                   (for completion by United States residents)

                               HOST VENTURES INC.

The undersigned (the "Purchaser")  hereby irrevocably  subscribes for and agrees
to purchase the number of shares of common stock in the capital of Host Ventures
Inc. (the "Company"), a Nevada company, disclosed on page 5 of this Agreement at
a price of US$_______ per share for the aggregate  price  disclosed on page 5 of
this Agreement  (U.S.  dollars) (the "Funds").  Together with this  Subscription
Agreement,  the  Purchaser is  delivering  to the Company the full amount of the
purchase  price  for the  Shares  in  respect  of which it is  subscribing.  The
Offering is being  conducted in reliance  upon the exemption  from  registration
requirements  of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") set forth in Rule 504 of
Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

2.   Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. In order to induce the
     Company to accept this subscription, the Purchaser hereby represents and
     warrants to, and covenants with, the Company as follows:

A.   The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for the Purchaser's own account for
     investment purposes and not with a view towards distribution. The Purchaser
     has no present arrangement or intention to sell the Shares;

B.   The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares have not been
     registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United
     States or to U.S. persons unless the Shares are registered under the Act or
     an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act is available.
     The certificate representing the Shares will bear the following legend and
     the Purchaser agrees to abide by the terms thereof:

         The Securities  represented  hereby have not been registered  under the
         United States Federal or State  Securities  Laws and may not be offered
         for sale,  sold, or otherwise  transferred on the books of the Company,
         without  registration  of such securities  under all applicable  United
         States  Federal  or  State   Securities  Laws  or  compliance  with  an
         applicable exemption therefrom,  such compliance,  at the option of the
         Company,  to be evidenced by an opinion of shareholder's  counsel, in a
         form acceptable to the Company,  that no violation of such registration
         provisions would result from any proposed transfer or assignment.

C.   The Purchaser is not an officer, director or affiliate (as the term is
     defined in the Act) of the Company;

D.   The Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask and receive answers to any and
     all questions the Purchaser had with respect to the Company, its Business
     Plan, Management and current financial condition. The Purchaser
     acknowledges that the Company is newly organized, does not have an
     operating history, will likely require additional capital to complete its
     business plan and that there is no assurance that the Company can obtain
     additional capital or successfully complete its Business Plan;



E.   The Purchaser is an accredited investor and has such knowledge and
     expertise in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable
     of evaluating the merits and risks involved in an investment in the Shares
     and acknowledges that an investment in the Shares entails a number of very
     significant risks and the Purchaser is able to withstand the total loss of
     its investment. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has recommended
     that each Purchaser obtain independent legal and financial advice prior to
     subscribing, including but not limited to advice as to the legality of any
     resale of the Shares, as well as the suitability of the investment for the
     Purchaser;

F.   Except as set forth in this Agreement, no representations or warranties
     have been made to the Purchaser by the Company or any agent, employee or
     affiliate of the Company and in entering into this transaction the
     Purchaser is not relying upon any information, other than that contained in
     this Agreement and the result of independent investigation by the
     Purchaser;

G.   The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it
     in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of
     the United States Federal and State securities laws and that the Company is
     relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties,
     agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth
     herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the
     suitability of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares;

H.   The Purchaser has full power and authority to execute and deliver this
     Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and this Agreement is a
     legally binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the
     Purchaser in accordance with its terms;

I.   The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement
     of the offering of the Shares; and
