                                     PURPOSE

          This document sets forth the terms of the Occidental Petroleum
Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") as amended and restated
effective as of January 1, 2003. The prior Plan document, which was effective
January 1, 1999, constituted the amendment, restatement and merger of the
Occidental Petroleum Corporation 1988 Deferred Compensation Plan (the "1988
DCP") and the Occidental Petroleum Corporation Senior Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "SEDCP").

          The purpose of the Plan is to provide a tax-deferred opportunity for
key management and highly compensated employees of the Occidental Petroleum
Corporation and its Affiliates (as defined below) to accumulate additional
retirement income through deferrals of compensation.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                  PARTICIPATION

     4.1  Election to Participate.

          (a)  Deferral Elections. An Eligible Employee may elect to participate
in the Plan and elect to defer annual Base Salary and/or Bonus under the Plan by
filing a completed and fully executed Deferral Election Form prior to the
beginning of the Plan Year during which such Base Salary and Bonus are to be
earned or at such other time as the Committee may permit. Deferral Election
Forms must be filed in accordance with the instructions set forth in the
Deferral Election Forms.

          Various deferral options will be made available to Eligible Employees
under the Plan, subject to such limitations and conditions as the Committee may
impose from time to time, in its complete and sole discretion. A Deferral
Election Form filed for the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2003, or for any
subsequent Plan Year shall be effective for Base Salary and/or Bonus to be
earned during that Plan Year and shall remain in effect for that Plan Year and
subsequent Plan Years, notwithstanding any change in the Participant's Base
Salary or Bonus, until changed or terminated in accordance with the terms of
this Section 4.1; provided, however, that such election shall terminate if the
Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee. Subject to the minimum deferral
requirements and maximum deferral limitations set forth below, a Participant may
increase, decrease or terminate his deferral election effective for Compensation
to be earned during any Plan Year by filing a new Deferral Election Form with
the Committee prior to January 1 of such Plan Year.

          Each Deferral Election Form will designate the DCP Deferral Amounts as
a fixed dollar amount or fixed percentage (in increments of 1%) of Base Salary
and/or (i) a fixed dollar amount or a fixed percentage of Bonus, or (ii) 100% of
any Bonus exceeding a specified dollar amount, as elected by the Participant.
Deferrals of Base Salary will normally be deducted ratably during the Plan Year.
In its sole discretion, the Committee may also permit amounts that an Eligible
Employee has previously elected to defer under other plans or agreements with
the Company to be transferred to this Plan and credited to his Deferral Accounts
that are maintained hereunder.

               (A)  Minimum Deferral. For each Plan Year, the minimum amount of
     Base Salary that a Participant may elect to defer is $5,000, if expressed
     as a dollar amount, or 5% of Base Salary, if expressed as a percentage, and
     the minimum amount of Bonus that a Participant may elect to defer is any of
     the following: (I) $5,000, (II) 5% of Bonus, or (III) 100% of that portion
     of any Bonus that exceeds a dollar amount specified by the Participant on
     his Deferral Election Form.

               (B)  Maximum Deferral. For each Plan Year, the maximum amount of
     Base Salary that a Participant may elect to defer is 75% of Base Salary,
     and the maximum amount of Bonus that a Participant may elect to defer is
     100% of Bonus.

          (b)  Early Payment Benefit Election. On the Deferral Election Form
filed pursuant to Section 4.1(a), an Eligible Employee may irrevocably elect to
receive the

                                       8
<PAGE>

Compensation deferred pursuant to that election in a lump sum payment or in
annual installments over two (2) to five (5) years commencing prior to
Retirement on an Early Payment Date. If a Participant fails to designate the
form of distribution for an Early Payment Benefit, the distribution shall be in
the form of a lump sum. The Early Payment Date elected must be a year that
begins at least two (2) years after the end of the first Plan Year to which the
election applies. An Early Payment Benefit election filed for the Plan Year
beginning January 1, 2003, or for any subsequent Plan Year, shall be effective
for Compensation earned and deferred during that Plan Year and each subsequent
Plan Year until terminated in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.1;
provided, however, that deferrals of Compensation earned during any Plan Year
that ends less than two (2) years prior to the Early Payment Date will not be
subject to the Early Payment Benefit election and shall be paid upon the
Participant's termination of employment as set forth in Section 5.1 or 5.2, as
the case may be. A Participant may terminate an election for an Early Payment
Benefit with respect to Compensation deferred in any future Plan Year by filing
a new Deferral Election Form with the Committee prior to January 1 of such Plan
Year. A Participant may not, however, change the form of benefit or time of
commencement of Early Payment Benefit with respect to Compensation deferred
pursuant to a Deferral Election Form after that Deferral Election is filed
pursuant to Section 4.1(a).

