 Exhibit 10.3 

Execution Copy 
 INCREASE JOINDER NO.
1C 
 This INCREASE JOINDER NO. 1C, dated as of March 1, 2019 (this “Increase Joinder”), is being entered into with respect to the
First Lien Term Loan Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2017 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”), among HORNBECK OFFSHORE SERVICES, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the “Parent Borrower”), HORNBECK OFFSHORE SERVICES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Co-Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto, and WILMINGTON TRUST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent (in
such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders. 
 A.    Section 2.09 of the Term Loan Agreement provides
that Borrowers may, from time to time, request Incremental Term Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. 

B.    The Borrowers desire to incur Incremental Term Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Term Loan Agreement in an
aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “No. 1 Incremental Term Commitments” and the Loans made pursuant to the No. 1 Incremental Term Commitments, the “No. 1 Incremental Term Loans”), a
portion of which in an aggregate principal amount of $28,429,883 is being evidenced pursuant to this Increase Joinder (such Incremental Term Commitments, the “No. IC Incremental Term Commitments”; the Lender providing the No. IC
Incremental Term Commitments, the “No. IC Incremental Term Lender”; and the Loans made pursuant to the No. IC Incremental Term Commitments, the “No. IC Incremental Term Loans”). 

C.    The No. IC Incremental Term Lender desires to provide the No. IC Incremental Term Commitment in the amount of $28,429,883.

 D.    Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Term Loan
Agreement. 
 In consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as follows: 
 SECTION 1.    Increase Joinder. 

(a)    This Increase Joinder is an “Increase Joinder” referenced in Section 2.09(e) of the Term Loan Agreement.
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the No. IC Incremental Term Lender hereby agree that the No. IC Incremental Term Commitments shall become effective upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof (the date on which
such conditions are satisfied, the “Increase Effective Date”). On the Increase Effective Date immediately after the establishment of the No. IC Incremental Term Commitments, the No. IC Incremental Term Lender shall make No. IC
Incremental Term Loans to the Borrowers in the amount of its No. IC Incremental Term Commitments. The No. IC Incremental Term Commitments shall be decreased to $0 immediately after giving effect to the No. IC Incremental Term Loans as contemplated
by the preceding sentence. 
 (b)    Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the No. IC Incremental Term Lender hereby agree that
the No. IC Incremental Term Loans shall have terms identical to those of the Loans outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement immediately prior to the Increase Effective Date, other than to the extent set forth in any Fee Letter (the “Existing
Term Loans”). After giving effect hereto on the Increase Effective Date, the No. IC Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be Loans and the Loans shall be deemed increased by the amount of the No. IC Incremental Term Loans. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the No. IC Incremental Term Loans shall: (i) constitute Indebtedness and have all of the 












 
benefits thereof, (ii) have terms, rights, remedies, privileges and protections identical to those applicable to the Existing Term Loans (other than to the extent set forth in any Fee
Letter) and (iii) be secured by the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Security Instruments. 

(c)    All Interest Periods applicable to Existing Term Loans shall continue in effect after the Increase Effective Date. The No. IC
Incremental Term Loans shall be initially incurred pursuant to a single Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, with such Borrowing to be subject to (x) Interest Periods which commence on the Increase Effective Date and end on the last day of the
Interest Periods applicable to the Existing Term Loans and (y) the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to the Existing Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall update the Register to account for the principal amount of the No. IC Incremental Term
Loans. 
 SECTION 2.    Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Increase
Joinder, each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender party hereto that, on and as of the Increase Effective Date: 

(a)    such Loan Party (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (ii) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this Increase Joinder and (iii) has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
this Increase Joinder; 
 (b)    this Increase Joinder (i) has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party
and (ii) constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity; and 

(c)    the execution, delivery and performance of this Increase Joinder by such Loan Party will not result in a violation by such
Loan Party of any requirement of law or any contractual obligation of such Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its Properties pursuant to any requirement of law or any such contractual
obligation, other than as contemplated by the Term Loan Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.    Conditions Precedent. The occurrence of
the Increase Effective Date is subject to the following conditions: 
 (a)    the Administrative Agent shall have received
signature pages for this Increase Joinder from each Loan Party, HOS de Mexico II, S. de R.L. de C.V., the No. IC Incremental Term Lenders and the Initial Lenders;

representation and warranty specifically refers to a given date or period, it shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date or period, as the case may be, and (b) the

its board of directors, members or partners with respect to the authorization of such Borrower or such Guarantor to execute and deliver this Increase Joinder, the Additional Increase Joinders and to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby;

 (d)    Borrowers

SECTION 4.    Term Loan Agreement. Except as specifically provided hereby, the Term Loan Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof as in existence on the date hereof. After the Increase Effective Date, any reference to the Term Loan Agreement in any Loan Document shall mean the Term Loan Agreement as modified hereby and
any reference to a Lender shall include the No. IC Incremental Term Lender. Except as expressly set forth in this Increase Joinder, nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of any of the terms,
conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (and nothing in this Increase Joinder shall entitle the Borrowers to any consent of the type contained herein) in similar or different
circumstances. This Increase Joinder shall be a Loan Document for all purposes. 
 SECTION 5.    Applicable Law. This
Increase Joinder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 

SECTION 6.    Counterparts. This Increase Joinder may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute
an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute one contract. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Increase Joinder by facsimile or “pdf file” transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
