OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION 
EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN (EICP)  
(As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2015)
PURPOSE
The Occidental Petroleum Corporation Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to provide selected employees with annual cash incentive opportunities.  Awards are based on the achievement of objectives that reflect business success and generate stockholder value.  The Plan directly links Participants’ incentive compensation with the performance of the Company as a whole or the Division where they have personal accountability, as applicable, and also promotes the Company’s results-oriented management style. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth on Attachment A hereto.
ELIGIBILITY/PARTICIPATION
All Senior Management employees are eligible for participation in the Plan.  Participants are selected by the Company’s senior management; provided, that, to the extent required with respect to Awards intended to be Section 162(m) Awards, Participants will be selected by the Committee.
PERFORMANCE PERIOD
The performance period shall be the period for which the performance objectives applicable to an Award are measured, which unless otherwise determined for an Award, shall be the one-year period beginning on January 1 of a given year and ending on December 31 of that same year (the “Performance Period”).
PERFORMANCE MEASURES/OBJECTIVES
Unless otherwise determined for any Award, each Award will consist of a performance-based portion and a bonus portion (or discretionary portion). The weighting of the performance-based portion and the bonus portion of each Award will be established at the time the Award is granted to reflect the significance of business and individual performance with respect to each such Award (e.g., for a particular Award, the performance-based portion may be weighted 60% and the bonus portion may be weighted 40%).
The extent to which the performance-based portion of each Award is earned and payable shall be determined by assessing performance for the applicable Performance Period with respect to certain Business Objectives. For each Award, during the first 90 days of each year, the Business Objectives to be used for the Performance Period, as well as the weighting, if applicable, of each Business Objective (e.g,. 50% Segment Earnings and 50% Cash Flow) shall be established.  The Business Objectives selected, and their weightings, if applicable, may vary by Participant and may be changed from one 









Performance Period to the next Performance Period in response to changes in business priorities. 
The extent to which the bonus portion of each Award is earned and payable shall be determined by a subjective assessment of each Participant’s performance for the applicable Performance Period with respect to certain Personal Objectives. Each Participant’s manager shall recommend each Participant's Personal Objectives for the Performance Period for approval by Company management; provided that the Committee shall approve the Personal Objectives of the CEO.  Whether and to what extent a Participant has satisfied the applicable Personal Objectives shall be evaluated by the Division President, the CEO or the Committee (as applicable), in each case, in its sole discretion. 
A targeted performance level with respect to the Business Objectives shall be established for each Participant, which represents the desired performance level for the Performance Period.  In addition, unless otherwise determined with respect to an Award, a minimum and maximum level of performance with respect to the Business Objectives shall also be established for each Participant for the Performance Period.  Target, minimum and maximum performance levels may also be established with respect to Personal Objectives.  
Participants shall be advised of the Business Objectives that will be used to determine their Awards for the Performance Period, any weighting allocation of the various Business Objectives, as well as the weighting allocation between Business Objectives and Personal Objectives.
SECTION 162(M) AWARDS
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, designate at the time of grant that an Award to a Covered Employee is a Section 162(m) Award.  Any discretionary portion of an Award granted to a Covered Employee will be a separate grant from any performance-based portion of the Award. A Section 162(m) Award granted under this Plan also constitutes a “Section 162(m) Award” under the LTIP and is subject to all the terms and conditions of the LTIP governing “Section 162(m) Awards” (as defined in the LTIP), including but not limited to the per person award limitations in Section 5 of the LTIP and Section 6(k) of the LTIP.  Business Objectives for any Section 162(m) Award shall be based on one or more of the business criteria specified in Section 6(k)(i)(B)(1) of the Plan, shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code and regulations thereunder.  
AWARD LEVELS
A Target Award shall be established at the beginning of each Performance Period for each Participant.  Individual Target Award levels may reflect variations in job function and scope and the potential impact the Participant has on the Company’s or a Division’s, as applicable, business priorities.  If a Participant has a more senior position, a greater portion of total compensation may be placed “at risk.”  Award minimums and maximums may also be established for each Performance Period for performance levels below and above target 









