COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CHARTER

(Last revised August 2023)

  1. Purpose

The purpose of the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of SKYX Platforms Corp. (the "Company") is to assist the Board with the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation and benefits provided to the Company's executive officers, employees and non-management directors.

In addition to the powers and responsibilities expressly delegated to the Committee in this Charter, the Committee may exercise any other powers and carry out any other responsibilities delegated to it by the Board from time to time consistent with the Company's by-laws (as in effect from time to time) and applicable law. The powers and responsibilities delegated by the Board to the Committee, in this Charter or otherwise, shall be exercised and carried out by the Committee as it deems appropriate without requirement of Board approval. While acting within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it, the Committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board.

  1. Membership

The Committee shall consist of at least two directors. Each member of the Committee shall be independent in accordance with the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") and shall qualify as a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

The members of the Committee, including the Chair of the Committee, shall be appointed by the Board and shall serve for such term or terms as the Board may determine or until earlier resignation or death. Committee members may be removed from the Committee, with or without cause, by the Board.

  1. Meetings and Procedures

The Committee is governed by the same rules regarding meetings (including meetings in person or by telephone or other similar remote communications equipment), action without meetings, notice, waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements as are applicable to the Board. The Chair of the Committee (or in his or her absence, a member designated by the Chair) shall preside at each meeting of the Committee and set the agendas for Committee meetings.

The Committee should meet as often as it determines advisable to fulfill the Committee's duties and responsibilities, but at least twice a year and more frequently as the Committee deems necessary or desirable.

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, select and retain any compensation and benefits consultants, legal counsel and other consultants, experts or advisors ("committee advisors") that the Committee believes to be desirable and appropriate. The Committee may also use the services of the Company's regular legal counsel or other advisors to the Company. The Committee shall be directly responsible for appointing, compensating and overseeing the work of any committee advisor retained by the Committee. The Company shall provide appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to any committee advisors employed by the Committee and for ordinary

administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties. Consistent with applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq listing standards, the Committee shall, subject to any exceptions under Nasdaq listing standards, undertake an analysis of the independence of each committee advisor under the independence factors specified in the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq listing standards, with such analysis to occur prior to selection of, or receipt of advice from, such committee advisor or consultant and as appropriate thereafter. The Committee shall also evaluate whether any compensation consultant (and other committee advisors, as required) retained or to be retained by it has any conflict of interest in accordance with Item 407(e)(3)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

The Committee shall have full, unrestricted access to Company records and personnel as necessary or appropriate to carrying out its duties.

The Committee may invite such members of management to its meetings as it deems appropriate. However, the Committee shall meet regularly without such members present, and in all cases the CEO and any other such officers shall not be present at meetings at which their compensation or performance is discussed or determined.

The Committee shall keep regular minutes of any meetings (unless actions are taken and reported to the Committee's satisfaction in the minutes of the Board meetings). Any such minutes kept by the Committee shall be distributed to each member of the Committee. The Secretary of the Company shall maintain the approved signed minutes for filing with the corporate records of the Company. The Chair shall report to the Board regarding the activities of the Committee at appropriate times and as otherwise requested by the Chairman of the Board.
