                                              Effective as of September 24, 1999

                          VOID AFTER SEPTEMBER 24, 2004

         THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, VFT Special Ventures LTD, with
its principal office at Parkview Tower, 1150 1st Ave, Suite 600, King of
Prussia, PA 19406, or its assigns (the "Holder"), is entitled to subscribe for
and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from BOLDER Technologies
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 4403 Table
Mountain Drive, Golden, Colorado 80403 (the "Company") up to one hundred and
ninety five thousand (195,000) shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the
"Common Stock").

         1.       DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have
the following respective meanings:

                  (a)      "EXERCISE PERIOD" shall mean the period commencing
with the date hereof and ending five years from the date hereof, unless sooner
terminated as provided below.

                  (b)      "EXERCISE PRICE" shall mean $8.00 per share, subject
to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.

                  (c)      "EXERCISE SHARES" shall mean the shares of the
Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

         2.       EXERCISE OF WARRANT. The rights represented by this Warrant
may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by
delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at
such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):

                  (i)      An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached
hereto;

                  (ii)     Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or
by check, or (ii) by cancellation of indebtedness; and

                  (iii)    This Warrant.

                                      A-1

<PAGE>   2

         Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a
certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in
the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so
designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time
after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised.

         The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise
Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have
become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was
surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date
of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of
such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the
Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of
such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are open.

         3.       COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

                  (a)      COVENANTS AS TO EXERCISE SHARES. The Company
covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be
validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company
further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the
Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a
sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of
the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise
Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be
sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient for such purposes.

                  (b)      NO IMPAIRMENT. Except and to the extent as waived or
consented to by the Holder, the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles
of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

                  (c)      NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of any taking by
the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in
previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder,
at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying
the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend or distribution.

         4.       REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.

                  (a)      ACQUISITION OF WARRANT FOR PERSONAL ACCOUNT;
ACCREDITED INVESTOR. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the
Warrant solely for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale
or distribution of said Warrant or any part thereof. The Holder also represents
that the entire legal and beneficial interests of the Warrant and Exercise
Shares the Holder is acquiring is being acquired for, and will be held for, its
account only. The Holder further represents that it has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risk of its investment in the Warrant. The Holder is an
"accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

                  (b)      SECURITIES ARE NOT REGISTERED.

                           (i)      The Holder understands that the Warrant and
the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Act on the basis that no
distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected.
The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if,
notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of
acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future,
selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no
such present intention.

                           (ii)     The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and
the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant
or the Exercise Shares of the Company, or to comply with any exemption from such
registration.

                           (iii)    The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant
nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act
unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence
of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public
information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period
under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period
not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for
resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company
presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.

                  (c)      DISPOSITION OF WARRANT AND EXERCISE SHARES.

                           (i)      The Holder further agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event
unless and until:

                                    (1)      The Company shall have received a
letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the
proposed disposition; or

                                      A-3

<PAGE>   4

                                    (2)      There is then in effect a
registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such
disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or

                                    (3)      The Holder shall have notified the
Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a
detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition,
and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the
Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for
the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of
such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities
laws.

                           (ii)     The Holder understands and agrees that all
certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the
following legend:

                           THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
                           SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THEY
                           MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR
                           HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
                           REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE
                           ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE
                           COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                           (iii)    The Holder hereby agrees not to sell or
otherwise transfer or dispose of all or any part of this Warrant or the Exercise
Shares during a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of
Common Stock (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) following the
effective date of the registration statement of the Company filed under the Act.
Holder further agrees that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions
with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end
of such period.

         5.       ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. In the event of changes in the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups,
recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares,
separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of
shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall
be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for
the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares
as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event
and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring
adjustment; provided, however, that such adjustment shall not be made with
respect to, and this Warrant shall terminate if not exercised prior to, the
events set forth in Section 7 below. The form of this Warrant need not be
changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to
this Warrant.

         6.       FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto.
All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result
in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation,

                                      A-4

<PAGE>   5

the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company
shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise
entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from
multiplying the then current Per Share Market Value of an Exercise Share by such
fraction.

         7.       EARLY TERMINATION. In the event of, at any time during the
Exercise Period, any capital reorganization, or any reclassification of the
capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value
to no par value or no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend
or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or
merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger
solely to effect a reincorporation of the Company into another state), or the
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets
of the Company in its entirety to any other person, the Company shall provide to
the Holder twenty (20) days advance written notice of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale or other disposition of the
Company's assets, and this Warrant shall terminate unless exercised prior to the
occurrence of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or
sale or other disposition of the Company's assets.

