shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, securities
exchange rule, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, memorandum of association, by-laws, agreements to which the Company is
subject, if any, or usage, provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company. Each Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities shall be in registered form without coupons and issued only in minimum denominations
of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The terms and provisions contained in the Securities shall constitute, and
are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their
execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent
any provision of any Security conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture (to the extent
permitted by law) shall govern and be controlling.


 


(b)               Global
Securities. Securities issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (in each case including the Global
Security Legend thereon and the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security attached thereto). Securities issued in
definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (but without, in each case, the Global Security Legend thereon and
without the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security attached thereto). Each Global Security shall represent such
of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein, and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.
Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Securities Custodian, in accordance with written instructions given
by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06.


 


(c)              
Regulation S Global Securities. Any Securities initially offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially
in the form of a Regulation S Global Security, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby
with the Securities Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company
and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, any resale or transfer of
beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security to U.S. Persons shall not be permitted unless such resale or transfer is made pursuant
to Rule 144A or Regulation S.

Securities Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.


 


(e)              
Definitive Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, any issuance of Definitive Securities
shall be at the Company’s discretion, except in the specific circumstances set forth in Section 2.06(a).


 


SECTION 2.02.       
Execution and Authentication. One Officer of the Company shall sign the Securities on behalf of the Company by manual or
facsimile signature. The Company’s seal may be (but shall not be required to be) impressed, affixed, imprinted or reproduced on
the Securities and may be in facsimile form.


 


If an Officer of the Company
whose signature is on this Indenture or a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security or
at any time thereafter, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.


 


A Security shall not be entitled
to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized
signatory of the Trustee or an authenticating agent, as the case may be, which signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security
has been authenticated under this Indenture.


 






    11


     


    

 


The Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver: (1) on the date hereof, Initial Securities for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of
$700,000,000 and (2) if and when issued, Additional Securities, in each case upon a written order of the Company signed by one
Officer of the Company. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the issue of
such Securities is to be authenticated and whether the Securities are to be in global or definitive form and whether they are to
bear the Private Placement Legend. The Company may issue Additional Securities under this Indenture subsequent to the Issue Date, provided
that a separate CUSIP will be used for any Additional Securities that are not “fungible” for U.S. federal income tax
purposes with the Securities issued on the Issue Date. In authenticating such Securities, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon, an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that such Securities and the related
Guarantees, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, in the
manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of
the Company and the Guarantors, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Securities authorized for issuance by the Company
pursuant to such written orders of the Company, except as provided in Section 2.07. Subject to the foregoing, the aggregate principal
amount of Securities that may be issued under this Indenture shall not be limited.


 


The Trustee may appoint one
or more authenticating agents acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an
authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by
the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company, the
Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates.


 


SECTION 2.03.

may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where such Securities may
be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and

term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.


 


The Company shall enter into
an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions
of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to
this Indenture. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. If the Company fails to appoint or
maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. Nabors Bermuda or any of its Subsidiaries may act
as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


The place of payment with
respect to the Securities, in addition to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, shall be an office maintained by the Company in The
City of New York, and at such time, if ever, as the Securities are no longer represented by one
or more Global Securities, the Company shall appoint and maintain a Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, the
intention of the Company being that, after giving effect to the procedures of the Depositary respecting payments on Global Securities,
the Securities shall at all times be payable in New York, New York.


 


The immunities, protections
and exculpations available to the Trustee under this Indenture shall also be available to each Agent and each authenticating agent, and
the Company’s obligations under Section 6.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee shall extend likewise to each Agent and each
authenticating agent.

SECTION 2.04.       
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing
that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment
of principal of or premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Securities, whether such money shall have been paid
to it by the Company or the Guarantors, and will notify the Trustee in accordance with Section 11.02 of any default by the Company
or the Guarantors in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon payment over to the Trustee and upon accounting for any funds disbursed,
the Paying Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company
acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying
Agent.


 


SECTION 2.05.       
Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available
to it of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities. If the Trustee is not the Registrar for the Securities, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request
in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of
the Securities.

(1)

All Global Securities and Definitive Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Securities or Definitive

(9)

    24


     


    

 


SECTION 2.07.        Replacement
Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has
been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the
requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Company or the Trustee
within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not
register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Company or Trustee prior to the Security
being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected
purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. Such Holder must furnish an indemnity bond
that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any
authenticating agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge
for their expenses in replacing a Security. If, after the delivery of such replacement Security, a protected purchaser of the
original Security in lieu of which such replacement Security was issued presents for payment or registration such original Security,
the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Security from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking
therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the
extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Trustee or the Company in connection therewith. Every replacement
Security is a contractual obligation of the Company.


 


In case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.


 


The provisions of this Section
are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities.


 


SECTION 2.08.       
Outstanding Securities. The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except
for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the
Registrar hereunder and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders
of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities are present at a meeting of Holders of Securities for quorum purposes or have
consented to or voted in favor of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder,
Securities held for the account of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except
that in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making such a determination or relying upon any such quorum, consent or
vote, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.


 


If a Security is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security
is held by a protected purchaser.


 


If the principal amount of
any Security is considered paid under Section 3.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.


 


SECTION 2.09.       
[Reserved.]


 






    25


     


    

 


SECTION 2.10.       
Temporary Securities. Until Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate or cause to be authenticated temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive
Securities, but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the
Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged,
temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Securities.


 


SECTION 2.11.       
Cancellation. The Company or the Guarantors at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar
and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.
The Trustee, upon written Company Order, shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement
or cancellation. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practice (subject to
the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that have been
paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


SECTION 2.12.       
Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest
in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities
and in the manner provided in Section 3.01. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent
special record date. At least 15 days before any special record date, the Company (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of
the Company) shall send to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest
to be paid. The Trustee will not have any duty to determine whether any defaulted interest is payable or the amount thereof.


 


SECTION 2.13.       
Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent may treat the Person
in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of or premium,
if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on such Security and for all other purposes. None of the Company, the Guarantors, the
Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


SECTION 2.14.       
CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or similar numbers
(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided
that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities
or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify
the Trustee in accordance with Section 11.02 of any change in any such number.

of Nabors Bermuda, holds by 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, on that date money deposited by or on behalf of the Company designated for and
sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest then due.

Trustee and the Holders of the Securities if (i) Nabors Bermuda or any direct or indirect parent of Nabors Bermuda has filed such reports
with the SEC via the EDGAR (or successor) filing system within the applicable time periods after giving effect to any extensions permitted

parent entity has made such reports available electronically and has notified the holders of the Securities of such (including by posting
to a non-public, password-protected website) pursuant to this Section 3.03. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge

the Company’s compliance with any covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s
Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, Nabors Bermuda’s or
the Company’s compliance with this covenant and shall have no responsibility to determine whether any reports, information or documents
have been filed with the Commission via the EDGAR (or successor) filing system, made available electronically or posted on any website.

are not freely transferable under the Securities Act, upon the request of a Holder, Nabors Bermuda or the Company will promptly furnish
or cause to be furnished the information specified under Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act to such Holder, or to a prospective purchaser
of a Security designed by such Holder, in order to permit compliance with Rule 144A.


 


(d)              
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.03 is for informational purposes
only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable

duties as such Officer, he would normally obtain knowledge of the keeping, observing, performing and fulfilling by the Company and the
Guarantors, respectively, of their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to the Officer signing such statement, that
to the best of his knowledge, each of the Company and the Guarantors has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant
contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof
(or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such Officer may

or formation.


 


SECTION 3.06.       
Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law or any usury law or other law, which would prohibit or forgive the Company or the Guarantors from paying all or
any portion of the principal of or premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Securities as contemplated herein,
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to
the extent that they may lawfully do so) each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer
and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.


 


SECTION 3.07.       
Limitation on Liens. So long as any Securities are outstanding, Nabors Bermuda will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries

pledge, security interest or lien (a “mortgage” or “mortgages”) upon any properties of Nabors Bermuda or any of
its Subsidiaries or upon any securities or indebtedness of any of its Subsidiaries (whether such properties, securities or indebtedness
is now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such case effectively providing that the Securities shall be secured equally and ratably

after the completion and commencement of commercial operation of such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment
of the purchase price or cost thereof; provided that in the case of such construction or improvement the mortgages shall not apply to

faith by appropriate proceedings provided appropriate reserves required pursuant to GAAP have been made in respect thereof;

SECTION 3.08.       
Payment of Additional Amounts.


 


(a)               All
payments made by or on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Securities or any Guarantee, as
applicable, will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost,
assessment or other similar governmental charge, including any interest, additions to tax, or penalties applicable thereto
(collectively, “Taxes”) unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event that any such withholding
or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes is levied by or on behalf of:


 


(i)                
Bermuda or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is incorporated or organized, has its place of central
management or central control or is otherwise engaged in business or resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof (other than the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof); or


 


(ii)             
any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor (including, without limitation,
the jurisdiction of any Paying Agent) or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (other than the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof);


 


(each of clauses (i)
and (ii), a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay such additional
amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder (or beneficial owner) of
Securities will equal the amount that the Holder (or beneficial owner) would have received if the Taxes had not been required to be withheld
or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder to the extent:


 


(1)              
that any Taxes would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder (or
beneficial owner of the Securities) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, other than any connection arising solely from the mere receipt
of the payment, acquisition, ownership or disposition of such Securities or the exercise or enforcement of rights under the Securities,
the Guarantees or this Indenture;


 


(2)              
of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property Taxes imposed with respect to the Securities or any other
Taxes payable other than by withholding or deduction, except as described below or as otherwise provided in this Indenture;


 


(3)              
that any such Taxes would not have been imposed but for the presentation of the Securities, where presentation is required, for
payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which the payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is
duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional
Amounts had the Securities been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period;


 


(4)               that
the Holder or beneficial owner of Securities would not be liable or subject to such withholding or deduction of Taxes but for the
failure to make a valid declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption, if: (a) the making of the declaration or
claim is required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation, ruling or administrative practice of the relevant taxing authority as a
precondition to an exemption from, or reduction in, the relevant Taxes; (b) at least 60 days prior to the first payment with respect
to which the Company or such Guarantor shall apply this clause (iv), the Company or such Guarantor shall have notified all Holders
in writing that they or any beneficial owners of the Securities shall be required to provide this declaration or claim; and (c) the
Holder or beneficial owner of Securities is legally eligible to provide such declaration or claim;


 






    32


     


    

 


(5)              
any Taxes imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any successor law or regulation implementing or complying with,
or introduced in order to conform to, such Sections, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, any intergovernmental
agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules
or practices adopted pursuant to any such intergovernmental agreement;


 


(6)              
any Taxes imposed on overall net income or any branch profits Taxes;


 


(7)              
that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to a fiduciary, a member of a partnership or the beneficial owner of the payment would
not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of a Security
in the case of a Holder that is a fiduciary or partnership or a person other than the sole beneficial owner of any such payment;


 


(8)              
or any combination of the Taxes and/or withholdings or deductions described in the foregoing clauses (1) through (7).


