the
Registration Statement, prospectus and preliminary prospectus, in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents
(including, without limitation, prospectus amendments and supplements as are
prepared by the Company in accordance with Section 4(a) above) as the selling
Investors may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public or other
disposition of such selling Investors' Registrable Shares; 
	Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Shares
covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky
laws of all states requiring such securities or Blue Sky registration or
qualification, provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions; and
	Use reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Shares registered
hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange (including without limitation
any Nasdaq market) on which securities of the same class issued by the Company
are then listed.

	Furnish Information.  (a)  It shall be a condition precedent
to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement
that the selling Investors shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding them and the securities held by them as the Company shall reasonably
request and as shall be required in order to effect any registration by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)The Registration Statement will provide for a plan of distribution
with respect to the Registrable Shares substantially as
follows:  The Registrable Shares may be sold from time to time by the Investors,
or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest.  Such sales
may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or
otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the
then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions.  The Registrable
Shares may be sold by one or more of the following: (a) a block trade in which
the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; (b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such
broker or dealer for its account pursuant to the resale registration statement;
(c) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; (d)
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchasers; and (e) transactions between sellers and purchasers without a
broker/dealer.  In addition, any securities covered by the Registration
Statement which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144
rather than pursuant to the Registration Statement.  From time to time the
selling Investors may engage in short sales, short sales versus the box, puts
and calls and other transactions in securities of the issuer or derivatives
thereof, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection therewith.  In
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling Investors may arrange
for other brokers or dealers to participate.  Brokers or dealers will receive
commissions or discounts from selling Investors in amounts to be negotiated
immediately prior to the sale.  

	Expenses of Registration.  All expenses incurred in connection
with the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement
(excluding underwriting, brokerage and other selling commissions and discounts),
including without limitation all registration and qualification and filing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Investors
selected by the selling Investors not to exceed $2,500, shall be borne by the
Company.

	Indemnification.

	To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless
each selling Investor (including the partners or officers, directors and
stockholders of such Investor), and each person, if any, who controls such
selling Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and other federal or state
securities laws, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, (ii) arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or (iii) arise out of any violation or alleged violation
by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or
state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state securities law; and will
reimburse such selling Investor, or such officer, director or controlling person
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon
an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission made in connection
with the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
relating thereto or any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement
or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus by the selling Investors, any broker/dealer acting on their behalf or
controlling person with respect to them.
	To the extent permitted by law, each selling Investor will severally and not
jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of
its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, or any
selling Investors, and all other selling Investors against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer,
controlling person or such other selling Investor may become subject to, under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus,
relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent and only to the extent that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was made in the Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus,
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the
selling Investor expressly for use in connection with the Registration
Statement, or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus; and such selling
Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, or other selling
Investor in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the liability
of each selling Investor hereunder (when aggregated with amounts contributed, if
any, pursuant to Section 7(d)) shall be limited to the difference (the
"Difference") between the amount received by such Investor from the
sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and
the amount paid by such Investor to the Company for such Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Unit Subscription Agreement, and provided further,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(b)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of those
selling Investor(s) against which the request for indemnity is being made (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this
Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof
and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the
extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties with the consent of the
indemnified party which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed.  In the event that the indemnifying party assumes any such defense,
the indemnified party may participate in such defense with its own counsel and
at its own expense, provided, however, that the counsel for the
indemnifying party shall act as lead counsel in all matters pertaining to such
defense or settlement of such claim and the indemnifying party shall only pay
for such indemnified party's reasonable legal fees and expenses for the period
prior to the date of its participation in such defense, and provided
further, however, that the indemnified party (together with all
indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel)
shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses
to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the representation of the indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between the indemnified party and
any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay the fees of
more than one separate counsel.  The failure to notify an indemnifying party of
the commencement of any such action will not relieve such indemnifying party of
any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7 (except to the
extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the indemnifying
party's ability to defend such action), nor shall the omission so to notify an
indemnifying party relieve such indemnifying party of any liability which it may
have to any indemnified party otherwise other than under this Section 7.  No
indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent
to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party.

	If the indemnification provided in this Section 7 is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect
to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions that shall have resulted in such loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;
provided that in no event shall any contribution by an Investor under this
Section 7(d), when aggregated with amounts paid, if any, pursuant to Section
7(b), exceed the Difference.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and
of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
	The obligations of the Company and Investors under this Section 7 shall
survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares in a Registration
Statement under Section 3, and otherwise.
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the indemnifying party
shall not be entitled to settle any claim, suit or proceeding without the
written consent of the indemnified party unless in connection with such
settlement the indemnified party receives an unconditional release with respect
to the subject matter of such claim, suit or proceeding.

