FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT







THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) made as of this __ day of ___________, 2011, by and among PRESS VENTURES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned subscriber of securities of the Company (the “Subscriber”).







WHEREAS, the Company intends to obtain subscriptions for the purchase and sale, in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), on the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Offering”), consisting of 2,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”), on the terms and conditions as set forth in the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) which is a part of the Company’s Registration Statement, and the Subscriber desires to acquire that number of Shares set forth on the signature page hereof.  This Agreement incorporates terms as defined in the Company's Registration Statement.




NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:







1.           Subscription Procedure







1.1           Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Registration Statement, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of Shares as is set forth upon the signature page hereof at a price of $0.01 per Share (the “Purchase Price”).  The Company agrees to sell such Shares to the Subscriber for the Purchase Price.








1.2           The subscription period will begin as of the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and will continue until 180 days thereafter, unless terminated earlier by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Offering Period”).  The Shares will be offered as set forth in the Registration Statement.  The consummation of the Offering is subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.








 1.3                               Subscription funds will be held in an escrow account.  If the Company has not received subscriptions for 2,800,000 shares of its common stock upon expiration of the Offering Period, subscription funds will be promptly returned to investors without interest or deduction. 


 


1.4           The certificates for the Common Stock bearing the name of the Subscriber will be delivered by the Company no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing of the Offering.  The Subscriber hereby authorizes and directs the Company to deliver the Shares to be issued to the Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement and delivered to the residential or business address indicated on the signature page hereof.

2.           Representations and Covenants of Subscriber.

3.5           Information Provided.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Subscriber that the information set forth in the Prospectus and any other document provided by the Company to the Subscriber in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.







3.6           Consents.
