Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 23, 2005, SeaChange International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Share Capital of ON Demand Group Limited (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) providing for the purchase by the Company of the 72.4% of the outstanding capital stock (the “ODG Shares”) of the ON Demand Group Limited, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the United Kingham (“ODG”) which were not then owned by the Company. ODG provides interactive media service deployment and development, content management and television production. Since 2002, the Company invested approximately $3,100,000 to acquire a 27.6% interest in ODG and has worked with ODG to develop video-on-demand opportunities world-wide. The closing of the purchase of the ODG Shares occurred on September 23, 2005. A copy of the Share Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

The Company paid the shareholders of ODG approximately $13,400,000 in cash for the ODG shares at the closing. In addition, under earnout provisions in the Share Purchase Agreement, if ODG meets certain annual performance goals over the period through January 31, 2008, the Company will pay an additional $9,000,000 (based on the exchange rate in effect at the date of this report) in contingent consideration, including up to 50% payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, with the remainder payable in cash. The contingent consideration will be reduced or increased based upon ODG’s actual performance relative to the performance goals, with the maximum aggregate contingent consideration being approximately $11,400,000. At the time of the closing, ODG had in excess of $6,000,000 in cash in its bank account. The terms of this transaction are the result of arm’s length negotiation among the parties.

ODG has approximately 50 employees, located in London, England. All of the employees are expected to continue as employees of ODG. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into employment agreements with three of the officers of ODG, including Andrew Birchall and Anthony Kelly who were elected Senior Vice Presidents of the Company by the Board of Directors on September 29, 2005. A copy of the Executive Service Agreements between On Demand Management Limited and each of Andrew Birchall and Anthony Kelly dated as of September 23, 2005 are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2.

Mr. Birchall will continue to be Chairman of ODG, and in that role he will promote ODG’s content management services in on demand applications for cable and telco companies, principally in Europe and South America. Over the next three years, Mr. Birchall’s hours and duties with ODG and the Company will gradually be reduced with a view to retirement in September 2008. Mr. Birchall’s Executive Services Agreement provides for payment of a salary to Mr. Birchall at a monthly rate of 13,833 pounds while he remains a full time employee, reduced to 5,500 pounds for the third year. The Executive Services Agreement also provides for a pension payment or equivalent equal to 10% of his salary, a car allowance of 5,000 pounds and a discretionary bonus of up to 50% of his basic salary as well as customary benefits, including vacation and sick pay pro-rated to his level of service. Termination of the Executive Services Agreement requires twelve months notice by either party, which notice can not be given until eighteen months after the date of the Executive Services Agreement.

(c) after the end of the Third Earn Out Period then no Accelerated Earn Out Consideration Shares will be payable either.

3.4 Any payments made by a Seller to the Buyer in respect of any Claim shall be treated as a reduction of the Buyer’s cost of acquisition of the Shares and as an adjustment to the consideration received by that Seller for the Shares sold by it.

3.5 The Consideration Shares (if any) shall be allotted and issued by the Buyer to the Sellers free from all Encumbrances other than any restriction arising under applicable securities laws.

3.6 For the avoidance of doubt if the Film Flex Option Exercise Date occurs after the Film Flex Longstop Date the Buyer shall be under no obligation to allot and issue any Film Flex Consideration Shares to the Sellers, and the Buyer shall be under no further obligation to the Sellers relating (directly or indirectly) to the Film Flex Agreement.

4 COMPLETION

4.1 Completion shall take place at the offices of the Sellers’ Solicitors at 10 Upper Bank Street, London E14 5JJ on the Completion Date when the Sellers shall procure that all of the obligations set out in this clause and Schedule 3 are fulfilled.

4.2 When the Sellers have complied fully with the provisions of Schedule 3, the Buyer shall pay the Cash Payment by electronic funds transfer to the Sellers’ Solicitors (the Sellers’ Solicitors being hereby authorised by the Sellers to receive the Cash Payment) and payment of the Cash Payment to the Sellers’ Solicitors shall constitute a good discharge to the Buyer in respect of its obligation to pay the Cash Payment.