         8.       COMPANY CALL RIGHT. This Warrant may be called in whole or in
part at the option of the Company from time to time by delivering written notice
to the Holder as long as (a) the Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock has
exceeded $15.00 within five (5) business days of the delivery of such written
notice, and (b) the Company has a sufficient number of authorized shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance upon full exercise of the outstanding
Warrant. The Warrant will expire unless exercised by the Holder within thirty
(30) days of the delivery to the Holder of the written call notice. For purposes
of this Warrant, "Per Share Market Value" of Common Stock means on any
particular date (a) the last reported sale price of Common Stock on The NASDAQ
National Market, or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations
of securities prices then in common use, if so quoted, or (b) if not quoted as
described in clause (a), the mean between the high bid and low asked quotations
for Common Stock as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated if at
least two securities dealers have inserted both bid and asked quotations for the
Common Stock on at least 5 of the ten preceding days, or (c) if there is no
public market for the Common Stock, the value determined by mutual agreement of
the Company and the Holder, and if the Company and the Holder are unable to so
agree, by an investment banker of national reputation selected by the Holder and
reasonably acceptable to the Company.

         9.       NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not
entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the
Company.

         10.      TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws, the
restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this
Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by
duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of
assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The
transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to
the Company.

                                      A-5

<PAGE>   6

         11.      LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant
is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to
indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of
a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like
denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed
Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

         12.      NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent by telex, telegram,
express mail or other form of rapid communications, if possible, and if not then
such notice or communication shall be mailed by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed in each case to the party entitled thereto at the addresses
set forth on the cover page of this Warrant, or at such other address as one
party may furnish to the other in writing. Notice shall be deemed effective on
the date dispatched if by personal delivery, telecopy, telex or telegram, two
days after mailing if by express mail, or three days after mailing if by
first-class mail.

         13.      ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall
constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions
contained herein.

         14.      GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and
liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado.

24, 1999.

such registration is not required.

(hereinafter called the "Supplemental Indenture"), is between KERR-McGEE

                                    The DECS

                  Section 2.01 Title and Terms.

                  There is hereby created under the Indenture a series of
Securities known and designated as the "5 1/2% Exchangeable Notes Due August 2,
2004" of the Company. The aggregate principal amount of DECS that may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to $330,348,375
million, except for DECS authenticated and delivered upon reregistration of,
transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other DECS pursuant to Section
305, 306, 307, 904 and 1103 of the Indenture.

                  The Stated Maturity for payment of principal of the DECS shall
be August 2, 2004 and the DECS shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months) at the rate of 5 1/2% of the principal
amount per annum, from the date of original issuance or the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the
principal amount thereof is exchanged at maturity pursuant to the terms of the
DECS. Interest on the DECS shall be payable quarterly in arrears on February 1,
May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing November 1, 1999 (each,

                                                                               8

available for payment provided that interest payable at Maturity shall be
payable to the person to whom the Devon Common Stock is deliverable.

                  The DECS shall be initially issued in the form of a Global
Security and the Depositary for the DECS shall be the Depository Trust Company,
New York, New York.

                  The DECS shall not be redeemable prior to their Stated
Maturity and shall not be subject to any sinking fund. The DECS are not subject
to payment prior to the date of Maturity at the option of the Holder.

                  The DECS shall be mandatorily exchangeable as provided in
Section 2.02.

                  The Company shall not be obligated to pay any additional
amounts on the DECS in respect of taxes, except as otherwise provided in Section
2.06 and 3.01.

                  The DECS shall be issuable in denominations of $1000 and any
amounts in excess thereof.

                  The DECS shall not be issued as Original Issue Discount
Securities.

                  The form of DECS attached hereto as Exhibit A is hereby
adopted, as a form of Securities of a series that consists of DECS. Certain
terms of the DECS are set forth in the form of the DECS.

                  With respect to the DECS only and for the benefit of only the
Holders thereof, the failure on the part of the Company to observe or perform
any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company in this Second
Supplemental Indenture not otherwise specified in Section 501 of the Indenture
shall be an additional Event of Default with respect to the DECS as if and, for
all purposes under the Indenture, to the same extent as if the same were
specified in paragraph (d) of such Section 501 of the Indenture.

                  Section 2.02. Exchange at Maturity.

