OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2005

 

1.     General

 

In these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, "Occidental" means Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OPC) and/or one or more entities where it owns a majority voting interest. Certain information and disclosures normally included in notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations, but resultant disclosures are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as they apply to interim reporting. The consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Occidental’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2004 Form 10-K).

In the opinion of Occidental’s management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present Occidental’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2005, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months then ended, as applicable. The results of operations and cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows to be expected for the full year.

Certain financial statements and notes for the prior year have been changed to conform to the 2005 presentation.

In 2005, Occidental reclassified its auction rate security investments from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments on its consolidated balance sheets. These investments contain a short-term repricing feature. As a result, their carrying values approximate their fair values. There have been no realized gains or losses on these investments during 2005 or 2004. Prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. This reclassification resulted in no change to Occidental’s results of operations or cash flow from operations for any period.

Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2004 Form 10-K for a summary of significant accounting policies, including critical accounting policies.

 

2.     Asset Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Transactions

 

In June 2005, Occidental closed a transaction in the Permian Basin which, combined with other acquisitions of oil and gas property interests completed earlier in the year and dispositions of a portion of the acquired properties, resulted in the addition of approximately 25,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) in daily production. The second quarter production amounts included only a portion of this volume increase, and the remainder will be added in the third quarter.  The gross cash outlay to acquire the interests in this production was $1.4 billion, of which $1.1 billion was paid in the second quarter of 2005. This was partially offset by cash proceeds totaling $178 million from dispositions of a portion of the acquired properties, the largest of which occurred in July 2005. Occidental hedged a portion of its existing Permian Basin production in anticipation of these transactions. See Note 10 for further information.

In June 2005, Occidental completed the purchase of three chlor-alkali chemical manufacturing facilities from Vulcan Materials Company (Vulcan) for $214 million in cash, plus contingent payments based upon the future performance of these facilities and the assumption of certain liabilities. To obtain regulatory approval for this acquisition, Occidental divested itself of one of the facilities.

 

 

6

 

 

In the second quarter of 2005, Occidental redeemed $75 million of 4.1% senior medium-term notes. This resulted in an after-tax charge of $1 million.

In the first quarter of 2005, Occidental redeemed all of its 7.65-percent senior notes which reduced current maturities of long-term debt by approximately $459 million. This resulted in an after-tax charge of $6 million.

 

3.     Accounting Changes

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a change in accounting principle. It applies both to voluntary changes and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement if the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. APB 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principles be recognized by recording the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Occidental plans to adopt this statement on January 1, 2006 and it is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements upon adoption.

In April 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. (FSP) FAS 19-1, “Accounting for Suspended Well Costs.” FSP FAS 19-1 provides new accounting guidance that specifies when successful efforts companies can capitalize exploratory well costs. The guidance also requires new disclosures related to these costs. FSP FAS 19-1 is effective in the first reporting period beginning after April 4, 2005 and should be applied prospectively to existing and new exploratory well costs. Occidental plans to adopt this statement effective July 1, 2005 and it is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements upon adoption.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 specifies the accounting treatment for conditional asset retirement obligations under the provisions of Statement of Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Occidental plans to adopt this statement effective December 31, 2005. Occidental is currently assessing the effect of FIN 47 on its financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R) "Share-Based Payments." SFAS No. 123R requires that the cost from all share-based payment transactions, including stock options, be recognized in the financial statements at fair value. Occidental currently uses the provisions of APB No. 25 to account for its share-based payments. Public companies are required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R by the beginning of the first fiscal year ending after June 15, 2005. As permitted by the standard, Occidental will early adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R in the third quarter of 2005. Since most of Occidental’s existing stock-based compensation is already recorded on the income statement, Occidental decided to early adopt SFAS 123R, so that the remaining awards are accounted for in a similar manner. The cumulative effect of adopting this statement is expected to have an insignificant effect on the financial statements. The effect on earnings, subsequent to adoption, will depend on Occidental’s future stock price and the amount of stock-based compensation that is awarded to employees in the future.

Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures

Occidental’s operations in the United States are subject to stringent federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to improving or maintaining environmental quality. Foreign operations also are subject to environmental-protection laws. The laws that require or address environmental remediation may apply to past waste disposal practices and releases. In many cases, the laws apply regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or current ownership or control of sites. OPC or certain of its subsidiaries are currently participating in environmental assessments and cleanups under these laws at sites subject to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), comparable state sites and other domestic and foreign remediation sites, including Occidental facilities and previously owned sites.

 

The following table presents Occidental’s environmental remediation reserves at June 30, 2005, which are included in accrued liabilities ($76 million) and deferred credits and other liabilities – other ($340 million). The reserves are grouped by three categories of environmental remediation sites as follows ($ amounts in millions):

In determining the environmental remediation reserves and the reasonably possible range of loss, Occidental refers to currently available information, including relevant past experience, available technology, regulations in effect, the timing of remediation and cost-sharing arrangements. Occidental expects it may continue to incur additional liabilities beyond those recorded for environmental remediation at these and other sites. The range of reasonably possible loss for existing environmental remediation matters could be up to $385 million beyond the amount accrued.

Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2004 Form 10-K for additional information regarding Occidental’s environmental expenditures.

Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters

OPC and certain of its subsidiaries have been named in a substantial number of lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings. These actions seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses; or injunctive or declaratory relief. OPC and certain of its subsidiaries also have been named in proceedings under CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages and civil penalties; however, Occidental is usually one of many companies in these proceedings and has to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, including environmental proceedings, Occidental accrues reserves when it believes it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

 

During the course of its operations, Occidental is subject to audit by tax authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. Disputes arise during the course of such audits as to facts and matters of law. In May 2005, Occidental entered into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) resolving certain foreign tax credit issues as part of the IRS audit of tax years 1997-2000. The closing agreement was completed after an extensive IRS review of various complex tax issues and negotiations between Occidental and the IRS. As a result of the closing agreement, Occidental recorded a tax benefit of about $619 million for the reversal of tax reserves that were previously established for those foreign tax credit issues. This resolution did not have a significant current cash effect. Taxable years prior to 1998 are closed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Taxable years 1998 through 2003 continue to be open for audit by the IRS. Occidental believes that it is reasonably possible that additional issues for taxable years 1998 to 2000 could be concluded during 2005 with a favorable effect on the statement of operations, and that such resolutions, if they occur, would not be material to its financial position.

 

Occidental has guarantees outstanding at June 30, 2005 which encompass performance bonds, letters of credit, indemnities, commitments and other forms of guarantees provided by Occidental to third parties, mainly to provide assurance that Occidental and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates will meet their various obligations (guarantees). At June 30, 2005, the notional amount of these guarantees was approximately $500 million. Of this amount, approximately $400 million relates to Occidental’s guarantee of equity investees’ debt and other commitments. The remaining $100 million relates to various indemnities and guarantees provided to third parties. The amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheet for these guarantees was immaterial.

 

 

10

 

 

 

It is impossible at this time to determine the ultimate liabilities that OPC and its subsidiaries may incur resulting from any lawsuits, claims and proceedings, audits, commitments, contingencies and related matters. If these matters were to be ultimately resolved unfavorably at amounts substantially exceeding Occidental’s reserves, an outcome not currently anticipated, it is possible that such outcome could have a material adverse effect upon Occidental’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, after taking into account reserves, management does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of these matters to have a material adverse effect upon Occidental’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

 

10.

Derivative Activities

 

In the second quarter of 2005, Occidental terminated all of its interest rate swaps that were accounted for as fair value hedges. These hedges had effectively converted approximately $1.2 billion of fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. The fair value of the swaps at termination resulted in a gain of approximately $20 million which will be amortized into income over the remaining life of the previously-hedged debt.

During the first quarter of 2005, Occidental entered into a series of fixed price swaps and costless collar agreements that qualify as cash-flow hedges for the sale of its crude oil production. These hedges, which begin in July 2005 and continue to the end of 2011, will hedge less than 4% of Occidental’s current crude oil production. The June 30, 2005 accumulated other comprehensive income account includes derivative mark-to-market after-tax losses of $249 million from changes in these cash flow hedges.

 

11.

Income Taxes

 

The provision for taxes based on income for the 2005 and 2004 interim periods was computed in accordance with Interpretation No. 18 of APB No. 28 on reporting taxes for interim periods and was based on projections of total year pre-tax income.

The tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, includes a $619 million tax benefit related to the resolution of certain IRS tax issues. See Note 9 for further information. The tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes a net $10 million charge related to a state income tax issue and the tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes a $20 million credit related to a first quarter 2004 settlement of an issue with the IRS.

Stock-Based Compensation

Occidental accounts for its stock incentive plans (Plans) using the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25 and related interpretations. Had compensation expense for those Plans been determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, Occidental’s pro-forma net income and earnings per share would have been as follows (in $ millions, except per share amounts):

Effective as of June 20, 2005, the holders of substantially all of Occidental’s unvested performance stock awards agreed to the amendment of such awards to provide cash settlement for award payouts in excess of 100% of the target. This modification does not change the amount of expense that Occidental records for its performance stock awards under APB No. 25, except that the cash settled portion of the performance stock award was reclassified from additional paid-in capital to other liabilities on the balance sheet.

On December 8, 2003, President Bush signed into law a bill that expands Medicare, primarily by adding a prescription drug benefit for Medicare-eligible retirees starting in 2006. Regulations governing the Medical Prescription drug benefit and other key elements of the Medicare Modernization Act were released by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on January 21, 2005. Occidental is reviewing its retiree health care plans in light of these final regulations, which may change Occidental’s obligations under the plans. At this time, Occidental is unable to determine the impact of the new Medicare provisions. The retiree medical obligations and costs reported do not reflect the impact of this legislation in accordance with FSP No. FAS 106-2. Occidental intends to adopt the accounting requirements of this standard and adjust its retiree medical obligations and costs by the end of 2005.

Occidental funded approximately $2 million in cash to its domestic defined benefit pension plans for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and it does not expect to contribute any further amount in 2005.

