RE:     NEOMEDIA
TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to
that certain Agreement (the “Agreement”) of even date herewith by and between NeoMedia Technologies, Inc, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and YA Global Investments, L.P. (the “Buyer”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company shall sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase from the Company, convertible debentures
(the “Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000.00, plus accrued interest, which are convertible
into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at the Buyer’s
discretion. The Company has also issued to the Buyer warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at the Buyer’s
discretion (the “Warrant”). These instructions relate to the following stock or proposed stock issuances or
transfers:

 

		1.	Shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of the Debenture (“Conversion
Shares”) plus the shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of accrued interest into Common Stock
(the “Interest Shares”).

 

		2.	Up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Buyer upon exercise of the Warrant (the
“Warrant Shares”).

 

This letter shall serve as our irrevocable
authorization and direction to WorldWide Stock Transfer, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”) to do the following:

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		1.	Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Interest Shares.

 

		a.	Instructions Applicable to Transfer Agent. With respect to the Conversion Shares, Warrant
Shares and the Interest Shares, the Transfer Agent shall issue the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and the Interest Shares to
the Buyer from time to time upon delivery to the Transfer Agent of a properly completed and duly executed Conversion Notice (the
“Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Debenture, or a properly completed and duly executed
Exercise Notice (the “Exercise Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Warrant, delivered to the Transfer
Agent by the Company or on behalf of the Company by David Gonzalez, Esq. as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).
Upon receipt of a Conversion Notice or an Exercise Notice, the Transfer Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practical thereafter,
(i) issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice or the
Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Buyer or its designees, for the number of shares of Common Stock
to which the Buyer shall be entitled as set forth in the Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, or (ii) provided the Transfer Agent
is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the
request of the Buyer, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Buyer shall be entitled to the Buyer’s
or its designees’ balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system,
provided that the Buyer causes its bank or broker to initiate the DWAC transaction, and further provided that a certificate representing
such shares of Common Stock would not be required to bear a legend restricting transfer.

 

		b.	The Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Buyer that certificates representing
the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Interest Shares shall not bear any legend restricting transfer and should not be subject
to any stop-transfer restrictions and shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company; provided
that Buyer confirm to the Transfer Agent and the Company that the Conversion Shares, Warrant
Shares and Interest Shares have been or will be sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement for such securities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and that the Buyer has complied, or will comply, with all
applicable prospectus delivery requirements; and further provided that counsel to the Company
delivers (i) the Notice of Effectiveness set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto and (ii) an opinion of counsel in the form
set forth in Exhibit II attached hereto, and that if the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and the Interest Shares are not
registered for sale under the Act, then the certificates for the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Interest Shares shall bear
the following legend:

 

“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED
IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED
UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		c.	In the event that counsel to the Company fails or refuses to render an opinion as required to issue
the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares or the Interest Shares in accordance with the preceding paragraph (either with or without
restrictive legends, as applicable), then the Company irrevocably and expressly authorizes counsel to the Buyer to render such
opinion. The Transfer Agent shall accept and be entitled to rely on such opinion for the purposes of issuing the Conversion Shares,
the Warrant Shares or the Interest Shares.

 

		d.	Upon the Company’s or the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a properly completed Conversion
Notice or Exercise Notice (along with evidence that the Aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) has been delivered
to the Company), the Company or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, shall, within one Trading Day thereafter, send to the Transfer
Agent the Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, as the case may be, which shall constitute an irrevocable instruction to the Transfer
Agent to process such Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms of these instructions. For purposes hereof
“Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Nasdaq Market is open for customary trading.

 

		2.	All Shares.

 

		a.	The Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Escrow Agent as a duly authorized agent of the Company
for the purposes of authorizing the Transfer Agent to process issuances and transfers specifically contemplated herein.

 

		b.	The Transfer Agent shall rely exclusively on the Conversion Notice or the Exercise Notice, and
shall have no liability for relying on such instructions. Any Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice delivered hereunder shall constitute
an irrevocable instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such notice or notices in accordance with the terms thereof. Such notice
or notices may be transmitted to the Transfer Agent by facsimile or any commercially reasonable method.

