Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreements

On June 23, 2009, the Company executed Securities Subscription and Purchase Agreements (collectively the “Purchase Agreements”) with three of its directors, Kevin A. Richardson II, Lee Isgur and Kevin McGrath, who is also the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the three directors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for an aggregate of $500,000 in cash in a Private Placement. The purchase price of the shares was $1.00 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the prior business day, which was June 22, 2009. The Company will use the proceeds from the share sale to fund its business.

As part of the transaction, the Company agreed to issue three Warrants for the Purchase of Shares of Common Stock (each a “Warrant”), one Warrant to each of the directors, to purchase an aggregate of 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share. Each Warrant has a ten year expiration date, is exercisable beginning immediately and provides for a cashless “net” exercise under certain conditions with respect to up to 25% of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof. The exercise price of each Warrant is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances; however, no adjustment to the exercise price will operate to reduce the exercise price to a price less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 22, 2009. The Company has the option to change the expiration date of the Warrant in the event that the closing price per share of common stock is in excess of 150% of the exercise price for thirty (30) consecutive days as reflected on the Nasdaq exchange.

Also on June 23, 2009, eDiets.com, Inc. (the “Company”) executed an Agreement to Amend Warrants (“Warrant Amendment”) with Prides Capital Fund I, L.P. (“Prides Capital”), a major shareholder with two representatives on the Company’s board of directors. Under the terms of the Warrant Amendment, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of previously issued and outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,688,119 shares of the Company’s common stock on condition that Prides Capital agrees to use diligent efforts to exercise, in one or more tranches, a portion of the outstanding warrants as soon as reasonably practicable in order to purchase 2,500,000 shares underlying the outstanding warrants. The exercise prices of the outstanding warrants, which ranged from $4.25 to $6.00 per share and had a weighted average exercise price of $5.30 per share, were reduced to an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The Warrant Amendment further amended the outstanding warrants dated August 31, 2007, and May 30, 2008, to provide that no adjustment to the exercise price under Section 3(c) thereof will operate to reduce the exercise price to a price less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 22, 2009.

To facilitate the exercise of Prides Capital’s rights under the outstanding warrants, as amended by the Warrant Amendment, the Company agreed in the Warrant Amendment to issue Prides Capital one or more Warrants for the Purchase of Shares of Common Stock (each a “New Warrant”) to purchase nine shares of the Company’s common stock for every 20 shares

 

- 2 -


purchased by Prides Capital as a result of an exercise of the outstanding warrants. The terms of each New Warrant, including the exercise price of $1.20 per share, are substantially the same as the terms of the Warrant to be issued in connection with the Private Placement.

Also on June 23, 2009, the Company executed a Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) with the three directors participating in the Private Placement and with Prides Capital. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agrees to register the resale of the shares of common stock issued to the three directors and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrants and New Warrant.

Pursuant to Waiver Letter No. 1 dated June 23, 2009, Prides Capital agreed to waive certain provisions of its existing agreements with the Company.

The transactions are anticipated to close in July, 2009.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreements, together with the form of Warrant attached thereto, the Warrant Amendment, together with the form of New Warrant attached thereto, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Waiver Letter (collectively, the “Agreements”), does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Agreements are provided to give investors information regarding their respective terms. They are not provided to give investors factual information about the Company or any other parties thereto. In addition, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreements were made only for purposes of those Agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to those Agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed by the contracting parties, including being qualified by disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Agreements. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under these Agreements and should not view the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company.

Warrant for the Purchase of Shares of

Common Stock

 

                                 Shares                             , 20    

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, eDiets.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that                                  or his assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time commencing on the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the ten (10) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Expiration Date”)                                  (                        ) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) for a per share exercise price of $1.20 (the “Per Share Warrant Price”). The Per Share Warrant Price is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings specified in Section 8, unless the context otherwise requires.

1. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) This Warrant may be exercised, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (with the Exercise Notice at the end of this Warrant duly executed) at the address set forth in Section 10 hereof, together with payment of the Per Share Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to which such exercise relates made by delivery to the Company of one or more types of Permitted Consideration.

(b) If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company will deliver to the Holder within three Trading Days of the date such Holder delivers to the Company this Warrant and an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, a new Warrant covering the Warrant Shares that have not been exercised. By the expiration of the third Trading Day following the Holder’s delivery of a Warrant, together with an Exercise Notice and the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise,


the Company will (i) issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share (determined by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of the Exercise Notice), and (ii) deliver the other securities and properties receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.

(c) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(d) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock at the time of the obligation giving rise to such purchase obligation and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

(e) If, after the Required Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Warrant Shares to be issued are not registered and available for resale by the Holder pursuant to a registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula:

 

Net Number   =   (A x B) – (A x C)
                B

 

2


For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A=the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B=the average of the closing sales prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the day that the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice at issue.

C=the Per Share Warrant Price.

