Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

At a meeting held February 2, 2012, the board of directors of the registrant approved an amendment to the registrant’s Bylaws. Section 11 of Article III of the Bylaws, which had stated that all matters of business of the Board of Directors “shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office and present at such meeting,” was replaced with the following:

“At any meeting of the Board of Directors, business shall be transacted in such order and manner as the Board may from time to time determine, and all matters shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the total number of disinterested directors then in office present at such meeting, except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws or as required by law.”

Item 8.01

Other Events.

As previously announced, on February 2, 2012, the registrant’s lenders gave notice of the occurrence of an event of default under its promissory notes secured by all of the registrant’s assets and declared that the entire unpaid principal balance of the notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon was immediately due and payable. The registrant was unable to pay the lenders in full by the February 3, 2012 deadline. Accordingly, the registrant is complying with its default obligations under the loan documents.

The registrant closed six of its seven company-owned Spicy Pickle restaurants on February 6, 2012.
