2. Devon's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated January 27,

3. Devon's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters
ended March 31, 2000, and June 30, 2000; and
4. The description of the Registrant's Common Stock set
forth in Exhibit 4.9 to the Registrant's Form 8-K,
dated August 18, 1999, including any amendment or
report filed for purposes of updating any such
description.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
shares of common stock covered by this Registration Statement
have been sold or which deregisters all such shares remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement will
be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained
in this Registration Statement or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference to this Registration Statement modifies or supersedes
such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded
will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to
constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Except to the extent indicated below, there is no charter
provision, by-law, contract, arrangement or statute under which
any director or officer of Registrant is insured or indemnified
in any manner against any liability which he or she may incur in
his or her capacity as such.
Article VIII of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
Registrant contains a provision, permitted by Section 102(b)(7)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), limiting
the personal monetary liability of directors for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director. The DGCL and the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provide that such
provision does not eliminate or limit liability,
(1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
Registrant or its stockholders,
(2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions, as provided in Section 174 of the
DGCL, or
(4) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL permits indemnification against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with actions, suits or proceedings in which a
director, officer, employee or agent is a party by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was such a director, officer, employee
or agent, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. However, in connection with actions by
or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification is not
permitted if such person has been adjudged liable to the
corporation unless the court determines that, under all of the
circumstances, such person is nonetheless fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper. Article X of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides for such indemnification.
Section 145 also permits a corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and officers
against any liability which may be asserted against, or incurred
by, such persons in their capacities as directors or officers of
the corporation whether or not Registrant would have the power to
indemnify such persons against such liabilities under the
provisions of such sections. Registrant has purchased such
insurance.
Section 145 further provides that the statutory provision is
not exclusive of any other right to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or independent
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person's
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office.
Article XIII of the by-laws of Registrant contains
provisions regarding indemnification, which parallel those
described above.
The merger agreement dated May 19, 1999 between Registrant
and PennzEnergy Company, a Delaware corporation ("PennzEnergy"),
provides that for seven years after the effective time of the
merger, Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless each person
who was a director or officer of Registrant or PennzEnergy prior
to the effective time from their acts or omissions in those
capacities occurring prior to the effective time to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law.
The merger agreement dated May 25, 2000, as amended, between
Registrant and Santa Fe Snyder Corporation ("Santa Fe Snyder"),
provides that for six years after the effective time of the
merger, Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless each person
who was a director or officer of Santa Fe Snyder prior to the
effective time from their acts or omissions in those capacities
occurring prior to the effective time to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.

24.1 Power of Attorney
Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information
in this Registration Statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form
S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement;
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to
the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof;
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the Registrant, the Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by any such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of
whether or not such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
