a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit brought by or in
the right of the corporation because he or she was an officer, director,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or other entity, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
in connection with such action or suit 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, provided that such indemnification will be denied
if the individual is found liable to the corporation unless, in such a case,
the court determines the person is nonetheless entitled to indemnification for
such expenses. A corporation must indemnify a present or former director or
officer who successfully defends himself or herself in a proceeding to which he
or she was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the
corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her.
Expenses incurred by an officer or director, or any employees or agents as
deemed appropriate by the board of directors, in defending civil or criminal
proceedings may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition
of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation. The Delaware law regarding indemnification and expense
advancement is not exclusive of any other rights which may be granted by
ConocoPhillips&#146; restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, agreement or otherwise.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, termination of any proceeding
by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that such person is prohibited from being
indemnified.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ConocoPhillips&#146; bylaws provide for the indemnification and advancement of
expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law of any individual made, or
threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was a director or officer of ConocoPhillips or is or was a director or
officer of ConocoPhillips serving as an officer, director, employee or agent of
any other enterprise at the request of ConocoPhillips. However, ConocoPhillips
will not indemnify a director or officer who commences any proceeding (except
for proceedings to enforce rights of indemnification), unless the commencement
of that proceeding was authorized or consented to by ConocoPhillips&#146; board of
directors.

<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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) of the Securities Act
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the
effective Registration Statement;



<P align="left" style="margin-left:6%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement;


<P align="left" style="margin-left: 3%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt"><I>provided, however</I>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, 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 Section&nbsp;13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.

<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:3%; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective

the termination of the offering.

Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new

Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the 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
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 whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
ConocoPhillips
(the "Registrant") filed a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 on August 23, 2002 (Registration No. 333-98681) (the "2002 Registration
Statement") to register shares of the Common Stock for issuance pursuant to,
among other benefit plans, the (a) Thrift Plan of Phillips Petroleum Company;
(b) Long-Term Stock Savings Plan of Phillips Petroleum Company; (c) Retirement
Savings Plan of Phillips Petroleum Company; (d) Tosco Corporation Store Savings
Plan; (e) Thrift Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc.; and (f) Thrift Plan for
Retail Employees of Conoco Inc.
Since the filing of the Registration Statement, the following events have
occurred:
•
the Thrift Plan of Phillips Petroleum Company was merged with
and into the Long-Term Stock Savings Plan of Phillips Petroleum
Company;
•
the Long-Term Stock Savings Plan of Phillips Petroleum
Company was renamed the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan;
•
the Retirement Savings Plan of Phillips Petroleum Company was
renamed the Retirement Savings Plan of ConocoPhillips Company;
•
the Tosco Corporation Store Savings Plan was renamed the
ConocoPhillips Store Savings Plan;
•
the Thrift Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc. was merged with
and into the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan; and
•
the Thrift Plan for Retail Employees of Conoco Inc. was
merged with and into the ConocoPhillips Store Savings Plan.
As a result, the Thrift Plan of Phillips Petroleum Company, the Thrift
Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc., and the Thrift Plan for Retail Employees of
Conoco Inc. are no longer in existence.
For purposes of registering additional shares of Common Stock for issuance
pursuant to (i) the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan; (ii) the ConocoPhillips Store
Savings Plan; and (iii) the Retirement Savings Plan of ConocoPhillips Company,
we hereby incorporate by reference into this registration statement the

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Exchange Act of 1934 by ConocoPhillips are incorporated in this Registration
Statement by reference and shall be deemed to be a part hereof:
(1) ConocoPhillips' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2004;
(2) ConocoPhillips' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended March 31, 2004, as filed with the SEC on May 7, 2004; and

associated rights to purchase ConocoPhillips preferred stock) contained

All documents filed by ConocoPhillips with the SEC pursuant to Sections

reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so
modified or superseded shall 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.
The legality of the issuance of the Common Stock being registered has been
passed upon for the Registrant by Wayne C. Byers, Esq., Senior Counsel of the
Registrant. Mr. Byers is regularly employed by the Registrant, participates in
various employee benefit plans of the Registrant under which he may receive
shares of Common Stock, restricted stock units or options to purchase shares of
Common Stock, and currently beneficially owns less than 1% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt a provision in its certificate
of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director,
but not an officer in his or her capacity as such, to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except that such provision shall not limit the liability of a director for (1)
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) liability under
section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law for unlawful payment of
dividends or stock purchases or redemptions, or (4) any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit. ConocoPhillips' restated
certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent of Delaware
law, no
Table of Contents
ConocoPhillips director shall be liable to ConocoPhillips or
ConocoPhillips stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director.
Under Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any individual made a
party or threatened to be made a party to any type of proceeding, other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation, because he or she is or was an
officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the
request of the corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of
another corporation or entity against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such
proceeding: (1) 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; or (2) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he or she had no
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. A
corporation may indemnify any individual made a party or threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit brought by or in
the right of the corporation because he or she was an officer, director,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or other entity, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
in connection with such action or suit 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, provided that such indemnification will be denied
if the individual is found liable to the corporation unless, in such a case,
the court determines the person is nonetheless entitled to indemnification for
such expenses. A corporation must indemnify a present or former director or
officer who successfully defends himself or herself in a proceeding to which he
or she was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the
corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her.
Expenses incurred by an officer or director, or any employees or agents as
deemed appropriate by the board of directors, in defending civil or criminal
proceedings may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition
of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation. The Delaware law regarding indemnification and expense
advancement is not exclusive of any other rights which may be granted by
ConocoPhillips' restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, agreement or otherwise.
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, termination of any proceeding
by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that such person is prohibited from being
indemnified.
ConocoPhillips' bylaws provide for the indemnification and advancement of
expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law of any individual made, or
threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she
is or was a director or officer of ConocoPhillips or is or was a director or
officer of ConocoPhillips serving as an officer, director, employee or agent of
any other enterprise at the request of ConocoPhillips. However, ConocoPhillips
will not indemnify a director or officer who commences any proceeding (except
for proceedings to enforce rights of indemnification), unless the commencement
of that proceeding was authorized or consented to by ConocoPhillips' board of
directors.

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(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) of the Securities Act
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the
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 or Form S-8, 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 Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
Table of Contents
(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 therein,
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 the 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 pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the 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
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 whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
