PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


THIS
PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of [•], 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended, this “Agreement”),
is entered into by and among Nabors Energy Transition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each
of the parties set forth on the signature page hereto under “Purchasers” (the “Purchasers”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company intends
to consummate an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each unit consisting
of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
and one-half of one redeemable warrant as set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), File Number 333-256876 (the “Registration Statement”),
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Purchasers have agreed to purchase an aggregate of
10,690,000 warrants (or up to 11,890,000 warrants if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full)
(the “Private Placement Warrants”), each whole Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one
share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

sometimes referred to herein as a “Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchasers, and
the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, the number of Private Placement Warrants set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name

The Purchasers shall pay the Over-allotment Purchase Price set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A to this Agreement
by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions. On the Over-allotment Closing

Investment Representations.


 


(i)             Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for such Purchaser’s own account, for investment
purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.


 


(ii)           
Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act.


 


(iii)           Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from
the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of such Purchaser set forth herein in order
to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire such Securities.


 


(iv)           Such Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within
the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.


 


(v)           
Such Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials
relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity
to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. Such Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.


 


(vi)           Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed
on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by such
Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.


 






    3


     


    

 


(vii)         
 Such Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or
(2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, neither the
Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws
or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder; and (c) Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act will not
be available for resale transactions of Securities prior to a Business Combination and may not be available for resale transactions of
Securities after a Business Combination.


 


(viii)       
Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk associated
with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated
hereunder for an indefinite period of time. Such Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies
and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. Such
Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
