THIS AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”) is
made as of the Date of Grant 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 this Agreement and the
Occidental Petroleum Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as
the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”),
Occidental grants to the Grantee as of the Date of Grant, the right
to receive 60% in Shares and 40% in cash up to 200% of the
number/value of Target Performance Shares. For the purposes of this
Agreement, “Target Performance Shares” means a
bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of Shares awarded
pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Plan that is payable upon the
achievement of the Performance Goal. Target Performance Shares are
not Shares and have no voting rights or, except as stated in
Section 6, dividend rights.
2. RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any right to receive
Shares or cash pursuant to this Agreement may be transferred or
assigned by the Grantee other than (i) to a beneficiary designated
on a form approved by the Company (if enforceable under local law),
by will or, if the Grantee dies without designating a beneficiary
of a valid will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii)
pursuant to a domestic relations order, if applicable, (if approved
or ratified by the Committee).
(b) Further, 50% of net after-tax
Shares received under this Agreement to any individual who was a
Named Executive Officer during the last completed fiscal year prior
to vesting may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged,
assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee
other than (i) to a beneficiary designated on a form approved by
the Company (if enforceable under local law), by will or, if the
Grantee dies without designating a beneficiary of a valid will, by
the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) pursuant to a domestic
relations order, if applicable (if approved or ratified by the
Committee), or (iii) until the third anniversary date of the
vesting of the Shares under this Award. Any purported transfer,
encumbrance or other disposition of the Shares that is in violation
of this Section 2 shall be null and void, and the other party to
any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or
interest in the Shares. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Named Executive Officer” has the meaning ascribed
thereto pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
3. PERFORMANCE
GOAL. The Performance Goal for the Performance Period is a peer
company comparison based on Total Shareholder Return (defined as
Total Stockholder Return in the Plan), 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
1 of 12
the New York Stock Exchange -
Composite Transactions for the last ten trading days preceding July
15, 2009 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 preceding July 14, 2013.
The peer companies are: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Apache
Corporation, BP p.l.c., Chevron Corporation, ConocoPhillips, Devon
Energy Corporation, ExxonMobil Corporation and Royal Dutch Shell
plc. If a peer company ceases to be a publicly-traded company at
any time during the Performance Period or the Committee determines
pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement 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) If the Grantee
fails to accept this award prior to the next record date for the
payment of dividends on Shares subsequent to the Date of Grant,
then, notwithstanding any other provision of this award, the
Grantee shall forfeit all rights under this award and this award
will become null and void. For purposes of this section, acceptance
of the award shall occur on the date the Company receives an
original of this Agreement signed by the Grantee.
(b) 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 and terminates as a result thereof,
retires with the consent of the Company, or terminates employment
for the convenience of the Company (each of the foregoing, a
“Forfeiture Event”), then the number of 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. If the Grantee terminates employment voluntarily or is
terminated for cause before the end of the Performance Period, then
this Agreement will terminate automatically on the date of
Grantee’s termination and Grantee shall forfeit the right to
receive any Shares or cash hereunder.
(c) The Grantee's right to receive
payment of this award in an amount not to exceed 200% of the Target
Performance Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, will be
based on, and become nonforfeitable upon the Committee’s
certification of, the attainment of the Performance
Goal.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 4(c), if
a Change in Control event occurs prior to the end of the
Performance Period, the Grantee's right to receive payment at the
Target Performance Share level (as adjusted for any Forfeiture
Event pursuant to Section 4(b)) will become nonforfeitable. The
right to receive Shares and cash in excess of the Target
Performance Share level (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event
pursuant to Section 4(b)) will be forfeited.
(e) Notwithstanding Section 4(c), if
Occidental’s Total Shareholder Return does not exceed the
Total Shareholder Return of the Standard & Poor’s 500
Stock Index (S&P 500 Index) for the same period, the
Grantee’s right to receive Shares and cash in excess of the
Target Performance Share level will be forfeited. This comparison
shall be calculated using Occidental’s Total Shareholder
Return as defined under Section 3, and by using the average
of
2 of 12
the closing S&P 500 Index value
for the last ten trading days preceding July 15, 2009 and the
average of the closing S&P 500 Index value for the last ten
trading days preceding July 14, 2013 to calculate the Total
Shareholder Return for the S&P 500 Index.
5. PAYMENT OF
AWARDS. The Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to
Sections 4 and 7 of this Agreement will be settled 60% in Shares
and 40% in cash. The cash payment will equal the closing price of
the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the
Committee’s certification (the “Certification Date
Value”) of the attainment of the Performance Goal multiplied
by 40% of the Target Performance Shares earned at the Performance
Goal level attained and will be paid as promptly as practicable
after such date. The Shares covered by this Agreement or any
prorated portion thereof shall be issued to the Grantee as promptly
as practicable after the Committee's certification of the
attainment of the Performance Goal or the Change in Control event,
as the case may be. Each of the cash payment and the Shares shall
in any event be made no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the
first taxable year in which the award is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture.
6. CREDITING AND
PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. With respect to the number of
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 Shares
as and when declared with a record date during the period beginning
on the Date of Grant and ending with respect to any portion of the
Target Performance Shares covered by this Agreement 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 of Target Performance Shares or kind of shares of
stock covered by this Agreement shall be adjusted as the Committee
determines pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Plan in order to prevent
dilution or expansion of the Grantee's rights under this Agreement
as a result of events such as stock dividends, stock splits or
other changes in the capital structure of Occidental, or any
merger, consolidation, spin-off, liquidation or other corporate
transaction having a similar effect. If any such adjustment occurs,
the Company will give the Grantee written notice of the
adjustment.
(b) In addition, the Committee may
adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as
permitted by Section 5.2.3 of the Plan.
8. NO EMPLOYMENT
CONTRACT. Nothing in this Agreement confers upon the Grantee
any right with respect to continued employment by the Company, nor
limits in any manner the right of the Company to terminate the
employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee. Unless
otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the Grantee and an
authorized representative of the Company, the Grantee’s
employment with the Company is at will and may be terminated at any
time by the Grantee or the Company.
9. TAXES AND
WITHHOLDING. Regardless of any action the Company takes with
respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and
local tax and non-U.S. tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment
on account or other tax-related items related to the
Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to
the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the
Grantee
3 of 12
acknowledges that the ultimate
liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the
Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually
withheld by the Company. The Grantee further acknowledges that the
Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of
this Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award, including the grant
or vesting of the Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award and the
receipt of Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) does not commit to and is
under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any
aspect of the Total Shareholder Return Incentive Award to reduce or
eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or
achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee has
become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the
Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the
Grantee acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold
or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one
jurisdiction.
Prior to the relevant taxable event,
the Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to
the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the
Grantee authorizes the Company to withhold all applicable
Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Grantee (A) in connection
with the issuance of any Shares or the payment of cash or any other
consideration pursuant to this Total Shareholder Return Incentive
Award (other than the payment of Dividend Equivalents), 40% from
any cash amount payable under this Agreement and, 60% from the
Shares that are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to
this Agreement, unless the Grantee otherwise instructs the Company
in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the
Performance Period, or (B) in connection with the granting of
Target Performance Shares or the payment of Dividend Equivalents
pursuant to this grant of Target Performance Shares, from the
Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation (including
Dividend Equivalents). The Grantee shall pay to the Company any
amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to
withhold as a result of the Grantee’s receipt of this Total
Shareholder Retur