2. Company’s Option to Change Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that (i) the closing sales price per share of Common Stock is in excess of 150% of the Per Share Warrant Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3) for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, (ii) the Warrant Shares are either registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder (and the prospectus thereunder is available for use by the Holder as to all then available Warrant Shares) or freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter addressed and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder and the transfer agent for the Common Stock, during the entire sixty (60) Trading Day period referenced in (i) above through the expiration of the Call Date as set forth in the Company’s notice pursuant to this Section (the “Call Condition Period”), and (iii) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Warrant and the Common Stock shall at all times be listed on the AMEX, New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board, then, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to change the Expiration Date for the respective Warrant to 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the date that is thirty (30) days after written notice thereof (a “Call Notice”) is received by the Holder (the “Call Date”) at the address last shown on the records of the Company for the Holder or given by the Holder to the Company for the purpose of notice; provided, that the conditions to giving such notice must be in effect at all times during the Call Condition Period or any such notice shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company changes the Expiration Date pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total (including any exercises made under Section 1(e)) of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in Section 1(e).

3. Certain Adjustments. The Per Share Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 3.

(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into

 

3


a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Per Share Warrant Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then thereafter this Warrant shall represent the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Per Share Warrant Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Per Share Warrant Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price upon exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five trading days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

(c) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock for consideration per share less than the then current market price (determined (a) in the event that the Common Stock is publicly listed, by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of such issue or (b) in the event that the Common Stock is not publicly listed, by reference to the then current market value of each share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; provided, however, that in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (each, a “Liquidity Event”), current market price means the amount per share payable to the holders of the Common Stock upon the consummation of such Liquidity Event), then the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Per Share Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the then current fair market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued; provided, however, that no adjustment under this Section 3(c) shall operate to reduce the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares to a price that is less than $0.92 per share, representing the closing bid price for one share of the Common Stock on June 22, 2009. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required under this Section 3(c): (i) in connection with 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 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) in connection with a bona fide firm commitment underwritten public offering with a nationally recognized underwriter which generates gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $15 million; (iii) 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 (iv) 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, provided that after giving effect to such acquisition the Company is the surviving entity.

(d) All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest  1 /100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company.

(e) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other

 

5


securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.

5. Registration Under Securities Act.

(a) The Holder shall, with respect to the Warrant Shares, have the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) Until the later of (i) such time as the Holder shall be eligible to resell all of its Warrant Shares without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company, as defined in Rule 144), as evidenced by a legal opinion to such effect delivered by the Company’s counsel and acceptable to each of the Company’s transfer agent and the Holder, or (ii) the date on which all Warrant Shares have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) as promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all current reports and the information as may be necessary to enable the Holder to effect sales of the Warrant Shares in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

6. Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transferability.

(a) The Holder represents, by accepting this Warrant that it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. Certificates representing Warrant Shares may bear the restrictive legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that the Holder must bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such Warrant shares or other securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

6


(b) The Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for such Holder’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Holder agrees that this Warrant and any such Warrant Shares or other securities will not be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect to such transfer is effective under the Securities Act or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Securities Act.

7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder, a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.

8. Warrant Holder Not Stockholder. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote or to consent to or receive notice as a stockholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights or liabilities as a stockholder, prior to the exercise hereof; this Warrant does, however, require certain notices to Holders as set forth herein.

Common Stock

 

                     Shares

                       , 20        

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, eDiets.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that             or his assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time commencing on the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the ten (10) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Expiration Date”)             (            ) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) for a per share exercise price of $1.20 (the “Per Share Warrant Price”). The Per Share Warrant Price is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings specified in Section 8, unless the context otherwise requires.

1. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) This Warrant may be exercised, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (with the Exercise Notice at the end of this Warrant duly executed) at the address set forth in Section 10 hereof, together with payment of the Per Share Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to which such exercise relates made by delivery to the Company of one or more types of Permitted Consideration.

(b) If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company will deliver to the Holder within three Trading Days of the date such Holder delivers to the Company this Warrant and an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, a new Warrant covering the Warrant Shares that have not been exercised. By the expiration of the third Trading Day following the Holder’s delivery of a Warrant, together with an Exercise Notice and the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise,


the Company will (i) issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share (determined by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of the Exercise Notice), and (ii) deliver the other securities and properties receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.

(c) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(d) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock at the time of the obligation giving rise to such purchase obligation and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

(e) If, after the Required Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Warrant Shares to be issued are not registered and available for resale by the Holder pursuant to a registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula:

 

Net Number

  =   (A x B) – (A x C)
   

B

 

2


For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A   =    the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B

  =    the average of the closing sales prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the day that the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice at issue.
C   =    the Per Share Warrant Price

2. Company’s Option to Change Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that (i) the closing sales price per share of Common Stock is in excess of 150% of the Per Share Warrant Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3) for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, (ii) the Warrant Shares are either registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder (and the prospectus thereunder is available for use by the Holder as to all then available Warrant Shares) or freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter addressed and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder and the transfer agent for the Common Stock, during the entire sixty (60) Trading Day period referenced in (i) above through the expiration of the Call Date as set forth in the Company’s notice pursuant to this Section (the “Call Condition Period”), and (iii) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Warrant and the Common Stock shall at all times be listed on the AMEX, New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board, then, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to change the Expiration Date for the respective Warrant to 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the date that is thirty (30) days after written notice thereof (a “Call Notice”) is received by the Holder (the “Call Date”) at the address last shown on the records of the Company for the Holder or given by the Holder to the Company for the purpose of notice; provided, that the conditions to giving such notice must be in effect at all times during the Call Condition Period or any such notice shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company changes the Expiration Date pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total (including any exercises made under Section 1(e)) of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in Section 1(e).