          A Participant may not at any time have more than two Early Payment
Dates scheduled. However, after an Early Payment Date has occurred and all
payments with respect to the corresponding Early Payment Date election have been
completed, a Participant may elect a new Early Payment Date for future deferrals
of Compensation.

     4.2  DCP Deferral Accounts. The Committee shall establish and maintain a
separate DCP Deferral Account for each Participant. The amount credited to a
Participant's Deferral Account under the 1988 DCP as of December 31, 1998
remained credited to his DCP Deferral Account under this Plan as of January 1,
1999. A DCP Deferral Amount shall be credited by the Company to the
Participant's DCP Deferral Account as of the date that the Participant's Base
Salary or Bonus would otherwise have been paid. Such DCP Deferral Account shall
be debited by the amount of any payments made by the Company to the Participant
or the Participant's Beneficiary therefrom as of the date of payment. The
Committee shall establish an Early Payment Date Subaccount within a
Participant's DCP Deferral Account for each Early Payment Date elected by that
Participant. Any such Early Payment Date Subaccount shall be debited by the
amount of any Early Payment Benefit paid by the Company to the Participant on or
beginning on such Early Payment Date pursuant to Section 5.4 as of the date of
payment.

     4.3  SEDCP Deferral Accounts. The Committee shall maintain a separate SEDCP
Deferral Account for each Participant who was a participant in the SEDCP on
December 31, 1998. The balance of such Participant's accounts under the SEDCP as
of December 31, 1998 remained credited to each such Participant's SEDCP Deferral
Account under this Plan as of January 1, 1999. SEDCP Deferral Accounts shall be
debited by the amount of any payments made by the Company to the Participant or
the Participant's Beneficiary therefrom as of the date of payment.

     4.4  Interest. Each Deferral Account of a Participant shall be deemed to
bear interest on the monthly balance of such Deferral Account at the Declared
Rate for each Plan Year, compounded monthly. Except as provided in Section
5.2(a) with respect to SEDCP Deferral

                                       9
<PAGE>

Accounts for Participants who die prior to becoming eligible for Retirement,
interest will be credited to each Deferral Account on a monthly basis on the
last day of each month as long as any amount remains credited to such Deferral
Account. Effective January 1, 2003, amounts of deferred Compensation that are
credited to a Deferral Account and amounts of Savings Plan Restoration
Contributions that are credited to a Savings Plan Restoration Account prior to
the end of a calendar month shall accrue interest from the date of crediting,
computed on the basis of a 30-day month based on days elapsed from date of
crediting to the end of the month.

     4.5  Valuation of Deferral Accounts. The value of a Deferral Account as of
any date shall equal the amounts previously credited to such Deferral Account
less any payments debited to such Deferral Account plus the interest deemed to
be earned on such Deferral Account in accordance with Section 4.4 through the
end of the preceding month. When payments are made from a DCP Deferral Account
for any reason other than an Early Payment Benefit elected after January 1,
1994, such payments shall be deemed to be made on a proportionate or pro-rata
basis from DCP Deferral Amounts (including accumulated interest thereon) that
were earned and deferred under the 1988 DCP prior to January 1, 1994 and DCP
Deferral Amounts (including accumulated interest thereon) that were earned and
deferred after that date.

     4.6  Savings Plan Restoration Contribution. For each Plan Year, the Company
shall credit to the Savings Plan Restoration Account of any Participant, an
amount equal to the amount by which the contribution that would otherwise have
been made by the Company on behalf of the Participant to the Savings Plan for
such Plan Year is reduced by reason of the reduction in the Participant's Base
Salary for such Plan Year because of deferrals under this Plan. The Savings Plan
Restoration Contribution shall be credited to the Savings Plan Restoration
Account of each Participant for each Plan Year at the same time as the Company
contribution for such Plan Year is made to the Savings Plan. A Participant's
interest in any credit to his Savings Plan Restoration Account and earnings
thereon shall vest at the same rate and at the same time as would have been the
case had such contribution been made to the Savings Plan. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, if, upon a Participant's termination
of employment, the Participant has not or does not become 100% vested in his
Savings Plan Restoration Account, the unvested portion of his Savings Plan
Restoration Account shall be forfeited prior to the determination of the amount
of any benefits under Sections 5.1, 5.6 or 5.7.

     4.7  Statement of Deferral Accounts. The Committee shall submit to each
Participant, within 120 days after the close of each Plan Year, a statement in
such form as the Committee deems desirable, setting forth the Participant's
Deferral Account(s).

