Item 5.02 .    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On July 22, 2013, the Executive Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Occidental approved a new executive compensation program. Pursuant to the new Program, the Committee authorized grants of incentive awards under the Company’s 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan to certain of the executive officers named in the Company’s 2013 Proxy Statement and other employees. The named executive officers received performance-based, at-risk, awards that are intended to qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and that link the greatest portion of the executives’ potential compensation to the Company’s performance over specified future performance periods. Each named officer received a Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award, a Restricted Stock Incentive Award and either a Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award or two Return on Assets Incentive Awards, one for the Oil and Gas Segment as a whole and one for the region for which the executive has responsibility. The forms of the Terms and Conditions for the awards are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6.

The Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award (“TSRIA”) is denominated in performance shares, each of which is equal to one share of the Company’s Common Stock. The number of shares received at the end of the three year performance period, which runs from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016, will depend on a peer company comparison of total stockholder return. In addition to Occidental, the peer companies are: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Apache Corporation, Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Chevron Corporation, ConocoPhillips, Devon Energy Corporation, EOG Resources, Inc., ExxonMobil Corporation, Hess Corporation, Marathon Oil Corporation, and Total S.A.  Depending on the Company's total stockholder return compared to the total stockholder returns of its peers, the grantee will receive an amount ranging from 0 percent to 150 percent of the target number of performance shares, which amount will be payable in Common Stock; provided, however, that if the Company’s Total Shareholder Return is negative or does not exceed the Total Shareholder Return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) for the same period, the Grantee’s right to receive shares in excess of the target number of Performance Shares will be forfeited. At the end of the performance period, dividend equivalents will be paid with respect to the performance share level achieved in an amount equal to the dividends declared per share of common stock during the performance period.

The Restricted Stock Incentive Award (“RSIA”) is a grant of shares of the Common Stock that will vest on June 30, 2016 but will not be non-forfeitable, unless and until, the Company has reported cumulative Net Income of twelve billion dollars.  The Net Income target must be reached by June 30, 2020 or the shares will be forfeited in their entirety.

The Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award (“ROCEIA”) is denominated in performance shares, each of which is equal to one share of the Common Stock. The number of shares received at the end of the three-year performance period, which runs from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, will depend on attainment of at least a minimum Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”). Thresholds for ROCE will be adjusted up or down by 2% if the three-year average forward strip West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (WTI) prices as of December 31, 2013 are at least $10 greater or less than, respectively, the three-year average forward strip WTI prices as of June 30, 2013. ROCE thresholds will be further adjusted up or down by 2% at the end of the performance period if actual average WTI prices over the performance period are at least $10 greater or less than, respectively, the three-year average forward strip WTI prices as of December 31, 2013. Depending on the Company's ROCE for the

performance period, the grantee will receive an amount ranging from 0 percent to 200 percent of the target number of performance shares, which amount will be payable in Common Stock.  At the end of the performance period, dividend equivalents will be paid with respect to the performance share level achieved in an amount equal to the dividends declared per share of common stock during the performance period.

The Return on Assets Incentive Awards (“ROAIA”) are denominated in performance shares, each of which is equal to one share of the Common Stock. The number of shares received at the end of the three year performance period, which runs from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, will depend on attainment of at least a minimum Return on Assets (“ROA”) for the Oil and Gas Segment as a whole or for either the Middle East/North Africa region (“MENA”) or the United States and Latin America region (the “Americas”). Thresholds for ROA will be adjusted up or down by 2% if the three-year average forward strip West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (WTI)  prices as of December 31, 2013 are at least $10 greater or less than, respectively, the three-year average forward strip WTI prices as of June 30, 2013. ROA thresholds will be further adjusted up or down by 2% at the end of the performance period if actual average WTI prices over the performance period are at least $10 greater or less than, respectively, the three-year average forward strip WTI prices as of December 31, 2013. Depending on the Company's ROA for the performance period, the grantee will receive an amount ranging from 0 percent to 200 percent of the target number of performance shares, which amount will be payable in Common Stock.  At the end of the performance period, dividend equivalents will be paid with respect to the performance share level achieved in an amount equal to the dividends declared per share of common stock during the performance period.

Payout for the awards depends on the grantee remaining employed throughout the applicable performance period; however, if the grantee dies, becomes disabled or is terminated for the convenience of the Company during performance or service period, then the grantee will forfeit a pro rata portion of the award.  In the case of retirement, the grantee will forfeit a pro rata portion of the awards, except, in the case of the awards other than the RSIA, if the grantee retires twelve months or more after the grant date in which case they will not forfeit any of the award.  If the grantee is terminated for cause or terminates voluntarily, the award agreement will automatically terminate on the termination date and the grantee will forfeit the right to receive any payout under the award.  In the event of a Change in Control Event (as defined in the Incentive Plan), the RSIA will pro rata vest and become non-forfeitable on the earlier of the date the grantee is terminated as a result of the Change of Control Event or vesting date.  The other types of awards will immediately convert into shares of restricted stock at the target performance share number for that award and will not be transferable until the earlier of the date the grantee is terminated as a result of the Change of Control Event or the last day of the Performance Period.

The grantees are required to retain beneficial ownership of 50% the number of net after-tax shares received pursuant to the award for three years following the date such shares are vested and non-forfeitable.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Equity-based and Equity-settled Award)



Date of Grant:
 
July 22, 2013
     
Target Number of Performance Shares:
 
See Morgan Stanley Benefit Access
“Stock-Based Awards/My Awards/Awarded”
     
Performance Period:
 
July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016


The following Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Occidental” and, with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), and the Eligible Employee receiving this award (the “Grantee”).

1.            Grant of Performance Shares .   In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Shares up to 150% of the Target Number of Performance Shares.  For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Shares awarded pursuant to Sections 4.2 and, to the extent applicable, 5.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goal. Performance Shares are not Shares and have no voting rights or, except as stated in Section 6, dividend rights.

2.            Restrictions on Transfer .   (a) Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any right to receive Shares or cash pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than (i) to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if enforceable under local law), by will or, if the Grantee dies without designating a beneficiary of a valid will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order, if applicable, (if approved or ratified by the Committee).

(b) Further, if the Grantee was a Named Executive Officer during the last completed fiscal year prior to vesting, then such Grantee shall retain Beneficial Ownership of Shares equal to not less than 50% of the net after-tax Shares received under these Terms and Conditions until the third anniversary date of the vesting of the Shares under this Award (the “Beneficial Ownership Period”). Compliance with the foregoing requirement shall be determined by reference to the reports filed by the Grantee on Forms 3, 4, and 5, as applicable, pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the aggregate number of Shares reported as Beneficially Owned during the Beneficial Ownership Period shall be not less than the sum of the number of Shares then required to be so owned pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions of any other grant containing this or a similar requirement.  For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning ascribed in Rule 16a-1(2) under the Exchange Act and “Named Executive Officer” has the meaning ascribed thereto pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

3.            Performance Goal .   The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on Total Shareholder Return (defined as Total Stockholder Return in the Plan) of the Peer Companies listed below and the S&P 500 Index, as set forth on Exhibit 1.  Total Shareholder Return shall be calculated for each Peer Company using the average of its last reported sale price per share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the trading days during the ninety calendar days preceding July 1, 2013 and the average of its last reported sale price per share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the trading days during the ninety calendar days ending with June 30, 2016.  In addition to Occidental, the Peer Companies are: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Apache Corporation, Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Chevron Corporation, ConocoPhillips, Devon Energy Corporation, EOG Resources, Inc., ExxonMobil Corporation, Hess Corporation, Marathon Oil Corporation, and Total S.A. (collectively, the “Peer Companies” and individually, a “Peer Company”); provided however, that consistent with Section 162(m), if at any time during the Performance Period, a Peer Company is acquired, ceases to exist, ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period, files for bankruptcy, spins off 25 percent or more of its assets, or sells all, or substantially all, of its assets, then such company will be removed and treated as if it had never been a Peer Company and the achievement of the Performance Goal will be determined with respect to the remaining Peer Companies as set forth on Exhibit 1.

4.            Vesting And Forfeiture of Performance Shares .    ( a) If the Grantee fails to accept this award prior to the next record date for the payment of dividends on the Common Stock subsequent to the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this award, the Grantee shall forfeit all rights under this award and this award will become null and void.  For purposes of this section, acceptance of the award shall occur on the date the Grantee accepts this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award through Morgan Stanley Benefit Access or any replacement online system designated by the Company.