4.3 Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall be obliged to complete the sale and purchase of any of the Shares unless the sale and purchase of all the Shares is completed simultaneously.

4.4 If the Sellers fail to comply in all material respects with their obligations set out in Schedule 3 on the date set for Completion the Buyer may (in addition to and without prejudice to all other rights or remedies available to the Buyer):

(a) defer Completion to a date (the “Deferred Completion Date”) not more than 28 days after the date set for Completion (in which case the provisions of this clause 4 (except for this clause 4.4(a)) shall apply to Completion as so deferred); or

(b) proceed to Completion so far as practicable; or

(c) terminate this agreement.

9

4.5 If this agreement is terminated prior to Completion by the Buyer in accordance with clause 4.4(c), all rights and obligations of the parties under this agreement shall cease immediately on termination (except for those set out in this clause and clauses 12 and 13 which shall continue in full force and effect) and any termination of this agreement shall not affect the rights and obligations of any party which have accrued before termination.

4.6 If Completion is deferred by the Buyer in accordance with clause 4.4(a) and the sale and purchase of the Shares is subsequently completed on the Deferred Completion Date, the Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any right or remedy available to it in respect of the delay (whether under clause 4.4 or otherwise).

4.7 The Sellers shall take reasonable steps to ensure that there is no unusual movement in Cash between the date of the Bank Reconciliation Statement and Completion other than in the ordinary course of business.

5 EARN-OUT

5.1 The amount of the Earn Out Consideration payable (if any) shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 7 and is payable in accordance with the provisions of clauses 3.1 (b) to 3.1 (e).

5.2 The Buyer undertakes to each of the Sellers that during the Earn Out Period it will not do or omit to do anything the sole or main purpose of which is to decrease the amount of Earn Out Consideration otherwise payable to the Sellers save as agreed in writing between the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

5.3 The GNAP Benchmarks shall be as follows:

(a) GNAP of the Group for the First Earn Out Period is a loss of £176,000;

(b) GNAP of the Group for the Second Earn Out Period of £1,359,000; and

(c) GNAP of the Group for the Third Earn Out Period of £1,657,000.

Should there occur a fundamental change, (for example the change to a content aggregation business), subsequent to the Completion Date in either the nature of business undertaken by the Company or a fundamental change in the assumptions underlying the Financial Plan, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall negotiate in good faith such adjustment to the GNAP Benchmarks that reflects such change.

5.4 If the actual GNAP for the First Earn Out Period is a smaller loss than the GNAP Benchmark (as envisaged by clause 5.3(a)) or represents a profit for the First Earn Out Period then the Second Cash Payment shall be increased by 50 per cent. of the difference between the GNAP Benchmark loss and the actual GNAP for the First Earn Out Period.

5.5 If the actual GNAP loss for the First Earn Out Period exceeds the GNAP Benchmark loss for the First Earn Out Period then the Second Cash Payment shall be reduced by 100 per cent. of the difference between the GNAP Benchmark loss and the actual GNAP for the First Earn Out Period, provided that in no circumstances shall the Second Cash Payment be reduced to less than zero.

5.6 If actual GNAP for the Second Earn Out Period is not less than the GNAP Benchmark for the Second Earn Out Period then the Third Cash Payment shall be increased by 50 per cent. of the difference between the GNAP Benchmark and the actual GNAP for the Second Earn Out Period.

10

5.7 Subject to the provisions of Clause 5.8 if the actual GNAP for the Second Earn Out Period is less than the Benchmark GNAP for the Second Earn Out Period then the Third Cash Payment shall be reduced by 50 per cent. of the difference between the GNAP Benchmark and the actual GNAP for the Second Earn Out Period, provided that in no circumstances shall the Third Cash Payment be reduced to less than zero.

5.8 In addition to the adjustment contemplated by Clause 5.7 if the actual GNAP for the Second Earn Out Period constitutes a loss then the Third Cash Payment shall also be reduced by an additional 50 per cent. of the loss, provided that in no circumstances shall the Third Cash Payment be reduced to less than zero.

