ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 1, 2010, Interleukin Genetics, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”) entered into the second amendment to amended and restated note purchase agreement with our majority stockholder Pyxis Innovations Inc. (“Pyxis”), an affiliate of Alticor Inc., to extend the availability of our existing credit facility with Pyxis until June 30, 2011.  Prior to the second amendment, the credit facility had been scheduled to expire on January 1, 2011.
 
The original note purchase agreement, entered into by us and Pyxis on October 23, 2002, was subsequently amended on November 13, 2002, January 28, 2003, March 5, 2003, February 23, 2006, August 17, 2006 and August 12, 2008, amended and restated on March 11, 2009 and further amended on August 10, 2009.  Pursuant to the amended and restated note purchase agreement, Pyxis extended to us a credit facility in the amount of $14,316,255.  On June 10, 2008, we drew down $4,000,000, on May 29, 2009, we drew down $1,000,000, on November 9, 2009, we drew down $2,000,000, and, as described below, on February 1, 2010, we drew down $2,000,000, under this credit facility, leaving $5,316,255 of remaining credit.  As of February 1, 2010, we may borrow under the credit facility until June 30, 2011.  All such borrowing becomes due on August 16, 2011 and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $5.6783 per share.
 
A copy of the second amendment to amended and restated note purchase agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.

Also on February 1, 2010, we elected to draw down $2,000,000 under our existing convertible credit facility (described under Item 1.01) with Pyxis and issued a convertible promissory note to Pyxis in that amount.  The promissory note issued to Pyxis was in the form of the promissory note filed as Exhibit 10.4 of our Current Report on Form 8-K/A (File No. 001-32715), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2006.  The principal amount of the note is due and payable on August 16, 2011.  The note bears interest at a variable rate equal to the “prime rate” and the interest is payable quarterly.  Prior to the maturity date, any portion or the entire outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest under the note is convertible at Pyxis’s election into shares of our common stock at a price of $5.6783 per share.  As of the date the note was issued, it was convertible into an aggregate of 352,218 shares of our common stock.
