ARTICLE II - REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
 2.1 Registration. 
 (a) Request. Any Holder(s) of Registrable
Securities (collectively, the “Initiating Holder”) shall have the right to request that SunCoke file a Registration Statement with the SEC on the appropriate registration form for all or part of the Registrable Securities held by
such Holder, by delivering a written request thereof to SunCoke specifying the number of shares of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to register (a “Demand Registration”). SunCoke shall (i) within five days of the
receipt of a Demand Registration, give written notice of such Demand Registration to all Holders of Registrable Securities, and (ii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective in respect of
each Demand Registration in accordance with the intended method of distribution set forth in the written request delivered by the Holder as expeditiously as possible, and SunCoke shall use its


  
 -5-









 
reasonable best efforts to file such Registration Statement within 20 days of receipt of such request. SunCoke shall include in such Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which
SunCoke receives, within the 10 days immediately following the receipt by the Holder(s) of such notice from SunCoke, a request for inclusion in the registration from the Holder(s) thereof. Each such request from a Holder of Registrable Securities
for inclusion in the Registration shall also specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered. 

(b) Limitations on Demand Registration Requests. The Holder(s) may collectively make a total of ten (10) Demand Registration
requests pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (it being understood that the IPO Registration Statement shall not be treated as a Demand Registration or Demand Registration request). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time of the tenth
Demand Registration, SunCoke is prohibited under then-existing SEC rules from registering all remaining Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration, regardless of whether the Holder or Holders has requested that such tenth Demand
Registration be a Shelf Registration or otherwise, then such Demand Registration shall not count toward the total number of Demand Registration requests made by the Holder(s), and the Holder(s) shall continue to be able to make additional Demand
Registration requests until such time as SunCoke is permitted under then-existing SEC rules to register all of the remaining Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration. In the event that any Person shall have received rights to Demand
Registration pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 2.5, and such Person shall have made a Demand Registration request, such request shall be treated as having been made by the Holder(s) for purposes of the first sentence of this
Section 2.1(b); provided, however, that in no event shall Sunoco and its Subsidiaries, so long as they hold Registrable Securities, be entitled to less than four (4) Demand Registration requests hereunder;
provided, further, that (i) if Sunoco engages in a Private Debt Exchange as contemplated by Section 2.5 with one or more Participating Banks, the requests for a Demand Registration made by Participating Banks in
respect of such Private Debt Exchange pursuant to any registration rights agreement entered into by SunCoke pursuant to Section 2.5 shall collectively count as one (1) Demand Registration request hereunder (assuming that the
Registrable Securities subject to such Private Debt Exchange are included in a single Prospectus); and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Sunoco and its subsidiaries shall be permitted on a one-time basis to engage in up to three
(3) related Private Debt Exchanges within any six (6)-month period following the date hereof and the Demand Registration requests made by the Participating Banks in such Private Debt Exchanges pursuant to its registration rights agreement with
SunCoke shall collectively only count as one (1) Demand Registration request for purposes of the limitation on the number of Demand Registration requests set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.1(b). Except in the case of
a Convertible Registration or an Exchange Registration, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 2.1 must represent more than 5% of the number of Registrable Securities immediately
following the completion of the IPO. 
 (c) Effective Registration. SunCoke shall be deemed to have effected a
Registration for purposes of this Section 2.1 if the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC or becomes effective upon filing with the SEC, and remains effective until the earlier of (i) the date when all Registrable
Securities thereunder have been sold and (ii) 90 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement (or from the date the applicable Prospectus is filed with the SEC if SunCoke is satisfying a request for Demand Registration by filing a
Prospectus 