5.9 If actual GNAP for the Third Earn Out Period is not less than the GNAP Benchmark for the Third Earn Out Period then the consideration amount upon which the number of Earn Out Consideration Shares (“Earn Out Consideration Shares Amount”) is determined shall be increased by 50 per cent. of the difference between the GNAP Benchmark and the actual GNAP for the Third Earn Out Period.

5.10 Subject to the provisions of Clause 5.11, if the actual GNAP for the Third Earn Out Period is less than the Benchmark GNAP for the Third Earn Out Period then the Earn Out Consideration Shares Amount shall be reduced by 50 per cent. of the difference between the GNAP Benchmark and the actual GNAP for the Third Earn Out Period, provided that in no circumstances shall the Earn Out Consideration Shares Amount be reduced to less than zero.

5.11 In addition to the adjustment contemplated by Clause 5.10 if the actual GNAP for the Third Earn Out Period constitutes a loss then the Earn Out Consideration Shares Amount shall also be reduced by an additional 50 per cent. of the loss, provided that in no circumstances shall the Third Cash Payment be reduced to less than zero.

5.12 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement in no case shall the aggregate of the Second Cash Payment, the Third Cash Payment and the Earn Out Shares Consideration Amount together with any Accelerated Earn Out Consideration exceed the Maximum Earn Out.

5.13 In the event that under applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations in effect at the time of issuance of the Earn Out Consideration Shares, if any, and the date of issuance for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144 under the Securities Act is not 31 January 2008 or earlier, the Buyer will undertake, within 10 days after the later of (i) the issuance of the Earn Out Consideration Shares or (ii) the filing by the Buyer of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 January 2008, to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other applicable form) relating to the resale of the Earn Out Consideration Shares, and the Buyer will use all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for a period ending one year from the date of issuance of the Earn Out Consideration Shares.

6 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT

6.1 If the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer or their respective accountants are unable to reach agreement on the calculation of GNAP for the purposes of clause 5 the matter in dispute may, on the application of either the Sellers’ Representative or the Buyer, be referred to the decision of an independent chartered accountant (the “Independent Accountant”).

11

6.2 The Independent Accountant shall be appointed (in default of agreement as to such appointment between the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer within 10 Business Days of the application referred to in clause 6.1 above) by the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales on the application of either the Sellers’ Representative or the Buyer.

6.3 The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, the Arbitration Act 1996 shall not apply and his decision shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Sellers, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer for all the purposes of this agreement. The costs of the Independent Accountant shall be apportioned between the Sellers and the Buyer as the Independent Accountant shall decide but each party shall be responsible for its own costs of presenting its case to the Independent Accountant.

6.4 The Sellers and the Buyer shall provide such assistance to the other and to their respective accountants and (if relevant) the Independent Accountant as may be reasonably required to enable the matter in dispute to be finalised and determined. The Buyer and the Sellers (if relevant) will procure that the Company will afford to the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ accountants and the Buyer and the Buyer’s Accountants respectively and to the Independent Accountant all facilities and access to their respective premises, papers, books, accounts, records and returns as may be reasonably required for the purpose of investigating the matter in dispute, preparing and presenting their case and of determining the GNAP.

(b) the Consideration Shares to be issued to such Seller hereunder may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state (of the United States) securities laws, or pursuant to a valid exemption from such registration requirements, and the Buyer shall have no obligation to record any proposed transfer of such shares on its stock transfer records unless the shares to be transferred have been registered under the Securities Act or the request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer that no such registration is required;

(c) except as provided in clause 5.13, the Buyer shall have no obligation to register the Consideration Shares under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

12

(d) each certificate representing the Consideration Shares will bear the following restrictive legend until the Consideration Shares are registered under the Securities Act:

On the date thereof and at the time of issue to Sellers of the Consideration Shares or payment of the Second Cash Payment or the Third Cash Payment, each of the Sellers severally warrants to the Buyer (for themselves only) the warranties set out in Part D of Schedule 4.

