TELEVISION STATION: KATU-TV 
 The following
shall constitute the agreement (the “Agreement”) between American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. (“ABC,” “Network,” “us” or “we”) and Fisher Broadcasting-Portland TV, L.L.C. (“you” or
“your” or “Fisher”), for program carriage and promotion on your station, KATU-TV, channel number 2.1, Portland, OR ( “Station”). We and you hereby mutually agree upon the following plan of Network cooperation. This
Agreement shall supersede and completely replace the Term Sheet Affiliation Agreement between you and us executed on August 12, 2009. Except as may be provided herein, any other agreements or amendments between you and us, including but not
limited to N/AP III, have also terminated. However, the Video Player Amendment dated September 11, 2008 shall continue for the term stated therein. 
  

	I.	NETWORK AFFILIATION AND PROGRAM SERVICE 

 A. Primary Affiliation. Your Station agrees to serve as our primary affiliate to broadcast Network Television Programs, as hereinafter defined, from the community to which Station is
licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein. This Agreement grants you a license to broadcast ABC’s copyrighted Network Television Programs on your Primary
Channel 2.1 (“Primary Channel”) only and to use ABC’s trade names and trademarks, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein. As used in this Agreement, “Network Television Program” means the complete
television program or series of such programs which is a part of the ABC Television Network schedule to be broadcast on a national television basis in the time period designated for such broadcast in Station’s time zone by ABC, subject to any
time period adjustments contained herein. (Network Television Program will also be referred to herein as “Network Programs,” “Television Programs,” “Programs” or “Programming” or in the singular of such
terms.) 
 B. First Call Rights. To enable your Station to serve as our primary affiliate, we agree to offer your
Station first call on the right to broadcast Network Television Programs on Station’s Primary Digital channel 2.1, and only that channel against other stations licensed to the community to which the Station is licensed by the FCC, during the
relevant time period established by ABC for their broadcast in the Station’s time zone, for over the air reception only

by the general public in places to which no admission is charged and no other form of transmission, except as otherwise provided for herein (“First Call Rights”). Each such offer shall
set forth the terms of acceptance. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) the First Call Rights granted to your Station hereunder with respect to the Network Television Programs shall relate to the free, over-the-air broadcast only, and shall not
extend to, or in any way restrict, any other exploitation by ABC of such Network Television Programs at any time, in any other media anywhere, including Station’s community of license; and (ii) ABC shall have the right to authorize any
television broadcasting station, regardless of the community to which it is licensed by the FCC, to broadcast any Network presentation of a subject we deem to be of immediate national significance including, but not limited to, a Presidential
address. 
  

	 	1.	First Call Offer. 

  

	 	a.	Regularly Scheduled Programs. You agree that, within fifteen (15) days following its receipt of our offer via the Affiliate Communication Systems
(“ACS”) (or any replacement system) of a First Call Offer to a regularly scheduled Network Television Program, Station will, subject to its clearance obligations and preemption rights as provided in Section I.C.1 below, advise us of any
rejection of the Program by sending any two of an email, letter, or facsimile to Station’s affiliate relations representative, whose contact information has already been provided. Without such writings, such offer will be deemed accepted.
Acceptance by Station of our First Call Offer shall constitute Station’s commitment to broadcast the subject Network Television Program(s) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of our offer to Station. Broadcast of the
Program during the Network designated time period for Station’s time zone is referred to herein as “in pattern”. Acceptance of a Program, and its complete in pattern broadcast or broadcast otherwise in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the First Call Offer, is referred to herein as “to clear” or “clearance” of a Program. 

  

	 	b.	Other Programs. With respect to any Network Program not regularly scheduled or not part of Station’s clearance obligations as provided in Section I.C.1
below, Station will advise us of its acceptance or rejection of our First Call Offer within seventy-two (72) hours (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) after such offer has been received at Station. However, if the first broadcast
referred to in our offer is scheduled to occur within less than fifteen (15) days after the date of our offer with respect to regularly scheduled Network Programs or less than seventy-two (72) hours after our offer has been received at
Station with respect to Network Programs not regularly scheduled, notification of acceptance or rejection of such offer shall be made as promptly as possible, but in no event after the first broadcast time specified in such offer. A failure to
advise us of acceptance or rejection of a Program within the applicable time period will be deemed to be an acceptance of the offered Program. 

  

	 	c.	 Program Related Material. Clearance of a Program includes the unaltered carriage and pass through of all content that the Network reasonably
associates with Network Programs and commercials (“Program Related Material”), which content is designed to attract and maintain television viewership (including viewership of advertisements)

  

			
	[***]	  	“Designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the
Commission.”

	KATU-TV Portland	  		  	

  

	 	
and is delivered with the Program for broadcast during Network time periods. Program Related Material includes all enhanced or interactive Program content and enhanced or interactive
advertisements (including associated URLs and triggering devices) as well as: (i) closed captioning information; (ii) program id codes; (iii) broadcast flags and watermarks; (iv) rating information and data; and (v) SAP
feeds. 