 


(b)              
The Company and such Guarantor shall also (i) withhold or deduct such Taxes as required; (ii) remit the full amount of Taxes deducted
or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with all applicable laws; (iii) use reasonable efforts to obtain from each
relevant taxing authority imposing the Taxes certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes deducted or withheld;
and (iv) upon request, make available to the Holders of the Securities, within 60 days after the date the payment of any Taxes deducted
or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of Tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company or such Guarantor
and, notwithstanding the Company’s or such Guarantor’s efforts to obtain the receipts, if the same are not obtainable, other
evidence of such payments. Each Holder and beneficial owner of the Securities agrees that it shall, upon the request of an applicable
withholding agent, provide an applicable IRS Form W-8 or W-9 to the applicable withholding agent.


 


(c)              
In addition, the Company or any Guarantor will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar Taxes payable in
any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or the United States with respect to the creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement
of the Securities or Guarantees.


 


(d)               At
least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Securities is due and payable, if the Company or
any Guarantor becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company (or in respect of the
Guarantees, such Guarantor) shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that such Additional
Amounts will be payable, and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee
or the Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to the Holders on the payment date.


 






    33


     


    

 



 


(e)              
All references in this Indenture to the payment of principal of and premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest (including
defaulted interest), if any, or any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Securities shall be deemed to include mention
of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in this Section 3.08 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were
or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.08, and express mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts in those provisions in this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts where such express mention is not
made (if applicable).


 


(f)               
The obligations of the Company and any Guarantor under this Section 3.08 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the
payment of all amounts under or with respect to this Indenture and the Securities, and any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of
its Securities.


 


SECTION 3.09.       
Limitations on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. So long as any Securities are outstanding, Nabors Bermuda will not, nor
will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, other than any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction:


 


(a)              
entered into within 360 days of the later of the acquisition or placing into service of the property subject thereto by Nabors
Bermuda or such Subsidiary;

(d)              
between Nabors Bermuda and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries;


 


(e)              
as to which Nabors Bermuda or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a mortgage on the property to be leased
in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction without equally and ratably securing
the Securities (1) under clauses (a) through (n) of Section 3.07 or (2) under the last paragraph of Section 3.07; or


 


(f)               
as to which Nabors Bermuda will apply an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the property so leased to (1) the retirement
(other than any mandatory retirement), within 360 days of the effective date of any such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, of Securities
or of Funded Debt of Nabors Bermuda or one of its Subsidiaries or (2) the purchase or construction of other property, provided that such
property is owned by Nabors Bermuda or one of its Subsidiaries free and clear of all mortgages.


 


SECTION 3.10.        Change

Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of purchase; provided, however, that if such date of purchase is after the taking
of a record of the Holders on a record date and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest
shall be payable to the Person in whose name the repurchased Securities are registered on such record date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to repurchase any Securities pursuant to this Section 3.10 to the extent that the
Company shall have exercised its right to redeem the Securities pursuant to Section 10.07.


 






    34


     


    

 


For purposes of this Section
3.10, the term “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:


 


(a)              
the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation), in one
or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of Nabors Bermuda and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole
to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to Nabors Bermuda or one or more
of its Subsidiaries or a combination thereof or a Person controlled by Nabors Bermuda or one or more of its Subsidiaries or a combination
thereof;


 


(b)

than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of Nabors Bermuda, measured by voting power rather than number of shares (excluding a redomestication
of Nabors Bermuda).

a transaction shall not be deemed to involve a “Change of Control” under clause (b) above if (i) Nabors Bermuda becomes a
direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of a holding company and (ii)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such
holding company immediately following such transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of Nabors Bermuda
immediately prior to such transaction or (B) immediately following such transaction no “person” (as that term is used in Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the “beneficial owner”
(as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock
of such holding company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares.


 


For purposes of this
Section 3.10, the term “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the ratings of the Securities are lowered by at least
two of the three Rating Agencies and, immediately following such lowering, the Securities are not rated Investment Grade by at least
two of the three Rating Agencies in any case on any date during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing on the date
of the first public announcement by the Company or Nabors Bermuda of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending
60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which 60-day period will be extended for so long as the rating of the
Securities is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade as a result of the Change of Control by any of the
Rating Agencies); provided, however, that if the Securities are not rated by all three Rating Agencies, then a “Change of
Control Triggering Event” shall occur if the ratings of the Securities are lowered by at least one of the Rating Agencies and,
immediately following such lowering, the Securities are not rated Investment Grade by at least one of the Rating Agencies in any
case on any date during the Trigger Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to
have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been
consummated.


 






    35


     


    

 


Within 60 days following the
date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control
but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, except to the extent that
the Company shall have exercised its right to redeem the Securities pursuant to Section 10.07, the Company shall send a notice (a “Change
of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Securities with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of
Control Offer, stating:


 


(1)              
that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such
Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest
Payment Date as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 3.10);


 


(2)              
the circumstances regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event;


 


(3)              
the purchase date (which shall be (i) no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, if sent
after consummation of the Change of Control and (ii) on the date of the Change of Control, if such notice is sent prior to consummation
of the Change of Control, in each case, other than as may be required by law) (such date, the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
and


 


(4)              
the instructions that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased.


 


Holders of Securities electing
to have such Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer must surrender their Securities with the form entitled “Option
of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice,
or transfer their Securities to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the Applicable Procedures, prior to the close of business
on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.


 


On the Change of Control Payment
Date, all Securities purchased by the Company under this Section shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall
pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Holders entitled thereto.


 






    36


     


    

 


The Company may make a Change
of Control Offer in advance of a Change of Control and the Change of Control Payment Date, and its Change of Control Offer may be conditioned
upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control
Offer.


 


If Holders of not less than
90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a Change of Control
Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company, as described below, purchases all of
the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than
60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above,
to redeem all of the Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders
of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date).


 


Any redemption pursuant to
this Section 3.10 shall be made, to the extent applicable, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 10.01 through 10.06.


 


The Company shall have no
obligation to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance
with the requirements of this Section 3.10 for such an offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Securities properly
tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.


 


The Company shall comply,
to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection
with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with this Section 3.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to
have breached its obligations by virtue thereof.


 


SECTION 3.11.       
Limitations on Subsidiary Debt.


 


(a)              
For so long as any Securities are outstanding, Nabors Bermuda will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to incur, directly or indirectly,
any Debt other than:


 


(i)                
existing Debt of a Subsidiary of Nabors Bermuda outstanding on the date of issuance of the Securities (other than Debt described
in clauses (vii)(A), (viii) or (xiv) of this Section 3.11(a));


 


(ii)              intercompany
loans and advances between or among Nabors Bermuda and its Subsidiaries; provided that (a) if the obligor on such intercompany loan
or advance is a Guarantor, then such Debt must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations
with respect to the Guarantee of such Guarantor; and (b)(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock that results in any
such Debt being held by a Person other than Nabors Bermuda or a Subsidiary of Nabors Bermuda and (ii) any sale or other transfer of
any such Debt to a Person that is not Nabors Bermuda or a Subsidiary of Nabors Bermuda, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute
an incurrence of such Debt by such Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (2); provided further that (x) notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Guarantors may owe such Debt to Nabors Bermuda or any such Subsidiary up to an aggregate principal amount at any
one time outstanding under this clause (ii) of $100,000,000 that is not subject to such subordination terms and (y) that any such
standalone subordination or intercreditor agreement or such other arrangement shall permit payments in respect of such intercompany
indebtedness as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;


 






    37


     


    

 


(iii)           
Debt under any Interest Rate Protection Agreements or any Currency Rate Protection Agreements;


 


(iv)

funds;


 


(v)              
Debt of a Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary of Nabors Bermuda or is merged, consolidated or amalgamated
with or into Nabors Bermuda or any Subsidiary of Nabors Bermuda; provided that any such Debt was not incurred in contemplation
of any such transaction;


 


(vi)            
Debt of any Guarantor that is subordinate in right of payment to the Guarantee of such Guarantor;


 


(vii)         
(A) Debt in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500.0 million represented by (i) the Securities and the Guarantees and (ii) other
Debt having the same obligors as the Securities and the Guarantees and issued by the Company or Nabors Bermuda and (B) Junior Guaranteed
Debt, including in each case any extension, renewal, refunding, replacement or refinancing (collectively, a “refinancing”)
of such Debt incurred under this clause (vii), provided that after giving effect to any such refinancing, the principal amount
of Debt incurred pursuant to clause (vii) (A) in the aggregate and at any time outstanding does not exceed $500.0 million and provided
further that, for the avoidance of doubt, any refinancing of Debt incurred pursuant to this clause (vii)(A) has the same obligors as the
Securities and the Guarantees and such Debt is issued or incurred by the Company or Nabors Bermuda;


 


(viii)       
Debt incurred pursuant to Credit Facilities in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (viii) not to
exceed an amount equal to (A) the greater of (i) $1.70 billion and (ii) 10.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, less (B) the total
Aggregate Debt outstanding at the time of such incurrence (without double counting for Aggregate Debt incurred under this clause (viii)),
measured at the time of incurrence of any such Debt and after giving effect to such incurrence, less (C) outstanding Debt incurred or
described under clause (vii)(A) of this Section 3.11.