  
 -6-









 
under an effective Shelf Registration Statement) (the “Registration Period”). No Registration shall be deemed to have been effective if the conditions to closing specified in the
underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Registration are not satisfied by reason of SunCoke. If, during the Registration Period, such Registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or
requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court, the Registration Period shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for any period the Holder is unable to complete an offering as a result of such stop order, injunction or other order or
requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court. 
 (d) Delay in Filing; Suspension of Registration. If the
filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement would, as reasonably determined in good faith by the general counsel of SunCoke require the disclosure of material non-public information that SunCoke has a bona fide
business purpose to keep confidential and the disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect on any active proposal by SunCoke or any of its subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition, merger, consolidation, tender offer, other
business combination, reorganization, securities offering or other material transaction, SunCoke may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, postpone the filing or effectiveness of such registration (a “Registration
Suspension”) for a period not to exceed 30 days; provided, however, that SunCoke may exercise a Registration Suspension no more than two times in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such delay shall exceed
such number of days that SunCoke determines in good faith to be reasonably necessary. SunCoke shall (i) immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Registration Suspension, (ii) amend or supplement the Prospectus, if
necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission therein, and (iii) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The effectiveness period
for any Demand Registration for which SunCoke has exercised a Registration Suspension shall be increased by the period of time such Registration Suspension is in effect. 
 (e) Underwritten Offering. If the Initiating Holder so indicates at the time of its request pursuant to Section 2.1(a), such offering of Registrable Securities shall be in the form of
an Underwritten Offering and SunCoke shall include such information in its written notice to the Holders required under Section 2.1(a). In the event that the Initiating Holder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities by means of
an Underwritten Offering, the right of any Holder to include Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities
in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. Sunoco, in the event Sunoco is participating in the Underwritten Offering, or the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities being included in any Underwritten Offering, in the
event Sunoco is not participating in the Underwritten Offering, shall select the underwriter(s), financial printer, solicitation and/or exchange agent (if any) and counsel for such Underwritten Offering. 

(f) Priority of Securities Registered. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering of
Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1, informs the Holders with Registrable Securities in such Registration of such class of Registrable Securities in writing that, in its or their opinion, the
number of securities requested to be included in such Registration exceeds the number that can 

  
 -7-









 
be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, the
Holders of a majority of the Shares subject to such Registration shall have the right to (i) request the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration be allocated pro rata among the Holders, including the
Initiating Holder, to the extent necessary to reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering to the number recommended by the managing underwriter or underwriters; provided that any securities thereby
allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Holders in like manner or (ii) notify SunCoke in writing that the Registration Statement shall be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event
SunCoke shall abandon or withdraw such Registration Statement. In the event the Holders notify SunCoke that such Registration Statement shall be abandoned or withdrawn, such Holders shall not be deemed to have requested a Demand Registration
pursuant to Section 2.1(a) and SunCoke shall not be deemed to have effected a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b). 
 (g) Shelf Registration; Convertible Registration; Exchange Registration. With respect to any Demand Registration, the requesting Holders may request SunCoke to effect a registration of the Shares
(i) under a Shelf Registration; (ii) in connection with such Holders’ registration under the Securities Act of securities (the “Convertible Securities”) convertible into, exercisable for or otherwise related to the
Shares (a “Convertible Registration”); or (iii) in connection with such Holders’ distribution of, or exchange of or offer to exchange the Shares for any debt or equity securities of such Holders, a subsidiary, Affiliate
thereof, or, in the case of Sunoco, SunCoke and its Subsidiaries, or any other Person (an “Exchange Registration”). 
 (h) SEC Form. Except as set forth in the next sentence, SunCoke shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Demand Registrations to be registered on Form S-3 (or any successor form), and if
SunCoke is not then eligible under the Securities Act to use Form S-3, Demand Registrations shall be registered on Form S-1 (or any successor form). If a Demand Registration is a Convertible Registration or an Exchange Registration, SunCoke shall
effect such registration on the appropriate Form under the Securities Act for such registrations. SunCoke shall use its reasonable best efforts to become eligible to use Form S-3 and, after becoming eligible to use Form S-3, shall use its reasonable
best efforts to remain so eligible. All such Demand Registrations shall comply with applicable requirements of the Securities Act and, together with each prospectus included, filed or otherwise furnished by SunCoke in connection therewith, shall not
contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. 
 2.2 Piggyback Registrations. 
 (a) Participation. If SunCoke proposes
to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to any offering of its Common Stock for its own account and/or for the account of any other Persons (other than (i) a Registration under Section 2.1 hereof,
(ii) a Registration pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or similar forms that relate to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act, (iii) any form that does not include substantially the same
information, other than information relating to the selling holders or their plan of distribution, as would be required to be included in a Registration Statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities, (iv) in connection with any dividend
reinvestment or 