                                   ARTICLE V
                                    BENEFITS

     5.1  Termination of Employment for a Reason Other Than Death.

          (a)  Form and Time of Benefit. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 5.1, upon a Participant's termination of employment for a reason other
than death (including Retirement and Disability), the Company shall pay to the
Participant in a single lump sum within the first 90 days of the calendar year
following the Participant's termination of employment an amount equal to the
value of the Participant's Deferral Accounts as of the end of

                                       10
<PAGE>

the month preceding payment (after reduction for any forfeitures as set forth in
Section 4.6). Any Retirement or Termination Benefits paid in annual installments
pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or 5.1(c) shall be paid within the first 90 days of
each calendar year, beginning with the year following the Participant's
Retirement or other termination of employment and shall be determined based on
the value of the Participant's Deferral Accounts as of the last day of the month
preceding payment.

          (b)  Retirement. A Participant may elect in his Distribution Election
Form to have the Retirement Benefit, which may consist solely of the
participant's Savings Plan Restoration Account, paid to him in a lump sum,
annual payments for any other number of years between two (2) and 20 years or,
if available as an option on the Distribution Election Form provided to the
Participant, in a combination of an initial lump sum payment followed by annual
installments over the next one (1) to 20 years. The amount of each annual
installment will be determined under either the Amortization Method or the
Fractional Method. Unless the Participant otherwise elects, the amount of any
such annual payments shall be calculated under the Amortization Method in the
case of a Participant retiring before 2004 and under the Fractional Method in
the case of a Participant retiring in 2004 and subsequent years. Any election of
an alternative form of distribution or the alternate method of calculating
installment amounts under this Section 5.1(b) must be made on a Distribution
Election Form and must be received by the Committee no later than the December
31 preceding the date of the Participant's Retirement and shall become effective
on the date that is 12 months after the Distribution Election Form is received
by the Committee.

          A Participant may change his election as to the form of payment and/or
method of calculating annual installment amounts, provided that his change
election is made on a Distribution Election Form and such election is received
by the Committee no later than the December 31 preceding the date of the
Participant's Retirement, unless otherwise permitted by the Committee. Such
change in election shall become effective on the date that is 12 months after
the Distribution Election Form is received by the Committee. Subject to the
foregoing limitations, a Participant may make such election (or revoke a prior
election and make a new election) at any time. Any election (or modification or
revocation of a prior election) that is made later than the December 31
preceding the Participant's Retirement will be considered void and shall have no
force or effect, except as otherwise determined by the Committee.

          (c)  Termination Prior to Retirement. If a Participant's employment
with the Company terminates for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or
death, then Participant shall receive a Termination Benefit in a lump sum as
provided in Section 5.1(a); provided, however, at the sole discretion of the
Committee, no lump sum shall be payable and instead, the Company shall pay to
the Participant an annual amount for a period not to exceed three (3) years,
determined using the Fractional Method.

          (d)  Disability. If a Participant's employment with the Company
terminates prior to Retirement due to a Disability, then the Participant shall
receive a Disability Benefit in a lump sum within the first 90 days of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age
55 in an amount equal to the value of the Participant's Deferral Accounts as of
the end of the month preceding payment.

                                       11
<PAGE>

          (e)  Effect of Pre-Retirement Termination of Employment on Spousal
Survivor Benefits. Spousal survivor benefits (if any) under Section 5.3 of the
Plan shall not be payable to the spouse of a Participant who terminates
employment prior to Retirement and receives a Termination Benefit or a
Disability Benefit under this Section 5.1.

     5.2  Beneficiary Benefits.

          (a)  If a Participant dies while employed by the Company prior to
becoming eligible for Retirement, the Company shall pay to the Participant's
Beneficiary in a single lump sum an amount equal to the value of the
Participant's DCP Deferral Account and Savings Plan Restoration Account, if any.
If such Participant also has an SEDCP Deferral Account, the Company will also
pay to the Participant's Beneficiary annual payments over the greater of (i) 10
years or (ii) until the Participant would have attained age 65 equal to 25% of
the amount deferred under the SEDCP (excluding any interest on such deferrals),
which payments shall be in full satisfaction of the benefits payable with
respect to the Participant's SEDCP Deferral Account. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Participant's Beneficiary shall instead be paid the amount
credited to the Participant's SEDCP Deferral Account as of the end of the month
in which his death occurred plus interest at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded
annually, from the end of such month and credited annually on each anniversary
of the end of such month payable in equal installments (using the Amortization
method) over the period described in the succeeding sentence, if the Committee
determines that the present value of such benefit is greater than the present
value of the benefit described in the preceding sentence. In comparing the
present value of these two alternative benefits, the Committee shall use in each
case a discount factor of 8%.

          (b)  If a Participant dies while employed by the Company after
becoming eligible for Retirement, the Company will pay to the Participant's
Beneficiary in a single lump sum a Beneficiary Benefit that is an amount equal
to the value of the Participant's Deferral Accounts.

