Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 10, 2012, YTB International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a commercial sales contract (the “Real Estate Sales Contract”) with Vartu, LLC (“Vartu”) pursuant to which Vartu agreed to purchase from the Company the 19.19 acres of undeveloped land that sits adjacent to the Company’s corporate headquarters building at 1901 East Edwardsville Road, in Wood River, Illinois (the “Property”) and all other tangible, intangible and mixed assets relating to the Property for a purchase price of $500,000 in cash to be delivered to the Company at closing.  The sale of the Property closed on February 13, 2012 (the “Closing Date”).

Pursuant to the Real Estate Sales Contract, the Company has an option (the “Option”) to purchase the Property and all its associated tangible, intangible and mixed assets from the Buyer in “as is” condition subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)  
The purchase price shall be $550,000 (the “Base Option Purchase Price”), if the Company closes on the purchase of the Property pursuant to the Option within 90 days from the Closing Date,
(b)  
If the Company is unable to close on the purchase pursuant to the Option within 90 days from the Closing Date, but closes within 180 days from the Closing Date, then the purchase price shall be the Base Option Purchase Price plus 25% of the difference between the price at which the Company sells the Property and the Base Option Purchase Price, or
(c)  
If the Company is unable to close on the purchase pursuant to the Option within 180 days from the Closing Date, but closes within 365 days from the Closing Date, then the purchase price shall be the Base Option Purchase Price plus 50% of the difference between the price at which the Company sells the Property and the Base Option Purchase Price.

Pursuant to the Real Estate Contract, the Company and the Buyer also agreed to enter into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Buyer will lease the Property to the Company for a period of two years; provided, however, that the Buyer shall reserve the irrevocable right to terminate the lease upon 30 days’ notice at any time after the first 12 months from the date the lease is executed by the Buyer and the Company.