(b) Except as provided in this paragraph and paragraph (d) below, the Grantee must remain in the continuous employ of the Company through the last day of the Performance Period to receive payment of this award.  The continuous employment of the Grantee will not be deemed to have been interrupted by reason of the transfer of the Grantee’s employment among the Company and its affiliates or an approved leave of absence.  If, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company and terminates as a result thereof, retires with the consent of the Company less than twelve months after the date of Grant, or terminates employment for the convenience of the Company (each of the foregoing, a “Forfeiture Event”), then the Target Number of Performance Shares upon which the Grantee's award is based will be reduced on a pro rata basis based upon the number of days remaining in the Performance Period following the date of the Forfeiture Event. If the Grantee retires with the consent of the Company twelve months or more after the Date of Grant but on or before the last day of the Performance Period, then the Target Number of Performance Shares will not be reduced.  If the Grantee terminates employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause before the end of the Performance Period, then these Terms and Conditions will terminate automatically on the date of Grantee’s termination and Grantee shall forfeit the right to receive any Shares or cash hereunder.

(c) The Grantee's right to receive payment of this award in an amount not to exceed 150% of the Target Number of Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based on, and become nonforfeitable upon the Committee’s certification of, the attainment of the Performance Goal.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 4(c), if a Change in Control event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Target Number of Performance Shares will convert into an equivalent number of shares of Restricted Stock, subject to the transfer restrictions in Section 2 and the limitations in Section 22, through the earlier of the date of the Grantee’s termination by the Company as a result of the Change in Control event or the last day of the Performance Period.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 4(c), if Occidental’s Total Shareholder Return is negative or does not exceed the Total Shareholder Return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (S&P 500 Index) for the same period, the Grantee’s right to receive Shares in excess of the Target Number of Performance Shares awarded will be forfeited.  This comparison shall be calculated using Occidental’s Total Shareholder Return as defined under Section 3, and by using the average of the closing S&P 500 Index value for the trading days during the ninety calendar days preceding July 1, 2013 and the average of the closing S&P 500 Index value for the trading days during the ninety calendar days preceding June 30, 2016 to calculate the Total Shareholder Return for the S&P 500 Index.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no payment shall be made with respect to the Performance Shares would cause the total payments made to the Grantee to exceed the limits in the Golden Parachute Policy or not comply with the Section 22 of these Terms and Conditions.

5.            Payment of Awards .   The Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Shares only.  The Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Committee's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be; but in any event, no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

6.            Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents .   With respect to the number of Performance Shares listed above, the Grantee will be credited on the books and records of Occidental with an amount (the “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the amount per share of any cash dividends declared by the Board on the outstanding Shares as and when declared with a record date during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Committee certifies the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, or, if earlier, the date on which the Grantee forfeits the right to receive such portion.  Occidental will pay in cash to the Grantee an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents credited to such Grantee, adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect the same payment percentage that is used to determine the payment of the Performance Shares following certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, as promptly as may be practicable following such certification or Change in Control event, but, in any event, no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

7.            Adjustments .   (a) The number of Performance Shares or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions shall be adjusted as the Committee determines pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan in order to prevent dilution or expansion of the Grantee's rights under these Terms and Conditions as a result of events such as stock dividends, stock splits or other changes in the capital structure of Occidental, or any merger, consolidation, spin-

off, liquidation or other corporate transaction having a similar effect.  If any such adjustment occurs, the Company will give the Grantee written notice of the adjustment.

(b) In addition, the Committee may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 5.2.3 of the Plan.

8.            No Employment Contract .   Nothing in these Terms and Conditions confers upon the Grantee any right with respect to continued employment by the Company, nor limits in any manner the right of the Company to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee.  Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the Grantee and an authorized representative of the Company, the Grantee’s employment with the Company is at will and may be terminated at any time by the Grantee or the Company.

9.            Taxes and Withholding .   Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award, including the grant or vesting of the Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award and the receipt of Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (A) in connection with the issuance of any Shares or any other consideration pursuant to this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award (other than the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents), from any Shares or cash that are to be issued or paid to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, in any combination as determined by the Committee at the time of Certification, or (B) in connection with the granting of Performance Shares or the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Performance Shares, from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including Dividend Equivalents).  The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s receipt of this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

10.            Compliance with Law .   The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal, state and non-U.S. securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.  However, if it is not feasible for the Company to comply with such laws with respect to the grant or settlement of these awards, then the awards may be cancelled without any compensation or additional benefits provided to Grantee as a result of the cancellation.

11.            Relation to Other Benefits .   The benefits received by the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions will not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company, including the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary of the Grantee under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company.  Additionally, the Performance Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses or long-service awards.  This grant of Performance Shares does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Performance Shares, or benefits in lieu of Performance Shares, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Performance Shares or other stock or cash awards.

12.            Amendments .   The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time, as provided in the Plan.  Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to these Terms and Conditions to the extent it is applicable to these Terms and Conditions; however, no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions without the Grantee's consent.

13.            Severability .   If one or more of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions is invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidated provisions shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, and the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

14.            Entire Agreement ; Relation to Plan; Interpretation .   Except as specifically provided in this Section, these Terms and Conditions, the Exhibit and the Attachments incorporated in these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Grantee with respect to this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award.  These Terms and Conditions are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  In the event of any inconsistent provisions between these Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan control.  Capitalized terms used in these Terms and Conditions without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.  References to Sections, Exhibits and Attachments are to Sections and Exhibits of, and Attachments incorporated in, these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise noted.

15.            Successors and Assigns .   Subject to Sections 2 and 4, the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall be for the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns of the Grantee, and the successors and assigns of the Company.

16.            Governing Law .   The laws of the State of Delaware govern the interpretation, performance, and enforcement of these Terms and Conditions.

17.            Privacy Rights .   By accepting this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award, the Grantee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in these Terms and Conditions by and among, as applicable, the Company and its affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  The Grantee understands that the Company holds or may receive from any agent designated by the Company certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the

In consideration of the grant of this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award or diminution in value of this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award or Shares issued pursuant to this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever) and, to the extent permitted by law, the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting these Terms and Conditions, the

Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.
 
By accepting this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award, the Grantee agrees, to the extent not contrary to applicable law, to the General Terms of Employment set out on Attachment 1 and the Arbitration Provisions set out on Attachment 2, which, in each case, are incorporated in these Terms and Conditions by reference.

20.            Relation to Employment Agreement .   In the event of any inconsistent provisions between these Terms and Conditions and any employment agreement between the Grantee and the Company, the provisions of these Terms and Conditions control except with respect to Attachment 2 Arbitration Provisions.

21.            Imposition of Other Requirements.   Occidental reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and on the Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award, to the extent Occidental determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

22.            Compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.   All amounts payable under these Terms and Conditions are intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exception from Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that it is determined that the Plan or this award is subject to Section 409A, these Terms and Conditions shall be interpreted and administered in such a way as to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. In addition, if this award is subject to Section 409A, then, (i) any payment made to a Grantee who must be treated as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, that is made on account of the Grantee’s separation from service (as defined for purposes of Section 409A) (other than by reason of death) will be made at the time specified above in these Terms and Conditions or, if later, on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Grantee’s separation from service; (ii) any payment on a Change in Control event will be made only if the Change in Control also qualifies as a change of control event within the meaning of Section 409A; and (iii) any determination by the Committee not to accelerate the award on a Change in Control shall be made only to the extent such determination is consistent with Section 409A. To the extent that the Board determines that the Plan or this award is subject to Section 409A and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, the Board reserves the right (without any obligation to do so) to amend or terminate the Plan and/or amend, restructure, terminate or replace this award in order to cause this award to either not be subject to Section 409A or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section.

B.           At the time of leaving employment with the Company, the Grantee will deliver to the Company, and not keep or deliver to anyone else, any and all credit cards, drawings, blueprints, specifications, devices, notes, notebooks, memoranda, reports, studies, correspondence and other documents, and, in general, any and all materials relating to the Occidental Parties (whether generated by them or as a result of their business relationships), including any copies (whether in paper or electronic form), that the Grantee has in the Grantee’s possession or control.
 
C.           The Grantee will, during the Grantee’s employment by the Company, comply with the provisions of Occidental’s Code of Business Conduct.

EXHIBIT 10.2
OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK INCENTIVE AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Shares of Restricted Stock:
 
See Morgan Stanley Benefit Access
“Stock-Based Awards/My Awards/Awarded”
     
Vesting Date:

The following Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Occidental” and, with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), and the Eligible Employee receiving this award (the “Grantee”).

1.            Grant of Restricted Stock Incentive Award.   In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the number of shares of Restricted Stock set forth above. The Restricted Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable and shall be represented by a book-entry account registered in the name of the Grantee with Occidental’s registrar and stock transfer agent that will be subject to the restrictions hereinafter set forth until those shares have become transferable in accordance with Section 2.

