Item 1.01 — Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     As previously disclosed, on September 15, 2008 (the “Petition Date”), IFL Corp. (“IFLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Fight League, Inc. (the “Corporation”), filed a voluntary petition for reorganization relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). IFLC’s bankruptcy case is docketed as In re IFL Corp., Case No. 08-13589 (MG), and IFLC will continue to operate its business and manage its properties as a “debtor-in-possession” pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
     On September 19, 2008, IFLC filed with the Court a motion for orders (a) authorizing IFLC to sell all or substantially all of its assets to HDNet LLC (“HDNet”), subject to higher and better offers, (b) approving bid procedures, (c) scheduling auction and sale hearing and (d) granting related relief (the “Sale Motion”). In connection with the Sale Motion, on September 19, 2008, IFLC and HDNet entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), which contemplates the sale of substantially all of IFLC’s assets (the “Purchased Asset”) to HDNet for total consideration of $650,000 in cash and the assumption by HDNet of certain liabilities of IFLC. The Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to higher and better offers as set forth in the Sale Motion.
     The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Transactions”) is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, that the order (the “Sales Order”) of the Bankruptcy Court (i) authorizing and approving the Transactions and (ii) containing certain findings of facts, including, without limitation, a finding that HDNet is a good faith purchaser pursuant to section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall have been entered with the Court, shall have become a final order and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to HDNet in its sole reasonable discretion.
     The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (a) by mutual written consent of IFLC and HDNet, (b) by IFLC or HDNet if an order of a court or other competent authority preventing the consummation of the Transactions shall have become final and non-appealable; (c) by either party upon ten days’ written notice, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to December 31, 2008; provided, that the failure of the Closing to occur by such date is not due (in whole or in part) to a material breach by the terminating party of such party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Asset Purchase Agreement; (d) by HDNet if IFLC agrees in writing, publicly announces its intention or is authorized by its board of directors to, directly or indirectly, sell any portion of the Purchase Assets to a third party; (e) by HDNet if there has been a material breach by IFLC of any of its representation, warranties or covenants contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which breach is not curable or if curable, is not cured within 30 days after notice of such breach is given by HDNet to IFLC; or (f) by IFLC or HDNet if the Bankruptcy Court approves an alternative transaction to the Transactions with or by any party other than HDNet. In the event the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated following the Court’s entry of the Sales Order by HDNet for any of the reasons specified in clauses (c), (d), (e) or (f) or by IFLC for the reason specified in clause (f), HDNet will be entitled to a break-up fee of $19,500, as its sole and exclusive remedy (except in the case of a willful breach of the Asset Purchase Agreement by IFLC).
     The description of the Asset Purchase Agreement set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
