            report within three (3) business days of the close of each month
            detailing the number of customers delivered by Lifeminders during
            the prior monthly period. Lifeminders will invoice eDiets for
            customers delivered within 10 business days of the close of each

            the invoice date. Payment shall be made to LifeMinders (Attn:
            Accounts Receivable, 13530 Dulles Technology Center Dr., Suite 500,
            Herndon, VA 21071) within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice
            ("Due Date"). Amounts paid after the Due Date shall bear interest at
            the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month. In the event

            responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorney's fees)
            incurred by LifeMinders in collecting such amounts. LifeMinders
            reserves the right to suspend performance of its obligations

            other agreement with LifeMinders.
      2.    Positioning. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Insertion

            or brand name belonging to or claimed by a third party.
      3.    Placement. LifeMinders reserves the right, at its sole discretion,
            to fulfill distribution requirements through its Private Label

      5.    Renewal. Except as expressly set forth in the Insertion Order, any
            renewal of the Insertion Order and acceptance of any additional
            advertising order shall be at LifeMinders sole discretion. Pricing
            for any renewal period is subject to change by LifeMinders from time
            to time.
      6.    No Assignment or Resale of Ad Space. Advertiser may not resell,
            assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder, and any attempt to

            termination of this contract, without liability to LifeMinders.
      7.    Limitations of Liability. In the event (i) that LifeMinders fails to
            publish an advertisement in accordance with the schedule provided in
            the Insertion Order, (ii) LifeMinders fails to deliver the number of
            total e-mails specified in the Insertion Order (if any) by the end
            of the specified period, or (iii) of any other failure, technical or
            otherwise, of such advertisement to appear as provided in the
            Insertion Order, the sole liability of LifeMinders to Advertiser
            shall be limited to, at LifeMinders sole discretion, a pro rata
            refund of the advertising fee representing undelivered e-mails,
            placement of the advertisement at a later time in a comparable
            position, or extension of the term of the Insertion order until
            total impressions are delivered. In no event shall LifeMinders be
            responsible for any consequential, special, punitive or other
            damages, including without limitation, lost revenue or profits, in
            any way arising out of or related to the Insertion Order/Standard
            Terms or publication of the advertisement, even if LifeMinders has
            been advised of the possibility of such damages. Without limiting
            the foregoing, LifeMinders shall have no liability for any failure
            or delay resulting from any governmental action, fire, flood,

            delivery in any manner.

      8.    Advertisers Representations; Indemnification. Advertisements are
            accepted upon the representation that Advertiser has the right to
            publish the contents of the advertisement without infringing the
            rights of any third party and without violating any law. In
            consideration of such publications, advertiser agrees, at its own
            expense, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless LifeMinders, and its
            employees, representatives, agents and affiliates, against any and
            all expenses and losses of any kind (including reasonable attorney's
            fees and costs) incurred by LifeMinders in connection with any
            claims, administrative proceedings or criminal investigations of any
            kind arising out of publication of the advertisement and/or any
            material, product or service of Advertiser to which users can link
            through the advertisement (including without limitation, any claim
            of trademark or copyright infringement, defamation, breach of
            confidentiality, privacy violation, false or deceptive advertising
            or sales practices).
      9.    Provision of Advertising Materials. Advertiser will provide all
            materials for the advertisement in accordance with LifeMinders'
            policies in effect from time to time, including (without limitation)
            the manner of transmission to LifeMinders and the lead-time prior to
            publication of the advertisement. LifeMinders shall not be required
            to publish any advertisement that is not received in accordance with
            such policies and reserves the right to charge Advertiser, at the
            rate specified in the Insertion Order, for inventory held by
            LifeMinders pending receipt of acceptable materials from Advertiser
            which are past due. Advertiser hereby grants to LifeMinders a
            non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid license to use, reproduce and
            display the advertisement (and the contents, trademarks and brand
            features contained therein) in accordance herewith.

            placement into LifeMinder e-mails and (ii) a modified billing cycle
            (a) If an e-mail runs between the 1st-15th of month; Delivery for
            that run will be tallied until the 15th of the following month and
            (b)If an e-mail runs between the 16th-31st of month; delivery for
            that run will be tallied until the 31st of the following month.
      11.   Right to Reject Advertisement. All Contents of advertisements are
            subject to LifeMinders' approval. LifeMinders reserves the right to
            reject or cancel any advertisement, insertion order, URL link, space
            reservation or position commitment, at any time, for any reason
            whatsoever (including belief by LifeMinders that placement of
            advertisement, URL Link, etc., may subject LifeMinders to criminal
            or civil liability).
      12.   Press Release. Upon agreement to the Insertion Order, and during the
            term of this agreement, LifeMinders may, at its sole discretion,
            issue any mutually approved press release. Advertiser shall make no
            public announcement regarding the existence or content of the
            Insertion Order without LifeMinders' written approval, which may be
            withheld at LifeMinders' sole discretion.
      13.   Cancellation. Except as otherwise provided in the Insertion Order or
            as mutually agreed by the parties, the Insertion Order is
            non-cancelable by Advertiser.
      14.   Construction. No conditions other than those set forth in the
            Insertion Order or these Standard Terms shall be binding on
            LifeMinders unless expressly agreed to in writing by LifeMinders. In
            the event of any inconsistency between the Insertion Order and the
            Standard Terms, the Standard Terms shall control.
      15.   Miscellaneous. These Standard Terms, together with the Insertion
            Order, (i) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with,
            the laws of the State of Virginia, without giving effect to
            principles of conflicts of law; (ii) may be amended only by a
            written agreement executed by an authorized representative of each
            party; and (iii) constitute the complete and entire expression of
            the agreement between the parties, and shall supersede any and all
            other agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties. Both
            parties consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the stat of
            Virginia with respect to any legal proceeding arising in connection
            with the Insertion Order/Standard Terms.