3. Certain Adjustments. The Per Share Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 3.

(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into

 

3


a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Per Share Warrant Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then thereafter this Warrant shall represent the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Per Share Warrant Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Per Share Warrant Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price upon exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five trading days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

4


(c) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock for consideration per share less than the then current market price (determined (a) in the event that the Common Stock is publicly listed, by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of such issue or (b) in the event that the Common Stock is not publicly listed, by reference to the then current market value of each share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; provided, however, that in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (each, a “Liquidity Event”), current market price means the amount per share payable to the holders of the Common Stock upon the consummation of such Liquidity Event), then the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Per Share Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the then current fair market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued; provided, however, that no adjustment under this Section 3(c) shall operate to reduce the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares to a price that is less than $0.92 per share, representing the closing bid price for one share of the Common Stock on June 22, 2009. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required under this Section 3(c): (i) in connection with 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 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) in connection with a bona fide firm commitment underwritten public offering with a nationally recognized underwriter which generates gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $15 million; (iii) 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 (iv) 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, provided that after giving effect to such acquisition the Company is the surviving entity.

(d) All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest  1 /100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company.

(e) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other

 

5


securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.

5. Registration Under Securities Act.

(a) The Holder shall, with respect to the Warrant Shares, have the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) Until the later of (i) such time as the Holder shall be eligible to resell all of its Warrant Shares without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company, as defined in Rule 144), as evidenced by a legal opinion to such effect delivered by the Company’s counsel and acceptable to each of the Company’s transfer agent and the Holder, or (ii) the date on which all Warrant Shares have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) as promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all current reports and the information as may be necessary to enable the Holder to effect sales of the Warrant Shares in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

6. Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transferability.

(a) The Holder represents, by accepting this Warrant that it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. Certificates representing Warrant Shares may bear the restrictive legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that the Holder must bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such Warrant shares or other securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

6


(b) The Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for such Holder’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Holder agrees that this Warrant and any such Warrant Shares or other securities will not be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect to such transfer is effective under the Securities Act or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Securities Act.

7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder, a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.

8. Warrant Holder Not Stockholder. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote or to consent to or receive notice as a stockholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights or liabilities as a stockholder, prior to the exercise hereof; this Warrant does, however, require certain notices to Holders as set forth herein.

Warrant for the Purchase of Shares of

Common Stock

 

             Shares                    , 20     

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, eDiets.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that                      or his assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time commencing on the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the ten (10) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Expiration Date”)                      (            ) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) for a per share exercise price of $1.20 (the “Per Share Warrant Price”). The Per Share Warrant Price is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings specified in Section 8, unless the context otherwise requires.

1. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) This Warrant may be exercised, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (with the Exercise Notice at the end of this Warrant duly executed) at the address set forth in Section 10 hereof, together with payment of the Per Share Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to which such exercise relates made by delivery to the Company of one or more types of Permitted Consideration.

(b) If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company will deliver to the Holder within three Trading Days of the date such Holder delivers to the Company this Warrant and an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, a new Warrant covering the Warrant Shares that have not been exercised. By the expiration of the third Trading Day following the Holder’s delivery of a Warrant, together with an Exercise Notice and the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise,


the Company will (i) issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share (determined by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of the Exercise Notice), and (ii) deliver the other securities and properties receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.

(c) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(d) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock at the time of the obligation giving rise to such purchase obligation and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

(e) If, after the Required Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Warrant Shares to be issued are not registered and available for resale by the Holder pursuant to a registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula:

 

Net Number

  =  

(A x B) – (A x C)

  
    B   

 

2


For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A = the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B = the average of the closing sales prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the day that the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice at issue.

C = the Per Share Warrant Price.

2. Company’s Option to Change Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that (i) the closing sales price per share of Common Stock is in excess of 150% of the Per Share Warrant Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3) for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, (ii) the Warrant Shares are either registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder (and the prospectus thereunder is available for use by the Holder as to all then available Warrant Shares) or freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter addressed and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder and the transfer agent for the Common Stock, during the entire sixty (60) Trading Day period referenced in (i) above through the expiration of the Call Date as set forth in the Company’s notice pursuant to this Section (the “Call Condition Period”), and (iii) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Warrant and the Common Stock shall at all times be listed on the AMEX, New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board, then, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to change the Expiration Date for the respective Warrant to 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the date that is thirty (30) days after written notice thereof (a “Call Notice”) is received by the Holder (the “Call Date”) at the address last shown on the records of the Company for the Holder or given by the Holder to the Company for the purpose of notice; provided, that the conditions to giving such notice must be in effect at all times during the Call Condition Period or any such notice shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company changes the Expiration Date pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total (including any exercises made under Section 1(e)) of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in Section 1(e).