  
 -8-









 
similar plan, (v) for the sole purpose of offering securities to another entity or its security holders in connection with the acquisition of assets or securities of such entity or any
similar transaction or (vi) a Registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered) (a “Company Public Sale”), then, as soon as
practicable (but in no event less than 15 days prior to the proposed date of filing such Registration Statement), SunCoke shall give written notice of such proposed filing to each Holder, and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to
Register under such Registration Statement such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(c), SunCoke
shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities which are requested to be included therein within 15 Business Days after the receipt of any such notice; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving
written notice of its intention to Register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, SunCoke shall determine for any reason not to Register or to delay Registration of
such securities, SunCoke may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each such Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to Register, shall be relieved of its obligation to Register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such Registration, without prejudice, however, to the rights of any Holder to request that such Registration be effected as a Demand Registration under Section 2.1, and (ii) in the case of a
determination to delay Registering, shall be permitted to delay Registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in Registering such other shares of Common Stock. No Registration effected under this Section 2.2
shall relieve SunCoke of its obligation to effect any Demand Registration under Section 2.1. If the offering pursuant to such Registration Statement is to be underwritten, then each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration
pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall, and SunCoke shall use reasonable best efforts to coordinate arrangements with the underwriters so that each such Holder may, participate in such Underwritten Offering. If the offering pursuant to
such Registration Statement is to be on any other basis, then each Holder making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall, and SunCoke shall use reasonable best efforts to coordinate arrangements so
that each such Holder may, participate in such offering on such basis. For purposes of clarification, SunCoke’s filing of a Shelf Registration Statement shall not be deemed to be a Company Public Sale; provided, however, that any
prospectus supplement filed pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to an offering of SunCoke’s Common Stock for its own account and/or for the account of any other Persons will be a Company Public Sale unless such offering
qualifies for an exemption from SunCoke Public Sale definition in this Section 2.2(a). 
 (b) Right to
Withdraw. Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) at any time prior to the execution of an
underwriting agreement with respect thereto by giving written notice to SunCoke of such Holder’s request to withdraw and, subject to the preceding clause, each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effective date thereof. 
 (c) Priority of Piggyback
Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of Registrable Securities included in a Piggyback Registration informs SunCoke and Holders in writing that, in its or their opinion,


  
 -9-









 
the number of securities of such class which such Holder and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to
have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Registration shall be (i) first, all securities of SunCoke and any other
Persons (other than SunCoke’s executive officers and directors) for whom SunCoke is effecting the Registration, as the case may be, proposes to sell, (ii) second, the number of Registrable Securities of such class that, in the opinion of
such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated pro rata among the Holders that have requested to participate in such Registration based on the relative number of
Registrable Securities of such class requested by such Holder to be included in such sale (provided that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting
Holders in like manner), subject to any superior contractual rights of other holders, (iii) third, the number of securities of executive officers and directors for whom SunCoke is effecting the Registration, as the case may be, with such number
to be allocated pro rata among the executive officers and directors, and (iv) fourth, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such Registration, allocated among the holders of such securities in such proportion as SunCoke and
those holders may agree. 
 (d) Underwritten Offering. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering and any
of the investment banker(s) or manager(s) selected to administer the offering was not one of the joint book-running managers of the IPO, such investment banker or manager shall not administer such offering if the Holders of a majority of the Shares
included in such Piggyback Registration reasonably object thereto. The Holders of a majority of the Shares included in any Piggyback Registration shall have the right to select counsel for the Holders of the Shares included in such Piggyback
Registration. 
 2.3 Registration Procedures. 
 (a) In connection with SunCoke’s Registration obligations under Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, SunCoke shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Registration to
permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof as expeditiously as reasonably practicable (but in no event, in the case of the initial filing of the registration statement,
later than 30 days after the date of a demand under Section 2.1 if the applicable registration form is Form S-3 or a successor form, and for any other form, 60 days from the date of such demand), and in connection therewith SunCoke
shall: 
 (i) prepare and file the required Registration Statement including all exhibits and financial
statements required under the Securities Act to be filed therewith, and before filing with the SEC a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, (A) furnish to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders,
copies of all documents prepared to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such underwriters and such Holders and their respective counsel, and (B) not file with the SEC any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendments
or supplements thereto to which Holders or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object; 

