Director will receive, in addition to the other compensation provided for in this Plan, an annual grant (“Annual Unit Grant”) of common units of the Partnership (the “Units”), valued in the aggregate
amount of $50,000 for each calendar year, with the number of Units to be granted and the timing of such grants determined in accordance with the provisions of this Article V. For purposes of valuing such grants and otherwise of this Plan,
“Fair Market Value” means the closing sales price of a Unit on the principal national securities exchange or other market in which trading in Units occurs on the applicable date (or if there is no trading in the Units on such
date, on the next preceding date on which there was trading) as reported in The Wall Street Journal (or other reporting service approved by the Board or, if applicable, the committee of the Board appointed to administer the LTIP (as defined
in Section 5.7)). 
 5.2 Granting of Annual Unit Grant Where Board Membership Runs from Beginning of Calendar Year.
If a Non-Employee Director is a member of the Board from the beginning of a calendar year, the Annual Unit Grant with respect to such calendar year will be made in four equal quarterly installments of $12,500 (the “Quarterly Unit Grant
Value”) on each Quarterly Payment Date with respect to the calendar year, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4. The number of Units granted on each Quarterly Payment Date with respect to a calendar year will be such number of
whole Units as have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Quarterly Unit Grant Value for such calendar year on such Quarterly Payment Date (rounded up to the nearest whole Unit). 

5.3 Reduction and Granting of Annual Unit Grant Where Board Membership Commences During Calendar Year. If a Non-Employee Director
is not a member of the Board at the beginning of a calendar year, but becomes a member of the Board during the course of such calendar year, such Non-Employee Director’s Annual Unit Grant for such calendar year will be subject to reduction and
granting, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4, as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	a 0% reduction, if such Non-Employee Director becomes a member of the Board before March 31 of such calendar year, in which case the Non-Employee Director will be
granted, on each of the four Quarterly Payment Dates occurring with respect to such calendar year, such number of whole Units as have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Quarterly Unit Grant Value for such calendar year on such Quarterly
Payment Date (rounded up to the nearest whole Unit); 

  
 -5-

	 	(b)	a 25% reduction, if such Non-Employee Director becomes a member of the Board on or after March 31 of such calendar year but before June 30 of such calendar
year, in which case the Non-Employee Director will be granted, on each of the three remaining Quarterly Payment Dates occurring with respect to such calendar year, such number of whole Units as have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the
Quarterly Unit Grant Value for such calendar year on such Quarterly Payment Date (rounded up to the nearest whole Unit); 

  

	 	(c)	a 50% reduction, if such Non-Employee Director becomes a member of the Board on or after June 30 of such calendar year but before September 30 of such
calendar year, in which case the Non-Employee Director will be granted, on each of the two remaining Quarterly Payment Dates occurring with respect to such calendar year, such number of whole Units as have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the
Quarterly Unit Grant Value for such calendar year on such Quarterly Payment Date (rounded up to the nearest whole Unit); and 

  

	 	(d)	a 75% reduction, if such Non-Employee Director becomes a member of the Board on or after September 30 of such calendar year but before December 31 of such
calendar year, in which case the Non-Employee Director will be granted, on the one remaining Quarterly Payment Date occurring with respect to such calendar year, such number of whole Units as have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the
Quarterly Unit Grant Value for such calendar year on such Quarterly Payment Date (rounded up to the nearest whole Unit). 

 5.4 Effect on Annual Unit Grant Where Board Membership Terminates During Calendar Year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, and unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a
Non-Employee Director whose membership on the Board terminates during a calendar year will not be granted any portion of his or her Annual Unit Grant for that calendar year which would otherwise be granted on a Quarterly Payment Date that occurs
following the date such Non-Employee Director’s membership on the Board terminates. 
 5.5 Additional Grants of Units in
Lieu of Cash Compensation. In addition to the Annual Unit Grant and any Election Unit Grant (as defined in Section 5.6), any Non-Employee Director may elect from time to time to receive any or all of the cash compensation payable hereunder,
for the Annual Board Member Retainer, the Annual Committee Chair Retainer and/or as Meeting Participation Compensation, in Units instead. For purposes of this Plan, cash compensation to which an election made in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 5.5 applies shall be referred to as “Elected Unit Compensation.” Any such election with respect to Elected Unit Compensation shall be made in advance of the calendar year in which it is to be earned or, if
later, in advance of the Non-Employee Director’s initial appointment to serve as a member of the Board and must otherwise comply with the procedures therefor established from time to time by the Committee (as defined in Section 7.1). In
the event of such an election by a Non-Employee Director, the Non-Employee Director will be granted Units in place of any such Elected Unit Compensation on the Quarterly Payment Date on which such Elected Unit

  
 -6-

 
Compensation would otherwise have been paid in cash. The number of Units to be granted to a Non-Employee Director on a Quarterly Payment Date pursuant to an election made in accordance with this
Section 5.5 will be such number of whole Units as have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the cash amount of such Elected Unit Compensation on such Quarterly Payment Date (rounded up to the nearest whole Unit). If a Non-Employee Director
who has made an election pursuant to this Section 5.5 ceases to be a member of the Board prior to the payment of any Elected Unit Compensation in Units, such unpaid Elected Unit Compensation will not be satisfied in Units and instead will be
paid in cash within thirty days after the Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board or, if earlier, by March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which such compensation was earned. 

