 Dear Kathleen: 

I am pleased to formally offer for to you, on behalf of SeaChange International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEAC) (“SeaChange” or the “Company”), the
position of Senior Vice President – Chief Financial Officer, a direct report to the Chief Executive Officer. This key and important role for the Company will be categorized as a Section 16 Officer of the Company. 

The scope of responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer of our public company will encompass the typical span of control, including: Accounting, Tax,
Treasury, FP&A and Corporate Development, Internal Audit, Real Estate, Director and Officer Insurance, and Compliance Matters that are customary for the Finance and Accounting office of the Company. In addition, the Human Resources team will be
a direct report to your office, but in certain matters, will be a team effort with the Legal Department and myself. This will include: 
  

	 	•	 	 All Human Resource matters, including: hiring, terminations, contracts, recruiting, employee relations, benefits
and insurance, and training oversight. Payroll, Employee Benefits, and Stock Plan operations will be a key Chief Financial Officer responsibility. 


  

	 	•	 	 Compliance Programs in partnership with the Legal Department to ensure all employees are trained and certified in
the recommended programs, such as: FCPA, privacy, diversity, SOX controls, and protection of customer information. 


  

	 	•	 	 401K Program and overall Company cash management, to ensure the proper oversight of the Company’s
investments. 


 This offer has the support of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, subject to the successful completion of
our hiring requirements described below. Your start date is Wednesday, August 3, 2022. 
 The starting annual base salary for this position is $205,000
(subject to all required payroll taxes, deductions and withholdings) that will be paid semi-monthly. 











 You shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual Short-Term Incentive (“STI”)
cash bonus plan as established by the Board each year. For fiscal 2023 (ending on January 31, 2023), the Board shall set specific target goals which, if met within parameters determined by the Compensation Committee, shall make you eligible to
receive a target cash bonus of up to thirty percent (30%) of your annual base salary, prorated for your time of service with the Company, specifically for fiscal 2023. The STI is a performance-based plan, and the Board will approve the criteria for
the target metrics typically based on the fiscal 2023 Board approved budget, and other factors in their sole discretion. Bonus plans are reviewed and approved annually by the Board, and the Board reserves the right to modify such plans. You must be
employed by the Company on the date bonus payments are made in order to be eligible to receive such payment, typically after the annual Form 10-K is finalized. 

You will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) equity plan as established by the Board, at the
discretion of Compensation Committee. The equity grant is currently in development for fiscal 2023, and the actual grant has not been established at the time of this offer. We will be working together to administer whatever the Board ultimately
decides and approves for the key employees, of which you are one, for fiscal 2023. We anticipate that with additional shares targeted to being approved at this year’s Annual Meeting in August 2022, we will be communicating the final board
decision on the new LTI grants to all executives. 
 After six (6) months of employment with SeaChange, in the event that (i) your employment is
terminated by SeaChange other than for Cause (as defined in SeaChange’s Change in Control Agreement (the “CIC Agreement”)) or on the account of death or disability and (ii) subject to your execution of a general release and
satisfaction agreement, in form and substance acceptable to the Company (which shall include, without limitation, a mutually agreed to noncompete provision of one year), you shall be entitled to severance (“Severance”) in an amount equal
to six (6) months of base salary, payable in 12 semi-monthly installments, subject to applicable payroll taxes, deductions and withholdings. If your employment is terminated due to a Change in Control of the Company, your severance benefits
will be governed by the CIC Agreement for executives, currently under development. 
 Please be advised that neither this letter nor its terms, constitutes
a contract of employment, or a guarantee of employment for a specific period of time. This letter represents a summary of our at-will employment relationship and, as such, is subject to modification by
SeaChange. Both you and SeaChange will have the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without reason or notice. 
 You will be
eligible on your start date, on the same basis as other employees of SeaChange, to participate in and receive benefits under our 401(k) plan and any SeaChange group medical, dental, life, disability or other group insurance plans or Company
policies. Your eligibility to participate in and receive any particular benefit is subject to, and governed solely by, the applicable plan document. SeaChange reserves the right to modify, change or terminate its benefits and benefit plans from time
to time in its sole discretion. Usual, reasonable, and customary business expenses will be reimbursed to you or advanced on your behalf provided, however, that any such expenses not included within SeaChange’s budget shall be subject to Audit
Committee review and approval. 