Refer to Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2004 Form 10-K for additional information regarding Occidental’s retirement plans and postretirement benefits.

 

14.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

In May 2005, Occidental sold 11 million shares of Lyondell Chemical Company (Lyondell) for gross proceeds of approximately $300 million. This sale resulted in a second quarter 2005 pre-tax gain of $140 million. Occidental has no current plans to divest itself of its remaining Lyondell shares. However, Occidental regularly reviews and analyzes its investments and other operations in order to determine how its stockholders’ interests are best served. Occidental still owns 30.3 million of Lyondell shares and warrants to purchase an additional 5 million shares of Lyondell stock. Occidental continues to account for this investment on the equity method since it has the ability to exercise significant influence over Lyondell.

In May 2005, Dolphin Energy Limited signed a gas sales agreement with Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP) to deliver future supplies of Dolphin gas from Qatar to a power plant in Jebel Ali. The agreement provides for the supply of up to 700 million standard cubic feet of gas per day for a period of 25 years.

In April 2005, Valero Energy Corp. (Valero) and Premcor Inc. (Premcor) announced that the companies have executed a merger agreement for Valero to acquire Premcor in an $8 billion transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, Premcor shareholders will have the right to receive 0.99 shares of Valero common stock or $72.76 in cash for each share of Premcor common stock, or they can receive a combination of both, subject to proration so that 50 percent of the total Premcor shares are acquired for cash. At June 30, 2005, Occidental owned over 9 million shares of Premcor.

Industry Segments

As of January 1, 2005, Occidental revised its reporting of segment earnings to show segment earnings before income taxes. All domestic and foreign income tax expense is now reflected in the “Corporate and Other” column. This change has been retrospectively applied to prior period results.

Subsequent Events

In July 2005, Occidental received a Royal Decree issued by the Sultanate of Oman formally approving the contract to develop the Mukhaizna oil field, one of the largest oilfields in Oman. Under the terms of the new production sharing contract, Occidental will be the operator of the field and hold a 45-percent working interest.

In July 2005, Occidental gave notice that it will redeem, out of existing cash on hand, three debt issues with a total notional amount of $333 million, most of which is due in 2007. These debt issues are classified as current liabilities on the June 30, 2005 balance sheet.

Occidental suspended all activities in Libya in 1986 as a result of economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. government. During the imposition of sanctions, Occidental derived no economic benefit from its Libyan interests and had no Libyan assets on its balance sheet. In 2004, the U.S. government lifted all of the principal economic sanctions against Libya. However, Libya continues to be designated as a country supporting international terrorism under section 6(j) of the U.S. Export Administration Act and, as such, continues to be subject to certain limited sanctions.

 

On June 28, 2005, Occidental reached agreement with the National Oil Corporation of Libya (NOC), subject to final Libyan governmental approval, to resume its participation in the operation of the assets that Occidental left in 1986. On July 25, 2005, Occidental was advised by the NOC that the Libyan authorities approved the terms and conditions of the re-entry agreement. The agreement allows Occidental to return to its Libyan operations on generally the same terms in effect when activities were suspended. Those assets consist of 3 producing contracts in the Sirte Basin and four exploration blocks. Net production to Occidental under the contracts is initially expected to be in the range of 12,000 to 15,000 barrels of oil per day. The agreement requires Occidental to pay to NOC approximately $133 million in re-entry bonuses and capital adjustment and work-in-progress payments and $10 million per year while Occidental continues to operate in Libya as reimbursements for past development costs associated with the historical assets. In addition, Occidental has committed to spend $90 million over the next five years in the four exploration blocks. Currently, Occidental’s rights in the producing fields extend through early 2009 and early 2010.

 

Separately, in January 2005, Occidental participated in the EPSA IV exploration bid round in Libya. Occidental was the successful bidder on nine of the 15 areas available. Occidental will operate five onshore areas and will have a 90-percent exploration working interest. In addition, Occidental will have a 35-percent exploration working interest in four offshore areas. The offshore areas will be operated by Woodside Petroleum Ltd. Occidental paid approximately $90 million in exploration lease bonuses as successful bidder and committed to spend an additional $125 million over the next 5 years.

On July 21, 2005, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) announced the approval of Occidental’s plan to construct a $450 million liquefied natural gas terminal and a related 26-mile-long pipeline near Corpus Christi, Texas. The terminal, if built, is expected to be able to deliver 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas to consumers, will be adjacent to and integrated with Occidental’s existing Ingleside chemical and power facilities.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Occidental (as defined in Note 1 to the consolidated condensed financial statements) reported net income for the first six months of 2005 of $2.4 billion, on net sales of $6.8 billion, compared with net income of $1.1 billion, on net sales of $5.3 billion, for the same period of 2004. Basic earnings per common share were $5.94 for the first six months of 2005, compared with basic earnings per share of $2.72 for the same period of 2004. Occidental reported net income for the second quarter of 2005 of $1.5 billion, on net sales of $3.5 billion, compared with net income of $581 million, on net sales of $2.7 billion, for the same period of 2004. Basic earnings per common share were $3.82 for the second quarter of 2005, compared with basic earnings per share of $1.48 for the same period of 2004.

Net income for the first six months and the second quarter of 2005 included a $619 million tax benefit resulting from an IRS settlement, a $140 million pre-tax gain on sale of 11 million shares of Lyondell stock and a $26 million pre-tax expense related to a contract settlement. Net income for the first six months of 2005 included a $10 million pre-tax interest charge to redeem outstanding 7.65-percent senior notes and a net $10 million charge related to a state income tax issue. Net income for the first six months of 2004 included a pre-tax charge of $11 million for the redemption of all of the outstanding 8.16-percent Trust Preferred Redeemable Securities (trust preferred securities) and a $20 million credit from settlement of a tax issue. Net income for the second quarter of 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, reflected higher oil and gas prices and higher chemical margins resulting from higher chemical prices, partially offset by lower oil production, higher oil and gas production and exploration costs, higher DD&A expense and higher energy and raw material costs.

Selected Income Statement Items

The increase in net sales of $794 million and $1.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, reflected higher crude oil, natural gas and chemical prices. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the gains on disposition of assets, net account included a pre-tax gain of $140 million on the sale of 11 million shares of Lyondell stock.

The increase in cost of sales of $190 million and $342 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2004, reflected higher oil and gas production costs, higher DD&A expense and higher energy and chemicals raw material costs. The increase of $86 million and $137 million in selling, general and administrative and other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004, reflected increases in share-based compensation expense and various corporate costs, higher operating costs and a $26 million contract settlement. The increase in exploration expense of $71 million and $64 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2004, reflected a $66 million pre-tax unproved property impairment as a result of an unsuccessful deep gas well at Elk Hills. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, includes a $619 million tax benefit related to the resolution of certain IRS tax issues. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes a net $10 million charge related to a state income tax issue and the provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes a $20 million credit related to a first quarter 2004 settlement of an issue with the IRS. The increase in income from equity investments of $19 million and $75 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2004, was primarily attributable to improved results from the Lyondell equity investment.

Selected Analysis of Financial Position

The increase in receivables, net, of $624 million at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004, was primarily due to higher sales prices. The increase in property, plant and equipment of $2.3 billion at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004, was due to the Permian Basin oil and gas transactions, the acquisition of chlor-alkali chemical manufacturing facilities from Vulcan and continued capital investment in oil and gas and chemical assets. The increase in accounts payable of $355 million at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004, was due to higher payable balances in the oil and gas marketing and trading operations. The increase in deferred credits and other liabilities – other of $400 million was primarily due to increases in derivative non-current liabilities related to crude oil production hedges and accruals related to the Vulcan plant and Permian Basin acquisitions partially offset by the reduction in liabilities related to the IRS settlement.

Segment Operations

 

As of January 1, 2005, Occidental revised its reporting of segment earnings to show segment earnings before income taxes. All domestic and foreign income tax expense is now reflected in the income taxes line under Unallocated Corporate Items. This reporting change has been retrospectively applied to prior period results. The following table sets forth the sales and earnings of each industry segment and unallocated corporate items (in millions):

Significant Items Affecting Earnings

Occidental’s results of operations often include the effects of significant transactions and events affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably in nature, timing and amount. Therefore, management uses a measure called “core earnings”, which excludes those items. This non-GAAP measure is not meant to disassociate those items from management’s performance, but rather is meant to provide useful information to investors interested in comparing Occidental’s earnings performance between periods. Reported earnings are considered representative of management’s performance over the long term. Core earnings is not considered to be an alternative to operating income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The following table sets forth the core earnings and significant items affecting earnings for each operating segment and corporate for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:

Occidental’s three and six months ended June 30, 2005 worldwide effective tax rate was 3% and 21%, respectively. The three and six months ended June 30, 2005 worldwide tax rate reflected a $619 million tax benefit related to the resolution of certain tax issues with the IRS. The recorded tax benefit was the result of a closing agreement with the IRS, which resolved certain foreign tax credit issues as part of the IRS audit of tax years 1997 - 2000.

Oil and gas segment and core earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $2.7 billion, compared with $1.9 billion for the same period of 2004. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, oil and gas segment earnings were $1.33 billion and core earnings were $1.35 billion, compared with $1.0 billion of segment and core earnings for the same period of 2004. The increase in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, primarily reflected higher crude oil and natural gas prices partially offset by lower oil production, higher operating expenses and higher exploration expense.

The increase in net sales of $570 million and $1.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, primarily reflected higher crude oil and natural gas prices partially offset by lower crude oil production.

The decrease in daily production of 19,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) and 11,000 BOE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, was due to several factors. As discussed in the 2004 Form 10-K, price changes impact Occidental’s share of volumes

 

21

 

 

reported from its production-sharing contracts in Qatar, Oman, Yemen and Long Beach. These price changes adversely impacted second quarter daily 2005 production by 15,000 BOE compared to the same period in 2004. In addition, production was lower due to Horn Mountain scheduled maintenance, completion of which was delayed by adverse weather conditions in the Gulf of Mexico. Production was also impacted by lower production from Occidental’s non-operated assets in Pakistan, Russia and Yemen.

