Plan shall be effective as of July 27, 2011 (the “Effective Date”).

under the Plan are intended to be additional compensation for past services. The amount or kind of benefit to be provided is to be based on the position of the Participant and the Participant’s compensation at his or her Employment Termination
Date. 
 2.3. Term of the Plan. The Plan will continue until such time as the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof,
delegated such responsibility, acting in its sole discretion, elects to modify, supersede or terminate it in accordance with the further provisions hereof. 
 ARTICLE III 
 PARTICIPATION AND ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS 

3.1. General Eligibility Requirement. In order to receive a Benefit under this Plan, a Participant’s employment must have
been terminated by the Company other than for Just Cause, death or Disability; provided, however, that any Participant who is receiving benefits under the Special Executive Severance Plan shall not also be eligible to receive any Benefit under this
Plan.

 3.2. Employment by Successor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Benefits shall be due hereunder in connection with the sale or other disposition by the Company of the capital stock or assets of any business unit, division, subsidiary, or other affiliate, if the Participant receives an offer of employment from
the purchaser or other acquiror at a combined annual salary and guideline bonus at least equal to the annual salary and guideline bonus for his or her position with the Company immediately prior to such sale or other disposition. 

3.3. Release. Unless the Participant executes a full waiver and release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company, and
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary as provided in Section 5.2, the Benefits provided hereunder in connection with a termination of employment shall be provided only for the Salary Continuation Period set forth in
Section 1.15(a) of this Plan. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 BENEFIT 
 4.1. Amount of Immediate Cash Benefit. The immediate cash
amount to be paid to a Participant eligible to receive Benefits under Section 3.1 hereof shall be paid in a lump sum and shall equal the Participant’s earned vacation (as determined under the Company’s applicable vacation policy as in
effect on the Employment Termination Date) through the end of his or her Employment Termination Date. 
 4.2. Salary
Continuation. A Participant who is eligible to receive Benefits under Section 3.1 shall continue to be entitled, through the end of his/her Salary Continuation Period to his/her Weekly Compensation as in effect on the Employment Termination
Date. 
 4.3. Executive Benefits. A Participant who is eligible to receive Benefits under Section 3.1 shall continue
to be entitled, through the end of his/her Salary Continuation Period to those employee benefits listed below: 

(a) death benefits in an amount equal to one (1) times the Participant’s annual base salary at the Employment
Termination Date (provided, however, that any supplemental coverages elected under the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Death Benefits Plan (or any similar plan of any of the following: a subsidiary or affiliate which has adopted this Plan; a corporation
succeeding to the business of SunCoke Energy, Inc.; and/or any subsidiary or affiliate, by merger, consolidation or liquidation or any purchase of assets or stock or similar transaction) will be discontinued under the terms of such plan or plans);
and 
 (b) medical plan benefits (excluding dental coverage), including COBRA continuation coverage beginning as
of the start of the Salary Continuation Period and running concurrently therewith. 
 In each case, when contributions are
required of all other active Participants at the time of the Participant’s Employment Termination Date, or thereafter, if required of other Participants, the Participant shall continue to be responsible for making the required contributions
during the Salary Continuation Period in order to be eligible for the coverage. The difference between the cost for such medical plan benefits under Code Section 4980B and the amount of the necessary contributions that a Participant is required
to pay for such coverage as provided above will be paid by the Company and considered imputed income to such Participant. Each Participant is responsible for the payment of income tax due as a result of such imputed income.The Participant also shall
be entitled to reasonable outplacement services as deemed appropriate by the Committee (but only to the extent such services are

