 Mr. Frederick A. Henderson 

55 Cabot Place 
 Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304

 Dear Fritz: 
 Contained herein are the specific terms and conditions of an offer to you to join Sunoco, Inc. (“Sunoco”) as Senior Vice President of Sunoco, effective as of September 1, 2010 (the
“Effective Date of Hire”) and, subject to your termination rights (described below), ending effective as of December 31, 2011. In this position, you will be responsible for the business operations of SunCoke Energy, Inc.
(“SunCoke”). Until the separation of SunCoke from Sunoco on or prior to December 31, 2011 by means of an initial public offering of SunCoke stock, a spinoff of all or substantially all of SunCoke’s stock to Sunoco’s
shareholders or a similar transaction following which all or a significant portion of SunCoke becomes held by persons independent of Sunoco (the “Separation”), you shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of Sunoco. Upon the
Separation, Sunoco shall cause SunCoke to assume this letter agreement, you shall become the Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke, a member of the SunCoke Board, the Chairman of the SunCoke Board, and you shall report to the SunCoke Board. You are
required to complete a physical examination and substance screening as soon as possible prior to your start date or within a reasonable time thereafter. Your examination and screening will be coordinated by Sunoco’s Medical Director once we
have received your written acceptance of this offer. Beginning on the Effective Date of Hire, you will be entitled to serve on the board of directors of one unrelated company, provided that (i) such company is not, directly or indirectly,
competitive with SunCoke or, until the Separation, with Sunoco, and (ii) such board service does not materially interfere with the performance of your duties to SunCoke and, prior to the Separation, Sunoco. With the approval of the Sunoco
Board, you will be permitted to serve on the board of directors of one additional unrelated company, provided that the conditions in (i) and (ii) above are met. 
 Compensation 
 Your annual rate of salary will be
$925,000 (“Salary”) and your target annual bonus will be 110% of your Salary. For 2010, your bonus will be a prorated amount of your target bonus based on the portion of the year during which you are employed with Sunoco. For 2011,
the actual amount of your bonus will be based upon a combination of your target bonus and both corporate and individual goals, as applied in a manner consistent with that used to determine the

 Mr. Frederick A. Henderson

2011 annual bonuses of the executive officers of Sunoco. The performance metrics for your 2011 bonus will be determined (i) for the portion of the year prior to the Separation, in the sole
and absolute discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of Sunoco, and, if applicable, (ii) for the portion of the year on and after the Separation, in accordance with the terms of the annual incentive plan adopted by the SunCoke Board.

 Upon the Separation, you shall be granted an equity award having an aggregate value of $6,400,000. Fifty
percent of this award shall be in the form of options to purchase shares of common stock of SunCoke and the other 50% shall be in the form of restricted share units of SunCoke. The number of stock options will be determined as of the date of grant
by SunCoke’s outside auditors or compensation consultant, using a generally accepted stock option pricing model, applied, if applicable, in the same manner as used by SunCoke in preparing its Form S-1 registration statement in connection with
the Separation, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. The number of restricted share units shall be determined by dividing the targeted value ($3,200,000) by the closing price of SunCoke common stock on the date of the Separation (or
the following day, if SunCoke common stock does not trade on such day), rounded down to the nearest whole number of share units. The stock options will vest in equal one-third installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of
the Separation, subject to continued employment. The restricted share units will vest in equal one-third installments on the third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date of Hire, subject to continued employment. For the avoidance of
doubt, you shall not be entitled to, and have no expectation of, any other grant of equity awards through the Separation, or thereafter in 2011, although the Compensation Committee of the Sunoco Board (prior to the Separation) or the SunCoke Board
(on and following the Separation) may grant you additional equity awards in their sole and absolute discretion. The distributions in respect of the restricted share units will be made to you in the form of net common shares after taxes within 30
days after the vesting date. Dividend equivalents accrued up through the vesting date on each installment will be paid in cash net of required taxes. A voluntary termination by you or termination by Sunoco for any reason will result in the
forfeiture of any remaining unvested options and restricted share units. 
 For 2012, and subject to the
approval of the SunCoke Board and/or the SunCoke Compensation Committee, we anticipate that your target long-term incentive award would be $3,200,000 and, on and after the Separation, you will be covered by a market-competitive change-in-control
arrangement. 
 Relocation and Temporary Living Expenses 