The average West Texas Intermediate price in the second quarter of 2005 was $53.17 per barrel and the average New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) natural gas price for the second quarter of 2005 was $6.46 per million BTU’s. Occidental’s realized oil price for the second quarter 2005 was $45.41 per barrel, compared to $33.12 for the second quarter 2004. For the first six months of 2005, Occidental’s realized price was $43.53 per barrel compared to last year’s realized price of $31.77. Occidental’s realized oil price increased $3.70 per barrel in the second quarter 2005, compared to the first quarter 2005, while WTI prices increased by $3.33 per barrel in the same period. A change of 10 cents per million BTU’s in NYMEX gas prices has a quarterly impact on oil and gas segment earnings of $5 million while a $1.00 per barrel change in oil prices has a quarterly impact of $34 million, in each case before the effect of income taxes.

Average worldwide production costs for the first six months of 2005 were $8.18 per BOE compared to the average 2004 production cost of $6.95 per BOE. Production costs increased due to higher production-related taxes and higher utility costs resulting from higher oil and gas prices.

Occidental expects third quarter 2005 oil and gas production to be approximately 570,000 BOE per day. However, production could vary due to price-driven adjustments in the volumes under production-sharing contracts in Oman, Qatar, Yemen and Long Beach and weather conditions in the Gulf of Mexico, which impact the Horn Mountain operations.

In June 2005, Occidental closed a transaction in the Permian Basin which, combined with other acquisitions of oil and gas property interests completed earlier in the year and dispositions of a portion of the acquired properties, resulted in the addition of approximately 25,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) in daily production. The second quarter production amounts included only a portion of this volume increase, and the remainder will be added in the third quarter.  The gross cash outlay to acquire the interests in this production was $1.4 billion, of which $1.1 billion was paid in the second quarter of 2005. This was partially offset by cash proceeds totaling $178 million from dispositions of a portion of the acquired properties, the largest of which occurred in July 2005. Occidental hedged a portion of its existing Permian Basin production ranging from 12,000 to 16,000 barrels of oil per day through 2011 in anticipation of these transactions.

In July 2005, Occidental received a Royal Decree issued by the Sultanate of Oman formally approving the contract to develop the Mukhaizna oil field, one of the largest oilfields in Oman. Under the terms of the new production sharing contract, Occidental will be the operator of the field and hold a 45-percent working interest.

Occidental suspended all activities in Libya in 1986 as a result of economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. government. During the imposition of sanctions, Occidental derived no economic benefit from its Libyan interests and had no Libyan assets on its balance sheet. In 2004, the U.S. government lifted all of the principal economic sanctions against Libya. However, Libya continues to be designated as a country supporting international terrorism under section 6(j) of the U.S. Export Administration Act and, as such, continues to be subject to certain limited sanctions.

 

On June 28, 2005, Occidental reached agreement with the National Oil Corporation of Libya (NOC), subject to final Libyan governmental approval, to resume its participation in the operation of the assets that Occidental left in 1986. On July 25, 2005, Occidental was advised by the National Oil Corporation that the Libyan authorities approved the terms and conditions of the re-entry agreement. The agreement allows Occidental to return to its Libyan operations on generally the same terms in effect when activities were suspended. Those assets consist of 3 producing contracts in the Sirte Basin and four exploration blocks. Net production to Occidental under the contracts is initially expected to be in the range of 12,000 to 15,000 barrels of oil per day. The agreement requires Occidental to pay to NOC approximately $133 million in re-entry bonuses and capital adjustment and work-in-progress payments and $10 million per

 

22

 

 

year while Occidental continues to operate in Libya as reimbursements for past development costs associated with the historical assets. In addition, Occidental has committed to spend $90 million over the next five years in the four exploration blocks. Currently, Occidental’s rights in the producing fields extend through early 2009 and early 2010.

 

Separately, in January 2005, Occidental participated in the EPSA IV exploration bid round in Libya. Occidental was the successful bidder on nine of the 15 areas available. Occidental will operate five onshore areas and will have a 90-percent exploration working interest. In addition, Occidental will have a 35-percent exploration working interest in four offshore areas. The offshore areas will be operated by Woodside Petroleum Ltd. Occidental paid approximately $90 million in exploration lease bonuses as successful bidder and committed to spend an additional $125 million over the next 5 years.

In May 2005, Dolphin Energy Limited signed a gas sales agreement with Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP) to deliver future supplies of Dolphin gas from Qatar to a power plant in Jebel Ali. The agreement provides for the supply of up to 700 million standard cubic feet of gas per day for a period of 25 years.

Chemical segment and core earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $439 million, compared with $148 million for the same period of 2004. Chemical segment and core earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $225 million, compared with $92 million for the same period of 2004. The increase in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, primarily reflected higher margins due to higher sales prices for caustic soda, polyvinyl chloride resins (PVC), vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and chlorine partially offset by higher energy and feedstock costs.

The increase in net sales of $217 million and $444 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2004, primarily reflected higher sales prices for caustic soda, PVC, VCM and chlorine partially offset by lower sales volume for VCM and PVC.

Occidental expects third quarter 2005 earnings to be similar to second quarter 2005. Occidental expects a small reduction in product demand which may be offset by the benefit of the acquisition of the Vulcan chlor-alkali facilities discussed below.

In June 2005, Occidental completed the purchase of three chlor-alkali chemical manufacturing facilities from Vulcan Materials Company (Vulcan) for $214 million in cash, plus contingent payments based upon the future performance of these facilities and the assumption of certain liabilities. To obtain regulatory approval for this acquisition Occidental divested itself of one of the facilities.

Corporate and Other

The three and six months ended June 30, 2005, unallocated corporate items – income taxes account includes a $619 million tax benefit related to the resolution of certain IRS tax issues. The unallocated corporate items – income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes a net $10 million charge related to a state income tax issue and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes a $20 million credit related to a first quarter 2004 settlement of an issue with the IRS.

In May 2005, Occidental sold 11 million shares of Lyondell Chemical Company (Lyondell) for gross proceeds of approximately $300 million. This sale resulted in a second quarter 2005 pre-tax gain of $140 million. Occidental has no current plans to divest itself of its remaining Lyondell shares. However, Occidental regularly reviews and analyzes its investments and other operations in order to determine how its stockholders’ interests are best served. Occidental still owns 30.3 million of Lyondell shares and warrants to purchase an additional 5 million shares of Lyondell stock. Occidental continues to account for this investment on the equity method since it has the ability to exercise significant influence over Lyondell.

In April 2005, Valero Energy Corp. (Valero) and Premcor Inc. (Premcor) announced that the companies have executed a merger agreement for Valero to acquire Premcor in an $8 billion transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, Premcor shareholders will have the right to receive 0.99 shares of Valero common stock or $72.76 in cash for each share of Premcor common stock, or they can receive a combination of both, subject to proration so that 50 percent of the total Premcor shares are acquired for cash. At June 30, 2005, Occidental owned over 9 million shares of Premcor. If this agreement closes as discussed above, Occidental expects to record a significant gain from the transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Occidental’s net cash provided by operating activities was $2.4 billion for the first six months of 2005, compared with $1.5 billion for the same period of 2004. The significant increase in operating cash flow in 2005, compared to 2004, resulted from several factors. The most important drivers were the significantly higher oil and natural gas prices and, to a much lesser extent, higher chemical prices. In the first six months of 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, Occidental's realized oil price was higher by 37 percent and Occidental’s realized natural gas price increased 23 percent in the U.S., where approximately 80 percent of Occidental’s natural gas was produced.

Increases in the costs of producing oil and gas, such as utilities, production taxes, purchased goods and services, particularly materials and oil field services, partially offset oil and gas sales price increases, but such cost increases had a much lower effect on cash flow than the realized price increases. Other cost elements, such as labor costs and overheads, are not significant drivers of cash flow because they vary within a narrow range over the short-to-intermediate term.

Increases in sales prices realized for Occidental's major chemical product lines for the first six months of 2005, compared to the same period of 2004, ranged from 18 to 141 percent. Chemical prices increased in the first six months of 2005 at a higher rate than the energy-driven increase in feedstock and power costs, thereby improving margins and cash flow. Chemical price changes had a less significant effect on cash flow because chemical segment earnings and cash flow are significantly smaller than those for the oil and gas segment and because of increases in energy price-driven feedstock and electric power costs, which are major elements of manufacturing cost for the chemical segment's products.

 

Occidental’s net cash used by investing activities was $2.4 billion for the first six months of 2005, compared with net cash used of $1.2 billion for the same period of 2004. The 2005 amount includes the cash payments for the Permian Basin transactions and the acquisition of the Vulcan chlor-alkali manufacturing facilities which were partially offset by the cash proceeds from the sale of Lyondell shares. The 2004 amount includes a $208 million advance to the Elk Hills Power LLC (EHP) equity investment which EHP used to repay a portion of its debt. The 2004 amount also includes the purchase of a pipeline and gathering system in Texas.

 

24

 

 

 

Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2005 were $1.1 billion, including $988 million for oil and gas and $62 million for chemical. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2004 were $804 million, including $744 million for oil and gas and $56 million for chemical.

Financing activities used net cash of $566 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with cash used of $565 million for the same period of 2004. The 2005 amount includes net debt payments of approximately $430 million. The 2004 amount includes the total cash paid of $466 million to redeem the trust preferred securities in January 2004.

In the first quarter of 2005, Occidental filed a shelf registration statement for up to $1.5 billion of various securities. No securities have been issued under this shelf.

Available but unused lines of committed bank credit totaled approximately $1.5 billion at June 30, 2005 and cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $870 million on the June 30, 2005 balance sheet.

At June 30, 2005, under the most restrictive covenants of certain financing agreements, Occidental’s capacity for additional unsecured borrowing was approximately $28.7 billion, and the capacity for the payment of cash dividends and other distributions on, and for acquisitions of, Occidental’s capital stock was approximately $10.7 billion, assuming that such dividends, distributions and acquisitions were made without incurring additional borrowing.