  

	 	d.	First Run. The substantial majority of the Network’s Programming offered to Station in each daypart in each television season (September to September) will
not have been previously telecast on ABC or another domestic television network or any domestic cable or satellite channel or on other video delivery systems within the Station’s DMA. However, this restriction will not apply to theatrical
movies, re-runs of Network Programs previously offered to Station or Kids Programming (if such Programming continues to be offered to Station) and will not apply during a force majeure event defined in Section V.E, below.

  

	 	2.	Network Program Offerings. The Station will receive First Call Offers with respect to: 

 

	 	a.	Network Sponsored Programs. “Network Sponsored Programs,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean those Network Television Programs which contain one or
more commercial announcements paid for by or on behalf of one or more ABC Network advertisers. Subject to the clearance obligations in Section I.C.1, below, Station agrees to broadcast Network Sponsored Programs in their entirety, including but not
limited to the Network commercial announcements ordered for your Station, Program Related Material, Network identifications, Program promotional material or credit announcements contained in such Programs which Station accepts, without interruption,
modification, technical degradation, deletion or addition of any kind (except for local breaking news or emergency notification crawls). It is also understood that no commercial announcement, promotional announcement or public service announcement
will be broadcast by Station during any interval within a Network Program designated by ABC as being for the sole purpose of making a Station identification announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Station may substitute other Network
promotional announcements in lieu of promotional material which is inaccurate as it pertains to Station. 

  

	 	b.	Network Sustaining, Cooperative and Spot Carrier Programs. 

  

	 	i)	We will from time to time offer you live or recorded Network Television Programs identified as sustaining programs, cooperative programs or spot carrier programs. You
agree to broadcast such Programs which you accept, subject to the clearance obligation in Section I.C.1, in their entirety, including all Program Related Material, without interruption, modification, technical degradation, deletion or addition of
any kind (except for FCC mandated local breaking news or emergency notification crawls). 

  

			
	[***]	  	“Designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the
Commission.”

 3 

					
	KATU-TV Portland	  		  	

  
  

	 	ii)	The Network sustaining Programs which we may offer to you may not, without our prior written consent, be sold by your Station for commercial sponsorship or interrupted
for commercial announcements or used for any purpose other than sustaining broadcasting. 

  

	 	iii)	You may carry the cooperative or spot carrier Programs on the same basis as regular sustaining Programs or you may offer them for commercial sponsorship on terms and
conditions specified by us at the time such Programs are offered to you. 

  

	 	C.	Program Clearance. 

  

	 	1.	Clearance Obligations. With respect to the existing Network television service, and subject only to the Authorized Preemptions defined in this Section I.C.1,
Station shall clear in-pattern all ABC Programs in all time periods as scheduled by the Network during the 2008/2009 television season for so long as ABC continues to program those time periods. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith for the
clearance of any Programs that may be offered generally to ABC affiliates in time periods that are not currently programmed by Network. Moreover, Station will not be required to clear a Program if after notice from the Station and a reasonable
opportunity to cure, (a) ABC fails to deliver contractually mandated First Call Right and First Run protections for such Program, (b) such Program does not comply with the bandwidth or other technical requirements set forth in Section I.H.
hereof, or (c) such Program is not sufficient for Station to comply with the then-current FCC (i) video description requirements applying to that Station for that daypart if the Program is broadcast in pattern, or (ii) closed
captioning requirements applying to that Program if broadcast in pattern, (d) the Program is not cleared or rejected by Station’s exercise of its Right to Reject under FCC Rules as provided in Section V.C. below, or (e) the Program is
not cleared or is preempted by reason of force majeure (each an “Authorized Preemption”). Station will immediately return to in- pattern clearance once ABC restores or delivers said rights 

Once ABC ends its current provision of FCC Compliant Children’s Programming on August 27, 2011, then ABC will return the time
periods that had included the subject Programs to Station for local programming. 
  

	 	2.	Preemptions. Station may preempt Network Programs by reason of an Authorized Preemption. No other preemptions are authorized. A preemption of less than thirty
(30) minutes will be considered as a preemption of the entire half hour. Notice of preemptions shall be made in compliance with Section D.1, below. The acceptance by Network of any offer by Station to broadcast the preempted Program at another
date or time (“Makegoods”) shall be at Network’s sole discretion. 

  

	 	a.	Preemption Reimbursement. For any preemption of a Network Program supplied pursuant to this Agreement other than an Authorized Preemption, Station will reimburse
Network, within thirty (30) days of invoice, an amount equal to the product of: (i) the number of half hour preemptions; (ii) the Station’s Hourly Network Reimbursement Rate (as set forth below); and (iii) the appropriate
Reimbursement Matrix percentage set forth below.

	 	b.	Reimbursement Adjustments. Commencing with calendar year 2011 and continuing throughout the remainder of the Term, the Hourly Network Reimbursement Rates shall
be adjusted on an annual basis by an amount equal to the product of the immediately preceding year’s Hourly Network Reimbursement Rate multiplied by the percentage change in total Network sales revenue (as published by SNL Kagan or another
mutually agreed industry source). 

  

	 	c.	Makegood Adjustments. Subject to the Right to Reject, Station shall make a good faith offer to broadcast a Makegood of the preempted Program. If the proposed
Makegood is approved by ABC, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, the preemption reimbursement payment to ABC will be reduced by the value of the Makegood as reasonably determined by ABC. 

