The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 5 SEACHANGE INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; in thousands, except share and per share data) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SeaChange International, Inc. and its subsidiaries. SeaChange believes that the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments), necessary for a fair statement of SeaChange's financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or any other future periods. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in SeaChange's Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year. 2. Revenue Recognition Revenues from sales of systems are recognized upon shipment provided title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, there is evidence of an arrangement, fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is probable. Installation, project management and training revenue is deferred and recognized as these services are performed. Revenue from technical support and maintenance is deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the related agreements, generally twelve months. Customers are billed for installation, project management, training and maintenance at the time of the product sale. Revenue from content fees, primarily movies, is recognized based on the volume of monthly purchases that are made by hotel guests. Revenue from product development contract services is recognized based on the time and materials incurred to complete the work. SeaChange's transactions frequently involve the sales of systems and services under multiple element arrangements. Systems sales always include one year of free technical support and maintenance services. Revenue under multiple element arrangements is allocated to all elements except systems based upon the fair value of those elements. The amounts allocated to training, project management, technical support and maintenance and content fees is based upon the price charged when these elements are sold separately and unaccompanied by the other elements. The amount allocated to installation revenue is based upon hourly rates and the estimated time required to complete the service. The amount allocated to systems is done on a residual method basis. Under this method, the total arrangement value is allocated first to undelivered elements, based on their fair values, with the remainder being allocated to systems revenue. Installation, training and project management services are not essential to the functionality of systems as these services do not alter the equipment's capabilities, are available from other vendors and the systems are standard products. 3. Earnings Per Share Below is a summary of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:

6. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, collectively referred to as derivatives, and for hedging activities. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", an amendment to SFAS No. 133. This accounting standard amended the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and hedging activities. To date SeaChange has not utilized derivative instruments or hedging activities and, therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact on SeaChange's financial position or results of operations. 7 SEACHANGE INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; in thousands, except share and per share data In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes the SEC's view in applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The application of the guidance in SAB 101 is required in SeaChange's fourth quarter of its current fiscal year. The effects of applying this guidance, if any, will be reported as a cumulative effect adjustment resulting in a change in accounting principle. SeaChange's evaluation of SAB 101 is not yet complete. 7. Segment Information SeaChange has three reportable segments: broadband systems, broadcast systems and services. The broadband systems segment provides products to digitally manage, store and distribute digital video for television operators and telecommunications companies. The broadcast systems segment provides products for the storage, archival, on-air playback of advertising and other video programming for the broadcast television industry. The service segment provides installation, training, product maintenance and technical support for all of the above systems and content which is distributed by the broadband product segment. SeaChange does not measure the assets allocated to the segments. SeaChange measures results of the segments based on the respective gross profits. There were no inter-segment sales or transfers. Long-lived assets are principally located in the United States. SeaChange has changed its reportable segments from the prior quarter and prior year-end and has reclassed prior period amounts to conform to these current segments. The following summarizes the revenues and cost of revenues by reportable segment:

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999 a limited number of customers each accounted for more than 10% of SeaChange's revenue. Individual customers accounted for 17% and 10% of revenues in the three months ended July 31, 2000; 25% and 11% of revenues in the three months ended July 31, 1999; 13%, 12%, 12% and 11% in the six months ended July 31, 2000; and 21% and 14% in the six months ended July 31, 1999. 8 SEACHANGE INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited; in thousands, except share and per share data) 8. Legal Proceedings On March 17, 2000, Beam Laser Systems, Inc. and Frank L. Beam instituted a claim (Civil Action No. 2:00-CV-195) in the federal courts in the Eastern District of Virginia against one of SeaChange's customers, Cox Communications, Inc. This claim was later amended by Beam Laser on June 16, 2000 to also include two related companies of Cox Communications: CableRep, Inc. and CoxCom, Inc. Beam Laser has asserted that the ad insertion technology, which includes SeaChange's spot ad insertion system, used by Cox Communications, CableRep and CoxCom infringes two of the patents held by Beam Laser (Patents No. 4,814,883 and 5,200,825). Beam Laser is seeking both an injunction and monetary damages from the defendants in that case. The defendants have made a counterclaim against Beam Laser seeking a declaration of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the two patents held by Beam Laser that are at question. On May 19, 2000, SeaChange filed a motion seeking to intervene in the action between its customer and Beam Laser, and to transfer the case to the District Court of Massachusetts. On June 23, 2000, the court granted SeaChange's intervention motion and deferred ruling on the issue of transfer. Also on June 23, 2000, SeaChange filed its Intervenor Complaint in the Virginia action seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability regarding the two patents of Beam Laser that are at question. In addition, SeaChange has agreed to indemnify its customer for claims brought against the customer that are related to the customer's use of SeaChange's products. This dispute has a scheduled trial date commencing April 2001. On June 13, 2000, SeaChange filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware a lawsuit against one of its competitors, nCube Corp., whereby SeaChange alleged that nCube's MediaCube-4 product infringed a patent held by SeaChange (Patent No. 5,862,312). In instituting the claim, SeaChange sought both a permanent injunction and damages in an unspecified amount. nCube made a counterclaim against SeaChange that the patent held by SeaChange was invalid and that nCube's MediaCube-4 product did not infringe SeaChange's patent. On June 14, 1999, SeaChange filed a defamation complaint against Jeffrey Putterman, Lathrop Investment Management, Inc. and Concurrent Computer Corporation in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas alleging that the defendants conspired to injure the business and reputation of SeaChange in the marketplace. The complaint further alleges that Mr. Putterman and Lathrop Investment Management, Inc. defamed SeaChange through false postings on an Internet message board. The complaint seeks unspecified amounts of compensatory and punitive damages. On June 14, 2000, Concurrent filed a counterclaim under seal against SeaChange seeking unspecified damages. These motions are currently pending and no trial date has been set. SeaChange cannot be certain of the outcome of the foregoing litigation, but does plan to oppose allegations against it and assert its claims against other parties vigorously. In addition, as these claims are in the early stages of discovery and certain claims for damages are as yet unspecified, SeaChange is unable to estimate the impact to its business, financial condition, and results of operations or cash flows. 9. Fiscal Year Change In April 2000, SeaChange's Board of Directors voted to change SeaChange's fiscal accounting year from December 31 to January 31, such that SeaChange's current fiscal year began on February 1, 2000 and will end on January 31, 2001. SeaChange has recast its financial statements to present the comparable prior year periods to conform to the current year fiscal periods. 10. Microsoft Investment On May 8, 2000, SeaChange and Microsoft Licensing, Inc. entered into a licensing and development agreement whereby Microsoft agreed to license to SeaChange certain technology to be used by SeaChange in connection with the development by SeaChange of plug-ins for the streaming media server software update currently being developed by Microsoft to its Windows NT/Windows 2000 operating system. Under the terms of the agreement, SeaChange is also entitled to use the Microsoft technology to enhance SeaChange's software to use the updated streaming media server software being developed by Microsoft. The parties intend that SeaChange will be able to promote and ship the enhanced SeaChange software as its primary streaming media system for all Microsoft Windows 2000-based SeaChange systems. In addition to the ability to use the technology owned by Microsoft and licensed to SeaChange pursuant to the licensing and development agreement Microsoft agreed pursuant to the terms of an investment term sheet, dated as of May 8, 2000, by and between SeaChange and Microsoft Corporation to purchase 277,162 shares of SeaChange's common stock for $10 million and to purchase 9 approximately $10 million of additional shares of SeaChange's common stock upon the satisfaction of certain commercial milestones. The initial share purchase for $10 million was completed by SeaChange and Microsoft on May 23, 2000. 