To Prides Capital Fund I, L.P.,
LLC
as purchaser (the “ Purchaser
”)
under the Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreements referred to below
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to the following
agreements: (i) the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated
as of August 31, 2007 between eDiets.com, Inc. (the “
Company ”) and the Purchaser (the “ August
2007 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement ”);
(ii) the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of
May 30, 2008 between the Company and the Purchaser (the
“ May 2008 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement ”
and together with the August 2007 Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement, the “ Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements
”); and (iii) the Senior Secured Note dated as of
November 13, 2008 (the “ Note ”) in the
original principal amount of $2,550,000 issued by the Company to
the Purchaser (the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements and the
Note being referred to collectively herein as the “
Purchase Documents ”). Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined in this Waiver Letter No. 1 have the same meanings as
specified in the May 2008 Note and Warrant Purchase
Agreement.
Section 4 of the Note and
Warrant Purchase Agreements provide in part that, except as
otherwise consented to or waived by the Majority Holders, the
Company will not (and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to),
for so long as any amount due under any Note is
outstanding:
4.2 Enter into any transaction with
any person or entity that is affiliated with, controls or is
controlled by, the Company, except for transactions in the ordinary
course of business and on terms not less favorable to the Company
than it would obtain in a transaction between unrelated
parties.
Section 1.3 of the Note
provides as follows:
1.3 Mandatory Prepayment .
Not later than 15 days after the closing of any public or private
sale by the Company of its equity except for Exempt Sales (as
defined below), the Company shall prepay 100% of the outstanding
Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such
prepayment, provided , however, that (i) if any such
prepayment is made on or before June 30, 2009, such prepayment
shall include a prepayment premium of 5% of the prepaid amount, and
(ii) if any such prepayment is made after June 30, 2009
and on or before June 30, 2010, such prepayment shall include
a prepayment premium of 3% of the prepaid amount, and
provided , further , that any such prepayment made
pursuant to subclause (i) or (ii) of this
Section 1.3 shall include accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid. For the purposes of this Section 1.3, “Exempt
Sales” shall mean the issuance of shares of Common Stock
and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights and
the Common Stock issued pursuant to such
options, warrants or other rights (as adjusted
for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations
and the like after the date hereof) issued or to be issued after
the date hereof (i) to employees, officers or directors of, or
consultants or advisors to the Company or any subsidiary, pursuant
to stock purchase, stock option or employee benefit plans or other
arrangements that are approved by the board of directors of the
Company; (ii) upon conversion of any options, warrants or
other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock that are outstanding
on the day immediately preceding the date hereof, provided,
however, that the terms of such options, warrants or rights are not
amended, modified or changed on or after the date hereof; or
(iii) in connection with shares of Common Stock issued as
consideration for the acquisition of another company or business in
which the shareholders of the Company do not have a majority
ownership interest, which acquisition has been approved by the
board of directors of the Company and provided that after
giving effect to such acquisition the Company is the surviving
entity.
The Company, the Purchaser and
certain directors of the Company intend to enter into the
transactions described in Exhibit A attached to this Waiver Letter
No 1, or transactions substantially similar thereto (collectively,
the “ Transaction ”). In order to carry out the
Transaction, the Company hereby requests that the Purchaser waive
the application of Section 4.2 of the Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreements and Section 1.3 of the Note only in
respect of the Transactions.
The Purchase Documents, except to
the extent of the waiver specifically provided for herein, are and
shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all
respects ratified and confirmed. This Waiver Letter No. 1
shall be effective to implement the waiver described herein. The
execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Waiver Letter
No. 1 shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate
as a waiver or amendment of any right, power or remedy of the
Purchaser under the Purchase Documents, nor constitute a waiver or
amendment of any other provision of the Purchase
Documents.
To acknowledge your waiver of the
above-described provisions of the Purchase Documents in connection
with the Transaction, please countersign this letter in the space
provided below and return a counterpart of this Letter Amendment
No. 1 to Andrew Kingston, General Counsel, eDiets.com, Inc.,

This Waiver Letter No. 1 may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Waiver Letter No. 1 by
facsimile or electronic copy (“pdf”) shall be effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Waiver
Letter No. 1. After execution by both the Purchaser and the
Company, this Waiver Letter No. 1 shall become effective as of
the date first above written.

be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York.
