DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION

This Debt Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Debt Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of July 12, 2011, as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 6, dated as of June 9, 2021 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and UMB Bank, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this Debt Security is a part), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Debt Security is one of the duly authorized series of Debt Securities designated on the face hereof, and the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities to be issued under such series is initially limited to $224,079,000, subject to the Company’s right to increase such limit as provided in the Indenture (except for Debt Securities authenticated and delivered upon transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Debt Securities). All terms used in this Debt Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to the Debt Securities of this series, shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount of the Debt Securities of this series and interest accrued thereon may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

Notice of redemption will be given by mail to Holders of Debt Securities, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, all as provided in the Indenture.

This Debt Security may be redeemed in part only in multiples of $2,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. In the event of redemption of this Debt Security in part only, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as provided therein, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Debt Securities issued under the Indenture at the time Outstanding and directly affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all such securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount, in certain instances, of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all

A-5

future Holders of this Debt Security and other Debt Securities issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Debt Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debt Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Debt Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, the transfer of this Debt Security is registrable in the Debt Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Debt Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Debt Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Debt Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Debt Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, this Debt Security is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the same terms and conditions, as requested by the Holder hereof surrendering the same.

The Debt Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Debt Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Debt Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Debt Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or the interest on this Debt Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any past, present or future stockholder, employee, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

The Indenture and the Debt Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in such State.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Debt Securities of this series as a convenience to the Holders of such Debt Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Debt Securities, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

[To be omitted from Exchange Notes:][The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them in the Registration Rights Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, if a Registration Default occurs, the interest rate on this Note will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90 day period beginning on the day immediately following such Registration Default and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90 day period, in each case until and including the date such Registration Default ends, up to a maximum increase of 0.50% per annum. A “Registration Default” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the Registration Statement referenced in Section 2(a)(x) of the Registration Rights Agreement is not deemed effective on or prior to the Target Registration Date or (ii) if the Exchange Offer is not consummated prior to the Target Registration Date and, if a shelf registration statement is required pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement, such Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the later of (x) the Target Registration Date and (y) 60 days after delivery of the applicable Shelf Request, or (iii) if a shelf registration statement is required pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement and after being declared effective, such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable for resales of Registrable Notes (a) on more than two occasions of at least 30 consecutive days during the Shelf Effectiveness Period or (b) at any time in any 12-month period during the required effectiveness period and such failure to remain effective or useable for resales of Registrable Notes exists for more than 90 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period. A Registration Default ends with respect to any Note when such Note ceases to be a Registrable Note or, if earlier, (1) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof, when the Exchange Offer is completed or when the Shelf Registration Statement covering such Registrable Notes becomes effective or (2) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (iii) of the definition thereof, when the Registration Statement becomes effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable. This Note shall cease to be a Registrable Note upon the earliest of the following: (i) when a Registration Statement with respect to such Notes has become effective under the Securities Act and such Notes have been exchanged or disposed of pursuant to such Registration Statement, (ii) when such Notes cease to be outstanding, (iii) when such Notes have been resold pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act (but not Rule 144A) without regard to volume restrictions, provided that the Company shall have removed or caused to be removed any restrictive legend on the Notes or (iv) the date that is three years after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement. If at any time more than one Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, then, until the next date that there is no Registration Default, the increase in interest rate provided for by this paragraph shall

A-7

apply as if there occurred a single Registration Default that begins on the date that the earliest such Registration Default occurred and ends on the next date that there is no Registration Default. This paragraph is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement and does not in any way amend, modify, change or enlarge any rights or obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.]
