2.1 Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of this Plan are to: 

(a) better align the interests of shareholders and management of the Company by creating a direct linkage between Participants’
rewards and shareholders’ gains; 
 (b) provide management with the ability to increase equity ownership in the Company;

 (c) provide competitive compensation opportunities that can be realized through attainment of performance goals; 

(d) provide an incentive to management for continuous employment with the Company; and 

(e) to assume and govern other awards pursuant to the adjustment of awards granted under any Sunoco Long-Term Incentive Plan in
accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement. 
 It is intended that certain Awards made under the Plan will qualify as Qualified
Performance-Based Awards. 
 2.2 Term of the Plan. No Awards will be made under this Plan after
[                    ], 2021. The Plan and all Awards made under the Plan prior to such date shall remain in effect until such Awards
have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Plan and the terms of such Awards.  
 2.3
Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have the authority, in its sole discretion and from time to time to, among other things: 

(a) designate the Participants; 
 (b) grant Awards provided in the Plan in such form and amount as the Committee shall determine; 
 (c) determine the terms and conditions of each Award under the Plan and impose such limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any such Award, in each case as the Committee shall deem appropriate; and

 (d) interpret the Plan, adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and make all other
determinations and take all other action necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Plan. 

  
 -7-









 The decisions and determinations of the Committee on all matters relating to the Plan shall
be in its sole discretion and shall be conclusive. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or not taken or decision made or not made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder.  

2.4 Eligibility for Participation. Awards may be granted under the Plan to (a) Eligible Individuals and, (b) with
respect to Adjusted Awards, in accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement.  
 2.5 Types of Awards Under
the Plan. Awards under the Plan may be in the form of any one or more of the following: 
 (a) Options, as described
in Article III; 
 (b) Share Units, as described in Article IV; and/or 

(c) Restricted Stock, as described in Article V. 
 2.6 Limitation on Awards; Rules for Calculating Shares Delivered. 
 (a)
The maximum number of Shares that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall be the sum of (i) the number of Shares that may be issuable upon exercise or vesting of the Adjusted Awards and
(ii) 6,000,000. The limit set forth in this Section 2.6(a) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.8. Shares subject to an Award under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares or may be treasury Shares.
 
 (b) During a calendar year, no single Participant may be granted: 

(i) Options covering in excess of 1,250,000 Shares; or 

(ii) Qualified Performance-Based Awards in the form of Share Units or Restricted Stock covering in excess of 750,000
Shares in the aggregate;

Section 2.6(b). The limits set forth in this Section 2.6(b) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.8. 

(c) With respect to Awards other than Adjusted Awards, to the extent that any Award is forfeited, or any Option terminates, expires or
lapses without being exercised, or any Award is settled for cash, the Shares subject to such Award not delivered as a result thereof shall again be available for Awards under the Plan.  

(d) With respect to Awards other than Adjusted Awards, if the exercise price of any Option and/or the tax withholding obligations
relating to any Award are satisfied by delivering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of Shares issued net of the Shares delivered or attested to shall be deemed delivered for purposes of the limits
set forth in Section 2.6(a). To the extent any Shares subject to an Award are withheld to satisfy the exercise price (in the case of an Option) and/or the tax withholding 

  
 -8-









 
obligations relating to such Award, such Shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of the limits set forth in Section 2.6(a).  