Occidental currently expects to spend approximately $2.3 billion on its 2005 capital spending program. Although its income and cash flows are largely dependent on oil and gas prices and production, Occidental believes that cash on hand, short-term investments and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its operating needs, capital expenditure requirements, dividend payments and potential acquisitions.

In July 2005, Occidental gave notice that it will redeem, out of existing cash on hand, three debt issues with a total notional amount of $333 million, most of which is due in 2007. These debt issues are classified as current liabilities on the June 30, 2005 balance sheet and are expected to more than offset the planned increase in project-financed debt for the Dolphin Project.

Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures

Occidental’s operations in the United States are subject to stringent federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to improving or maintaining environmental quality. Foreign operations also are subject to environmental-protection laws. The laws that require or address environmental remediation may apply to past waste disposal practices and releases. In many cases, the laws apply regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or current ownership or control of sites. OPC or certain of its subsidiaries are currently participating in environmental assessments and cleanups under these laws at sites subject to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), comparable state sites and other domestic and foreign remediation sites, including Occidental facilities and previously owned sites.

The following table presents Occidental’s environmental remediation reserves at June 30, 2005, which are grouped by three categories of environmental remediation sites as follows ($ amounts in millions):

In determining the environmental remediation reserves and the reasonably possible range of loss, Occidental refers to currently available information, including relevant past experience, available technology, regulations in effect, the timing of remediation and cost-sharing arrangements. Occidental expects it may continue to incur additional liabilities beyond those recorded for environmental remediation at these and other sites. The range of reasonably possible loss for existing environmental remediation matters could be up to $385 million beyond the amount accrued.

The following table shows additional detail regarding reserves for CERCLA or CERCLA-equivalent sites in which OPC or certain of its subsidiaries were involved at June 30, 2005 ($ amounts in millions):

Refer to the “Environmental Expenditures” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2004 Form 10-K for additional information regarding Occidental’s environmental expenditures.

Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters

OPC and certain of its subsidiaries have been named in a substantial number of lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings. These actions seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses; or injunctive or declaratory relief. OPC and certain of its subsidiaries also have been named in proceedings under CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages and civil penalties; however, Occidental is usually one of many companies in these proceedings and has to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, including environmental proceedings, Occidental accrues reserves when it believes it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

 

During the course of its operations, Occidental is subject to audit by tax authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. Disputes arise during the course of such audits as to facts and matters of law. In May 2005, Occidental entered into a closing agreement with the IRS resolving certain foreign tax credit issues as part of the IRS audit of tax years 1997-2000. The closing agreement was completed after an extensive IRS review of various complex tax issues and negotiations between Occidental and the IRS. As a result of the closing agreement, Occidental recorded a tax benefit of about $619 million for the reversal of tax reserves that were previously established for those foreign tax credit issues. This resolution did not have a significant current cash effect. Taxable years prior to 1998 are closed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Taxable years 1998 through 2003 continue to be open for audit by the IRS. Occidental believes that it is reasonably possible that additional issues for taxable

 

26

 

 

years 1998 to 2000 could be concluded during 2005 with a favorable effect on the statement of operations, and that such resolutions, if they occur, would not be material to its financial position.

 

Occidental has guarantees outstanding at June 30, 2005 which encompass performance bonds, letters of credit, indemnities, commitments and other forms of guarantees provided by Occidental to third parties, mainly to provide assurance that Occidental and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates will meet their various obligations (guarantees). At June 30, 2005, the notional amount of these guarantees was approximately $500 million. Of this amount, approximately $400 million relates to Occidental’s guarantee of equity investees’ debt and other commitments. The remaining $100 million relates to various indemnities and guarantees provided to third parties. The amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheet for these guarantees was immaterial.

 

It is impossible at this time to determine the ultimate liabilities that OPC and its subsidiaries may incur resulting from any lawsuits, claims and proceedings, audits, commitments, contingencies and related matters. If these matters were to be ultimately resolved unfavorably at amounts substantially exceeding Occidental’s reserves, an outcome not currently anticipated, it is possible that such outcome could have a material adverse effect upon Occidental’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, after taking into account reserves, management does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of these matters to have a material adverse effect upon Occidental’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Changes

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” This Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of a change in accounting principle. It applies both to voluntary changes and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement if the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. APB 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principles be recognized by recording the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Occidental plans to adopt this statement on January 1, 2006 and it is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements upon adoption.

In April 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. (FSP) FAS 19-1, “Accounting for Suspended Well Costs.” FSP FAS 19-1 provides new accounting guidance that specifies when successful efforts companies can capitalize exploratory well costs. The guidance also requires new disclosures related to these costs. FSP FAS 19-1 is effective in the first reporting period beginning after April 4, 2005 and should be applied prospectively to existing and new exploratory well costs. Occidental plans to adopt this statement effective July 1, 2005 and it is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements upon adoption.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN 47 specifies the accounting treatment for conditional asset retirement obligations under the provisions of Statement of Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Occidental plans to adopt this statement effective December 31, 2005. Occidental is currently assessing the effect of FIN 47 on its financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R) "Share-Based Payments." SFAS No. 123R requires that the cost from all share-based payment transactions, including stock options, be recognized in the financial statements at fair value. Occidental currently uses the provisions of APB No. 25 to account for its share-based payments. Public companies are required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R by the beginning of the first fiscal year ending after June 15, 2005. As permitted by the standard, Occidental will early adopt the provisions of SFAS 123R in the third quarter of 2005. Since most of Occidental’s existing stock-based compensation is already recorded in the income statement, Occidental decided to early adopt SFAS 123R, so that the remaining awards are accounted for

 

27

 

 

in a similar manner. The cumulative effect of adopting this statement is expected to have an insignificant effect on the financial statements. The effect on earnings, subsequent to adoption, will depend on Occidental’s future stock price and the amount of stock-based compensation that is awarded to employees in the future.

Safe Harbor Statement Regarding Outlook and Forward-Looking Information

Portions of this report contain forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results of operations, liquidity, cash flows and business prospects. Factors that could cause results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: exploration risks such as drilling unsuccessful wells, global commodity pricing fluctuations; competitive pricing pressures; higher-than-expected costs, including feedstocks; crude oil and natural gas prices; chemical prices; potential liability for remedial actions under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation; potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; general domestic and international political conditions; potential disruption or interruption of Occidental’s production or manufacturing facilities due to accidents, political events or insurgent activity; potential failure to achieve expected production from existing and future oil and gas development projects; the supply/demand considerations for Occidental’s products; any general economic recession or slowdown domestically or internationally; regulatory uncertainties; and not successfully completing, or any material delay of, any development of new fields, expansion, capital expenditure, efficiency-improvement project, acquisition or disposition. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate”, “project”, “predict”, “will”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “intend”, “believe”, “expect” or similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Occidental expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed might not occur.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

In the second quarter of 2005, Occidental terminated all of its interest rate swaps that were accounted for as fair value hedges. These hedges had effectively converted approximately $1.2 billion of fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. The fair value of the swaps at termination resulted in a gain of approximately $20 million which will be amortized into income over the remaining life of the previously hedged debt. The table below provides information about Occidental’s long-term debt obligations at June 30, 2005, that are sensitive to changes in interest rates in a tabular presentation. The debt amounts represent principal payments by maturity date.

During the first quarter of 2005, Occidental entered into a series of fixed price swaps and costless collar agreements that qualify as cash-flow hedges for the sale of its crude oil production. These hedges, which begin in July 2005 and continue to the end of 2011, will hedge less than 4% of Occidental’s current crude oil production. The following table provides information about these cash-flow hedges in a tabular presentation.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

 

Occidental's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer supervised and participated in Occidental's evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Occidental's periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, Occidental's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Occidental's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

 

There has been no change in Occidental’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Occidental’s internal control over financial reporting.

OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION

2001 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE-BASED STOCK AWARD

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR JANUARY 1, 2002 GRANT

(Effective June 20, 2005)

 

 

 

 

 

Date of Grant:

January 1, 2002

Target Performance Shares:

See “Shares Granted/Awarded”

(Grant Acknowledgment screen)

Performance period:

January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2005

 

These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions") made as of the Date of Grant, and amended effective June 20, 2005, between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Occidental") and, with its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), and Grantee.

 

1.          Grant of Target Performance Shares. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Common Shares and cash up to 200% of the number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, Target Performance Shares means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Common Shares awarded pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goals.

 

2.          Restrictions on Transfer. Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any right to receive Common 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, 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 approved or ratified by the Administrator).

 

3.          Performance Goals. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is a peer company comparison based on Total Stockholder Return, as set forth on Exhibit I. In addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., Conoco, Inc., Georgia Gulf Corporation, Kerr-McGee Corporation, Lyondell Petrochemical Company, Phillips Petroleum Corporation, and Unocal Corporation. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period or the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions to reflect a change in circumstances with respect to any peer company, then such company will be removed as 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 Target Performance Shares. (a) 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. However, if, prior to the end of the

 

ex101-20052q.htm

 

 

 

Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of the award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), 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 certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          Payment of Awards. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals or the Change in Control Event, as the case may be.

 

6.          Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents. With respect to the number of Target 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 Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Target Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Grantee's right to receive such portion becomes nonforfeitable, 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 as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.

 

7.          Adjustments. (a)     The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Plan

 

 

2

 

 

 

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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 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.

 

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Company must withhold any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or other securities or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to these Terms and Conditions (other than the Payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and, second by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Target Performance Shares (including those for which receipt of the payout is deferred under a company-sponsored deferral program for cash or stock) or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares, the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount 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 and state securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.

 

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.

 

12.        AMENDMENTS. 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

 

3

 

 

 

 

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

 

14.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of 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.

These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions") made as of the Date of Grant and amended effective June 20, 2005 between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Occidental") and, with its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), and Grantee.

 

1.          Grant of Target Performance Shares. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Common Shares and cash up to 200% of the number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, Target Performance Shares means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Common Shares awarded pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goals.

