contents It is demonstrated that two-photon exchange (TPE) corrections to the cross-section of unpolarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) generate azimuthal-dependent terms and the corresponding $\braket{\cos{(nϕ)}}$ moments. A quark-diquark model of a nucleon was used in the calculations along with a soft-photon approximation. The infrared divergences in the intermediate steps of calculation are regularized with the fictitious photon mass that cancels out in the final result when the soft-photon bremsstrahlung process and interference terms are added. The calculations employ Mathematica ``LoopTools" package to evaluate the loop integrals. TPE corrections are analyzed in the kinematics of planned experiments at Jefferson Lab.