2.            Restrictions on Transfer .   (a) Until the Vesting Date and the certification by the Committee of the attainment on or after June 30, 2016 of the Performance Goal, the shares of Restricted Stock may not be transferred, assigned, sold, pledged, exchanged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, except to Occidental or pursuant to a domestic relations order, if applicable, (if approved or ratified by the Committee); provided that the Grantee may designate from time to time a beneficiary or beneficiaries on a form approved by the Company (if enforceable under local law).  If the Grantee dies without a beneficiary designation on file with Occidental at the time of death, the Grantee’s interest in the Restricted Stock will be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

(b) Further, if the Grantee was a Named Executive Officer during the last completed fiscal year prior to vesting,   then such Grantee shall retain Beneficial Ownership of Shares equal to not less than 50% of the net after-tax Shares received under these Terms and Conditions until the third anniversary date of the vesting of the Restricted Stock under this Award (the “Beneficial Ownership Period”). Compliance with the foregoing requirement shall be determined by reference to the reports filed by the Grantee on Forms 3, 4, and 5, as applicable, pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the aggregate number of Shares reported as Beneficially Owned during the Beneficial Ownership Period shall be not less than the sum of the number of Shares then required to be so owned pursuant to these


2013 RSI Performance-Based
1 of 10
 

 
 
 
 

Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions of any other grant containing this or a similar requirement.  For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning ascribed in Rule 16a-1(2) under the Exchange Act, and “Named Executive Officer” has the meaning ascribed thereto pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

3.            Performance Goal .   In order for the Grantee to retain the Restricted Stock, the Company must achieve cumulative reported Net Income (as defined in the Plan) of twelve billion dollars ($12,000,000,000.00), during the period beginning July 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2020.  Reported Net Income shall be cumulative and shall be the sum of the net income and net losses reported in Occidental’s Annual and Quarterly Reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Committee may certify attainment of the Performance Goal effective at any time on or after the Vesting Date (the “Certification Date”). Certification of the Performance Goal must take into consideration all quarters between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2016 and, if not attained at the end of such period, each quarter thereafter until the earlier of the achievement of the Performance Goal and June 30, 2020.

4.            Vesting and Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Incentive Award.   ( a) If the Grantee fails to accept this award prior to the next record date for the payment of dividends on the Common Stock subsequent to the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this award, the Grantee shall forfeit the shares of Restricted Stock and all rights under this award and this award will become null and void.  For purposes of this section, acceptance of the award shall occur on the date the Grantee accepts this Restricted Stock Incentive Award through Morgan Stanley Benefit Access or any replacement on-line system designated by the Company.

(b) Except as provided in this paragraph, the Grantee must remain in the continuous employ of the Company through the Vesting Date.  The continuous employment of the Grantee will not be deemed to have been interrupted by reason of the transfer of the Grantee’s employment among the Company and its affiliates or an approved leave of absence.  If, prior to the Vesting Date, the Grantee dies, becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company and terminates employment as a result thereof, retires with the consent of the Company, or terminates employment for the convenience of the Company (each of the foregoing, a “Forfeiture Event”), then the number of shares of Restricted Stock will be reduced on a pro rata basis based upon the number of days remaining until the Vesting Date following the date of the Forfeiture Event.  If the Grantee terminates employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause before the Vesting Date, then these Terms and Conditions will terminate automatically on the date of the Grantee’s termination and the Grantee shall forfeit the Restricted Stock.

(c) If a Change in Control event occurs prior to the Vesting Date and the Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company as a result of that event, the number of shares of Restricted Stock will be reduced on a pro rata basis based upon the number of days remaining until the Vesting Date following the later of the (i) date of


2013 RSI Performance-Based
2 of 10
 

 
 
 
 

the Change in Control and (ii) the date the Grantee’s employment was terminated and will become nonforfeitable unless, prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control event, the Committee, as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan, determines that such event will not accelerate vesting of any of these Restricted Stock.  Any such determination by the Committee is binding on the Grantee.

(d) If a Change in Control event occurs on or after the Vesting Date but prior to the Certification Date, the shares of Restricted Stock will become nonforfeitable unless, prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control event, the Committee, as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan, determines that such event will not accelerate vesting of any of these Restricted Stock.  Any such determination by the Committee is binding on the Grantee.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if the Company does not meet the Performance Goal as set forth in Section 3 on or before June 30, 2020 the Grantee or any permitted assignee will forfeit the Restricted Stock.  If the Company meets the Performance Goal on or before June 30, 2020, the Restricted Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4(b)), will become nonforfeitable on the Certification Date.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no payment shall be made with respect to the Restricted Stock that would cause the total payments made to the Grantee to exceed the limits in the Golden Parachute Policy or not comply with the Section 20 of these Terms and Conditions.

5.            Dividend, Voting and Other Rights.   Except as otherwise provided herein, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such shares and receive any dividends that may be paid thereon; provided, however, that any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Grantee may become entitled to receive pursuant to a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital structure of Occidental shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Restricted Stock.

6.            Adjustments .   The Committee may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 5.2.3 of the Plan.

7.             No Employment Contract .   Nothing in these Terms and Conditions confers upon the Grantee any right with respect to continued employment by the Company, nor limits in any manner the right of the Company to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee.  Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the Grantee and an authorized representative of the Company, the Grantee’s employment with the Company is at will and may be terminated at any time by the Grantee or the Company.

8.            Taxes and Withholding .   Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and non-U.S.

3 of 10
 

 
 
 
 

tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Restricted Stock Incentive Award, including the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Incentive Award and the receipt of dividends; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Incentive Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee with respect to dividends, from the Grantee’s wages and, with respect to all other Tax-Related Items first from the shares pursuant to this Restricted Stock Incentive Award and, if not sufficient, from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation.  The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of the Grantee’s receipt of this Restricted Stock Incentive Award that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

Notwithstanding its availability, the Grantee expressly agrees not to make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.

9.            Compliance with Law .   The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all federal, state and non-U.S. laws applicable to awards of this type.  However, if it is not feasible for the Company to comply with these laws with respect to the grant or settlement of these awards, then the awards may be cancelled without any compensation or additional benefits provided to Grantee as a result of the cancellation.

10.            Relation to Other Benefits .   The benefits received by the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions will not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company, including the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary of the Grantee under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company.  Additionally, this Restricted Stock Incentive Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses or long-service awards.  The grant of


2013 RSI Performance-Based

this Restricted Stock Incentive Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Stock Incentive Awards or benefits in lieu of Restricted Stock Incentive Awards, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Restricted Stock Incentive Awards or other cash or stock awards.

11.            Amendments .   The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time, as provided in the Plan.  Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to these Terms and Conditions to the extent it is applicable to these Terms and Conditions; however, no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions without the Grantee's consent.

12.            Severability.   If one or more of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions is invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidated provisions shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, and the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

13.            Entire Agreement ; Relation to Plan; Interpretation .   Except as specifically provided in this Section, these Terms and Conditions and the Attachments incorporated in these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Grantee with respect to this Restricted Stock Incentive Award.  These Terms and Conditions are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  In the event of any inconsistent provisions between these Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan control.  Capitalized terms used in these Terms and Conditions without definitions have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.  References to Sections and Attachments are to Sections of, and Attachments incorporated in, these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise noted.

14.            Successors and Assigns .   Subject to Sections 2 and 4, the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall be for the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns of the Grantee, and the successors and assigns of the Company.

15.            Governing Law .   The laws of the State of Delaware govern the interpretation, performance, and enforcement of these Terms and Conditions.

16.            Privacy Rights .   By accepting this Restricted Stock Incentive Award, the Grantee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s personal data as described in these Terms and Conditions by and among, as applicable, the Company and its affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  The Grantee understands that the Company holds, or may receive from any agent designated by the Company, certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, the Grantee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality,

17.            Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.   The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Restricted Stock Incentive Award granted under the Plan or future awards that may be granted under the Plan (if any) by electronic means or to request the Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

18.            Grantee’s Representations and Releases.   By accepting this Restricted Stock Incentive Award, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has read these Terms and Conditions and understands that (i) the grant of this Restricted Stock Incentive Award is made voluntarily by Occidental in its discretion with no liability on the part of any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and that, if the Grantee is not an employee of Occidental, the Grantee is not, and will not be considered, an employee of Occidental but the Grantee is a third party (employee of a subsidiary) to whom this Restricted Stock Incentive Award is granted; (ii) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Occidental; (iii) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (iv) this Restricted Stock Incentive Award is an extraordinary item that does not constitute a regular and recurring item of base compensation; (v) the future value of any Shares issued pursuant to this Restricted Stock Incentive Award cannot be predicted and Occidental does not assume liability in the event this Restricted Stock Incentive Award has no value in the future; (vi) subject to the terms of any tax equalization agreement between the Grantee and the entity employing the Grantee, the Grantee will be solely responsible for the payment or nonpayment of taxes imposed or threatened to be imposed by any authority of any jurisdiction; and (vii) Occidental is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice with respect to this Restricted Stock Incentive Award or the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

Stock Incentive Award or diminution in value of this Restricted Stock Incentive Award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever) and, to the extent permitted by law, the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting this Restricted Stock Incentive Award, the Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.
 