ARTICLE III 

OPTIONS 

With respect to Adjusted Awards, the provisions below will be applicable only to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the
Separation Agreement and the terms of the Adjusted Award assumed under the Separation Agreement: 
 3.1 Award of
Options. The Committee, from time to time, and subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe, may grant to any Participant one or more options (not intended to qualify as
“incentive stock options” under section 422 of the Code) (“Options”) to purchase the number of Shares allotted by the Committee. The “Grant Date” for each Option shall be the date of the Committee
action to make the Award or, if later, the date selected by the Committee as the date of grant of the Option pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that with respect to any Adjusted Award, Grant Date shall mean the initial date on
which an Adjusted Award was granted under the applicable Sunoco Long-Term Incentive Plan. 
 3.2 Option Agreements.
The grant of an Option shall be evidenced by a written Option agreement, executed by the Company and the holder of an Option, stating the number of Shares subject to the Option evidenced thereby, the vesting terms, the treatment of the Option
upon a Participant’s termination of employment, and such other provisions as the Committee may from time to time determine. 
 3.3 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be not less than the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. In no event may any Option granted under this Plan be amended, other than pursuant to
Section 6.8, to decrease the exercise price thereof, be cancelled in conjunction with the grant of any new Option with a lower exercise price or otherwise be subject to any action that would be treated, for accounting purposes, as a
“repricing” of such Option, unless such amendment, cancellation, or action is approved by the Company’s stockholders. 
 3.4 Term and Exercise. The term and the vesting schedule of each Option shall be determined by the Committee. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term and the maximum term of
any Option shall be ten years. 
 3.5 Transferability. 

(a) No Option may be transferred by the Participant other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or, to the extent not
inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Code, pursuant to a domestic relations order under applicable provisions of law, and during the Participant’s lifetime the Option may be exercised only by the Participant; provided,
however, that, subject to such limits as the Committee may establish, the Committee, in its discretion, may allow the Participant to transfer an Option for no consideration to, or for the benefit of, an Immediate Family Member or to a bona
fide trust for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Member, or a partnership or limited liability company in which Immediate Family Members are the only partners or members. 

  
 -9-









 (b) A transfer pursuant to Section 3.5(a) may only be effected following advance
written notice from the Participant (or Participant’s estate) to the Committee, describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, and such transfer shall become effective only when recorded in the Company’s record of
outstanding Options. Any such transfer pursuant to Section 3.5(a) is further conditioned on the Participant and such Immediate Family Member or other transferee agreeing to abide by the Company’s then-current Option transfer guidelines. In
the discretion of the Committee, the right to transfer an Option pursuant to Section 3.5(a) also will apply to the right to transfer ancillary rights associated with such Option, and to the right to consent to any amendment to the applicable
Option agreement. 
 (c) Subsequent transfers by a transferee pursuant to Section 3.5(a) shall be prohibited except in
accordance with the laws of descent and distribution, or by will. 
 (d) Following any transfer pursuant to this
Section 3.5, any transferred Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, and the terms “Optionee” or “Participant” shall be deemed to include the
transferee; provided, however, that the terms governing exercisability of an Option that apply following any events of termination of employment shall apply based on the employment status of the original Optionee. Neither the Committee
nor the Company will have any obligation to inform any transferee of an Option of any expiration, termination, lapse or acceleration of such Option. The Company will have no obligation to register with any federal or state securities commission or
agency any Shares issuable or issued under an Option that has been transferred by a Participant under this Section 3.5. 

3.6 Manner of Payment. Each Option agreement shall set forth the procedure governing the exercise of the Option granted
thereunder, and shall provide that, upon such exercise in respect of any Shares subject thereto, the Optionee shall pay to the Company, in full, an amount (such amount, the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) equal to the product of
(a) the Exercise Price, and (b) the number of Shares with respect to which Optionee exercises the Option (together with payment for any taxes which the Company is required by law to withhold by reason of such exercise) with cash or with
Shares. A Participant may pay the Aggregate Exercise Price with respect to an Option that the Participant exercises through the delivery of Shares owned by the Optionee, or by foregoing delivery of Shares subject to the Option, in each case having
an aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined as of the date prior to exercise) equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price; provided, however, that any use of Shares to satisfy the Aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with this
provision must be in compliance with then-applicable accounting rules. 
 3.7 Issuance and Delivery of Shares. As soon as
practicable after receipt of payment, the Company shall deliver to the Optionee a certificate or certificates for, or otherwise register the Optionee on the books and records of the Company as a holder of, such Shares. The Optionee shall become a
shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares so registered, or represented by Share certificates so issued, and as such shall be fully entitled to receive dividends, to vote and to exercise all other rights of a shareholder except to the
extent otherwise provided in the Option agreement. 