                  Subject to Section 2.04(b), at Maturity the principal amount
of each DECS shall be mandatorily exchanged by the Company into a number of
shares of Devon Common Stock at the Exchange Rate; provided, however, that,
pursuant to Section 2.03, no fraction of a share of Devon Common Stock shall be
issued. The Holders of the DECS shall be responsible for the payment of any and
all brokerage costs upon the subsequent sale of such shares. The Company may, at
its option, in lieu of delivering Devon Common Stock, deliver cash in an amount
(calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a dollar per DECS or, if there is not a
nearest 1/100th of a dollar, then to the next higher 1/100th of a dollar) equal
to the product of the number of shares of Devon Common Stock otherwise
deliverable in respect of such DECS on the date of Maturity, multiplied by the
Maturity Price; provided, however, that if such option is exercised,

<PAGE>   10
                                                                               9

the Company shall deliver cash with respect to all, but not less than all, of
the Devon Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable. In determining the
amount of cash deliverable in exchange for the DECS in lieu of Devon Common
Stock pursuant to the prior sentence hereof, if more than one DECS shall be
surrendered for exchange at one time by the same Holder, the amount of cash
which shall be delivered upon exchange shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate number of DECS so surrendered at Maturity.

                  Section 2.03. No Fractional Shares.

                  If more than one DECS shall be surrendered for exchange
pursuant to Section 2.02 at one time by the same Holder, the number of full
shares of Devon Common Stock or Reported Securities which shall be delivered
upon such exchange, in whole or in part, as the case may be, shall be computed
on the basis of the aggregate number of DECS surrendered at Maturity. No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Devon Common Stock
or Reported Securities shall be issued or delivered upon any exchange pursuant
to Section 2.02 of any DECS. In lieu of any fractional share of Devon Common
Stock or of Reported Securities which, but for the immediately preceding
sentence, would otherwise be deliverable upon such exchange, the Company,
through any applicable Paying Agent, shall make a cash payment in respect of
such fractional interest in an amount equal to the value of such fractional
share of Devon Common Stock or Reported Security at the Maturity Price. The
Company shall, upon such exchange of any DECS, provide cash to any applicable
Paying Agent in an amount equal to the cash payable with respect to any
fractional shares of Devon Common Stock deliverable upon such exchange, and the
Company shall retain such fractional shares of Devon Common Stock.

                  Section 2.04. Adjustment of Exchange Rate.

                  (a) Adjustment for Distributions, Reclassifications, etc. The
Exchange Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                      (i) If Devon shall:

                           (A) pay a stock dividend or make a distribution, in
                  either case, with respect to the Devon Common Stock in shares
                  of such stock;

                           (B) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of
                  Devon Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

                           (C) combine the outstanding shares of Devon Common
                  Stock into a smaller number of shares; or

                           (D) issue by reclassification (other than a
                  reclassification pursuant to clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v)
                  of the definition of Adjustment Event in paragraph (b)

                                                                              10

                  of this Section) of shares of Devon Common Stock any shares of
                  common stock of Devon;

                  then, in any such event, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted
                  by adjusting each of the Share Components of the Exchange Rate
                  in effect immediately prior to such event so that a holder of
                  any DECS shall be entitled to receive, upon exchange pursuant
                  to Section 2.02 of the principal amount of such DECS at
                  Maturity, the number of shares of Devon Common Stock (or, in
                  the case of a reclassification referred to in clause (D) of
                  this sentence, the number of shares of other common stock of
                  Devon issued pursuant thereto) which such holder of such DECS
                  would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately
                  following such event had such DECS been exchanged immediately
                  prior to such event or any record date with respect thereto.
                  Each such adjustment shall become effective at the opening of
                  business on the Business Day next following the record date
                  for determination of holders of Devon Common Stock entitled to
                  receive such dividend or distribution in the case of a
                  dividend or distribution and shall become effective
                  immediately after the effective date in the case of a
                  subdivision, split, combination or reclassification. Each such
                  adjustment shall be made successively.

                      (ii) If Devon shall, after the date hereof, issue rights
           or warrants to all holders of Devon Common Stock entitling them to
           subscribe for or purchase shares of Devon Common Stock (other than
           rights to purchase Devon Common Stock pursuant to a plan for the
           reinvestment of dividends) at a price per share less than the Market
           Price of the Devon Common Stock on the Business Day next following
           the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Devon
           Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants, then in
           each case, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying each of
           the Share Components of the Exchange Rate in effect on the record
           date for the determination of holders of Devon Common Stock entitled
           to receive such rights or warrants, by a fraction, of which the
           numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Devon Common Stock
           outstanding on such record date plus (B) the number of additional
           shares of Devon Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase
           pursuant to such rights or warrants, and of which the denominator
           shall be (x) the number of shares of Devon Common Stock outstanding
           on such record date plus (y) the number of additional shares of Devon
           Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number
           of shares of Devon Common Stock so offered for subscription or
           purchase pursuant to such rights or warrants would purchase at the
           Market Price of the Devon Common Stock on the Business Day next
           following such record date, which number of additional shares shall
           be determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the
           exercise price of such rights or warrants and dividing the product so
           obtained by such Market Price of Devon Common Stock. Such adjustment
           shall become effective at the opening of business on the Business Day
           next following the record date for the determination of holders of
           Devon Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To
           the

<PAGE>   12
                                                                              11

           extent that such rights or warrants expire prior to the Maturity of
           the DECS and shares of Devon Common Stock are not delivered pursuant
           to such rights or warrants prior to such expiration, the Exchange
           Rate shall be readjusted to the Exchange Rate which would then be in
           effect had such adjustments for the issuance of such rights or
           warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of
           shares of Devon Common Stock actually delivered pursuant to such
           rights or warrants. Each such adjustment shall be made successively.