You shall be entitled to receive from Sunoco reimbursement for any reasonable and substantiated temporary living and
commuting expenses incurred by you in connection with the performance of your duties for a period of one year from your Effective Date of Hire in accordance with Sunoco’s relocation policy in effect from time to time, a copy of which has been
attached to this letter. No later than twelve months following the later of the Separation or the SunCoke Relocation (as defined in this sentence), you shall be required to relocate your principal residence to the Chicago, Illinois or Atlanta,
Georgia metropolitan area in connection with the

relocation of the SunCoke executive offices to such area (the “SunCoke Relocation”), Additional benefits under Sunoco’s relocation policy, including a home purchase option
and reimbursement for all reasonable and customary home purchase costs and moving, storage, and other incidental relocation expenses, will be made available to you, in addition to reimbursement for those expenses described in the first sentence of
this paragraph. 
 Perquisites 
 Sunoco has eliminated perquisites that do not serve a business purpose, and any perquisite is subject to the annual review of perquisites conducted by the Compensation Committee of the Sunoco Board. If
SunCoke maintains a corporate aircraft, you will have access to such aircraft for business purposes. 
 Vacation 

You will be entitled to 25 days of paid vacation annually. In addition, you will also be allocated two paid floating
holidays each year. These floating holidays are in addition to the normal Company-designated holidays. Because 2010 will be a partial year, your number of vacation days will be prorated for 2010, rounded up to the nearest whole day. 

Benefits 
 Sunoco provides a full range of benefits for most of its salaried employees, including comprehensive health plans, disability, life insurance, and savings plans. The disability plan requires a mandatory
employee contribution of 0.5% of base salary for the first ten years of employment. You will be entitled to and encouraged to have a thorough annual physical examination performed at no cost to you. Sunoco has a policy of supporting its executives
who serve on non-profit organizations through matching contributions (subject to certain limitations). You may participate in the Sunoco savings plan, or SunCap, which matches your contributions up to 5% of a participant’s salary. Eligibility
for Sunoco match commences after one year of service. Matching amounts in excess of statutory limits will be provided in Sunoco’s non-qualified Savings Restoration Plan. More complete descriptions of Sunoco’s plans, including the Summary
Plan Descriptions and plan documents, are available to you. The Board of Directors of Sunoco and/or Sunoco reserves the right to make changes to its employee policies, procedures, and plans at any time. 

Indemnification and D&O Insurance 
 You will also be entitled to receive indemnification and directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sunoco Amended and Restated Indemnification
Agreement, as amended from time to time.

 Termination Rights 

Every executive, including each Senior Vice President, is an employee at will. You will not be eligible to participate in
The Sunoco, Inc. Special Executive Severance Plan, Amended and Restated as of November 1, 2007, or the Sunoco, Inc. Executive Involuntary Severance Plan, Amended and Restated Effective December 3, 2009 (the “Involuntary Severance
Plan”), and shall have the severance rights described below in lieu of the benefits under those plans or, in the case of any termination of employment on or prior to December 31, 2011, under any similar plans adopted by SunCoke.

 Basic Severance 
 In the event that you are terminated without “Just Cause” (as defined in Section 1.12 of the Involuntary Severance Plan) (any such termination, a “Qualifying Termination”),
you shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to (i) in the case of a Qualifying Termination on or before June 30, 2011, the sum of your annual Salary and target bonus for the year of the Qualifying Termination (the
“First Severance Amount”), or (ii) in the case of a Qualifying Termination after June 30, 2011 and on or before December 31, 2011, two times the sum of your annual Salary and target bonus for the year of the
Qualifying Termination (the “Second Severance Amount”). You will also be entitled to receive a pro rata annual bonus based on business and personal performance, payable when annual bonuses for the year in which you are terminated
are payable to other senior executives of Sunoco or SunCoke, as applicable (the “Pro Rata Annual Bonus”). 

