 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Note, for good and valuable consideration received,
EDIETS.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the order of Prides Capital Fund I, L.P. or its assigns (“Holder”), the principal amount of Two Million Five-Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($2,595,000.00), as increased as provided in Section 2 below, and interest thereon as provided herein. This Note is issued pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2008 (as from time to time amended,
the “Note Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the respective purchaser(s) named therein and is subject to the terms thereof and the Holder is entitled to the benefits and rights therein. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized
terms used in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement. The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the terms and conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the
Company, by the issuance of this Note, and the Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees: 
 1. Payments. 
 1.1 Payment Obligation. Unless paid earlier as provided herein, the Company shall pay all principal and accrued interest under this Note on
June 30, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”). All payments of principal and/or interest under this Note will be made by electronic wire transfer to an account designated by the Holder. 
 1.2 Optional Prepayment. All or any portion of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note may be paid prior to the Maturity
Date without the written consent of the Holder upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Holder, 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 1.2 shall include accrued interest on the amount so prepaid. 







 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. 
 2. Interest. Interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and for the actual number of days in the respective period) shall accrue daily and is payable quarterly (on
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31), commencing on June 30, 2008, on the unpaid principal amount of this Note then outstanding at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from and after the
date of this Note and, unless paid earlier as provided herein, shall be paid on the Maturity Date. Accrued interest shall be paid in cash on the respective interest payment date provided that the Holder has notified the Company of its
election to have such payment made in cash not less than 15 days prior to such payment date, and provided, further, that if such notice is not given, such accrued interest shall be capitalized and added to the principal amount of this
Note. Each amount so capitalized shall be considered part of the principal amount outstanding under this Note and shall bear interest as provided in the first sentence of this Section 2. 
 3. Optional Conversion. The Holder shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, on the Maturity Date to convert all or any portion of the
unpaid principal amount of this Note, in an amount not less than $100,000 (such portion hereinafter referred to as a “Conversion Portion”), into the Company’s Common Stock. In the event the Holder elects to convert any Conversion
Portion into Common Stock, such Conversion Portion shall convert into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as shall equal such Conversion Portion divided by $4.67134.

 4. Events of Default. 
 4.1 The occurrence of any of the following events shall be deemed to constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder: (a) the failure of the
Company to pay the principal of this Note, together with all accrued interest, on the Maturity Date; (b) (i) the failure of the Company to comply with any provision set forth in Section 4 of the Note Purchase Agreement or
(ii) the failure of any Note Party to comply with any provision applicable to it set forth in any Note Document (other than as set forth in clause (a) or (b)(i) above), and such failure with respect to this clause (b)(ii) shall continue

indebtedness evidenced by this Note) in a principal amount of at least $100,000 and such failure shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, in the agreement relating to such indebtedness; or any other event shall occur or condition
shall exist under any agreement relating to any such indebtedness and shall continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate, or to permit the holder thereof
to cause, such indebtedness to mature, (d) any representation or warranty made by any Note Party in any Note Document shall prove to have been incorrect when made in any material respect; (e) the entry of a judgment against any Note Party
in the amount of $500,000 or more, if thirty (30) days have elapsed and the judgment has not been vacated, satisfied, or dismissed, and the enforcement of the judgment has not been stayed pending appeal; and (f) any Liquidation Event (as

or custodian for all or a substantial portion of the property of any Note Party; (iii) any assignment for the benefit of, or composition or arrangement with, the creditors of any Note Party (whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy or other
insolvency laws), (iv) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of any Note Party, or (v) any dissolution, liquidation, or other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Note Party. 
 4.2 If there shall occur (a) any Liquidation Event, the entire unpaid principal and accrued interest on this Note shall automatically become and be
forthwith due and payable, without any requirement by the Holder to give notice, present the Note, make demand, protest or give other notice of any kind of character, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, and (b) any Event of Default (other than a Liquidation Event), then the Holder may declare the entire unpaid principal and accrued interest on this Note immediately due and payable, by notice in writing to the Company,
whereupon the entire unpaid principal and accrued interest on this Note shall automatically become and be forthwith due and payable, without any further requirement by the Holder to present the Note, make demand, protest or give other notice of any
kind of character, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
