The Schedule 13D filed on March 3, 2005 by Jana Partners LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Reporting Person"), relating to the common stock, $1.00
par value (the "Shares"), of Kerr-McGee Corporation (the "Issuer"), as amended
by Amendment No. 1 dated March 10, 2005, Amendment No. 2 dated March 24, 2005,
Amendment No. 3 dated April 4, 2005 and Amendment No. 4 dated April 14, 2005,
is hereby amended as set forth below by this Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule
13D.

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

         Of the 3,530,200 Shares reported herein by the Reporting Person,
3,280,200 Shares were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$211,148,336, and the remaining 250,000 Shares represent options to acquire
Shares, which options were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $1,046,090. The Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person
were acquired with investment funds in accounts under management.


ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby
amended and restated as follows:

         (a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported to be beneficially
owned by the Reporting Person is based upon 163,442,818 Shares outstanding,
which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of March 11, 2005 as reported
in the Issuer's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed on April 1,
2005.

         As of the close of business on April 15, 2005, the Reporting Person may
be deemed to beneficially own 3,530,200 Shares (including options to purchase up
to 250,000 Shares), constituting approximately 2.2% of the Shares outstanding.
Upon information and belief, the Icahn Group, as of the close of business on
April 15, 2005, may be deemed to beneficially own 10,314,100 Shares.
Accordingly, the 13,844,300 Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned
in the aggregate by the Reporting Person and the Icahn Group as a "group," as of
the close of business on April 15, 2005, constitutes approximately 8.5% of the
Shares outstanding. The Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial
ownership of securities held by the Icahn Group or any person or entity other
than, to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein, the various accounts
under the Reporting Person's management and control.

         (b) The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive powers over
the 3,530,200 Shares reported herein (including, if such options are exercised,
the 250,000 Shares underlying the options reported herein), which powers are
exercised by the Principals.

         (c) The Reporting Person has effected the following transactions in the
Shares since its most recent filing on Schedule 13D. Each of such Shares was 
purchased by exercising options that had been acquired in the open market. 
Option holdings of the Reporting Person are set forth below in Item 6.

ITEM 6.           CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
                  RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

         As set forth below, the Reporting Person holds, as of the close of
business on April 15, 2005, options to acquire 250,000 Shares, each of which was
acquired on the open market:

  Purchase       Options      per Share ($)    Expiration Date   per Option ($)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  03/21/05       100,000         80.00             05/20/05           5.1000
  04/06/05       100,000         75.00             05/20/05           3.7459
  04/07/05        50,000         75.00             05/20/05           3.2400

         As more fully described in Item 4, pursuant to discussions among the
Reporting Person and the Icahn Group, on March 2, 2005 the Icahn Group notified
the Issuer that it proposed to nominate Barry Rosenstein and Carl Icahn for
election to the Issuer's board of directors at the 2005 annual meeting of
stockholders. Representatives of the Reporting Person and the Icahn Group have
suggested various actions to the Issuer that they believe would enhance
stockholder value.

         On or about March 14, 2005, the Issuer filed the Amended Complaint
alleging, among other things, (i) violation of reporting requirements of Section
13(d) of the Act and Rule 13d-1 thereunder, (ii) failure of the Icahn Group's
notification of its intention to nominate Messrs. Rosenstein and Icahn as
directors to comply with the Issuer's By-Law requirements and (iii) violation of
Section 14(a) of the Act and Rule 14a-9 thereunder. The Amended Complaint
sought, among other things, a declaratory judgment that the proposed nominations
of Messrs. Rosenstein and Icahn as directors are invalid. A copy of the Amended
Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit D.

         The Reporting Person determined to solicit proxies on behalf of Messrs.
Rosenstein and Icahn as candidates for director of the Issuer at the Issuer's
2005 annual meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, a preliminary proxy statement
was filed by the Reporting Person, the Icahn Group and certain related parties
on March 24, 2005 and subsequently amended. The Reporting Person and the Icahn
Group agreed to each pay half of the costs related to the proxy solicitation,
except that each would bear its own legal expenses.

         On April 13, 2005, the Reporting Person, the Icahn Group and the Issuer
entered into an agreement (the "Agreement"). A copy of the Agreement is attached
hereto as Exhibit F and incorporated herein by reference.

         On April 14, 2005, the Reporting Person and the Icahn Group issued a
press release (the "Press Release"). A copy of the Press Release is attached
hereto as Exhibit G and incorporated herein by reference.

         Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Reporting Person does not
have any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any person
with respect to securities of the Issuer.
