<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PDC&#146;s <B>bylaws </B>contain provisions providing that PDC shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of PDC, or is or was serving at the
request of PDC as a director, officer, employee, or other agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with that proceeding,
if that person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in the
best interests of PDC, and in actions by PDC with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an
ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances, and, in the
case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of that person was
unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that any director, officer, employee or other agent of PDC has been successful
on the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in the bylaws, that person shall be
indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with
that proceeding. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any indemnification may be made by
PDC only if authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, officer, employee or other agent is proper in the circumstances because that person has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the bylaws by (a)&nbsp;a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding; (b)&nbsp;approval by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares of PDC represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum
is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required
quorum); or (c)&nbsp;the court in which the proceeding is or was pending, upon application made by PDC
or the subject person or the attorney or other person rendering the services in connection with the
defense, whether or not the application by the subject person, attorney or other person is opposed
by PDC.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by PDC before the final
disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director,
officer, employee or other agent of PDC to repay the amount of the advance unless it shall be
determined ultimately that the subject person is entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the
bylaws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PDC&#146;s <B>Articles of Incorporation </B>provide that no director or officer of PDC shall be personally
liable to PDC or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
or officer, except for liability for (i)&nbsp;an act or omission that involves intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of the law; (ii)&nbsp;an act or omission for which the liability of a
director or officer is expressly provided for by an applicable statute, including the liability for
payment of distributions in violation of Section&nbsp;78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes; and (iii)
any other act, omission, transaction or breach of duty as to which any applicable statute, rule or
regulation provides that the liability of directors or officers may not be eliminated or limited.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the note to Part I of Form S-8, the document containing the information specified

Registration Statement, but will be sent or given to participants as specified by Rule 428(b)(1).
PART II — INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents and portions of documents filed by Petroleum Development Corporation

PDC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2009;
(b)
PDC's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 2010;
(c)
PDC's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on March 18, 2010, April 23, 2010,
May 4, 2010, and June 10, 2010, and
(d)
The description of PDC's Common Stock as set forth under the
caption "Description of Capital Stock" presented on page 12 in the prospectus
portion of PDC's Form S-3 Registration Statement, SEC File No. 333-155745,
filed with the Commission on November 26, 2008 and on pages 12-13 of PDC's SEC
Rule 424(b)(5) prospectus dated January 30, 2009, filed with the Commission on
or about August 12, 2009.
PDC additionally incorporates by reference herein all documents subsequently filed by PDC
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all the securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, and deems such documents
to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be part of this
Registration Statement from the dates of filing such documents. Copies of these documents will not
be filed with this Registration Statement. Any statement contained herein or in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that such statement is
modified or superseded by a subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. Any such statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Registration Statement except as so
modified or superseded.
Item 4 — Description of Securities
This Item is omitted because PDC's Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange
Act.
Item 5 — Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Members of Duane Morris LLP, counsel for PDC, own shares of PDC common stock. The fair market
value of this stock ownership is less than $50,000. Under the regulations of the Commission, Duane
Morris LLP is not deemed to have a substantial interest in PDC.
Item 6 — Indemnification of Directors and Officers
II-1
Table of Contents
PDC's
bylaws
contain provisions providing that PDC shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of PDC, or is or was serving at the
request of PDC as a director, officer, employee, or other agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with that proceeding,
if that person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in the
best interests of PDC, and in actions by PDC with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an
ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances, and, in the
case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of that person was
unlawful.
To the extent that any director, officer, employee or other agent of PDC has been successful
on the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in the bylaws, that person shall be
indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with
that proceeding. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any indemnification may be made by
PDC only if authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, officer, employee or other agent is proper in the circumstances because that person has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the bylaws by (a) a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding; (b) approval by the affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares of PDC represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum
is present (which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at least a majority of the required
quorum); or (c) the court in which the proceeding is or was pending, upon application made by PDC
or the subject person or the attorney or other person rendering the services in connection with the
defense, whether or not the application by the subject person, attorney or other person is opposed
by PDC.
Expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by PDC before the final
disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director,
officer, employee or other agent of PDC to repay the amount of the advance unless it shall be
determined ultimately that the subject person is entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the
bylaws.
PDC's
Articles of Incorporation
provide that no director or officer of PDC shall be personally
liable to PDC or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
or officer, except for liability for (i) an act or omission that involves intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of the law; (ii) an act or omission for which the liability of a
director or officer is expressly provided for by an applicable statute, including the liability for
payment of distributions in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes; and (iii)
any other act, omission, transaction or breach of duty as to which any applicable statute, rule or
regulation provides that the liability of directors or officers may not be eliminated or limited.
Item 7 — Exemption from Registration Claimed
This Item is omitted because it is not applicable.
Item 8 — Exhibits
The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index included elsewhere
herein.
Item 9 — Undertakings
II-2
Table of Contents
Rule 415 Offering
The undersigned 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;
(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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if 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 section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, 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.
Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) 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.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