  
 -10-









 3.8 Section 162(m) of the Code. The provisions of this Plan are intended to
ensure that all Options granted hereunder to any Participant who is or may be a “covered employee” (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) in the tax year in which such Option is expected to be deductible to the Company
qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, and all such Awards shall therefore be considered Qualified Performance-Based Awards and this Plan shall be interpreted and operated consistent with that intention. 

ARTICLE IV 

SHARE UNITS 
 With respect to Adjusted Awards, the provisions below will be applicable only to the extent that they are not inconsistent with the Separation Agreement and the terms of the Adjusted Award assumed under
the Separation Agreement: 
 4.1 Award of Share Units. The Committee, from time to time, and subject to the provisions of
the Plan, may grant to any Participant Awards denominated in Shares (“Share Units”) that will be settled, subject to the terms and conditions of the Share Units, in an amount in cash, Shares or both. At the time it authorizes the
grant of any Share Units, the Committee shall condition the vesting of the Share Units upon either (a) continued service of the applicable Participant (“Restricted Share Units”), (b) the attainment of performance goals, or
(c) the attainment of performance goals and the continued service of the applicable Participant (clauses (b) and (c) together, “Performance Share Units”). Settlement of Share Units shall be made either in Shares, or
in cash, at the sole discretion of the Committee. The medium of payment, whether in Shares or in cash, shall be set forth in the Committee’s resolution granting the Share Units and in the Share Unit agreement with the Participant. 

4.2 Share Unit Agreements. Share Units granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by written agreements stating the type of Share
Units, the number of Share Units evidenced thereby, the vesting and settlement terms, the form of payment, the treatment of Share Units upon a Participant’s termination of employment, and such other provisions as the Committee may from time to
time determine. 
 4.3 Dividend Equivalents. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Section 4.3 shall
govern the treatment of Dividend Equivalents. A holder of Share Units will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount equal to each cash dividend (“Dividend Equivalent”) the Company would have paid to such holder
had he, on the record date for payment of such dividend, been the holder of record of Shares equal to the number of outstanding Share Units. The Company shall establish a bookkeeping account on behalf of each Participant in which the Dividend
Equivalents allocated to such Participant (“Dividend Equivalent Account”) shall be credited. The Dividend Equivalent Account will not bear interest. Vesting and payment of Dividend Equivalents will correspond to the vesting and
settlement of the Share Units with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents relate. 
 4.4 Section 162(m) of the
Code. In the event that the Committee conditions the vesting of an Award of Share Units upon the attainment of Performance Goals or the attainment of Performance Goals and the continued service of the applicable Participant, the Committee


  
 -11-









 
may, prior to or at the time of grant, designate such an Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award. 
 ARTICLE V 
 Restricted Stock 

5.1 Award of Restricted Stock. 
 (a) The Committee, from time to time, and subject to the provisions of the Plan, may grant to any Participant Awards in the form of actual Shares that are subject to restrictions on transfer, the lapse of
which restrictions is contingent upon continued service and/or the satisfaction of performance conditions (“Restricted Stock”). Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including
book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the applicable Participant and, in the case of Restricted Stock, shall bear an
appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form: 
 “The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock 

represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions 
 (including forfeiture) of the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Long-Term 
 Performance
Enhancement Plan and an award agreement. Copies 
 of such plan and agreement are on file at the offices of SunCoke 

Energy, Inc., 1011 Warrenville Road, 6th Floor, Lisle, IL 60532.” 
 The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award of
Restricted Stock, the applicable Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Award. 
 (b) The Committee shall, prior to or at the time of grant, condition the vesting or transferability of an Award of Restricted Stock upon the continued service of the applicable Participant or the
attainment of Performance Goals, or the attainment of Performance Goals and the continued service of the applicable Participant. In the event that the Committee conditions the grant or vesting of an Award of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of
Performance Goals or the attainment of Performance Goals and the continued service of the applicable Participant, the Committee may, prior to or at the time of grant, designate such an Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award. 