performance.  Award opportunity levels corresponding to the minimum, target and maximum levels of performance may vary by Participant.
PAYMENT OF AWARDS
The amount of an Award earned and payable under the Plan shall be determined by evaluating performance against Business Objectives and Personal Objectives for the applicable Performance Period, and the actual amount paid with respect to an Award may be higher or lower than a Participant’s Target Award, depending on whether the minimum, target or maximum performance target, if applicable, has been met.  Each Division President and the CEO shall evaluate satisfaction of Business Objectives and Personal Objectives and determine Award payment amount recommendations with final approval made by (i) the CEO for all Participants with an annualized base salary (determined on the last day of the applicable Performance Period) below $350,000 and (ii) the Committee for all Participants with an annualized base salary (determined on the last day of the applicable Performance Period) equal to or greater than $350,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall evaluate satisfaction of Business Objectives and Personal Objectives and determine Award payment amounts with respect to all Covered Employees in accordance with Section 6(k)(i) of the LTIP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in determining the payment amount of each Award (including any Section 162(m) Award), the Committee may reduce (including a reduction of the payment to $0) the amount that may otherwise be earned and payable with respect to such Award if, in its sole discretion, it determines that such reduction or elimination is appropriate. 
Awards shall be paid no later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of the Performance Period. Awards shall be paid: (i) in a lump sum cash payment, (ii) through the issuance of Stock, (iii) through the grant of equity-based award(s) or (iv) through any combination of the foregoing. Any Stock issued or equity-based award(s) granted in payment of Awards shall not be issued under the Plan but shall instead be issued under the LTIP, and the number of shares of Stock issued (or number of shares of Stock subject to the equity-based award granted) will generally be equal to the dollar value of the Award otherwise payable divided by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the LTIP) of a share of Stock on the date of final approval, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. All applicable taxes and withholdings shall be deducted from Award payments in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. Cash Awards may be deferred under the MDCP in accordance with the provisions of the MDCP.
PLAN CHANGES DUE TO COMPANY ACTIVITY
Acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, significant corporate changes and/or extraordinary events involving the Company may require changes or amendments (including reduction, elimination or termination) to outstanding unvested Awards and/or an applicable Performance Period’s targets, minimums, maximums, Business Objectives, Personal Objectives and/or Award opportunities. In such cases, any changes or amendments shall be presented to the CEO and/or the Committee for approval; provided, that, in the case 









of any Section 162(m) Award, adjustments may only be made in accordance with Section 6(k)(i)(B)(3) of the LTIP.
AWARD PAYMENT UNDER VARIOUS EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS
The Committee and/or the CEO may determine, or may delegate the determination of, eligibility for Awards and any payment of Awards to Participants who enter or exit employment, transfer between Divisions, or who are promoted during a Performance Period; provided that, to the extent required with respect to Awards intended to be Section 162(m) Awards, the Committee may not delegate any determination with respect to any Section 162(m) Award.
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.  The Committee has sole discretion over the Plan. The decisions of the Committee with respect to the Plan (including but not limited to questions of construction, interpretation and administration) shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in or under the Plan. Any determination made by the Committee shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law in the event it is subject to judicial review and shall be overturned by a court of law only if it is arbitrary and capricious.  
PLAN CONTINUATION 
The Company expects and intends to continue the Plan but does not guarantee any specific levels of Award payments or the continuation of any Award payments. The Company, through action of the Committee in its sole discretion, reserves the right to amend, alter, modify, suspend, change, discontinue or terminate this Plan and outstanding unvested Awards at any time, in any manner and for any Performance Period, without the consent of any Participant. 


MISCELLANEOUS


The Plan is subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations. The Plan and all related documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas. If any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall continue in effect.


Nothing contained in the Plan (or in any other documents relating to the Plan or to any Award) shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of any entity within the Company’s controlled group or constitute any contract or agreement of employment or other service, nor shall interfere in any way with the right of the applicable entity within the Company’s controlled group to change such Participant’s compensation or other benefits or to terminate the employment of such Participant, with or without cause. 











Unless otherwise determined by the Company, the Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Plan shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company, any Division or subsidiary and any Participant or other person. To the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of an Award under the Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor.


Awards from the Plan shall not be considered as compensation for the purposes of any benefit plans or programs of the Company or any Division, except as specifically set forth otherwise in a formal plan document.
It is intended that payments under the Plan qualify as short-term deferrals exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In the event that any Award does not qualify for treatment as an exempt short-term deferral, it is intended that such amount will be paid in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan shall be interpreted and construed accordingly.