                      (iii) Any shares of Devon Common Stock issuable in payment
           of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior
           to the close of business on the record date for such dividend for
           purposes of calculating the number of outstanding shares of Devon
           Common Stock under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section.

                      (iv) All adjustments to the Exchange Rate will be
           calculated to the nearest 1/100,000th of a share of Devon Common
           Stock (or, if there is not a nearest 1/100,000th of a share of Devon
           Common Stock, to the next lower 1/100,000th of a share of Devon
           Common Stock). No adjustment in the Exchange Rate shall be required
           unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
           least one percent therein; provided, however, that any adjustments
           which by reason of this paragraph (a)(iv) are not required to be made
           shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
           adjustment. If an adjustment is made to the Exchange Rate pursuant to
           paragraphs (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this Section, an adjustment shall
           also be made to the Maturity Price as such term is used throughout
           the definition of Exchange Rate set forth in Section 1.01. The
           required adjustment to the Maturity Price shall be made at Maturity
           by multiplying the original Maturity Price by the number or fraction
           determined under paragraphs (a)(i) and/or (a)(ii) of this Section by
           which the original Exchange Rate was multiplied to adjust such rate.
           In the case of a reclassification of any shares of Devon Common Stock
           into any common stock of Devon other than Devon Common Stock, such
           common stock shall be deemed to be shares of Devon Common Stock
           solely to determine the Maturity Price and to apply the Exchange Rate
           at Maturity. Each such adjustment to the Exchange Rate and the
           Maturity Price shall be made successively.

                  (b) Other Adjustment Events. In the event of (i) any dividend
or distribution by Devon to all holders of Devon Common Stock of evidences of
its indebtedness or other assets (excluding any dividends or distributions
referred to in clause (A) of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section, any common shares
issued pursuant to a reclassification referred to in clause (D) of paragraph
(a)(i) of this Section and any Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below)) or
any issuance by Devon to all holders of Devon Common Stock of rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any of its Securities (other than rights or
warrants referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section), (ii) any
consolidation or merger of Devon or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving
entity of Devon (a "Devon Successor") with or into another entity (other than a
merger or consolidation in which Devon is the continuing corporation and in
which the Devon Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or
consolidation is not exchanged for cash,

<PAGE>   13
                                                                              12

securities or other property of Devon or another corporation), (iii) any sale,
transfer, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of Devon or
any Devon Successor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, (iv) any
statutory exchange of securities of Devon or any Devon Successor with another
corporation (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition) or (v) any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Devon or any Devon Successor (any such
event, an "Adjustment Event"), the property receivable by Holders of DECS at
Maturity shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                  (1) Each Holder of a DECS will receive at Maturity, in lieu of
         or (in the case of an Adjustment Event described in clause (i) of this
         paragraph (b)) in addition to, the shares of Devon Common Stock that it
         would otherwise receive as required by Section 2.02, cash in an amount
         equal to (A) if the Maturity Price is greater than or equal to the
         Threshold Appreciation Price, 0.84746 multiplied by the Transaction
         Value, (B) if the Maturity Price is less than the Threshold
         Appreciation Price but is greater than the Initial Price, the product
         of (x) the Initial Price divided by the Maturity Price multiplied by
         (y) the Transaction Value and (C) if the Maturity Price is less than or
         equal to the Initial Price, the Transaction Value.

                  (2) Following an Adjustment Event, the Maturity Price, as such
         term is used in subparagraph (b)(1) above and throughout the definition
         of Exchange Rate, shall be deemed to equal (A) if shares of Devon
         Common Stock are outstanding at Maturity, subject to clause (B) below,
         the Maturity Price of Devon Common Stock, as adjusted pursuant to the
         provisions of paragraph (a)(iv) of this Section, plus the Transaction
         Value or (B) if shares of Devon Common Stock are not outstanding at
         maturity (or if the Devon Common Stock, as a result of an Adjustment
         Event, is not (i) listed on a United States national securities
         exchange, (ii) reported on a United States national securities system
         subject to last sale reporting or (iii) traded in the over-the-counter
         market and reported on the National Quotation Bureau or similar
         organization, and for which bid and ask prices are not available from
         at least three nationally recognized investment banking firms), the
         Transaction Value.

