WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the “Devon Energy Corporation 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan”, as amended and restated June 6, 2012, including 2013 amendment (the “Plan”); and

WHEREAS, the Participant is a nonemployee director of the Company and it is important to the Company that the Participant be encouraged to remain a director of the Company; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, the Participant and the Company agree as follows:

2. Grant of Award. The Company hereby grants to the Participant an award (the “Award”) of %%TOTAL_SHARES_GRANTED%-% shares of the Company Common Stock (the “Restricted Stock”), on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

3. Terms of Award.