          (c)  If a Participant dies after the commencement of payment of his
Retirement Benefit, then the remaining installments of the Retirement Benefit
shall be payable to his Beneficiary in the same amounts and at the same times as
such installment would have been paid to the Participant if he were living.

          (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2, a
Participant may elect at any time that if he dies prior to the commencement of
his Retirement Benefits, then the payment to his Beneficiary shall be made in
any form and calculated in any other manner described in Section 5.1(b). Such an
election shall be on a Distribution Election Form.

          (e)  The payment or payments to a Beneficiary of a deceased
Participant under this Section 5.2 shall be made or commence during the first 90
days of the calendar year following the year in which the Participant's death
occurred, and the amount of such payment shall be equal to, or determined based
on, the value of the Participant's Deferral Accounts as of the end of the month
preceding payment.

                                       12
<PAGE>

          (f)  In the event that the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant dies
prior to the completion of payments under this Plan to that Beneficiary, all
remaining payments to that Beneficiary shall be paid in a lump sum to that
Beneficiary's estate.

     5.3  Spousal Survivor Benefits with Respect to SEDCP Deferral Accounts. If
a Participant who has an SEDCP Deferral Account dies after becoming eligible for
Retirement or after commencement of payment of his Retirement Benefit and a
spouse to whom he had been married to for at least one (1) year prior to his
death survives beyond completion of payment of the Participant's SEDCP Deferral
Account balance, the Company shall pay such spouse a lump sum payment in an
amount equal to 10% of the Participant's SEDCP Deferral Account balance valued
as of the earlier of the date of the Participant's Retirement or death. Such
lump sum spousal survivor benefit shall be paid as soon as administratively
practicable following the later of the completion of payment of the
Participant's SEDCP Deferral Account balance or the Participant's death. No
benefit shall be payable under this Section 5.3 if the Participant's spouse does
not survive beyond completion of payment of the Participant's SEDCP Deferral
Account balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no spousal survivor benefit
shall be payable to the spouse of any Participant who received benefits pursuant
to Section 5.1(c) (Termination Benefit), Section 5.1(d) (Disability Benefit) or
Section 5.6 (Immediate Payment on Termination Event).

     5.4  Early Payment. Payment of the amounts credited to any Early Payment
Date Subaccount of a Participant shall be paid or commence to be paid within the
first 90 days of the year elected as the Early Payment Date in accordance with
the Participant's election under Section 4.1(b), with any subsequent annual
payments paid in the first 90 days of each applicable year. The amount of each
annual installment will be determined under either the Amortization Method or
the Fractional Method. The amount of any such annual payments shall be
calculated under the Amortization Method for Early Payment Dates elected prior
to 2003 and unless the Participant otherwise irrevocably elects at the time of
making the Early Payment Benefit Election, under the Fractional Method for Early
Payment Dates elected in 2003 and later.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant terminates
employment with the Company for any reason prior to commencement or completion
of all Early Payment Benefits, all such elections made by the Participant to
receive Early Payment Benefits shall terminate and any amounts remaining
credited to the Participant's Early Payment Date Subaccount(s) shall be paid,
together with the other amounts credited to the Participant's Deferral Account,
as set forth in Section 5.1 or 5.2, as the case may be.

     5.5  Emergency Benefit. In the event that the Committee, upon written
petition of the Participant, determines in its sole discretion that the
Participant has suffered an unforeseeable financial emergency, the Company shall
pay to the Participant, as soon as practicable following such determination, an
amount up to the balance of the Participant's Deferral Accounts that is
necessary to meet the emergency ("Emergency Benefit"). Such payment shall come
first from the amounts not credited to any Early Payment Date Subaccount and, if
the Participant has elected two (2) Early Payment Dates, next from the Early
Payment Date Subaccount for the later Early Payment Date. No amount may be paid
to the Participant under this Section 5.5 from any unvested portion of the
Participant's Savings Plan Restoration Account. For purposes of this Plan, an
unforeseeable financial emergency is a severe financial hardship to the
Participant arising from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the
Participant or a dependent of the

                                       13
<PAGE>

Participant, loss of the Participant's property due to a casualty, or other
similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of
events beyond the control of the Participant. Cash needs arising from
foreseeable events such as the purchase of a home or education expenses for
children shall normally not be considered to be the result of an unforeseeable
financial emergency.

          Whenever a Participant receives a distribution under this Section 5.5,
the Participant will be deemed to have revoked all current deferral elections
under the Plan effective as of the date of the distribution. The Participant
will not be permitted to participate in the next enrollment period under the
Plan and will be precluded from electing to make new deferrals under the Plan
for a minimum period of one (1) year (or such lesser period as the Committee may
permit) following receipt of the distribution.