  
 -10-









 (ii) except in the case of a Shelf Registration, Convertible Registration or
Exchange Registration, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Shares registered thereon until the earlier of (A) such time as all of such Shares have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition
set forth in such registration statement or (B) the expiration of nine months after such registration statement becomes effective, plus the number of days that any filing or effectiveness has been delayed under Section 2.1(d);

 (iii) in the case of a Shelf Registration (but not including any Convertible Registration), prepare and file
with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all Shares subject thereto for a period ending on the earlier of (A) 36 months after the effective date of such registration statement plus the number of days that any filing or effectiveness has been delayed
under Section 2.1(d), and (B) the date on which all the Shares subject thereto have been sold pursuant to such registration statement; 
 (iv) in the case of a Convertible Registration or an Exchange Registration, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Shares subject thereto until such time as the rules,
regulations and requirements of the Securities Act and the terms of the Convertible Securities no longer require such Shares to be registered under the Securities Act; 

(v) notify the participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and (if requested) confirm such
advice in writing and provide copies of the relevant documents, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice thereof is received by SunCoke (A) when the applicable Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or becomes
effective, when the applicable Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus has been filed, (B) of any written comments by the SEC or any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or
supplements to such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or any order preventing or suspending the
use of any preliminary or final Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purposes, (D) if, at any time, the representations and warranties of SunCoke in any applicable underwriting agreement cease to be true and
correct in all material respects, and (E) of the receipt by SunCoke of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening
of any proceeding for such purpose; 

  
 -11-









 (vi) subject to Section 2.1(d), promptly notify each selling
Holder and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, when SunCoke becomes aware of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the applicable Registration Statement or the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (as then in
effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of such Prospectus and any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such time period to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act and, in either case as promptly as reasonably
practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC, and furnish without charge to the selling Holder and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, an amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus which will correct
such statement or omission or effect such compliance; 
 (vii) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent or
obtain the withdrawal of any stop order or other order suspending the use of any preliminary or final Prospectus; 
 (viii) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters and the Holders agree should be included therein relating to
the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable Securities; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in
such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
 (ix) furnish to each selling Holder and each
underwriter, if any, without charge, as many conformed copies as such Holder or underwriter may reasonably request of the applicable Registration Statement and any amendment or post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference); 
 (x) deliver to each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, without charge, as many copies of the applicable Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto
as such Holder or underwriter may reasonably request (it being understood that SunCoke consents to the use of such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering
and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto) and such other documents as such selling Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities by such Holder or underwriter; 
 (xi) on or prior to the date on which the applicable Registration
Statement is declared effective or becomes effective, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with each selling Holder, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel, in connection with
the registration or 

