(1)  For rigs that may be modified to drill in deeper water depths, both the currently outfitted and maximum upgrade capabilities are shown.
 
(2) Ensco has entered into an interim agreement with a customer that states the intention of both parties to sign a five-year-term contract for ENSCO DS-6 by 1 April 2012. The terms of the proposed five-year-term drilling contract are expected to add more than $1 billion to Ensco’s revenue backlog.
 
Under the terms of the interim agreement, preparations for the customer’s requested and funded rig modifications will begin immediately in Singapore.
 
Under the terms of the proposed five-year-term contract, upon completion of these modifications, the rig would mobilize to its first drilling location and a mobilization fee would be paid by the customer in a lump sum upon completion of acceptance testing. The location of the first drilling assignment and the name of the customer will be announced at a later date if the parties enter into the intended five-year-term contract. Based upon current estimates to complete the customer’s modifications to the rig, ENSCO DS-6 would commence the proposed five-year-term contract in fourth quarter 2012. Collectively, the modification reimbursements, mobilization fee and other revenue would be amortized over the primary five-year contract term.

Definitions and Disclaimers
 
Day Rate Definition. The day rates reflected in this Fleet Status Report are the operating day rates charged to customers, which may include estimated contractual adjustments for changes in operating costs and/or reimbursable cost adjustments for ongoing expenses such as crew, catering, insurance and taxes. The day rates, however, do not include certain types of non-recurring revenues such as lump sum mobilization payments, revenues earned during mobilizations, revenues associated with contract preparation and other non-recurring reimbursable items such as mobilizations and capital enhancements, and the impact of the fair market value adjustments to Pride’s drilling contracts in place on the 31 May 2011 acquisition date.  Routine and non-routine downtime may reduce the actual revenues recognized during the contract term.  Additionally, the Company occasionally negotiates special rates with customers as noted in the comments that reduce revenues recognized during the contract term.
 
Rig Names.   We are in the process of completing name changes on some of our rigs, some of which may not be completed for some time.  For the purpose of our Fleet Status Report, we are using the new names even when the name change has not been completed.  Below is a legend showing the name changes.
