PROMISSORY NOTE

$XXX,000.00 November 7, 2012

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Circle Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Payor”), hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the order of XXXXX, (the “Payee”), in lawful money of
the United States of America in immediately available funds, the principal sum of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dollars ($XXXXXX), together with interest thereon, compounded annually, from the date hereof
through maturity at the rate of 6.00% per annum (calculated on the actual number of days elapsed
and an assumed year of 360 days) (the “Stated Rate”). This principal amount, together with
interest accrued thereon at the Stated Rate commencing on the date hereof, shall be due and payable
in full upon demand.

This Promissory Note (“Note”) evidences Payee’s loan to Payor in the principal amount
of this Note.

Payor shall use the principal amount of this Note for working capital requirements. So long
as any amounts under this Note remain unpaid, Payor shall not incur any indebtedness for borrowed
money without the prior written consent of Payee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned). For the avoidance of doubt and ambiguity, the foregoing restriction on the
incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money shall not apply to indebtedness incurred by Payor in
the ordinary course of business for goods and services from trade creditors.

The principal and accrued interest balance of this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at
any time without a premium or penalty of any kind.

If any Acceleration Event (as defined below) shall occur for any reason then and in any such
event, in addition to all rights and remedies of the Payee under this Note, applicable law or
otherwise, all such rights and remedies being cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable
alternatively, successively and concurrently, the Payee may, at its option, declare due any or all
of the Payor’s obligations, liabilities and indebtedness owing to the Payee under this Note
whereupon the then unpaid balance hereof shall immediately be due and payable, together with all
expenses of collection hereof, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses
(for this purpose, the Payor shall pay all trial and appellate attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses,
paid or incurred by the Payee in connection with collection of this Note). If the foregoing unpaid
balances, expenses and collection costs are not paid upon demand upon the occurrence of an
Acceleration Event (collectively, the “Unpaid Amounts”), such Unpaid Amounts shall bear
interest until paid in full at the Stated Rate plus 5.00% per annum or the maximum interest rate
then permitted under applicable law (whichever is less) (the “Default Rate”). From and
after maturity of this Note, the Unpaid Amounts shall bear interest until paid in full at the
Default Rate. For purposes hereof, “Acceleration Event” means the first to occur of the following:
(i) if any principal or accrued interest or other amount owing under this Note is not paid when due
and such default continues unremedied for fifteen (15) days after written notice provided by Payee
to Payor, (ii) Payor having made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, filed a petition in
bankruptcy, applied to or petitioned any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver,
intervener or trustee for Payor, or commenced any proceeding for any arrangement or readjustment of
its debts, (iii) any such petition or application having been filed or proceeding having commenced
against Payor and Payor not having interposed a defense thereto within the time permitted under
applicable law, (iv) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Payor’s assets,
(v) the dissolution of Payor or (vi) the failure by Payor to perform any other covenant, agreement
or condition contained in this Note and such default continues unremedied for thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof is given to Payor by Payee; provided, however, in the event such
default is curable but is not reasonably capable of cure within said 30-day period, Payor shall
have such additional time as required to cure any such default so long as Payor is diligently
undertaking the cure of such default.

The Payor (i) waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind, except
for any notice expressly required by the provisions of this Note, and (ii) agrees that it will not
be necessary for the Payee to first institute suit in order to enforce payment of this Note.

The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Note and any dispute arising in
connection herewith or therewith shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York
(without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law).

The Payor irrevocably consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts
of the State of New York located in the County of New York and the United States District Court
whose district covers such county, and waives any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens
with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Note.

EACH OF PAYOR AND PAYEE HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION
OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS NOTE, AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR
CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.

The Payor may not assign this Note and/or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without
the written consent of the Payee. This Note is not secured by any collateral of any nature.
Neither this Note nor all or any portion of the Payee’s rights and interests herein may be
negotiated, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred by Payee.

The Payor shall be solely responsible for any necessary tax or assessment relating to this
Note; provided, however, that the Payor shall not be responsible for Payee’s tax obligations
arising from receipt of funds set forth herein.

If any term or provision of this Note shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity of all other terms and provisions hereof shall in no way be affected thereby.

The waiver by the Payee of the Payor’s prompt and complete performance of, or default under,
any provision of this Note shall not operate nor be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach
or default, and the failure by the Payee to exercise any right or remedy which it may possess
hereunder or under applicable law shall not operate nor be construed as a bar to the exercise of
any such right or remedy upon the occurrence of any subsequent breach or default.

Benefits as stated in section 4 “a” through “p” will continue for a period of 18 months or remainder of contract which ever is greater following (i) the full completion of the Employment Period or (ii) following the Date of Termination of the Employment Period for any reason by the Company, the Company shall permit, at the Company's expense, Executive, his spouse and dependents, as applicable (the "Benefit Participants"), to participate in all group medical health insurance plans and employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements now or hereafter made available to the senior executive employees of the Company (the "Plans") (including but not limited to such Plans in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination), in the same manner provided to its other senior executive employees; provided, however, that this paragraph 6(d) shall not apply in the event that (i) the Company shall hereafter terminate the applicable Plan, or (ii) the participation of the Benefit Participants in such Plan is prohibited by law or, if applicable, would disqualify such Plan as a tax qualified plan pursuant to the Code, or (iii) the participation of the Benefit Participants violates the general terms and provisions of such applicable Plan. In the event that any of the Benefit Participants' participation in such Plans is prohibited by law or, if applicable, would disqualify the Plan as a tax qualified plan, or the participation of the Benefit Participants violates the general terms and provisions of such applicable Plan, the Company shall permit the Benefit Participants to acquire substantially comparable coverage or benefits, at the Company's expense, from a source of Executive's or his spouse's choosing, provided however, that if provision of such coverage or benefit would result in a cost of excess of 130% of the cost to the Company if provided under a Company Plan, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this paragraph 6(d) by contributing to the Benefit Participants 130% of the cost to the Company under the Company Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Benefit Participants receive from the Company the coverage and benefits contemplated by this paragraph 6(d) if the Benefit Participants receive such coverage and benefits from any other source.