	Reports Under the Exchange Act.  With a view to making
available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or
regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell the
Registrable Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use
reasonable efforts: (i) to make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in the General Instructions to Form S-3, or any
successor or substitute form, and in Rule 144, (ii) to file with the SEC in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer
of securities registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and (iii)
undertake any additional actions reasonably necessary to maintain the
availability of the Registration Statement or the use of Rule 144.

	Selling Procedures.  Any sale of Registrable Shares pursuant
to the registration statement filed in accordance with Section 3 hereof shall be
subject to the following conditions and procedures:

(a)Updating the Prospectus.

	If the Company informs the selling Investor that the Registration Statement
or final prospectus then on file with the SEC is not current or otherwise does
not comply with the Securities Act, the Company shall use its best efforts to
provide to the selling Investor a current prospectus that complies with the
Securities Act as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3)
business days after delivery of such notice.  The Company's obligation to update
the Registration Statement or final prospectus under this Section 9(a)(i) shall
not be subject to the limitations of Section 9(a)(ii) or (b) below.
	If the Company requires more than three (3) business days to update the
prospectus under Section 9(a)(i) above, the Company shall have the right to
delay the preparation of a current prospectus that complies with the Securities
Act without explanation to such Investor, subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 9(b) below, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days (or
two periods which total not more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate) during
any twelve-month period.

(b)General.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of
any notice from the Company of (i) any request by the SEC or any other federal
or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or related prospectus or for additional information relating to the
Registration Statement, (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or
state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose, (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (iv) the happening of any event
which makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or related
prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any
changes in the Registration Statement or prospectus so that, in the case of the
Registration Statement, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the
prospectus, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (v)
that, in the judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, it is advisable to
suspend use of the prospectus for a discrete period of time due to pending
corporate developments, public filings with the Commission or that there exists
material nonpublic information about the Company that the Board of Directors,
acting in good faith, determines not to disclose in a registration statement,
then the Company may suspend use of the prospectus (each a
"Suspension"), in which case the Company shall promptly so
notify each Investor and each Investor shall not dispose of Registrable Shares
covered by the Registration Statement or prospectus until copies of a
supplemented or amended prospectus are distributed to the Investors or until the
Investors are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable
prospectus may be resumed; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may suspend use of the prospectus
pursuant to Sections 9(a)(ii), 9(b)(iv) and 9(b)(v), and an Investor may be
prohibited from selling or otherwise disposing of the Registrable Shares covered
by the Registration Statement or prospectus, on not more than two
occasions in total during any twelve-month period and for no more than
ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any such twelve-month period.  The
Company shall use its best efforts to ensure the use of the prospectus may be
resumed as soon as practicable.  The Company shall use its best efforts to
obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification
(or exemption from qualification) of any of the securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.  The Company shall, upon the
occurrence of any event contemplated by clause (iv), prepare a supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any
other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of
the Registrable Shares being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.

	Pre-emptive Rights.  In the event that at any time after the
Original Issue Date the Company proposes to issue additional shares of Common
Stock or Convertible Securities, other than Excluded Stock, and the Investors
collectively hold at least 1,423,768 shares of Common Stock (subject to the
adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock
split), the Company shall send a notice (an "Additional Share Notice") to the
Holder setting forth the terms of such proposed issuance.  The Holder shall be
entitled to purchase the proposed number of shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities, proposed to be issued in proportion to the Holder's
Proportionate Percentage (as hereafter defined) on substantially the same terms
set forth in the Additional Share Notice by (a) notice to the Company (the
"Purchase Notice") within 10 days of the date of the Additional Share Notice and
(b) payment of the price for such shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or such other method
of payment as the Company may approve, within 10 days after delivery to the
Company of the Purchase Notice.  The "Proportionate Percentage" of the
Holder means the percentage obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate number shares
of Common Stock held by the Holder by (b) the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding.

	Issuance of Certain Securities.  As long as
the Investors collectively hold at least 1,423,768 shares of Common Stock
(subject to the adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or
reverse stock split), the Company shall not issue any (a) Convertible Securities
or similar securities that contain a provision that provides for any change or
determination of the applicable conversion price, conversion rate, or exercise
price (or a similar provision which might have a similar effect) based on any
determination of the Market Price or other value of the Company's securities or
any other market based or contingent standard, (b) any preferred stock, debt
instruments or similar securities or investment instruments providing for (i)
preferences or other payments substantially in excess of the original investment
by purchasers thereof or (ii) dividends, interest or similar payments other than
dividends, interest or similar payments computed on an annual basis and not in
excess, directly or indirectly, of a rate equal to twice the interest rate on 10
year US Treasury Notes.  