                  (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
         securities received in an Adjustment Event that (A) are (i) listed on a
         United States national securities exchange, (ii) reported on a United
         States national securities system subject to last sale reporting, (iii)
         traded in the over-the-counter market and reported on the National
         Quotation Bureau or similar organization or (iv) for which bid and ask
         prices are available from at least three nationally recognized
         investment banking firms and (B) are either (x) perpetual equity
         securities or (y) non-perpetual equity or debt securities with a stated
         maturity after the Stated Maturity ("Reported Securities"), the Company
         may, at its option, in lieu of delivering the amount of cash
         deliverable in respect of Reported Securities received in an Adjustment
         Event, as determined in accordance with subparagraph (b)(1), deliver a
         number of such Reported Securities with a value equal to such cash
         amount, as determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition
         of Transaction Value set forth

<PAGE>   14
                                                                              13

         in Section 1.01; provided, however, that (i) if such option is
         exercised, the Company shall deliver Reported Securities in respect of
         all, but not less than all, cash amounts that would otherwise be
         deliverable in respect of Reported Securities received in an Adjustment
         Event, (ii) the Company may not exercise such option if the Company has
         elected to deliver cash in lieu of Devon Common Stock, if any,
         deliverable upon Maturity or if such Reported Securities have not yet
         been delivered to the holders entitled thereto following such
         Adjustment Event or any record date with respect thereto, and (iii)
         subject to clause (ii) of this proviso, the Company must exercise such
         option if the Company does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of Devon
         Common Stock, if any, deliverable upon Maturity. If the Company elects
         to deliver Reported Securities, each Holder of a DECS will be
         responsible for the payment of any and all brokerage and other
         transaction costs upon the sale of such Reported Securities. If,
         following any Adjustment Event, any Reported Security ceases to qualify
         as a Reported Security, then (x) the Company may no longer elect to
         deliver such Reported Security in lieu of an equivalent amount of cash
         and (y) notwithstanding clause (b) of the definition of Transaction
         Value, the Transaction Value of such Reported Security shall mean the
         fair market value of such Reported Security on the date such security
         ceases to qualify as a Reported Security, as determined by a nationally
         recognized investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the
         Company.

                  (4) The amount of cash and/or the kind and number of
         securities into which the DECS shall be exchangeable after an
         Adjustment Event shall be subject to adjustment following such
         Adjustment Event in the same manner and upon the occurrence of the same
         type of events as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
         with respect to Devon Common Stock and Devon.

                  (5) For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Ordinary Cash
         Dividend" means, with respect to any consecutive 365-day period, any
         dividend with respect to Devon Common Stock paid in cash to the extent
         that the amount of such dividend, together with the aggregate amount of
         all other dividends on Devon Common Stock paid in cash during such
         365-day period, does not exceed on a per-share basis 10% of the average
         of the Closing Prices of Devon Common Stock over such 365-day period.
         For purposes of this subparagraph (b)(5), any cash dividend shall be
         deemed to be paid as of the record date for such cash dividend.

                  Section 2.05. Notice of Adjustment and Certain Other Events.

                  (a) Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted as herein provided
or an Adjustment Event occurs, the Company shall:

                      (i) forthwith compute the adjusted Exchange Rate (or
           Transaction Value) in accordance with Section 2.04 and prepare a
           certificate signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the
           adjusted Exchange Rate (or Transaction Value), the method of

<PAGE>   15
                                                                              14

           calculation thereof in reasonable detail and the facts requiring such
           adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based, which certificate
           shall be conclusive, final and binding evidence of the correctness of
           the adjustment, and file such certificate forthwith with the Trustee;
           and

                      (ii) within ten Business Days following the occurrence of
           an event that permits or requires an adjustment to the Exchange Rate
           pursuant to Section 2.04(a) (each, a "Dilution Event") or an
           Adjustment Event that permits or requires a change in the
           consideration to be received by Holders pursuant to Section 2.04(b)
           (or, in either case, if the Company is not aware of such occurrence,
           as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), provide written
           notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of the outstanding DECS of
           the occurrence of such Dilution Event or Adjustment Event including a
           statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which any
           adjustment to the Exchange Rate or change in the consideration to be
           received by Holders of DECS following the Adjustment Event was
           determined and setting forth the revised Exchange Rate or
           consideration, as the case may be; provided, however, that in respect
           of any adjustment of the Maturity Price, such notice need only
           disclose the factor by which the Maturity Price is to be multiplied
           pursuant to Section 2.04(a)(iv) in order to determine which clause of
           the definition of the Exchange Rate will apply at Maturity, it being
           understood that, until Maturity, the Exchange Rate itself cannot be
           determined.