 


(ix)            
 Debt in respect of current accounts payable and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business;


 






    38


     


    

 


(x)              
Debt, which may include purchase money Debt, capital lease or finance lease obligations or mortgage financings, incurred to finance
the purchase, installation, construction, design or improvement, or capital lease or finance lease of assets (including equipment) or
property (real or personal) (whether through the direct purchase of assets or the capital stock of any person owning such assets) and
related taxes and transaction costs provided that (i) such Debt when incurred shall not exceed 85% of the purchase price of the asset(s)
or person financed and all fees, premium, costs and expenses relating thereto, including attorney and legal, accounting, expert, and professional
advisor fees and expenses; and (ii) no such Debt shall be refinanced for a principal amount in excess of the principal balance outstanding
thereon at the time of such refinancing plus all fees, premium, costs and expenses relating thereto, including attorney and legal, accounting,
expert, and professional advisor fees and expenses;


 


(xi)            
Debt under performance guaranties, performance bonds and letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business and serving
as a financial or performance guaranty (other than as a guaranty of Debt for borrowed money);


 


(xii)

(xiii)       
Debt in respect of any Permitted Accounts Receivables Sales Facility; and


 


(xiv)        
any refinancing of Debt incurred pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i), (v) and this clause (xiv), provided, that (i) such refinancing
Debt will not exceed the principal amount of Debt so refinanced plus an amount necessary to pay fees and expenses, including premiums,
related to such refinancing (ii) the scheduled maturity date thereof is not shortened (except to the extent such shortened maturity date
is subsequent to the Stated Maturity and (iii) such refinancing Debt and any guarantees thereof are incurred solely by the obligors and
guarantors, if any, of the Debt so refinanced).


 


Nabors Bermuda will not permit
any of the Guarantors to incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to other Debt of such
Guarantor and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Guarantees of the Securities.


 


Debt permitted by this Section
3.11(a) need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Debt but may be permitted in part by one such provision
and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 3.11(a) permitting such Debt. In the event that an item of Debt meets the
criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described in this Section 3.11(a), the Company will be permitted, in its sole discretion,
to divide, classify or reclassify all or a portion of such item of Debt and only be required to include the amount of such Debt in one
of such clauses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Receivables Purchase, the Receivables Sale Agreement, and related transaction documents
do not constitute Debt.


 


(b)              
 This covenant shall not apply during such time as the Securities are rated Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating
Agencies and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture. The Trustee shall not have any obligation
to monitor the ratings of the Securities.


 






    39


     


    

 


SECTION 3.12.       
Limitations on Asset Transfers.


 


Nabors Bermuda shall not permit
any of the Lower Tier Notes Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries to directly or indirectly convey, sell, lease, assign,
sell and leaseback, transfer (including by way of investment) or otherwise dispose of any drilling related fixed assets, including drilling
rigs, drilling-related services assets or related assets (including, without limitation, any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary or any interest
in a joint venture that owns such assets), whether now owned or hereafter acquired (each a “Rig Disposition”), to (i) Nabors
Bermuda, (ii) any Subsidiary of Nabors Bermuda that is not Nabors Drilling Technologies USA, Inc., Nabors Lux 2, Nabors Drilling Canada
Limited or Nabors International Management Limited (together, the “Original Lower Tier Notes Guarantors”) or (iii) any joint
venture directly held by Nabors Bermuda or a Subsidiary or parent (direct or indirect) of Nabors Bermuda, excluding any joint venture
directly or indirectly held by any Original Lower Tier Notes Guarantor or a Subsidiary of such Guarantor, unless such Rig Disposition
is to (x) an Original Lower Tier Notes Guarantor, (y) a Subsidiary of an Original Lower Tier Notes Guarantor or (z) a Subsidiary of Nabors
Bermuda that is not a Guarantor of any Existing Notes; provided that prior to or contemporaneous with such Rig Disposition pursuant to
this clause (z), such Subsidiary executes and delivers to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall
become a Guarantor under this Indenture and the related Guarantee shall be of the same priority as the existing Guarantees of the Lower
Tier Notes Guarantors; provided, further that Rig Dispositions to Transitory Subsidiary Owners shall not be prohibited for so long as
such Subsidiary is a Transitory Subsidiary Owner and no Subsidiary that is a Transitory Subsidiary Owner will be required to become a
Guarantor for so long as such Subsidiary is a Transitory Subsidiary Owner. In addition, Nabors Bermuda shall not permit any of the Lower
Tier Notes Guarantors and any of their respective Subsidiaries to make any Rig Disposition to any direct or indirect parent of Nabors
Bermuda.


 


Net proceeds of any Rig Dispositions
to Persons that are not Affiliates of Nabors Bermuda (other than joint ventures directly held by Nabors Bermuda or a Subsidiary or parent
(direct or indirect) of Nabors Bermuda, excluding any joint venture directly or indirectly held by any Original Lower Tier Notes Guarantor
or a Subsidiary of such Guarantor) received by the Lower Tier Notes Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries during any twelve month period
which are not retained or used in the business or operations of the Original Lower Tier Notes Guarantors or their Subsidiaries (such amounts
collectively, “Excess Rig Proceeds”), shall not exceed a total amount of $50.0 million in the aggregate in any twelve month
period; provided that Excess Rig Proceeds may be transferred to Nabors Bermuda or any Subsidiary of Nabors Bermuda on a temporary basis
for tax or other reasons in the ordinary course of such Subsidiary’s business for a period of up to twenty Business Days and the
full amount of such Excess Rig Proceeds shall be returned to an Original Lower Tier Notes Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries no later
than twenty Business Days following such transfer of such Excess Rig Proceeds.


 






    40


     


    

 


SECTION 3.13.       
  Future Guarantors.


 


After the Issue Date, if any
Subsidiary of Nabors Bermuda (other than the Company and certain entities incorporated or established in Luxembourg as provided in Section
9.04) or any direct or indirect parent of Nabors Bermuda that is not then a Guarantor guarantees the Existing Notes or the Existing Senior
Priority Guaranteed Notes then, such Subsidiary or such direct or indirect parent of Nabors Bermuda, as the case may be, within twenty
Business Days of the date that such indebtedness has been guaranteed, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture
pursuant to which such Subsidiary or such direct or indirect parent of Nabors Bermuda, as the case may be, shall become a Guarantor under
this Indenture and provide for a Guarantee by such Subsidiary or such direct or indirect parent of Nabors Bermuda, as the case may be,
on the same terms and conditions as those set forth herein (including, without limitation, the same priority as the existing Guarantees
of a Guarantor that is not a Lower Tier Notes Guarantor).

SECTION 4.01.       
Limitation on Mergers and Consolidations. The Company shall not consolidate or amalgamate with or merge into any other Person

    41


     


    

 


ARTICLE V

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES


 


SECTION 5.01.       
Events of Default. “Event of Default” means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event
of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):


 


(i)

dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, in conformity with Section
11.02, to the Company and the Guarantors by the Trustee or to the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be
remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or


 


(iv)            
the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or a Guarantor
in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company or a Guarantor
a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or
in respect of the Company or a Guarantor under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, receiver and manager,

or of any substantial part of the property of the Company or a Guarantor, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of
the Company or a Guarantor, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and

taking of corporate action by the Company or a Guarantor in furtherance of any such action; or


 






    42


     


    

 


(vi)            
the Guarantees of the Securities by any of the Guarantors ceases to be in full force and effect or become unenforceable or invalid
or are declared null and void (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantees) or a Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations
under such Guarantee.


 


The Trustee shall not be deemed
to know of a Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee has actual knowledge
of such Default or Event of Default with specific reference to such Default, the Securities and this Indenture. No duty imposed upon the
Trustee in this Indenture shall be applicable with respect to any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee is not deemed to have
notice. No duty imposed upon the Trustee in this Indenture shall be applicable with respect to any Default or Event of Default of which
the Trustee shall not have received notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.


 


When a Default is cured, or
when an Event of Default is deemed cured pursuant to Section 5.04, such Default, or Event of Default, as the case may be, ceases.


 


SECTION 5.02.       
Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (iv) or (v) of Section 5.01) occurs
and is continuing with respect to the Securities, the Trustee by notice to the Company and the Guarantors, or the Holders of at least
25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by written notice to the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee,
may declare the principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all then outstanding Securities
to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration the amounts due and payable on the Securities, as determined in accordance
with the final paragraph of this Section 5.02, shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (iv) or
(v) of Section 5.01 occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on all Securities then outstanding
shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Holder.


 


At any time after such an
acceleration of the Securities has occurred and before a judgment for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter
in this Article V provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities, by written notice to
the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if:


 






    43


     


    

 


(1)              
 the Company or the Guarantors have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:


 


(A)            
the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration
and Additional Amounts, if any, and any interest thereon then due at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities or in this
Indenture,


 


(B)             
to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue Additional Amounts, if any, at
the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities or in this Indenture, and


 


(C)             
all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel; and


 


(2)              
all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which have become due solely by such declaration
of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.04.


 


No such rescission shall affect
any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


If the Maturity of the Securities
is accelerated pursuant to this Section 5.02, 100% of the principal amount thereof and premium, if any, shall become due and payable plus
Additional Amounts, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment.


 


SECTION 5.03.       
Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect
the payment of principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance
of any provision of the Securities, the related Guarantees or this Indenture.


 


The Trustee may maintain a
proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by
the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.