  
 -12-









 
qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as any selling Holder
or managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or their respective counsel reasonably request in writing and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as
such Registration Statement remains in effect and so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings in such jurisdictions of the United States for so long as may be necessary to complete the distribution of the Registrable Securities covered by
the Registration Statement; provided that SunCoke will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to taxation or general service of
process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 
 (xii) in connection with any sale of
Registrable Securities that will result in such securities no longer being Registrable Securities, cooperate with each selling Holder and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive Securities Act legends; and to register such Registrable Securities in such denominations and such names as such selling Holder or the underwriter(s), if
any, may request at least two Business Days prior to such sale of Registrable Securities; provided that SunCoke may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of the Depository Trust
Company’s Direct Registration System; 
 (xiii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and each securities exchange, if any, on which any of SunCoke’s securities are then listed or quoted and on each inter-dealer quotation system on which any of SunCoke’s securities are then
quoted, and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any “qualified independent underwriter”) that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of each such exchange,
and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or
sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 
 (xiv) not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities and provide the applicable transfer agent with printed certificates

Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System;

selling Holder and to the underwriter or underwriters, if any, opinions from the general counsel or deputy general counsel for SunCoke, in each case dated the effective date of the Registration Statement or, in the event of an Underwritten Offering,
the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, and in each such case in customary form and content for the type of Underwritten Offering; 

  
 -13-









 (xvi) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, obtain for delivery to and
addressed to SunCoke and the managing underwriter or underwriters and, to the extent requested, each selling Holder, a cold comfort letter from SunCoke’s independent certified public accountants in customary form and content for the type of
Underwritten Offering, dated the date of execution of the underwriting agreement and brought down to the closing under the underwriting agreement; 
 (xvii) use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later
than 90 days after the end of the 12-month period beginning with the first day of SunCoke’s first quarter commencing after the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and covering the period of at least twelve (12) months, but not more than eighteen (18) months, beginning with the first month after the
effective date of the Registration Statement; 
 (xviii) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and
registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 

(xix) cause all Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be listed on each securities
exchange on which any of SunCoke’s securities are then listed or quoted and on each inter-dealer quotation system on which any of SunCoke’s securities are then quoted; 

(xx) provide (A) each Holder participating in the Registration, (B) the underwriters (which term, for purposes
of this Agreement, shall include a Person deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act), if any, of the Registrable Securities to be registered, (C) the sale or placement agent therefor, if any,
(D) counsel for such underwriters or agent, and (E) any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained by such Holder or any such underwriter, as selected by such Holder, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of
such Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the SEC, and each amendment or supplement thereto, and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to SunCoke in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of
such Holder(s) and their counsel should be included; and for a reasonable period prior to the filing of such registration statement, make available upon reasonable notice at reasonable times and for reasonable periods for inspection by the parties
referred to in (A) through (E) above, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of SunCoke that are available to SunCoke, and cause all of SunCoke’s officers, directors and employees and
the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements to make themselves available at reasonable times and for reasonable periods to discuss the business of SunCoke and to supply all information available to SunCoke
reasonably requested by any such Person in connection with such Registration Statement as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, subject to the foregoing; and 

  
 -14-









 (xxi) to cause the senior executive officers of SunCoke to participate at
reasonable times and for reasonable periods in the customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in any such Underwritten Offering and otherwise to facilitate, cooperate
with, and participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling efforts related thereto, except to the extent that such participation materially interferes with the management of SunCoke’s business; provided
that the effectiveness period for any Demand Registration shall be increased on a day-for-day basis by the period of time that management cannot participate; and 

(xxii) take all other customary steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities
contemplated hereby. 
 (b) As a condition precedent to any Registration hereunder, SunCoke may require each Holder as to which
any Registration is being effected to furnish to SunCoke such information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Holder, its ownership of Registrable Securities and other matters as SunCoke may from
time to time reasonably request in writing. Each such Holder agrees to furnish such information to SunCoke and to cooperate with SunCoke as reasonably necessary to enable SunCoke to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. 

