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.          G RANT OF T ARGET P ERFORMANCE S HARES . 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 one-half in Common Shares and one-half in cash up to 150% 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 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.          R ESTRICTIONS ON T RANSFER . Neither this Agreement nor any right to receive Common 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 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.          P ERFORMANCE G OALS . 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 preceding July 18, 2007 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 17, 2011. 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 Administrator 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.          V ESTING AND F ORFEITURE OF T ARGET P ERFORMANCE S HARES . (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 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 Common Shares or cash hereunder.

(b) The Grantee’s right to receive payment of this award in an amount not to exceed 150% 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) 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 payment at the Target Performance Share level (as adjusted for any Forfeiture Event pursuant to Section 4(a)) 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(a)) will be forfeited.

5.          P AYMENT OF A WARDS . The Target Performance Shares as adjusted pursuant to Sections 4 and 7 of this Agreement will be settled 50% in Common Shares and 50% 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 multiplied by 50% of the Target Performance Shares earned at the Performance Goal level attained and will be paid as promptly as possible after such date. The Common Shares covered by this Agreement 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. Each of the cash payment and the Common Shares shall in any event be made no later than the 15th 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.          C REDITING AND P AYMENT OF D IVIDEND E QUIVALENTS . 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 as and when declared 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.          A DJUSTMENTS . (a) The number or kind of shares of stock covered by this Agreement shall 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 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 Administrator may adjust the Performance Goal or other features of this Grant as permitted by Section 5.2.3 of the Plan.
