(the “Information Agent” and the “Exchange Agent”) establishing their eligibility to participate in the Exchange Offers and providing supplemental information required for Canadian securities regulatory reporting purposes. Each holder of Existing Coterra Notes was, by participating in any Exchange Offer, deemed to represent and warrant that it was not located in or a resident of any province or territory of Canada, and that it was not tendering any Existing Coterra Notes on behalf of a beneficial owner that was located in or a resident of Canada, unless either: (i) such holder completed and returned a Canadian supplemental eligibility letter to the Information Agent, or (ii) such holder was an account manager outside Canada acting on behalf of a Canadian beneficial owner on a fully discretionary basis, and no acts in furtherance of the exchange of such beneficial owner’s Existing Coterra Notes took place in Canada.