 


SECTION 5.04.        Waiver
of Existing Defaults. Subject to Sections 5.07 and 8.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences
(including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for such Securities or a solicitation of consents in
respect of such Securities, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of the Securities then
outstanding on equal terms), except (1) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on the Securities or (2) a continuing Default in respect of a provision that under
Section 8.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist,
and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 






    44


     


    

 


SECTION 5.05.       
Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred
on it hereunder. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative
duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction unduly prejudices the rights of such Holders), or that may involve the Trustee in
personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent
with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall receive indemnification from such Holders satisfactory to
it against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action subject to the Trustee’s duty to act with the required
standard of care during a default.


 


SECTION 5.06.       
Limitations on Suits. Subject to Section 5.07, a Holder of Securities may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture
(including the Guarantees) or the Securities only if:


 


(i)                
such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;


 


(ii)             
the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee
to pursue the remedy;


 


(iii)           
such Holder or Holders furnish to the Trustee indemnity and security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense;


 


(iv)            
the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the furnishing of such indemnity;
and


 


(v)              
during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding do not give
the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.


 


A Holder may not use this
Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that
the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such action or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders
or obtain a preference or priority over another Holder).


 


SECTION 5.07.       
Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of
a Security to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Securities, on or after
the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to bring suit against the Company or the Guarantors for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent
of such Holder or obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and the Guarantors
(i) for the amount of principal of and premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on any Securities and
(ii) interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest,

reasonable and documented compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.


 


SECTION 5.09.       
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and
to take such actions, including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any committee of creditors, as may be necessary or

advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company and the Guarantors
or their respective creditors or properties and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder
to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 out of the
estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out
of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties which the Holders of the Securities may be entitled to
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote
in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.


 


SECTION 5.10.

First: to the Trustee, its agents and
attorneys for amounts due under Section 6.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;


 


Second: to Holders for amounts due and
unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest ratably, without preference or priority
of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and
interest, respectively; and


 


Third: to the Company and the Guarantors.


 






    46


     


    

 


The Trustee, upon prior written
notice to the Company and the Guarantors, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Article V.
At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall send to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date,
the payment date and amount to be paid.


 


SECTION 5.11.       
Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against
the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant
in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by the party litigant. This Section 5.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.07, or
a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.


 


ARTICLE VI

TRUSTEE


 


SECTION 6.01.       
Duties of Trustee.


 


(a)              
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in such exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his own affairs.


 


(b)              
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:


 


(i)                
the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only
those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


(ii)             
in the absence of gross negligence on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.
However, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not, on their face, they appear to conform to
the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated
therein).


 


(c)              
The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful
misconduct, except that:


 


(i)                
this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01;


 


(ii)             
the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;


 






    47


     


    

 


(iii)           
 The Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions, except for such losses, damages or expenses which have been finally
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted from the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct;
and


 


(iv)            
the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
received by it pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof.


 


(d)              
Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject
to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.01.


 


(e)              
No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee may
refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability
or expense.


 


(f)               
The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.
Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


(g)              
In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage
of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood
of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.


 


SECTION 6.02.       
Rights of Trustee.


 


(a)              
The Trustee may rely conclusively on and shall be protected in action or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such paper or document.


 


(b)              
Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate
or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in reliance thereon.


 


(c)              
The Trustee may act through agents or attorneys and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney
appointed with due care.


 


(d)              
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within
its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.


 






    48


     


    

 


(e)              
 Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company or a Guarantor
shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be.


 


(f)               
No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee is
under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder has
offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in
connection with its compliance with such request.


 


(g)              
The Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers
under this Indenture.


 


(h)              
The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith at the direction of the Holders
of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any
remedy available to the Trustee or the exercising of any power conferred by this Indenture.


 


(i)                
The Trustee’s immunities and protections from liability and its right to indemnification in connection with the performance
of its duties under this Indenture shall extend and be enforceable by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and shall extend
to the Trustee’s officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees. Such immunities and protections and right to indemnity, together
with the Trustee’s right to compensation, shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal, the discharge of this Indenture
and final payment of the Securities.


 


(j)                
The permissive right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or
duty to do so.


 


(k)              
Except for information provided by the Trustee concerning the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any information
in any disclosure material distributed with respect to the Securities, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for compliance with
any U.S. Federal or State securities or employee benefit plan laws in connection with the Securities.


 


(l)                
The Trustee may request that the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth
the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which
Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified
as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.


 


(m)            
The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically and expressly set forth in this Indenture.
These duties shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee.


 






    49


     


    

 


SECTION 6.03.        Individual
Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may
otherwise deal with the Company, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the
Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 6.10 and 6.11.


 


SECTION 6.04.       
Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Securities
or the Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision
hereof, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it
shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Securities or any other document in connection with
the issuance of the Securities or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.


 


SECTION 6.05.       
Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and it is actually known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to the Holders of such Securities a notice of such Default or Event of Default within 90
days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or premium, if any, Additional Amounts,
if any, or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of Holders.


 


SECTION 6.06.       
[Reserved].


 


SECTION 6.07.       
Compensation and Indemnity. The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay to the Trustee such compensation
as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation
for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s
agents and counsel. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable and documented disbursements,
advances and expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s
agents and counsel.


 


The Company and the
Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and protect the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents,
employees, officers and directors for and to hold them harmless against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, or expense
(including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel and taxes, other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined
by the income of the Trustee) and court costs incurred by it arising out of or in connection with this Indenture or the
administration of this trust, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including,
without limitation, this provision) against the Company and of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company,
the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person), except as set forth in the next paragraph. The Trustee shall notify the Company and
the Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; however, failure to give such notice shall not relieve the
Company or the Guarantors of their obligations. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.
The Trustee may have separate counsel, and the Company and the Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


 






    50


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse any fee or expense or indemnify against any loss,
liability, damage, claim or expense incurred by the Trustee through its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as found by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment).


 


To secure the payment obligations
of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property
held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, and
interest on the Securities. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.


 


When the Trustee incurs expenses
or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.


 


SECTION 6.08.       
Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective
only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 6.08.


 


The Trustee may resign and
be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company and the Guarantors. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may
remove the Trustee if:


 


(i)                
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;


 


(ii)             
the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy
Law;


 


(iii)           
a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or


 


(iv)            
the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.


 


If the Trustee resigns or
is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company and the Guarantors shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.


 


If a successor Trustee does
not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s expense),
the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 






    51


     


    

 


If the Trustee fails to comply
with Section 6.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Trustee.


 


A successor Trustee shall
deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company and the Guarantors. Thereupon, the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 6.07. Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under Section 6.07 shall continue
for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.


 


SECTION 6.09.       
Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. Subject to Section 6.10, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers
all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another business entity, such entity without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee; provided, however, that in the case of a transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to another
corporation, the transferee corporation expressly assumes all of the Trustee’s liabilities hereunder.


 


In case any Securities shall
have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the
Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force
which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.


 


SECTION 6.10.       
Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, shall be subject to supervision or examination
by Federal or State (or the District of Columbia) authority and shall have, or be a Subsidiary of a bank or bank holding company having,
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.


 


ARTICLE VII

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE


 


SECTION 7.01.       
Termination of Company’s and Guarantors’ Obligations.


 


(a)              
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Securities
(except as provided in the last paragraph of this Section 7.01(a)), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:


 






    52


     


    

 


(1)              
either


 


(A)            
 all outstanding Securities theretofore authenticated and issued (other than destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities that
have been replaced or paid) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or


 


(B)             
all outstanding Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation:


 


(i)       have
become due and payable,


 


(ii)       will
become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or


 


(iii)       will
be scheduled for redemption by their terms within one year, and the Company, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above or this clause (iii),
has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as funds (immediately available to the Holders in the case of clause (i)) in
trust for such purpose an amount of cash or, in the case of clause (ii) or this clause (iii), U.S. Government Obligations or a combination
thereof which, together with earnings thereon, will be sufficient, in the case of clause (ii) or this clause (iii), in the opinion of
a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee,
to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities for principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest
to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date,
as the case may be;


 


(2)              
the Company has paid all other sums payable by it hereunder with respect the Securities; and


 


(3)              
the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities have been complied with, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect.


 


However, the Company’s
obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.06, 2.07, 3.02 and 7.01, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in Sections 6.07, 6.08
and 7.04 and the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 7.03 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture until the Securities are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations
in Section 6.07 and the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 7.03 shall survive with respect to the Securities.


 


(b)              
Legal Defeasance. The Company and the Guarantors may, subject as provided herein, terminate by legal defeasance all of their
obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities if:


 


(i)                 the
Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of
making the following payments dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders of such Securities (A) cash in an amount, or (B) U.S.
Government Obligations, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay, without consideration of the
reinvestment of any such amounts and after payment of all taxes or other charges or assessments in respect thereof payable by the
Trustee, the principal of and premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any and interest on all Securities on each date that such
principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest is due and payable and to pay all other sums payable by it
hereunder with respect to the Securities; provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or
the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of said principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and
interest with respect to the Securities as the same shall become due;


 






    53


     


    

 



 


(ii)            the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to such legal defeasance
have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect;


 


(iii)           no
Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar
as clauses (iv) and (v) of Section 5.01 are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit
(it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);


 


(iv)          the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the
effect that, based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in U.S. Federal income tax law occurring after the date of
this Indenture, the Holders of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of
the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 7.01(b) and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised;


 


(v)           such
deposit and legal defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument
to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound; and


 


(vi)          the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that after the passage of 91 days following
the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally.


 


In such event, payment of
the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default, Article IX and the other provisions of this Indenture shall cease
to be of further effect (except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging such legal defeasance.


 




    54


     


    

 


However, the Company’s
obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.06, 2.07, 3.02 and 7.01, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in Sections 6.07, 6.08
and 7.04 and the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 7.03 shall survive such legal defeasance with respect
to the Securities until the Securities are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations
in Section 6.07 and the Trustee’s and Paying Agent’s obligations in Section 7.03 shall survive with respect to the Securities.


