(c) (3) As previously announced, the Board of Directors has appointed Thomas Connerty to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of eDiets.com, Inc. (the “Company”). On February 23, 2012, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Connerty in connection with the appointment (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Connerty will receive a base salary of one dollar per year and includes the following additional terms:

Annual Incentive Compensation. Mr. Connerty will be eligible to participate in an annual incentive compensation program if the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) chooses to establish one. The Company does not anticipate the establishment of an annual incentive compensation program for the 2012 fiscal year.

Equity Based Compensation. On February 23, 2012, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Connerty an option to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.52, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB market on the grant date.

Vesting. Under the terms of the grant, 100,000 shares vest on the grant date and 100,000 shares vest 90 days following the grant date. The remaining 200,000 shares vest in four tranches of 50,000 shares each on the first trading day after the closing price of the Company’s common stock has for the previous ten trading days equaled or exceeded $0.75, $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50, respectively. Vesting is contingent on Mr. Connerty’s continued employment with the Company and, unless the Company terminates Mr. Connerty’s employment for cause, he will have one year following termination of employment to exercise the vested portion of his option.

Term. Mr. Connerty’s employment with the Company is not for any specific period of time, but may be terminated at any time by either Mr. Connerty or the Company.

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Employment Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 10.68 and incorporated herein by reference.