Severance in the Event of a Sale 
 If, instead of the Separation, on or prior to December 31, 2011 Sunoco sells all or substantially all of the assets or stock of SunCoke to a person, or more than one person acting as a group, which
is not affiliated with Sunoco (a “Sale”), you may, on or prior to the date of such Sale, give Sunoco written notice of your intent to resign your employment effective as of the date of such Sale, in which case you shall receive a
lump-sum cash payment equal to the sum of (x) the Pro Rata Annual Bonus and (y) the First Severance Amount if the Sale occurs on or before June 30, 2011 or the Second Severance Amount if the Sale occurs after June 30, 2011 and on
or before December 31, 2011. 
 Severance in the Event of No Sale and No Separation 

In the event that neither the Separation nor a Sale occurs on or before December 31, 2011, you may, on or prior to
December 31, 2011, give Sunoco written notice of your intent to resign your employment effective as of December 31, 2011, in which case you shall receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to the sum of the Pro Rata Annual Bonus and the Second
Severance Amount.

 Dear Mike: 
 This letter agreement (“Letter Agreement”) serves to set forth the terms of the compensation arrangement between Sunoco, Inc. and you in connection with Sunoco’s separation of SunCoke
Energy, either by means of a spin-off transaction, including an initial public offering, (following which SunCoke would be an independent publicly-traded company) (“Spin-Off”) or by means of a sale transaction (following which SunCoke
would be owned by an entity other than Sunoco) (“Sale”). For purposes of this Letter Agreement, the term Transaction refers to the Spin-Off or Sale, as applicable. This letter agreement is subject to final approval by the Compensation
Committee of Sunoco, Inc. 
 Because your leadership is very important to the successful execution of the
Transaction, Sunoco is prepared to offer you the following incentive arrangement to ensure that Sunoco and SunCoke will have the benefit of your continued employment as described below: 

Compensation Terms: 

1. Payments Upon Consummation of Transaction. Subject to the completion (the “Closing”) of the
Transaction on or prior to January 1, 2012 and your continuous employment with Sunoco or SunCoke through the date of the Closing: 
 (a) Sunoco shall pay to you, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than the fifteenth business day following the Closing), a lump sum cash payment in the amount of $500,000, less
applicable tax and other withholdings. 
 (b) (i) In the event of a Spin-Off, as soon as reasonably practicable
following the occurrence of the Spin-Off, SunCoke will grant to you a number of SunCoke share units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $500,000 by the closing price of SunCoke common stock on the grant date, which share units shall vest on
the earlier of (A) the one year anniversary of the Spin-Off, subject to your employment with SunCoke on such vesting date, or (B) the termination of your employment with SunCoke due to death or Disability, or by SunCoke (other than for
Just Cause). In the 

 
event of any other termination of your employment prior to the one year anniversary of the Spin-Off, you will forfeit any share units granted pursuant to this clause (i). Except as specifically
provided herein, the terms and conditions of the share units shall be subject to the terms and conditions of SunCoke’s equity incentive plan and SunCoke’s standard form of award agreement. 

(ii) In the event of a Sale, subject to your employment with SunCoke through the applicable payment event
set forth in clause (A) or (B) below, on the earlier of (A) the one-year anniversary of the Sale, and (B) the termination of your employment due to death or Disability, or by SunCoke (other than for Just Cause), SunCoke shall pay
to you, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than the fifteenth business day following such payment event) a lump sum cash payment in the amount of $500,000, less applicable tax and other withholdings. In the event of any other
termination of your employment prior to the one year anniversary of the Sale, you will forfeit the right to any payment pursuant to this clause (ii). 
 (c) (i) In the event that SunCoke terminates your employment (other than for Just Cause and other than as a result of your death or Disability) following a Spin-Off, (A) if the termination of
employment occurs on or after January 3, 2012 and prior to March 3, 2012, SunCoke shall pay to you a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the “Unvested Option Award Value (Spin-Off),” and (B) if the termination of
employment occurs on or after May 3, 2012 and prior to July 2, 2012, SunCoke shall pay to you a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the “Unvested CSU Award Value (Spin-Off).” In the event of any other termination of your
employment, you will forfeit the right to any payment pursuant to this clause (i). Any payments required by this clause (i) shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the fifteenth business day following the
date of your termination of employment. 
 (ii) In the event that SunCoke terminates your
employment (other than for Just Cause and other than as a result of your death or Disability) following a Sale, (A) if the termination of employment occurs on or after January 3, 2012 and prior to March 3, 2012, SunCoke shall pay to
you a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the “Unvested Option Award Value (Sale),” and (B) if the termination of employment occurs on or after May 3, 2012 and prior to July 2, 2012, SunCoke shall pay to you a lump
sum cash payment in an amount equal to the “Unvested CSU Award Value (Sale).” In the event of any other termination of your employment, you will forfeit the right to any payment pursuant to this clause (ii). Any payments required by this
clause (ii) shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the fifteenth business day following the date of your termination of employment. 
 Just to clarify, you will have no rights pursuant to this Section 1 if you receive a payment pursuant to Section 2 of this Letter Agreement.

