interest to Chemical Trust of California and Chase Manhattan Bank And Trust
Company, National Association (together, the "Predecessor Trustees")), as
Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee") to the Term Indenture dated as of
April 1, 1995 between CalPetro and the Indenture Trustee (as successor in
interest to the Predecessor Trustees), as supplemented and amended by Supplement
No. 1, dated as of June 28, 2001 and by Supplement No. 2, dated as of the date
hereof (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time
to time in accordance with its terms, the "Indenture"). Capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto
(or incorporated by reference) in the Indenture, which also contains rules of
usage that apply to terms defined therein and herein.
W I T N E S S E T
H:
WHEREAS,
the Indenture provided for the initial issuance of an aggregate principal amount
of $117,900,000 of 8.52% First Preferred Mortgage Notes due 2015 of CalPetro
(the "Notes");
WHEREAS,
the m.t. Front Voyager, a single-hull
Suezmax class crude oil tanker, owned by CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited,
(the "Owner"), that serves as part of the collateral for the Notes (the
"Vessel"), is no longer permitted to engage in the seaborne transportation of
crude oil after February 26, 2010, under the environmental regulations of the
International Maritime Organization;
WHEREAS,
Frontline Ltd. ("Frontline"), the manager of the Vessel, has determined that,
given the single-hull structure of the Vessel, efforts to enter into a
replacement charter for the Vessel, as of the date hereof, have failed and no
acceptable replacement charter is expected to be available after the expiration
of the current charter on April 1, 2010;
WHEREAS,
CalPetro, the Owner and Frontline have determined, given that no acceptable
replacement charter is available for the Vessel, that the Vessel should be
released as collateral for the Notes so that it may be delivered and sold on or
after April 1, 2010;
WHEREAS,
Section 10.1(d)(i) of the Indenture requires that CalPetro redeem the Allocated
Principal Amount of Notes at the applicable redemption price plus accrued but
unpaid interest to the date of the redemption if the Vessel is sold, provided
such redemption shall take place on the date which is 90 days after the sale of
the Vessel;
WHEREAS,
Section 10.2 of the Indenture entitles Holders of the Notes to no less than 30
days nor more than 60 days' notice prior to the redemption of the
Notes;
WHEREAS,
pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Indenture, with the consent of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and when
authorized by the Board of Directors of CalPetro, CalPetro and the Indenture
Trustee are authorized to change certain provisions of the
Indenture;
WHEREAS,
holders of 99.92% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding
consented to changes to the Indenture and certain collateral agreements in
connection therewith, which changes will permit the sale of the Vessel and the
release of the Vessel as collateral under the Collateral Trust Agreement dated
as of April 5, 1995 among CalPetro, the Owner, the Indenture Trustee, The Bank
of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as collateral trustee (the "Collateral
Trustee"), CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II)
Limited, and CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited, as amended by Amendment No.1 dated
as of June 28, 2001, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 dated as of April
1, 2010 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Collateral Agreement"), which
changes will permit the sale of the Vessel in accordance with the provisions of
the Consent Solicitation Statement dated February 17, 2010, distributed to
holders of the Notes (the "Consent Solicitation Statement");
WHEREAS,
certain of the changes approved by Holder of Notes set forth in the Solicitation
Statement Agreement will take effect only if the Vessel is sold for an "Adequate
Bid;" and
WHEREAS,
an "Adequate Bid" is a price such that the net proceeds from the sale of the
Vessel (after deducting fees and expenses of the termination and sale) together
with any termination payments paid in connection with the previous and current
charter of the Vessel that are held by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the
Collateral Trust Agreement are sufficient to redeem the Allocated Principal
Amount of Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (x) the sum of (A)
an amount equal to 100% of the Allocated Principal Amount and (B) the Make-Whole
Premium or (y) the applicable Redemption Premium Price, each as defined in the
Indenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of
redemption.