	
Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. In addition, and whether or not any express
assignment shall have been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for
the benefit of the Investors shall also be for the benefit of and enforceable by
any subsequent holder of any Registrable Securities who has executed a copy of
this Agreement or otherwise indicated its agreement to be bound hereby.  Without
limitation on the Investors' rights to transfer Registrable Securities, the
Company acknowledges that any Investor may, at any time, transfer any of the
Registrable Securities which they may own, beneficially or of record, to (a)
their affiliates, or (b) their partner(s), investor(s), security holder(s) or
beneficial holder(s) pursuant to their organization documents or other
agreements, and that, upon the consummation of any such transfer, the provisions
of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
transferee of such Registrable Securities.

	Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the
exhibits hereto) constitutes and contains the entire agreement and understanding
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and it also supersedes
any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements or understandings
with respect to the subject matter hereof.

terminated, and no rights or provisions may be waived, except with the written

Each party hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any
New York State or United States Federal Court sitting in the State of New York,
County of New York, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement and irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in
any such action or proceeding by registered mail addressed to such party at its

party further waives any objection to venue in New York and any objection to an
action or proceeding in such state and county on the basis of forum non
conveniens.  Each party also waives any right to trial by jury. 

(c)Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
personal representatives, successors or assigns.  This Agreement shall also be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of any transferee of any of the
Registrable Shares.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
if at any time any Investor shall cease to own any Registrable Shares, all of
such Investor's rights under this Agreement shall immediately terminate.

Greetings:

1.This letter sets forth the terms of our agreement (the
"Agreement") concerning the compensation of Orin Hirschman
("Hirschman") for services from time to time to 8x8, Inc. or any of its direct
or indirect affiliates ("8x8") in connection with the introduction of 8x8
to any potential acquisitions (of assets or of or by companies), strategic
partners, merger partners or investors, or any direct or indirect affiliate
thereof (the "Targets").  8x8 hereby agrees that in the event a Transaction
is consummated with or through a Target introduced by Hirschman, 8x8 shall pay
to Hirschman compensation (the "Compensation") consisting of cash equal to [4]%
of the Value.   A "Transaction" shall mean any of various transactions
in which a Target may be involved, including, but not limited to, financings,
acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, licenses and other business combinations
or transactions.  "Value" shall mean the aggregate purchase price paid
to or by a Target or person introduced by the Target in any Transaction
including (i) the amount of any cash or cash equivalents, (ii) the fair market
value of any stock or the stated principal amount of any securities issued by
8x8, the Target or person introduced by Target in connection with the
Transaction, (iii) the stated principal amount of any debt issued or assumed by
8x8, the Target or person introduced by Target in connection with the
Transaction, (iv) the fair market value of any non-competition, employment,
royalty or similar arrangements entered into in connection with the Transaction
to the extent the compensation provided therein exceeds standard compensation
for services actually provided, and (v) the fair market value of any other
property exchanged by 8x8 and the Target or person introduced by Target in
connection with the Transaction.  The fair market value shall be determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of 8x8.

2.The Compensation shall be paid at the time 8x8 closes any
Transaction, except that the portion of Compensation due in respect of
installments or contingent payments of Value shall be paid to Hirschman upon
accrual of such installment or contingent payment.

3.This Agreement shall be effective on the date hereof and shall
expire on the third anniversary of the date hereof.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if 8x8 shall, within 180 days immediately following the
termination of the three-year period provided above, pay any fees to, or
consummate any Transaction(s) with or through, any Target, 8x8 shall also pay
Hirschman Compensation as determined above.

4.Hirschman shall be permitted full and complete access during normal
business hours and with reasonable prior notice to 8x8 to all books and records
of 8x8 necessary to permit Hirschman to audit or verify the accuracy of any
Compensation.  Hirschman shall be responsible for any and all costs of such
verification or audit and for review of any determination of fair market value,
unless such verification, audit or review reveals that 8x8 has underpaid
Hirschman by one percent or more for any applicable quarter or determination, in
which case 8x8 shall reimburse Hirschman for all reasonable costs incurred in
connection with such verification, audit or review (including fees and costs of
independent accountants).  8x8 shall pay to Hirschman all disputed amounts that
are determined to be payable to Hirschman after such verification, audit or
review within five (5) days after the completion of such verification, audit or
review.  In addition, 8x8 shall bear any costs of collection (including
reasonable legal fees) of such fees.  

5.Neither any advice rendered by Hirschman nor any communication from
Hirschman in connection with the services performed by Hirschman, pursuant to
this Agreement will be quoted, in whole or in part, nor will any such advice or
communication or the name of Hirschman be referred to, in any report, document
release or other communication, whether written or oral, prepared, issued or
transmitted by 8x8 or any officer, director, stockholder, employee, agent or
representative of 8x8 without the prior written authorization of Hirschman. 