 

		c.	The Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Buyer that no instructions other than
as contemplated herein will be given to Transfer Agent by the Company with respect to the matters referenced herein. The Company
hereby authorizes the Transfer Agent, and the Transfer Agent shall be obligated, to disregard any contrary instructions received
by or on behalf of the Company.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

		3.	Certain Notice Regarding the Escrow Agent. The Company and the Transfer Agent hereby acknowledge
that the Escrow Agent is general counsel to the Buyer, a partner of the general partner of the Buyer and counsel to the Buyer in
connection with the transactions contemplated and referred herein. The Company and the Transfer Agent agree that in the event of
any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any transaction or agreement contemplated
and referred herein, the Escrow Agent shall be permitted to continue to represent the Buyer and neither the Company nor the Transfer
Agent will seek to disqualify such counsel.

 

		4.	Company Acknowledgments.

 

		a.	The Company hereby agrees that it shall not replace the Transfer Agent as the Company’s transfer
agent without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

 

		b.	The Company agrees that in the event that the Transfer Agent resigns as the Company’s transfer
agent the Company shall engage a suitable replacement transfer agent that will agree to serve as transfer agent and to be bound
by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions within 5 business days from the effectiveness of such
resignation.

 

		c.	The Company acknowledges that the Buyer is relying on the representations and covenants made by
the Company hereunder and are a material inducement to the Buyer purchasing the Debenture pursuant to the Agreement. The Company
further acknowledges that without such representations and covenants of the Company made hereunder, the Buyer would not purchase
the Debenture.

 

		d.	The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach
by a party hereto of any provision hereof, the Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate
remedy if these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company, including, without limitation, the attempted termination of the agency relationship created by
this instrument, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach,
without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance
of the provisions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.

 

		5.	Transfer Agent Binding Disclaimer: In consideration for the Transfer
Agent agreeing and attesting to all terms in the above referenced Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, in particular any kind
of lawsuit and or action that may arise from the Buyer’s instructing the Transfer Agent to issue shares based on the legality
of the Agreement whereas the Company is denying the request in full or partially for whatever reason, the Company, Buyer and any
other third party involved agree for ourselves, our successors, legal representatives and assigns, at all times to defend, indemnify
and save the Transfer Agent, their successors and assigns, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, from actions,
suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel
fees, and other expenses of every nature and character that arises from this action.

RE:      NEOMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are counsel to NeoMedia
Technologies, Inc., (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with its filing of a registration
statement covering the resale of certain shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock,
par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) issued upon the conversion of the secured convertible debenture
purchased by YA Global Investments, LP (the “Buyer”) pursuant to that certain Agreement, dated as of April_,
2012 (the “Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company and the Buyer. On _______, 20__, the Company filed
a Registration Statement (File No. ___-_________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the sale of the Conversion Shares.

 

In connection with
the foregoing, we advise the Transfer Agent that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has
entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at ____ P.M. on __________, 20__ and we have
no knowledge that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending
before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Conversion Shares are available for sale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration
Statement.

 

The statement made
herein that “we have no knowledge” is based solely on information actually known to those attorneys currently practicing
with this firm and engaged in the representation of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

 

Very truly yours,

RE:      NEOMEDIA
TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel
to NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of an offering of up to ____________ shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued or to be issued to the selling stockholders (the
“Selling Stockholders”) listed in the selling stockholders table at page __ of the final prospectus, a copy of which
is attached hereto as Exhibit A. We understand that the certificates representing the Common Stock currently contain a legend (the
“Securities Act Legend”) stating that the Common Stock represented by such certificates may not be sold or transferred
without registration under the Act.