 

	 	D.	Failure to Clear Programs.  

  

	 	1.	Notice. With respect to Programs already accepted pursuant to the First Call Offer in Section I.B.1, Station shall give us prompt notice of any refusal to
broadcast the Program(s), rejection of the Program(s) or substitution of different Program(s) no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the air date of such Programming, except where the nature of the substitute Program or other cause for
preemption makes such notice impracticable (e.g., coverage of breaking news or other unscheduled events), in which case Station agrees to give us as much notice as is reasonable under the circumstances. Such notice shall include a statement of the
reason(s) Station believes that a rejected or refused Network Program is unsatisfactory, unsuitable or contrary to the public interest, and/or the reason why a substituted Program is of greater local or national importance. 

 

	 	2.	 First Call Termination - Unauthorized Preemptions. In addition to all other remedies, we shall have the right, upon fourteen
(14) days’ notice, to terminate Station’s First Call Rights on any individual Program or series of Network 

  

			
	[***]	  	“Designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the
Commission.”

 5 

					
	KATU-TV Portland	  		  	

  

	 	
Programs already accepted hereunder and withdraw all future episodes of that Program or series of Programs if one or more individual Program episode(s) is pre-empted partially or in its entirety
by you for any reason other than by reason of an Authorized Preemption. 

  

	 	3.	First Call Termination - Multiple Preemptions. Subject to the Right to Reject, we shall also have the right, upon fourteen (14) days’ notice, to
terminate Station’s First Call Rights concerning any Program or series of Network Programs already accepted hereunder and to withdraw all remaining episodes of that series for the rest of the then-current broadcast television season if Station
fails to clear in pattern three (3) or more individual Program episodes or if the Program is otherwise pre-empted partially or in its entirety by Station three (3) or more times during any consecutive thirteen (13) week period for any
reason. However, First Call Rights will not be withdrawn if: (i) Station elects to make a good faith offer of a Makegood for the preempted Program(s), with ABC’s consent to such offer not to be unreasonably withheld; (ii) the
preemptions are caused by Force Majeure events; or (iii) the preemptions are caused by ABC’s failure to provide First Call, First Run, bandwidth protections, video description or closed captioning as required in section I.C.1, above.

  

	 	4.	First Call - Future Rights. We reserve the right not to offer Station First Call Rights for the current and subsequent broadcast seasons on any Network Program
or series of Network Programs as to which we have terminated Station’s First Call Rights, and Network may also refuse to offer Station First Call Rights for the current and subsequent seasons of a Network Program or series of Network Programs
if Station has refused or failed to accept or to clear that program or series of Programs for any reason other than an Authorized Preemption. 

  

	 	5.	Agreement Termination. A failure to accept a Program or series of Programs pursuant to the clearance obligations set forth in Section I.C.1, above, or failing to
broadcast said Program or series in accordance with the Agreement after acceptance, shall constitute a failure to clear the Program. In addition to the measures outlined in Sections D.1 -4, above, if Station fails at any time to comply with the
Program clearance requirements set forth in Section I.C.1, above (except for an Authorized Preemption), and we give you written notice of such failure, Station shall have fourteen (14) days following receipt of such notice, as required by
Section V.N, below, for the first such failure to return to complying fully with the clearance requirements and to broadcast, if requested by Network, an acceptable Makegood of the affected Program. The cure period will be reduced to seven
(7) days for any notices for the next and any subsequent failures to clear. Only one such notice will be given for any specific failure to clear. If by the end of such period, Station fails to return to complying fully with such obligations,
except for Authorized Preemptions, we shall have the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days written notice.

	KATU-TV Portland	  		  	

  

	 	E.	Local News and NewsOne.  

  

	 	1.	Subject to FCC Rules, Station agrees to broadcast locally produced news programs of at least one-half hour each leading into to: (a) ABC’s morning news
program, (b) ABC’s evening news program, and (c) ABC’s late night programming, as those Programs are currently scheduled. A failure to satisfy this requirement may, at ABC’s option, result in a reduction in local inventory
or termination of this agreement after reasonable notice and an opportunity to cure as provided in Section V.P below. 

  

	 	2.	Station will fully participate in ABC NewsOne (or any successor affiliate newsgathering service) pursuant to the current NewsOne agreement between the parties.
The parties hereby agree to a weekly NewsOne fee of $[***] per week subject to annual increases of up to three percent (3%) or the percentage change in CPI, whichever is lower. If at any time during the term of the Affiliation Agreement ABC and
the ABC Affiliates Association reach agreement on the terms and conditions of a replacement NewsOne Agreement, Station may elect to opt into the replacement Agreement. 

 

	 	F.	Promotion and Branding.  

  

	 	1.	Baseline Promotion Plan. Subject to FCC Rules, Station will participate in the Baseline Promotion Plan (“BPP”). Station will provide eleven
(11) local commercial spots per day (positions and lengths illustrated below) for promotion of Network Programming. Network shall designate the use of such spots. ABC will provide alternative spots in the event that the Network program to be
promoted is preempted by Station pursuant to an Authorized Preemption. An illustrative initial designation of Network priorities is included below. 

