The responsibilities and powers of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Indonesia Energy Corporation Limited (the “Company”), as delegated by the Board, are set forth in this charter (this “Charter”). Whenever the Committee takes an action, it shall exercise its independent judgment on an informed basis that the action is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

 

I.PURPOSE

 

The purpose of the Committee shall be to assist the Board in determining the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Chief Investment Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers of the Company (collectively, the “Executives”) and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the non-Executive officers of the Company and the independent directors.

 

II.COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP

 

The Committee shall consist of at least three members of the Board. Each member shall meet the independence and experience requirements and standards established from time to time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed or quoted for trading, in each case as amended from time to time. In addition, each member must qualify as a “Non-Employee Director” under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code for “outside directors,” and any other regulatory requirements.

 

The Board shall elect the members of the Committee at the first Board meeting practicable and may make changes from time to time pursuant to the provisions below. The members of the Committee shall serve until their successors are appointed and qualify. Unless a chairman of the Committee (the “Chairman”) is elected by the Board or by a majority of the members of the Committee, no chairman of the Committee shall be designated. If appointed by the Board or the members of the Committee, the Chairman shall be a member of the Committee and, if present, shall preside at each meeting of the Committee. The Chairman shall perform such duties as may from time to time be assigned to the Chairman by the Committee or the Board.

 

A Committee member may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the chairman of the Board, or may be removed by majority vote of the Board by delivery to such member of written notice of removal, to take effect at a date specified therein, or upon delivery of such written notice to such member if no date is specified. The Board shall have the power at any time to fill vacancies in the Committee, subject to such new member(s) satisfying the above requirements.

 

III.MEETINGS AND COMMITTEE ACTION

 

The Committee shall meet at such times as it deems necessary to fulfill its responsibilities, but not less frequently than annually. Meetings of the Committee shall be called by a majority of the members of the Committee upon such notice as is provided for in the Company’s charter documents with respect to meetings of the Board. A majority of the Committee members shall constitute a quorum. Actions of the Committee may be taken in person at a meeting or in writing without a meeting. Actions taken at a meeting, to be valid, shall require the approval of a majority of the members of the Committee present and voting. Actions taken in writing, to be valid, shall be signed by all members of the Committee. The Committee shall report its minutes from each meeting to the Board.

At each meeting, a majority of the members of the Committee shall appoint as secretary a person who may, but need not, be a member of the Committee. A certificate of the secretary of the Committee or minutes of a meeting of the Committee executed by the secretary setting forth the names of the members of the Committee present at the meeting or actions taken by the Committee at the meeting shall be sufficient evidence at all times as to the members of the Committee who were present, or such actions taken.

The Committee shall conduct the independence assessment with respect to any compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser that provides advice to the Committee, other than: (i) in-house legal counsel; and (ii) any compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser whose role is limited to the following activities for which no disclosure would be required under Item 407(e)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K: consulting on any broad-based plan that does not discriminate in scope, terms, or operation, in favor of executive officers or directors of the Company, and that is available generally to all salaried employees; or providing information that either is not customized for the Company or that is customized based on parameters that are not developed by the compensation consultant, and about which the compensation consultant does not provide advice.

 

Nothing herein requires a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other compensation adviser to be independent, only that the Committee consider the enumerated independence factors before selecting or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other compensation adviser.

Nothing herein shall be construed: (1) to require the Committee to implement or act consistently with the advice or recommendations of the compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to the Committee; or (2) to affect the ability or obligation of the Committee to exercise its own judgment in fulfillment of its duties.