 


(c)           Covenant Defeasance. The Company and the Guarantors may, subject as provided herein, be released from their respective obligations
to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation, set forth in Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09 and
4.01 and in Article IX, and such omission to comply with any of Sections 3.07, 3.08, 3.09 and 4.01 and Article IX shall not constitute
an Event of Default with respect to the Securities under Section 5.01 (“Covenant Defeasance”), with the remainder of this
Indenture and such Securities unaffected thereby if:


 


(i)             the
Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making
the following payments dedicated solely to the benefit of the Holders of the Securities (A) cash in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government
Obligations, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay, without consideration of the reinvestment of any such
amounts and after payment of all taxes or other charges or assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, the principal of and
premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any and interest on all Securities on each date that such principal, premium, if any, Additional
Amounts, if any, or interest is due and payable and to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder with respect to the Securities; provided
that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money and/or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to
the payment of said principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest with respect to the Securities as the same shall
become due;


 


(ii)            the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the Covenant Defeasance
contemplated by this provision have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect;


 


(iii)           no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit
or, insofar as clauses (iv) and (v) of Section 5.01 are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date
of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);


 


(iv)          the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from nationally recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the
effect that the Holders of Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of the
Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 7.01(c) and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised;


 




    55


     


    

 


(v)           such
Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to
which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound; and


 


(vi)          the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that after the passage of 91 days following
the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally.


 


(d)           In order to have money available on a payment date to pay principal of or premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest
on the Securities, the U.S. Government Obligations shall be payable as to principal or interest on or before such payment date in such
amounts as will provide the necessary money. U.S. Government Obligations shall not be callable at the issuer’s option.


 


(e)           The
Company may exercise its option under Section 7.01(b) notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option under Section
7.01(c).


 


SECTION 7.02.     Application
of Trust Money. The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government
Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 7.01. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations
through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and premium, if any, Additional Amounts,
if any, and interest on Securities with respect to which the deposit was made.


 


The Company will pay and indemnify
the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge
which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities.


 


SECTION 7.03.     Repayment
to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon written request any excess money or securities
held by them at any time. Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts,
if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall have become due; provided, however,
that the Company shall have either caused notice of such payment to be sent to each Holder entitled thereto no less than 30 days prior
to such repayment or within such period shall have published such notice in a financial newspaper of widespread circulation published
in The City of New York. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as unsecured
general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying
Agent with respect to such money shall cease.


 


SECTION 7.04.     Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance
with Section 7.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the
Company and the Guarantors under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 7.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with Section 7.01; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantors have made any payment of principal of or interest
on the Securities because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee
or the Paying Agent.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENTS


 


SECTION 8.01.     Without Consent of Holders. The Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or any of
the Securities or waive any provision hereof or thereof without the consent of any Holder:


 


(i)             to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities any property or assets;


 


(ii)            to
evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or the Guarantors, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor
Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company or a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.01 or 9.03;


 


(iii)           to
add to the covenants of the Company or the Guarantors such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Company or
the Guarantors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities, to surrender any right or power
herein conferred upon the Company or the Guarantors, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any
such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default with respect to the Securities permitting the enforcement
of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture, provided that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction,
condition or provision such amendment or supplement may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter
or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default
or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities to waive such an Event of Default;


 


(iv)           to
cure any ambiguity or omission or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may
be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, provided that no such action
shall adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities;


 




    57


     


    

 


(v)           to
provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, provided that the uncertificated Securities
are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code;


 


(vi)          to
provide for the issuance of Additional Securities and related Guarantees in accordance with this Indenture;


 


(vii)         to
effect any provision of this Indenture;


 


(viii)       
to release the Guarantee of any Guarantor in accordance with Section 9.05 of this Indenture;


 


(ix)           to
conform the text of this Indenture or the Securities to the “Description of the Notes” set forth in the Offering Memorandum
to the extent such provision in the “Description of the Notes” was intended to be a verbatim, or substantially verbatim,
recitation of such provision if this Indenture or the Securities (which intent may be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to
such effect); or


 


(x)            to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of the Securities.


 


Upon the request of the Company
and the Guarantors and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company
and the Guarantors in the execution of any supplemental indenture entered into to effect any such amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


SECTION 8.02.     With Consent of Holders. Except as provided in Section 8.01 or below in this Section 8.02, the Company, the Guarantors and
the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities with the consent (including consents obtained in connection with
a tender offer or exchange offer for such Securities or a solicitation of consents in respect of such Securities, provided that in each
case such offer or solicitation is made to all Holders of the Securities then outstanding on equal terms) of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding affected thereby.


 


The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company or the Guarantors
with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
for such Securities or a solicitation of consents in respect of such Securities, provided that in each case such offer or solicitation
is made to all Holders of the Securities then outstanding on equal terms).


 


Upon the request of the Company
and the Guarantors and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any
supplemental indenture entered into to effect any such amendment, supplement or waiver. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under
this Section 8.02 becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders of the Securities affected thereby a notice briefly describing
the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in
any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.


 




    58


     


    

 


It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver,
but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.


 


Without the consent of each
Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 8.02 may not:


 


(i)            extend
the final maturity of the principal of any of the Securities;


 


(ii)            reduce the principal amount of any of the Securities;


 


(iii)           reduce
the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, including defaulted interest, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any of the Securities;


 


(iv)          reduce
any amount payable on redemption of any of the Securities (other than as a result of the shortening of the required notice period for
redemption);


 


(v)           change the currency in which the principal of or premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on any of the Securities
is payable;


 


(vi)          impair
the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest
on any Security pursuant to Sections 5.07 and 5.08, except as limited by Section 5.06;


 


(vii)         change
the ranking of the Securities or the Guarantees thereof;


 


(viii)        make
any change in the percentage of principal amount of the Securities necessary to waive compliance with or to modify certain provisions
of this Indenture pursuant to Section 5.04 or 5.07 or this clause of this Section 8.02; or


 


(ix)           waive
a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest,
including defaulted interest, on the Securities.


 


The right of any Holder to
participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of this Indenture (and the obligation of the Company to obtain
any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of
record of the Securities as of a record date fixed by the Company in accordance with Section 8.04 of this Indenture.


 


SECTION 8.03.     [Reserved].


 


SECTION 8.04.     Revocation
and Effect of Consents. A consent to an amendment, a supplement or a waiver by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder
and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the
consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion
of a Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation at any time prior to (but not after) the date the Trustee receives
an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have consented (and
not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.


 




    59


     


    

 


The Company may, but shall
not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or
waiver or to take any other action with respect to the Securities under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding
the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at the close of business on such record date (or
their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke
any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date, and for this purpose the Securities
then outstanding shall be computed as of such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record
date unless consents from Holders of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities required hereunder for such amendment, supplement
or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.


 


After an amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (i) through (viii) of Section
8.02. In such case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.


 


SECTION 8.05.     Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment or supplement changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require
the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed
terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation
or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement.


 


SECTION 8.06.     Trustee
to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article VIII if the supplemental
indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need
not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall receive, and subject to Section 6.01, shall
be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate, as conclusive evidence that
all conditions precedent to such supplemental indenture have been complied with, that such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted
by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company and the Guarantors in
accordance with its terms.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTEES OF SECURITIES


 


SECTION 9.01.     Unconditional
Guarantees.


 


(a)           For value received, each of the Guarantors hereby fully, irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the Holders
and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the
Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Securities by the Company (including, without limitation,
all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in connection with the
enforcement of this Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees) (collectively, the “Indenture Obligations”), when and as
such principal, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest and such other amounts shall become due and payable, whether
at the Stated Maturity, upon redemption or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and this
Indenture. The guarantees by the Guarantors set forth in this Article IX are referred to herein as the “Guarantees.” Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Indenture
Obligations and would be owed by the Company under this Indenture and the Securities but for the fact that they are unenforceable, reduced,
limited, impaired, suspended or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the
Company.


 


(b)           Failing
payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantees, for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be obligated to pay the
same immediately to the Trustee, without set-off or counterclaim or other reduction whatsoever (whether for taxes, withholding or otherwise).
The Guarantees of the Upper Tier Notes Guarantors and Nabors Bermuda are intended to be general, unsecured, senior obligations of such
Guarantors and to rank pari passu in right of payment with all indebtedness of such Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly
subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantees of such Guarantor. The Guarantees of the Lower Tier Notes Guarantors will be unsecured
obligations and will be subordinated in right of payment to guarantees by the Lower Tier Notes Guarantors of Senior Guaranteed Debt,
including obligations under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, as a result of the Subordination Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall be full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of the obligations and liabilities of any other obligor with respect to the Securities, the Guarantees or this Indenture, the absence
of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof with respect
to the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor.


 


Each Guarantor hereby
agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on
the Securities or any other amounts payable under this Indenture and such Securities by the Company, whether at the Stated Maturity,
upon redemption or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the
Holders or, subject to Section 5.06, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against such
Guarantor to enforce the Guarantees without first proceeding against the
Company, subject to the provisions of the Subordination Agreement.


 




    61


     


    

 


(c)           To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Article IX shall be as aforesaid full, irrevocable,
unconditional and absolute and except as set forth in this Article IX shall not be impaired, modified, discharged, released or limited
by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension,
indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of any other obligor with respect to the Securities
or this Indenture, (ii) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability of the Company, any Guarantor or any of
their respective estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future
provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (iii) the assertion or exercise by the
Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under any of the Securities or this Indenture or its delay in or failure
to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for any
of the Securities, including all or any part of the rights of the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture, (v) the extension of
the time for payment by the Company or any Guarantor of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of
the terms and provisions of any of the Securities or this Indenture or of the time for performance by the Company or any Guarantor of
any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (vi) the
modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation set forth in this Indenture of any other
obligor with respect to the Securities, (vii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit
of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, any of the Company
or any Guarantor or any of its assets, or the disaffirmance of any of the Securities, the Guarantees or this Indenture in any such proceeding,
(viii) the release or discharge of the Company or any Guarantor from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or
condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (ix) the unenforceability of any of the obligations of any of the
other obligors under the Securities, the Guarantees or this Indenture, (x) any change in the name, business, capital structure, corporate
existence, or ownership of the Company or any Guarantor, or (xi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, a surety or any Guarantor.