(c) Sunoco agrees, and any other Holder agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities, that, upon receipt of any written notice
from SunCoke of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 2.3(a)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until such Holder’s
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.3(a)(vi), or until such Holder is advised in writing by SunCoke that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and if so directed by SunCoke, such
Holder will deliver to SunCoke (at SunCoke’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In
the event SunCoke shall give any such notice, the period during which the applicable Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of
such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.3(a)(vi) or is advised
in writing by SunCoke that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. 
 (d) In the event of a public sale of SunCoke’s
equity securities in an Underwritten Offering, whether or not the Holders participate therein, the Holders hereby agree, and SunCoke agrees that is shall cause its executive officers and directors to agree, if requested by the managing underwriter
or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, not to effect any sale or distribution (including any offer to sell, contract to sell, short sale or any option to 

  
 -15-









 
purchase) of any securities (except, in each case, as part of the applicable Registration, if permitted hereunder) that are the same as or similar to those being Registered in connection with
such Company Public Sale, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning five days before, and ending 90 days (or such lesser period as may be permitted by SunCoke or such managing
underwriter or underwriters) after, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, to the extent timely notified in writing by SunCoke or the managing underwriter or underwriters. The Holders also agree
to execute an agreement evidencing the restrictions in this Section 2.2(d) in customary form, which form is satisfactory to SunCoke and the underwriters; provided that such restrictions may be included in the underwriting agreement.
SunCoke may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the securities subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the required stand-off period. 
 (e) Holdback Agreements. 
 (i) SunCoke shall not effect any
public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to and during the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of any
registration statement in connection with a Demand Registration (other than a Shelf Registration) or a Piggyback Registration, except pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or any successor form or unless the underwriters managing any such public
offering otherwise agree. 
 (ii) If the Holders of Shares notify SunCoke in writing that they intend to effect
an underwritten sale of Shares registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, SunCoke shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for its equity securities, during the seven days prior to and during the 90-day period beginning on the date such notice is received, except pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or any successor form or unless the
underwriters managing any such public offering otherwise agree. 
 (iii) If SunCoke completes an underwritten
registration with respect to any of its securities (whether offered for sale by SunCoke or any other Person) on a form and in a manner that would have permitted registration of the Shares, if no Holder requested the inclusion of any Shares in such
registration, and if SunCoke gives each Holder at least 20 days prior written notice of the approximate date on which such offering is expected to be commenced, the Holders shall not effect any public sales or distributions of equity securities of
SunCoke, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, until the termination of the holdback period required from SunCoke by any underwriters in connection with such previous registration, provided that the
holdback period applicable to the Holders shall (i) in no event be longer than a period of 7 days before and 90 days after the effective date of such registration or apply to the Holders more than once in any 18 month period, (ii) not
apply to any Distribution under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, (iii) not apply to any securities of SunCoke acquired on the open market, (iv) not apply to any Holder owning less than 10% of SunCoke’s outstanding voting
securities, and (v) not apply unless all directors and officers of SunCoke and holders of 10% or more of SunCoke’s outstanding voting securities are bound by the same holdback restrictions as are intended to apply to the Holders.


  
 -16-









 2.4 Underwritten Offerings. If requested by the managing underwriters for any
Underwritten Offering requested by Holders pursuant to a Registration under Section 2.1, SunCoke shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in
substance and form to SunCoke and the underwriters. Such agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by SunCoke and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type. SunCoke may require that the Shares
requested to be registered pursuant to Section 2.2 be included in such underwriting on the same terms and conditions as shall be applicable to the other securities being sold through underwriters under such registration; provided,
however, that no Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to SunCoke or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of
distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to SunCoke or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.7 hereof. The Selling Holders shall be parties to any such underwriting
agreement, and the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, SunCoke to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Selling Holders. 

2.5 Registration Rights Agreement with Participating Banks. If Sunoco decides to engage in a Private Debt Exchange with one or
more Participating Banks, SunCoke agrees that it will enter into a registration rights agreement with the Participating Banks at the time of such Private Debt Exchange on terms and conditions consistent with this Agreement and reasonably
satisfactory to SunCoke. 
 2.6 Registration Expenses Paid By Company. In the case of any registration of Registrable
Securities required pursuant to this Agreement (including any registration that is delayed or withdrawn), SunCoke shall pay all Registration Expenses regardless of whether the Registration Statement becomes effective. 