 

2.          Restrictions on Transfer. Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any right to receive Common 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, 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 approved or ratified by the Administrator).

 

3.          Performance Goals. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on (i) Return on Assets and (ii) a peer company comparison based on Total Stockholder Return, as set forth on Exhibit I.

 

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Return on Assets” means the percentage obtained by (A) multiplying the sum of the before tax earnings for each year in the Performance Period of the division of the Company employing the Grantee by 0.65 and (B) dividing the resulting product by the sum of such division’s Assets as of December 31st for each year in the Performance Period. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestitures and write-downs during the Performance Period. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, in addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., Conoco, Inc., Georgia Gulf Corporation, Kerr-McGee Corporation, Lyondell Petrochemical Company, Phillips Petroleum Corporation, and Unocal Corporation.

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 Target Performance Shares. (a) 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. However, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of the award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals. If the Committee certifies that Occidental ranks last among its peers in Total Stockholder Return, the Grantee will not be entitled to receive any Common Shares or cash.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), 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 certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          Payment of Awards. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals or the Change in Control Event, as the case may be.

Occidental will pay in cash to the Grantee an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents credited to such Grantee as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.             

 

7.          Adjustments. (a)      The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 of the Plan.

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Company must withhold any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or other securities or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to these Terms and Conditions (other than the Payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and second, by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value.

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.

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.

(Effective June 20, 2005)

 

 

DATE OF GRANT:

January 1, 2002

TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES:

See “Shares Granted/Awarded”

(Grant Acknowledgement screen)

PERFORMANCE PERIOD:

January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2005

 

 

These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions") made as of the Date of Grant and amended effective June 20, 2005 between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Occidental") and, with its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), and Grantee.

 

1.          Grant of Target Performance Shares. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Common Shares and cash up to 200% of the number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, Target Performance Shares means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Common Shares awarded pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goals.

 

2.          Restrictions on Transfer. Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any right to receive Common 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, 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 approved or ratified by the Administrator).

 

3.          Performance Goals. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on (i) Return on Assets and (ii) a peer company comparison based on Total Stockholder Return, as set forth on Exhibit I.

 

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Return on Assets” means the percentage obtained by (A) multiplying the sum of the before tax earnings for each year in the Performance Period of the division of the Company employing the Grantee by 0.65 and (B) dividing the resulting product by the sum of such division’s Assets as of December 31st for each year in the Performance Period. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestitures and write-downs during the Performance Period. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, in addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., Conoco, Inc., Georgia Gulf Corporation, Kerr-McGee Corporation, Lyondell Petrochemical Company, Phillips Petroleum Corporation, and Unocal Corporation. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period or the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions to reflect a change in circumstances with respect to any peer company, then such company will be removed as a peer company and the

 

2002 PSA-Amended-OOG OCC.htm

 

 

 

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 Target Performance Shares. (a) 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. However, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of the award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals. If the Committee certifies that Occidental ranks last among its peers in Total Stockholder Return, the Grantee will not be entitled to receive any Common Shares or cash.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), 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 certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          Payment of Awards. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals or the Change in Control Event, as the case may be.

 

2

 

 

 

 

6.          Crediting and Payment of Dividend Equivalents. With respect to the number of Target 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 Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Target Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Grantee's right to receive such portion becomes nonforfeitable, 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 as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.             

 

7.          Adjustments. (a)      The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 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.

 

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Company must withhold any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or other securities or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to these Terms and Conditions (other than the Payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and second, by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Target Performance Shares (including those for which receipt of the payout is deferred under a company-sponsored deferral program for cash or stock) or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares, the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount 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 and state securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.

 

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.

 

12.        AMENDMENTS. 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.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise noted.

 

15.        SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to Sections 2 and 4, the provisions of this Agreement 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.

3.          Performance Goals. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is a peer company comparison based on Total Stockholder Return, as set forth on Exhibit I.

These Terms and Conditions (these "Terms and Conditions") made as of the Date of Grant and amended effective June 20, 2005, between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Occidental") and, with its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), and Grantee.

 

1.          GRANT OF TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Common Shares and cash up to 200% of the number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, Target Performance Shares means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Common Shares awarded pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goals.

 

2.          RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Neither these Terms and Conditions nor any right to receive Common 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, 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 approved or ratified by the Administrator).

 

3.          PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on (i) Return on Assets and (ii) a peer company comparison based on Total Stockholder Return, as set forth on Exhibit 1.

 

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Return on Assets” means the percentage obtained by (A) multiplying the sum of the before tax earnings for each year in the Performance Period of the division of the Company employing the Grantee by 0.65 and (B) dividing the resulting product by the sum of such division’s Assets as of December 31 for each year in the Performance Period. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestitures and write-downs during the Performance Period. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, 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 last ten trading days of 2002 and the average of its last reported sale price per share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the last ten trading days of 2006. In addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Amerada Hess Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., ChevronTexaco Corp., ConocoPhillips Kerr-McGee

 

2003 PSA-Amended-OCC.htm

 

 

 

Corporation, and Unocal Corporation. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period or the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions to reflect a change in circumstances with respect to any peer company, then such company will be removed as 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 TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. (a) 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. However, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of the award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals. If the Committee certifies that Occidental ranks last among its peers in Total Stockholder Return, the Grantee will not be entitled to receive any Common Shares or cash.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), 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 certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the

Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals or the Change in Control Event, as the case may be.

 

6.          CREDITING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the number of Target 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 Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Target Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Grantee's right to receive such portion becomes nonforfeitable, 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 as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.             

 

7.          ADJUSTMENTS. (a) The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 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.

 

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. If the Company must withhold any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or other securities or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to these Terms and Conditions (other than the Payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation, first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and second, by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Target Performance Shares (including those for which receipt of the payout is deferred under a company-sponsored deferral program for cash or stock) or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares, the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount 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 and state securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common

Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.

 

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.

 

12.        AMENDMENTS. 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.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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.

DATE OF GRANT:

January 1, 2004

TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES:

See “Shares Granted/Awarded”

(Grant Acknowledgment screen)

PERFORMANCE PERIOD:

January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2007

 

 

These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant, and amended effective June 20, 2005, between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Occidental") and, with its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), and Grantee.

 

1.          GRANT OF TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Common Shares and cash up to 200% of the number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Target Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Common Shares awarded pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goals. Target Performance Shares are not Common 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 Common 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 permitted by 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 Administrator).

 

3.          PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is a peer company comparison based on Total Shareholder Return, 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 last ten trading days of 2003 and the average of its last reported sale price per share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the last ten trading days of 2007. In addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Amerada Hess Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., ChevronTexaco Corp., ConocoPhillips, Kerr-McGee Corporation, and Unocal Corporation. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period or the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions to reflect a change in circumstances with respect to any peer company, then such company will be removed as 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 TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. (a) 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

 

2004 PSA-Amended-OPC.htm

 

 

 

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. However, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of this award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), 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 certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals or the Change in Control Event, as the case may be.

 

6.          CREDITING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the number of Target 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 Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Target Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Grantee's right to receive such portion becomes nonforfeitable, 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 as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.

7.          ADJUSTMENTS. (a)      The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 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.

 

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign tax, including income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to the grant of Target Performance Shares (including the grant, the vesting, the receipt of Common Shares or cash, the sale of Common Shares and the receipt of dividends or dividend equivalents, if any). If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to the grant of Target Performance Shares (other than the payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and, second by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Target Performance Shares (including those for which receipt of the payout is deferred under a company-sponsored deferral program for cash or stock) or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares, the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount 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 foreign securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.

 

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 Target 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 Target Performance Shares does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Target Performance Shares, or benefits in lieu of Target

Performance Shares, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Target Performance Shares or other stock awards.

 

12.        AMENDMENTS. The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company 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.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of 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 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 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, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in Occidental, details of this Target Performance Share award or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, including complying with applicable tax and securities laws (“Data”).

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.

 

19.        GRANTEE’S REPRESENTATIONS AND RELEASES. By accepting this award, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has read these Terms and Conditions and understands that (i) the grant of this Target Performance Share 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 Target Performance Share award is granted; (ii) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (iii) the future value of any Common shares issued pursuant to this Target Performance Share award cannot be predicted and Occidental does not assume liability in the event such Common Shares have no value in the future; and, (iv) 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.

 

In consideration of the grant of this Target Performance Share award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Target Performance Share award or diminution in value of this Target Performance Share award or Common Shares issued pursuant to this Target Performance Share award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and 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.

January 1, 2004

TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES:

See “Shares Granted/Awarded”

(Grant Acknowledgment screen)

PERFORMANCE PERIOD:

These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant, and amended effective June 20, 2005, between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Occidental") and, with its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), and Grantee.

 

1.          GRANT OF TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Common Shares and cash up to 200% of the number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Target Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Common Shares awarded pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goals. Target Performance Shares are not Common 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 Common Shares or cash pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if permitted by 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 Administrator).

 

3.          PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on (i) Return on Assets and (ii) a peer company comparison based on Total Shareholder Return, as set forth on Exhibit 1.

 

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Return on Assets” means the percentage obtained by (A) multiplying the sum of the before tax earnings for each year in the Performance Period of the division of the Company employing the Grantee by 0.65 and (B) dividing the resulting product by the sum of such division’s Assets as of December 31 for each year in the Performance Period. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestitures and write-downs during the Performance Period. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, 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 last ten trading days of 2003 and the average of its last reported sale price per share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the last ten trading days of 2007. In addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Amerada Hess Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., ChevronTexaco Corp., ConocoPhillips, Kerr-McGee

Corporation, and Unocal Corporation. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period or the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions to reflect a change in circumstances with respect to any peer company, then such company will be removed as 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 TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. (a) 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. However, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of this award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), if prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee transfers his employment among the Company and its affiliates, the number of Common Shares attained by the Grantee shall be determined by assessing the level of achievement of the Performance Goals certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date.

6.          CREDITING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the number of Target 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 Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Target Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Grantee's right to receive such portion becomes nonforfeitable, 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 as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.             