                  (b) In case at any time while any of the DECS are outstanding
the Company becomes aware that:

                      (i) Devon will declare a dividend (or any other
           distribution) on or in respect of the Devon Common Stock to which
           Section 2.04(a)(i) or (ii) shall apply (other than any cash dividends
           and distributions, if any, paid from time to time by Devon that
           constitute Ordinary Cash Dividends);

                      (ii) Devon will authorize the issuance to all holders of
           Devon Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
           shares of Devon Common Stock or of any other subscription rights or
           warrants;

                      (iii) there will occur any conversion or reclassification
           of Devon Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of
           outstanding shares of such Devon Common Stock) or any consolidation,
           merger or reorganization to which Devon is a party and for which
           approval of any stockholders of Devon is required, or the sale or
           transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Devon; or

                      (iv) there will occur the voluntary or involuntary
           dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Devon;

<PAGE>   16
                                                                              15

         then, if the Company becomes aware of the information described in
         clause (x) and (y) below (other than the proposed merger between Devon
         Delaware and PennzEnergy Corp. for the terms disclosed on the date
         hereof) a reasonable amount of time in advance of the delivery and
         filing requirements set forth in this subparagraph (b), the Company
         shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee and any applicable Paying
         Agent and filed at the office or agency maintained for the purpose of
         exchange of DECS at Maturity in the Borough of Manhattan, in The City
         of New York by the Trustee (or any applicable Paying Agent), and shall
         promptly cause to be mailed to the Holders of DECS at their last
         addresses as they shall appear upon the registration books of the
         Security Registrar, at least ten days before the date hereinafter
         specified (or the earlier of the dates hereinafter specified, in the
         event that more than one is specified), a notice stating (x) the date
         on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
         distribution or grant of rights or warrants or, if a record is not to
         be taken, the date as of which holders of Devon Common Stock of record
         to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or grant of rights or
         warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date, if known by the
         Company, on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
         transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become
         effective. Following any Adjustment Event, the provisions of this
         paragraph (b) shall apply with respect to any Reported Securities in
         the same manner as with respect to Devon and the Devon Common Stock.

                  (c) On or prior to the twenty-first Business Day preceding the
Stated Maturity of the DECS, the Company shall notify the Trustee and will
publish a notice in a daily newspaper of national circulation stating whether
the Company will deliver, in accordance with Section 2.02, shares of Devon
Common Stock or cash (and/or, in accordance with Section 2.04(b), cash or
Reported Securities) upon the mandatory exchange of the principal amount of the
DECS. The Trustee shall notify DTC of the form of consideration to be delivered
by the Company. After the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Stated Maturity of the DECS, the Company shall notify the Trustee
in writing of the number of shares of Devon Common Stock and/or Reported
Securities, or the amount of cash to be paid per DECS.

                  Section 2.06. Taxes.

                  (a) The Company will pay any and all documentary, stamp,
transfer or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the transfer and
delivery of Devon Common Stock (or Reported Securities) pursuant hereto;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any such tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the delivery of
Devon Common Stock (or Reported Securities) in a name other than that in which
the DECS so exchanged were registered, and no such transfer or delivery shall be
made unless and until the person requesting such transfer has paid to the
Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of
the Company, that such tax has been paid.

                  (b) The parties hereto hereby agree, and each Holder of a DECS
by its purchase of a DECS hereby agrees:

<PAGE>   17
                                                                              16

                      (i) to treat, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, each
           DECS as a forward purchase contract to purchase Devon Common Stock at
           Maturity (including as a result of acceleration or otherwise) (the
           "forward purchase contract characterization"), under the terms of
           which contract (a) at the time of issuance of the DECS the Holder
           deposits irrevocably with the Company a fixed amount of cash equal to
           the purchase price of the DECS to assure the fulfillment of the
           Holder's purchase obligation described in clause (c) below, which
           deposit will unconditionally and irrevocably be applied at Maturity
           to satisfy such obligation, (b) until Maturity the Company will be
           obligated to pay interest on such deposit at a rate equal to the
           stated rate of interest on the DECS as compensation to the Holder for
           the Company's use of such cash deposit during the term of the DECS,
           and (c) at Maturity such cash deposit unconditionally and irrevocably
           will be applied by the Company in full satisfaction of the Holder's
           obligation under the forward purchase contract, and the Company will
           deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Devon Common Stock that
           the Holder is entitled to receive at the time pursuant to the terms
           of the DECS (subject to the Company's right to deliver cash in lieu
           of the shares of Devon Common Stock);

                      (ii) to treat, consistent with the above characterization,
           (x) amounts paid to the Company in respect of the original issue of a
           DECS as allocable in their entirety to the amount of the cash deposit
           attributable to such DECS, and (y) amounts denominated as interest
           that are payable with respect to the DECS as interest payable on the
           amount of such deposit, includible annually in the income of the
           Holder as interest income in accordance with its method of
           accounting; and

                      (iii) to file all U.S. federal, state and local income and
           franchise tax returns consistent with the forward purchase contract
           characterization (unless required otherwise by an applicable taxing
           authority).