     5.6  Immediate Payment on Termination Event. Upon petition of a Participant
within 60 days after any Termination Event or such other period as the Committee
may permit, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may direct the Company to pay
the balance of the Participant's Deferral Accounts, reduced by any unvested
portion of the Participant's Savings Plan Restoration Account, to him
immediately in a lump sum as a Termination Benefit pursuant to Section 5.1,
irrespective of whether the Participant terminates or continues employment with
the Company. Spousal survivor benefits (if any) under Section 5.3 of the Plan
shall not be payable to the spouse of a Participant who receives benefits under
this Section 5.6.

     5.7  Small Benefit. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, in the event that the value of a Participant's Deferral Accounts as of
the end of the Plan Year in which the Participant's Retirement or other
termination of employment occurs is less than $20,000 (after reduction for any
forfeiture pursuant to Section 4.6), such amount (with interest to the end of
the month preceding the payment date) shall be paid in a cash lump sum without
regard to any contrary elections, unless the Committee determines otherwise.

     5.8  Lump Sum Payment With Penalty. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Plan, in lieu of payments in accordance with the form previously elected by
the Participant, a Participant (or his Beneficiary, in the event of the
Participant's death) may elect at any time to receive an immediate lump sum
payment of all or part of the vested balance of the Participant's Deferral
Accounts, reduced by a penalty, which shall be forfeited to the Company, equal
to 10% of the amount withdrawn from the Participant's Deferral Accounts. Such
payment shall come first from the amounts not credited to any Early Payment Date
Subaccount and, if the Participant has elected two (2) Early Payment Dates, next
from the Early Payment Date Subaccount for the later Early Payment Date. No
amount may be paid to a Participant under this Section 5.8 from any unvested
portion of the Participant's Savings Plan Restoration Account.

          Whenever a Participant receives a lump sum payment under this Section
5.8, the Participant will be deemed to have revoked all current deferral
elections under the Plan effective as of the date of the lump sum payment. The
Participant will not be permitted to participate in the next enrollment period
under the Plan and will be precluded from electing to make new deferrals under
the Plan for a minimum period of one (1) year (or such lesser period as the
Committee may permit) following receipt of the lump sum payment.

                                       14

     5.9  Tax Withholding and Reporting.

          (a)  To the extent required by the law in effect at the time payments
are made, the Company shall withhold from payments made hereunder the taxes
required to be withheld by Federal, state and local law.

          (b)  The Company shall have the right at its option to (i) require a
Participant to pay or provide for payment of the amount of any taxes that the
Company may be required to withhold with respect to interest or other amounts
that the Company credits to a Participant's Deferral Accounts or (ii) deduct
from any amount of salary, bonus or other payment otherwise payable in cash to
the Participant the amount of any taxes that the Company may be required to
withhold with respect to interest or other amounts that the Company credits to a
Participant's Deferral Accounts.

          (c)  The tax withholding and reporting rules described in this
subsection shall apply to payments made under the Plan pursuant to a Qualified
Divorce Order, shall be subject to any applicable superceding guidance
promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, and shall apply in addition to (not
in substitution of) the preceding two subsections. Amounts paid to an Alternate
Payee shall be subject to federal income tax withholding and, together with
amounts so withheld, shall be reportable to the Alternate Payee. In addition,
amounts paid to an Alternate Payee shall be subject to taxation under the
Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA") and the Federal Unemployment Tax
Act ("FUTA") to the same extent as if such amounts had been paid to the
Participant. To the extent that amounts paid to an Alternate Payee are subject
to taxation under FICA and/or FUTA, such payments shall be treated as the wages
of the Participant, and shall be so reportable, but any amounts required under
FICA to be withheld from such payments shall be withheld from the payments to
the Alternate Payee.

     5.10 Termination of Employment. For the purpose of this Article V, a
Participant will be deemed to have terminated employment if the Participant
ceases to be an employee of any of the following:

          (a)  the Company;

          (b)  an Affiliate; or

          (c)  any other entity, whether or not incorporated, in which the
     Company has an ownership interest, and the Committee has designated that
     the Participant's commencement of employment with such entity upon
     Participant's ceasing to be an employee of an entity described in (a) or
     (b) above will not be deemed to be a termination of employment for purposes
     of this Plan, provided that such designation shall be made in writing by
     the Committee and shall be communicated to the Participant prior to his
     commencement of employment with the entity so designated.

For the purposes of the preceding provisions, a Participant who ceases to be an
employee of an entity described in (a), (b) or (c) above shall not be deemed to
have terminated employment if such cessation of employment is followed
immediately by his commencement of employment with another entity described in
(a), (b) or (c) above.