(c) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award agreement, during the period, if any, set by the Committee,
commencing with the date of such Restricted Stock Award for which such vesting restrictions apply and until the expiration of such vesting restrictions (the “Restriction Period”), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell,

Stock granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by written agreements stating the number of Shares of Restricted Stock evidenced thereby, the vesting and settlement terms, the treatment of the Award upon a Participant’s

 5.3 Rights of a Stockholder. Except as provided in this Section 5 and in the applicable Award agreement, the applicable Participant shall have, with respect to the Shares of Restricted Stock,
all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding Common Stock, including, if applicable, the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive any cash dividends. Vesting and payment of any cash dividends will correspond to the vesting of

Stock Award shall be automatically reinvested in additional Restricted Stock, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock, and (b) subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 6.8, dividends payable in Common Stock
shall be paid in the form of Restricted Stock, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock. 
 5.4
Delivery of Unlegended Certificates. If and when any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied and the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Shares of Restricted Stock for which legended certificates have been issued,
unlegended certificates for such Shares shall be delivered to the Participant upon surrender of the legended certificates. 

ARTICLE VI 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 6.1 General Restriction. Each Award under the Plan shall be subject to the requirement that if, at any time, the Committee shall determine that: 

(a) the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state
or Federal law; or 
 (b) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body; or 

(c) an agreement by the recipient of an Award with respect to the disposition of Shares, 

is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Award or the issue or purchase of Shares thereunder, then such
Award may not be consummated in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or agreement shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 

6.2 Non-Assignability. Awards under the Plan shall not be assignable or transferable by the recipient thereof, except by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution, except as otherwise set forth in this Plan or except as otherwise determined by the Committee. 
 6.3 Right to Terminate Employment; Effect of Disaffiliation. Nothing in the Plan or in any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the
employment of the Company, or affect any right which the Company may have to terminate the employment of, or service by, such Participant. If an Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate as a result of the sale or other disposition by the Company or one
of its continuing

Affiliates of its ownership interest in the former Affiliate, or otherwise, then individuals who remain employed by such former Affiliate thereafter shall be considered for all purposes under the
Plan to have terminated their employment relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
 6.4 Non-Uniform
Determinations. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan (including without limitation, determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and timing of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards, and the
agreements evidencing same) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated. 

6.5 Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.4 with respect to Restricted Stock, the recipient of
any Award under the Plan shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect thereto unless and until Shares are issued on behalf of such recipient in “book-entry” form, in the records of the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, or
certificates have been issued for such Shares. 
 6.6 Leaves of Absence. The Committee shall be entitled to make such
rules, regulations and determinations as it deems appropriate under the Plan in respect of any leave of absence taken by the recipient of any Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to determine
(a) whether or not any such leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment within the meaning of the Plan and (b) the impact, if any, of any such leave of absence on Awards under the Plan theretofore made to any recipient
who takes such leaves of absence. 
 6.7 Newly Eligible Employees. The Committee shall be entitled to make such rules,
regulations, determinations and Awards as it deems appropriate in respect of any employee who becomes eligible to participate in the Plan or any portion thereof after the commencement of an Award or incentive period. 