10 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Factors That May Affect Future Results Any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that do not describe historical facts, including without limitation statements concerning expected revenues, earnings, product introductions and general market conditions, may constitute forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any such forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations, but are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. The factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from current expectations include the following: SeaChange's ability to integrate the operations of acquired subsidiaries; fluctuations in demand for SeaChange's products and services; SeaChange's ability to manage its growth; SeaChange's ability to develop, market and introduce new and enhanced products and services on a timely basis; the rapid technological change which characterizes SeaChange's markets; SeaChange's significant concentration of customers; SeaChange's dependence on certain sole source suppliers and third- party manufacturers; the risks associated with international sales as SeaChange expands its markets; and the ability of SeaChange to compete successfully in the future. Further information on factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is detailed in various filings made by SeaChange from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to, those appearing under the caption "Certain Risks That May Affect Our Business" in SeaChange's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of those factors. Overview SeaChange develops, manufactures and sells systems that automate the management and distribution of both short-form video streams, such as advertisements, and long-form video streams, such as movies or other feature presentations, each of which requires precise, accurate and continuous execution, and the related services and movie content to television operators, telecommunications companies and broadcast television companies. Revenues from sales of systems are recognized upon shipment provided title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, there is evidence of an arrangement, fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is probable. Installation, project management and training revenue is deferred and recognized as these services are performed. Revenue from technical support and maintenance is deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the related agreements, generally twelve months. Customers are billed for installation, project management, training and maintenance at the time of the product sale. Revenue from content fees, primarily movies, is recognized based on the volume of monthly purchases that are made by hotel guests. Revenue from product development contract services is recognized based on the time and materials incurred to complete the work. SeaChange's transactions frequently involve the sales of systems and services under multiple element arrangements. Systems sales always include one year of free technical support and maintenance services. Revenue under multiple element arrangements is allocated to all elements except systems based upon the fair value of those elements. The amounts allocated to training, project management, technical support and maintenance and content fees is based upon the price charged when these elements are sold separately and unaccompanied by the other elements. The amount allocated to installation revenue is based upon hourly rates and the estimated time required to complete the service. The amount allocated to systems is done on a residual method basis. Under this method, the total arrangement value is allocated first to undelivered elements, based on their fair values, with the remainder being allocated to systems revenue. Installation, training and project management services are not essential to the functionality of systems as these services do not alter the equipment's capabilities, are available from other vendors and the systems are standard products. SeaChange has experienced fluctuations in the number of orders being placed from quarter to quarter. SeaChange believes this is principally attributable to the buying patterns and budgeting cycles of television operators and broadcast companies, the primary buyers of digital advertising insertion systems and broadcast systems, respectively. SeaChange expects that there will continue to be fluctuations in the number and value of orders received and that at least in the near future, SeaChange's revenue and results of operations will reflect these fluctuations. SeaChange's results are significantly influenced by a number of factors, including SeaChange's pricing, the costs of materials used in SeaChange's products and the expansion of SeaChange's operations. SeaChange prices its products and services based upon its costs as well as in consideration of the prices of competitive products and services in the marketplace. The costs of SeaChange's products primarily consist of the costs of components and subassemblies that have generally declined over time. As a result of the growth of SeaChange's business, operating expenses of SeaChange have increased in the areas of research and development, selling and marketing, customer service and support and administration. 11 In April 2000, SeaChange's Board of Directors voted to change SeaChange's fiscal accounting year from December 31 to January 31, such that SeaChange's current fiscal year began on February 1, 2000 and will end on January 31, 2001. SeaChange has recast its financial statements to present the comparable prior year periods to conform to the current year fiscal periods. Three Months Ended July 31, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended July 31, 1999 Revenues Systems. SeaChange's systems revenues consist of sales within its broadband segment (primarily digital advertising insertion and interactive television systems) and its broadcast segment. Systems revenues increased 10% from $18.3 million in the three months ended July 31, 1999 to $20.1 million in the three months ended July 31, 2000. Revenues from the broadband segment, which accounted for 55% and 63% of total revenues in the three months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, decreased slightly from $14.2 million in 1999 to $14.1 million in 2000. SeaChange expects future growth, if any, in the broadband business to come primarily from its interactive television systems. Broadcast system segment revenues were $6.0 million in the three months ended July 31, 2000 compared to $4.1 million in the three months ended July 31, 1999. The 46% increase in broadcast revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2000 was primarily from the timing of receipt of customer orders and related shipments for new broadcast customers. SeaChange expects future growth, if any, in the broadcast business to come from both U.S. and international customers. Services. SeaChange's services revenues consist of fees for installation, training, project management, technical support and maintenance services, product development services and movie content fees. SeaChange's services revenues increased 27% to $5.5 million in three months ended July 31, 2000 from $4.4 million in the three months ended July 31, 1999. This increase in services revenues primarily resulted from the renewals of technical support and maintenance, price increases on certain technical support and maintenance, the impact of a growing installed base of systems and a higher revenue level for product development services. For the three-month period ended July 31, 2000, certain customers accounted for more than 10% of SeaChange's total revenues. Single customers accounted for 17% and 10% of total revenues in three months ended July 31, 2000 and 25% and 11% in the three months ended July 31, 1999 . Revenue from these customers was primarily in the broadband segment. SeaChange believes that revenues from current and future large customers will continue to represent a significant proportion of total revenues. International sales accounted for approximately 15% and 25% of total revenues in the three-month periods ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. SeaChange expects that international sales will remain a significant portion of SeaChange's business in the future. As of July 31, 2000, substantially all sales of SeaChange's products were made in United States dollars. SeaChange does not expect to change this practice in the foreseeable future. Therefore, SeaChange has not experienced, nor does it expect to experience in the near term, any material impact from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on its results of operations or liquidity. If this practice changes in the future, SeaChange will reevaluate its foreign currency exchange rate risk. Gross Profit Systems. Costs of systems revenues consist primarily of the cost of purchased components and subassemblies, labor and overhead relating to the final assembly and testing of complete systems and related expenses. Costs of systems revenues remained relatively flat at $10.9 million in the three months ended July 31, 2000 as compared to $10.7 million in the three months ended July 31, 1999 despite the increase in systems revenues as a result of improved manufacturing efficiencies