                  Section 2.07. Delivery of Securities upon Maturity.

                  All Devon Common Stock and Reported Securities deliverable to
Holders upon the Maturity of the DECS shall be delivered to such Holders,
whenever practicable, in such manner (such as by book-entry transfer) so as to
assure same-day transfer of such securities to Holders and otherwise in the
manner customary at such time for delivery of such securities and securities of
the same type.

                  With respect to the DECS only and for the benefit of only the
Holders thereof, the Company covenants and warrants that upon exchange of a DECS
at Maturity pursuant to the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, the
Holder of a DECS shall receive valid title to the Devon Common Stock (and, in
the event an Adjustment Event has occurred, the Reported Securities, if Reported
Securities are delivered) for which such DECS is at such time exchangeable
pursuant to this Indenture, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, charges
and encumbrances whatsoever, except to the extent such liens, claims, charges
and encumbrances as may have been placed on any Devon Energy Common Stock by the
prior owner thereof, prior to the time such Devon Energy Common Stock was
acquired by the Company, or are caused by the Holders. In addition, the Company
further warrants that any Devon Common Stock (and Reported Securities) so
delivered in exchange for DECS hereunder shall be free of any transfer
restrictions (other than such as are solely attributable to any Holder's status
as an affiliate of Devon or the issuer of such Reported Securities). Except as
provided in Section 2.06(a), the Company shall pay all taxes and charges with
respect to the delivery of Devon Common Stock (and Reported Securities)
delivered in exchange for DECS hereunder. Until such time, if any, as the
Company shall deliver shares of Devon Common Stock to Holders of the DECS at
Maturity, the Holders shall not be entitled to any rights with respect to the
Devon Common Stock (including, without limitation, voting rights and the rights
to receive any dividends or other distributions in respect thereof.

                  Section 3.02 Discharge of Indenture.

                  With respect to the DECS only and for the benefit of only the
Holders thereof, Article Four of the Indenture is amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

          (a) If at any time (i) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
         for cancellation all of the DECS theretofore authenticated and
         delivered (other than (1) any DECS which shall have been destroyed,
         lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided
         in Section 306 and (2) DECS for whose payment money has theretofore
         been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company as
         provided in Section 1003) or (ii) all DECS not theretofore delivered to
         the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, and the
         Company shall deposit with the Trustee in trust the number of shares of
         Devon Energy Common Stock (and/or Reported Securities) or the entire
         amount of money in Dollars sufficient to pay all DECS not theretofore
         delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and
         interest due, in accordance with the terms of such DECS, and if in
         either case the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other
         the sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Second
         Supplemental Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as
         to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such
         DECS herein expressly provided for and rights to receive payments of
         principal of, and interest on, the DECS with respect to the DECS), and
         the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and

                                                                              18

         at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper
         instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this
         Indenture.

by reason of this Supplemental Indenture other than as set forth in the

                  Each reference in the Indenture to the payment by the Company

purposes of the DECS only, to mean the delivery of the Devon Common Stock (or,
at the Company's option, the cash equivalent thereof) at the time, rate and
manner set forth herein.

                                  ------------

                  This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of

          (Subject to Exchange at Maturity into Shares of Common Stock,
             Par Value $.10 Per Share, of Devon Energy Corporation)

                  KERR-McGEE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter
called the "Company", which term includes any successor corporation under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay
to CEDE & CO. or registered assigns, on August 2, 2004 a number of shares of
Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Devon Common Stock"), of Devon
Energy Corporation ("Devon") (or, at the Company's option, the cash equivalent
thereof and/or such other consideration as permitted or required by the terms of
the DECS) at the Exchange Rate (as defined herein), and to pay interest
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) on such
principal amount from the date of original issuance or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each
year (each, an "Interest Payment Date" and, collectively, the "Interest Payment
Dates"),

