<P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT SIZE=2><B>INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law the Company has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may
incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Company's By-laws require the Company to indemnify its directors and executive officers, and permit the
Company to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents, to the extent permitted by Delaware law. Under the Company's By-laws, indemnified parties are entitled to
indemnification for negligence, gross negligence and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by law. The By-laws also require the Company to advance litigation expenses in the case of
stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the indemnified party
to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. Such indemnity agreements contain provisions which are in some respects broader than
the specific indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law. </FONT></P>

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

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE
The following documents filed by
First Virtual Communications, Inc
. (the "Company") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement:
(a)
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001;
(b)
Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002;
(c)
Our Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and Supplemental Notice for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on
June 14, 2002;
(d)
The description of our common stock in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on
April 29, 1998 including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating the description; and
(e)
Our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 10, 2002.
All
reports and other 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 which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be a part of this registration statement from the date of the filing of such reports and documents.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law the Company has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may
incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Company's By-laws require the Company to indemnify its directors and executive officers, and permit the
Company to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents, to the extent permitted by Delaware law. Under the Company's By-laws, indemnified parties are entitled to
indemnification for negligence, gross negligence and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted by law. The By-laws also require the Company to advance litigation expenses in the case of
stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the indemnified party
to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification.
The
Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. Such indemnity agreements contain provisions which are in some respects broader than
the specific indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law.

UNDERTAKINGS
1.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this
chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement.
(iii)
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;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the issuer pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference herein.
(b)
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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)
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.
2.
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 herein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3.
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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 16, 2002.