 


(d)           Each Guarantor hereby (i) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, notice of acceptance, filing of claims with a court
in the event of the merger, amalgamation, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any Guarantor, and all demands and notices whatsoever,
(ii) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantees may be transferred and that the benefit of its
obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantees without notice to
them and (iii) covenants that its Guarantees will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantees or of the obligations
guaranteed thereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person
to the Guarantees is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of such Guarantor, the Guarantees shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned,
be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantees shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, as though such application had not been made.


 




    62


     


    

 


(e)           Each
Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such
Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to
receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation with respect to any of the Securities until all of the
Securities and the Guarantees thereof shall have been paid in full or discharged.


 


(f)            No
failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, power, privilege or remedy under
this Article IX and the Guarantees shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any rights, power,
privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies.
The rights and remedies herein provided for are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided in law or equity. Nothing
contained in this Article IX shall limit the right of the Trustee or the Holders to take any action to accelerate the Maturity of the
Securities pursuant to Article V or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law.


 


SECTION 9.02.    Execution
and Delivery of Notation of Guarantees. To further evidence the Guarantees, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such
Guarantees may be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that such notation shall be executed by either
manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of such Guarantor.


 


Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that its Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of the Guarantees.


 


If an Officer of any Guarantor
whose signature is on this Indenture or a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security or
at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s guarantee of such Security shall be valid nevertheless.


 


The delivery of any Security
by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantees set forth in this Indenture
on behalf of the Guarantors.


 


SECTION 9.03.     Guarantors
May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. (a) A Guarantor may consolidate, merge or enter into a scheme of arrangement qualifying
as an amalgamation with any Person or sell, lease, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to
any Person and (b) the Capital Stock of a Guarantor may be sold or otherwise disposed of to another Person; provided, however,
that in the case of the consolidation, merger or scheme or arrangement qualifying as an amalgamation or sale, lease, conveyance, transfer
or disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor or the sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor,
if such other Person is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee must be expressly assumed
by such other Person, except in connection with a transaction in which the Guarantee of such Guarantor would be released as provided
in Section 9.05; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, the release provisions in Section 9.05 shall not apply to any
such sale, transfer or other disposition described in this Section 9.03 to Nabors Bermuda or any Affiliate of Nabors Bermuda.


 




    63


     


    

 


SECTION 9.04.    Luxembourg:
Guarantee Limitation. The guarantee granted by any Guarantor which is incorporated and established in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg
(a “Luxembourg Guarantor”) under this this Article IX shall be limited at any time to an aggregate amount not exceeding
the higher of: 99% of such Luxembourg Guarantor's capitaux propres (as referred to in article 34 of the Luxembourg law dated 19
December 2002 on the commercial register and annual accounts, as amended (the “2002 Law”), and as implemented by the
Grand-Ducal regulation dated 18 December 2015 setting out the form and the content of the presentation of the balance sheet and profit
and loss account (the “Regulation”)) determined as at the date on which a demand is made under the guarantee, increased
by the amount of any Intra-Group Liabilities; and 99% of such Luxembourg Guarantor's capitaux propres (as referred to in article
34 of the 2002 Law) determined as at the date of this Agreement, increased by the amount of any Intra-Group Liabilities. The amount of
the capitaux propres under this this Article IX shall be determined by the Trustee acting in its sole commercially reasonable
discretion and shall be adjusted (by derogation to the rules contained in the 2002 Law and the Regulation) to take into account the fair
value rather than book value of the assets of such Luxembourg Guarantor.


 


For the purpose of this Clause,
 “Intra-Group Liabilities” shall mean any amounts owed by such Luxembourg Guarantor to any other member of the group and that
have not been financed (directly or indirectly) by any amounts raised in relation to the Securities. The above limitation shall not apply
(a) in respect of any amounts due by a direct or indirect subsidiary of that Luxembourg Guarantor in relation to the Securities and (b)
in respect of any amounts due by any person which is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of that Luxembourg Guarantor in relation to the
Securities and which have been on-lent to or made available by whatever means, directly or indirectly, to that Luxembourg Guarantor or
any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.


 


SECTION 9.05.      Releases.


 


(a)           The Guarantee of a Guarantor (other than, in the case of clause (iv) below, the Guarantee of Nabors Bermuda) will be automatically
released with respect to the Securities:


 


(i)             upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, merger or scheme or arrangement qualifying as an amalgamation)
of a Guarantor, including the sale or disposition of Capital Stock of a Guarantor, following which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary
of Nabors Bermuda,


 


(ii)            the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets (including by way of consolidation, merger or scheme or arrangement
qualifying as an amalgamation) of a Guarantor,


 


(iii)           if
the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to the Securities or if the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture are satisfied and discharged in accordance with Article VII with respect to the Securities; or

SECTION 10.01.   Notices
to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem the Securities pursuant to the redemption provisions of Section 10.07, it shall furnish
to the Trustee, at least five days before notice of such redemption is to be given pursuant to Section 10.03 (unless a shorter period
is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Redemption Date, the principal amount of such Securities
to be redeemed, the redemption price (or the method of calculating the redemption price) and, if the redemption of such Securities is

    65


     


    

 


SECTION 10.03.    Notices
to Holders.


 


(a)            At
least 20 days (or in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 10.08, 10 days) but not more than 75 days before a Redemption
Date, the Company shall give in conformity with Section 11.02 a notice of redemption to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.
The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP, ISIN or similar numbers, if any) and shall state:


 


(i)             the Redemption Date;


 


(ii)            the redemption price (or the method of calculating the redemption price);


 


(iii)           if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after
the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
will be issued;


 


(iv)          the name and address of the Paying Agent;


 


(v)           that
Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent at the address specified in such notice to collect the redemption
price;


 


(vi)          that
unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after
the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying
Agent of the Securities;


 


(vii)         the paragraph of the Securities and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Securities are being redeemed;


 


(viii)        that
no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities;


 


(ix)           the
aggregate principal amount of Securities being redeemed; and


 


(x)            any condition precedent to such redemption.


 


If any of the Securities to
be redeemed is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the
procedures of the Depositary applicable to redemptions.


 


(b)           At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice required in Section 10.03(a) in the Company’s name; provided, however,
that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 15 days prior to the requested delivery date (unless the Trustee consents in
writing to a shorter period), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information
to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 10.03(a).


 




    66


     


    

 


SECTION 10.04.    Effect
of Notices of Redemption. Notice of redemption may be given and any redemption of Securities may, at the Company’s
discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the consummation of a financing transaction or equity
issuance, the proceeds of which are to be used to fund such redemption; provided that, if notice of redemption is given pursuant to
Section 10.03, and such notice does not include a condition precedent to be satisfied in order for the Company to be obligated to
redeem the Securities, the Securities called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption
price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of Securities called for redemption, such Securities shall be paid out at the redemption
price, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date is
after the taking of a record of the Holders on a record date and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and
unpaid interest shall be payable to the Person in whose name the redeemed Securities are registered on such record date. Failure to
give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.


 


SECTION 10.05.   
Deposit of Redemption Price. At or prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent immediately available funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of all Securities to be redeemed
on that date, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall
return to the Company any money not required for that purpose less the expenses of the Trustee as provided herein.


 


If the Company complies with
the preceding paragraph, interest on the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed (whether or not such Securities are presented for
payment) will cease to accrue on the applicable Redemption Date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, then interest will be paid on the unpaid principal, premium,
if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, from the Redemption Date until such principal, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any,
are paid and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Securities
and in Section 3.01.


 


SECTION 10.06.   
Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee
shall authenticate for the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of
the Security surrendered.


 


SECTION 10.07.   
Optional Redemption.


 


(a)              
On or after May 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the redemption
prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on the Securities, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on
May 15 of the years indicated below:


 


	Year	 	Percentage	 
	2024	 	 	103.688	%
	2025	 	 	101.844	%
	2026 and thereafter	 	 	100.000	%



 




    67


     


    

 


(b)       At
any time and from time to time prior to May 15, 2024, upon giving notice as provided in Section 10.03 of this Indenture, the Company
may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities with an aggregate amount less than or equal to the cash
proceeds less any underwriting spread paid in cash of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 107.375% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date; provided, however,
that, at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (excluding any Additional Securities of such series)
must remain outstanding immediately after each such redemption; provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 180 days
after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated.


 


(c)       At
any time prior to May 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole at any time and in part from time to time, upon giving
notice as provided in Section 10.03 of this Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
to be redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.


 


Notice
of any redemption may be given and any redemption of Securities may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions
precedent and any redemption pursuant to this Section 10.07 shall be made, to the extent applicable, pursuant to the provisions
of Sections 10.01 through 10.06.


 


SECTION 10.08.   
Tax Redemption.


 


(a)            The
Securities will be subject to redemption by the Company, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding
principal amount of the Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (including
any Additional Amounts) at any time prior to their maturity if, due to a Change in Tax Law (as defined below):


 


(i)            the Company or a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Securities or a Guarantee has, or would, become obligated to pay,
on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Securities or a Guarantee, any Additional Amounts to the Holders
of the Securities; and


 


(ii)            such
obligation cannot be avoided by such Guarantor or the Company taking reasonable measures available to it (including, in the case of a
payment by a Guarantor, taking reasonable measures to have the Company or another Guarantor make the relevant payment if this would avoid
the obligation to pay Additional Amounts).