 

The sale of the Common
Stock by the Selling Stockholders has been registered under the Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC File
No. 333-______), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on ________ __, 200_ (the “Registration
Statement”). The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Act by the Commission on ________ __, 200_. Therefore,
the Common Stock identified in the Registration Statement, including those shares issued upon exercise of the Convertible Debentures
and Warrants referenced in Exhibit A, may, upon receipt of confirmation from the Selling Stockholder that the Common Stock has
been or will be sold only pursuant to the Registration Statement and that the Selling Stockholder has complied, or will comply,
with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, be issued or reissued, as applicable, without bearing the Securities Act
Legend.

 

Very truly yours,

ProspectusCHANGE-IN-CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of April 30, 2012,
by and between SeaChange International, Inc., with its principal place of business at 50 Nagog Park, Acton, MA 01720 (the “Company”),
and Raghu Rau (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company considers it essential
to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continuous employment of key management personnel, and recognizes that,
as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a change in control may exist and that such possibility,
and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the distraction or departure of management
personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company
has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the Executive’s continued attention and
dedication to the Executive’s assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances arising
from the possibility of a change in control of the Company, although no such change is presently known to be contemplated.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants and agreements hereinafter contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(A) the target bonus shall be pro rated for the period of time elapsed in the Company’s fiscal year prior to the occurrence

is eligible with respect to such fiscal year, with the amount payable pursuant to Section 2.2(a) in respect thereof to be determined
as follows:  (I) the target bonus shall be pro rated for the period of time elapsed in the Company’s fiscal year prior
to the occurrence of the Covered Termination; and (II) the actual bonus relative to such adjusted target bonus shall be determined

foregoing event(s) shall constitute a Change in Control unless such event(s) constitute a “change in the ownership or effective
control” or a change “in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets,” in each case within the meaning
of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and any regulations and other guidance in effect from time-to-time thereunder including,

to be employed by the Employer and becomes employed by a new employer involved in the Change in Control; provided that such new
employer shall be bound by this Agreement as if it were the Employer hereunder with respect to the Executive. It is expressly understood
that no Covered Termination shall be deemed to have occurred merely because, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executive
ceases to be employed by the Employer and does not become employed by a successor to the Employer after the Change in Control if
the successor makes an offer to employ the Executive on terms and conditions which, if imposed by the Employer, would not give
the Executive a basis on which to terminate employment for Good Reason.

“Employer” shall mean the Company
(if and for so long as the Executive is employed thereby) and each Subsidiary which may now or hereafter employ the Executive or,
where the context so requires, the Company and such Subsidiaries collectively. A subsidiary which ceases to be, directly or indirectly,

(other than in connection with and as an integral part of a series of transactions resulting in a Change in Control) shall, automatically
and without any further action, cease to be (or be part of) the Employer for purposes hereof.

 

“Good Reason” shall mean, without
the express written consent of the Executive, the occurrence after a Change in Control of any of the following circumstances, unless

Base Salary as in effect immediately before the Change in Control;

(iv) the Company’s requiring

by the Company of this Agreement.

 

“Notice of Termination” shall
mean a notice given by the Employer or Executive, as applicable, which shall indicate the date of termination and the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed
to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provisions so indicated.

 

“Person” shall have the meaning
ascribed thereto by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof (except
that such term shall not include (i) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, no payment or benefit otherwise provided for under or by virtue of the foregoing provisions
of this Agreement shall be paid or otherwise made available unless, on or before the Payment Date, the Executive has executed and
not revoked a valid, binding and irrevocable general release of claims in favor of the Employer, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Employer. The failure by the Executive to timely deliver (and not revoke) a valid and binding release shall result
in the forfeiture of all payments and benefits under this Agreement.

2.4 The Company and the Executive acknowledge
and agree that the provisions for payments and benefits or reimbursements in Sections 2.2 and 3.1 of this Agreement (the “Deferred
Compensation”) may constitute a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” that is subject to Section 409A. The
Company and the Executive intend to administer the Deferred Compensation in a manner that at all times is either exempt from or
complies in form and operation with the applicable limitations and standards of Section 409A. Therefore, notwithstanding anything
else contained herein, the following limitations are expressly imposed with respect to the Deferred Compensation.