By accepting this Restricted Stock Incentive Award, the Grantee agrees, to the extent not contrary to applicable law, to the General Terms of Employment set out on Attachment 1 and the Arbitration Provisions set out on Attachment 2, which, in each case, are incorporated in these Terms and Conditions by reference.

19.            Imposition of Other Requirements.   Occidental reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and on the Restricted Stock Incentive Award, to the extent Occidental determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Grantee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

20.            Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.   All amounts payable under these Terms and Conditions are intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exception from Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision) and shall be paid within the period necessary to qualify for such exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that it is determined that the Plan or this award is subject to Section 409A, these Terms and Conditions shall be interpreted and administered in such a way as to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 409A to the maximum extent possible.  In addition, if this award is subject to Section 409A, then, (i) any payment made to a Grantee who must be treated as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, that is made on account of the Grantee’s separation from service (as defined for purposes of Section 409A) (other than by reason of death) will be made at the time specified above in these Terms and Conditions or, if later, on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Grantee’s separation from service; (ii) any payment on a Change in Control event will be made only if the Change in Control also qualifies as a change of control event within the meaning of Section 409A; and (iii) any determination by the Committee not to accelerate the award on a Change in Control shall be made only to the extent such determination is consistent with Section 409A.    To the extent that the Board determines that the Plan or this award is subject to Section 409A and fails to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, the Board reserves the right (without any obligation to do so) to amend or terminate the Plan and/or amend, restructure, terminate or replace this award in order to cause this award to either not be subject to Section 409A or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section.

EXHIBIT 10.3
OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED INCENTIVE AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Equity-based, Equity-settled Award)


Date of Grant:
 
July 22, 2013
     
Target Number of
Performance Shares:
 
See Morgan Stanley Benefit Access
“Stock-Based Awards/My Awards/Awarded”
     
Performance Period:
 
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016


The following Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Occidental” and, with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), and the Eligible Employee receiving this award (the “Grantee”).

1.            Grant of Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award.   In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Shares up to 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Shares awarded pursuant to Sections 4.2 and, to the extent applicable, 5.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goal. Performance Shares are not Shares and have no voting rights or, except as stated in Section 6, dividend rights.

2.            Restrictions on Transfer .   Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any right to receive Shares or cash pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than (i) to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if enforceable under local law), by will or, if the Grantee dies without designating a beneficiary of a valid will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order, if applicable, (if approved or ratified by the Committee).

3.            Performance Goal .   The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on the attainment of at least a minimum Return on Capital Employed, as set forth on Exhibit 1.  Return on Capital Employed for the purposes of Exhibit 1 shall be the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the sum of annual net income attributable to common stock for the Company, after adding back after-tax interest expense, for each year in the Performance Period, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K by (ii) the average capital employed (long-term debt plus stockholders’ equity) for each year in the Performance Period, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K.

4.            Vesting and Forfeiture of Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award.   ( a) If the Grantee fails to accept this award prior to the next record date for the payment of dividends on Occidental Common Stock subsequent to the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this award, the Grantee shall forfeit all rights under this award and this award will become null and void.  For purposes of this section, acceptance of the award shall occur on the date the Grantee accepts this Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award through Morgan Stanley Benefit Access or any replacement on-line system designated by the Company.

(b) Except as provided in this paragraph and paragraph (e), the Grantee must remain in the continuous employ of the Company through the last day of the Performance Period to receive payment of this award.  The continuous employment of the Grantee will not be deemed to have been interrupted by reason of the transfer of the Grantee’s employment among the Company and its affiliates or an approved leave of absence.  If, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies, becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company and terminates employment as a result thereof, retires with the consent of the Company less than twelve months after the Date of Grant, or terminates employment for the convenience of the Company (each of the foregoing, a “Forfeiture Event”), then the Target Number of Performance Shares upon which the Grantee's award is based will be reduced on a pro rata basis based upon the number of days remaining in the Performance Period following the date of the Forfeiture Event. If the Grantee retires with the consent of the Company twelve months or more after the Date of Grant but on or before the last day of the Performance Period, then the Target Number of Performance Shares will not be reduced.   If the Grantee terminates employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause before the end of the Performance Period, then these Terms and Conditions will terminate automatically on the date of the Grantee’s termination and the Grantee shall forfeit the right to receive any shares or cash hereunder.

(c) The Grantee's right to receive payment in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based on, and become nonforfeitable upon the Committee’s certification of, the attainment of the Performance Goal.

(d) For the purposes of Section 4(c), if prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee transfers his employment among the Company and its affiliates, the amount of the award attained by the Grantee shall be determined by assessing the level of achievement of the Performance Goals, if any, certified by the Committee for each entity which employed the Grantee during the Performance Period and multiplying the Target Number of Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of days in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of days in the Performance Period.  If employees of the entity to which the Grantee transfers did not receive substantially similar Return on Asset Incentive Awards, then the amount of the award attained by the Grantee shall be determined as if the Grantee had not transferred but had remained with Grantee’s original employer.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 4(c), if a Change in Control event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Target Number of Performance Shares will convert into an equivalent number of shares of Restricted Stock, subject to the transfer restrictions in Section 2 and the limitations in Section 22 through the earlier of the date of the Grantee’s termination by the Company as a result of the Change in Control event or the last day of the Performance Period.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no payment shall be made with respect to the Performance Shares that would cause the total payments made to the Grantee to exceed the limits in the Golden Parachute Policy or not comply with the Section 22 of these Terms and Conditions.

5.            Payment of Awards.   Up to and including 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions, will be settled in Shares only.  The Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Committee’s


2013 ROCEI

certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, but in any event no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

6.            Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents .   With respect to the number of Performance Shares listed above, the Grantee will be credited on the books and records of Occidental with an amount (the “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the amount per share of any cash dividends declared by the Board on the outstanding Shares as and when declared with a record date during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Committee certifies the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, or, if earlier, the date on which the Grantee forfeits the right to receive such portion.  Occidental will pay in cash to the Grantee an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents credited to such Grantee, adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect the same payment percentage that is used to determine the payment of the Performance Shares following certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, as promptly as may be practicable following such certification or Change in Control event, but, in any event, no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

7.            Adjustments .   (a) The number of Performance Shares or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions shall be adjusted as the Committee determines pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan in order to prevent dilution or expansion of the Grantee's rights under these Terms and Conditions as a result of events such as stock dividends, stock splits or other changes in the capital structure of Occidental, or any merger, consolidation, spin-off, liquidation or other corporate transaction having a similar effect.  If any such adjustment occurs, the Company will give the Grantee written notice of the adjustment.

(b) The Committee may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 5.2.3 of the Plan.

8.            No Employment Contract .   Nothing in these Terms and Conditions confers upon the Grantee any right with respect to continued employment by the Company, nor limits in any manner the right of the Company to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee.  Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the Grantee and an authorized representative of the Company, the Grantee’s employment with the Company is at will and may be terminated at any time by the Grantee or the Company.

9.            Taxes and Withholding .   Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award, including the grant or vesting of the Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date


2013 ROCEI
3 of 11
 

 
 
 
 

of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (A) in connection with the issuance of any Shares or any other consideration pursuant to this Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award (other than the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents), from any Shares or cash that are to be issued or paid to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, in any combination as determined by the Committee at the time of Certification, or (B) in connection with the granting of Performance Shares or the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award, from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including Dividend Equivalents).  The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of Grantee’s receipt of this Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

10.            Compliance with Law .   The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal, state and non-U.S. laws.  However, if it is not feasible for the Company to comply with these laws with respect to the grant or settlement of these awards, then the awards may be cancelled without any compensation or additional benefits provided to Grantee as a result of the cancellation.

11.            Relation to Other Benefits .   The benefits received by the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions will not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company, including the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary of the Grantee under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company.  Additionally, this Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses or long-service awards.  The grant of this Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Return on Capital Employed Incentive Awards or benefits in lieu of Return on Capital Employed Incentive Awards, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Return on Capital Employed Incentive Awards, or other cash or stock awards.

12.            Amendments .   The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time, as provided in the Plan.  Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to these Terms and Conditions to the extent it is applicable to these Terms and Conditions; however, no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions without the Grantee's consent.

13.            Severability.   If one or more of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions is invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidated provisions shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, and the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

18.            Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.   The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Return on Capital Employed Incentive Award granted under the Plan or future awards that may be granted under the Plan (if any) by electronic means or to request the Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.

B.           At the time of leaving employment with the Company, the Grantee will deliver to the Company, and not keep or deliver to anyone else, any and all credit cards, drawings, blueprints, specifications, devices, notes, notebooks, memoranda, reports, studies, correspondence and other documents, and, in general, any and all materials relating to the Occidental Parties (whether generated by them or as a result of their business relationships), including any copies (whether in paper or electronic form), that the Grantee has in the Grantee’s possession or control.
 
