Section 3.5 Indemnification Procedures. 

(a) The Indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a
claim for indemnification under this Article 3, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim; provided, that failure to timely provide such notice shall not affect
the right of the Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder, except in the event and only to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay or omission. 

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with
respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article 3, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the
settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party (with the concurrence of the Conflicts Committee in the case of the Partnership
Group) unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be, and does not include the admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. 

(c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party, with respect to all aspects of the
defense of any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article 3, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the


  
 13 









 Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized
in connection with such defense, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party reasonably considers relevant to such defense and the making available to
the Indemnifying Party, at no cost to the Indemnifying Party, of any directors, officers or employees of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the
impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to endeavor to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.5. In no event
shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection
with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article 3; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The
Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense. 

(d) An Indemnified Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate damages with respect to any claim for
which it is seeking indemnification and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any costs or expenses associated with such claim and, if such costs and expenses cannot be avoided, to minimize the amount thereof. 

(e) In determining the amount of any Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and
payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third parties. The Indemnified Party hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to realize any
applicable insurance proceeds or amounts recoverable under such contractual indemnities, provided, however, that the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party in connection with such efforts shall be promptly reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.

 (f) The date on which the Indemnifying Party receives notification of a claim in accordance with
Section 3.5(a) for indemnification shall determine whether such claim is timely made. 
 (g) NOTWITHSTANDING
ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION HEREUNDER COVER OR INCLUDE CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS SUFFERED BY ANY OTHER
PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 

  
 14 









 Section 3.6 In the Event of Termination. Except as provided by
Section 3.1(c), all indemnification obligations under this Article 3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and shall remain in full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO CUSTOMER CONTRACTS 

Section 4.1 Assumption of Customer Obligations by Sponsor. 

(a) If AK Steel exercises its early termination right under Section 11.6 of the AK Steel Coke Agreement, then upon
receipt of written notice from the Partnership of effectiveness of such termination, the Sponsor will be obligated to make the Partnership Group whole to the extent of the AK Steel Obligations for the remainder of the term of the AK Steel Coke
Agreement, either by purchasing and paying for coke or otherwise, pursuant to an agreement the terms of which are reasonably acceptable to the Partnership. 
 (b) If, other than as a result of the exercise of the termination right described in Section 4.1(a), a Force Majeure Event (as defined in the relevant Coke Sales Agreement) or a Seller Event of
Default (as defined in the relevant Coke Sales Agreement), (i) a customer fails to fully satisfy its purchase and payment obligations pursuant to the terms of a Coke Sales Agreement to which such customer is a party, or (ii) a Coke Sales
Agreement is amended to reduce a customer’s purchase or payment obligations as a result of the customer’s financial distress, whether or not the customer or an affiliate of the customer has filed a petition in bankruptcy, then upon written
notice from the Partnership, the Sponsor will be obligated to make the Partnership Group whole to the extent of the customer’s failure to satisfy its obligations or to the extent the customer’s obligations are reduced, as applicable,
either by purchasing and paying for coke or otherwise, pursuant to an agreement the terms of which are reasonably acceptable to the Partnership (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without relieving such customer of its coke purchase obligations under
the relevant Coke Sales Agreement). 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement to the contrary, the
Sponsor’s obligations pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and (b), will be determined based on the customer’s obligations under the relevant Coke Sales Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, the
Partnership Group’s obligation to produce coke under such Coke Sales Agreement will not exceed the supply obligation required under such Coke Sales Agreement as of the Closing Date. 

(d) In the case of any amendment to a Coke Sales Agreement referred to in Section 4.1(b)(ii), the Partnership will
use its reasonable commercial efforts to structure the amendment to minimize the Sponsor’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 4.1.

 Section 4.2 Allocation of Amounts Recovered under Coke Sales Agreements.

 (a) The Partnership, on behalf of the Partnership Group, and the Sponsor, on behalf of the Sponsor Entities,

termination fees and amounts recovered pursuant to contractual indemnities) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative loss and/or prospective loss suffered by the Partnership Group, on the one hand, and the Sponsor Entities, on
the other. 
 (b) The Partnership and the Sponsor shall each use its reasonable commercial efforts to pursue
damages and/or recover amounts payable by customers or other third parties as a result of any of the events described in Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.1(b), and any related costs and expenses will be shared by the Partnership and the Sponsor
in the same proportion as would apply to amounts collected pursuant to Section 4.2(a). 
 Section 4.3 Term of
Agreement with Respect to Customer Contracts. The Sponsor’s obligations pursuant to this Article 4, as well as any obligations assumed by the Sponsor hereunder, shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. 