and lower material costs. SeaChange expects cost of systems revenues for the interactive television products within the broadband segment to be higher as a percentage of revenues as the products are first deployed and to decrease as a percentage of revenues as the revenue level increases and SeaChange improves its manufacturing and material purchasing efficiencies. Systems gross profit as a percentage of systems revenues was 46% and 42% in the three months ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. The increase in systems gross profit in the three months ended July 31, 2000 was primarily due to lower material and other manufacturing costs as a percentage of systems revenue within the broadband segment and specifically for system revenues for the digital advertising insertion products. Gross profit for the broadband segment improved from 39% for the three months ended July 31, 1999 to 45% for the three months ended July 31, 2000 while broadcast segment gross profit decreased from 49% in the three months ended July 31, 1999 to 46% in the three months ended July 31, 2000. The improvement in gross margins for the broadband segment was the result of lower material and other manufacturing costs as a percentage of systems revenues. The decrease in broadcast segment gross profit was due to lower revenues on certain customer orders. Services. Costs of services revenues consist primarily of labor, materials and overhead relating to the installation, training, project management, product development, and technical support and maintenance services provided by SeaChange and costs associated with 12 providing movie content. Costs of services revenues increased 17% from $3.8 million in the three months ended July 31, 1999 to $4.5 million in the three months ended July 31, 2000, primarily as a result of increased revenues and the costs associated with SeaChange hiring and training additional service personnel to provide worldwide support for the growing installed base of broadband and broadcast systems and costs associated with providing movie content. Services gross profit as a percentage of services revenue was 19% in the three months ended July 31, 2000 and 12% in the three months ended July 31, 1999. Improvements in the services gross profit in the three months ended July 31, 2000 reflect the increase in the installed base of systems under maintenance, price increases on certain annual technical support and maintenance and higher product development revenues. SeaChange expects that it will continue to experience fluctuations in gross profit as a percentage of services revenue as a result of the timing of revenues from product and maintenance support and other services to support the growing installed base of systems and the timing of costs associated with SeaChange's ongoing investment required to build a service organization to support the installed base of systems and new products. Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation of development personnel, depreciation of equipment and an allocation of related facilities expenses. Research and development expenses increased 22% from $4.1 million in the three months ended July 31, 1999 to $5.0 million in the three months ended July 31, 2000. The increase in the dollar amount in the three months ended July 31, 2000 was primarily attributable to the hiring and contracting of additional development personnel which reflects SeaChange's continuing investment in new technology. SeaChange expects that research and development expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount as SeaChange continues its development of new technology and support of new and existing products. Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation expenses, including sales commissions, travel expenses and certain promotional expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased 32% to $2.6 million in the three months ended July 31, 2000 from $2.0 million in the three months ended July 31, 1999. The increase was primarily due to the hiring of additional sales personnel for SeaChange's product segments, increased sales commissions on higher revenues and higher marketing costs. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation of executive, finance, human resource and administrative personnel, legal and accounting services and an allocation of related facilities expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 35% from $1.3 million in the three-month period ended July 31, 1999 to $1.8 million in the three-month period ended July 31, 2000. This increase is primarily due to increased legal expenses associated with various litigation matters. Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net was approximately $1,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2000. Interest income, net was approximately $2,000 in the three months ended July 31, 1999. The increase in interest expense, net in the three months ended July 31, 2000 primarily resulted from an increase in interest expense on borrowings. Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes. SeaChange's effective tax rate was 32% in the three months ended July 31, 2000. The effective tax provision for the three months ended July 31, 2000 was favorably impacted by the utilization of research and development tax credits. SeaChange had net deferred tax assets of $3.4 million at July 31, 2000 and January 31, 2000 and $2.2 million at December 31, 1999. SeaChange has made the determination it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets. Six months Ended July 31, 2000 Compared to the Six months Ended July 31, 1999 Revenues Systems. SeaChange's systems revenues consist of sales within its broadband segment (primarily digital advertising insertion and interactive television systems) and its broadcast segment. Systems revenues increased 3% from $35.7 million in the six months ended July 31, 1999 to $36.9 million in the six months ended July 31, 2000. Revenues from the broadband segment, which accounted for 58% and 65% of total revenues in the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, decreased from $28.5 million in 1999 to $27.7 million in 2000. This decrease in broadband revenues is primarily attributable to a shift in the timing of orders by U.S. cable operators between quarters this year versus the previous year. SeaChange expects future growth, if any, in the broadband business to come primarily from its interactive television systems. Broadcast system segment revenues were $9.3 million in the six months ended July 31, 2000 compared to $7.2 million in the six months ended July 31, 1999. The 28% increase in broadcast revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2000 was primarily from the timing of receipt of customer orders and related shipments for new U.S. broadcast customers. SeaChange expects future growth, if any, in the broadcast business to come from both U.S. and international customers. Services. SeaChange's services revenues increased 34% to $11.0 million in six months ended July 31, 2000 from $8.2 million in the 13 six months ended July 31, 1999. This increase in services revenues primarily resulted from the renewals of technical support and maintenance, price increases on certain technical support and maintenance, the impact of a growing installed base of systems and a higher level of product development services. For the six month periods ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, a limited number of customers each accounted for more than 10% of SeaChange's total revenues. Single customers accounted for 13%, 12%, 12% and 11% of total revenues in six months ended July 31, 2000 and 21% and 14% of total revenues in the six months ended July 31, 1999. Revenue from these customers was primarily in the broadband segment. SeaChange believes that revenues from current and future large customers will continue to represent a significant proportion of total revenues. International sales accounted for approximately 15% and 20% of total revenues in the six-month periods ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. SeaChange expects that international sales will remain a significant portion of SeaChange's business in the future. As of July 31, 2000, substantially all sales of SeaChange's products were made in United States dollars. SeaChange does not expect to change this practice in the foreseeable future. Therefore, SeaChange has not experienced, nor does it expect to experience in the near term, any material impact from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on its results of operations or liquidity. If this practice changes in the future, SeaChange will reevaluate its foreign currency exchange rate risk. Gross Profit Systems. Costs of systems revenues decreased 3% to $20.2 million in the six months ended July 31, 2000 as compared to $20.8 million in the six months ended July 31, 1999. In the six months ended July 31, 2000, the cost of systems revenues decreased from the prior year despite the increase in systems revenues as a result of improved manufacturing efficiencies and lower material costs through improved purchasing efficiencies for both the digital advertising insertion and broadcast products. SeaChange expects the cost of systems revenues for the interactive television products within the broadband segment to be higher as a percentage of revenues as the products are first deployed and to decrease as a percentage of revenues as the revenue level increases and SeaChange improves its manufacturing and material purchasing efficiencies. Systems gross profit as a percentage of systems revenues was 45% and 42% in the six months ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. The increase in systems gross profit in the nine months ended July 31, 2000 was primarily due to lower material and other manufacturing costs as a percentage of systems revenue within the broadband segment and specifically for system revenues for the digital advertising insertion products. Gross profit for the broadband segment improved