REGULATION S
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Polar Petroleum Corp.
2248 Meridian Boulevard, Suite H
Minden, Nevada 89423

Gentlemen:

1. Subscription. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Subscription Agreement (“Subscription Agreement”), the undersigned investor (“Investor”) hereby subscribes for the number of shares of $.001 par value common stock (“Shares”) of Polar Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), specified below for a price of $0.10 per Share.

The offering will only be made to non-U.S. persons and to U.S. persons whom the Company believes are “accredited investors”, as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, and who have the qualifications necessary to permit the Shares to be offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 for transactions not involving any public offering.  All non-U.S. persons must subscribe pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.  All U.S. persons must subscribe pursuant to the Rule 506 Subscription Agreement.

The Investor shall deliver to the Company:  (1) an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement and (2) a wire transfer in immediately available U.S. funds for the full amount of the purchase price of the Shares for which the Investor is subscribing plus all wire transfer fees.

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

(a)           The Investor has received and carefully reviewed such information and documentation relating to the Company that the Investor has requested, including without limitation, (i) the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) the information describing certain oil and gas assets located in the State of Alaska which the Company intends to acquire. Investor acknowledges that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Shares, including, but not limited to, the Company’s proposed business, operations, properties, and financial condition. The Investor understands that where information furnished to the Investor contains numerical illustrations or discussions of anticipated results, projections, or statements containing, without limitation, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects,” “projects,” “estimates,” or words of similar import or effect, these are “projections.”  Projections involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from the results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such projections.  Such factors include, among others, the following: (i) general economic conditions affecting the Company’s proposed business, (ii) the ability of the Company to raise the additional capital required to perform the business plan, (iii) competitive factors in the market(s) in which the Company intends to operate; (iv) risks associated with oil and gas operations inside and outside the United States, and (v) challenges to the Company’s rights to any oil and gas interests that it may acquire. Given these uncertainties, the Investor acknowledges and understands that the Investor must not place undue reliance on such projections, but must make its own determination as to the likelihood of success of the Company.

(b)           The Investor has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its management concerning the Company and terms and conditions of his or her proposed investment in the Company, and all such questions, if any, have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Investor;

(c)           The Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares;

(d)           The Investor understands that the Company has determined that the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Regulation S with respect to non U.S. purchasers is applicable to the offer and sale of the Shares, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Investor herein;

(e)           Except as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to the Investor by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company and in entering into this transaction the Investor is not relying upon any information, other than the results of independent investigation by the Investor;

(f)           The Investor acknowledges that it has been called to his or her attention by those persons with whom the Investor has dealt in connection with his or her proposed investment in the Company, that the Company has a limited operating history with no revenues and the Company may never have any significant revenues or earnings, and that the Investor’s proposed investment in the Company involves significant risks which may result in the loss of that investment, or a portion thereof;

(g)           The Investor has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to perform the obligations of the Investor hereunder and this Subscription Agreement is a legally binding obligation of the Investor in accordance with its terms; and

(h)           Regulation S.

(i)           The Investor understands and acknowledges that (A) the Shares acquired pursuant to this Subscription Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded by Regulation S; and that such Shares have not been registered with any state securities commission or authority; (B)  pursuant to the requirements of Regulation S, the Shares may not be transferred, sold or otherwise exchanged unless in compliance with the provisions of Regulation S and/or pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption thereunder; and (C) other than as set forth in this Subscription Agreement between the Company and the Investor, the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities law, or to take any action to make any exemption from any such registration provisions available.

(ii)           (A) The Investor is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the Shares for the account of any U.S. person; (B) if a corporation, it is not organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States; (C) if a corporation, no director or executive officer is a national or citizen of the United States; and (D) it is not otherwise deemed to be a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Regulation S.

(iii)           The Investor, if not an individual, was not formed specifically for the purpose of acquiring the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(iv)           The Investor is purchasing the Shares for its own account and risk and not for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person as defined in Regulation S and no other person has any interest in or participation in the Shares or any right, option, security interest, pledge or other interest in or to the Shares. The Investor understands, acknowledges and agrees that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time and that prior to any such offer or sale, the Company may require, as a condition to effecting a transfer of the Shares, an opinion of counsel, acceptable to the Company, as to the registration or exemption therefrom under the Securities Act and any state securities acts, if applicable.

(v)           The Investor will, after the expiration of the restricted period, as set forth under Rule 903 of Regulation S, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares only in accordance with Regulation S, or pursuant to an available exemption under the Securities Act and, in any case, in accordance with applicable state securities laws.  The transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement have neither been pre-arranged with a purchaser who is in the United States or who is a U.S. Person, nor are they part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the United States federal securities laws.

(vii)           Neither the Investor nor any affiliate of the Investor or any person acting on its behalf, has made or is aware of any “directed selling efforts” in the United States, which is defined in Regulation S to be any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for any of the Shares being purchased hereby.

(viii)           The Investor understands that the Company is the seller of the Shares which are the subject of this Subscription Agreement, and that, for purpose of Regulation S, a “distributor” is any underwriter, dealer or other person who participates, pursuant to a contractual arrangement, in the distribution of securities offered or sold in reliance on Regulation S and that an “affiliate” is any partner, officer, director or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with any person in question.  The Investor agrees that it will not, during the restricted period set forth under Rule 903 of Regulation S, act as a distributor, either directly or through any affiliate, nor shall it sell, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey the Shares other than to a non-U.S. Person.

(ix)           The Investor acknowledges that the Shares will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN OFFERED AND SOLD IN AN “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION” IN RELIANCE UPON REGULATION S AS PROMULGATED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

3. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Company has no obligation to assist the Investor in obtaining any exemption from any registration requirements imposed by applicable law. The Investor also acknowledges and agrees that he or she shall be responsible for compliance with all conditions on transfer imposed by a securities administrator or similar person of any state, province or territory.