<PAGE>   25
                                                                               2

commencing November 1, 1999, at the rate per annum specified in the title of
this note, until Maturity. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in said Indenture,
be paid to the person in whose name this DECS (or the DECS in exchange or
substitution for which this DECS was issued) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date (as defined below) for interest payable on
such Interest Payment Date. The "Regular Record Date" for any interest payment
is the close of business on the January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15
immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, whether or not a
Business Day (as defined below), provided that interest payable at Maturity
shall be payable to the person to whom the Devon Common Stock is deliverable. In
any case where such Interest Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of said Indenture or this DECS) payment of
such interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such
Interest Payment Date, and, if such payment is so made, no interest shall accrue
for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not
so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to
the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the person
in whose name this DECS (or the DECS in exchange or substitution for which this
DECS was issued) is registered at the close of business on a record date for the
payment of such interest to be fixed by the Trustee for the DECS, notice whereof
shall be given to Holders of the DECS not less than ten days prior to such
record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the DECS
may be listed and not deemed impracticable by the Trustee, and upon such notice
as may be required by such exchange.

                  At Maturity, the principal amount of this DECS will be
mandatorily exchanged into a number of shares of Devon Common Stock, at the
Exchange Rate. The "Exchange Rate" is equal to (a) if the Maturity Price (as
defined below) is greater than or equal to $39.16125 (the "Threshold
Appreciation Price"), 0.84746 shares of Devon Common Stock per DECS, (b) if the
Maturity Price is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price but is greater than
$33.1875 (the "Initial Price"), a fraction equal to the Initial Price divided by
the Maturity Price of one share of Devon Common Stock per DECS (such fractional
share being calculated to the nearest 1/100,000th of a share or, if there is not
a nearest 1/100,000th of a share, to the next higher 1/100,000th of a share) and
(c) if the Maturity Price is less than or equal to the Initial Price, one share
of Devon Common Stock per DECS. Any shares of Devon Common Stock delivered by
the Company to the Holders of the DECS that are not affiliated with Devon shall
be free of any transfer restrictions except to the extent any transfer
restrictions are caused by the Holders of DECS, and the holders of DECS will be
responsible for the payment of any and all brokerage costs upon the subsequent
sale of such shares. No fractional shares of Devon Common Stock will be issued
at Maturity as provided in the Indenture.

                  The Company may at its option, in lieu of delivering shares of
Devon Common Stock, deliver cash in an amount equal to the value of such number
of shares of Devon Common Stock at the Maturity Price as provided in the
Indenture; provided, however, that if such option

<PAGE>   26
                                                                               3

is exercised, the Company shall deliver cash with respect to all, but not less
than all, of the shares of Devon Common Stock that would otherwise be
deliverable.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the case of certain
dilution events, the Exchange Rate will be subject to adjustment and (ii) in the
case of certain adjustment events, the consideration received by Holders of DECS
at Maturity will be shares of Devon Common Stock, other securities and/or cash,
each as provided in the Indenture.

                  The "Maturity Price" is defined as the average Closing Price
per share of Devon Common Stock on the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to (but
not including) the date of Maturity or, under certain circumstances as provided
in the Indenture, the market value per share of Devon Common Stock as of the
date of Maturity as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment
banking firm retained for this purpose by the Company. The "Closing Price" of
any security on any date of determination means (i) the closing sale price (or,
if no closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price) of such
security (regular way) on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on such date,
(ii) if such security is not listed for trading on the NYSE on any such date, as
reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States
securities exchange on which such security is so listed, (iii) if such security
is not so listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as
reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, (iv) if such security is not so reported,
the last quoted bid price for such security in the over-the-counter market as
reported by the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization or (v) if such
security is not so quoted, the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask
prices for such security from each of at least three nationally recognized
investment banking firms selected for this purpose by the Company. A "Trading
Day" is defined as a Business Day on which the security the Closing Price of
which is being determined (i) is not suspended from trading on any national or
regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market at the
close of business and (ii) has traded at least once on the national or regional
securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market that is the
primary market for the trading of such security. "Business Day" means any day
that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the NYSE, banking
institutions or trust companies in The City of New York, New York are authorized
or obligated by law or executive order to close.

                  Interest on this DECS will be payable, and delivery of Devon
Common Stock (or, at the Company's option, the cash equivalent of such Devon
Common Stock and/or such other consideration as permitted or required herein and
in the Indenture) in exchange for the principal amount of this DECS at Maturity
will be made upon surrender of this DECS, at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in the City of New York, New York, and payment of
interest on (and, if the Company elects not to deliver Devon Common Stock and/or
other Reported Securities upon exchange at Maturity, the cash equivalent thereof
payable upon exchange for the principal amount of) this DECS will be made in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that
at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to
the persons in whose names the DECS are registered on the Regular

                  Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
DECS set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as of set forth at this place.

                  Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by manual signature by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof,
this DECS shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose.

Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, DECS are
exchangeable for other DECS of like aggregate principal amount and of a like

transfer or exchange of DECS, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection therewith.