from 41% for the six months ended July 31, 1999 to 45% for the six months ended July 31, 2000 while gross profit for the broadcast segment decreased to 45% for the six months ended July 31, 2000 compared to 46% for the six months ended July 31, 1999. The improvement in gross margins for the broadband segment was the result of lower material and other manufacturing costs as a percentage of system revenues. The decrease in broadcast segment gross profit was due to lower revenues on certain customer orders. Services. Costs of services revenues increased 20% from $7.2 million in the six months ended July 31, 1999 to $8.7 million in the six months ended July 31, 2000, primarily as a result of increased revenues and the costs associated with SeaChange hiring and training additional service personnel to provide worldwide support for the growing installed base of broadband and broadcast systems and costs associated with providing movie content. Services gross profit as a percentage of services revenue was 21% in the six months ended July 31, 2000 and 12% in the six months ended July 31, 1999. Improvements in the services gross profit in the six months ended July 31, 2000 reflect the increase in the installed base of systems under maintenance, price increases on certain annual technical support and maintenance and higher product development revenues. SeaChange expects that it will continue to experience fluctuations in gross profit as a percentage of services revenue as a result of the timing of revenues from product and maintenance support and other services to support the growing installed base of systems and the timing of costs associated with SeaChange's ongoing investment required to build a service organization to support the installed base of systems and new products. Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased 12% from approximately $8.3 million in the six months ended July 31, 1999 to $9.4 million in the six months ended July 31, 2000. The increase in the dollar amount was primarily attributable to the hiring and contracting of additional development personnel which reflects SeaChange's continuing investment in new products. SeaChange expects that research and development expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount as SeaChange continues to focus on the development of new technology and support of new and existing products. Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased 24% from $4.1 million in the six months ended July 31, 1999 to $5.1 million in the six months ended July 31, 2000. This increase is primarily due to the hiring of additional sales personnel for SeaChange's broadcast and interactive television products, increased sales commissions on higher revenues and higher marketing expenses. 14 General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 21% from $2.7 million in the six months ended July 31, 1999 to $3.3 million in the six months ended July 31, 2000. This increase is primarily due to increased legal expenses associated with various litigation matters. Interest income, net. Interest income, net, was approximately $24,000 and $7,000 in the six months ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. The increase in interest income, net, primarily resulted from interest income earned on a higher invested cash and cash equivalents balance. Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes. SeaChange's effective tax rate was 32% in the six months ended July 31, 2000. The effective tax provision was favorably impacted by the utilization of research and development tax credits. Liquidity and Capital Resources SeaChange has financed its operations and capital expenditures primarily with the proceeds of SeaChange's common stock, borrowings and cash flows generated from operations. Cash and cash equivalents increased $9.2 million from $2.7 million at January 31, 2000 to $11.9 million at July 31, 2000. Working capital increased from approximately $21.0 million at January 31, 2000 to approximately $32.5 million at July 31, 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $226,000 for the six month period ended July 31, 2000 and $2.5 million for the six month period ended July 31, 1999. The net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended July 31, 2000 was the result of the net income adjusted for non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization of $2.3 million and changes in certain operating assets and liabilities. The significant net changes in operating assets and liabilities that used cash in operations included an increase in accounts receivable of $3.9 million, an increase in inventories of $2.4 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.0 million. Inventory levels increased during the period principally as a result of procurement of long lead components for the interactive television and broadcast products. SeaChange expects these inventory levels to decrease as revenues from both these products increase. SeaChange expects that the broadcast segment and the interactive television products within the broadband segment will continue to require a significant amount of cash to fund future product development, to manufacture and deploy customer test and demonstration equipment and to meet higher revenue levels in both product segments. These items that used cash in operations were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $3.3 million and an increase in customer deposits of $2.4 million. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $4.8 million and $900,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. Investment activity consisted primarily of capital expenditures related to construction to expand the current manufacturing facility and the acquisition of computer equipment, office furniture, and other capital equipment required to support the expansion and growth of the business. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $13.8 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. In the six months ended July 31, 2000, the cash provided by financing included $11.3 million received in connection with the issuance of common stock ($10 million of which was issued to Microsoft Corporation) and $3.2 million in borrowings under the equipment line of credit. Microsoft entered into an agreement with SeaChange to collaborate on extending Microsoft Windows Media Technologies from Broadband Internet delivery to cable and broadcast television systems. Concurrent with this agreement, Microsoft purchased 277,162 shares of SeaChange's common stock for $10 million. Microsoft has agreed to purchase additional shares of SeaChange's common stock based upon the achievement of mutually agreed upon development milestones including the development of software that meets specific streaming performance levels and the commercial release of an enhanced version of the software that will be used with Microsoft's Next Generation Media Server. During the same period, cash used in financing activities included approximately $750,000 in principal payments under SeaChange's equipment line of credit and capital lease obligations. In July 2000, SeaChange renewed its revolving line of credit and equipment line of credit with a bank. The revolving line of credit which expired in March 2000 was extended until March 2001 and borrowings under the facility increased to $7.5 million. The equipment line of credit which also expired in March 2000 was extended to provide SeaChange additional equipment financing of $4.0 million through March 2001. In addition, SeaChange entered into a $3 million line of credit facility with the Export-Import Bank of the United States which allows SeaChange to borrow money based upon eligible foreign customer account balances. This facility also expires in March 2001. Borrowings under all the lines of credit are secured by substantially all of SeaChange's assets. Loans made under the revolving line of credit would generally bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate plus 2% (9.05% at July 31, 2000). Loans under the EXIM line of credit bear interest as a rate per annum equal to the prime rate (9.5% at July 31, 2000). Loans made under the equipment line of credit bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the bank's base rate plus 1.0% (10.5% at July 31, 2000). The loan agreement relating to the lines of credit requires that SeaChange provide the bank with certain periodic financial 15 reports and comply with certain financial ratios including the maintenance of total liabilities, excluding deferred revenue, to net worth of at least .80 to 1.0. At July 31, 2000 SeaChange was in compliance with all covenants. As of July 31, 2000, there were no borrowings against the revolving line of credit and borrowings outstanding under the equipment line of credit were $4.7 million. SeaChange believes that existing funds together with available borrowings under the revolving line of credit and equipment line facility are adequate to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. SeaChange had no material capital expenditure commitments as of July 31, 2000. Effects of Inflation Management believes that financial results have not been significantly impacted by inflation and price changes. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, collectively referred to as derivatives, and for hedging activities. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", an amendment to SFAS No. 133. This accounting standard amended the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and hedging activities. To date SeaChange has not utilized derivative instruments or hedging activities and, therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact on SeaChange's financial position or results of operations. In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes the SEC's view in applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The application of the guidance in SAB 101 is required in SeaChange's fourth quarter of its current fiscal year. The effects of applying this guidance, if any, will be reported as a cumulative effect adjustment resulting in a change in accounting principle. SeaChange's evaluation of SAB 101 is not yet complete. ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk SeaChange faces exposure to financial market risks, including adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on SeaChange's financial results. SeaChange's primary exposure has been related to local currency revenue and operating expenses in Europe and Asia. Historically, SeaChange has not hedged specific currency exposures as gains and losses on foreign currency transactions have not been material to date. At July 31, 2000, SeaChange had $4,206,000 outstanding related to variable rate U.S. dollar denominated debt. The carrying value of these short-term borrowings approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. Assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the interest rate, interest expense on these short-term borrowings would increase by $44,000. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximates fair value at July 31, 2000 due to the short maturities of these instruments. SeaChange maintains investment portfolio holdings of various issuers, types, and maturities. SeaChange's cash and marketable securities include cash equivalents, which SeaChange considers investments to be purchased with original maturities of three months or less given the short maturities and investment grade quality of the portfolio holdings at July 31, 2000, a sharp rise in interest rates should not have a material adverse impact on the fair value of SeaChange's investment portfolio. As a result, SeaChange does not currently hedge these interest rate exposures. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings On March 17, 2000, Beam Laser Systems, Inc. and Frank L. Beam instituted a claim (Civil Action No. 2:00-CV-195) in the federal courts in the Eastern District of Virginia against one of SeaChange's customers, Cox Communications, Inc. This claim was later amended by Beam Laser on June 16, 2000 to also include two related companies of Cox Communications: CableRep, Inc. and CoxCom, Inc. Beam Laser has asserted that the ad insertion technology, which includes SeaChange's spot ad insertion system, used by Cox Communications, CableRep and CoxCom infringes two of the patents held by Beam Laser (Patents No. 4,814,883 and 16 5,200,825). Beam Laser is seeking both an injunction and monetary damages from the defendants in that case. The defendants have made a counterclaim against Beam Laser seeking a declaration of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the two patents held by Beam Laser that are at question. On May 19, 2000, SeaChange filed a motion seeking to intervene in the action between its customer and Beam Laser, and to transfer the case to the District Court of Massachusetts. On June 23, 2000, the court granted SeaChange's intervention motion and deferred ruling on the issue of transfer. Also on June 23, 2000, SeaChange filed its Intervenor Complaint in the Virginia action seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability regarding the two patents of Beam Laser that are at question. In addition, SeaChange has agreed to indemnify its customer for claims brought against the customer that are related to the customer's use of SeaChange's products. This dispute has a scheduled trial date commencing April 2001. On June 13, 2000, SeaChange filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware a lawsuit against one of its competitors, nCube Corp., whereby SeaChange alleged that nCube's MediaCube-4 product infringed a patent held by SeaChange (Patent No. 5,862,312). In instituting the claim, SeaChange sought both a permanent injunction and damages in an unspecified amount. nCube made a counterclaim against SeaChange that the patent held by SeaChange was invalid and that nCube's MediaCube-4 product did not infringe SeaChange's patent. On June 14, 1999, SeaChange filed a defamation complaint against Jeffrey Putterman, Lathrop Investment Management, Inc. and Concurrent Computer Corporation in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas alleging that the defendants conspired to injure the business and reputation of SeaChange in the marketplace. The complaint further alleges that Mr. Putterman and Lathrop Investment Management, Inc. defamed SeaChange through postings on an Internet message board. The complaint seeks unspecified amounts of compensatory and punitive damages. On June 14, 2000, Concurrent filed a counterclaim under seal against SeaChange seeking unspecified damages. These motions are currently pending and no trial date has been set. SeaChange cannot be certain of the outcome of the foregoing litigation, but does plan to oppose allegations against it and assert its claims against other parties vigorously. In addition, as these claims are in the early stages of discovery and certain claims for damages are as yet unspecified, SeaChange is unable to estimate the impact to its business, financial condition, and results of operations or cash flows. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds On May 23, 2000, SeaChange sold two hundred seventy-seven thousand one hundred sixty-two (277,162) shares of its common stock to Microsoft Corporation in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,004.96. This sale was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the rules promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act as SeaChange did not make any general solicitation relating to the sale of these shares and Microsoft represented to SeaChange that it was an accredited investor, as such term in defined pursuant to Rule 501 of Regulation D of the rules promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act. SeaChange intends to use the proceeds from this sale for general working capital purposes. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. The annual meeting of the security holders of SeaChange was held on May 24, 2000. Matters considered and acted upon the meeting included: the election of one (1) member to SeaChange's Board of Directors, to serve for a three-year term as a Class I Director; the ratification and approval of SeaChange's Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan, including an increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder from 2,925,000 to 4,800,000 shares; and the approval of an amendment of SeaChange's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 the number of authorized shares of SeaChange's common stock. William C. Styslinger, III was elected as the Class I Director of SeaChange with 18,560,286 shares of common stock voted for and 444,823 shares of common stock withheld from the election of Mr. Styslinger. In addition, after the annual meeting, the following persons continued to serve as directors of SeaChange: Martin R. Hoffmann, Paul H. Saunders and Carmine Vona. With respect to the ratification and approval of SeaChange's Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan, including an increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder from 2,925,000 to 4,800,000 shares, 9,429,538 shares of common stock voted for, 3,604,800 shares of common stock voted against, and 5,035 shares of Common Stock abstained from such vote. With respect to the approval of an amendment of SeaChange's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 the number of authorized shares of SeaChange's common stock, 18,140,225 shares of common stock 17 voted for, 861,849 shares of common stock voted against, and 3,035 shares of common stock abstained from such vote.

Bank's determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (b) Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any Loans relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Supplement in respect of any Loans (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office); or -16- (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of Bank (including any Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Base Rate"): or (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Supplement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities). Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of the Loan Agreement which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 4. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 4 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Loans or of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (c) Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon the request of Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the sole good faith opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, costs or expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by Borrower to borrow a Loan on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing hereunder. (d) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the Interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any respect or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would, have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a "Parent") as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) If at any time Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that: (i) the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Rate Loan, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, and upon the giving of such notice Bank's obligation to make the LIBOR Rate Loans shall terminate, unless Bank and the Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate Loans shall terminate, unless Bank and the Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans. If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any Loans, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable In connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 4(a)). -17- EXHIBIT A --------- LIBOR RATE LOAN BORROWING CERTIFICATE The undersigned hereby certifies as follows: I, ____________________________, am the duly elected and acting ___________ of Seachange International, Inc.