3. Certain Adjustments. The Per Share Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 3.

(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into

 

3


a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Per Share Warrant Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then thereafter this Warrant shall represent the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Per Share Warrant Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Per Share Warrant Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price upon exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five trading days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

4


(c) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock for consideration per share less than the then current market price (determined (a) in the event that the Common Stock is publicly listed, by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of such issue or (b) in the event that the Common Stock is not publicly listed, by reference to the then current market value of each share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; provided, however, that in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (each, a “Liquidity Event”), current market price means the amount per share payable to the holders of the Common Stock upon the consummation of such Liquidity Event), then the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Per Share Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the then current fair market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued; provided, however, that no adjustment under this Section 3(c) shall operate to reduce the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares to a price that is less than $0.92 per share, representing the closing bid price for one share of the Common Stock on June 22, 2009. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required under this Section 3(c): (i) in connection with 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 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) in connection with a bona fide firm commitment underwritten public offering with a nationally recognized underwriter which generates gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $15 million; (iii) 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 (iv) 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, provided that after giving effect to such acquisition the Company is the surviving entity.

(d) All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company.

(e) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other

 

5


securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.

5. Registration Under Securities Act.

(a) The Holder shall, with respect to the Warrant Shares, have the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) Until the later of (i) such time as the Holder shall be eligible to resell all of its Warrant Shares without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company, as defined in Rule 144), as evidenced by a legal opinion to such effect delivered by the Company’s counsel and acceptable to each of the Company’s transfer agent and the Holder, or (ii) the date on which all Warrant Shares have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) as promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all current reports and the information as may be necessary to enable the Holder to effect sales of the Warrant Shares in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

6. Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transferability.

(a) The Holder represents, by accepting this Warrant that it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. Certificates representing Warrant Shares may bear the restrictive legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that the Holder must bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such Warrant shares or other securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

6


(b) The Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for such Holder’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Holder agrees that this Warrant and any such Warrant Shares or other securities will not be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect to such transfer is effective under the Securities Act or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Securities Act.

7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder, a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.

8. Warrant Holder Not Stockholder. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote or to consent to or receive notice as a stockholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights or liabilities as a stockholder, prior to the exercise hereof; this Warrant does, however, require certain notices to Holders as set forth herein.

Exhibit 10.4

EXECUTION

AGREEMENT TO AMEND WARRANTS

THIS AGREEMENT TO AMEND WARRANTS (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 23, 2009, by and between EDIETS.COM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and PRIDES CAPITAL FUND I, L.P., a Massachusetts limited partnership (the “Warrant Holder”).

WHEREAS, the Company has issued to the Warrant Holder certain Warrants for the Purchase of Shares of Common Stock, as more fully described on Schedule 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (as amended, replaced, restated, superseded and/or modified from time to time, each an “Existing Warrant” and collectively, the “Existing Warrants”);

WHEREAS, the Company and the Warrant Holder have entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Warrant for the Purchase of Common Stock dated as of May 30, 2008 (“Amendment No. 1”) amending the Existing Warrant dated August 31, 2007; and

WHEREAS, the Company has informed the Warrant Holder that it would agree to amend the exercise price of the Existing Warrants and to provide certain further inducements if the Warrant Holder will use diligent efforts to exercise such Existing Warrants as soon as reasonably practicable, all in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings provided in the Existing Warrants.

2. The Existing Warrants are hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Per Share Warrant Price” in such Existing Warrant and replacing such definition with “a per share exercise price of $1.00 (the “Per Share Warrant Price”).”

3. The Warrant Holder shall use diligent efforts to exercise, in one or more tranches, a portion of the Existing Warrants, as amended by this Agreement, as soon as reasonably practicable following execution of this Agreement in order to purchase 2,500,000 Warrant Shares.

4. The Section 3(c) of the Existing Warrant dated as of May 30, 2008 and the Existing Warrant dated as of August 31, 2007 (as amended by Amendment No. 1) are each hereby amended to insert the following at the end of the first sentence thereof:

“; provided, however, that no adjustment under this Section 3(c) shall operate to reduce the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares to a price that is less than $0.92 per share, representing the closing bid price for one share of the Common Stock on June 22, 2009”.

 

1


5. As a further inducement to the Warrant Holder, within three Trading Days following (i) the exercise by the Warrant Holder of all or any portion of the Existing Warrants and (ii) receipt by the Company of payment of the Per Share Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to which such exercise relates, the Company shall issue to the Warrant Holder a warrant (each, a “New Warrant” and collectively the “New Warrants”) in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, entitling the Warrant Holder to purchase up to a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 45% of the Warrant Shares to which such exercise relates. Such New Warrant shall be exercisable on or after the Original Issue Date (as defined in the New Warrant), shall have a term of exercise equal to ten (10) years and shall have a strike price of $1.20 per share. The Company shall undertake to register shares of common stock issued pursuant to the exercise of New Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the New Warrant).