                                       15
<PAGE>

     5.11 Re-Employment. If a Participant's employment with the Company is
terminated and such Participant is re-employed by the Company prior to the
payment of his benefits in a cash lump sum payment or while he is receiving
benefits in the form of annual installment payments, the payment of the lump sum
amount or the future installments, as the case may be, shall be suspended until
he again terminates employment with the Company. Such Participant may elect to
again participate in this Plan and to defer additional Base Salary and/or Bonus
as provided in Section 4.1. Such rehired Participant may file a Distribution
Election Form as provided in Section 5.1(b) and/or Section 5.2(d) to be
applicable to all amounts deferred under this Plan (both before and after his
original termination of employment); provided, however, that such Distribution
Election Form shall not be effective as to the form of payment of Retirement
Benefits until 12 months after it is received by the Committee. Upon the
Participant's subsequent termination of employment with the Company, the total
amounts then credited to his Deferral Accounts shall be distributed in
accordance with Article V of this Plan and the most recently filed Distribution
Election Form (if any) that has become effective. If the Participant's original
termination of employment was on account of Retirement and he had elected a form
of installment payout, then the amounts credited to his Deferral Accounts at the
time of his subsequent Retirement shall be distributed over the number of years
that were remaining in the payout period at the time of his re-employment unless
he filed a new Distribution Election Form at least 12 months prior to his
subsequent Retirement.

     5.12 Qualified Divorce Orders. Subject to the policies and procedures
established by the Committee under Section 9.3(b) hereof and the provisions of
this Plan, benefits may be paid from the balance of a Participant's Deferral
Account(s) in accordance with a Qualified Divorce Order without regard to
whether the Participant has terminated employment in accordance with Section
5.10 hereof. In addition, and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the
contrary, the Committee shall follow any distribution requirement contained in a
Qualified Divorce Order that provides for an earlier lump sum distribution than
would otherwise be permitted under this Plan.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                             BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

          Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any
person or persons as the Beneficiary to whom payments under this Plan shall be
made in the event of the Participant's death prior to complete distribution to
the Participant of the benefits due under the Plan. Each Beneficiary designation
shall become effective only when filed in writing with the Committee during the
Participant's lifetime on a paper form prescribed by the Committee. The filing
of a new Beneficiary designation form will cancel any inconsistent Beneficiary
designation previously filed.

          If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above,
or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, any benefits
remaining unpaid shall be paid in accordance with the Participant's Beneficiary
designation under the Company's Retirement Plan, and if there is no such valid
Beneficiary designation, to the Participant's then surviving spouse, or if none,
to the Participant's estate, unless directed otherwise by the court that has
jurisdiction over the assets belonging to the Participant's probate estate.

                                CLAIMS PROCEDURE

          All applications for benefits under the Plan shall be submitted to:
Occidental Petroleum Corporation, Attention: Deferred Compensation Plan
Committee, 10889 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90024. Applications for
benefits must be in writing on the forms prescribed by the Committee and must be
signed by the Participant, or in the case of a Beneficiary Benefit, by the
Beneficiary or legal representative of the deceased Participant. Each
application shall be acted upon and approved or disapproved within 60 days
following its receipt by the Committee. If any application for a benefit is
denied, in whole or in part, the Committee shall notify the applicant in writing
of such denial and of his right to a review by the Committee and shall set forth
in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, specified reasons for
such denial, specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the
denial is based, a description of any additional material or information
necessary for the applicant to perfect his application, an explanation of why
such material or information is necessary, and an explanation of the Plan's
review procedure.

          Any person, or his duly authorized representative, whose application
for benefits is denied in whole or in part, may appeal such denial to the
Committee for a review of the decision by submitting to the Committee within 60
days after receiving notice of the denial, a written statement:

          (a)  requesting a review of his application for benefits by the
     Committee;

          (b)  setting forth all of the grounds upon which his request for
     review is based and any facts in support thereof; and

          (c)  setting forth any issues or comments which the applicant deems
     relevant to his application.

          The Committee shall act upon each such application within 60 days
after the later of receipt of the applicant's request for review by the
Committee or receipt of any additional materials reasonably requested by the
Committee from such applicant.

          The Committee shall make a full and fair review of each such
application and any written materials submitted by the applicant or the Company
in connection therewith, and may require the Company or the applicant to submit
within 30 days of written notice by the Committee, such additional facts,
documents, or other evidence as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems
necessary or advisable in making such a review. On the basis of its review, the
Committee shall make an independent determination of the applicant's eligibility
for benefits under the Plan. The decision of the Committee on any application
for benefits shall be final and conclusive upon all persons.

