	 	(b)	 	Bonuses. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to such
annual and special bonuses as may be determined from time to time in the sole
discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (or any applicable Committee thereof).

of the Company and (ii) that any payments to be provided to the Executive pursuant to
this Agreement are or may become subject to the additional tax under Section
409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of
the Code if provided at the time otherwise required under this Agreement, then such

earlier, the date of the Executive’s death.
	 
	 	(c)	 	In addition, to the extent that any reimbursement, fringe benefit or other,
similar plan or arrangement in which the Executive participates during the term of
Executive’s employment under this Agreement or thereafter provides for a “deferral of
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (i) the amount eligible
for reimbursement or payment under such plan or arrangement in one calendar year may
not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or payment in any other calendar year
(except that a plan providing medical or health benefits may impose a generally
applicable limit on the amount that may be reimbursed or paid), and (ii) subject to any
shorter time periods provided herein or the applicable plans or arrangements, any
reimbursement or payment of an expense under such plan or arrangement must be made on
or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
expense was incurred.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     This Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of September 30, 2009
(the “Grant Date”), by and between Delek US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and Ezra Uzi Yemin (the “Participant”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Delek US Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
the Company desires to grant to the Participant, and the Participant desires to accept, an award of
stock appreciation rights (the “SARs”) with respect to certain shares of the Company’s common
stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement and the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Participant SARs with respect to 1,850,040
shares of Common Stock, at a base price per share equal to the greater of the (a) the Fair Market
Value (the “FMV”) per share on the date hereof, or (b) the applicable price described in the
vesting table set forth in Section 3 below.

     2. Term of SARs. The SARs listed in Section 3 below will expire upon the earlier of
(a) the first anniversary of the Participant’s termination of employment or (b) October 31, 2014,
unless sooner terminated in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement.

     3. Vesting. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, the SARs will become
vested and exercisable in accordance with the following schedule, subject to the Participant’s
remaining in the continuous employment or other service with the Company or its affiliates through
the applicable vesting date (unless otherwise indicated, monthly vesting shall be ratable and occur
on the last day of a calendar month):

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Number of SARs	 	Vesting Date(s)	 	Applicable Price

     4. Termination of Employment or Other Service. Except as otherwise specified in this
Agreement or in any employment agreement between the Company and the Participant, in the event of
the termination of the Participant’s employment or other service with the Company for any reason
other than for Cause, any SARs that have not become vested will thereupon expire, and any vested
SARs will expire upon the earlier of the expiration date of the SARs or one (1) year after the date
of such termination of employment or other service. If the Participant’s employment or other
service is terminated by the Company or its affiliates for Cause (as defined below), then this
award (whether or not then vested and exercisable) shall immediately terminate and cease to be
exercisable. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall have the meaning ascribed to
such term in any employment agreement between the Company and the Participant or, if there is no
employment agreement or such term is not defined in the employment agreement, then, for the
purposes hereof, the term “Cause” shall mean the Participant’s fraud, gross negligence or willful
misconduct involving the Company or its affiliates, the Participant’s conviction of, or plea of
nolo contendre to, a felony or crime involving moral turpitude, or the
Participant’s material breach of any written agreement between the Participant and the Company or
any of its affiliates.

     5. Settlement of Vested SARs. Subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan, upon
the exercise of an SAR under this Agreement, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary, as
the case may be) shall be entitled to receive, in the Company’s sole discretion, cash and/or a
number of whole shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the product of X and Y, where—

	 	 	 	X = the number of whole shares as to which the SAR is being exercised,
and

	 	 	 	Y = the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value per share on the date of
exercise over (b) the base price per share with respect to the SARs being
exercised.

     6. Exercise of Vested SARs.

     (a) The Participant may exercise SARs that are vested and exercisable under this Agreement by
delivering to the Secretary of the Company (i) a written notice of such exercise specifying the
number of shares of Common Stock covered by such exercise, and (ii) payment in full of the
withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise, unless other arrangements satisfactory to
the Company are made for the satisfaction of such payment.

     (b) Upon the exercise of an SAR under this Agreement, the applicable tax withholding
obligation may be paid

          (i) in cash or by check (including the withholding of cash sufficient to cover the withholding
obligation from the proceeds of a cash settlement of the SARs);

          (ii) at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Committee”), by (A) the delivery of previously-owned shares of Common Stock, (B) means of a
cashless exercise procedure in connection with a stock settlement (including, without limitation,
the withholding of shares from the settlement or through a broker-assisted cashless exercise), (C)
any other legal means that may be acceptable to the Committee, or (D) by a combination of the
foregoing; or

          (iii) at the discretion of the Committee, in any combination of the above.

     7. Rights as Stockholder. The Participant (or beneficiary) will have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by this Agreement unless, until and
except to the extent that shares are issued in the name of the Participant (or beneficiary) in full
or partial settlement of the exercise of the SARs and the applicable tax withholding obligation has
been satisfied.

     8. Nontransferability. This award may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation or liability of the Participant to any party (other
than the Company or an affiliate thereof), or assigned or transferred (collectively, “Transferred”)
by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to a beneficiary
upon the death of the Participant. The SARs may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Participant only by the Participant or his guardian or legal representative. Any attempt by the
Participant or any other person claiming against, through or under the Participant to cause this
award or any part of it to be Transferred in any manner and for any purpose shall be null and void
and without effect upon the Company, the Participant or any other person.

     9. Compliance with Law; Transfer Orders; Legends. The Company will not be obligated
to issue or deliver shares of Common Stock pursuant to a stock settlement of SARs unless the
issuance and delivery of such shares complies with applicable law, including, without limitation,
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which the Common Stock may then be listed, and
shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance. All certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered under this Agreement shall be
subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable
under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any
stock exchange or market upon which the Common Stock may then be listed, and any applicable federal
or state securities law. The Company may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

     10. No Employment or Other Rights. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement
shall confer upon the Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her
employment or other service with the Company or its affiliates or interfere in any way with the
right of the Company and its affiliates at any time to terminate such employment or other service
or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the other terms and conditions of the
Participant’s employment or other service.

     11. Provisions of the Plan. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the
provisions of the Plan and the Employment Agreement between the parties dated as of May 1, 2009,
the terms of which are incorporated in this Agreement, shall govern if and to the extent that there
are inconsistencies between those provisions and the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in the Employment Agreement or in the Plan, in the event of an
“Exchange Transaction” as defined in Section 7 of the Plan, the Board, acting in its discretion,
shall determine the effect of the Exchange Transaction on the Participant’s outstanding SARs,
which, with respect to any or all of such SARs, may include, without limitation, assumption by the
acquiring or successor company, acceleration of vesting, and/or cancellation for any or no
consideration, The Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan prior to the execution
of this Agreement.