C.           The Grantee will, during the Grantee’s employment by the Company, comply with the provisions of Occidental’s Code of Business Conduct.
 
D.           Except as otherwise required by the Grantee’s job or permitted by law, the Grantee will not make statements about any Occidental Parties (1) to the press, electronic media, to any part of the investment community, to the public, or to any person connected with, employed by or having a relationship with any of them without permission of an officer of the Company or (2) that are derogatory, defamatory or negative.  Nothing herein, however, shall prevent Grantee from making a good faith report or complaint to appropriate governmental authorities.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantee will not interfere with or disrupt any of the Company’s operations or otherwise take actions intended directly to harm any of the Occidental Parties.
 
E.           All inventions, developments, designs, improvements, discoveries and ideas that the Grantee makes or conceives in the course of employment by the Company, whether or not during regular working hours, relating to any design, article of manufacture, machine, apparatus, process, method, composition of matter, product or any improvement or component thereof, that are manufactured, sold, leased, used or under development by, or pertain to the present or possible future business of the Company shall be a work-for-hire and become and remain the property of Occidental, its successors and assigns.
 
The provisions of this Section do not apply to an invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, which provides in substance that provisions in an employment agreement providing that an employee shall assign or offer to assign rights in an invention to his or her employer do not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, except for those inventions that either (a) relate, at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention, (1) to the business of the employer or (2) to the employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

Arbitration Provisions


A ny dispute arising out of or in any way related to the Grantee’s employment with any of the Occidental Parties, or the termination of that employment, will be decided exclusively by final and binding arbitration pursuant to any procedures required by applicable law.  To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, any arbitration will be submitted to American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and subject to AAA Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration.  Only the following claims are excluded from these Terms and Conditions: (1) claims for workers’ compensation, unemployment compensation, or state disability benefits, and claims based upon any pension or welfare benefit plan the terms of which contain an arbitration or other non-judicial dispute resolution procedure, (2) to the extent permitted by applicable law, claims for provisional remedies to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of arbitration, (3) claims based on employee compensation award agreements and incentive plans and (4) claims which are not permitted by applicable law to be subject to a binding pre-dispute arbitration agreement.

Any controversy regarding whether a particular dispute is subject to arbitration under this Section shall be decided by the arbitrator.

To the extent required under applicable law, the Grantee’s responsibility for payment of the neutral arbitrator’s fees and expenses shall be limited to an amount equal to the filing fee that would be required for a state trial court action and the Company shall pay all remaining fees and expenses of the arbitrator.  Unless otherwise required under applicable law, the parties shall each pay their pro rata share of the neutral arbitrator's expenses and fees.  Any controversy regarding the payment of fees and expenses under this arbitration provision shall be decided by the arbitrator.

EXHIBIT 10.4
OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
OCCIDENTAL OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
RETURN ON ASSETS INCENTIVE AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Equity-based, Equity-settled Award)


Date of Grant:
 
July 22, 2013
     
Target Number of
Performance Shares:
 
See Morgan Stanley Benefit Access
“Stock-Based Awards/My Awards/Awarded”
     
Performance Period:
 
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016


The following Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Occidental” and, with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), and the Eligible Employee receiving this award (the “Grantee”).

1.            Grant of Return on Assets Incentive Award.   In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Shares up to 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Shares awarded pursuant to Sections 4.2 and, to the extent applicable, 5.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goal. Performance Shares are not Shares and have no voting rights or, except as stated in Section 6, dividend rights.

2.            Restrictions on Transfer .   Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any right to receive Shares or cash pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than (i) to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if enforceable under local law), by will or, if the Grantee dies without designating a beneficiary of a valid will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order, if applicable, (if approved or ratified by the Committee).

3.            Performance Goal .   The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on the attainment of at least a minimum Return on Assets, as set forth on Exhibit 1.  Return on Assets for the purposes of Exhibit 1 shall be the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the  sum of the Net Income for the Oil and Gas Segment (Total) for each year in the Performance Period by (ii) the sum of the Assets for the Oil and Gas Segment (Total) for each year in the Performance Period.   For the purposes of the foregoing calculation, “Net Income” shall be Results of Operations for the  Oil and Gas Segment (Total) for the applicable year and “Assets” will be the Net Capitalized Costs (Total) for the applicable year, in each case as reported in the Supplemental Oil and Gas Information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestures and write downs during the Performance Period unless the senior management of Occidental recommends exclusion and the Committee agrees.

4.            Vesting and Forfeiture of Return on Assets Incentive Award.   ( a) If the Grantee fails to accept this award prior to the next record date for the payment of dividends on Occidental Common Stock subsequent to the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding any other provision of


2013 ROAI-OOGC
1 of 11
 

 
 
 
 

this award, the Grantee shall forfeit all rights under this award and this award will become null and void.  For purposes of this section, acceptance of the award shall occur on the date the Grantee accepts this Return on Assets Incentive Award through Morgan Stanley Benefit Access or any replacement on-line system designated by the Company.

(b) Except as provided in this paragraph and paragraph (e), the Grantee must remain in the continuous employ of the Company through the last day of the Performance Period to receive payment of this award.  The continuous employment of the Grantee will not be deemed to have been interrupted by reason of the transfer of the Grantee’s employment among the Company and its affiliates or an approved leave of absence.  If, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies, becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company and terminates employment as a result thereof, retires with the consent of the Company less than twelve months after the Date of Grant, or terminates employment for the convenience of the Company (each of the foregoing, a “Forfeiture Event”), then the Target Number of Performance Shares upon which the Grantee's award is based will be reduced on a pro rata basis based upon the number of days remaining in the Performance Period following the date of the Forfeiture Event. If the Grantee retires with the consent of the Company twelve months or more after the Date of Grant but on or before the last day of the Performance Period, then the Target Number of Performance Shares will not be reduced.   If the Grantee terminates employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause before the end of the Performance Period, then these Terms and Conditions will terminate automatically on the date of the Grantee’s termination and the Grantee shall forfeit the right to receive any Shares or cash hereunder.

(c) The Grantee's right to receive payment in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based on, and become nonforfeitable upon the Committee’s certification of, the attainment of the Performance Goal.

(d) For the purposes of Section 4(c), if prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee transfers his employment among the Company and its affiliates, the amount of the award attained by the Grantee shall be determined by assessing the level of achievement of the Performance Goals, if any, certified by the Committee for each entity which employed the Grantee during the Performance Period and multiplying the Target Number of Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of days in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of days in the Performance Period.  If employees of the entity to which the Grantee transfers did not receive substantially similar Return on Asset Incentive Awards or Return on Capital Employed Incentive Awards, then the amount of the award attained by the Grantee shall be determined as if the Grantee had not transferred but had remained with Grantee’s original employer.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 4(c), if a Change in Control event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Target Number of Performance Shares will convert into an equivalent number of shares of Restricted Stock, subject to the transfer restrictions in Section 2 and the limitations in Section 22 through the earlier of the date of the Grantee’s termination by the Company as a result of the Change in Control event or the last day of the Performance Period.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no payment shall be made with respect to the Performance Shares that would cause the total payments made to the Grantee to exceed the limits in the Golden Parachute Policy or not comply with the Section 22 of these Terms and Conditions.

5.            Payment of Awards.   Up to and including 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions, will be settled in Shares only.  The Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Committee’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, but in any event no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

6.            Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents .   With respect to the number of Performance Shares listed above, the Grantee will be credited on the books and records of Occidental with an amount (the “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the amount per share of any cash dividends declared by the Board on the outstanding Shares as and when declared with a record date during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Committee certifies the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, or, if earlier, the date on which the Grantee forfeits the right to receive such portion.  Occidental will pay in cash to the Grantee an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents credited to such Grantee, adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect the same payment percentage that is used to determine the payment of the Performance Shares following certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, as promptly as may be practicable following such certification or Change in Control event, but, in any event, no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

7.            Adjustments .   (a) The number of Performance Shares or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions shall be adjusted as the Committee determines pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan in order to prevent dilution or expansion of the Grantee's rights under these Terms and Conditions as a result of events such as stock dividends, stock splits or other changes in the capital structure of Occidental, or any merger, consolidation, spin-off, liquidation or other corporate transaction having a similar effect.  If any such adjustment occurs, the Company will give the Grantee written notice of the adjustment.

(b) The Committee may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 5.2.3 of the Plan.

8.            No Employment Contract .   Nothing in these Terms and Conditions confers upon the Grantee any right with respect to continued employment by the Company, nor limits in any manner the right of the Company to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee.  Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the Grantee and an authorized representative of the Company, the Grantee’s employment with the Company is at will and may be terminated at any time by the Grantee or the Company.