6. On the date hereof and again on the date of issuance of each New Warrant, the Warrant Holder represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company as follows:

(a) the Warrant Holder was at the time it was offered the New Warrant, is as of the date hereof and as of the Closing and will be on each date it exercises the Warrant an “accredited Warrant Holder” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 New Warrant, and has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information the Warrant Holder deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the New Warrant and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the New Warrant and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment;

(b) the Warrant Holder understands that the New Warrants 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 Warrant Holder in this Agreement; the Warrant Holder is acquiring the New Warrant in the ordinary course of business and for the Warrant Holder’s own account for investment only, has no present intention of distributing any of such New Warrant and has no arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such New Warrant; and

(c) the Warrant 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 New Warrant except in compliance with the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

7. On the date hereof and again on the date of issuance of each New Warrant, the Company represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Warrant Holder as follows:

(a) The Company is duly incorporated and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and is registered or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or transacts business and

 

2


where the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect upon the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole or the business, financial condition, prospects, properties, operations or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole or the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects, and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and authority or qualification;

(b) The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement; the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further action on the part of the Company or the Board or shareholders is required; and

(c) The New Warrants have been duly authorized, and when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, subject to no lien, claim or encumbrance (except for any such lien, claim or encumbrance created, directly or indirectly, by the Warrant Holder).

8. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first above written (the “Effective Date”) on the date when the Company and the Warrant Holder shall have executed, and delivered to each other, its respective counterpart to this Agreement.

9. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, there are no other amendments, modifications or waivers to the Existing Warrants, and all of the other forms, terms and provisions of the Existing Warrants remain in full force and effect.

10. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument.

Warrant for the Purchase of Shares of

Common Stock

 

                     Shares                 , 20    

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, eDiets.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that                                          or his assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time commencing on the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the ten (10) year anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Expiration Date”)                                          (            ) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) for a per share exercise price of $1.20 (the “Per Share Warrant Price”). The Per Share Warrant Price is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings specified in Section 8, unless the context otherwise requires.

1. Exercise of Warrant.

(a) This Warrant may be exercised, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and expiring at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (with the Exercise Notice at the end of this Warrant duly executed) at the address set forth in Section 10 hereof, together with payment of the Per Share Warrant Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares to which such exercise relates made by delivery to the Company of one or more types of Permitted Consideration.

(b) If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company will deliver to the Holder within three Trading Days of the date such Holder delivers to the Company this Warrant and an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant


Price for such exercise, a new Warrant covering the Warrant Shares that have not been exercised. By the expiration of the third Trading Day following the Holder’s delivery of a Warrant, together with an Exercise Notice and the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company will (i) issue a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder for the largest number of whole shares of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled and, if this Warrant is exercised in whole, in lieu of any fractional share of the Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share (determined by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of the Exercise Notice), and (ii) deliver the other securities and properties receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the proportionate part thereof if this Warrant is exercised in part, pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant.

(c) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(d) If, by the third Trading Day after the date that the Holder delivers an Exercise Notice, together with the payment of the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price for such exercise, the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 1(b), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (B) the closing bid price of the Common Stock at the time of the obligation giving rise to such purchase obligation and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

(e) If, after the Required Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Warrant Shares to be issued are not registered and available for resale by the Holder pursuant to a registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula:

 

Net Number = (A x B) – (A x C)
                                       B

 

2


For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A=the total number of Warrant Shares with respect

to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B=the average of the closing sales prices for the five

Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including)

the day that the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice at issue.

C=the Per Share Warrant Price.

2. Company’s Option to Change Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that (i) the closing sales price per share of Common Stock is in excess of 150% of the Per Share Warrant Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3) for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, (ii) the Warrant Shares are either registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder (and the prospectus thereunder is available for use by the Holder as to all then available Warrant Shares) or freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter addressed and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder and the transfer agent for the Common Stock, during the entire sixty (60) Trading Day period referenced in (i) above through the expiration of the Call Date as set forth in the Company’s notice pursuant to this Section (the “Call Condition Period”), and (iii) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Warrant and the Common Stock shall at all times be listed on the AMEX, New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board, then, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to change the Expiration Date for the respective Warrant to 5:00 P.M., New York City time on the date that is thirty (30) days after written notice thereof (a “Call Notice”) is received by the Holder (the “Call Date”) at the address last shown on the records of the Company for the Holder or given by the Holder to the Company for the purpose of notice; provided, that the conditions to giving such notice must be in effect at all times during the Call Condition Period or any such notice shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company changes the Expiration Date pursuant to this Section 2, the Holder may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise a portion of this Warrant with respect to an aggregate total (including any exercises made under Section 1(e)) of twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Warrant Shares and, in lieu of making a cash payment of Permitted Consideration, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in Section 1(e).

