 INCREMENTAL AMENDMENT
NO. 1 
 This INCREMENTAL AMENDMENT NO. 1, dated as of March 5, 2019 (this “Incremental Amendment”), is being entered into
with respect to the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2019 (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 Available 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 $9,350,000 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”; and the
Lenders providing the No. 1 Incremental Term Commitments, the “No. 1 Incremental Term Lenders”) for purposes of Redeeming the Repurchased Notes (as defined in the No. 1 Note Purchase Agreement referred to below). 

C.    The No. 1 Incremental Term Lenders desire to provide the No. 1 Incremental Term Commitments in the several amounts
set forth on Schedule A hereto. 
 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.    Incremental
Amendment. 
 (a)    This Incremental Amendment is an “Incremental Amendment” referenced in Section 2.09(e) of
the Term Loan Agreement. Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the No. 1 Incremental Term Lenders hereby agree that the No. 1 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 “Incremental Amendment Effective Date”). On the Incremental Amendment Effective Date immediately after the establishment of the No. 1 Incremental Term
Commitments, each No. 1 Incremental Term Lender shall, on a several basis, make No. 1 Incremental Term Loans to the Borrowers in the principal amount set forth opposite such No. 1 Incremental Term Lender’s name on Schedule A
hereto; provided that the Borrowers agree that each No. 1 Incremental Term Lender’s obligation to make a No. 1 Incremental Term Loan to the Borrowers as provided in this Incremental Amendment shall be satisfied by the deemed
delivery by such No. 1 Incremental Term Lender of 100% of the proceeds of the No. 1 Incremental Term Loans of such No. 1 Incremental Term Lender to the No. 1 Note Sellers (as defined in Section 3 hereof) as specified in the
applicable Borrowing Request in satisfaction of the payment of the purchase price owed to such Note Seller under the Note Purchase Agreement. The No. 1 Incremental Term Commitments shall be decreased to $0 immediately after giving effect to the
No. 1 Incremental Term Loans as contemplated by the preceding sentence. 












 (b)    Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the No. 1 Incremental Term
Lenders hereby agree that the No. 1 Incremental Term Loans shall have terms identical to those of the Loans outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement immediately prior to the Incremental Amendment Effective Date (the “Existing Term
Loans”). After giving effect hereto on the Incremental Amendment Effective Date, the No. 1 Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be Loans and the Loans shall be deemed increased by the amount of the No. 1 Incremental Term Loans.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in the Term Loan Agreement to the contrary, the No. 1 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 and (iii) be secured by the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the
Security Instruments. In furtherance of the preceding clause (ii), references in Section 3.02(a) and Section 3.04(d) of the Term Loan Agreement to “Original Term Loans” shall be deemed to include the No. 1 Incremental Term
Loans. 
 (c)    The Administrative Agent shall update the Register to account for the principal amount of the No. 1
Incremental Term Loans. 
 SECTION 2.    Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into
this Incremental Amendment, each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender party hereto that, on and as of the Incremental Amendment 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 Incremental Amendment and (iii) has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
of this Incremental Amendment; 
 (b)    this Incremental Amendment (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 Incremental Amendment 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 Incremental Amendment Effective Date is subject to the following conditions: 
 (a)    the Administrative Agent shall have
received signature pages for this Incremental Amendment from each Loan Party and the No. 1 Incremental Term Lenders; 

(b)    (i) the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “No. 1 Note Purchase Agreement”) by and among
the Parent Borrower and the Persons identified as sellers party thereto (the “No. 1 Note Sellers”) shall have become effective and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the No. 1 Incremental Term Lenders shall have received a

copy of this Incremental Amendment as an exhibit to the Fleet Mortgage; and 
 (f)    Borrowers shall have paid all amounts owed
pursuant to Section 12.03 of the Term Loan Agreement and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the No. 1 Incremental Term