9.            Taxes and Withholding .   Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Return on Assets


2013 ROAI-OOGC
3 of 11
 

 
 
 
 

Incentive Award, including the grant or vesting of the Return on Assets Incentive Award; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Return on Assets Incentive Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (A) in connection with the issuance of any Shares or any other consideration pursuant to this Return on Assets Incentive Award (other than the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents), from any Shares or cash that are to be issued or paid to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, in any combination as determined by the Committee at the time of Certification, or (B) in connection with the granting of Performance Shares or the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Performance Shares, from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including Dividend Equivalents).  The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of Grantee’s receipt of this Return on Assets Incentive Award that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

10.            Compliance with Law .   The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal, state and non-U.S. laws.  However, if it is not feasible for the Company to comply with these laws with respect to the grant or settlement of these awards, then the awards may be cancelled without any compensation or additional benefits provided to Grantee as a result of the cancellation.

11.            Relation to Other Benefits .   The benefits received by the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions will not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company, including the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary of the Grantee under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company.  Additionally, this Return on Assets Incentive Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses or long-service awards.  The grant of this Return on Assets Incentive Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Return on Assets Incentive Awards or benefits in lieu of Return on Assets Incentive Awards, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Return on Assets Incentive Awards, or other cash or stock awards.

12.            Amendments .   The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time, as provided in the Plan.  Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to these Terms and Conditions to the extent it is applicable to these Terms and Conditions; however, no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions without the Grantee's consent.

13.            Severability.   If one or more of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions is invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidated provisions shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, and the


2013 ROAI-OOGC

remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

14.            Entire Agreement; Relation to Plan; Interpretation .   Except as specifically provided in this Section, these Terms and Conditions, the Exhibit and the Attachments incorporated in these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Grantee with respect to this Return on Assets Incentive Award.  These Terms and Conditions are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  In the event of any inconsistent provisions between these Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan control.  Capitalized terms used in these Terms and Conditions without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.  References to Sections, Exhibits and Attachments are to Sections of, and Exhibits and Attachments incorporated in, these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise noted.

15.            Successors and Assigns .   Subject to Sections 2 and 4, the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall be for the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns of the Grantee, and the successors and assigns of the Company.

18.            Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.   The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Return on Assets Incentive Award granted under the Plan or future awards that may be granted under the Plan (if any) by electronic means or to request the Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to

In consideration of the grant of this Return on Assets Incentive Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Return on Assets Incentive Award or diminution in value of this Return on Assets Incentive Award or Shares issued Pursuant to this Return on Assets Incentive Award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever) and, to the extent permitted by law, the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting these Terms and Conditions, the Grantee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim.
 
By accepting this Return on Assets Incentive Award, the Grantee agrees, to the extent not contrary to applicable law, to the General Terms of Employment set out on Attachment 1 and the Arbitration Provisions set out on Attachment 2, which, in each case, are incorporated in these Terms and Conditions by reference.

Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision) and shall be paid within the period necessary to qualify for such exception.

B.           At the time of leaving employment with the Company, the Grantee will deliver to the Company, and not keep or deliver to anyone else, any and all credit cards, drawings, blueprints, specifications, devices, notes, notebooks, memoranda, reports, studies, correspondence and other documents, and, in general, any and all materials relating to the Occidental Parties (whether generated by them or as a result of their business relationships), including any copies (whether in paper or electronic form), that the Grantee has in the Grantee’s possession or control.

Arbitration Provisions


A ny dispute arising out of or in any way related to the Grantee’s employment with any of the Occidental Parties, or the termination of that employment, will be decided exclusively by final and binding arbitration pursuant to any procedures required by applicable law.  To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, any arbitration will be submitted to American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and subject to AAA Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration.  Only the following claims are excluded from these Terms and Conditions: (1) claims for workers’ compensation, unemployment compensation, or state disability benefits, and claims based upon any pension or welfare benefit plan the terms of which contain an arbitration or other non-judicial dispute resolution procedure, (2) to the extent permitted by applicable law, claims for provisional remedies to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of arbitration, (3) claims based on employee compensation award agreements and incentive plans and (4) claims which are not permitted by applicable law to be subject to a binding pre-dispute arbitration agreement.

Any controversy regarding whether a particular dispute is subject to arbitration under this Section shall be decided by the arbitrator.

To the extent required under applicable law, the Grantee’s responsibility for payment of the neutral arbitrator’s fees and expenses shall be limited to an amount equal to the filing fee that would be required for a state trial court action and the Company shall pay all remaining fees and expenses of the arbitrator.  Unless otherwise required under applicable law, the parties shall each pay their pro rata share of the neutral arbitrator's expenses and fees.  Any controversy regarding the payment of fees and expenses under this arbitration provision shall be decided by the arbitrator.

The arbitrator may award any form of remedy or relief (including injunctive relief) that would otherwise be available in court.  Any award pursuant to said arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator setting forth the reason for the award.  The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, and judgment upon the award may be entered, and enforcement may be sought in, any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable laws, the arbitrator will have the authority to hear and grant motions.

EXHIBIT 10.5
OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
OCCIDENTAL OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
RETURN ON ASSETS INCENTIVE AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Equity-based, Equity-settled Award)


Date of Grant:
 
July 22, 2013
     
Target Number of
Performance Shares:
 
See Morgan Stanley Benefit Access
“Stock-Based Awards/My Awards/Awarded”
     
Performance Period:
 
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016


The following Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Occidental” and, with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), and the Eligible Employee receiving this award (the “Grantee”).

1.            Grant of Return on Assets Incentive Award.   In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Shares up to 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Shares awarded pursuant to Sections 4.2 and, to the extent applicable, 5.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goal. Performance Shares are not Shares and have no voting rights or, except as stated in Section 6, dividend rights.

2.            Restrictions on Transfer .   Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any right to receive Shares or cash pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than (i) to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if enforceable under local law), by will or, if the Grantee dies without designating a beneficiary of a valid will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order, if applicable, (if approved or ratified by the Committee).

3.            Performance Goal .   The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on the attainment of at least a minimum Return on Assets, as set forth on Exhibit 1.  Return on Assets for the purposes of Exhibit 1 shall be the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the Net Income for the Oil and Gas Segment (United States and Latin America) for each year in the Performance Period by (ii) the sum of the Assets for the Oil and Gas Segment (United States and Latin America) for each year in the Performance Period.   For the purposes of the foregoing calculation, “Net Income” shall be Results of Operations for the  Oil and Gas Segment (United States and Latin America) for the applicable year and “Assets” will be the Net Capitalized Costs (United States and Latin America) for the applicable year, in each case as reported in the Supplemental Oil and Gas Information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestures and write downs during the Performance Period unless the senior management of Occidental recommends exclusion and the Committee agrees.

4.            Vesting and Forfeiture of Return on Assets Incentive Award.   ( a) If the Grantee fails to accept this award prior to the next record date for the payment of dividends on Occidental


2013 ROAI-OOGC-Americas
1 of 11
 

 
 
 
 

Common Stock subsequent to the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this award, the Grantee shall forfeit all rights under this award and this award will become null and void.  For purposes of this section, acceptance of the award shall occur on the date the Grantee accepts this Return on Assets Incentive Award through Morgan Stanley Benefit Access or any replacement on-line system designated by the Company.

(b) Except as provided in this paragraph and paragraph (e), the Grantee must remain in the continuous employ of the Company through the last day of the Performance Period to receive payment of this award.  The continuous employment of the Grantee will not be deemed to have been interrupted by reason of the transfer of the Grantee’s employment among the Company and its affiliates or an approved leave of absence.  If, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies, becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company and terminates employment as a result thereof, retires with the consent of the Company less than twelve months after the Date of Grant, or terminates employment for the convenience of the Company (each of the foregoing, a “Forfeiture Event”), then the Target Number of Performance Shares upon which the Grantee's award is based will be reduced on a pro rata basis based upon the number of days remaining in the Performance Period following the date of the Forfeiture Event. If the Grantee retires with the consent of the Company twelve months or more after the Date of Grant but on or before the last day of the Performance Period, then the Target Number of Performance Shares will not be reduced.   If the Grantee terminates employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause before the end of the Performance Period, then these Terms and Conditions will terminate automatically on the date of the Grantee’s termination and the Grantee shall forfeit the right to receive any Shares or cash hereunder.

(c) The Grantee's right to receive payment in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based on, and become nonforfeitable upon the Committee’s certification of, the attainment of the Performance Goal.

