Agreement"), between California Petroleum Transport Corporation, a corporation
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Lender") and CalPetro
Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, a company organized under the laws of The

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

          The Owner has requested that the Lender make a loan to the Owner in
the aggregate principal amount equal to $____________ (the "Term Loan").
Concurrently herewith, the Owner is requesting that the Lender make a series of
loans to the Owner in the aggregate principal amount equal to $____________
(collectively, the "Serial Loans").  The net proceeds of the Serial Loans and
the Term Loan will be used by the Owner to acquire the m.t. _________ (the
"Vessel") from Chevron Transport Corporation (the "Initial Charterer").  The
Vessel will be bareboat chartered to the Initial Charterer pursuant to the
Bareboat Charter (the "Initial Charter"), dated as of the date hereof, between
the Owner and the Initial Charterer.  As collateral security for its obligations
hereunder, the Owner will assign, pledge, mortgage and grant to the Lender a
security interest in, inter alia, the Vessel, the Initial Charter and the
earnings and insurances of the Vessel.

          The Lender is willing to make the Term Loan to the Owner pursuant to
this Loan Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained
herein:

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained and of other valuable consideration, receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged, the Owner and the Lender hereby agree as follows:

shall be payable on each Payment Date commencing the First Principal Payment

provided, however, in the event the Total Loss Proceeds are in an amount less

but not including the Loss Date, then the Owner shall prepay the outstanding
principal balance of the Term Loan and the Serial Loans, together with an amount
equal to all accrued interest thereon to but not including the Loss Date, pro

          (b) In the event the Vessel is sold pursuant to Section 5.12, the

such period shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment of principal of
the Term Loan.

          Section 2.07  Manner of Payment.  (a)  All payments due to the Lender

deem necessary or advisable to enable the Lender or an agent or representative
designated by the Lender, at such time or times and place or places as the
Lender may specify, to obtain possession of all or any part of the Collateral to

Owner shall for any reason fail to execute and deliver such instruments and
documents after such request by the Lender, the Lender may obtain a judgment

the Owner to deliver such instruments and documents to the Lender, to the entry
of which judgment the Owner hereby specifically consents.

          (b) The Lender may proceed to enforce the rights of the Lender by
directing payment to it of all monies payable under any agreement or undertaking
constituting a part of the Collateral, by proceedings in any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver or for sale of all or any part of
the Collateral possession to which the Lender shall at the time be entitled
hereunder or for foreclosure of such Collateral, and by any other action, suit,
remedy or proceeding authorized or permitted by this Loan Agreement or by law or
by equity, and may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lender asserted
or upheld in any bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial proceedings.

     expenses of any taking, attorney's fees, court costs and other expenses or
     advances made or incurred by the Lender in connection with the
     ascertainment or protection of its rights and the pursuance of its remedies
     hereunder or under any of the Security Documents (including, without
     limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel);

     Second: To the payment of all amounts due to the Lender in respect of
     taxes, indemnities, fees, expenses, premiums, purchase of liens or
     otherwise under the provisions hereof or under any of the Security
     Documents;

     Third: To the payment of interest on the Serial Loans and Term Loan, pro
     rata, in accordance with their respective outstanding balances;

 
                                      -11-

     Fourth: To the payment of principal on the Serial Loans and the Term Loan,

legal representatives shall have all the remedies of a secured party under
applicable law and such further remedies as from time to time may hereafter be
provided pursuant to such law for a secured party.  In exercising its power of
sale, the Lender shall be entitled to add to the Term Loan any and all of the
Lender's expenses.  In exercising its power of sale under this Loan Agreement,
the Lender may sell such portion of the Collateral or any part thereof, either
as one unit or in separate units, all as the Lender may in its discretion elect;
and the Lender may so sell the aforesaid properties, rights and interests or any
part thereof either separately from or together with the whole or any part of
other property which may constitute security for any obligation with respect to
the Term Loan, all as the Lender may in its discretion elect.

          Section 6.05  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  Each and every right,
                        ------------------------------                        
power and remedy herein specifically given to the Lender under this Loan

specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to
time and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lender,
and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any power or remedy shall
not be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise at the same time or
thereafter any other right, power or remedy.  No delay or omission by the Lender
in the exercise of any right, remedy or power or in the pursuance of any remedy
shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of
any default on the part of the Owner or to be an acquiescence therein.

          Section 6.06  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  In case the Lender
                        ----------------------------------                     
shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Loan
Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Lender, then and in every such case the Owner and the Lender
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to
the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Lender shall continue
as if no such proceedings had been taken.

 
                                      -12-

          Section 6.07  Waiver of Past Defaults.  Any past default hereunder
                        -----------------------                             
with respect to the Term Loan or its consequences may be waived by the Lender.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose
of this Loan Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