 ABC Baseline Promotion Weekday Schedule:

	 	2.	Network Availabilities. In return for complete participation in the BPP, Station will have access to four (4) additional thirty-second (:30) Primetime spots
per week, as well as the Network’s authorization to convert seven (7) current thirty- second (:30) local news brief opportunities in Primetime to local sale (“BPP Incentive Inventory”).

Commission.”

 7 

					
	KATU-TV Portland	  		  	

  
  

	 	3.	Baseline BPP Reimbursement. In the event Station fails to meet all of the promotional obligations of the BPP schedule as outlined above, and fails to offer an
acceptable makegood of a missed BPP spot, then: (i) Station shall reimburse to ABC the value of all unaired BPP spots calculated using market rates provided by Spot Quotation and Data Inc. (“SQAD”); (ii) Station shall return the
value of any Primetime spots from the Network Availabilities (referenced above) that Station may have sold during the violation period with such calculation being based on Station’s Hourly BPP Reimbursement Rate; and (iii) until Station is
in full-compliance and has returned value to Network as described above, Station shall not have the right to BPP Incentive Inventory. Value will be returned to the Network in the form of cash receipts. In event SQAD data is not available, the value
of unaired BPP spots will be calculated using a mutually agreed upon industry source. 

  

	 	4.	Branding. Subject to FCC Rules, Station agrees to prominently co-brand with ABC (to the extent consistent with past practices) in order to closely link Station
with the Network’s identity, consistent with the Network creative guidelines and specifications. Co-branding encompasses, but is not limited to the inclusion of the ABC corporate logo in the Station’s local identification, and encompasses
all on-air (e.g., during all dayparts, graphics, voice over, etc.) and off-air (e.g., signage, print, cable, radio, outdoor, website and other digital media, etc.) promotion. This limited license to use ABC’s trademarks and trade names is
subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein. Usage of the ABC corporate logo and Station logo must be consistent with Network creative guidelines and specifications and must be approved by ABC Affiliate Marketing. Station will add the
ABC logo element to Station’s local identification in a phased manner that will be accomplished when the Station makes its next update to its on-air graphic package and its website. Off-air materials will be updated when the Station re-supplies
its print, signage or other similar materials. 

 G. Program Delivery. By means satisfactory to us,
we will arrange, at our own expense, for Programs to be made available to Station via satellite or other delivery platform or method. We may require that Station purchase the Network approved reception devices, hardware and software, necessary to
receive ABC Network Programs for broadcast under this Agreement in accordance with Network’s then-current Network-signal reception equipment standards, which standards will be reasonable and consistent with those applicable to Network
affiliates generally within each applicable time zone. 
  

	 	H.	Digital Program Transmission. 

  

	 	1.	 Subject to allowable preemptions in Section I.C.1 and I.C.2, Station agrees to transmit on its Primary Channel the digital Primary Network Feed
of all Network Programs, including HDTV Programs and Program Related Material, in a technical format consistent with ATSC standards (but using the HDTV format chosen by Fisher), without alteration, modification, insertion, degradation or down
conversion of any type. However, Station may sue proven compression technology that allows it to reduce the amount of mbps otherwise needed to broadcast the complete Primary Digital Feed and Program Related Material, while otherwise maintaining the
Broadcast Standards and maintaining the functionality of Program Related Material, if the compression does not noticeably reduce the audio or picture quality . Station need not devote more than 2 mbps to

  

			
	[***]	  	“Designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the
Commission.”

 8 

					
	KATU-TV Portland	  		  	

  

	 	
the broadcast of Program Related Material. The parties will negotiate in good faith regarding any request that more than 2 mbps be devoted to Program Related Material, and will also negotiate in
good faith regarding alternative delivery methods for any elements of the Program Related Material that may need to be deleted by Station to stay within the 2 mbps limit. Program Related Material must be designed to be received by the Station and
transmitted during Network time periods (i.e. it cannot require storage at Station level or broadcast during local time periods without Station’s consent. 

 

	 	2.	Station agrees not to make any use of its digital spectrum that would interfere with its obligations under the Affiliation Agreement. Station shall have the
absolute and unconditional right to use any digital broadcast spectrum not needed for that purpose. However, Station will make a good faith effort to provide reasonable notice to ABC before adopting any alternative uses of its spectrum for the sole
purpose of allowing ABC the opportunity to offer to Station an alternative use of that spectrum. This is not intended to create an option, right of first refusal or of last negotiation in favor of either party. 

