	(i)
	Flight planning and weather contract services; and

		
	(j)
	An additional charge equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the expenses listed in subparagraph (a) above.

3.2    The “SIFL Amount” shall be the total amount determined for Lessee and those passengers on such trip taxable to Lessee under IRS regulations Section 1.61-21(g) and Section 1.132-5(m).
    
3.3    If the SIFL Amount exceeds the payment due from Lessee under Section 3.1, then Lessor shall include on Lessee’s IRS Form W-2 or Form 1099 as appropriate, as additional taxable compensation, the amount by which the SIFL Amount exceeds the amount paid by Lessee.  All such compensation shall be subject to employment taxes and other taxes as required in accordance with Lessor’s regular payroll practices.  Lessee shall, at Lessor’s request, reimburse Lessor for all taxes applicable to Lessee’s compensation.

4.  Invoicing and Payment.  All payments to be made to Lessor by Lessee hereunder shall be paid in the manner set forth in this Paragraph 4.  Lessor will pay, or cause to be paid, all expenses related to the operation of the Aircraft hereunder in the ordinary course.  As to each flight operated hereunder, Lessor shall provide to Lessee an invoice for the charges specified in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter for flights performed within such quarter. Any amounts due for taxes shall be included on the invoices submitted to Lessee. Lessee shall pay Lessor the full amount of such invoice no later than thirty (30) days after Lessee’s receipt of the invoice.  

5.  Flight Requests.  Lessee will provide Lessor with flight requests and proposed flight schedules as far in advance as possible.  Flight requests shall be in a written form mutually convenient to and agreed upon by the parties. In addition to proposed schedules and departure times, Lessee shall provide at least the following information for each proposed flight reasonably in advance of the desired departure time as required by Lessor or its flight crew:

(a)    departure point;
(b)    destination;
(c)    date and time of flight;
(d)    number and identity of anticipated passengers;
		
	(e)
	nature and extent of luggage and/or cargo to be carried;

		
	(f)
	date and time of return flight, if any; and

		
	(g)
	any other information concerning the proposed flight that may be pertinent to or required by Lessor or its flight crew.

6.  Aircraft Scheduling.  Lessor shall have final authority over all scheduling of the Aircraft, provided however that Lessor will use reasonable efforts to accommodate Lessee’s requests.  Any flights scheduled under this Agreement are subject to cancellation by either party without incurring liability to the other party.  In the event of cancellation, the canceling party shall provide the maximum notice reasonably practicable.

7.  Aircraft Maintenance.  Lessor shall be solely responsible for securing scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, preventive maintenance, and required or recommended inspections of the Aircraft in accordance with FAR Part 91, and shall take such requirements into account in scheduling the Aircraft.  Performance of maintenance, preventive maintenance or inspection shall not be delayed or postponed for the purpose of scheduling the Aircraft unless such maintenance or inspection can safely be conducted at 

Page 2 of 2

a later time in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and requirements, and such delay or postponement is consistent with the sound discretion of the pilot-in-command.  In the event that any non-standard maintenance is required during the term and will interfere with Lessee's requested or scheduled usage, Lessor, or Lessor’s pilot-in-command, shall notify Lessee of the maintenance required, the effect on the ability to comply with Lessee’s requested or scheduled usage and the manner in which the parties will proceed with the performance of such maintenance and conduct of such flight(s). In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee or any other person for loss, injury or damage occasioned by the delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft under this Agreement, whether or not maintenance-related.

8.  Operational Authority and Control.  Lessor shall be responsible for the physical and technical operation of the Aircraft and the safe performance of all flights under this Agreement, and shall retain full authority and control including exclusive operational control and exclusive possession, command and control of the Aircraft for all flights under this Agreement.  In accordance with applicable FARs, the qualified flight crew provided by Lessor will exercise all required and/or appropriate duties and responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder.  The pilot-in-command shall have absolute discretion in all matters concerning the preparation of the Aircraft for flight and the flight itself, the load carried and its distribution, the decision whether or not a flight shall be undertaken, the route to be flown, the place where landings shall be made, and all other matters relating to operation of the Aircraft.  Lessee specifically agrees that the flight crew shall have final and complete authority to delay or cancel any flight for any reason or condition which in the sole judgment of the pilot-in-command could compromise the safety of the flight, and to take any other action which in the sole judgment of the pilot-in-command is necessitated by considerations of safety.  No such action of the pilot-in-command shall create or support any liability to Lessee or any other person for loss, injury, damage or delay.  Lessor’s operation of the Aircraft hereunder shall be strictly within the guidelines and policies established by Lessor and FAR Part 91.  

9.  Insurance.     

(a)  Lessor, at its expense, will maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement (i) aircraft liability insurance for bodily injury to or death of persons (including passengers) and property damage liability, in respect of the Aircraft in such amount as is customarily maintained by prudent operators of similar aircraft, naming Lessee as an additional insured, and (ii) hull insurance for the full replacement cost of the Aircraft.  

(b)  Lessor shall use reasonable commercial efforts to procure such additional insurance coverage for specific flights under this Agreement as Lessee may request in writing naming Lessee as an additional insured; provided, that the cost of such additional insurance shall be borne by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 3(d) hereof.

10.  Use of Aircraft.  Lessee warrants that:

(a)  Lessee will use the Aircraft under this Agreement for and only for his or her own account, including the carriage of his or her guests, and will not use the Aircraft for the purpose of providing transportation of passengers or cargo for compensation or hire;

(b)  Lessee will not permit any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance to attach against the Aircraft as a result of his or her actions or inactions, and shall not convey, mortgage, assign, lease or in any way alienate the Aircraft or Lessor’s rights hereunder; and  

Page 3 of 3

(c)  During the term of this Agreement, Lessee will abide by and conform to all such laws, governmental and airport orders, rules, and regulations as shall from time to time be in effect relating in any way to the operation or use of the Aircraft under a time sharing arrangement and all applicable policies of Lessor.

11.  Limitation of Liability.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither party shall have any liability under this Agreement for incidental, indirect or consequential damages of any nature.  

12.  Taxes.  Lessee shall be responsible for paying, and Lessor shall be responsible for collecting from Lessee and paying over to the appropriate authorities, all applicable federal excise taxes imposed under Internal Revenue Code §4261 and all sales, use and other excise taxes imposed by any authority in connection with the use of the Aircraft by Lessee hereunder.

THIS THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of July 12, 2019, among Hornbeck Offshore Navegacao Ltda, a Brazilian Limitada, Hornbeck Offshore Services de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican Sociedad De Responsabilidad Limitada De Capital Variable (each a “Guaranteeing Subsidiary” and together the “Guaranteeing Subsidiaries”), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc.  (or its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).  
WITNESSETH 
WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2012 (the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 1.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Securities”); 
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances each Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Securities and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and 
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.  
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities as follows: 
1.  Capitalized Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.  
2.  Agreement to Guarantee.  Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Subsidiary Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 13 thereof.  
3.  No Recourse Against Others.  No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of any Guaranteeing Subsidiary (other than the Company or a Guarantor in its capacity as a stockholder of a Subsidiary), as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Securities, any Subsidiary Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of 

or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of the Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.  Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.  
4.  New York Law to Govern.  THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.  
5.  Counterparts.  The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture.  Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.  
6.  Effect of Headings.  The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.  
7.  The Trustee.  The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries and the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed, all as of the date first written above.