(d) For the purposes of Section 4(c), if prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee transfers his employment among the Company and its affiliates, the amount of the award attained by the Grantee shall be determined by assessing the level of achievement of the Performance Goals, if any, certified by the Committee for each entity which employed the Grantee during the Performance Period and multiplying the Target Number of Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of days in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of days in the Performance Period.  If employees of the entity to which the Grantee transfers did not receive substantially similar Return on Asset Incentive Awards or Return on Capital Employed Incentive Awards, then the amount of the award attained by the Grantee shall be determined as if the Grantee had not transferred but had remained with Grantee’s original employer.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 4(c), if a Change in Control event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Target Number of Performance Shares will convert into an equivalent number of shares of Restricted Stock, subject to the transfer restrictions in Section 2 and the limitations in Section 22 through the earlier of the date of the Grantee’s termination by the Company as a result of the Change in Control event or the last day of the Performance Period.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no payment shall be made with respect to the Performance Shares that would cause the total payments made to the Grantee to exceed


2013 ROAI-OOGC-Americas
2 of 11
 

 
 
 
 

the limits in the Golden Parachute Policy or not comply with the Section 22 of these Terms and Conditions.

5.            Payment of Awards.   Up to and including 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions, will be settled in Shares only.  The Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Committee’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, but in any event no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

6.            Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents .   With respect to the number of Performance Shares listed above, the Grantee will be credited on the books and records of Occidental with an amount (the “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the amount per share of any cash dividends declared by the Board on the outstanding Shares as and when declared with a record date during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Committee certifies the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, or, if earlier, the date on which the Grantee forfeits the right to receive such portion.  Occidental will pay in cash to the Grantee an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents credited to such Grantee, adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect the same payment percentage that is used to determine the payment of the Performance Shares following certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, as promptly as may be practicable following such certification or Change in Control event, but, in any event, no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

7.            Adjustments .   (a) The number of Performance Shares or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions shall be adjusted as the Committee determines pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan in order to prevent dilution or expansion of the Grantee's rights under these Terms and Conditions as a result of events such as stock dividends, stock splits or other changes in the capital structure of Occidental, or any merger, consolidation, spin-off, liquidation or other corporate transaction having a similar effect.  If any such adjustment occurs, the Company will give the Grantee written notice of the adjustment.

(b) The Committee may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 5.2.3 of the Plan.

8.            No Employment Contract .   Nothing in these Terms and Conditions confers upon the Grantee any right with respect to continued employment by the Company, nor limits in any manner the right of the Company to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee.  Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the Grantee and an authorized representative of the Company, the Grantee’s employment with the Company is at will and may be terminated at any time by the Grantee or the Company.

9.            Taxes and Withholding .   Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  The Grantee


2013 ROAI-OOGC-Americas
3 of 11
 

 
 
 
 

further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Return on Assets Incentive Award, including the grant or vesting of the Return on Assets Incentive Award; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Return on Assets Incentive Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (A) in connection with the issuance of any Shares or any other consideration pursuant to this Return on Assets Incentive Award (other than the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents), from any Shares or cash that are to be issued or paid to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, in any combination as determined by the Committee at the time of Certification, or (B) in connection with the granting of Performance Shares or the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Performance Shares, from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including Dividend Equivalents).  The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of Grantee’s receipt of this Return on Assets Incentive Award that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

10.            Compliance with Law .   The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal, state and non-U.S. laws.  However, if it is not feasible for the Company to comply with these laws with respect to the grant or settlement of these awards, then the awards may be cancelled without any compensation or additional benefits provided to Grantee as a result of the cancellation.

11.            Relation to Other Benefits .   The benefits received by the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions will not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company, including the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary of the Grantee under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company.  Additionally, this Return on Assets Incentive Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses or long-service awards.  The grant of this Return on Assets Incentive Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Return on Assets Incentive Awards or benefits in lieu of Return on Assets Incentive Awards, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Return on Assets Incentive Awards, or other cash or stock awards.

12.            Amendments .   The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time, as provided in the Plan.  Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to these Terms and Conditions to the extent it is applicable to these Terms and Conditions; however, no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions without the Grantee's consent.

13.            Severability.   If one or more of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions is invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidated provisions shall be


2013 ROAI-OOGC-Americas

deemed to be separable from the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, and the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

14.            Entire Agreement; Relation to Plan; Interpretation .   Except as specifically provided in this Section, these Terms and Conditions, the Exhibit and the Attachments incorporated in these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Grantee with respect to this Return on Assets Incentive Award.  These Terms and Conditions are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  In the event of any inconsistent provisions between these Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan control.  Capitalized terms used in these Terms and Conditions without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.  References to Sections, Exhibits and Attachments are to Sections of, and Exhibits and Attachments incorporated in, these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise noted.

18.            Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.   The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Return on Assets Incentive Award granted under the Plan or future awards that may be granted under the Plan (if any) by electronic means or to request the Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to

By accepting this Return on Assets Incentive Award, the Grantee agrees, to the extent not contrary to applicable law, to the General Terms of Employment set out on Attachment 1 and the Arbitration Provisions set out on Attachment 2, which, in each case, are incorporated in these Terms and Conditions by reference.

Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any successor provision) and shall be paid within the period necessary to qualify for such exception.

A.           Except as otherwise required by law or legal process, the Grantee will not publish or divulge to any person, firm, corporation or institution and will not use to the detriment of Occidental, or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or stockholders (collectively, “Occidental Parties”), at any time during or after the Grantee’s employment by the Company, any trade secrets or confidential information of any of them (whether generated by them or as a result of any of their business relationships), including such information as described in Occidental’s Code of Business Conduct and other corporate policies, without first obtaining the written permission of an officer of the Company.
 
B.           At the time of leaving employment with the Company, the Grantee will deliver to the Company, and not keep or deliver to anyone else, any and all credit cards, drawings, blueprints, specifications, devices, notes, notebooks, memoranda, reports, studies, correspondence and other documents, and, in general, any and all materials relating to the Occidental Parties (whether generated by them or as a result of their business relationships), including any copies (whether in paper or electronic form), that the Grantee has in the Grantee’s possession or control.
 
C.           The Grantee will, during the Grantee’s employment by the Company, comply with the provisions of Occidental’s Code of Business Conduct.
 
D.           Except as otherwise required by the Grantee’s job or permitted by law, the Grantee will not make statements about any Occidental Parties (1) to the press, electronic media, to any part of the investment community, to the public, or to any person connected with, employed by or having a relationship with any of them without permission of an officer of the Company or (2) that are derogatory, defamatory or negative.  Nothing herein, however, shall prevent Grantee from making a good faith report or complaint to appropriate governmental authorities.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantee will not interfere with or disrupt any of the Company’s operations or otherwise take actions intended directly to harm any of the Occidental Parties.

EXHIBIT 10.6
OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
2005 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
OCCIDENTAL OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
RETURN ON ASSETS INCENTIVE AWARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Equity-based, Equity-settled Award)


Date of Grant:
 
July 22, 2013
     
Target Number of
Performance Shares:
 
See Morgan Stanley Benefit Access
“Stock-Based Awards/My Awards/Awarded”
     
Performance Period:
 
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016


The following Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Occidental” and, with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), and the Eligible Employee receiving this award (the “Grantee”).

1.            Grant of Return on Assets Incentive Award.   In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Shares up to 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Shares awarded pursuant to Sections 4.2 and, to the extent applicable, 5.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goal. Performance Shares are not Shares and have no voting rights or, except as stated in Section 6, dividend rights.

2.            Restrictions on Transfer .   Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any right to receive Shares or cash pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than (i) to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if enforceable under local law), by will or, if the Grantee dies without designating a beneficiary of a valid will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order, if applicable, (if approved or ratified by the Committee).

3.            Performance Goal .   The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on the attainment of at least a minimum Return on Assets, as set forth on Exhibit 1.  Return on Assets for the purposes of Exhibit 1 shall be the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the  sum of the Net Income for the Oil and Gas Segment (Middle East/North Africa) for each year in the Performance Period by (ii) the sum of the Assets for the Oil and Gas Segment (Middle East/North Africa) for each year in the Performance Period.   For the purposes of the foregoing calculation, “Net Income” shall be Results of Operations for the  Oil and Gas Segment (Middle East/North Africa) for the applicable year and “Assets” will be the Net Capitalized Costs (Middle East/North Africa) for the applicable year, in each case as reported in the Supplemental Oil and Gas Information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestures and write downs during the Performance Period unless the senior management of Occidental recommends exclusion and the Committee agrees.

4.            Vesting and Forfeiture of Return on Assets Incentive Award.   ( a) If the Grantee fails to accept this award prior to the next record date for the payment of dividends on Occidental


2013 ROAI-OOGC-MENA
1 of 11
 

 
 
 
 

Common Stock subsequent to the Date of Grant, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this award, the Grantee shall forfeit all rights under this award and this award will become null and void.  For purposes of this section, acceptance of the award shall occur on the date the Grantee accepts this Return on Assets Incentive Award through Morgan Stanley Benefit Access or any replacement on-line system designated by the Company.