One of our customers is subject to a lawsuit whereby a third party has made a claim of patent infringement against our customer, which claim is believed to relate at least in part to such customer's use of our products. In connection with this matter, on Tuesday, May 16, 2000, we filed in the federal courts in Boston a complaint (Civil Action No. 00-CV-10954-MEL) seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement regarding U.S. Patents Nos. 4,814,883 and 5,200,825, and on Friday, May 19, 2000 we filed a motion in Civil Action No. 00-CV-195, in the federal courts in the Eastern District of Virginia seeking to intervene in that action between our customer and the third party. In addition, our customer has requested that we indemnify it for claims brought against our customer that are related to the customer's use of our products and we are currently in the process of negotiating such an indemnification agreement. We do not believe that the charge of infringement against our customer based on use of our products has any merit and we plan to oppose the allegations vigorously. 1 3.8 Capitalization. On April 14, 2000, the Company's board of directors authorized, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. This amendment will be voted on by the Company's stockholders at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Wednesday, May 24, 2000. In addition, on April 14, 2000, the Company's board of directors authorized, subject to stockholder approval, an increase from 2,925,000 to 4,800,000 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company's Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan.

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to and in satisfaction of Section 5.5 of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have meanings assigned to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement. In rendering our opinion, we have examined and relied upon originals or certified copies of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws, each as amended, of the Company, the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement together constitute the "Transaction Documents"), the certificate for the shares of Common Stock to be issued and delivered under the Stock Purchase Agreement, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. As to all matters of fact relevant to this opinion, we have assumed the completeness and accuracy of, and are relying upon, the statements set forth in certificates of public officials, officers of the Company and the representations and warranties of the Company and the other parties thereto set forth in the Transaction Documents, and have undertaken no independent verification of such facts. In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, whether certified or not, and the completeness of the corporate minute books and other record books of the Company. For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed compliance by you with all laws and regulations relating to your authority to enter into the Transaction Documents and to effect the transactions contemplated thereby, we have assumed that you have all requisite power and authority and have taken all action necessary for you to enter the Transaction Documents and to effect such transactions contemplated thereby, and we have assumed that each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by you, and constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of you. 4 Any reference to "our knowledge" or to matters "known to us" or "of which we have knowledge," or any variation thereof, shall mean the actual knowledge, but not including any constructive or imputed notice of any information, of attorneys in our firm who regularly perform services for the Company without any independent investigation, except for inquiry of officers of the Company. This opinion is based upon our knowledge of the law and facts as of the date hereof and assumes no event will take place in the future which would affect the opinions set forth herein. We assume no duty to communicate with you with respect to any change in law or facts which comes to our attention hereafter. Our opinion in paragraph 1 below as to due incorporation, valid existence and good standing of the Company is based solely on a certificate received from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and such opinion is limited accordingly and is rendered on the date of such certificate. All opinions herein contained with respect to the enforceability of documents and instruments are qualified to the extent that: (a) the availability of equitable remedies, including without limitation, specific enforcement and injunctive relief, is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought; and (b) the enforceability of certain terms provided in the Transaction Documents may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally as at the time in effect, (ii) general principles of equity and the discretion of a court in granting equitable remedies (whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity), or (iii) public policy. In addition, we express no opinion as to (i) waivers or provisions relating to delay or omission of enforcement of remedies, (ii) provisions dealing with the effect of invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of the Transaction Documents on the validity or enforceability of any other provision thereof, (iii) the effect of the rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, (iv) compliance with, or non- contravention of, state securities laws, (v) provisions relating to choice of law, (vi) anti-trust laws or regulations, (vii) anti-fraud laws or regulations, or (viii) the validity or enforceability of the indemnification and contribution provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. Furthermore, with respect to our opinions in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below as to the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we assume compliance by the Company at such time with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents are within the corporate power of the Company and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a 5 valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. 3. Except as set forth in Section 3.6 to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company require no consent, approval or action by or in respect of, or filing with, any third party or governmental body, agency, official or authority. 4. The execution and delivery of the Stock Purchase Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement and the compliance with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement by the Company, will not (a) contravene any provision of the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as amended, or (b) contravene or conflict with or constitute a violation of any provision of any law, regulation, judgment, injunction, order or decree known to us that is currently binding upon or applicable to the Company. 5. The shares of Common Stock of the Company to be issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement will, upon payment therefor at the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are not subject to any statutory, or to our knowledge, contractual, preemptive rights. We are members of the bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and have not made an independent review of the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than those of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the federal securities laws of the United States of America, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL"). With respect to any and all opinions rendered herein, to the ---- extent such opinions would otherwise purport to opine on matters governed by laws other than the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the DGCL and the federal securities laws of the United States of America, we have assumed with your consent that such laws are identical in all respects to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Accordingly, we express no opinion herein with respect to the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than those of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the federal securities laws of the United States of America, and the DGCL. For the purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that the facts and law governing the performance by the Company under the Transaction Documents will be identical to the facts and law governing such performance as of the date of this opinion. 6 The opinions herein expressed are solely for the benefit and information of, and may be relied upon solely by you and no other person shall be entitled to rely upon the opinions herein expressed.