3. Certain Adjustments. The Per Share Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 3.

(a) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding

 

3


shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Per Share Warrant Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (1) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (2) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (3) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (4) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then thereafter this Warrant shall represent the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Per Share Warrant Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Per Share Warrant Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction shall, either (1) issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Per Share Warrant Price upon exercise thereof, or (2) purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five trading days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity (and, if an entity different from the successor or surviving entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Fundamental Transaction) to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

4


(c) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock for consideration per share less than the then current market price (determined (a) in the event that the Common Stock is publicly listed, by reference to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the date of such issue or (b) in the event that the Common Stock is not publicly listed, by reference to the then current market value of each share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; provided, however, that in the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (each, a “Liquidity Event”), current market price means the amount per share payable to the holders of the Common Stock upon the consummation of such Liquidity Event), then the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Per Share Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the then current fair market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued; provided, however, that no adjustment under this Section 3(c) shall operate to reduce the Per Share Warrant Price of the Warrant Shares to a price that is less than $0.92 per share, representing the closing bid price for one share of the Common Stock on June 22, 2009. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the Per Share Warrant Price shall be required under this Section 3(c): (i) in connection with 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 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) in connection with a bona fide firm commitment underwritten public offering with a nationally recognized underwriter which generates gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $15 million; (iii) 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 (iv) 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, provided that after giving effect to such acquisition the Company is the surviving entity.

(d) All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company.

 

5


(e) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Per Share Warrant Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall at the time of such delivery, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, and the Company will take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if any, per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share Warrant Price. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or any certificate thereof to the extent required because of the issuance by the Company of such security.

5. Registration Under Securities Act.

(a) The Holder shall, with respect to the Warrant Shares, have the registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) Until the later of (i) such time as the Holder shall be eligible to resell all of its Warrant Shares without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming Holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company, as defined in Rule 144), as evidenced by a legal opinion to such effect delivered by the Company’s counsel and acceptable to each of the Company’s transfer agent and the Holder, or (ii) the date on which all Warrant Shares have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) as promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all current reports and the information as may be necessary to enable the Holder to effect sales of the Warrant Shares in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

6. Investment Intent; Restrictions on Transferability.

(a) The Holder represents, by accepting this Warrant that it understands that this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered for sale under Federal or state securities laws and are being offered and sold to the Holder pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of such securities laws. Certificates representing Warrant Shares may bear the restrictive legend set forth on the first page hereof. The Holder understands that the Holder must bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such Warrant shares or other securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under such laws, or an exemption from such registration is available.

 

6


(b) The Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of this Warrant, represents to the Company that such Holder is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire any Warrant Shares or other securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for such Holder’s own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Holder agrees that this Warrant and any such Warrant Shares or other securities will not be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect to such transfer is effective under the Securities Act or (ii) such sale or transfer is made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the Securities Act.

7. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder, a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination.

8. Warrant Holder Not Stockholder. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote or to consent to or receive notice as a stockholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights or liabilities as a stockholder, prior to the exercise hereof; this Warrant does, however, require certain notices to Holders as set forth herein.

9. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, the following terms have the following meanings:

(“Prides”). The Investors and Prides are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Holder” and collectively as the “Holders.”

R E C I T A L S

A. The Company has sold and issued to the Investors an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Investor Shares”) and warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase up to 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Investor Warrant Shares”) in a private placement (the “Offering”) for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 under the terms and subject to the conditions of a Securities Subscription and Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”).

B. Simultaneously with and as a condition to the Offering, the Company and Prides have entered into an Agreement to Amend Warrants (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the Company has reduced the exercise price of certain outstanding warrants issued to Prides (the “Existing Prides Warrants”) in consideration of the agreement by Prides to use diligent efforts to exercise, in one or more tranches, a portion of the Existing Prides Warrants as soon as reasonably practicable in order to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

C. The Amendment further provides that, upon each such exercise of the Existing Warrants, the Company will issue to Prides a warrant (each a “New Prides Warrant” and, together with the Investor Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 45% of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued as a result of such exercise (the “Prides Warrant Shares” and, together with the Investor Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”).

D. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Holders is a condition to the completion of the transactions described above.


NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Registration Procedures and Expenses. The Company shall:

(a) subject to receipt of reasonably necessary information from each Holder, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), within fifteen (15) business days after the closing price of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) for five (5) consecutive trading days is at least $1.50 per share, as reported by the domestic stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the shares of Common Stock are listed (the “Filing Date”), a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith) to enable the resale by the Holders from time to time of (x) the Investor Shares, (y) the Warrant Shares issued or issuable and (z) the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”);