 Executive Involuntary Severance Plan 
 Page 5 of 11 

 
provided no later than the end of the second calendar year following the year of the Participant’s Employment Termination Date and are paid for directly by the Company no later than the end
of the third calendar year following the year of the Participant’s Employment Termination Date). 
 4.4. Retirement
Plans. This Plan shall not govern and shall in no way affect the Participant’s interest in, or entitlement to benefits under, any of the Company’s qualified or supplemental retirement plans and any payments received under any such plan
shall not affect a Participant’s right to any Benefit hereunder. 
 4.5. Minimum Benefit. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereof, the Benefits available under this Plan shall not be less than those determined in accordance with the provisions of the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Involuntary Termination Plan. If the Participant determines that
the benefits under the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Involuntary Termination Plan are more valuable to the Participant than the comparable Benefits set forth in this Plan, then the provisions used to calculate the Benefits available to the Participant under
this Plan shall not apply, and the Benefits available to the Participant under this Plan shall be calculated using only the applicable provisions of the SunCoke Energy, Inc. Involuntary Termination Plan. In all events, the timing of payment of
benefits shall be determined in accordance with the terms of this Plan. 
 4.6. Effect on Other Benefits. There shall not
be drawn from the continued provision by the Company of any of the aforementioned Benefits any implication of continued employment or of continued right to accrual of retirement benefits under the Company’s qualified or supplemental retirement
plans, nor shall a Participant accrue vacation days, paid holidays, paid sick days or other similar benefits normally associated with employment for any part of the Salary Continuation Period during which benefits are payable under this Plan.

 ARTICLE V 
 METHOD AND DURATION OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS 
 5.1. Method of Payment.

 (a) The cash Benefits to which a Participant is entitled, as determined pursuant to Article IV hereof, shall
be paid monthly except as otherwise provided in this Article V, and the Salary Continuation Period shall begin the first day of the month following the month in which the Employment Termination Date occurs. If a Participant becomes entitled to cash
Benefits determined in accordance with Section 1.15(b), the number of equal monthly payments for such Participant shall be determined by dividing the applicable Salary Continuation Period by four and rounding up to the nearest whole number.
Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(4) and all other provisions of the regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A, the Participant’s right to the series of
monthly payments hereunder at all times shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. Payment shall be made by mailing to the last address provided by the Participant to the Company, or by direct deposit into a bank account
designated by the Participant in writing to the Company. 
 (b)Payment of any cash Benefits (that are deferred
compensation for purposes of Code Section409A) to any Participant who is a specified employee under Section 409A of the Code shall be made as follows. Cash Benefits that are scheduled to be paid for the period which begins on such
Participant’s Employment Termination Date and ends on the date six months from such 

  
 SunCoke Energy,
Inc. 
 Executive Involuntary Severance Plan 
 Page 6 of 11 

 
Participant’s Employment Termination Date, shall not be paid as scheduled, but shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the date six months after the Participant’s Employment
Termination Date. Simple interest will be paid on cash Benefits delayed hereunder from the date such payments would have been made to the Participant but for this subsection (b), to the date of actual payment, at the interest rate equal to the prime
rate of Citibank, N.A. as in effect from time to time after such due date. 
 5.2. Conditions to Entitlement to Benefit.
In order to be eligible to receive full Benefits hereunder (other than Benefits pursuant to Section 1.15(a) or Section 4.1), a Participant shall make himself/herself available to the Company and cooperate in any reasonable manner (so as
not to unreasonably interfere with subsequent employment) in providing assistance to the Company after his or her Employment Termination Date in conducting any matters which are pending at such time, and, as provided in Section 3.3, shall
execute a release and discharge of the Company from any and all claims, demands or causes of action other than as to amounts or benefits due to the Participant under any plan, program or contract provided by, or entered into with, the Company. Such
release and discharge shall be in such form as is prescribed by the Committee and shall be executed and delivered no later than the fiftieth (50th) day following the Participant’s Employment Termination Date. In the event that a
Participant does not so execute and deliver such release, or in the event that the Participant revokes such release, the Company shall cease payment of any Benefits (other than Benefits pursuant to Section 1.15(a) or Section 4.1) and the
Participant shall repay any Benefits (other than Benefits pursuant to Section 1.15(a) or Section 4.1) previously provided to him or her. In addition, no Benefits due hereunder shall be paid to a Participant who is required by Company
guidelines to execute an agreement governing the assignment of patents or the disclosure of confidential information unless an executed copy of such agreement is on file with the Company. 

5.3. Payments to Beneficiary(ies). Each Participant shall designate a beneficiary(ies) to receive any Benefits due hereunder in
the event of the Participant’s death prior to the receipt of all such Benefits. Such beneficiary designation shall be made in the manner, and at the time, prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion. In the absence of an effective
beneficiary designation hereunder, the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be his or her designated beneficiary.

that this Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms hereof, and to become jointly and severally obligated with the Company to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the

the SunCoke Group that executes a Joinder to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.01(b), each, a “SunCoke Group Obligor” and collectively, the “SunCoke Group Obligors”). 