Tax Withholding. All payments of salary and other compensation to Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be made after deduction of any taxes required to be withheld with respect thereto under applicable federal, state and local laws.

The "Tax Gross-Up Payment" shall mean an amount payable to the Executive such that, after payment of all federal, state and local taxes on such Tax Gross-Up Payment, there remains a balance sufficient to pay the Excise Tax being reimbursed.

11.

	
Confidentiality.

	
a. 

	
Disclosure and Use. Executive shall not disclose or use, or authorize anyone else to disclose or use, at any time, during the Employment Period, any trade secrets or other confidential information of the Company of which Executive is or becomes informed or aware of prior to or during the Employment Period, except (i) as may be required for Executive to perform his duties and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to the extent such information has been disclosed to Executive by a third party who is not affiliated with the Company or which otherwise becomes generally available to the public, (iii) information which must be disclosed as a result of a subpoena or other legal process, provided that the Company is given reasonable notice and an opportunity to obtain a protective order, or (iv) unless Executive shall first secure the Company's prior written authorization. This paragraph shall survive the termination of this Employment Period, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, and shall remain in effect and be enforceable against Executive for six months or if Company trade secrets or confidential information becomes public prior to the time limit. Executive shall execute additional agreements and confirmations of his obligations to the Company concerning such non-disclosure of Company trade secrets and other confidential information as the Company may require from time to time, provided that the execution of such additional agreements and confirmations are (i) reasonable and (ii) are required of all other senior executive employees of the Company under similar circumstances.

All records, designs, patents, business plans, financial statements, manuals, memoranda, customer lists, customer database, rolodex and other property delivered to or compiled by the Executive by or on behalf of the Company (including the respective subsidiaries thereof) or its representatives, vendors or customers which pertain to the business of the Company (including the respective subsidiaries thereof) shall be and remain the property of the Company, and be subject at all times to its discretion and control. Upon the request of the Company and, in any event, upon the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall deliver all such materials to the Company. Likewise, all correspondence, reports, records, charts, advertising materials and other similar data pertaining to the business, activities or future plans of the Company which are collected by the Executive shall be delivered promptly to the Company without request by it upon termination of the Executive's employment.

Inventions. Executive hereby assigns to the Company all of his rights, title, and interest in and to all inventions, discoveries, processes, designs, and other intellectual property, including but not limited to trade secrets, copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade names (collectively hereinafter referred to as "Inventions"), and all improvements on existing Inventions made or discovered by Executive during the term of his employment by the Company. Promptly upon the development or making of any such Invention or improvement thereon, Executive shall disclose the same to the Company and shall execute and deliver to it such reasonable documents as it may request to confirm the assignment of Executive's rights therein and, if requested, shall assist the Company in applying for copyright, patent or trademark protection and prosecuting any patents which may be available in respect thereof. The Company acknowledges and hereby notifies Executive that this paragraph 9 does not apply to an Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on Executive's own time, unless (a) the Invention relates to (i) the business of the Company, or (ii) the Company's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the Invention results from any work performed by Executive for the Company.

	
13.

	
Remedies. If, at any time, Executive violates to any material extent any of the covenants or agreements set forth in paragraphs 7, 8 or 9, the Company shall have the right to terminate all of its obligations to make further payments under this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the Company would be irreparably injured by a violation of paragraphs 7, 8 or 9, that damages for such a breach are not easily calculated, and that any remedy at law would be inadequate. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Executive from any actual or threatened breach of paragraphs 7, 8 or 9 or to any other appropriate equitable remedy without any bond or other security being required. It is expressly understood between the parties that this injunctive or equitable relief shall not be Employer's exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement. Without limitation, in the event of any breach by Executive of paragraphs 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement, such Executive shall not be entitled to receive any salary payments or any other compensation beyond the date of such breach to which he would otherwise be entitled, and Executive shall be obligated to repay to Employer salary payments received by him at any time after the occurrence of such breach.

	
14.

	
Resolution of Disputes.

	
a.  

	
In the event of any controversy among the parties hereto arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement (other than a controversy arising out of or relating to paragraphs 7, 8 or 9 hereof), which cannot be settled amicably by the parties, such controversy shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Large, Complex Disputes, by an independent arbitrator. Either the Company or Executive may institute such arbitration proceeding by giving written notice to the other party. A hearing shall be held by the arbitrator in the City of Chicago, Illinois, and a decision of the matter submitted to the arbitrator shall be rendered promptly in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs and expenses with respect to such arbitration, including reasonable attorneys' fees. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties hereto. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

The foregoing indemnity is contractual and will survive any adverse amendment to or repeal of the By-laws.  The Company will also cover Executive under a policy of officers' and directors' liability insurance providing coverage that is comparable to that provided now or hereafter to any other executive officer or director of the Company.