 


(b)           In
such case, the Company may redeem the Securities upon not less than 10 days nor more than 75 days’ notice provided, that, (i) no
such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or such Guarantor, as the
case may be, would be obligated to pay any such Additional Amounts in respect of the Securities or applicable Guarantee and (ii) at the
time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. The Company’s right to redeem the
Securities pursuant to this Section 10.08 shall continue as long as the Company or a Guarantor is obligated to pay such Additional Amounts,
notwithstanding that the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have made payments of Additional Amounts. Prior to the
giving of any such notice of redemption, the Company must deliver to the Trustee: (1) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the
Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right
of the Company so to redeem have occurred; and (2) an Opinion of Counsel or an independent accountant of recognized standing, selected
by the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, with respect to tax matters of the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to the effect
that the Company or such Guarantor has, or would, become obligated to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law
and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction
of the conditions precedent in which event they shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Securities. For the purposes of
this Section 10.08, “Change in Tax Law” shall mean any changes in, or amendment to, any law of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction
(including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder and including, for this purpose, any treaty entered into by the Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction) or any amendment to or change in the application or official interpretation (including judicial or administrative
interpretation) of such law, which change or amendment becomes effective or, in the case of an official interpretation, is announced,
on or after the date of this Indenture (or, if later, on or after the date on which such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant
Taxing Jurisdiction).


 




    68


     


    

 


Any redemption pursuant to
this Section 10.08 shall be made, to the extent applicable, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 10.01 through 10.06.


 


The foregoing provisions will
apply mutatis mutandis to any successor person, after such successor person becomes a party to this Indenture, with respect to a Change
in Tax Law occurring after the time such successor person becomes a party to this Indenture.

and enforcement.


 


SECTION 11.12.

7.375% SENIOR PRIORITY GUARANTEED NOTE DUE
2027


 


This Security is one of a
duly authorized issue of 7.375% Senior Priority Guaranteed Notes due 2027 (the “Securities”) of Nabors Industries, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”).


 


1.       Interest. The
Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at a rate of 7.375% per annum until Maturity. The Company will
pay interest semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning [         ], or
if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest on this Security will accrue from the most recent
Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from [              ]; provided that if there is no existing
Default in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. Further, to the extent lawful,
the Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal, premium,
if any, Additional Amounts, if any, and interest (without regard to any applicable grace period), from time to time on demand at the rate
then in effect on the Securities. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


2.       Method
of Payment. The Company will pay interest on this Security (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of
this Security at the close of business on the record date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if this Security is canceled
after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect
payments of principal and premium, if any. The Company will pay the principal of and premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any,
and interest on this Security in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, Additional
Amounts, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository
Trust Company. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium, if any, Additional
Amounts, if any, and interest) at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose or, at its option, by mailing a
check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security will be made by wire
transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer
by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately
preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

that certain of the Guarantees are subject to the Subordination Agreement described in the Indenture. References herein to the Indenture

6.       Indenture.
The Company issued this Security under an Indenture dated as of November 23, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, (the “Trustee”).
The terms of this Security include those stated in the Indenture. This Security and the Guarantees are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling (to the extent permitted by law). The Securities
are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company initially has issued $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities. The
Company may issue Additional Securities of the same series as this Security under the Indenture, provided that a separate CUSIP
will be used for any Additional Securities that are not “fungible” for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Securities

terms in the Indenture.

documents and to pay any transfer tax or similar governmental charge or other fee required by law and payable in connection therewith.
The Registrar need not exchange or register the transfer of this Security during the period between a record date and the corresponding
Interest Payment Date.


 


8.       Persons
Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.


 


9.       Amendments
and Waivers. The Securities are subject to the amendment and waiver provisions set forth in Article VIII of the Indenture.


 









     A-3


     


    

 


10.       Defaults
and Remedies. The Events of Default and remedies of the Holders pertaining to the Securities are set forth in Article V of the Indenture.


 


11.       Additional
Amounts. If the Company or any Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes for any payment
made under or with respect to this Security, it will, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.08 of the Indenture, pay any Additional
Amounts.


 


12.       Discharge
or Defeasance Prior to Maturity. The Indenture shall be satisfied and discharged with respect to this Security upon the payment of
all of the Securities, and it may be satisfied and discharged (except for certain obligations) upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee
of cash, or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient for such payment. The Indenture also contains provisions for
defeasance of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Company on the Securities and (ii) certain restrictive covenants and the related
Events of Default with respect to this Security, subject to compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.


 


13.       Trustee
Dealings with the Company and the Guarantors. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of this Security and may otherwise deal with the Company, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have
if it were not the Trustee.


 


14.       No
Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company or the Guarantors, as such, shall not have any
liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under this Security, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based
on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting this Security waives and releases all such
liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of this Security.


 


15.       Authentication.
This Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by
the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee, which signature shall be conclusive evidence that this Security has been
authenticated under the Indenture.


 


16.       CUSIP
Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has
caused a CUSIP number to be printed on this Security as a convenience to the Holders of this Security. No representation is made as to
the correctness of such number either as printed on this Security or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may
be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on this Security.

by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A

SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT


 


SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT,
dated as of October 29, 2020 (this “Agreement”), by and among CITIBANK, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent
under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Agent”),
HSBC BANK CANADA, as the Canadian Lender (the “Canadian Lender”), NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD., a Bermuda exempted company
(“Holdings”), NABORS INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the undersigned
subsidiaries of Holdings and each other person that becomes a party hereto after the date hereof in accordance with Section 7 below (the
 “Specified Subsidiary Guarantors”; and together with Holdings and the Borrower, collectively, “Obligors”)
and Wilmington Trust, National Association, solely in its capacity as trustee under the Initial Indenture (as defined below) (the “Initial
Trustee”) for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Notes (as defined below) and each other representative for the holders
of Pari Passu Obligations (as defined below) that becomes a party hereto after the date hereof in accordance with Section 8 below (each
an “Additional Trustee” and, together with the Initial Trustee, each a “Trustee”).


 


Pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
dated as of October 11, 2018 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), by and among Holdings, the Borrower, as “US Borrower”, Nabors Drilling Canada Limited, as “Canadian
Borrower”, the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors, as “Guarantors” and the other subsidiaries of the Borrower from time
to time party thereto, as “Guarantors”, the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto and the Agent, among
other things, (i) the lenders and issuing banks have provided commitments to make loans and provide other accommodations to the Borrower
and its subsidiaries and (ii) the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors have provided an unconditional guarantee in full of the Senior Obligations
(as defined below). Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.


 


Pursuant to the Indenture,
dated as of October 29, 2020 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Initial
Indenture”), by and among the Borrower, as issuer, Holdings, the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors and certain other subsidiaries
of Holdings, as guarantors, and the Trustee, Holdings has issued $50,485,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.5% Senior Priority Guaranteed
Notes due 2025 (the “Initial Notes”).


 


From time to time after the
date hereof, one or more of the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors may incur indebtedness, whether as an issuer, borrower, guarantor or other
obligor under one or more other indentures or other instruments to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement and each other Indenture
(any such indenture or other instrument, an “Additional Indenture” and, together with the Initial Indenture, each an
 “Indenture”; and the notes issued under any such Additional Indenture, the “Additional Notes” and,
together with the Initial Notes, collectively, the “Notes”).


 


As a condition to the
Specified Subsidiary Guarantors providing a guarantee of the Subordinated Obligations (as defined below) (the “Subsidiary
Notes Guarantee”), pursuant to Section 9.06(n) of the Credit Agreement, the Obligors and each Trustee are required to
execute and deliver to the Agent counterparts of this Agreement (or in the case of an Additional Trustee, a duly executed joinder
hereto in accordance with Section 8).


 






     


     


    

 


Accordingly, (a) the
Agent, on behalf of itself, the US Lenders and US Issuing Banks and any other holder of US Obligations and (b) the Canadian Lender, on
behalf of itself, and any other holder of Canadian Obligations (each person referenced in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b),
together with their respective successors and assigns, collectively, the “Senior Parties”), the Obligors and each Trustee,
on behalf of itself, the holders of the applicable Notes and any other holder of Subordinated Obligations (together with their respective
successors and assigns, collectively, the “Subordinated Parties”), hereby agree as follows:


 


SECTION 1. Subordination.


 


(a)    Each Trustee on
behalf of itself and the other Subordinated Parties hereby agrees that the Subordinated Obligations shall be subordinate and junior in
right of payment to the (i) Obligations of each Specified Subsidiary Guarantor (whether now existing or from time to time after the date
hereof incurred, assumed, created or arising) and (ii) Permitted Guaranteed Bilateral Letter of Credit Facilities with a US Lender or
an affiliate thereof (whether now existing or from time to time after the date hereof incurred, assumed, created or arising), including
the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest (including, without limitation, interest accruing on or after the filing of any Insolvency
Proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed or allowable in any such Insolvency Proceeding), fees, charges,
expenses, indemnities, reimbursement obligations and all other amounts payable thereunder or in respect thereof, in each case whether
or not any of the foregoing is allowed or allowable as a claim in any Insolvency Proceeding (collectively, the “Senior Obligations”).
For purposes hereof, “Subordinated Obligations” means all obligations of the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors to the
Subordinated Parties (whether now existing or from time to time after the date hereof incurred, assumed, created or arising) under each
Indenture, including each Subsidiary Notes Guarantee, including, in each case to the extent constituting obligations thereunder, the payment
of principal, premium (if any), interest (including, without limitation, interest accruing on or after the filing of any Insolvency Proceeding
pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed or allowable in any such Insolvency
Proceeding), fees, charges, expenses, indemnities, reimbursement obligations and all other amounts payable thereunder or in respect thereof,
in each case whether or not any of the foregoing is allowed or allowable as a claim in any Insolvency Proceeding. For purposes hereof,
 “Discharge of the Senior Obligations” shall mean that the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in
cash and all commitments of the Senior Parties under the Loan Documents have been terminated (other than any inchoate obligations for
which no claim has been asserted).