 This offer is contingent upon the satisfactory presentation of appropriate documentation of your legal right
to work in the United States. This documentation (enclosed is a list of documentation which can be used) must be presented prior to your start date. Your employment with SeaChange is also contingent upon a completed successful background and
reference check and your execution of SeaChange’s Employee Noncompetition, Nondisclosure and Developments Agreement prior to your start date. Enclosed for your review and completion is a copy of the Employee Noncompetition, Nondisclosure and
Developments Agreement. You will also be provided an Indemnification Agreement and CIC Agreement. 
 This offer, along with the Employee Noncompetition,
Nondisclosure and Developments Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement and the CIC Agreement (to be provided as soon as practicable), constitutes the complete agreement between you and SeaChange, contains all of the terms of your proposed
employment with SeaChange and supersedes any prior agreements, representations or understandings (whether written, oral or implied) between you and SeaChange. No variations, modifications or amendments to this offer shall be deemed valid unless
reduced to writing and signed by SeaChange and you. 
 If you have any questions or require clarification, please contact me for resolution. To indicate
acceptance of these terms, please sign and return a copy of this letter. 
 We look forward to your acceptance. 

Sincerely, 
 /s/ Peter D. Aquino

 EMPLOYEE NONCOMPETITION, 

NONDISCLOSURE AND DEVELOPMENTS AGREEMENT 

In consideration and as a condition of my employment by SeaChange International, Inc. (the “Company”), as well as my access to
Company confidential and proprietary business information, I hereby agree with the Company as follows: 
 1. During the period of my employment by the
Company (the “Employment Period”), I will devote my full time and best efforts to the business of the Company. 
 2. During the period of my
employment by the Company and for one (1) year thereafter (and regardless of the reason for my termination), I agree that I will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or hire (or attempt to solicit or hire) any employee, consultant or
independent contractor of the Company, assist in such solicitation or hiring in any way, or in any way encourage, induce or solicit any such employee, consultant or independent contractor to terminate his or her relationship with the Company. 

3. 
 (a) I will not at any time, whether during or after the
Employment Period, reveal to any person or entity any confidential information concerning the organization, business or finances of the Company or of any third party which the Company is under an obligation to keep confidential (including but not
limited to confidential information respecting inventions, products, designs, methods, know-how, techniques, systems, processes, software programs, works of authorship, customer lists, projects, plans and
proposals), except as may be required in the ordinary course of performing my duties as an employee of the Company, and I shall keep secret all matters entrusted to me and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner which may
injure or cause loss or may be calculated to injure or cause loss, whether directly or indirectly, to the Company. Further, I agree that during and after the Employment Period I shall not make, use or permit to be used any notes, memoranda, reports,
lists, records, drawings, sketches, specifications, software programs, data, documentation or other materials of any nature relating to any matter within the scope of the business of the Company or concerning any of its dealings or affairs otherwise
than for the benefit of the Company, it being agreed that all of the foregoing shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and that immediately upon the termination of my employment I shall deliver all of the foregoing, and
all copies thereof, to the Company, at its main office. 
 (b) I further agree that during the term of my employment by the Company and at any time
following the termination of my employment by the Company for any or no reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, I will not disclose to others, use or publish (other than as may be required by my duties while employed by the
Company in the ordinary course of the Company’s business) any Company Trade Secrets. The term “Trade Secrets” shall be given its broadest possible interpretation under the law of Massachusetts and under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of
2016, and shall include (without limitation) all forms and types of financial, business, scientific, technical, economic, or engineering information, including patterns, plans, compilations, program devices, formulas, designs, prototypes, methods,
techniques, processes, procedures, programs, or codes, whether tangible or intangible, and whether or how stored, that is compiled, or memorialized physically, electronically, graphically, photographically, or in writing by the Company. 

(c) I acknowledge and understand that: (i) I shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the
disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (ii) I shall not be held criminally
or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; (iii) if I file a
lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law I may disclose the trade secret to my attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, provided I file any document containing the trade secret under seal and
do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. 











 (d) I understand that, notwithstanding the forgoing, this Agreement does not limit my ability to communicate
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, any agency Inspector General, or any other federal, state or local
governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”), including to report possible violations of federal law or regulation or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation,
or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice, to any Government Agency. 