We are providing this opinion to you at the request of Company pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Purchase Agreement. Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used in this opinion letter are defined as set forth in the Agreement or the Accord (see below). This opinion letter is governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, the Legal Opinion Accord and the accompanying commentary and technical notes as published in The Business Lawyer, Volume 47, No. 1, November 1991 (the "Accord"), except as modified in this letter. As a consequence, it is subject to a number of assumptions, qualifications, exceptions, definitions, limitations on coverage and other limitations, all as more particularly described in the Accord, and this opinion letter should be read in conjunction therewith. The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the federal law of the United States, the law of the State of Washington and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware all as limited by the Accord. In addition to the assumptions contained in the Accord, we have assumed that the facts and law governing the future performance by Microsoft and Company of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents will be identical to the facts and law governing such performance as of the date of this opinion. We have also relied upon the representations and warranties of Microsoft and Company contained in the Transaction Documents as to the factual matters covered therein. 8 Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. Microsoft has been duly incorporated, and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Washington, with corporate power to enter into the Transaction Documents, and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. 2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Microsoft, and the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Microsoft. 3. The Transaction Documents constitute the legally valid and binding obligations of Microsoft enforceable against Microsoft in accordance with their respective terms. 4. Microsoft's execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations on or prior to the date of this opinion under, the Transaction Documents do not (i) violate Microsoft's articles of incorporation, or (ii) violate, breach, or result in a default under, any existing obligation of or restriction on Microsoft under any other agreement included as an exhibit to Microsoft's most recent annual report on Form 10-K, except any violation which individually or in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the business condition of Microsoft or materially impair or restrict Microsoft's power to perform its obligations as contemplated under the Transaction Documents. 5. The execution and delivery by Microsoft of, and performance of its obligations on or prior to the date of this opinion under, the Transaction Documents do not violate any Washington or federal statute, rule or regulation or Delaware corporate statute that we have, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable to Microsoft or to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 6. No order, consent, permit or approval of any Washington or federal governmental authority that we have, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable to Microsoft or to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents is required on the part of Microsoft for the execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations on or prior to the date of this opinion under, the Transaction Documents, except for such as have been obtained. The General Qualifications (which include the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Exception, the Equitable Principles Limitation and the Other Common Qualifications) of the Accord apply to the above opinions. Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This opinion is being furnished to you in connection with the execution and delivery by Microsoft of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated therein and may not be relied upon by any other party or for any other purpose without our prior written consent. 9 Very truly yours, Preston Gates & Ellis LLP By Richard B. Dodd 10 EX-10.4 5 0005.txt REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 10.4 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of this 23rd day of May, 2000, between SeaChange International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Microsoft Corporation, a Washington corporation (the "Purchaser"). WHEREAS, the Purchaser intends to purchase shares of Common Stock, par value, $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 23, 200O (the "Purchase Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement requires that the Company enter into this Agreement with the Purchaser; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows: 1. Demand Registration. If, after the date of this Agreement the Purchaser ------------------- shall request the Company in writing to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), any or all of the shares of the Common Stock acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the shares of such Common Stock so registrable are referred to as the "Subject Stock"), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Subject Stock to be registered as soon as reasonably practicable so as to permit the sale thereof, and in connection therewith shall prepare and file a Form S-3 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act to effect such registration; provided, however, such request shall (i) express the intention of the Purchaser to offer or cause the offering of the Subject Stock for distribution, (ii) describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale thereof, and (iii) contain the undertaking of the Purchaser to provide all such information and materials and take all such action as may be required in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements of the SEC and to obtain any desired acceleration of the effective date of such registration statement. In the event that Form S-3 is not then available, the registration statement shall be filed on the successor to Form S- 3 or if there is no clear successor form, or if the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3 or a successor form, then the registration statement shall be filed using such form as may be available for the proposed distribution by the Purchaser with which it is least burdensome for the Company to comply. The Company agrees not to grant to any other person registration rights pursuant to which such person would have the right to register shares of Common Stock on a registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to the exercise of Purchaser's rights under this Agreement. Subject to the limitations in Section 2 and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 Purchaser may make no more than two such requests, provided that a second request shall not be made prior to six months after the termination of the distribution made pursuant to the first registration statement and neither request shall be for less than 25% of the shares acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. 2. Obligations of the Company. -------------------------- (a) Whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Subject Stock under the Securities Act, the Company shall (i) prepare and, as soon as reasonably practicable, file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to the shares of Subject Stock, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to remain effective until the earlier of (A) the sale of the shares of Subject Stock so registered, (B) the -1- withdrawal at the request of Purchaser of such shares from such registration statement or (C) the ability of the Purchaser to sell within a single three month period pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act all of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and then held by Purchaser; (ii) subject to paragraph (b) below, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably necessary to make and to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities proposed to be registered pursuant to such registration statement until the earlier of (A), (B) or (C) in (i) above; and (iii) take all such other action reasonably necessary to permit the shares of Subject Stock held by the Purchaser to be registered and disposed of in accordance with the method of disposition described herein. (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, by delivery of written notice to the Purchaser (a "Suspension Notice"), stating which one or more of the following limitations shall apply to the Purchaser, the Company may (1) postpone effecting a registration under this Agreement or (2) require the Purchaser to refrain from disposing of Subject Stock under the registration, in each case for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding an aggregate of 90 days in any one year period (which period may not be extended or renewed). The Company may postpone effecting a registration or require the Purchaser to refrain from disposing of Subject Stock under the registration, if (1) the Company in good faith determines that such registration or disposition would materially impede, delay or interfere with any material financing, offer or sale of equity securities or debt securities of the Company, acquisition, disposition or other material transaction by the Company or any of its material subsidiaries, (2) an investment banking firm of recognized national standing shall advise the Company in writing that effecting the disposition by such person of Subject Stock would materially and adversely affect an offering of equity securities of the Company, by the Company for its own account the preparation of which had then been commenced, or (3) the Company in good faith determines that the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which during the period specified in such notice the Company reasonably believes would not be in the best interests of the Company; provided that the Company may not take any action pursuant to this Section with respect to any of the limitations on dispositions specified in clause (2) for a period of time in excess of 90 days in any one year period. (c) In connection with any registration statement, the following provisions shall apply: (1) The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, a copy of any registration statement, and each amendment thereof and each amendment or supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and shall use its reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the SEC, such comments as the Purchaser and its counsel reasonably may propose. (2) The Company shall take such action as may be necessary so that: (i) any registration statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto (and each report or other document incorporated therein by reference) complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the respective rules and regulations thereunder, and (ii) any registration statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, 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. -2- (3) (A) The Company shall advise the Purchaser and, if requested by the Purchaser, confirm such advice in writing: (i) when a registration statement and any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when the registration statement or any post- effective amendment thereto has become effective; and (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information. (B) The Company shall advise the Purchaser and, if requested by Purchaser, confirm such advice in writing of: (i) the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; and (ii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose. (4) The Company shall notify the Purchaser at any time when a Prospectus with respect to the Subject Stock is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus or any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, but subject to Sections 2(b) and 4, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Subject Stock, such Prospectus will not contain any 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. As promptly as practicable after the issuance by the SEC of an order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, but subject to Sections 2(b) and 4, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment. (5) The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the registration statement relating to the Subject Stock, without charge, such number of copies of such registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all reports, other documents