6.(a)8x8 agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Hirschman, his
employees, legal counsel, agents and affiliates, (all of such persons being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Indemnified Parties") against any
and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards,
liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (and any and all actions, suits,
proceedings and investigations in respect thereof and any and all legal and
other costs, expenses and disbursements reasonably incurred in giving testimony
or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise), including,
without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements, as and
when incurred, of investigating, preparing or defending any such action, suit,
proceeding or investigation (whether or not in connection with litigation in
which an Indemnified Party is a party), directly or indirectly caused by,
relating to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with
(i) Hirschman's acting for 8x8, including, without limitation, any act or
omission by an Indemnified Party in connection with acceptance of or the
performance or nonperformance of obligations under this Agreement, as it may be
amended from time to time; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of material fact contained in, or omissions or alleged omissions from, any
information furnished to an Indemnified Party, an investor, lender, provider of
funding or any party to the transaction; or (iii) any Transaction,
provided, however, such indemnity agreement shall not apply to any
portion of any such loss, claim, damage, obligation, penalty, judgment, award,
liability, cost, expense or disbursement to the extent it is found in a final
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to
have resulted primarily and directly from the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of the particular Indemnified Party.  8x8 also agrees that an
Indemnified Party shall not have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in
contract or tort or otherwise) to 8x8l or to any person claiming through 8x8l
for or in connection with the engagement of Hirschman, except to the extent that
any such liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily and
directly from Hirschman's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b)The indemnity provisions of this Section 6 shall be in addition to
any liability 8x8 may otherwise have to any of the Indemnified Parties.

(c)If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as
to which an Indemnified Party proposes to demand indemnification, it shall
notify 8x8 with reasonable promptness; provided, however, that any
failure by an Indemnified Party to notify 8x8 shall not relieve 8x8 from its
obligations hereunder.  Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain
counsel of its own choice to represent it, and 8x8 shall pay the fees, expenses
and disbursements of such counsel; and such counsel shall to the extent
consistent with its professional responsibilities cooperate with 8x8 and any
counsel designated by 8x8.  8x8 shall be liable for any settlement of any claim
against an Indemnified Party made with 8x8's written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.  8x8 shall not, without the prior written
consent of an Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim, or permit a
default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof, unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes, as an unconditional term thereof,
the giving by the claimant to the respective Indemnified Party of an
unconditional release from all liability in respect of such claim.

(d)In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a
claim for indemnification pursuant to these indemnification provisions is made
but it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not
subject to further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such
case, even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in
such case, then 8x8, on the one hand, and the respective Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Parties, as applicable on the other hand, shall contribute to the
losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities,
costs, expenses and disbursements to which the indemnified persons may be
subject in accordance with the relative benefits received by 8x8, on the one
hand, and the respective Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, as applicable
on the other hand, and also the relative fault of 8x8, on the one hand, and the
respective Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, as applicable on the other
hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards,
liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements and the relative equitable
considerations shall also be considered.  No person found liable for a
fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the respective Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Parties, as applicable, shall not be obligated to contribute any amount
hereunder that exceeds the amount of fees previously received by the respective
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, as applicable, in connection with the
foregoing.

(e)Neither termination nor completion of the engagement of Hirschman
pursuant to the Agreement shall affect the provisions of this Section 6 which
then shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

7.Upon completion of a Transaction, 8x8 shall bear Hirschman's
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with performance of his services
hereunder, including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of its
outside counsel and travel expenses; provided that Hirschman will obtain 8x8's
prior approval before incurring travel expenses or retaining experts (other than
counsel).

8.Neither 8x8 nor Hirschman shall make any public statement about
this Agreement or any transactions or services described herein mentioning the
other party without the prior written consent of the other party, unless that
party determines in good faith, on the advice of legal counsel, that public
disclosure is required by law, in which case that party shall consult with the
other party prior to making a statement.

9.8x8 represents and warrants to Hirschman that Hirschman's
engagement hereunder has been duly authorized and approved by 8x8, and that this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by 8x8 and constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of 8x8.

9.The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Hirschman is not
acting as an agent or a fiduciary of 8x8 or its stockholders in connection with
any services that may be performed hereunder.

10.Any advice rendered by Hirschman hereunder is solely for the
benefit of 8x8's board of directors only and may not be relied upon by any other
person.

11.This Agreement has been executed and delivered in the
State of New York and shall be governed by the laws of such state, without
giving effect to the conflict of laws rules thereunder. Each party hereby
irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any New York State or
United States Federal Court sitting in the State of New York, County of New
York, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
and irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such
action or proceeding by registered mail addressed to such party at its address
specified above (or as otherwise noticed to the other party).  Each party
further waives any objection to venue in New York and any objection to an action
or proceeding in such state and county on the basis of forum non
conveniens.  Each party also waives any right to trial by jury.

12.This Agreement shall be binding upon, and enforceable against,
the successors and assigns of each of the undersigned.

13.This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.

 

 

Please signify your agreement to the foregoing at the place indicated
below.

Cordially,