W I T N E S S E T H: 
 A. Sunoco intends to engage in the Separation, as defined in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between Sunoco
and SunCoke (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”). 
 B. Sunoco, or one or more other members of the
Sunoco Group, has guaranteed or otherwise is, or may become, liable (whether by reason of contract, applicable Law, or otherwise) for certain contractual, environmental, tax, pension, employee benefits, or other regulatory or common law obligations
of one or more members of the SunCoke Group (the “Covered Obligations”) in respect of: (1) the Obligations, as defined in that certain Guarantee Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2002, by and between Sunoco, as guarantor,
and SFG IHCC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as beneficiary (the “GE Guarantee”), (2) the Payment Obligations, as defined in that certain Guaranty Agreement, dated as of February 19, 1998, by and between Sun
Company, Inc. (the former name of Sunoco) and DTE Indiana Harbor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the beneficiary thereunder (collectively, with the GE Guarantee, the “Indiana Harbor Guarantees”), (3) any other
payment or performance obligation owed by any Person in respect of the operations, obligations, or liabilities of, or relating to, Indiana Harbor Coke Company L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Indiana Harbor”), now existing or
hereafter arising, (4) (a) the Obligations, as defined in that certain Guarantee Agreement, dated as of July 14, 1995, by and between Sun Company, Inc. (the former name of Sunoco), as guarantor, and TIFD VIII-U Inc., a Delaware
corporation, as beneficiary (the “Original Jewell Guarantee”), (b) the Obligations, as defined in the Original Jewell Guarantee, as the scope of such definition may have been expanded by that certain Amendment No. 1, dated
August 31, 2000 (the “Jewell Guarantee Amendment”), and (c) the Obligations, as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Guarantee Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2006, by and between Sunoco and GECC,
collectively with the Original Jewell Guarantee and the Jewell Guarantee Amendment, the “Jewell Guarantees”), and (5) any other payment or performance obligation owed by any Person in respect of the operations, obligations, or
liabilities of, or relating to, Jewell Coke Company, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Jewell”), now existing or hereafter arising. 
 C. The SunCoke Group Obligors desire to guarantee, for the benefit of Sunoco, the payment and performance of each Covered Obligation in advance of the date that any member of the Sunoco Group becomes
obligated to pay or perform such Covered Obligation and to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless (collectively “indemnify”) each member of the Sunoco Group, each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their
respective officers, employees, directors, managers, managing members or other controlling persons (each an “Indemnitee,” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against all Liabilities relating to, arising
out of or resulting from any Covered Obligation. 

 D. The SunCoke Group Obligors intend, collectively, to make such distributions,
contributions, and payments on inter-company indebtedness owed by one or more of the members of the SunCoke Group to any other member of the SunCoke Group, including The Claymont Investment Company LLC (“Claymont”), and to undertake
such other nonpayment obligations and support, as may be necessary (i) to provide such funds or to perform such obligations (a) for the benefit of the primary obligor under each Covered Obligation, or (b) if such funding or
performance directly for the benefit of the primary obligor is commercially impractical (by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, if the primary obligor is, in turn, required to deliver documents to, or perform obligations for the
benefit of, a Government Authority), then on behalf of the primary obligor, for the benefit of the Third Party to whom such payment or performance of such Covered Obligations is owed (each such distribution, contribution, payment, or performance a
“Keep Well Undertaking”), in order to enable the primary obligor to pay or perform, or to pay or perform on behalf of the primary obligor, each Covered Obligation as it becomes due or performable, prior to the date any demand for
payment or performance of such Covered Obligation may be made on any member of the Sunoco Group, or (ii) if such demand for payment or performance of a Covered Obligation is made, paid or performed by a Sunoco Group member, to indemnify such
member of the Sunoco Group against any Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from such demand, payment, or performance. 
 E. For so long as any Covered Obligations related to the Indiana Harbor Note remain to be paid or performed, SunCoke desires (i) to restrict the assets (other than additional cash capital
contributions) and liabilities of Claymont, to Claymont’s assets and liabilities existing on the date hereof, and any inter-company demand loans by Claymont to any SunCoke Group Obligor, so long as such loan is made upon arm’s length terms
then prevailing between Third Parties (each, and “Arm’s Length Loan”), (ii) to restrict Claymont’s purposes and business activities to the conduct of the business Claymont is conducting on the date hereof, and
(iii) to restrict Claymont’s ability to incur any debt or other liabilities other than Claymont’s debt and other liabilities existing on the date hereof. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(a) Subject to Section 3.01, the SunCoke Group Obligors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and