          If the Committee denies an application in whole or in part, the
Committee shall give written notice of its decision to the applicant setting
forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific
reasons for such denial and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions
on which the Committee's decision was based.

           No legal action may be commenced prior to the completion of the
benefit claims procedure described herein. In addition, no legal action may be
commenced after the later of (a) 180 days after receiving the written response
of the Committee to an appeal, or (b) 365 days after an applicant's original

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

     8.1  Amendment. The Board may amend the Plan in whole or in part at any
time for any reason, including but not limited to, tax, accounting or other
changes, which may result in termination of the Plan for future deferrals. The
Committee, in its discretion, may amend the Plan if the Committee determines
that such amendment does not significantly increase or decrease Plan benefits or
costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall: (a) reduce the amounts
that have been credited to the Deferral Account(s) of any Participant prior to
the date such amendment is adopted, (b) eliminate the spousal survivor benefit
under Section 5.3, or (c) change the definition of the Declared Rate set forth
in Article II to a rate or to a formula that, as of the last day of the month
preceding the date such amendment is adopted, produces a rate that is less than
the lesser of: (i) Moodys Plus Three (as defined in Article II and calculated as
of the last day of the month preceding the date such amendment is adopted), or
(ii) the highest yield on any unsecured debt or preferred stock of the Company
that was outstanding on the last day of the month immediately preceding the date
such amendment is adopted. Any amendment that would either (i) reduce the
Declared Rate to a rate or to a formula that, as of the last day of the month
preceding the date such amendment is adopted, produces a rate that is less than
Moodys Plus Three (as defined in Article II and calculated as of the last day of
the month preceding the date such amendment is adopted), or (ii) change the
terms of the amendment provisions of this Section 8.1 or the terms of the
termination provisions of Section 8.2, shall not be effective prior to the date
that is two years after the date such amendment is adopted, unless the amendment
is required by a change in the tax or other applicable laws or accounting rules.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, following a Termination Event, no amendment
shall: (a) reduce the amounts that have been credited to the Deferral Account(s)
of any Participant prior to the date such amendment is adopted, (b) eliminate
the spousal survivor benefit under Section 5.3, (c) change the definition of the
Declared Rate set forth in Article II to a rate or to a formula that, as of the
last day of the month preceding the date of the Termination Event, produces a
rate that is less than Moodys Plus Three (as defined in Article II and
calculated as of the last day of the month preceding the date of the Termination
Event), or (d) change the terms of the amendment provisions of this Section 8.1
or the terms of the termination provisions of Section 8.2.

     8.2  Termination.

          (a)  Company's Right to Terminate. The Board may terminate the Plan at
any time, if in the Board's judgment, the continuance of the Plan would not be
in the Company's best interest due to tax, accounting or other effects thereof,
or potential payouts thereunder, provided that any termination of the Plan shall
not be effective prior to the date that is two years after the date the Board
adopts a resolution to terminate the Plan, unless the termination of the Plan is
required by a change in the tax or other applicable laws or accounting rules.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, following a Termination Event, the Plan may not
be terminated prior to the date that is three years after the date the
Termination Event occurs. In the event the Board adopts a

                                       18
<PAGE>

resolution terminating the Plan, the Board or the Committee shall determine the
date as of which all deferral elections shall cease to apply so that no further
Base Salary or Bonus shall be deferred under the Plan.

          (b)  Payments Upon Termination. Upon any termination of the Plan under
this Section 8.2, the Board or Committee shall determine the date or dates of
Plan distributions to the Participants, which date or dates shall not be later
than the date or dates on which the Participants or their Beneficiaries would
otherwise receive benefits hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1  Unsecured General Creditor. The rights of a Participant, Beneficiary,
or their heirs, successors, and assigns, as relates to any Company promises
hereunder, shall not be secured by any specific assets of the Company, nor shall
any assets of the Company be designated as attributable or allocated to the
satisfaction of such promises.

     9.2  Trust Fund. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all
benefits provided under the Plan. At its discretion, the Company may establish
one or more trusts, with such trustees as the Board or Committee may approve,
for the purpose of providing for the payment of such benefits. Such trust or
trusts may be irrevocable, but the assets thereof shall be subject to the claims
of the Company's creditors. To the extent any benefits provided under the Plan
are actually paid from any such trust, the Company shall have no further
obligation with respect thereto, but to the extent not so paid, such benefits
shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by, the Company.

     9.3  Nonassignability.

          (a)  Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right
to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise
encumber, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt the amounts, if
any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, or interest therein which are, and
all rights to which are, expressly declared to be unassignable and
non-transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment,
be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments,
alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor
be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant's or any other
person's bankruptcy or insolvency.