 






    2


     


    

 


(b)    The
Obligors, each Trustee and the other Subordinated Parties agree that no payment (whether directly, by purchase, redemption or exercise
of any right of setoff or otherwise) in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, whether as principal, interest or otherwise, and whether
in cash, securities or other property, shall be made by or on behalf of any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor or received, accepted or demanded
from or on behalf of any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of any Subordinated Party (other than
a payment or distribution in the form of debt or equity securities that are subordinated to the Senior Obligations at least to the same
extent as the Subordinated Obligations (“Permitted Junior Securities”)), until Discharge of the Senior Obligations.
In the event that any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets or other property of, or any equity securities or debt
securities issued by, any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, and
whether directly, by purchase, redemption, exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise (other than a payment or distribution in the
form of Permitted Junior Securities), including without limitation, in connection with a plan of reorganization or other Insolvency Proceeding
with respect to such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor, shall be received by or on behalf of any Subordinated Party or any Affiliate thereof
at a time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be held by any Subordinated
Party or its Affiliate in trust (segregated from other property of any Subordinated Party or its Affiliate) for the benefit of, and shall
forthwith be paid over to, the Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Parties, until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations. For the avoidance
of doubt, the foregoing does not limit the ability of Holdings to make payments of principal, premium (if any), interest, fees, charges,
expenses, indemnities, reimbursement obligations and other amounts payable in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.


 


(c)    The provisions
of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of an Insolvency Proceeding (as defined below)
against any Obligor or any of its properties or assets until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations. Upon any distribution of the assets
of a Specified Subsidiary Guarantor or upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor,
whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceedings or otherwise, or upon any assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor, or otherwise (any
of the foregoing, an “Insolvency Proceeding”):


 


(i)             the
Senior Parties shall first be entitled to Discharge of the Senior Obligations before the Subordinated Parties shall be entitled to receive
any payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Obligations, whether of principal, interest or otherwise; and


 


(ii)            any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, or any debt or equity securities issued by, such Specified Subsidiary
Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, to which any Subordinated Party would be entitled except
for the provisions of this Section 1 shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution (whether a trustee
in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Parties,
until Discharge of the Senior Obligations.


 


In addition, each Trustee, agrees that in
connection with any Insolvency Proceeding (i) the Agent, on behalf of the Senior Parties, is irrevocably authorized and empowered
(in its own name or in the name of the Subordinated Parties or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect
and receive every payment or distribution referred to in the preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and
proofs of claim and take such other action as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of
the rights or interest of the Senior Parties and (ii) each Subordinated Party shall duly and promptly take such action as the Agent,
on behalf of the Senior Parties, may request to (A) collect amounts in respect of the applicable Subordinated Obligations for the
account of the Senior Parties and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of such Subordinated Obligations, (B)
execute and deliver to the Agent such irrevocable powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as the Agent, on behalf of
the Senior Parties, may request in order to enable the Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subordinated
Obligations and (C) collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with
respect to the applicable Subordinated Obligations. A copy of this Agreement may be filed with any court as evidence of the Senior
Parties’ right, power and authority hereunder.


 






    3


     


    

 


(d)    The Obligors and
each Subordinated Party agree that, prior to the Discharge of the Senior Obligations, no Subordinated Party may take any Enforcement Action
against any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor without the prior written consent of the Agent (acting upon the direction of the US Required
Lenders) and the Canadian Lender, unless:


 


(i)             the
occurrence of, with respect to such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor, an Insolvency Proceeding;


 


(ii)            the holders of Senior Obligations have taken any Enforcement Action in relation to such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor; or


 


(iii)           an
event of default has occurred under the applicable Indenture in respect of the applicable Subordinated Obligations (a “Subordinated
Debt Default”); and


 


(A)    the applicable Subordinated Parties have provided notice of the Subordinated Debt Default to the Senior Parties in accordance with
Section 11 hereof;


 


(B)    a
period of not less than (i) 90 days (in the case of a payment default) or (ii) or 179 days (in the case of a non-payment default) has
passed from the date the Agent and the Senior Parties were first notified of the Subordinated Debt Default (a “Standstill Period”);
and


 


(C)    at
the end of the Standstill Period, the Subordinated Debt Default is continuing and has not been cured or waived.


 


For the purposes hereof, “Enforcement
Action” means, in relation to or with respect to any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor, any action (whether taken by the relevant
creditor or creditors or an agent or trustee on its or their behalf) to: (i) demand payment, declare prematurely due and payable or otherwise
seek to accelerate payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations, (ii) recover all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations
(including, by exercising any rights of set-off or combination of accounts), (iii) exercise or enforce any rights under or pursuant to
the Subsidiary Notes Guarantee, (iv) commence legal proceedings against such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor or (v) commence, or take
any other steps which could lead to the commencement of, an Insolvency Proceeding concerning such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Subordinated Party may in any Insolvency Proceeding concerning any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor: (i) oppose any sale
of assets (including bidding procedures relating thereto) with respect to such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor; (ii) propose any debtor
in possession financing or oppose any debtor in possession financing or use of cash collateral with respect to such Specified Subsidiary
Guarantor, in each case without the consent of the Agent, acting on behalf of the Senior Parties; (iii) seek appointment of a trustee
or examiner with respect to such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor; or (iv) propose, sponsor, vote in favor of, or otherwise support any
plan of reorganization or liquidation with respect to such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor unless such plan (a) provides for Discharge
of the Senior Obligations on or before the effective date of such plan or (b) the Agent, on behalf of the Senior Parties has provided
its prior written consent with respect to such plan.


 






    4


     


    

 


(e)    Each Trustee and
the other Subordinated Parties waive all rights of subrogation they may have with respect to any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor under
the Subordinated Guaranty until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations, and, as between and among such Specified Subsidiary Guarantor,
its creditors (other than the Senior Parties) and the Subordinated Parties, no such payment or distribution made to the Senior Parties
by virtue of this Agreement that otherwise would have been made to the Subordinated Parties shall be deemed to be a payment by such Specified
Subsidiary Guarantor on account of the Subordinated Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this paragraph (e)
are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Parties and the Senior Parties.


 


(f)    Each Subordinated
Party and Specified Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that each Indenture and all other instruments (including the Notes) or records (other
than book entry records) now or hereafter creating or evidencing the Subordinated Obligations, whether upon refunding, extension, renewal,
refinancing, replacement or otherwise, shall contain the following language:


 


“Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, none of the indebtedness created or evidenced by this instrument or record shall become due or be paid or payable
by any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor, except to the extent permitted under the Subordination Agreement dated as of October 29, 2020,
among Nabors Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Nabors Industries Ltd., the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, HSBC
Bank Canada, as Canadian lender, and Citibank, N.A, as administrative agent under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, which is attached
as Exhibit D to the Indenture, which Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein with the same effect as if fully set forth herein”;


 


or shall otherwise refer to and be subject
in all respects to the terms of this Agreement in a manner acceptable to the Agent.


 


(g)    For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing in this Agreement shall affect the rights of payment relative among the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes which shall rank
of equal priority in payment as to each other, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable holders thereof.


 






    5


     


    

 


SECTION 2. Waivers and Consents.


 


(a)    Each
Trustee and the other Subordinated Parties waive the right to compel that any assets or property of any Specified Subsidiary
Guarantor be applied in any particular order to discharge the Senior Obligations. Each Trustee and the other Subordinated Parties
expressly waive the right to require the Senior Parties to proceed against any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor, or to pursue any
other remedy in any Senior Party’s power which the Subordinated Parties cannot pursue and which would lighten the Subordinated
Parties’ burden, notwithstanding that the failure of any Senior Party to do so may thereby prejudice each Subordinated Party.
Each Trustee and the other Subordinated Parties agree that they shall not be discharged, exonerated or have their respective
obligations hereunder to the Senior Parties reduced by any Senior Party’s delay in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy
against any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor; by any Senior Party releasing any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor from all or any part of
the Senior Obligations; or by the discharge of any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor by operation of law or otherwise, with or without
the intervention or omission of a Senior Party. Any Senior Party’s vote to accept or reject any plan of reorganization
relating to any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Senior Party’s receipt on account of the Senior Obligations other than
Discharge of Senior Obligations, shall not discharge, exonerate, or reduce the obligations of any Subordinated Party hereunder to
the Senior Parties.


 


(b)    Each Trustee and
the other Subordinated Parties waive all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Senior Parties, even though
that election of remedies, including any nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Senior Obligations, has impaired the
value of each Subordinated Party’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution against any Specified Subsidiary Guarantor.
Each Subordinated Party expressly waives any rights or defenses it may have by reason of protection afforded to any Specified Subsidiary
Guarantor with respect to the Senior Obligations pursuant to any anti-deficiency laws or other laws of similar import which limit or discharge
the principal debtor’s indebtedness upon judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of real property or personal property securing the
Senior Obligations.


 


(c)    Each Trustee and the other
Subordinated Parties agree that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against any of them, and without notice to or further
assent by any of them, any demand for payment of any Senior Obligations made by a Senior Party may be rescinded in whole or in part by
any Senior Party, and any Senior Obligation may be continued, and the Senior Obligations, or the liability of any Specified Subsidiary
Guarantor or any other guarantor or any other party upon or for any part thereof or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time
to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released by the Senior
Parties, in each case without notice to or further assent by any Subordinated Party (to the extent contemplated by the Indenture), which
will remain bound under this Agreement and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination and other agreements
provided for herein.


 


(d)    Each Trustee and the other
Subordinated Parties waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations and notice
of or proof of reliance by the Senior Parties upon this Agreement. The Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed conclusively
to have been created, contracted or incurred and the consent given to create the obligations of the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors in
respect of the Subordinated Obligations in reliance upon this Agreement, and all dealings between the Specified Subsidiary Guarantors
and the Senior Parties shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Subordinated Party acknowledges
and agrees that the Senior Parties have relied upon the subordination and other agreements provided for herein in consenting to the Subordinated
Obligations. Each Subordinated Party waives notice of or proof of reliance on this Agreement and protest, demand for payment and notice
of default.


 






    6


     


    

 


SECTION 3. Senior
Obligations Unconditional. All rights and interests of the Senior Parties hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of each Subordinated
Party and each Specified Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:


 


 (a)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents;