(b) Except as provided in this paragraph and paragraph (e), the Grantee must remain in the continuous employ of the Company through the last day of the Performance Period to receive payment of this award.  The continuous employment of the Grantee will not be deemed to have been interrupted by reason of the transfer of the Grantee’s employment among the Company and its affiliates or an approved leave of absence.  If, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies, becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company and terminates employment as a result thereof, retires with the consent of the Company less than twelve months after the Date of Grant, or terminates employment for the convenience of the Company (each of the foregoing, a “Forfeiture Event”), then the Target Number of Performance Shares upon which the Grantee's award is based will be reduced on a pro rata basis based upon the number of days remaining in the Performance Period following the date of the Forfeiture Event. If the Grantee retires with the consent of the Company twelve months or more after the Date of Grant but on or before the last day of the Performance Period, then the Target Number of Performance Shares will not be reduced.   If the Grantee terminates employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause before the end of the Performance Period, then these Terms and Conditions will terminate automatically on the date of the Grantee’s termination and the Grantee shall forfeit the right to receive any Shares or cash hereunder.

(c) The Grantee's right to receive payment in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based on, and become nonforfeitable upon the Committee’s certification of, the attainment of the Performance Goal.

(d) For the purposes of Section 4(c), if prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee transfers his employment among the Company and its affiliates, the amount of the award attained by the Grantee shall be determined by assessing the level of achievement of the Performance Goals, if any, certified by the Committee for each entity which employed the Grantee during the Performance Period and multiplying the Target Number of Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of days in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of days in the Performance Period.  If employees of the entity to which the Grantee transfers did not receive substantially similar Return on Asset Incentive Awards or Return on Capital Employed Incentive Awards, then the amount of the award attained by the Grantee shall be determined as if the Grantee had not transferred but had remained with Grantee’s original employer.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 4(c), if a Change in Control event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Target Number of Performance Shares will convert into an equivalent number of shares of Restricted Stock, subject to the transfer restrictions in Section 2 and the limitations in Section 22 through the earlier of the date of the Grantee’s termination by the Company as a result of the Change in Control event or the last day of the Performance Period.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no payment shall be made with respect to the Performance Shares that would cause the total payments made to the Grantee to exceed


2013 ROAI-OOGC-MENA
2 of 11
 

 
 
 
 

the limits in the Golden Parachute Policy or not comply with the Section 22 of these Terms and Conditions.

5.            Payment of Awards.   Up to and including 200% of the Target Number of Performance Shares, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions, will be settled in Shares only.  The Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Committee’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, but in any event no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

6.            Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents .   With respect to the number of Performance Shares listed above, the Grantee will be credited on the books and records of Occidental with an amount (the “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the amount per share of any cash dividends declared by the Board on the outstanding Shares as and when declared with a record date during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Committee certifies the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, or, if earlier, the date on which the Grantee forfeits the right to receive such portion.  Occidental will pay in cash to the Grantee an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents credited to such Grantee, adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect the same payment percentage that is used to determine the payment of the Performance Shares following certification of the attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event, as the case may be, as promptly as may be practicable following such certification or Change in Control event, but, in any event, no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

7.            Adjustments .   (a) The number of Performance Shares or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions shall be adjusted as the Committee determines pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan in order to prevent dilution or expansion of the Grantee's rights under these Terms and Conditions as a result of events such as stock dividends, stock splits or other changes in the capital structure of Occidental, or any merger, consolidation, spin-off, liquidation or other corporate transaction having a similar effect.  If any such adjustment occurs, the Company will give the Grantee written notice of the adjustment.

(b) The Committee may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 5.2.3 of the Plan.

8.            No Employment Contract .   Nothing in these Terms and Conditions confers upon the Grantee any right with respect to continued employment by the Company, nor limits in any manner the right of the Company to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee.  Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the Grantee and an authorized representative of the Company, the Grantee’s employment with the Company is at will and may be terminated at any time by the Grantee or the Company.

9.            Taxes and Withholding .   Regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local tax and non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.  The Grantee


2013 ROAI-OOGC-MENA
3 of 11
 

 
 
 
 

further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Return on Assets Incentive Award, including the grant or vesting of the Return on Assets Incentive Award; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Return on Assets Incentive Award to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to the relevant taxable event, the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (A) in connection with the issuance of any Shares or any other consideration pursuant to this Return on Assets Incentive Award (other than the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents), from any Shares or cash that are to be issued or paid to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, in any combination as determined by the Committee at the time of Certification, or (B) in connection with the granting of Performance Shares or the crediting and payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Performance Shares, from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including Dividend Equivalents).  The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold as a result of Grantee’s receipt of this Return on Assets Incentive Award that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

10.            Compliance with Law .   The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal, state and non-U.S. laws.  However, if it is not feasible for the Company to comply with these laws with respect to the grant or settlement of these awards, then the awards may be cancelled without any compensation or additional benefits provided to Grantee as a result of the cancellation.

11.            Relation to Other Benefits .   The benefits received by the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions will not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company, including the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary of the Grantee under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company.  Additionally, this Return on Assets Incentive Award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses or long-service awards.  The grant of this Return on Assets Incentive Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Return on Assets Incentive Awards or benefits in lieu of Return on Assets Incentive Awards, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Return on Assets Incentive Awards, or other cash or stock awards.

12.            Amendments .   The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Board at any time, as provided in the Plan.  Any amendment to the Plan will be deemed to be an amendment to these Terms and Conditions to the extent it is applicable to these Terms and Conditions; however, no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions without the Grantee's consent.

13.            Severability.   If one or more of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions is invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidated provisions shall be


2013 ROAI-OOGC-MENA

deemed to be separable from the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, and the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions will continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

14.            Entire Agreement; Relation to Plan; Interpretation .   Except as specifically provided in this Section, these Terms and Conditions, the Exhibit and the Attachments incorporated in these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Grantee with respect to this Return on Assets Incentive Award.  These Terms and Conditions are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  In the event of any inconsistent provisions between these Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan control.  Capitalized terms used in these Terms and Conditions without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.  References to Sections, Exhibits and Attachments are to Sections of, and Exhibits and Attachments incorporated in, these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise noted.

18.            Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.   The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Return on Assets Incentive Award granted under the Plan or future awards that may be granted under the Plan (if any) by electronic means or to request the Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to

By accepting this Return on Assets Incentive Award, the Grantee agrees, to the extent not contrary to applicable law, to the General Terms of Employment set out on Attachment 1 and the Arbitration Provisions set out on Attachment 2, which, in each case, are incorporated in these Terms and Conditions by reference.

A.           Except as otherwise required by law or legal process, the Grantee will not publish or divulge to any person, firm, corporation or institution and will not use to the detriment of Occidental, or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or stockholders (collectively, “Occidental Parties”), at any time during or after the Grantee’s employment by the Company, any trade secrets or confidential information of any of them (whether generated by them or as a result of any of their business relationships), including such information as described in Occidental’s Code of Business Conduct and other corporate policies, without first obtaining the written permission of an officer of the Company.
 
B.           At the time of leaving employment with the Company, the Grantee will deliver to the Company, and not keep or deliver to anyone else, any and all credit cards, drawings, blueprints, specifications, devices, notes, notebooks, memoranda, reports, studies, correspondence and other documents, and, in general, any and all materials relating to the Occidental Parties (whether generated by them or as a result of their business relationships), including any copies (whether in paper or electronic form), that the Grantee has in the Grantee’s possession or control.
 
C.           The Grantee will, during the Grantee’s employment by the Company, comply with the provisions of Occidental’s Code of Business Conduct.
 
D.           Except as otherwise required by the Grantee’s job or permitted by law, the Grantee will not make statements about any Occidental Parties (1) to the press, electronic media, to any part of the investment community, to the public, or to any person connected with, employed by or having a relationship with any of them without permission of an officer of the Company or (2) that are derogatory, defamatory or negative.  Nothing herein, however, shall prevent Grantee from making a good faith report or complaint to appropriate governmental authorities.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantee will not interfere with or disrupt any of the Company’s operations or otherwise take actions intended directly to harm any of the Occidental Parties.
 
E.           All inventions, developments, designs, improvements, discoveries and ideas that the Grantee makes or conceives in the course of employment by the Company, whether or not during regular working hours, relating to any design, article of manufacture, machine, apparatus, process, method, composition of matter, product or any improvement or component thereof, that are manufactured, sold, leased, used or under development by, or pertain to the present or possible future business of the Company shall be a work-for-hire and become and remain the property of Occidental, its successors and assigns.
 
The provisions of this Section do not apply to an invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, which provides in substance that provisions in an employment agreement providing that an employee shall assign or offer to assign rights in an invention to his or her employer do not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, except for those inventions that either (a) relate, at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention, (1) to the business of the employer or (2) to the employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.