I. Commercial Inventory. Station will have a Guaranteed Primetime Inventory Level. Subject to adjustment as described
below, the Guaranteed Primetime Inventory Level shall be defined as an average of 50 minutes and 15 seconds per week of Primetime Inventory to be offered for the Term at substantially the same times and durations as in the 2008-2009 television
season. The Station will receive a Guaranteed Local Inventory Level in other dayparts at substantially the same times and duration, and in substantially the same amount, as was offered to Station in the 2008-2009 television season. This includes
local inventory currently received by Station by reason of continued in-pattern clearance of Nightline for so long as the clearance continues. These inventory levels are based on: (a) full in-pattern clearance of the Network schedule;
(b) the amount of Network Primetime and other daypart Programming scheduled as of the date of this Agreement; and (c) the live clearance of Nightline and JKL. The number of units comprising the Guaranteed Primetime Inventory Level and
Guaranteed Local Inventory level shall be subject to adjustment for: (a) the number of local units in Network Programming that is not cleared by the Station; (b) the number of local units that are lost as a result of sustaining
Programming, or special event Programming (although any reduction in Local Inventory for special event Programming that exceeds past practices must be in proportion to the reduction in Network inventory); (c) the number of local units lost as
result of a reduction in the amount of Network Programming that formed the basis for the inventory calculation above; and (d) failure to clear or the cancellation of Nightline (decrease of four thirty- second primetime incentive units per week)
or JKL. In the event that ABC does not offer the Station its Guaranteed Primetime Local Inventory Level and/or Guaranteed Local Inventory Level, ABC shall make the Station whole for the then economic value to the Station of any shortfall by, at
ABC’s option: (a) providing other local commercial availabilities of such value; or adjusting the Station’s License Fee (as defined in Schedule A, Section 1) by that amount; or a combination of (a) and (b) that would
make Stations whole. 
 II. TERM. This Agreement shall be effective from September 1, 2009 (the “Effective Date”)
and continue through and including August 31, 2014 (the “Term”).

located, or any lesser zone pursuant to any geographic restrictions contained in the FCC rules and regulations, now or as subsequently modified. 

  

	 	2.	Network non-duplication protection shall extend only to all Network Programs that Station clears in accordance with this Agreement. Protection shall not extend
to individually pre-empted programs of an otherwise cleared series or programs that Station fails to clear.

designated by Network for broadcast of the Program in Station’s local time zone. 

  

	 	4.	You are under no obligation to exercise in whole or in part the Network non- duplication rights granted under this Agreement. 

B. License Fees and MVPD Retransmission. Commencing on September 1, 2009, and continuing for the remainder of the
Term, the Station shall pay to ABC certain License Fees, and is authorized to grant retransmission consent for the Network Television Programs as broadcast on its Primary Channel, as license fees and retransmission consent are defined in Schedule A,
attached hereto and incorporated as though fully set forth herein. 
  

	IV.	CUT-IN ANNOUNCEMENTS 

 A. Cut-In Announcements. “Cut-in announcements,” as used herein, shall mean the substitution of a special commercial or promotional announcement in place of a regularly scheduled
Network commercial. 
  

	 	1.	Upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice, you shall, at our request, utilize such personnel and equipment as may be necessary to:
(a) broadcast cut-in announcements from Station alone, or (b) originate from Station cut-in announcements to one or more other stations, without regard to whether or not Station is requested to broadcast said cut-in announcement(s).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you may refuse to broadcast any such cut-in announcement in the community to which Station is licensed by the FCC if, in your opinion, it does not serve in the public interest, convenience or
necessity, but you shall nevertheless utilize such personnel and equipment as may be necessary to originate such cut-in announcement(s) from Station to one or more other Network-affiliated stations. 

 

	 	2.	Cut-in announcements shall be broadcast only when authorized by us and then only in accordance with the instructions furnished to you. You will be supplied, as
promptly as possible, with the material and instructions for these announcements.

	 	3.	For each Program during which such cut-in announcements are included, if we have requested your assistance your Station will receive [***] dollars ($[***])
hereto, unless the cut-in involves the substitution of Station’s local commercial, in which case no compensation or reimbursement will be paid to the Station. 

B. Local Tag Services. A “Local Tag Announcement,” as used herein, shall mean a visual commercial announcement,
made by you on behalf of a local dealer of a Network advertiser, which announcement shall not exceed ten (10) seconds within a one-minute Network commercial announcement or five (5) seconds within a thirty-second Network commercial
announcement. You shall project each Local Tag Announcement by means of not more than two (2) slides.

Announcements. 

  

	 	2.	Local Tag Announcements shall be broadcast in accordance with our instructions. The Network advertiser shall supply to you or purchase from you, as promptly as
possible, the slide(s) for each Local Tag Announcement. Local Tag Announcements shall not be accompanied by oral announcements unless: (i) directly requested of you by the Network advertiser; and (ii) the Network advertiser has assumed
sole responsibility for payment of such oral announcements. 

  

	 	3.	For each Program during which Local Tag Announcements are included, station will receive [***] dollars ($[***]) hereto. 

 

	V.	GENERAL 

 A.
Program Substitution. We may at any time, upon notice to Station, substitute for any scheduled Network Program another Network Program, except that if such other Network Program in our judgment involves a special event of public interest
or importance, no such notice is required. 
 B. Program Cancellation. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
prevent or hinder us, nor shall it be construed to prevent or hinder us, at any time upon notice to Station as soon as practicable, from canceling one or more Network Programs, whether sponsored or sustaining, or from cancelling any particular block
of Network Programming. If ABC cancels a Program and returns the time period to Station, then the Monthly Fee (as defined in the attached Schedule A) shall be reduced as set forth in Schedule A, and the remaining Network Television Programs will
continue to be cleared by Station as required by this Agreement. 
 C. Right to Reject. With respect to Network
Programs offered or already accepted pursuant to this Agreement, nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent or hinder Station from exercising its rights under FCC rules to: 

 

	 	1.	Reject or refuse Network Programs which Station reasonably believes to be unsatisfactory, unsuitable or contrary to the public interest; or

Commission.”