7.3 The Warranties are qualified to the extent of those matters fairly disclosed in the Disclosure Letter or any of the documents annexed to it (and for this purpose “fairly disclosed” means disclosed in such manner and in such detail as to enable the Buyer to make an informed and accurate assessment of the matter concerned) save that notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement or the Disclosure Letter disclosure shall only be permitted or accepted against the warranties contained in Part A to Schedule 4 if such disclosure is specifically disclosed against such paragraph in the Disclosure Letter.

7.4 Each of the Warranties is separate and independent and shall not be restricted or limited by the terms of any other Warranty, the Tax Covenant or by any other term of this agreement and the Buyer shall have a separate claim and right of action in respect of every breach of each such Warranty.

7.5 Where any statement in Schedule 4 is qualified as being made “so far as the Warrantors are aware” or “to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Warrantors” or any similar expression that statement shall be deemed to include the knowledge, information and belief which the Warrantors would have if the Warrantors had made all reasonable due enquiries of the directors (other than William Fiedler and William Styslinger), company secretary, general managers, financial controller and financial personnel of each Group Company to establish the truth and accuracy of that statement.

7.6 The Warrantors acknowledge that the Buyer has entered into this agreement in reliance upon the Warranties.

7.7 The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that none of the Sellers gives any warranty, representation or undertaking as to the accuracy or completeness of any information (including, without limitation, any of the forecasts, estimates, projections, statements of interest or statements of opinion) provided to the Buyer or any of its advisers or agents (howsoever provided) other than as is specifically referred to in any Warranty.

7.8 The Warrantors undertake to the Buyer not to make or pursue any claim against any Group Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers in connection with, or arising out of, the Warranties, the Disclosure Letter and/or the Tax

13

Covenant or any information supplied to or on behalf of the Sellers or the Sellers’ professional advisers or agents on or prior to the date of this agreement or in connection with this agreement and/or the documents entered into pursuant to this agreement, save in the case of fraud by any such officer, employee, agent or adviser in which event nothing in this clause shall prevent the Sellers from bringing a claim against such individuals solely in their personal capacity.

(a) the Buyer has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and any other agreement referred to herein to which it is or has agreed to become a party (together the “Buyer Documents”);

(a) of a fact or circumstance which gives rise to or which would or might give rise to a Claim;

(b) that there has been a breach of any other provision of this agreement; or

7.12 The Warrantors shall each (severally as to half the amount of any Loss as hereinafter described) fully and promptly indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless (for itself and as trustee for the Company) against any Losses which may be suffered or incurred by, or made, or brought against the Buyer or the Company arising (directly or indirectly) out of or in connection with any actual claim made to the Buyer or the Company:

21.1 Each party shall be responsible for its own and the Company’s legal, accountancy and other costs and expenses incurred in relation to the sale and purchase of the Shares and the Sellers confirm that no cost or expense of whatsoever nature relating to the sale and purchase of the Shares has been or is to be borne by any Group Company.

21.2 For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to the provisions of Schedule 8 (Tax Covenant) the Buyer shall be responsible for all stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax and other similar taxes in connection with this agreement, the registration of the Shares and each document referred to in this agreement.

22.1 If any party defaults in the payment when due of any sum payable under this agreement (whether payable under its terms or by agreement or by a court order or otherwise) the liability of that party shall be increased to include interest on such sum from the date when such payment was due until the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at a rate per annum of one per cent above the base rate from time to time of Barclays Bank plc. Such interest shall accrue from day-to-day and shall be compounded annually.

23 SET-OFF

23.1 Subject to clause 23.3 the Buyer shall be entitled but not obliged at any time or times to set off any liability of the Sellers to the Buyer against any liability of the Buyer to the Sellers (in either case howsoever arising save in respect of future claims which have not arisen at the date of set-off and irrespective of the currency of its domination) and may for such purpose convert or exchange any currency at the Relevant Exchange Rate.

23.2 Any exercise by the Buyer of its rights under this clause shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to the Buyer under this agreement or otherwise.