 

(a) The Executive’s entitlement to receive
or begin receiving payment of the Deferred Compensation is conditioned upon the Executive’s separation from service. For
this purpose, the Executive shall have separated from service if and only if his level of services to the Company and its affiliates
decreases and is expected to remain at a level equal to twenty percent (20%) or less of the average level of services performed
by the Executive during the immediately preceding 36-month period.

 

(b) If the Executive is a “specified
employee” as defined in Section 409A with respect to the Company upon his separation from service, then any payment required
hereunder, to the extent such payment would constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A that is payable on account
of the Executive’s separation from service, shall be deferred and shall not be paid to the Executive until the date that
is the later of (1) the date such payment is due under the terms of this Agreement, or (2) 6 months and 1 day following the date
of the Executive’s separation from service.

 

(c) It is intended that each installment,
if any of the payments and benefits constituting Deferred Compensation shall be treated as a separate “payment” for
purposes of Section 409A. Neither the Company nor the Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any
such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A.

 

(d) All reimbursements and in-kind benefits
provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent
that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A. All expenses or other reimbursements that are taxable
income to the Executive shall in no event be paid later than the last day of the second taxable year following the taxable year
in which the Executive separated from service. With regard to any provision herein for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind
benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A, the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation
or exchange for another benefit, the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable
year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year, provided
that the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect
and such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which
the expense was incurred.

Section 3

PARACHUTE TAX PROVISIONS

 

3.1If all, or any portion, of the payments
and benefits provided under this Agreement, if any, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive
receives or is entitled to receive from the Company or its affiliates, (the “Total Payments”) would constitute an excess
“parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (whether or not under an existing plan, arrangement
or other agreement) and would result in the imposition on the Executive of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise
Tax”), then the Executive shall be paid or provided, as the case may be, the Total Payments unless the after-tax amount that
would be retained by the Executive (after taking into account any and all applicable federal, state and local excise, income or
other taxes payable by the Executive, including the Excise Tax) is less than the after-tax amount that would be retained by the
Executive (after taking into account any and all applicable federal, state and local excise, income or other taxes payable by the
Executive, including the Excise Tax) if the Executive were instead to be paid or provided, as the case may be, the maximum amount
of the Total Payments that the Executive could receive without being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Payments”),
in which case the Executive shall be entitled only to the Reduced Payments.

 

3.2Except as may otherwise be agreed
to by the Company and the Executive, the amount or amounts (if any) payable under this Section 3 shall be determined, at the sole
cost of the Company, by the Company’s independent auditors (who served in such capacity immediately prior to the Change in
Control), whose determination or determinations shall be final and binding on all parties. The Executive hereby agrees to utilize
such determination or determinations, as applicable, in filing all of the Executive’s tax returns with respect to the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. If such independent auditors refuse to make the required determinations, then such determinations
shall be made by a comparable independent accounting firm of national reputation reasonably selected by the Company. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Executive hereby agrees to be bound by and comply with the provisions of this Section
3.2.

 

Section 4

MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1(a) The Company shall require any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to perform under the terms of this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company and its affiliates would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place (provided
that such a requirement to perform which arises by operation of law shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements for such an express
assumption and agreement), and in such event the Company (as constituted prior to such succession) shall have no further obligation
under or with respect to this Agreement. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement with respect to the Executive
prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Executive
and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Employer (as constituted prior to such succession) in the same amount
and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled to hereunder were the Executive’s employment terminated for Good
Reason following a Change in Control, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession
becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company
as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees (or is otherwise required)
to perform this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 4.1(a) shall be deemed to cause any event or condition which would otherwise
constitute a Change in Control not to constitute a Change in Control.

    	 

    	- 9 -

    

 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.1(a), the
Company shall remain liable to the Executive upon a Covered Termination after a Change in Control if the Executive is not offered
continuing employment by a successor to the Employer on a basis which would not constitute a termination for Good Reason.