          (b)  Notwithstanding subsection (a), the right to benefits payable
with respect to a Participant pursuant to a Qualified Divorce Order may be
created, assigned, or recognized. The Committee shall establish appropriate
policies and procedures to determine whether a Divorce Order presented to the
Committee constitutes a Qualified Divorce Order under this Plan, and to
administer distributions pursuant to the terms of Qualified Divorce Orders. In
the event that a Qualified Divorce Order exists with respect to benefits payable
under the Plan, such benefits otherwise payable to the Participant specified in
the Qualified Divorce Order shall be payable to the Alternate Payee specified in
such Qualified Divorce Order.

     9.4  Release from Liability to Participant. A Participant's right to
receive benefits under the Plan shall be reduced to the extent that any portion
of a Participant's Deferral Account(s) has

                                       19
<PAGE>

been paid or set side for payment to an Alternate Payee pursuant to a Qualified
Divorce Order or to the extent that the Company or the Plan is otherwise subject
to a binding judgment, decree, or order for the attachment, garnishment or
execution of any portion of the Participant's Deferral Account(s) or of any
distributions therefrom. The Participant shall be deemed to have released the
Company and the Plan from any claim with respect to such amounts in any case in
which (a) the Company, the Plan, or any Plan representative has been served with
legal process or otherwise joined in a proceeding relating to such amounts, and
(b) the Participant fails to obtain an order of the court in the proceeding
relieving the Company and the Plan from the obligation to comply with the
judgment, decree or order.

     9.5  Employment Not Guaranteed. Nothing contained in this Plan nor any
action taken hereunder shall be construed as a contract of employment or as
giving any Participant any right to be retained in employment with the Company.
Accordingly, subject to the terms of any written employment agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall have the right to terminate or change the terms of
employment of a Participant at any time and for any reason whatsoever, with or
without cause.

     9.6  Gender, Singular & Plural. All pronouns and any variations thereof
shall be deemed to refer to the masculine or feminine as the identity of the
person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may be
read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

     9.7  Captions. The captions of the articles, sections, and paragraphs of
the Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or
construction of any of its provisions.

     9.8  Validity. In the event any provision of this Plan is held invalid,
void, or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect whatsoever,
the validity of any other provision of this Plan.

     9.9  Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the
Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered,
or sent by registered or certified mail, to the principal office of the Company.
Such notice shall be deemed given as to the date of delivery or, if delivery is
made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for
registration or certification.

     9.10 Applicable Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California to the extent such laws are
not preempted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended.

                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                     (MANDATORY DEFERRED ISSUANCE OF SHARES)

Date of Grant:           December 8, 2003

Number of Restricted
Share Units:             See "Shares Granted/Awarded" (Grant Acknowledgment
                         screen)

Vesting Schedule:        1st Anniversary  20 Percent of Restricted Share Units
                         2nd Anniversary  20 Percent of Restricted Share Units

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 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, at the end of the
Deferral Period (as defined below) in accordance with Grantee's distribution
election, Common Shares equal to the number of Restricted Share Units (as
defined below) that vest according to the schedule set forth above. For the
purposes of these Terms and Conditions, (a) "Deferral Period" means the period
commencing on the date the Restricted Share Units vest and ending on the earlier
of the date the Grantee retires under a Company-sponsored retirement plan or the
date the Grantee's employment with the Company terminates for any other reason,
and (b) "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 5, dividend rights.

2.   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Neither these Terms and Conditions, the
Restricted Share Units nor the right to receive Common Shares 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 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 non-forfeitable 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").

DEC 2003 RSU
<PAGE>

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 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 "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.

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 Occidental Petroleum Corporation
Deferred Stock Program as such Program may be amended from time to time ("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 number
of Restricted Share Units 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 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.

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.

7.   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). If the Company must withhold any tax in connection with
the 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

                                       2
<PAGE>

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). 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.

9.   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 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.

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 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 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 Deferred Stock 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, no amendment
will adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under these Terms and Conditions
without the Grantee's consent.

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

13.  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.

14.  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.

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

16.  PRIVACY RIGHTS. By accepting this 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 Restricted Share Unit 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.

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

18.  GRANTEE'S REPRESENTATIONS AND RELEASES. By accepting this award, the
Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has read these Terms and Conditions and
understands that (i) the grant of this Restricted Share Unit award is made
voluntarily by Occidental in its discretion with no liability on the part of any
of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and that, if the Grantee is not an
employee of Occidental, the Grantee is not, and will not be considered, an
employee of Occidental but the Grantee is a third party (employee of a
subsidiary) to whom this Restricted Share Unit 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 Restricted Share Unit 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

                                       4
<PAGE>

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 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 (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.