2.7 Indemnification. 
 (a) Indemnification by Company. SunCoke agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Holder, such Holder’s Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in
respect thereof, whether or not such indemnified party is a party thereto) and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”)
arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was Registered under the Securities Act (including any final
or preliminary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or any such statement made in any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act) that SunCoke has filed or is required to file pursuant to Rule 

  
 -17-









 
433(d) of the Securities Act, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that SunCoke shall not be liable to any particular indemnified party in any
such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement (i) in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to SunCoke by such indemnified party expressly for use in the preparation thereof or (ii) which has been corrected in a subsequent filing with the SEC but such indemnified party nonetheless failed to provide such
corrected filing to the Person asserting such Loss, in breach of the indemnified party’s obligations under applicable law. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability SunCoke may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Selling Holder. Each selling Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, SunCoke, its directors,
officers, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls SunCoke (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was Registered under the Securities Act (including any final or preliminary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or any such statement made in any free writing prospectus that SunCoke has filed or is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, or (ii) any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made) not misleading to the extent, but, in each case (i) or (ii), only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such selling Holder to SunCoke specifically for
inclusion in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus and has not been corrected in a subsequent filing with the SEC provided to the Person asserting such Loss prior to or concurrently with the sale
of the Registrable Securities to such Person. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder under the sale of the Registrable Securities giving
rise to such indemnification obligation. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the selling Holder may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of SunCoke
or any indemnified party. 
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder
will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligations hereunder to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party;
provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder 

  
 -18-









 
shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless
(i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person
entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other
indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such
Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying
party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its
consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party,
which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time from all such indemnified party or parties unless (x) the
employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnified party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are
different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based on advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other
indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. 
 (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it
harmless as contemplated by Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b), then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7(d) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than SunCoke) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) to contribute
any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses of the indemnified parties relate


  
 -19-









 
(before deducting expenses, if any) exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. The parties
hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in this Section 2.7(d). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party hereunder shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 2.7(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or
proceeding. If indemnification is available under this Section 2.7, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Section 2.7(a) and Section 2.7(b) hereof without
regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying parties or indemnified party. 
 2.8 Reporting Requirements; Rule 144.
SunCoke shall use its reasonable best efforts to be and remain in compliance with the periodic filing requirements imposed under the SEC’s rules and regulations, including the Exchange Act, and any other applicable laws or rules, and thereafter
shall timely file such information, documents and reports as the SEC may require or prescribe under Section 13 or 15(d) (whichever is applicable) of the Exchange Act. If SunCoke is not required to file such reports during such period, it will,
upon the request of any Holder, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, and it will take such further action as any Holder may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 or Regulation S
under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. From and after the date hereof through the first anniversary of the Distribution, SunCoke shall
forthwith upon request furnish any Holder (i) a written statement by SunCoke as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of SunCoke, and
(iii) such other reports and documents filed by SunCoke with the SEC as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of an exemption for the sale of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act. 

2.9 Other Registration Rights. SunCoke shall not grant to any Persons the right to request SunCoke to register any equity
securities of SunCoke, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, whether pursuant to “demand,” “piggyback,” or other rights, unless such rights are subject and subordinate to the
rights of the Holders under this Agreement.

Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this agreement
will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained therein. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith in an attempt to agree to another provision (instead of the provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) that is valid, legal and enforceable and carries out the
parties’ intentions to the greatest lawful extent under this Agreement. 
 3.9 Amendment; Waiver. 

(a) This Agreement may not be amended or modified and waivers and consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
except by an instrument or instruments in writing making specific reference to this Agreement and signed by SunCoke, and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. 

(b) The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or
continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy. 
 3.10 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver all
additional documents, agreements and instruments and shall do any and all acts and things reasonably requested by the other party hereto in connection with the performance of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement.

executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.