 2. Payment if Transaction Not Consummated. If a Transaction is not
consummated by January 1, 2012, and you remain employed by Sunoco or SunCoke through January 1, 2012, Sunoco shall pay to you a lump sum cash payment of $200,000, less applicable tax and other withholdings, no later than January 16,
2012. This payment will be in lieu of any payments and incentives described in Section 1 above. 

Other Terms: 
 3. Defined Terms: 
 (a) “Disability” as used in
this Letter Agreement shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the Sunoco, Inc. Executive Involuntary Severance Plan (as of March 3, 2010). 
 (b) “Just Cause” as used in this Letter Agreement shall have the same meaning as that term is defined in the Sunoco, Inc. Executive Involuntary Severance Plan (as of March 3, 2010).

 (c) “Unvested Option Award Value (Sale)” means an amount equal to the product obtained by
multiplying (i) the number of Sunoco shares underlying the portion of the option granted to you on March 3, 2010 (A) that initially was scheduled to vest on March 3, 2012 and (B) that has not vested previously by
(ii) the excess, if any of (A) the closing price of Sunoco common stock on the date of your termination of employment (or if such day is not a trading day on the trading day immediately following such day) over (B) the per share
exercise price of such option. 
 (d) “Unvested CSU Award Value (Sale)” means an amount equal to the
product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Sunoco common stock units from the July 2, 2008 grant (A) that initially were scheduled to vest on July 2, 2012 and (B) that have not vested previously by (ii) the
closing price of Sunoco common stock on the date of your termination of employment (or if such day is not a trading day on the trading day immediately following such day). 

(e) “Unvested Option Award Value (Spin-Off)” means an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying
(i) the number of SunCoke shares underlying the portion of the option granted to you on March 3, 2010 (as adjusted in connection with the Spin-Off) (A) that initially was scheduled to vest on March 3, 2012 and (B) that has
not vested previously by (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the closing price of SunCoke common stock on the date of your termination of employment (or if such day is not a trading day on the trading day immediately following such day) over
(B) the per share exercise price of such option (as adjusted in connection with the Spin-Off).

(A) that initially were scheduled to vest on July 2, 2012 and (B) that have not vested previously by (ii) the closing price of SunCoke common stock on the date of your termination of employment (or if such day is not a trading
day on the trading day immediately following such day).

 4. Employment Rights. Nothing expressed or implied in this Letter
Agreement will create any right or duty on the part of Sunoco or SunCoke or you to have you remain in the employment of Sunoco or SunCoke. Nothing in this Letter Agreement shall affect any rights you may have under any agreement or plan of Sunoco or
SunCoke in the event of your termination of employment, including without limitation the Sunoco, Inc. Executive Involuntary Severance Plan (as of March 3, 2010). 

5. Assignability. Sunoco, in its discretion, may assign this Letter Agreement to SunCoke or any of its successors
or to any entity that acquires SunCoke in a Sale, and upon such assignment, any obligations of Sunoco under this Letter Agreement shall become obligations of such assignee. 

6. Entire Agreement. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter set forth above and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements, communications, whether oral or written in respect to the matters covered in this Letter Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Letter
Agreement is intended to or shall supersede or modify in any respect, your benefits or obligations under any other agreements that you may have previously entered into or under any of Sunoco’s or SunCoke’s plans 

7. Governing Law. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This Letter Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented, only by a written instrument executed by both you and Sunoco.