23.3 Such set-off shall take effect as follows:

(a) Before exercising any right of set-off, the Buyer shall provide in good faith written notice (the “Set-Off Notice”) to the Sellers’ Representative specifying in reasonable detail the basis of such set-off and the amount which in the Buyer’s reasonable opinion represents the likely amount of any award or settlement in the Buyer’s favour, together with the associated reasonable costs and other out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred by the Buyer in bringing such claim against the Sellers (the “Set-Off Amount”). The Buyer acknowledges that the Set-Off Amount in any Set-Off Notice may not when aggregated with all other Set-Off Amounts in any other Set-Off Notices exceed the aggregate amount in respect of which the Warrantors would be liable pursuant to paragraph 1.2 of Schedule 5 as at the date of such Set-Off Notice but, for the avoidance of doubt

22

the Buyer shall not be prevented from serving further Set-Off Notices relating to the same subject matter at a later date (but only to the extent that the relevant Set-Off Amount has not already been the subject of any right of set-off), in the event that the aggregate amount in respect of which the Warrantors would be liable pursuant to paragraph 1.2 of Schedule 5 is increased;

(b) In the event that the Sellers’ Representative disputes the Buyer’s right of set-off and/or any provision set out in the Set-Off Notice, the Sellers’ Representative shall have 10 Business Days from receipt of the Set-Off Notice in which to dispute the same and shall promptly provide written notice to the Buyer specifying in reasonable detail the basis on which he (on behalf of the Sellers or Warrantors as the case may be) opposes the Buyer’s claim (the “Dispute Notice”);

(c) Following receipt of a Dispute Notice by the Buyer, the parties agree to use all reasonable commercial efforts to resolve such dispute promptly. In the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement within 10 Business Days of receipt of the relevant Dispute Notice the matters in dispute shall be referred for resolution on the application of either the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative to an independent Queens Counsel in England and Wales of at least 10 years standing and experience in commercial law, or in the case of a Tax Warranty or claim under the Tax Covenant, tax law) (the “Counsel”) to be appointed by agreement between the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative within 10 Business Days of the request by either party to so agree or, in default of agreement, selected by the Chairman for the time being of the Bar Council or his duly appointed deputy.

(d) Counsel shall determine whether on the balance of probability the Buyer’s Claim will be successful and that the request to make a set-off is bona fide and (to the extent it is so determined) whether the amount claimed by the Buyer in respect of the Claim or other liability pursuant to the terms of this agreement is a reasonable estimate by the Buyer of the Sellers’ (or Warrantors’ as the case may be) liability, in which case the amount so claimed shall thereafter constitute the Set-Off Amount. If Counsel decides that the amount claimed by the Buyer is insufficient or excessive, Counsel shall determine what is a reasonable estimate. and such estimate shall thereafter constitute the Set-Off Amount.

(e) The parties shall use all reasonable efforts to provide Counsel promptly on request such information and such explanations as Counsel may reasonably request and in a timely fashion as is necessary to enable Counsel to determine the existence and amount of the Claim or other liability pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

(f) In giving his decision Counsel shall declare the Set-Off Amount (if any) that should be retained by the Buyer pending formal resolution of the matter the subject of the Set-Off Notice.

(g) The costs of Counsel pursuant to the provisions of this clause 23.3 shall be paid as Counsel may direct. Any decision of Counsel shall be final and binding upon the parties (in relation to the issue of set-off alone and save in the case of manifest error) and shall be given by him as expert and not as arbitrator.

23.4 If the Buyer issues a Set-Off Notice (in accordance with the provisions of clause 23.1), it shall be under no obligation to pay any Consideration to the Sellers’ (or Warrantors’ as the case may be) under this Agreement (provided such Set-Off Notice has been issued in good faith) until such time as the parties shall have agreed or Counsel shall have determined the existence and amount of that liability in accordance with the provisions of clause 23.3.

23

23.5 If Counsel determines that on the balance of probability the Buyer’s Claim will not be successful, the Buyer will forthwith pay to the Sellers any amount which would have been payable but for the issue of the Set-Off Notice, together with interest from the date such amount became payable at the rate set out in clause 22.

