Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As of March 7, 2008, eDiets.com, Inc. (“the Company”) entered into a three-year employment agreement (“Employment Agreement”) with Thomas Hoyer, the Company’s CFO. Under the terms the Employment Agreement, Mr. Hoyer is entitled to an annual base salary of $250,000, and a discretionary bonus and equity compensation based upon performance targets established by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

The Company may terminate the Employment Agreement “for cause,” as defined therein, or without cause. Mr. Hoyer may terminate the Employment Agreement for “good reason,” as defined therein, or without good reason upon 90 days’ notice. Upon termination by the Company without cause not within twelve (12) months following a “change of control,” as defined therein, or by Mr. Hoyer for good reason within three months following a change of control, the Company will be obligated to pay Mr. Hoyer a severance allowance of an amount equal to twelve months’ of Mr. Hoyer’s base salary, plus all accrued but unpaid allowances, expense reimbursements, bonuses, and commissions and to vest any unvested options which, but for the termination of employment, would have vested according to their established vesting schedule in the year in which the termination occurs. Upon termination by the Company without cause within twelve months following a change of control or by Mr. Hoyer for good reason not within three months following a change of control, the Company will be obligated to pay Mr. Hoyer a severance allowance of an amount equal to twelve months’ of Mr. Hoyer’s base salary, plus all accrued but unpaid allowances, expense reimbursements, bonuses, and commissions and to vest all unvested options and restricted stock.

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Employment Agreement is provided to give investors information regarding the Employment Agreement’s terms. It is 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 Employment Agreement were made only for purposes of the Employment Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to that Employment Agreement, 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 Employment Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Employment Agreement 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 this Employment Agreement 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.