	KATU-TV Portland	  		  	

  
  

	 	2.	Substitute a Program, which in Station’s good faith opinion, is of greater local or national importance. 

D. Carriage Reports. Station will submit to us in writing, upon forms provided by us for that purpose, such reports
covering Network Programs broadcast by Station as ABC may reasonably request from time to time. To verify your carriage of Network commercial announcements, identifications and Program promotional material as well as verifying Station’s
compliance with Network’s Program bookings and formats, we may require delivery by Station, within five (5) days following our request, copies of your official Station logs, air checks or broadcast tapes, and we may install at Station,
monitoring equipment and attendant software that monitors your Station’s broadcast signal. 
 E. Force
Majeure. Neither Station nor we shall incur any liability hereunder because of our failure to deliver, or Station’s failure to broadcast, any or all Network Programs (including advertisements and Program Related Material) due to:

  

	 	1.	Failure of facilities; 

  

	 	2.	Labor disputes; or 

  

	 	3.	Causes beyond the control of the party so failing to deliver or broadcast. 

F. Transmitter Modifications. Station agrees to notify us of any application made to the FCC to modify Station’s
transmitter location, power, frequency or hours of operation within ten (10) days following the filing of such application. In the event that the transmitter location, power, frequency or hours of operation of Station are changed at any time so
that Station is of less value to us as a Network outlet than it is as of the effective date of this Agreement including, but not limited to, as a result of additional overlap of Station’s broadcast signal with that of another ABC affiliate, we
will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice. 
 G. Time
Brokerage/LMAs. Except upon our prior written consent upon no less than thirty (30) days advance written notice from Station, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, you agree that Station will not enter into any local
marketing, shared services, time brokerage or other similar agreement whereby another party or entity programs the Station, manages it or otherwise operates key Station functions. If you or Station enters into such an agreement without our written
consent, we shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon fourteen (14) days’ advance written notice. 
  

	 	H.	Assignment.  

  

	 	1.	 Except as provided for herein, this Affiliation Agreement with ABC cannot be assigned or transferred without timely written notice to ABC as
provided below and without the consent of ABC, which consent may be withheld only in the following three circumstances: (a) if the assignee or transferee controls or is controlled by or is under common control with an entity that distributes
ten (10) or more hours of Primetime television programming per week to at least twenty-five (25) affiliated television licensees in ten (10) or more states; (b) if the assignee or

  

			
	[***]	  	“Designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the
Commission.”

 12 

					
	KATU-TV Portland	  		  	

  

	 	
transferee is not reasonably qualified to own and operate the Station; or (c) on the basis of reasonable business concerns that arise from prior commercial dealings of ABC with the assignee
or transferee; provided, however, ABC shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or transfer in the case of (b) or (c). Further, the consent of ABC to assignment of the Affiliation Agreement will, under no circumstances, be
required in those instances where assignment of the Station’s broadcast license or transfer of control of the license may be approved by the FCC by use of a “short form” assignment or transfer application under Section 73.3540(f)
of the FCC Rules, although ABC must be given notice of the filing of that application as provided below. You shall provide written notice by mail or facsimile to ABC within thirty (30) days following the earlier of the execution of a binding
agreement to assign or transfer control of the Station’s broadcast license, or the filing of an application to the FCC to approve a transfer of control, which notice shall include the name of the proposed assignee or transferee. ABC shall have
the unilateral right to terminate the Affiliation Agreement if you fail to provide notice of an assignment, transfer or application as provided in this Section. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice, ABC shall provide written
notice to you by mail or facsimile whether it consents to the assignment of the Affiliation Agreement and if it does consent, ABC will concurrently with the giving of such notice execute and deliver to the Station its written consent to the
assignment or transfer and thereafter timely execute and deliver such other documents as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section. ABC’s failure to provide such written notice within the thirty (30) day
period shall constitute ABC’s consent to the assignment of the Affiliation Agreement, and ABC shall, accordingly, execute and deliver to Station such written documents as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate its approval of the assignment.

  

	 	2.	Unless we exercise our right to withhold our consent to an assignment or transfer of your Affiliation Agreement as provided above, the Affiliation Agreement
shall be binding on any assignee or transferee of your Station’s license, and you agree that you shall not consummate such assignment or transfer of control of your Station’s license until you have procured and delivered to us, in form as
may reasonably be requested by us, the acknowledgement of the proposed assignee or transferee that, upon consummation of the assignment or transfer of control of your Station’s license, the assignee or transferee will assume and perform the
Affiliation Agreement in its entirety without any limitation of any kind. Upon receipt of said acknowledgement, you shall be released from any liability or obligation that thereafter accrues under the Affiliation Agreement. 

 

	 	3.	ABC may assign this Agreement and all rights herein to any party acquiring all or any portion of our network television business or to any entity controlling us,
controlled by us, or under common control with us. 