ARTICLE 5 

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES 
 Section 5.1 Preferential Rights. 
 (a) Except as
permitted by Section 5.2, the Sponsor Entities shall be prohibited from investing in, constructing, or acquiring an interest in any Domestic Cokemaking Asset. 

(b) The Partnership Entities shall be prohibited from pursuing any business opportunity other than investments in,
construction of, or acquisitions of Domestic Cokemaking Assets, except upon the written consent of the Sponsor, which consent shall be given or withheld at the sole discretion of the Sponsor and which shall be limited by such conditions as Sponsor
may require at its sole discretion. 
 Section 5.2 Permitted Exceptions. The Sponsor Entities may engage in the
following activities under the following circumstances: 
 (a) Any investment in, construction of, or acquisition
of assets or an interest in any assets or business other than Domestic Cokemaking Assets. 

  
 16 









 (b) Subject to Section 5.3, any investment in, construction of, or
acquisition of an interest in any Domestic Cokemaking Asset if: 
 (i) in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 5.3(a), the Sponsor Entities have offered the Partnership the opportunity to pursue such investment, construction or acquisition opportunity and the Partnership has elected in writing not to pursue such opportunity; or

 (ii) the Sponsor Entities, as of the Closing Date, are actively pursuing such an opportunity, including
without limitation the Kentucky Facility. 
 Section 5.3 Business Opportunities Procedures. 

(a) As contemplated by Section 5.2(b)(i), in the event that the Sponsor or any other Sponsor Entity becomes aware of
an opportunity to invest in, construct or acquire an interest in a Domestic Cokemaking Asset, then as soon as practicable, the Sponsor or other Sponsor Entity shall notify the General Partner in writing of such opportunity and deliver to the General
Partner, or provide the General Partner access to, all information prepared by or on behalf of, or material information submitted or delivered to, the Sponsor or such Sponsor Entity related to such potential transaction. As soon as practicable, but
in any event within 30 days after receipt of such notification and information, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, having determined whether to pursue such opportunity in consultation with the Conflicts Committee, shall give notice
in writing (the “Business Opportunity Notice”) to the Sponsor or other Sponsor Entity that either (i) the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has elected not to cause the Partnership Group to pursue such investment,
acquisition or construction opportunity, or (ii) the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, has elected to cause the Partnership Group to pursue such investment, acquisition or construction opportunity. If no Business Opportunity Notice
is delivered by the General Partner within the 30-day period, then the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership shall be deemed to have elected not to pursue such opportunity. If, after delivering a Business Opportunity Notice electing to
pursue an opportunity, the General Partner abandons such opportunity (as evidenced in writing by the General Partner following the written request of the Sponsor) or fails to endeavor in good faith to pursue such opportunity, the Sponsor or any
other Sponsor Entity may pursue the opportunity. With respect to any opportunity to invest in, acquire or construct Domestic Cokemaking Assets that the Sponsor Entities pursue, (x) the Sponsor Entities must endeavor in good faith to pursue the
opportunity and (y) any such investment, construction or acquisition must be on terms not materially more favorable to the Sponsor Entities than were offered to the Partnership. If at any time either of the conditions set forth in subclauses
(x) and (y) are not satisfied, the opportunity must be reoffered to the Partnership in accordance with this Section 5.3(a). For the avoidance of doubt, any Domestic Cokemaking Asset acquired by the Sponsor Entities in accordance with
this Section 5.3(a) will be subject to the Right of First Offer pursuant to Article 6. 