24 GENERAL

24.1 All provisions of this agreement which are capable of performance after Completion, which are capable of having or taking effect following Completion and all representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, agreements and other undertakings contained in this agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding Completion and Completion shall not constitute a waiver of any of the Buyer’s rights.

24.2 Time shall be of the essence as regards any time, date or period (whether as originally fixed or as properly altered) under this agreement.

24.3 No purported variation of this agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and is duly executed by each party.

24.4 Each provision of this agreement is severable and distinct from the others. If any such provision is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed not to form part of this agreement but this shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this agreement.

24.5 This agreement may be entered into in the form of two or more counterparts each executed by one or more of the parties but, taken together, they shall constitute one and the same instrument.

24.6 The rights and remedies provided in this agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

24.7 The restrictions contained in clauses 12 and 13 shall continue in full force and effect without limit in time and whether or not this agreement is terminated.

25.1 This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

25.2 The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England for all purposes relating to this agreement.

(iii) in order to comply with a written request of the Sellers, or

7 CONDUCT OF TAX CLAIMS

7.1 If the Buyer or a Group Company shall become aware of any matter that may give rise to any Tax Claim (including any Assessment) which is likely to give rise to a liability on the Covenantors under this Schedule, the Buyer shall, (but not as a condition precedent to the liability of the Covenantors under this Schedule), give written notice to the Covenantors in accordance with clause 17 (Notices) of this agreement.

7.2 As regards any Assessment or matter that may give rise to a Tax Claim and subject to the provisions of paragraph 7.3 the Buyer shall take or shall procure that the Group Company shall take such action as the Covenantors may by written notice give to the Buyer reasonably request to cause the Assessment or matter that may give rise to a Tax Claim to be withdrawn or to dispute, resist, appeal against, compromise or defend the Assessment or matter that may give rise to a Tax Claim and any determination or adjudication in respect thereof or to apply to postpone (so far as legally possible) the payment of any Tax pending the determination of any appeal but subject to the Buyer and the Group Company being indemnified to their reasonable satisfaction by the Covenantors against all reasonable costs and expenses (including any additional Liability to Taxation), which may be incurred by the Buyer or the Group Company, and Provided that:

(a) any request made by the Covenantors pursuant to this paragraph 7 shall be made within a reasonable time of receipt by the Covenantors of any notice given by the Buyer to the Covenantors in accordance with paragraph 7.1 and if, on the expiry of a period of 21 Business Days commencing on the date of receipt by the Covenantors of such notice, they shall not have given to the Buyer notice of their intentions in respect of the Assessment or matter that may give rise to a Tax Claim, or shall not have provided satisfactory indemnities in accordance with this paragraph 7.2, the Buyer and the Group Company shall be entitled to satisfy or settle or deal with the Assessment or matter that may give rise to a Tax Claim on such terms as they shall in their discretion reasonably think fit but without prejudice to their rights and remedies under this Schedule;

(c) neither the Buyer nor the Group Company shall be obliged to take any action which it reasonably considers to be materially prejudicial to the business or Taxation affairs of any company in the group of companies of which the Buyer is for the time being a member.

7.3 If in respect of any Assessment or matter that may give rise to a Tax Claim it appears to the Buyer that the Covenantors (or any of them) or the Group Company whilst it was under the Covenantors’ control have committed acts or omissions which may constitute fraud, then the preceding provisions of this paragraph 7 shall not take effect and the Buyer and the Group Company shall (without prejudice to its right under this Schedule

74

or the agreement) be free to pay or settle such Assessment or matter that may give rise to a Tax Claim or take such other action in connection therewith as it may in its absolute discretion decide.

7.4 Paragraph 5.2 of Schedule 5 shall apply to this Schedule 8, as if the reference in that paragraph to “paragraph 5.1” was a reference to “paragraph 7.4 of this Schedule 8”.