 

7.          ADJUSTMENTS. (a) The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 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.

 

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign tax, including income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to the grant of Target Performance Shares (including the grant, the vesting, the receipt of Common Shares or cash, the sale of Common Shares and the receipt of dividends or dividend equivalents, if any). If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to the grant of Target Performance Shares (other than the payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and, second by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Target Performance Shares (including those for which receipt of the payout is deferred under a company-sponsored deferral program for cash or stock) or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount 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 foreign securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any

 

3

 

 

 

 

Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.

 

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 Target 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 Target Performance Shares does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Target Performance Shares, or benefits in lieu of Target Performance Shares, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Target Performance Shares or other stock awards.

 

12.        AMENDMENTS. The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company 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.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of 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 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 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

Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the Grantee’s country or elsewhere, and may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country.

18.        ELECTRONIC DELIVERY. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Target Performance Share 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.

 

19.        GRANTEE’S REPRESENTATIONS AND RELEASES. By accepting this award, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has read these Terms and Conditions and understands that (i) the grant of this Target Performance Share 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 Target Performance Share award is granted; (ii) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (iii) the future value of any Common shares issued pursuant to this Target Performance Share award cannot be predicted and Occidental does not assume liability in the event such Common Shares have no value in the future; and, (iv) 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.

 

In consideration of the grant of this Target Performance Share award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Target Performance Share award or diminution in value of this Target Performance Share award or Common Shares issued pursuant to this Target Performance Share award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and 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.

OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION

2001 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE-BASED STOCK AWARD

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR JANUARY 1, 2004 GRANT

(Effective June 20, 2005)

 

 

DATE OF GRANT:

January 1, 2004

TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES:

See “Shares Granted/Awarded”

(Grant Acknowledgment screen)

PERFORMANCE PERIOD:

January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2007

 

 

These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant, and amended effective June 20, 2005, between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Occidental") and, with its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), and Grantee.

 

1.          GRANT OF TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Common Shares and cash up to 200% of the number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Target Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Common Shares awarded pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goals. Target Performance Shares are not Common 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 Common Shares or cash pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if permitted by 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 Administrator).

 

3.          PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on (i) Return on Assets and (ii) a peer company comparison based on Total Shareholder Return, as set forth on Exhibit 1.

 

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Return on Assets” means the percentage obtained by (A) multiplying the sum of the before tax earnings for each year in the Performance Period of the division of the Company employing the Grantee by 0.65 and (B) dividing the resulting product by the sum of such division’s Assets as of December 31 for each year in the Performance Period. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestitures and write-downs during the Performance Period. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, 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 last ten trading days of 2003 and the average of its last reported sale price per share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the last ten trading days of 2007. In addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Amerada Hess Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum

 

2004 PSA-Amended-OOGC.htm

 

 

 

Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., ChevronTexaco Corp., ConocoPhillips, Kerr-McGee Corporation, and Unocal Corporation. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period or the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions to reflect a change in circumstances with respect to any peer company, then such company will be removed as 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 TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. (a) 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. However, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of this award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), 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 certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          PAYMENT OF AWARDS. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals or the Change in Control Event, as the case may be.

6.          CREDITING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the number of Target 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 Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Target Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Grantee's right to receive such portion becomes nonforfeitable, 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 as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.             

 

7.          ADJUSTMENTS. (a)      The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 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.

 

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign tax, including income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to the grant of Target Performance Shares (including the grant, the vesting, the receipt of Common Shares or cash, the sale of Common Shares and the receipt of dividends or dividend equivalents, if any). If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to the grant of Target Performance Shares (other than the payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and, second by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Target Performance Shares (including those for which receipt of the payout is deferred under a company-sponsored deferral program for cash or stock) or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares, the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount 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 foreign securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.

 

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 Target 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 Target Performance Shares does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Target Performance Shares, or benefits in lieu of Target Performance Shares, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Target Performance Shares or other stock awards.

 

12.        AMENDMENTS. The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company 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.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of 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.

17.        PRIVACY RIGHTS.

3.          PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is a peer company comparison based on Total Shareholder Return, 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 last ten trading days of 2004 and the average of its last reported sale price per share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the last ten trading days of 2008. In addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Amerada Hess Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., ChevronTexaco Corp., ConocoPhillips, Kerr-McGee Corporation, and Unocal Corporation. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period or the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions to reflect a change in circumstances with respect to any peer company, then such company will be removed as 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 TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. (a) 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. However, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of this award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), 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 certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          PAYMENT OF AWARDS; ELECTIVE DEFERRAL. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals or the Change in Control Event, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may elect pursuant to the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Deferred Stock Program and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan to defer receipt of any Common Shares and cash to which Grantee may be entitled following certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

6.          CREDITING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the number of Target 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

 

2

 

 

 

cash dividends declared by the Board on the outstanding Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Target Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Grantee's right to receive such portion becomes nonforfeitable, 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 as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.         

 

7.          ADJUSTMENTS. (a)      The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 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.

 

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign tax, including income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to the grant of Target Performance Shares (including the grant, the vesting, the receipt of Common Shares or cash, the sale of Common Shares and the receipt of dividends or dividend equivalents, if any). If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to the grant of Target Performance Shares (other than the payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and, second by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Target Performance Shares (including those for which receipt of the payout is deferred under a company-sponsored deferral program for cash or stock) or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares, the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount 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 foreign securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.

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 Target 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 Target Performance Shares does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Target Performance Shares, or benefits in lieu of Target Performance Shares, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Target Performance Shares or other stock awards.

 

12.        AMENDMENTS. The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company 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.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of 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 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 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, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in Occidental, details of this Target Performance Share award or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in

18.        ELECTRONIC DELIVERY. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Target Performance Share 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.

 

19.        GRANTEE’S REPRESENTATIONS AND RELEASES. By accepting this award, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has read these Terms and Conditions and understands that (i) the grant of this Target Performance Share 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 Target Performance Share award is granted; (ii) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (iii) the future value of any Common shares issued pursuant to this Target Performance Share award cannot be predicted and Occidental does not assume liability in the event such Common Shares have no value in the future; and, (iv) 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.

 

In consideration of the grant of this Target Performance Share award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Target Performance Share award or diminution in value of this Target Performance Share award or Common Shares issued pursuant to this Target Performance Share award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and 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.

OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION

2001 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE-BASED STOCK AWARD

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR JANUARY 1, 2005

(Effective June 20, 2005)

 

 

DATE OF GRANT:

January 1, 2005

TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES:

See “Shares Granted/Awarded”

(Grant Acknowledgment screen)

PERFORMANCE PERIOD:

January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2008

 

These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant, and amended effective June 20, 2005, between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Occidental") and, with its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), and Grantee.

 

1.          GRANT OF TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Common Shares and cash up to 200% of the number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Target Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Common Shares awarded pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goals. Target Performance Shares are not Common 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 Common Shares or cash pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if permitted by 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 Administrator).

 

3.          PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on (i) Return on Assets and (ii) a peer company comparison based on Total Shareholder Return, as set forth on Exhibit 1.

 

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Return on Assets” means the percentage obtained by (A) multiplying the sum of the before tax earnings for each year in the Performance Period of the division of the Company employing the Grantee by 0.65 and (B) dividing the resulting product by the sum of such division’s Assets as of December 31 for each year in the Performance Period. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestitures and write-downs during the Performance Period. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, 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 last ten trading days of 2004 and the average of its last reported sale price per share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the last ten trading days of 2008. In addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Amerada Hess Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., ChevronTexaco Corp., ConocoPhillips, Kerr-McGee

 

2005 PSA-Amended- OCC.htm

 

 

 

Corporation, and Unocal Corporation. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period or the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions to reflect a change in circumstances with respect to any peer company, then such company will be removed as 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 TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. (a) 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. However, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of this award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), 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 certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          PAYMENT OF AWARDS; ELECTIVE DEFERRAL. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals or the Change in Control Event, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may elect pursuant to the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005

 

2

 

 

 

 

Deferred Stock Program and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan to defer receipt of any Common Shares and cash to which Grantee may be entitled following certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

6.          CREDITING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the number of Target 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 Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Target Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Grantee's right to receive such portion becomes nonforfeitable, 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 as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.             

 

7.          ADJUSTMENTS. (a) The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 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.

 

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign tax, including income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to the grant of Target Performance Shares (including the grant, the vesting, the receipt of Common Shares or cash, the sale of Common Shares and the receipt of dividends or dividend equivalents, if any). If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to the grant of Target Performance Shares (other than the payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and, second by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Target Performance Shares (including those for which receipt of the payout is deferred under a company-sponsored deferral program for cash or stock) or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the

 

3

 

 

 

 

Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount 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 foreign securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.

 

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 Target 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 Target Performance Shares does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Target Performance Shares, or benefits in lieu of Target Performance Shares, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Target Performance Shares or other stock awards.

 

12.        AMENDMENTS. The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company 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.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise noted.

In consideration of the grant of this Target Performance Share award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Target Performance Share award or diminution in value of this Target Performance Share award or Common Shares issued pursuant to this Target Performance Share award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and 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.

OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION

2001 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE-BASED STOCK AWARD

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR JANUARY 1, 2005 GRANT

(Effective June 20, 2005)

 

 

DATE OF GRANT:

January 1, 2005

TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES:

See “Shares Granted/Awarded”

(Grant Acknowledgment screen)

PERFORMANCE PERIOD:

January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2008

 

 

These Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) are set forth as of the Date of Grant, and amended effective June 20, 2005, between OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Occidental") and, with its subsidiaries, (the "Company"), and Grantee.

 

1.          GRANT OF TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right to receive in Common Shares and cash up to 200% of the number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Target Performance Shares” means a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Common Shares awarded pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the achievement of the Performance Goals. Target Performance Shares are not Common 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 Common Shares or cash pursuant to these Terms and Conditions may be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if permitted by 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 Administrator).