5.6 Discretionary Grant of Units Upon Initial Election as a Non-Employee Director. In addition to the Annual Unit Grant pursuant
to Section 5.1, the Board may, in its discretion, make a grant of Units (an “Election Unit Grant”) to a Non-Employee Director in connection with his initial election as a member of the Board. The Board shall establish
the amount and terms (including, without limitation, any vesting requirements or other conditions) of any such grant in its discretion. 
 5.7 Terms and Conditions for and Full Vesting of Grants. For purposes of this Plan, each grant of Units made as provided in this Article V to a Non-Employee Director will be made pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan and in the Oxford Resource Partners, LP Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan, as currently in effect and as it may hereafter be amended (the “LTIP”),
and will be 100% vested on the date it is made. However, the provisions of this Plan providing specifically for grants of Units in certain circumstances to Non-Employee Directors shall not restrict or prevent any other awards of Units not referenced
in or made pursuant to this Plan which are otherwise made to Non-Employee Directors on a discretionary basis under the LTIP. 

5.8 Award Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly permitted or directed by the Committee, any Non-Employee Director who acquires
Units as provided in this Article V will be required to execute and comply with the terms of an award agreement with the Company and the Partnership, in such form as is approved from time to time by the Committee. 

ARTICLE VI 

REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES 
 While a Non-Employee Director is serving as a member of the Board, the Non-Employee Director will be reimbursed for his or her business-related expenses incurred in carrying out his or her duties as a
member of the Board, including but not limited to all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the Non-Employee Director to attend Board and Board committee meetings or otherwise fulfill his or her duties, in accordance with the Company’s
expense reimbursement policy as in effect at the time an expense is incurred. 
 ARTICLE VII 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 7.1 Administration. The Plan will be administered by a committee of, and appointed 

  
 -7-

 
by, the Board (the “Committee”). In the absence of the Board’s appointment of a different committee to administer the Plan, the “Committee” will be the
Compensation Committee of the Board. The Committee will have the complete authority and power to interpret this Plan, prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to the administration of this Plan, determine a Non-Employee Director’s rights
under this Plan (including such rights to receive payments of any cash compensation and/or grants of Units hereunder, and the amounts thereof), and take all other actions necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan. All actions and
decisions of the Committee will be final and binding upon the Company, the Partnership, the Non-Employee Directors, and all other persons. The Committee may delegate to officers and employees of the Company the authority to perform specified
ministerial functions under this Plan. Any actions taken by any officers or employees of the Company pursuant to such delegation of authority will be deemed to have been taken by the Committee. No member of the Committee, nor any officer or employee
of the Company acting on behalf of the Committee, will be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to this Plan, and all members of the Committee, and each officer of the Company and
each employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Committee, will, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation. 

7.2 Unfunded Obligations. The amounts to be paid and Units to be granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to this Plan are
unfunded obligations of the Company. The Company is not required to segregate any monies or other assets from its general funds, to create any trusts or to make any special deposits with respect to these obligations. 

7.3 No Additional Rights. The compensation amounts provided for herein compensate a Non-Employee Director for all of such
Non-Employee Director’s professional duties as a member of the Board and any committees thereof and no additional or separate compensation (other than as described in this Plan) will be payable to a Non-Employee Director for his or her service
on the Board or committees of the Board (including as a Committee Chair), attendance at and/or participation in meetings of the Board or committees of the Board, or informal advisory time. None of this Plan, the LTIP or any Annual Unit Grant or
other compensation provided for or granted hereunder or thereunder will confer upon any Non-Employee Director the right to continue to serve as a member of the Board or any committee of the Board. 

7.4 Nonassignment. Except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, the right of a Non-Employee Director to the receipt of
any amounts under this Plan may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered in any manner nor will such right or other interests be subject to attachment, execution or other legal process. 

7.5 Incapacity of Non-Employee Director. If the Committee finds that any Non-Employee Director to whom a payment is due under this
Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident or is under a legal disability, unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative, any payment due may, at the discretion of the
Committee, be paid to the spouse, child, parent or brother or sister of such Non-Employee Director or to any other person whom the Committee has determined has incurred expense for such Non-Employee Director. Any such payment will be a complete
discharge of the obligations of the Company with respect to such payment under the provisions of this Plan. 

  
 -8-

 7.6 Compliance with Other Laws and Regulations. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Partnership will be required to sell or issue Units under this Plan if the issuance thereof would constitute a violation by a Non-Employee Director, the Company or the Partnership of any provisions
of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or other forum in which Units are quoted or traded; and, as a condition of any sale or issuance of Units hereunder, the
Committee may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or regulation. This Plan, the Units and other compensation provided hereunder, and the obligation
of the Company or the Partnership to sell or deliver Units hereunder, will be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required. 

7.7 Termination and Amendment. The Board may from time to time amend, suspend, or terminate this Plan, in whole or in part, and if
this Plan is suspended or terminated the Board may thereafter reinstate any or all of its provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan may impair the right of a Non-Employee Director to receive any
benefit accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such amendment, suspension or termination. 
 7.8 Entire Plan.
This Plan constitutes the entire plan with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than matters covered by the LTIP) and supersedes all prior plans with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than the LTIP), including without limitation the
currently effective Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan which was effective as of January 1, 2009. 
 7.9 Applicable
Law. Except to the extent preempted by applicable federal law, this Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
 7.10 Section 409A Matters. For purposes of this Plan, a Non-Employee Director’s membership on the Board will not be considered to have terminated unless a separation from service, within
the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and any regulations issued thereunder, has occurred. This Plan is intended to provide for compensation that constitutes one or more
“short term deferrals” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations issued thereunder, so that it will be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, this Plan will be construed, interpreted and
operated in a manner consistent with such intent. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent necessary, each amount of compensation payable hereunder shall be considered a separate payment and a separate short term deferral.