4. If at any time or times during my employment, I shall (either alone or with others) make, conceive, create, discover, invent or reduce to practice any
invention, modification, discovery, design, development, improvement, process, software program, work of authorship, documentation, formula, data, technique, know-how, trade secret or intellectual property
right whatsoever or any interest therein (whether or not patentable or registerable under copyright, trademark or similar statutes or subject to analogous protection) (herein called “Developments”) that (i) relates to the business of
the Company or any customer of or supplier to the Company or any of the products or services being developed, manufactured or sold by the Company or which may be used in relation therewith, (ii) results from tasks assigned me by the Company or
(iii) results from the use of premises or personal property (whether tangible or intangible) owned, leased or contracted for by the Company, then: 

(a) such Developments and the benefits thereof are and shall immediately become the sole and absolute property of the Company and its assigns, as works made
for hire or otherwise; 
 (b) I shall promptly disclose to the Company (or any persons designated by it) each such Development; 

(c) as may be necessary to ensure the Company’s ownership of such Developments, I hereby assign any rights (including, but not limited to, any copyrights
and trademarks) I may have or acquire in the Developments and benefits and/or rights resulting therefrom to the Company and its assigns without further compensation; and 

(d) I shall communicate, without cost or delay, and without disclosing to others the same, all available information relating thereto (with all necessary
plans and models) to the Company. 
 5. I will, during and after the Employment Period, at the request and cost of the Company, promptly sign, execute, make
and do all such deeds, documents, acts and things as the Company and its duly authorized agents may reasonably require: 
 (a) to apply for, obtain,
register and vest in the name of the Company alone (unless the Company otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights, trademarks or other analogous protection in any country throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and restore
the same; and 
 (b) to defend any judicial, opposition or other proceedings in respect of such applications and any judicial, opposition or other
proceedings or petitions or applications for revocation of such letters patent, copyright, trademark or other analogous protection. In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any application for letters
patent, copyright or trademark registration or other documents regarding any legal protection relating to a Development, whether because of my physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, I hereby irrevocably designate and
appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such
application or applications or other documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent, copyright or trademark registrations or any other legal protection thereon with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by me. 
 6. I represent that the Developments identified in the pages, if any, attached hereto as Exhibit A comprise all
the unpatented and unregistered copyrightable Developments which I have made, conceived or created prior to the Employment Period, which Developments are excluded from this Agreement. I understand that it is only necessary to list the title and
purpose of such Developments but not details thereof. 
 7. I agree that any breach of this Agreement by me will cause irreparable damage to the Company and
that in the event of such breach the Company shall have, in addition to any and all remedies of law, the right to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent the violation of my obligations hereunder. I further agree and
acknowledge that the post-employment non-competition provision set forth in Paragraph 1 hereof, and the remedies set forth in this paragraph, are necessary and reasonable to protect the business of the
Company. 











 8. I understand that this Agreement does not create an obligation on the Company or any other person or
entity to continue my employment. 
 9. No claim of mine against the Company shall serve as a defense against the Company’s enforcement of any
provision of this Agreement. 
 10. I represent that my performance of all of the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and
will not breach any agreement between me and any prior employer. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement, either written or oral, in conflict with the terms of this Agreement. 

11. Any waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such
provision or any other provision hereof. 
 12. I hereby agree that each provision herein shall be treated as a separate and independent clause, and the
unenforceability of any one clause shall in no way impair the enforceability of any of the other clauses herein. Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope,
activity, subject or otherwise so as to be unenforceable at law, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting or reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with the
applicable law as it shall then appear. 
 13. My obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment regardless of the manner
of such termination and shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. 
 14. The term “Company” shall
include SeaChange International, Inc. and any of its subsidiaries, subdivisions, affiliates and assigns. The Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement to its successors and assigns, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by said successors or assigns. 
 15. I acknowledge that my covenants in this Agreement are given in exchange for,
among other things, my employment and the terms and conditions of such employment. My covenants are not tied to my present role, title or responsibilities. Therefore, the covenants in this Agreement shall survive any change in my role, title,
responsibilities, compensation, benefits, or any other term or condition of my employment. 
 16. For the one (1) year period after the termination of
my employment, and regardless of the reasons for such termination, I agree to provide a copy of this Agreement to any employer, prospective employer or other prospective recipient of my services; and I authorize the Company to provide a copy of this
Agreement to any person or entities that may or does employ or do business with, or consider employing or doing business with, me in the future. 
 17. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any claims or legal actions by one party against the other arising out of the relationship between the parties contemplated
herein (whether or not arising under this Agreement) shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be commenced and maintained only and exclusively in any state or federal court located in Massachusetts, and both
parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court. Both parties further agree that any such dispute shall be tried by a judge alone, and both parties hereby waive and forever renounce the right to a trial before a civil jury in
any such dispute. 
 18. I understand and agree that in the event I breach or fail to honor any term of this Agreement, and the Company is successful in
whole or in part in any legal or equitable action to defend its rights under or to enforce any terms of this Agreement, I shall be required to reimburse the Company for all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with such
action. 











 19. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior oral and/or written agreements, and sets forth the entire
agreement, between me and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 20. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be
deemed an original but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument. 
 Very truly yours,