 

3.          PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is based on (i) Return on Assets and (ii) a peer company comparison based on Total Shareholder Return, as set forth on Exhibit 1.

 

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Return on Assets” means the percentage obtained by (A) multiplying the sum of the before tax earnings for each year in the Performance Period of the division of the Company employing the Grantee by 0.65 and (B) dividing the resulting product by the sum of such division’s Assets as of December 31 for each year in the Performance Period. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Assets” will reflect all acquisitions, divestitures and write-downs during the Performance Period. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, 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 last ten trading days of 2004 and the average of its last reported sale price per share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange - Composite Transactions for the last ten trading days of 2008. In addition to the Company, the peer companies are: Amerada Hess Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Burlington Resources Inc., ChevronTexaco Corp., ConocoPhillips, Kerr-McGee

 

2005- PSA-Amended-OOGC.htm

 

 

 

Corporation, and Unocal Corporation. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at any time during the Performance Period or the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 7 of these Terms and Conditions to reflect a change in circumstances with respect to any peer company, then such company will be removed as 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 TARGET PERFORMANCE SHARES. (a) 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. However, if, prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or 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 Target 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.

 

(b)       The Grantee's right to receive payment of this award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be based and become nonforfeitable upon, the Administrator’s certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

(c)       For the purposes of Section 4(b), 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 certified by the Administrator for each employing entity and multiplying the number of Target Performance Shares attainable at such level by a fraction equal to the number of months in the Performance Period that the Grantee worked for the entity divided by the total number of months in the Performance Period.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 4(b), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive Common Shares equal to the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will become nonforfeitable. The right to receive cash in excess of the number of Target Performance Shares (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) will be forfeited.

 

5.          PAYMENT OF AWARDS; ELECTIVE DEFERRAL. Up to and including 100% of the Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of these Terms and Conditions will be settled in Common Shares and the amount, if any, above 100% of the Target Performance Shares as so adjusted will be settled in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Administrator’s certification (the “Certification Date Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goals and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions or any prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly as practicable after the Administrator's certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals or the Change in Control Event, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may elect pursuant to the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005

 

2

 

 

 

Deferred Stock Program and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan to defer receipt of any Common Shares and cash to which Grantee may be entitled following certification of the attainment of the Performance Goals.

 

6.          CREDITING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the number of Target 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 Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the Target Performance Shares covered by these Terms and Conditions on the date on which the Grantee's right to receive such portion becomes nonforfeitable, 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 as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.             

 

7.          ADJUSTMENTS. (a)      The number or kind of shares of stock covered by these Terms and Conditions may be adjusted as the Administrator determines pursuant to Section 6.2 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 4.2.3 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.

 

9.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign tax, including income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to the grant of Target Performance Shares (including the grant, the vesting, the receipt of Common Shares or cash, the sale of Common Shares and the receipt of dividends or dividend equivalents, if any). If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with the issuance of any Common Shares or the payment of cash or any other consideration pursuant to the grant of Target Performance Shares (other than the payment of Dividend Equivalents), the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation first from any cash amount payable under these Terms and Conditions and, second by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Certification Date Value. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Target Performance Shares (including those for which receipt of the payout is deferred under a company-sponsored deferral program for cash or stock) or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares, the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the

 

3

 

 

 

Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount 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 foreign securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law.

 

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 Target 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 Target Performance Shares does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Target Performance Shares, or benefits in lieu of Target Performance Shares, even if Grantee has a history of receiving Target Performance Shares or other stock awards.

 

12.        AMENDMENTS. The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company 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.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of 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 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 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, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in Occidental, details of this Target Performance Share award or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Grantee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, including complying with applicable tax and securities laws (“Data”). Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the Grantee’s country or elsewhere, and may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Grantee’s country. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, the Grantee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes described above. The Grantee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the Administrator in writing. Refusing or withdrawing consent may affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan.

 

18.        ELECTRONIC DELIVERY. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to this Target Performance Share 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.

 

19.        GRANTEE’S REPRESENTATIONS AND RELEASES. By accepting this award, the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has read these Terms and Conditions and understands that (i) the grant of this Target Performance Share 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 Target Performance Share award is granted; (ii) the Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (iii) the future value of any Common shares issued pursuant to this Target Performance Share award cannot be predicted and Occidental does not assume liability in the event such Common Shares have no value in the future; and, (iv) 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.

 

In consideration of the grant of this Target Performance Share award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Target Performance Share award or diminution in value of this Target Performance Share award or Common Shares issued pursuant to this Target Performance Share award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and 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.

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 grant (the “Grantee”).

 

1.          STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) are the right to receive in shares of Occidental Common Stock the excess, if any, of the fair market value at the date and time of exercise of the number of shares of Occidental Common Stock equal to the number of SARs being exercised over the Fair Market Value of such number of shares of Occidental Common Stock on the Date of Grant (the “Grant Price”).

 

2.          GRANT OF SARS. As of the Date of Grant, Occidental grants to the Grantee the Number of SARs indicated on the Grant acknowledgement Screen at the Grant Price. All SARs may be exercised in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). This Grant shall not be an option to purchase Occidental Common Stock and shall confer no stockholder rights upon the Grantee.

 

3.          TERM OF SARS. The term of these SARs begins on the Date of Grant and expires on the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Expiration Date”) unless they are terminated earlier as provided in Section 7.

 

4.          RIGHT TO EXERCISE. Unless these SARs have expired, terminated, or accelerated, on each anniversary of the Date of Grant, the amount of SARs indicated above in the Vesting Schedule for such anniversary will become exercisable on a cumulative basis until all of the SARs are fully exercisable. The projected Vesting Schedule with the number of SARs vesting on each anniversary is shown on the Grant Detail screen (from Grant Summary page, click “View Detail & History”). SARs may be exercised, in whole or in part, only for the amount of SARs that are vested on the date of exercise. The last date to exercise these SARs is the New York Stock Exchange trading day prior to the earlier of the date these SARs terminate and the Expiration Date.

5.          SARS NONTRANSFERABLE. These Terms and Conditions, the SARs and the right to receive Common Shares upon exercise of the SARs may not be transferred nor assigned by the Grantee other than to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company or will, or if the Grantee dies without designating a beneficiary and without a valid will, by the laws of descent and distribution. During the Grantee’s lifetime, only the Grantee, or in the event of his or her legal incapacity, a properly appointed guardian or legal representative may exercise these SARs.

 

6.

NOTICE OF EXERCISE.

 

(a)       To exercise these SARs, the Grantee must give oral or written notice to Occidental or any agent designated by Occidental to administer grants made under the Plan. If Occidental has designated an agent, notice must be given to the agent to be effective and, except for limit orders (if permitted), must be received on a New York Stock Exchange trading day during the trading day (9:30 AM - 4 PM Eastern Time). The notice of exercise must state the amount of SARs the Grantee wishes to exercise. The date the notice is received is the exercise date unless limit orders are permitted by the Administrator or any agent designated by Occidental and the notice contains a limit order in accordance with the procedures established by the Administrator or the agent, in which case the exercise date is the trading date on the New York Stock Exchange during the limit order period on which the price of the Common Stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange reaches the price specified in the notice. The fair market value used to determine the proceeds will be the value indicated as such by the Administrator or the agent on the exercise date. If requested, any oral notice of exercise shall be confirmed in writing the same day before the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

(b)       CALCULATION OF SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE. At exercise, Grantee will be issued the number of whole shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (X) the product of (i) the number of SARS exercised times (ii) the difference between the Grant Price and the Exercise Value by (Y) the Exercise Value. If the calculation results in a fractional share, the Grantee will receive cash for the fractional share (but not for any whole shares) equal to the product of the fraction times the Exercise Value. For the purpose of the foregoing calculations, the Exercise Value equals the fair market value of one share of Occidental Common Stock at the date and time of exercise (unless otherwise required by the administrator).

 

(c)       FEES, TAXES. The Grantee will be obligated to pay transaction fees imposed by Occidental’s agent, if one is designated, and any applicable taxes on the Grantee’s profits.

 

7.          TERMINATION OF RIGHT TO EXERCISE. The right to exercise these SARs terminates automatically and without further notice on the date the Grantee ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason whatsoever, except as follows:

 

(a)        If the Grantee dies, the SARs will vest immediately as of the date of the Grantee’s death for the full Number of SARs. All SARs may be exercised up to the Expiration Date by a transferee acceptable under Section 5.

 

(b)        If the Grantee becomes permanently and totally disabled, the SARs will continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, and they may be exercised up to the Expiration Date. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, to be “permanently and totally disabled” means to be unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of an

 

2

2005 SAR1.htm

 

 

 

 

impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of at least twelve (12) months.

 

(c)        If the Grantee retires, the SARs will continue to vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, and they may be exercised up to the Expiration Date. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “retire” means to retire with the consent of the Company.

 

(d)        If the Grantee terminates employment with the Company for any reason other than death, permanent and total disability, retirement or cause (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the SARs will cease to vest as of the close of business on the last day of the Grantee’s active employment. Any vested SARs may be exercised up to the sooner of (i) three (3) months following the last day of the Grantee’s active employment and (ii) the Expiration Date. Only the amount of SARs exercisable as of the Grantee’s last day of employment pursuant to the Vesting Schedule may be exercised. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “cause” means the Grantee’s (W) failure to satisfactorily perform the duties of his or her job or negligence in carrying out the Company’s legal obligations, (X) refusal to carry out any lawful order of the Company, (Y) breach of any legal duty to the Company, or (Z) conduct constituting moral turpitude or conviction of a crime which may diminish the Grantee’s ability to effectively act on the Company’s behalf or with or on behalf of others.

 

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the continuous employment of the Grantee with the Company will not be interrupted, and the Grantee will not be deemed to cease to be an employee of the Company, by reason of the transfer of his or her employment among the Company and its affiliates or an approved leave of absence.

 

8.          ACCELERATION OF SARS. If a Change in Control Event as defined in the Plan occurs, all SARs shall become immediately exercisable unless, prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control Event, the Administrator, as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan, determines that such Event will not accelerate these SARs or that acceleration will occur for only part of the SARs granted or at a different time. Any such determination by the Administrator is binding on the Grantee.