  
 17 









 (b) In the event that any of the Sponsor Entities constructs a new
cokemaking facility in the United States or Canada pursuant to the exception provided in Section 5.2(b) in compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.3(a), then upon commencement of commercial operations, the Partnership shall
have the option to acquire or to cause another Group Member to acquire such facility at a price sufficient to provide the Sponsor with an internal rate of return on invested capital equal to the sum of the Sponsor Entities’ weighted average
cost of capital (as determined in good faith by the Sponsor) and             %. The Sponsor shall promptly provide the General Partner with, or provide the General Partner access to, all
information related to such cokemaking facility as the General Partner reasonably requests. The Sponsor shall promptly provide written notice (the “Commercial Operations Notice”) to the General Partner upon commencement of
commercial operations at the newly constructed cokemaking facility. Within 90 days of receipt of a Commercial Operations Notice, the General Partner, following consultation with the Conflicts Committee, shall notify the Sponsor in writing as to
whether or not it will exercise its option to acquire such facility. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the Sponsor Entities construct the Kentucky Facility, the Partnership’s option to purchase newly constructed cokemaking facilities set
forth in this Section 5.3(b) shall apply to the Kentucky Facility, and (ii) if the Partnership Group does not exercise the option outlined in this Section 5.3(b) to acquire any particular newly constructed cokemaking facility upon
commencement of commercial operations (including the Kentucky Facility), such cokemaking facility will be subject to the Right of First Offer pursuant to Article 6. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER 

Section 6.1 Right of First Offer to Purchase Certain Assets.

that any Sponsor Entity proposes to Transfer any such Domestic Cokemaking Asset, or any interest therein (other than to another wholly owned Sponsor Entity). 
 (b) The Partnership hereby grants to the Sponsor a right of first offer on any cokemaking facility or interest therein or interest in any business engaged in cokemaking, to the extent that any Group
Member proposes to Transfer any such asset or interest (other than to another wholly owned Group Member). 
 (c)
The Parties acknowledge that any Transfer of assets or interests pursuant to the Partnership’s or Sponsor’s right of first offer is subject to the terms of all existing agreements with respect to such assets and interests and shall be
subject to and conditioned on the obtaining of any and all necessary consents of security holders, governmental authorities, lenders or other third parties. 

  
 18 









 Section 6.2 Procedures. 

(a) If a Sponsor Entity or a Group Member (the “Seller”) proposes to Transfer, in the case of a Sponsor
Entity, any Domestic Cokemaking Asset or an interest therein (the “Sponsor ROFO Assets”) or in the case of a Partnership Party, any cokemaking facility or interest therein or interest in any business engaged in cokemaking (the
“Partnership ROFO Assets”, and together with the Sponsor ROFO Assets, the “ROFO Assets”) other than to, in the case of a Sponsor Entity, another Sponsor Entity as described in Section 6.1(a) or, in the case of
a Group Member, another Group Member as described in Section 6.1(b) (a “Proposed Transaction”), the Sponsor, in the case of a proposed Transfer by any Sponsor Entity, or the General Partner, in the case of a proposed Transfer
by any Group Member, shall, prior to entering into any such Proposed Transaction, first give notice in writing (the “ROFO Notice”) to the other party (the “ROFO Party”) of its intention to enter into such Proposed
Transaction. The ROFO Notice shall include any material terms, conditions and other details as would be reasonably necessary for the ROFO Party to make a responsive offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with the Seller, which terms,
conditions and details shall include any material terms, conditions or other details that the Seller would propose to provide to non-Affiliates in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The ROFO Party shall have 30 days following receipt of the
ROFO Notice to propose an offer to enter into the Proposed Transaction with the Seller (the “ROFO Response”). The ROFO Response shall set forth the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the purchase price the ROFO
Party proposes to pay for the ROFO Asset and the other material terms of the purchase) pursuant to which the ROFO Party would be willing to enter into a binding agreement for the Proposed Transaction. If no ROFO Response is delivered by the ROFO
Party within such 30 day period, then the ROFO Party shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with respect to such ROFO Asset, and the Seller shall be free to enter into a Proposed Transaction with any third party on terms and
conditions determined in the sole discretion of the Seller. If the Seller fails to complete such a transaction within 270 days of the last day of the aforementioned 30-day period, then any future Transfer of such ROFO Asset by the Seller will be
subject to the provisions of this Article 6 in full. 
 (b) If the ROFO Party submits a ROFO Response, the ROFO
Party and the Seller shall negotiate, in good faith, the terms of the purchase and sale of the ROFO Asset for 30 days following the Seller’s receipt of the ROFO Response. If the Seller and the ROFO Party are unable to agree on such terms during
such 30-day period, the Seller may Transfer the ROFO Asset to any third party on terms not materially more favorable to the Seller than the last written offer proposed during negotiations with the ROFO Party pursuant to this Section 6.2(b). If
the Seller fails to complete such a transaction within 270 days of the last day of the aforementioned 30-day negotiation period, then any future Transfer of such ROFO Asset by the Seller will be subject to the provisions of this Article 6 in full.