 I. Limited Transmission Rights. Your and
Station’s rights to broadcast ABC’s Network Television Programs and to limited use of ABC’s trademarks and trade names under the terms and conditions of this Agreement are limited to the First Call Rights to broadcast Network
Television Programs pursuant to the terms hereof. Except as otherwise provided for herein and except with our prior written consent and except upon such terms and conditions as we may impose, you agree not to authorize, cause, permit or enable the
use of any Program which we supply to you hereunder for any purpose other than broadcasting by Station pursuant 

  

			
	[***]	  	“Designates portions of this document that have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the
Commission.”

 13 

					
	KATU-TV Portland	  		  	

  
 
to the terms hereof, in the community in which Station is licensed by the FCC, for over the air reception by the general public in places to which no admission is charged. You agree when you are
authorized to record a Program for subsequent broadcast that the recording will be broadcast not more than once in its entirety and, unless otherwise required by law, will be erased or deleted from your system within six (6) hours following
use. All rights not specifically granted to you by this Agreement shall be retained and fully exploitable by Network. 
 J.
Rebroadcast/Recording Restrictions. Except with our prior written consent (or except for your right to grant retransmission consent to MVPDs, as provided in the MVPD Retransmission Section III.B, above) and upon such terms and conditions
as we may impose, which consent may be withheld for any reason, you and Station agree not to authorize, cause, permit or enable: (1) any recording on film, tape or otherwise to be made or broadcast of a Program which has been, or is being,
broadcast on the Network; or (2) a rebroadcast or a retransmission to be made of the broadcast transmission of Station during any hours when Station is broadcasting a Program provided by Network. 

K. Promotion Restrictions. With respect to any and all promotional material issued by Station or under your direction or
control, you agree to abide by any and all restrictions of which we advise you pertaining to the promotion of a Network Program(s) scheduled to be broadcast by Station in its community, including, without limitation, on-the-air promotion,
billboards, and newspaper or other printed advertisements, announcements or promotions. 
 L. License Maintenance.
You agree to maintain for Station such licenses, including performing rights licenses as now are or hereafter may be in general use by television broadcasting stations and necessary for you to broadcast the television Programs which we furnish to
you hereunder. Network will continue to clear all music in the repertory of ASCAP, SESAC and of BMI used in our Network Programs, thereby licensing the broadcasting of such music in such Programs over Station. You will be responsible for all music
license requirements for any commercial or other material inserted by you within or adjacent to our Network Programs in accordance with this Agreement. 
 M. Entire Agreement; Inducements; Waiver. No inducements, representations or warranties except as specifically set forth herein have been made by any of the parties to this Agreement. This
Agreement replaces any prior drafts and the signed term sheet dated August 12, 2009, and this Agreement supersedes any negotiations or discussions regarding the affiliation of KATU with ABC. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties hereto and no provision thereof shall be changed or modified, nor shall this Agreement be discharged in whole or in part, except by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom the change, modification
or discharge is claimed or sought to be enforced; nor shall any waiver of any of the conditions or provisions of this Agreement be effective and binding unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is
asserted, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or of any other provision.

service; (ii) on the third business day following the date of mailing whether or not accepted by the addressee; or (iii) at the time of facsimile transmission with a confirmation of receipt, as the case may be.

accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict-of-laws thereof. For the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving this Agreement or its performance, and unless such matter is subject to the
primary jurisdiction of the FCC, each party hereto hereby submits to the jurisdiction of all Federal and State courts sitting in the County of New York and agree that such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit, action or proceeding
involving this Agreement or its performance. 
 P. Right to Terminate; Termination Effect. If you fail to make
timely payments, attempt to assign your rights under this Agreement in violation of Section V(H), or otherwise violate the terms of this Agreement and/or any amendments, we will give you written notice and you will, following receipt, have thirty
(30) days for an opportunity to cure the default. If the default is not cured within that period, we have the right to terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days notice. This notice and cure period will apply unless a different notice or
cure period is applicable under a specific provision of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, the consent theretofore granted to broadcast our Network Programs or use ABC logos, trademarks or trade names shall be deemed immediately
withdrawn and you shall have no further rights of any nature whatsoever in such Programs, logos, trademarks or trade names. 

Q. Indemnification. You and Station agree to indemnify and hold Network and its parent corporation, subsidiaries, and
affiliates (excluding non-owned broadcast affiliates) and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all third-party claims made against us and all damages, liabilities, costs
and expenses incurred as a result of such claims, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of (a) the broadcast by Network of any material supplied by you to Network in accordance with this Agreement, (b) Station’s
broadcast of any material not provided by Network to you in accordance with this Agreement, and/or (c) any actual or alleged breach by you or Station of any of your or Station’s representations, warranties, agreements, covenants or
obligations herein. We agree to indemnify and hold you harmless from and against any and all third-party claims made against you and all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred as a result of such claims, including reasonable
attorney’s fees, arising out of (a) the broadcast by you of any material provided by Network to you in accordance with this Agreement, and/or (b) any actual or alleged breach by us of any of our representations, warranties,
agreements, covenants or obligations herein. It is understood that the foregoing indemnities shall apply only with respect to materials that are broadcast without change from the form and content in which such materials were originally provided and
in strict conformance to any instructions or limitations given by the party providing the material. A party seeking indemnification (“Indemnitee”) shall give the indemnifying party (“Indemnitor”) prompt written notice of any
claim or litigation to which its indemnity applies. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume the defense of any claim or litigation to which its indemnity applies, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in such defense, as
necessary, provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall

not be precluded from retaining separate counsel, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any such claim or litigation. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Indemnitor fails or
refuses to assume the defense of any claim, action, or cause of action to which its indemnity applies (whether or not a suit has been formally brought), it shall be responsible for payment of any settlement of any such claim, action or cause of
action reached by the Indemnitee, as well as the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such claim, action or cause of action and/or in reaching such settlement. The provisions of this
paragraph V Q. shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. 
 R. No Joint Venture.
Nothing in this Agreement shall create any partnership, association, joint venture, fiduciary or agency relationship between Network and you or Station. 
 S. Headings. The headings herein are for convenience purposes only and shall not create or modify the meanings of any term or provision of this Agreement. 

If, after examination, you find that the arrangement herein proposed is satisfactory to you, please indicate your acceptance by signing the copy of this
Agreement enclosed for that purpose and returning such executed copy to us.

 SCHEDULE A 
 I. LICENSE FEES. In return for the license of Network Programming to Station and the other rights granted to Station by ABC, Station shall pay a license fee (the “License Fee”)
[***] 
 [***] 
 3. Fee Reduction. In the event that ABC vacates one or more of the Network time periods that comprise each Station’s live in-pattern clearance requirement, and returns that time period
to each Station for replacement programming (as such replacement programming is determined by each Station), then the License Fees shall be proportionately reduced in accordance with the formula stated below commencing with the month that follows
the return of the time period to each Station. For dayparts represented in the below schedule that are expressed in whole hours, the reduction will be calculated on a pro rata basis for any schedule reductions that are less than a full hour of
Programming.

	(1) 	 All of the references to specific Programming in the daypart column represent the time periods that such Programming currently fills. For example, if
an individual Program is moved to a different Network time period, and its current time period were vacated, then Station would be entitled to the fee reduction set forth in the table above. If, however, the Program were to be moved to a different
Network time period and ABC were to provide replacement Programming for the Program’s former time period, Station would not be entitled to the above fee reduction. 

	(2) 	 Daytime includes The View and the 3-Hour Soaps Block. 

 II. [***] 
 III. PAYMENT. You or Station will pay to us all sums specified
herein without any deductions, counter-claims or any other forms of credits or offsets that you or Station may have or claim to have against us. Time is of the essence in the performance by you and Station of your obligations for payment hereunder.
Payments will be deemed made when received by us. Any payment made more than thirty (30) days after the due date therefore shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) over the prime interest rate charged from time to
time by Bank of America, computed from the original due date until paid; provided, however, that if the rate is in excess of the maximum permitted by law, in the jurisdiction where such debt accrues, then the rate shall be the maximum permitted by
law. Acceptance of any payment by us after its due date shall not constitute a waiver by us of any of our rights hereunder. We may also, at our sole option, declare you and Station to be in material breach of this Agreement for non-payment at any
time after thirty (30) days following the due date.

 IV. MEDIATION OF DISPUTES. Except as provided herein, no civil action with respect to any
dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the calculation or payment of the Retrans Value may be commenced until the matter has been submitted by ABC to JAMS for mediation in New York, New York. ABC may commence mediation by
providing to JAMS and the Station a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from JAMS panel of neutrals, and
in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in
the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator and any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any litigation or
other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. Either party may seek equitable relief prior
to the mediation to preserve the status quo pending the completion of that process. Except for such an action to obtain equitable relief, neither party may commence a civil action with respect to the matters submitted to mediation until after the
completion of the initial mediation session, or forty-five (45) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. Mediation may continue after the commencement of a civil action, if the parties so desire.
The provisions of this Clause may be enforced by any Court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against
whom enforcement is ordered. This paragraph IV. shall not apply to any other topic or issue governed by this Affiliation Agreement.

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
for the Registrable Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company; provided that SunCoke may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of the

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

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;

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.

of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. SunCoke may assign this Agreement at any time in connection with a sale or acquisition of SunCoke, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of
SunCoke’s assets, or similar transaction, without the consent of the Holders; provided that the successor or acquiring Person agrees in writing to assume all of SunCoke’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. A Holder may

attached hereto as Exhibit A, an executed counterpart of which shall be furnished to SunCoke. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such transfer is subject to covenants, agreements or other undertakings restricting transferability thereof, the

 3.5 GOVERNING LAW; NO JURY TRIAL. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York irrespective of the choice of laws principles of the State of New York other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Laws of the State of New York, as to

 (b) THE PARTIES
EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND FOREGO ANY RIGHT TO (I) SPECIAL DAMAGES, AS DEFINED HEREIN (PROVIDED, THAT LIABILITY FOR ANY SUCH SPECIAL DAMAGES, AS DEFINED HEREIN, WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIM, WHICH SHALL BE CONSIDERED DIRECT DAMAGES AND
(II) TRIAL BY JURY.

procedures for the resolution of any such Dispute unless otherwise specified in Article VIII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. 
 3.6 Specific Performance. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of

  
 -22-

 
this Agreement, the party or parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this
Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages,
are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of
the parties to this Agreement. 
 3.7 Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 3.8 Severability.
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.