 

(c) This Agreement, and the Executive’s
and the Company’s rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Executive or, except as provided in Section
4.1(a), the Company, respectively; any purported assignment by the Executive or the Company in violation hereof shall be null and
void.

 

(d) The terms of this Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, permitted successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees of the Executive. If the Executive shall die while an amount would still be payable
to the Executive hereunder if they had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such
designee, the Executive’s estate.

 

4.2Except as expressly provided in
Section 2.2, the Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment or benefit provided for under
this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will any payments or benefits hereunder be subject to offset in the
event the Executive does mitigate.

 

4.3The Employer shall pay all reasonable
legal fees and expenses incurred in a legal proceeding by the Executive in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided
by this Agreement. Such payments are to be made within twenty days after the Executive’s request for payment accompanied
with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Employer reasonably may require; provided that if the Executive institutes
a proceeding and the judge or other decision-maker presiding over the proceeding affirmatively finds that the Executive has failed
to prevail substantially, the Executive shall pay Executive’s own costs and expenses (and, if applicable, return any amounts
theretofore paid on the Executive’s behalf under this Section 4.3).

 4.4For the purposes of this Agreement,
notice and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
when hand delivered or mailed by United States certified or registered express mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
if to the Executive, addressed to the Executive at his or her respective address on file with the Company; if to the Company, addressed
to SeaChange International, Inc., 50 Nagog Park, Acton, MA 01720, and directed to the attention of its Chief Financial Officer;
if to the Board, addressed to the Board of Directors, c/o 50 Nagog Park, Acton, MA 01720, and directed to the Company’s Chief
Financial Officer; or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the others in writing in accordance herewith, except
that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

 

4.5Unless otherwise determined by
the Employer in an applicable plan or arrangement, no amounts payable hereunder upon a Covered Termination shall be deemed salary
or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any employee benefit plan or other arrangement of the Employer for
the benefit of its employees.

 

4.6This Agreement is the exclusive
arrangement with the Executive applicable to payments and benefits in connection with a change in control of the Company (whether
or not a Change in Control), and supersedes any prior arrangements involving the Company or its predecessors or affiliates relating
to changes in control (whether or not Changes in Control). This Agreement shall not limit any right of the Executive to receive
any payments or benefits under an employee benefit or executive compensation plan of the Employer, initially adopted as of or after
the date hereof, which are expressly contingent thereunder upon the occurrence of a change in control (including, but not limited
to, the acceleration of any rights or benefits thereunder); provided that in no event shall the Executive be entitled to any payment
or benefit under this Agreement which duplicates a payment or benefit received or receivable by the Executive under any severance
or similar plan or policy of the Employer, and in any such case the Executive shall only be entitled to receive the greater of
the two payments.

 

4.7Any payments hereunder shall be
made out of the general assets of the Employer. The Executive shall have the status of general unsecured creditor of the Employer,
and this Agreement constitutes a mere promise by the Employer to make payments under this Agreement in the future as and to the
extent provided herein.

 

4.8Nothing in this Agreement shall
confer on the Executive any right to continue in the employ of the Employer or interfere in any way (other than by virtue of requiring
payments or benefits as may expressly be provided herein) with the right of the Employer to terminate the Executive’s employment
at any time.

 

4.9The Employer shall be entitled
to withhold from any payments or deemed payments any amount of tax withholding required by law.

 

4.10Any controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach of this Agreement that is not resolved by the Employer and the Executive shall
be submitted to arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts, in accordance with Massachusetts law and the procedures of the American Arbitration
Association. The determination of the arbitrator(s) shall be conclusive and binding on the Employer and Executive and judgment
may be entered on the arbitrator(s)’ award in any court having jurisdiction.

 

    	 

    	- 11 -

    

 

4.11This Agreement may be amended,
superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the parties
or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power
or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power
or privilege nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege.

 

4.12The invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement which
shall remain in full force and effect.