and exhibits (including those incorporated by reference) as the Purchaser shall reasonably request. (6) The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of any prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus and any amended or supplemented prospectus) relating to the Subject Stock as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to effect the offering and sale of the shares of Subject Stock to be offered and sold, but only while the Company shall be required under the provisions hereof to cause the -3- registration statement to remain current, and the Company consents (except during the continuance of any event described in Sections 2(b) or 4 to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by the Purchaser in connection with the offering and sale of the Subject Stock covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. (7) Prior to any offering of Subject Stock pursuant to any registration statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the shares of Subject Stock covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as the Purchaser shall reasonably request, maintain any such registration or qualification current until the earlier of (i) the sale of the shares of Subject Stock so registered, (ii) termination pursuant to Section 4 or (iii) the withdrawal of Subject Stock from the registration statement, and do any and all other acts and things either reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Purchaser to consummate the public sale or other disposition of the shares of Subject Stock in domestic jurisdictions where the Purchaser desires to effect such sales or other disposition; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action that would subject it to the general jurisdiction of the courts of any jurisdiction in which it is not so subject or to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where the Company is not so qualified. (8) In connection with any offering of shares of Subject Stock registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall (x) furnish the Purchaser, at the Company's expense, on a timely basis with certificates free of any restrictive legends representing ownership of the shares of Subject Stock being sold in such denominations and registered in such names as the Purchaser shall request and (y) instruct the transfer agent and registrar of the Subject Stock to release any stop transfer orders with respect to the shares of Subject Stock. (9) The Company shall make generally available to its security holders or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the registration statement an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 1l(a) of the Securities Act. (10) The Company shall, if requested, promptly include or incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a registration statement, such information as the Purchaser or any underwriters reasonably request to be included therein in accordance with Section 3(b) and to which the Company does not reasonably object and shall make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after they are notified of the matters to be included or incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment. (11) [Intentionally Omitted] (12) The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Subject Stock to be admitted for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or other stock exchange or trading system on which the Common Stock primarily trades on or prior to the effective date of any registration statement hereunder. (13) Any obligation of the Company under this Agreement, including any obligation to use its "best efforts," "reasonable best efforts" or take such actions as are reasonably required, shall not preclude the Company from taking any action or omitting -4- to take any action (other than omitting to file necessary amendments, post- effective amendments and supplements if a Suspension Notice or Termination Notice is not then in effect pursuant to Section 2(b) or 4, respectively) that would result in the Company issuing a Suspension Notice or Termination Notice pursuant to Section 2(b) or 4, respectively. (d) With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Subject Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to: (1) make all filings with the SEC required by Rule 144(c) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act to permit the sale of the Subject Stock by any holder thereof to satisfy the conditions of Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force). (2) during the term of this Agreement, to furnish to the Purchaser upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Company as the Purchaser may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing the Purchaser to sell any such securities without registration. 3. Obligations of the Purchaser. ---------------------------- (a) The Purchaser shall, (i) offer to sell or otherwise distribute the Subject Stock in reliance upon a registration contemplated by this Agreement only after a registration statement shall have been filed with the SEC, (ii) sell or otherwise distribute the Subject Stock in reliance upon such registration only if a registration statement is then effective under the Securities Act, (iii) not sell or otherwise distribute any of the Subject Stock during any period specified in a Suspension Notice delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2(b) or after receiving a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 4 (until the Purchaser shall have received written notice from the Company that the registration is again effective), (iv) distribute the Subject Stock only in accordance with the manner of distribution contemplated by the prospectus and (v) report to the Company distributions made by the Purchaser of shares of the Subject Stock pursuant to the prospectus. The Purchaser, by participating in a registration pursuant to this Agreement, acknowledges that the remedies of the Company at law for failure by the Purchaser to comply with the undertaking contained in this paragraph (a) would be inadequate and that the failure would not be adequately compensable in damages and would cause irreparable harm to the Company, and therefore agrees that undertakings made by the Purchaser in this paragraph (a) may be specifically enforced. (b) The Purchaser shall furnish to the Company in writing promptly upon the request of the Company the information regarding the Purchaser, the contemplated distribution of the Subject Stock and the other information regarding the proposed distribution by the Purchaser that shall be required in connection with the proposed distribution by the applicable securities laws of the United States of America and the states thereof in which the Subject Stock are contemplated to be distributed. The information furnished by the Purchaser shall be certified by the Purchaser and shall be stated to be specifically for use in connection with the registration. (c) The obligations of the Company to maintain a registration statement are conditioned upon the Purchaser of the Subject Stock furnishing to the Company the information -5- in respect of the distribution of the Subject Stock that may be required under this Agreement to be furnished by the Purchaser to the Company. 4. Termination Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to ---------------------- the contrary, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company (which opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Purchaser), there shall have arisen any legal impediment to the offering of the Subject Stock pursuant to this Agreement or if any legal action or administrative proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened or any other claim shall have been made relating to the registration or the offer made by the related prospectus or against any of the parties involved in the offering, the Company may at any time upon written notice to the Purchaser (a "Termination Notice") terminate the effectiveness of the related Registration Statement; provided that, promptly after those matters -------- shall be resolved to the satisfaction of counsel for the Company, then, the Company shall cause the registration of the Subject Stock formerly covered by the Registration Statement that were removed from registration by the action of the Company. 5. Expenses.

(b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. In the case of each offering -------------------------------- registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees, in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6(a) of this Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, its directors and those officers of the Company who shall have signed any such registration statement with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement or any preliminary prospectus (as amended or as supplemented, if amended or supplemented as aforesaid) or prospectus contained in such registration statement (as amended or as supplemented, if amended or supplemented as aforesaid), if such statement or omission shall have been made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such registration statement or any preliminary prospectus or prospectus contained in such registration statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto. (c) Notice of Claims. Each party indemnified under Section 6(a) or ---------------- Section 6(b) of this Agreement shall, promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, enclosing a copy of all papers served on such indemnified party. The omission of any indemnified party so to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action which it may have to such indemnified party on account of the indemnity agreement contained in Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) of this Agreement, unless the indemnifying party was prejudiced by such omission, and in no event shall relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to such indemnified party. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, that if any indemnified party or parties reasonably determine that there may be legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party or that representation of such indemnifying party and any indemnified party by the same counsel would present a conflict of interest, then such indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume such defense. If an indemnifying party is not entitled to assume the defense of such action as a result of the proviso to the preceding sentence, counsel for such indemnifying party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of such indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnified party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of such indemnified party or parties. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of an action in accordance with and as permitted by the provisions of this paragraph, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) of this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to local counsel) separate from its own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any -7- one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding, the indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified persons from and against any loss or liability by reason of the settlement or judgment. (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided for in this Section 6 is for any reason held to be unavailable to the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and Purchaser shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity incurred by the Company and Purchaser, as incurred; provided that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person that was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. As between the Company, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, such parties shall contribute to such aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by or on behalf of the Purchaser, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the relevant equitable considerations. For purposes of this Section 6(d), each person who controls the Company or the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its written consent. (e) The Company may require, as a condition to entering into any underwriting agreement with respect to the registration of Subject Stock, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement, severally and not jointly, to comply with the provisions of paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 6. (f) The obligations of the Company and Purchaser under this Section 6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Subject Stock in a registration statement. 7. Notices.