(b) use its best efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from each Holder, to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Filing Date (the “Required Effective Date”). If the Registration Statement (x) has not been filed by the applicable Required Effective Date, (y) has not been declared effective by the SEC on or before the Required Effective Date or (z) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within twenty (20) business days (the “Required Cure Date”) by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective, the Company shall, on the business day immediately following the Required Filing Date, Required Effective Date or Required Cure Date, as the case may be, and each 30th day thereafter, make a payment to each Holder as partial compensation for such delay (the “Late Registration Payments”) equal to one percent (1%) of the purchase price paid for the Warrant Shares and the Warrants purchased by each Holder and not previously sold by such Holder or otherwise registered by the Company pursuant to Section 1(a) or Section 6 until the Registration Statement is filed or declared effective by the SEC, as the case may be; provided, however, that in no event shall the payments made pursuant to this paragraph (b), if any, exceed in the aggregate twelve percent (12%) of such purchase price. Late Registration Payments will be prorated on a daily basis during each 30 day period and will be paid to each Holder by wire transfer or check within five business days after the earlier of (i) the end of each thirty day period following the Required Effective Date, Required Filing Date or Required Cure Date, as applicable or (ii) the effective date of the Registration Statement;

(c) use its best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) included as part of the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement current and effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which any Holder may sell Registrable Securities pursuant to paragraph (k) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor rule (“Rule 144”) or (ii) such time as all Registrable Securities purchased by such Holder have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”), and to notify each Holder promptly upon each Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto, being declared effective by the SEC;

(d) furnish to any Holder such number of copies of the Registration Statements and the Prospectuses (including supplemental prospectuses) as such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by such Holder;

 

- 2 -


(e) file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in states specified in writing by each Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

(f) bear all expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) in connection with the procedures in paragraph (a) through (e) of this Section 1 and the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statements;

(g) advise each Holder, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or of the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued; and

(h) with a view to making available to each Holder the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit each Holder to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) such date as all Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”); and (iii) furnish to each Holder, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

The Company understands that each Holder disclaims being an underwriter, but acknowledges that a determination by the SEC that such Holder is deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder.

2. Transfer of Registrable Securities After Registration; Suspension.

(a) Each Holder agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Registrable Securities that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other than in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or as contemplated in any Registration Statement and as described below, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any material changes in the information set forth in any Registration Statement regarding such Holder or its plan of distribution.

(b) Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall: (i) if deemed necessary by the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to each Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide each Holder copies of any documents filed pursuant to

 

- 3 -


Section 2(b)(i); and (iii) upon request, inform each Holder who so requests that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to any Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify such Holder to that effect, will use its best efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify such Holder pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) hereof when the amendment has become effective).

(c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of any Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate in writing to each Holder (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, such Holder will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of a Suspension Notice to such Holder. In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to such Holder, such Holder shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 2(c). Each Holder covenants that from the date hereof it will maintain in confidence the receipt and content of any Suspension Notice provided in accordance with this paragraph (c).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 2, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) any Suspension shall not exceed thirty (30) days individually and Suspensions shall not exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate, during any twelve month period and (iii) each Suspension shall be separated by a period of at least thirty (30) days from a prior Suspension (each Suspension that satisfies the foregoing criteria being referred to herein as a “Qualifying Suspension”). In the event that there occurs a Suspension (or part thereof) that does not constitute a Qualifying Suspension, the Company shall pay to each Holder, on the thirtieth (30th) day following the first day of such Suspension (or the first day of such part), and on each thirtieth (30th) day thereafter, an amount equal to 1% of the purchase price paid for the Registrable Securities purchased by such Holder and not previously sold by such Holder (prorated in each such case for partial thirty day periods); provided, however, that in no event shall the payments made pursuant to this paragraph (d), if any, exceed in the aggregate 5% of such purchase price.

(e) If a Suspension is not then in effect, each Holder may sell Registrable Securities under each Registration Statement, provided that it complies with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company will provide an adequate number of current Prospectuses to such Holder and to any other parties requiring such Prospectuses.

(f) In the event of a sale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, unless such requirement is waived by the Company in writing, the Holder must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Certificate of Subsequent Sale”), so that the Registrable Securities may be properly transferred.

(g) The Company agrees that it shall, immediately prior to each Registration Statement being declared effective, deliver to its transfer agent an opinion letter of counsel, opining that at any time the Registration Statement is effective, the transfer agent shall issue, in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities, certificates representing such Registrable Securities without restrictive legend, provided the Registrable Securities are to be sold pursuant to the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and the transfer agent receives a Certificate of Subsequent Sale. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company shall cause the transfer agent to confirm, for the benefit of the Holder, that no further opinion of counsel is required at the time of transfer in order to issue such Registrable Securities without restrictive legend.

The Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue a certificate without any restrictive legend to a purchaser of any Registrable Securities from such Holder, if (a) the sale of such Registrable Securities is registered under the applicable Registration Statement (including registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) and such Holder has delivered a Certificate of Subsequent Sale to the Transfer Agent; (b) such Holder has provided the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Registrable Securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act; or (c) such Registrable Securities are sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, the Company shall, at the request of such Holder, remove the restrictive legend from any Registrable Securities held by the Holder following the expiration of the holding period required by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor rule).

3. Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 3:

(a) the term “Selling Shareholder” shall mean a Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act;

(b) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any final Prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the applicable Registration Statement (or deemed to be a part thereof) referred to in Section 1; and

(c) the term “untrue statement” shall mean any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the applicable Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading.