6.8 Adjustments. 
 (a) In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company (each a “Share
Change”), the Committee or Board of Directors shall make an equitable and proportionate anti-dilution adjustment. Such mandatory adjustment may include a change in one or more of the following: (i) the aggregate number of Shares
reserved for issuance and delivery under Section 2.6(a) of the Plan; (ii) the individual limits under Section 2.6(b) of the Plan; (iii) the number of Shares or other securities subject to outstanding Awards under the Plan;
(iv) the exercise price of outstanding Options; and (v) other similar matters. 
 (b) In the event of a merger,
amalgamation, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, separation, spinoff, other distribution of stock or property (including any extraordinary cash or stock dividend), reorganization, stock rights offering, liquidation, Disaffiliation, or
similar event affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is not a Share Change (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), the Committee or the Board of Directors may 

  
 -14-









 
in its discretion make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to (i) the aggregate number and kind of Shares or other securities reserved for issuance and
delivery under Section 2.6(a) of the Plan; (ii) the individual limits under Section 2.6(b) of the Plan; (iii) the number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to outstanding Awards under the Plan; (iv) the exercise
price of outstanding Options; and (v) other similar matters, and such adjustments may include, without limitation, (A) the cancellation of outstanding Awards granted under the Plan in exchange for payments of cash, property or a
combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Committee or the Board of Directors in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the case of a Corporate Transaction with respect to which
holders of Common Stock receive consideration other than publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination by the Committee or the Board of Directors that the value of an Option shall for this purpose be
deemed to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each Share pursuant to such Corporate Transaction over the exercise price of such Option shall conclusively be deemed valid), (B) the substitution of other
property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company) for the Shares subject to outstanding Awards under the Plan, and (C) in connection with any Disaffiliation,
arranging for the assumption of Awards granted under the Plan, or replacement of Awards granted under the Plan with new Awards based on other property or other securities (including, without limitation, other securities of the Company and securities
of entities other than the Company), by the affected Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division or by the entity that controls such Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division following such Disaffiliation as well as any corresponding adjustments to Awards under the
Plan that remain based upon Company securities. 
 6.9 Change in Control. The Committee may provide in any Award
agreement for provisions relating to a Change in Control, including, without limitation, the acceleration of the exercisability of, or the lapse of restrictions or deemed satisfaction of goals with respect to, any outstanding Awards. 

6.10 Amendment of the Plan; Amendment of Awards. 
 (a) The Committee may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would materially impair the rights of the Participant with respect to a
previously granted Award without such Participant’s consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law, including without limitation Section 409A of the Code, stock exchange rules or accounting rules. In addition, no such
amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable law or the listing standards of the Applicable Exchange. 

(b) Subject to Section 3.3, the Committee may unilaterally amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, but no such amendment
shall cause a Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption or without the Participant’s consent materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to an Award, except such an amendment
made to cause the Plan or Award to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.

 6.11 Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents. Reinvestment of
dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment, and the payment of Shares with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of Restricted Stock Units, shall only be permissible if sufficient Shares are available
under Section 2.6 for such reinvestment or payment (taking into account then outstanding Awards). 
 6.12 Required
Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant for federal, state, local or foreign income or employment or other tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, such
Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. If determined by the
Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Shares, including Shares that are part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or
arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to such Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate,
including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Shares. 
 6.13 Section 409A
of the Code. It is the intention of the Company that no Award shall be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless and to the extent that the Committee specifically determines otherwise as provided in the
immediately following sentence, and the Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted accordingly. The terms and conditions governing any Awards that the Committee determines will be subject to Section 409A of the Code,
including any rules for elective or mandatory deferral of the delivery of cash or Shares pursuant thereto and any rules regarding treatment of such Awards in the event of a Change in Control, shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, and
shall comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” subject to
Section 409A of the Code, any payments (whether in cash, Shares or other property) to be made with respect to the Award upon the Participant’s termination of employment shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following
the Participant’s termination of employment if the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. 
 6.14 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 6.15 Separation Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that the terms of this Plan are inconsistent with the terms of an Adjusted Award, the terms of the
Adjusted Award shall be governed by the Separation Agreement, the applicable Sunoco Long-Term Incentive Plan and the award agreement entered into thereunder.
