Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 8, 2013, American Restaurant Concepts, Inc. (the “Company”) learned that a Settlement and Release Agreement, dated March 25, 2013, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), Michael Rosenberger, who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Chairman of the Company’s board of directors, Rosalie Rosenberger, and Hot Wings Concepts, Inc. (“Hot Wings Concepts”), which is owned by Mr. Rosenberger (the “Settlement Agreement”), was executed by Bank of America, which was the last party to execute the Settlement Agreement.  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Bank of America $50,000 in full and final settlement of all outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest, and all other claims and amounts owed to Bank of America under the loan agreement originally entered into by the parties on October 30, 2008 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”).  As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company, Mr. Rosenberger, Ms. Rosenberger and Hot Wings Concepts (collectively, the “Obligors”), on the one hand, and Bank of America, on the other hand, granted each other a release from any and all current and future claims related to the Loan Agreement.  As a result of the execution of the Settlement Agreement, the Loan Agreement was terminated in its entirety.

The Settlement Agreement contains certain conditions subsequent, the occurrence of any of which during the 90-day period beginning March 25, 2013 and ending June 23, 2013 will result in the following: (i) the reinstatement of the Loan Agreement, (ii) the full amount of all outstanding principal, accrued but unpaid interest, and all other claims and amounts owed to Bank of America under the Loan Agreement becoming immediately due and payable by the Obligors, and (iii) the Obligors being held liable for the payment of all legal fees incurred by Bank of America in connection with the Loan Agreement and Settlement Agreement both prior to and after the execution of the Settlement Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement and Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
