INDONESIA
ENERGY CORPORATION LIMITED


 


SHARE
OPTION AGREEMENT


 


This
Share Option Agreement (this “Option Agreement”), effective as of February 1, 2019 (the “Date of Grant”),
is entered into by and between Indonesia Energy Corporation Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated in the
Cayman Islands (the “Company”), and Wirawan Jusuf (the “Optionee”). Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein that are defined in the Indonesia Energy Corporation Limited 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (as the
same may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”), shall have the meanings attributed thereto in the Plan.


 


1. 
Grant of Share Options. On behalf of the Company, the Board hereby grants to the Optionee, in accordance with the Plan,
an Incentive Share Option (the “Option”) to purchase a number of ordinary shares of the Company (the “Shares”)
as set forth below, at the exercise price per Share set forth in Section 3 below (the “Exercise Price”), subject
to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms
and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.


 


Total Number of Option Shares
Granted: 400,000 Shares. 


 


The Option is intended
to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”) as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the
extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”).
Further, if for any reason this Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification,
the Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a NSO granted under the Plan. In no event shall the Board, the Committee or
the Company or any of their respective employees, directors or affiliates have any liability to Optionee (or any other person or
entity) due to the failure of the Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.


 


2. 
Vesting. Pursuant to this Option Agreement, the Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows: (a) 133,333 ordinary
shares underlying the Option shall vest on the first (1st) anniversary of the closing of the Company’s anticipated
registered initial public offering (the “IPO”), (b) 133,333 ordinary shares underlying the Option shall vest
on the second (2nd) anniversary of the closing of the IPO (assuming Optionee is then still employed by the Company);
and (c) 133,334 ordinary shares underlying the Option shall vest on the third (3rd) anniversary of the closing of the
IPO (assuming Optionee is then still employed by the Company).


 


3. 
Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per Share pursuant to this Option Agreement shall equal the price per ordinary share
paid by public investors in the IPO.


 


4. 
Method of Exercise. At any time when the Optionee wishes to exercise the vested portion of the Option granted pursuant to
this Option Agreement, in whole or in part, the Optionee shall submit a written or electronic notice of exercise accompanied by
payment of the Exercise Price in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Plan, together with (if deemed necessary by the Board or the
Committee at the time of exercise) an amount sufficient to satisfy any withholding tax obligation of the Company that arises in
connection with such exercise in accordance with Section 6.5(e) of the Plan.


 


5. 
Acknowledgment. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan document, and agrees that this Option Agreement
is subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan in all respects.


 


6. 
No Guarantee of Continued Service. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING
SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER OF THE COMPANY AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING
GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING ORDINARY SHARES HEREUNDER. OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS OPTION AGREEMENT,
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE
OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY
WAY WITH OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER TO
THE COMPANY AT ANY TIME, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF ANY EMPLOYMENT OR SIMILAR AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMAPANY AND THE OPTIONEE.

the Company may amend or modify this Option Agreement without the Optionee’s consent in a manner necessary or advisable
(as determined by the Board or the Committee) to carry out the purpose of the award made hereunder as a result of any new Applicable
Law or change in an existing Applicable Law.


 


8.  Governing
Law; Dispute Resolution. This Option Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Cayman
