Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 1, 2009, 8x8, Inc. ("8x8") entered into a lease agreement with SILICON VALLEY CA-I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Landlord"), pursuant to which 8x8 will lease approximately 52,000 square feet of office space located at 810 West Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94089, with a scheduled commencement date of September 1, 2009.  The term of the lease is three years, thus expiring August 31, 2012, subject to 8x8's right to accelerate the termination date as described below. It is an industrial gross lease with monthly rent of $46,512 for the first 12 months, $51,680 for the next 12 months and $56,848 for the final 12 months of the lease term.

The Landlord has agreed under the lease to perform specific improvements to the premises at its sole cost and expense (the "Initial Alterations"). 8x8 may request an allowance of up to $100,000 (the "Allowance") from the Landlord at any time on or before December 15, 2009 in order to perform additional alterations or improvements that have been approved in advance by the Landlord. In addition, 8x8 may request additional heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment (the "HVAC Work") within 180 days after the execution of the lease. The HVAC Work would be performed at 8x8's expense, provided that 8x8 may request from the Landlord an allowance of approximately $27,000 (the "HVAC Allowance") for the costs incurred by 8x8.

8x8 has the option to accelerate the termination date of the lease to the expiration of the 12th, 18th, 24th or 30th full calendar month of the lease term, by providing six months advance notice.  In the event that 8x8 exercises this early termination option, 8x8 would be required to pay a fee to the Landlord equal to the unamortized portion of any leasing commissions, the Initial Alterations and any portions of the Allowance and HVAC Allowance disbursed to 8x8.

8x8 has the option to renew the lease for a term of either 12 or 36 months. The monthly rent would change to reflect the prevailing market rate as then in effect, determined in reference to the fair market rental rate for space comparable to the premises in the same rental market in the Sunnyvale, California area.
