 Exhibit 10.42 
 DEBT CONVERSION AGREEMENT 
 This Debt Conversion
Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of April 5, 2010 by and between eDiets.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Kevin A. Richardson, II (the “Debt Holder”). 
 RECITALS 
 A. The Company issued to the Debt Holder a Promissory Note dated March 9, 2010 in the original principal amount of $500,000 (the “Note”) pursuant to terms which are described on Schedule 1 hereto (the
“Obligation”). 
 B. The Company is considering conducting a public offering of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to raise additional capital pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement (File No. 333-165445) (the “Registration Statement”) on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and has retained Roth Capital Partners, LLC as placement agent for such offering (the “Public Offering”). 
 F. In order to facilitate the Company’s ability to raise additional equity capital in the Public Offering, subject to the occurrence
and effective as of the Closing, the Debt Holder and the Company desire that the Debt Holder exchange the Note (including the entire principal balance of the Obligation and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon) for shares of Common Stock on the
terms and conditions set forth herein and, in connection therewith, to release all claims held by the Company or the Debt Holder against the other party with respect to the Obligation and the payment of principal and interest thereon. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties hereinafter set
forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, do agree as follows: 
 AGREEMENT 
 1. Exchange of Note; Release. 
 1.1 Exchange of Note for Common Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined herein) the
Debt Holder agrees to surrender and deliver the Note to the Company in exchange for the issuance to Debt Holder of such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to (a) the sum of (i) the Obligation (including the entire
outstanding principal balance of the Obligation) plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the Closing divided by (b) the public offering price of the Common Stock in the Public Offering (such shares of Common Stock, the
“Securities”). By surrendering and delivering the Note in exchange for Common Stock, each party acknowledges and agrees that, subject to and effective upon Closing, (x) neither the Note nor the Obligation will be outstanding,
(y) that each party will be deemed to have released all claims held by such party against the other party with respect to the Note and the Obligation and the payment of principal and interest thereon and (z) the Company shall have no
further Obligation to the Debt Holder pursuant to the Note. 







 1.2 General Release. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, subject to and
effective upon Closing, in executing this instrument, the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand and cause of action, known or unknown as of the date hereof solely insofar as such claim, demand or cause of action relates to
the Obligation or the Note. Each party expressly agrees that the above release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of the express terms and provisions in the Note, including those provisions in the Note relating to the
unknown and unsuspected claims, demands and causes of action hereinabove specified. 
 1.3 Closing; Deliveries.

 (a) The conversion of the Obligation into Common Stock shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable following the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 below, which closing shall be held in the offices of the Company, or at such other place as may be mutually agreeable to the Company and the Debt Holder (the
“Closing”). 
 (b) At the Closing or as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within two weeks
after the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Debt Holder certificates representing the shares of Common Stock. 
 (c) At
the Closing, the Debt Holder shall deliver to the Company each of the Note or other documents evidencing the Obligation listed in Schedule 1 which shall be marked by the Company as “Cancelled”.

ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement (“Material Adverse Effect”). 
 2.2 The Company has the

the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement have been obtained or made other than (i) such as have been made or obtained under the federal securities laws, FINRA rules or NASDAQ rules, (ii) such as may be required under the

the Company’s officers after due and reasonable inquiry. 







 2.10 The Company and each of its subsidiaries holds, and is in compliance with, all
franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, consents, certificates and orders (“Permits”) of any governmental or self regulatory agency, authority or body required for the conduct of its business, and all such Permits
are in full force and effect, in each case except where the failure to hold, or comply with, any of them is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 2.11 The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all property (whether real or personal) described in the Registration Statement as being owned by them that are material to the
business of the Company, in each case free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests, other encumbrances or defects, except as described in the Registration Statement or those that are not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse

(“Intellectual Property”) necessary for the conduct of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries as currently carried on and as described in the Registration Statement, except those the absence of which are not reasonably
likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Company, no action or use by the Company or any of its subsidiaries will involve or give rise to any infringement of, or license or similar fees for, any Intellectual Property of

the transactions contemplated hereby from the restrictions on business combinations with interested stockholders set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL. 
 For the sake of clarity, and without limitation of the Debt Holder’s right to monetary damages for the breach or failure to be true of any representations and warranties, the failure of any
representations and warranties in this Section 2 to be true and correct shall not be a condition to the Closing and shall not entitle the Debt Holder not to consummate the exchange of the Note for the Securities and perform its
obligations hereunder. 
 3. Representations and Warranties of the Debt Holder. The Debt Holder hereby represents and warrants to the
Company that: 
 3.1 Authorization. The Debt Holder has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This
Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Debt Holder, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Debt Holder, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, or any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies. 







 3.2 Acquiring Securities Entirely for Own Account. The Debt Holder hereby represents
that the Securities to be issued to the Debt Holder hereunder will be acquired for investment for the Debt Holder for his own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the
Debt Holder has no present intention of selling the same. By executing this Agreement, the Debt Holder further represents that the Debt Holder does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell to any
of the Securities to be issued hereunder. 
 3.3 Accredited Investor; Pre-existing Relationship with the Company. The
Debt Holder was at the time he was offered the Securities, is as of the date hereof and as of the Closing an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to, investments in securities presenting an investment decision similar to that involved
in the purchase of the Securities, and has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information the Debt Holder deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment
in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. The Debt Holder further represents and warrants that the Debt Holder has a pre-existing relationship with the Company and has been in discussions
regarding the conversion of the Obligation prior to the commencement of the Public Offering, and Debt Holder is not effecting the conversion contemplated herein in reliance on the Registration Statement or any prospectus supplement filed in
connection therewith. 
 3.4 Restricted Stock. The Debt Holder understands that the Securities are “restricted
securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act, or registered or qualified under any state securities law, in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the
representations made by the Debt Holder in this Agreement; the Debt Holder is acquiring the Securities in the ordinary course of business and for the Debt Holder’s own account for investment only, has no present intention of distributing any of
such Securities and has no arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Securities. 
 3.5 Transfer Restrictions. The Debt Holder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the
Securities except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 3.6 Legend. The Debt Holder understands that the Securities will bear a legend that the Company, in its sole reasonable discretion, deems necessary or advisable under the Securities Act or by the
Blue Sky laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so legended. The Company may instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of any Securities until and unless the conditions
specified in the legend are satisfied.
