Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement	Note 4 Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement On September 13, 2019, we entered into a $250 million accounts receivable sales facility, consisting of a Receivables Sales Agreement and a Receivables Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “A/R Facility”) whereby certain U.S. operating subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Originators”), sold or contributed, and will on an ongoing basis continue to sell or contribute, certain of their domestic trade accounts receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity (the “SPE” or “Seller”). The SPE in turn sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to third-party financial institutions (the “Purchasers”) all the rights, title and interest in and to its pool of eligible receivables. The sale of these receivables qualified for sale accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 860. During the period of this program, cash receipts from the Purchasers at the time of the sale were classified as operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

On July 13, 2021, we entered into the First Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement which extends the term of the A/R Facility by two years, to August 13, 2023. However, the expiration of the agreement could be accelerated to the earlier of (i) December 31, 2022, if by that date the Company’s 2018 Revolving Credit Facility is not amended to extend its termination date to as least October 11, 2024 and immediately after giving effect to such amendment the consolidated cash balance of the company is not at least $220 million or (ii) July 19, 2022, if any of the 5.5% Senior Notes due 2023 of Nabors Delaware remain outstanding as of such date. The amendment also reduced the commitments of the Purchasers from $250 million to $150 million, with the possibility of being increased up to $200 million. Nabors Delaware and/or another subsidiary of Nabors act as servicers of the sold receivables. The servicers administer, collect and otherwise enforce these receivables and are compensated for doing so on terms that are generally consistent with what would be charged by an unrelated servicer. The servicers initially receive payments made by obligors on the receivables, then remit those payments in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The servicers and the Originators have contingent indemnification obligations to the SPE, and the SPE has contingent indemnification obligations to the Purchasers, in each case customary for transactions of this type. These contingent indemnification obligations are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to an Indemnification Guarantee in favor of the Purchasers. The Purchasers have no recourse for receivables that are uncollectible as a result of the insolvency or inability to pay of the account debtors. The amount available for sale to the Purchasers under the A/R Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after excluding excess concentrations and certain other ineligible receivables. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $84.0 million had been sold to and as yet uncollected by the Purchasers. As of December 31, 2020, the corresponding number was approximately $54.0 million. Trade accounts receivable sold by the SPE to the Purchasers are derecognized from our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to the short-term nature of the receivables and, as a result, no gain or loss on the sale of the receivables was recorded. Trade receivables pledged by the SPE as collateral to the Purchasers (excluding receivables sold to the Purchasers) totaled $40.9 million and $63.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in accounts receivable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The assets of the SPE cannot be used by the Company for general corporate purposes. Additionally, creditors of the SPE do not have recourse to assets of the Company (other than assets of the SPE).