(d)(i) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Shareholder from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Selling Shareholder may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) any

 

- 5 -


untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, (ii) any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreement or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or (iii) any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in any Registration Statement, and the Company will reimburse such Selling Shareholder for any reasonable legal expense or other actual accountable out of pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Shareholder specifically for use in preparation of the applicable Registration Statement, or the failure of such Selling Shareholder to comply with the covenants and agreements in Section 2 hereof or any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Selling Shareholder prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Selling Shareholder.

(ii) Each Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs any Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 2 hereof, or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement if, and only if, such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and such Holder will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any reasonable legal expense or other actual accountable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim. The obligation to indemnify shall be limited to the net amount of the proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement.

(iii) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 3, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 3 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 3. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof (unless it has failed to assume the defense thereof and appoint counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party), such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate

 

- 6 -


counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could reasonably have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs 3(d)(i) or 3(d)(ii) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the respective Holder on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and such Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if such Holder was treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), such Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the gross amount received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Such Holder’s obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of Registrable Securities to which such loss relates and not joint.

The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 3, and are fully informed regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 3 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in each Registration Statement as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

4. Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent imposed by Section 8 of the Purchase Agreement, Section 6 of the Amendment and this Section 4 upon the transferability of the Registrable Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Registrable Securities when such Registrable Securities shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

 

- 7 -


5. Information Available. So long as any Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Registrable Securities owned by a Holder, the Company will furnish (or, to the extent such information is available electronically through the Company’s filings with the SEC, the Company will make available) to such Holder:

(a) as soon as practicable after it is available, one copy of (i) its Annual Report to Shareholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by an independent registered public accounting firm, and (ii) if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Shareholders, its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);

(b) upon the reasonable request of such Holder, all exhibits excluded by the parenthetical to subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 5 as filed with the SEC and all other information that is made available to shareholders; and

(c) upon the reasonable request of such Holder, an adequate number of copies of the Prospectuses to supply to any other party requiring such Prospectuses; and the Company, upon the reasonable request of such Holder, will meet with such Holder or a representative thereof at the Company’s headquarters during the Company’s normal business hours to discuss all information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with such Holder conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating such Holder’s exposure to liability under the Securities Act, including the reasonable production of information at the Company’s headquarters; provided, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information to or meet at its headquarters with such Holder until and unless such Holder shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, with the Company with respect thereto.

6. Piggy-Back Registrations.

(a) If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall give prompt written notice to each Holder of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so and of such Holder’s rights under this Section 6. Upon the written request of any such Holder made within 15 days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder), the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by such Holder thereof, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities to be so registered; provided that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to such Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the registration expenses in connection

 

- 8 -


therewith), and (ii) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, such Holder of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company, with such differences, including any with respect to indemnification and liability insurance, as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings. If a registration requested pursuant to this Section 6(a) involves an underwritten public offering, any Holder of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register such securities in connection with such registration. The Company will pay all registration expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities.

(b) If a registration pursuant to this Section 6 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered in such offering as contemplated by the Company (other than the Registrable Securities), then the Company will include in such registration (i) first, 100% of the securities the Company proposes to sell and (ii) second, to the extent of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Section 6 which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of Registrable Securities which such Holder has requested to be included in such registration.

7. Limits on Additional Issuances. Except for the issuance of stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of common stock under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan or upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the Offering contemplated hereby, the Company will not, for a period of six (6) months following the closing of the Offering, unless, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, such offer or sale does not jeopardize the availability of exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements under applicable securities laws with respect to the Offering. The foregoing shall not apply to securities issued in connection with any acquisition, including by way of merger, or purchase of stock or all or substantially all of the assets of any third party. Except for the issuance of stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of common stock under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan or upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the issuance of common stock purchase warrants, and the offering contemplated hereby, the Company has not engaged in any such offering during the six (6) months prior to the date of this agreement. The foregoing provisions shall not prevent the Company from filing a “shelf” registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, but the foregoing provisions shall apply to any sale of securities thereunder.

8. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be delivered (A) if within the United States, by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, or by facsimile, or (B) if from outside the United States, by International Federal Express (or comparable service) or facsimile, and shall be deemed given (i) if delivered by first-class registered or certified mail domestic, upon the Business Day received, (ii) if delivered by nationally recognized overnight carrier, one (1) Business Day after timely delivery to such carrier, (iii) if delivered by International Federal Express (or comparable service), two (2) Business Days after timely delivery to such carrier, (iv) if delivered by facsimile, upon electric confirmation of receipt and shall be addressed as follows, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished in writing by a party to another party pursuant to this paragraph:

EXHIBIT 10.6

EXECUTION

WAIVER LETTER NO. 1

Dated as of June 23, 2009

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., 1000 Corporate Drive, Suite 600, Fort Lauderdale FL 33334, fax: (954) 333-3715, email: akingston@ediets.com.

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.

This Waiver Letter No. 1 shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.


Very truly yours,
eDIETS.COM, INC.