other assistance as shall be necessary to enable each member of the SunCoke Group to pay or perform each of its Covered Obligations on or before the date the payee or other obligee in respect of such Covered Obligations would be entitled to make

acts and Laws. 
 (b) Each SunCoke Group Obligor agrees that the obligations under the Covered Obligation
Documents may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of such SunCoke Group Obligor thereunder without impairing the guaranties or other undertakings under the Covered Obligation Documents or affecting the rights and remedies

made by Claymont, any other primary obligor, any other SunCoke Group Obligor, or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of
the Covered Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of such SunCoke Group Obligor under the Covered Obligation Documents, and such SunCoke Group Obligor shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other
than any payment made specifically in respect of a Covered Obligation), remain liable for the payment and performance of any remaining Covered Obligations up to the Maximum Liability of such SunCoke Group Obligor until the Covered Obligations have
been fully satisfied. 
 3.02 Rights of Contribution. Each SunCoke Group Obligor hereby agrees that to the extent a
SunCoke Group Obligor shall have paid or be obligated to pay more than its proportionate share of any payment made in respect of the Covered Obligations, such SunCoke Group Obligor shall be entitled to contribution from and against any other SunCoke

without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability or perfection of any of the Covered Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by, for,
or on behalf of 

  
 7 

 
any member of the Sunoco Group, (ii) any defense, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by
any SunCoke Group Obligor or any other Person against any member of the Sunoco Group, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any SunCoke Group Obligor), other than payment or performance, which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any SunCoke Group Obligor for any of its respective portion of the Covered Obligations or of such SunCoke Group Obligor under the guarantees contained in Article II
or any other Covered Obligation Document, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. 
 (c) When making any
demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any SunCoke Group Obligor, any member of the Sunoco Group may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and
remedies as it may have against any other SunCoke Group Obligor or any other Person for the Covered Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any member of the Sunoco Group to make any such demand, to pursue such
other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any SunCoke Group Obligor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other SunCoke Group
Obligor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such SunCoke Group Obligor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether
express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any member of the Sunoco Group against such SunCoke Group Obligor. For the purposes of this Section 3.05, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal
proceedings. 
 (d) All dealings in respect of the Covered Obligations between any of the SunCoke Group
Obligors, on the one hand, and any member of the Sunoco Group, on the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in Article II or in any other Covered Obligation Document.

the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance, or any part thereof, of any of the Covered Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any member of the Sunoco Group upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of any SunCoke Group Obligor as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any SunCoke Group Obligor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 
 3.07 Payments. Each SunCoke Group Obligor hereby agrees
and guarantees that all payments hereunder by such SunCoke Group Obligor will be paid without setoff or counterclaim.

any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 9.08 Severability. If any provision of this
Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or
circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and 

  
 12 

 
shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby to any party. Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and
equitable provision to effect the original intent of the parties. 
 9.09 Equitable Relief. Subject to the
provisions of Article IX of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of 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 in respect of its or their 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. 

9.10 Limitation of Liability. Neither SunCoke or its Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Sunoco or its Affiliates, on the other
hand, shall be liable to the other for any special, indirect, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any
such liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim). 
 9.11 Waiver of Default. Waiver by any party of any default
by the other party on any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other party. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 

9.12 Controlling Documents. This Agreement supplements certain obligations that the SunCoke Group Obligors have to the
members of the Sunoco Group in connection with the IPO, as set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement; and any rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any rights and
obligations set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. 
 9.13 Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the parties or any Third Party as creating the relationship of principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between the parties, the understanding and agreement being that no provision contained herein,
and no act of the parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties other than the relationship set forth herein.