9.1 Where:

(a) an amount of Tax paid by the relevant Group Company has resulted in a Relief (the “Relevant Relief”); and

(b) the Covenantors have made a payment to the Buyer in respect of the Tax in satisfaction of a Tax Claim,

the Buyer shall ensure that the relevant Group Company, so far as possible (without any material adverse affect on the Tax affairs of any Group Company), uses the Relevant Relief before any other Reliefs and pays to the Covenantors an amount equal to the amount by which the relevant Group Company’s Tax liability is reduced as a result of use of the Relevant Relief within two Business Days after the date on which the relevant Group Company is liable to make the reduced payment of Tax.

9.2 The Buyer shall ensure that the relevant Group Company’s auditors at the expense of the Covenantors certify the amount of any payment due to the Covenantors under paragraph 9.1 of this Schedule within five Business Days of a request from the Covenantors.

10.3 Where any such certification as is mentioned in paragraph 10.1 above has been made, the Covenantors or the Buyer or a Group Company may request the auditors of the Group Company for the time being at the expense of the party so making the request to review such certification in the light of all relevant circumstances, including any facts which have become known only since such certification and to certify whether such certification remains correct or whether in the light of those circumstances the amount that was the subject of such certification should be amended.

ODG is a London-based aggregator of television content that provides movies and other television programming for on-demand and pay-per-view services throughout Europe, including cable operators ntl and Telewest in the U.K. ODG is also a principal in the recently launched FilmFlex on-demand movie service venture with Sony Pictures and The Walt Disney Company.

SeaChange paid approximately $13.4 million in cash at the closing for the remaining portion of ODG, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of SeaChange. In addition, under earn-out provisions in the purchase agreement, if ODG meets certain annual performance goals over the period through January 31, 2008, SeaChange will pay an additional $9 million (at today’s exchange rate) in contingent consideration, including up to 50% payable in shares of SeaChange Common Stock with the remainder payable in cash. The contingent consideration will be reduced or increased based upon ODG’s actual performance relative to the goals, with the maximum aggregate contingent consideration being approximately $11.4 million. At the time of the transaction the On Demand Group had in excess of $6.0 million cash in its bank account.

“The On Demand Group is a significant addition to SeaChange providing a strategic benefit to our on-demand market offering,” said Bill Styslinger, president and CEO, SeaChange International. “We are pleased to be adding ODG’s experienced management to our global team which will strengthen our presence in Europe and elsewhere. SeaChange and ODG will be able to provide comprehensive content acquisition and brokering services worldwide, making it easier for service providers to offer and expand their video-on-demand services.”

ODG was formed in 1995 and is privately funded. It is considered a leader in Europe in interactive media service deployment and development, content management and television production. It has provided services in more than 20 countries. In 2002, SeaChange entered into a non-exclusive strategic partnership with ODG to develop video-on-demand opportunities worldwide. ODG has recently worked extensively in supplying a wide range of movies, kids programming, television and music video content and project management services for the successful launch of the ntl on-demand service in January 2005.

In 2004, ODG, Sony Pictures, and the Walt Disney Company founded FilmFlex to provide a high-quality movies on-demand service. Since then, FilmFlex was selected by ntl and Telewest to provide their on-demand films offering, together with systems and software from SeaChange. FilmFlex provides content from the libraries of Sony Pictures Television International, Sony Classics, Walt Disney Television International, Warner Brothers, Pathe, MGM, Dreamworks, Hollywood Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax Film Corporation, Buena Vista International Inc., Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, TriStar, Icon and other sources. With its acquisition of ODG, SeaChange acquires ODG’s interest in FilmFlex.

“We are delighted with the acquisition by SeaChange because it enables us to offer a completely integrated one-stop solution, from server provision and content acquisition, to service development and operating experience for any cable or telco company internationally that is maximising the triple play opportunity of television, internet access, and telephony,” said Tony Kelly, CEO of the On Demand Group Limited.

ODG has 50 employees, with offices and production facilities in central London. In its fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, it had unaudited revenues of approximately $10.7 million and after tax earnings of approximately $1.4M.