 

9.          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.

 

10.        TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign tax, including income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to the grant of SARs (including the grant, vesting and exercise of SARS and the receipt of Common Shares and sale of Common Shares). The Company does not guarantee any particular tax treatment or results in connection with the grant, vesting or exercise of SARs. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with the exercise of these SARs, the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date.

 

 

3

2005 SAR1.htm

 

 

 

 

 

11.        COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws; however, these SARs are not exercisable if their exercise would result in a violation of any such law by the Company.

 

12.        RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. The benefits received by the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions will not be taken into account or treated as normal salary or compensation in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit sharing, retirement, bonus, long service 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, or as part of the calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy or end of service payments. The grant of these SARs does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of SARs, or benefits in lieu of SARs, even if the Grantee has a history of receiving SARs or other stock awards.

 

13.        ADJUSTMENTS. The Grant Price, the number of SARs and the number of Shares of Common Stock or type of security covered by this Grant may be adjusted as the Administrator 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 change in the capital structure of Occidental, or any merger, consolidation, spin-off, liquidation or other corporate transaction or event having a similar effect. If any such adjustment occurs, the Company will give the Grantee written notice of the adjustment containing an explanation of the nature of the adjustment.

 

14.        AMENDMENTS. The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company 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, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions without the Grantee’s consent.

 

15.        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.

 

16.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise noted.

 

17.        ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES. The Administrator, directly or through its agent, reserves the right to adopt procedures with respect to the exercise of these SARs. In the event of any inconsistent provisions between such procedures, these Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the provisions of the Plan control.

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 SHARE UNITS. In accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant the right to receive on each anniversary date Common Shares equal to the number of Restricted Share Units (as defined below) that vest on such date according to the schedule set forth above. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Restricted Share Unit” means a bookkeeping entry equivalent to a whole or fractional Common Share. Restricted Share Units are not shares and have no voting rights or, except as stated in Section 4, dividend rights.

 

2.          RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. These Terms and Conditions, the Restricted Share Units and the right to receive Common Shares may not be transferred or assigned by the Grantee other than (i) to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by the Company (if permitted by local law) or by will or, if the Grantee dies without designating a beneficiary or 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 Administrator).

 

3.          VESTING AND FORFEITURE OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS. (a) Subject to Sections 3(b) and (c), on each anniversary of the Date of Grant the amount of Restricted Share Units indicated above in the Vesting Schedule for such anniversary will vest and become nonforfeitable if the Grantee remains in the continuous employ of the Company through such date. The projected Vesting Schedule with the number of Restricted Share Units vesting on each anniversary is shown on the Grant Detail screen (from Grant Summary page, click “View Detail & History”). 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.

 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a), if the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled while in the employ of the Company, retires with the consent of the Company, or terminates employment for the convenience of the Company (each of the foregoing, a “Vesting Event”),

 

2005 RSU-Final.htm

 

 

 

then Restricted Share Units that have not vested prior to the date of the Vesting Event will become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of such date.

 

(c)       Notwithstanding Section 3(a), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Vesting Schedule, all of the Restricted Share Units that have not yet vested shall immediately become fully vested and nonforfeitable unless, prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control Event, the Administrator, as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan, determines that such Event will not accelerate these Restricted Share Units or that acceleration will occur for only part of the Restricted Share Units granted or at a different time. Any such determination by the Administrator is binding on the Grantee.

 

4.          CREDITING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the Restricted Share Units granted to the Grantee, 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 Common Shares until the shares vest, or, if earlier, up to the date on which the Grantee forfeits all or any portion of the Restricted Share Units. Until the Restricted Share Units have vested, Occidental will pay in cash to the Grantee an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents credited to such Grantee as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent.

 

5.          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.

 

6.          TAXES AND WITHHOLDING. The Grantee is responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign tax, including income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding with respect to the grant of Restricted Share Units (including the grant, the vesting, the receipt of Common Shares, the sale of Common Shares and the receipt of dividends or Dividend Equivalents, if any). The Company does not guarantee any particular tax treatment or results in connection with the grant or vesting of the Restricted Share Units or the payment of Dividend Equivalents. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting of Restricted Stock Units or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Restricted Share Units, the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the Grantee’s wages, other cash compensation (including regular pay) or Dividend Equivalents. The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with the vesting of Restricted Share Units, the Grantee shall satisfy all or any part of any such withholding obligation by surrendering to the Company a portion of the Common Shares that are issued to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. Any Common Shares so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against the Grantee’s withholding obligation at their Fair Market Value on the vesting date.

 

7.         COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law by the Company.

8.          RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS. The benefits received by the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions will not be taken into account or treated as normal salary or compensation in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit sharing, retirement, bonus, long service 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, or as part of the calculation of any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy or end of service payments. This grant of Restricted Share Units does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Share Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Share Units, even if the Grantee has a history of receiving Restricted Share Units or other stock awards.

 

9.          ADJUSTMENTS. The number or kind of shares of stock covered by this Restricted Share Unit Award may be adjusted as the Administrator 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 change in the capital structure of Occidental, or any merger, consolidation, spin-off, liquidation or other corporate transaction or event having a similar effect. If any such adjustment occurs, the Company will give the Grantee written notice of the adjustment containing an explanation of the nature of the adjustment.

 

10.        AMENDMENTS. The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company 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, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, no amendment will adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions without the Grantee's consent.

 

11.        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.

 

12.        RELATION TO PLAN; INTERPRETATION. 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 are to Sections of these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise noted.

 

13.        SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to Sections 2 and 3, 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.

 

14.        GOVERNING LAW. The laws of the State of Delaware govern the interpretation, performance, and enforcement of these Terms and Conditions.

 

15.        NOTICES. Any notice to the Company provided for in these Terms and Conditions will be given to its Secretary at 10889 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90024, and any

reason of the transfer of the Grantee’s employment among the Company and its affiliates or an approved leave of absence.

 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a), if the Grantee dies or becomes permanently disabled (as defined in the Deferral Program) while in the employ of the Company, retires with the consent of the Company, or terminates employment for the convenience of the Company (each of the foregoing, a “Vesting Event”), then Restricted Share Units that have not vested prior to the date of the Vesting Event will become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of such date.

 

(c)       Notwithstanding Section 3(a), if a Change in Control Event occurs prior to the end of the Vesting Schedule, all of the Restricted Share Units that have not yet vested shall immediately become fully vested and nonforfeitable unless, prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control Event, the Administrator, as provided in Section 7.1 of the Plan, determines that such Event will not accelerate these Restricted Share Units or that acceleration will occur for only part of the Restricted Share Units granted or at a different time. Any such determination by the Administrator is binding on the Grantee.

 

4.          DEFERRAL OF COMMON SHARE PAYOUT. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, the Grantee has agreed that the receipt of the Common Shares will be deferred in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deferral Program. The administration of the Deferral Program is governed by the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee, whose decision on all matters shall be final. The deferral of receipt of any Common Shares upon the vesting of the Restricted Share Units is irrevocable and cannot be changed or canceled. As a result of the deferral, no Common Shares will be issued pursuant to these Terms and Conditions upon the vesting of the Restricted Share Units, and the Restricted Share Units will continue to be recorded as a bookkeeping entry.

 

5.          CREDITING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the Restricted Share Units granted to the Grantee, 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 Common Shares until the shares vest, or, if earlier, up to the date on which the Grantee forfeits all or any portion of the Restricted Share Units. Until the Restricted Share Units have vested, Occidental will pay in cash to the Grantee an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents credited to such Grantee as promptly as may be practicable after the Grantee has been credited with a Dividend Equivalent. Once the Restricted Share Units have vested, Dividend Equivalents will be credited and paid pursuant to the Deferral Program.

 

6.          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.

The Company does not guarantee any particular tax treatment or results in connection with the grant or vesting of the Restricted Share Units or the payment of Dividend Equivalents. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with the

 

2

 

 

 

 

issuance of any Common Shares or other securities or the payment of any other consideration pursuant to the grant of Restricted Share Units (other than the payment of Dividend Equivalents), this obligation shall be satisfied in accordance with the provisions of the Deferral Program. If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with granting or vesting of Restricted Share Units or the payment of Dividend Equivalents pursuant to this grant of Restricted Share Units, the Grantee by acknowledging these Terms and Conditions agrees that, so long as the Grantee is an employee of the Company for tax purposes, all or any part of any such withholding obligation shall be deducted from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including regular pay) or Dividend Equivalents. The Grantee shall pay to the Company any amount that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

 

8.         COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. The Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws; however, the Company will not issue any Common Shares or other securities pursuant to these Terms and Conditions if their issuance would result in a violation of any such law by the Company.

 

9.          RELATION TO OTHER BENEFITS.

This grant of Restricted Share Units does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Restricted Share Units, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Share Units, even if the Grantee has a history of receiving Restricted Share Units or other stock awards.

 

10.        ADJUSTMENTS. The number or kind of shares of stock covered by this Restricted Share Unit Award may be adjusted as the Administrator 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 change in the capital structure of Occidental, or any merger, consolidation, spin-off, liquidation or other corporate transaction or event having a similar effect. If any such adjustment occurs, the Company will give the Grantee written notice of the adjustment containing an explanation of the nature of the adjustment.

 

11.        AMENDMENTS. The Plan may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, as provided in the Plan. Any amendment to the Plan or the Deferral Program will be deemed to be an amendment to these Terms and Conditions to the extent it is applicable to these Terms and Conditions or the deferrals made pursuant to these Terms and Conditions; however, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, 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.

In consideration of the grant of this Restricted Share Unit award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Restricted Share Unit award or diminution in value of this Restricted Share Unit award or Common Shares issued pursuant to this Restricted Share Unit award resulting from termination of the Grantee’s employment by the Company or the Grantee’s employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Grantee irrevocably releases the Company and, if not Occidental, the Grantee’s employer, 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.
