	 	(2)	Payment of Related Dividend Equivalents. The Participant will be entitled to receive from SunCoke, within two (2) months after the end of the
applicable Vesting Period, a cash payment in respect of the related Dividend Equivalents that vested for such Vesting Period. 

 Applicable federal, state and local taxes shall be withheld in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof. 
  

	1.5	Termination of Employment. 

  

	 	(a)	Termination of Employment other than a Qualifying Termination. Upon termination of the Participant’s employment with SunCoke or one of its Affiliates
at any time for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination, the Participant shall forfeit 100% of such Participant’s RSUs that have not vested, together with the related Dividend Equivalents, and the Participant shall not be entitled to

 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  

	2.1	Effect of Plan; Construction. The entire text of the Plan is expressly incorporated herein by this reference and so forms a part of this Agreement. In the event
of any inconsistency or discrepancy between the provisions of the RSU Award covered by this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Plan under which such RSUs are granted, the provisions in the Plan shall govern and prevail. The RSUs, the
related Dividend Equivalents and this Agreement are each subject in all respects to, and SunCoke and the Participant each hereby agree to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, as the same may have been amended from time to time
in accordance with its terms.

taxes. 

  

	 	(b)	Payment in Stock. Immediately prior to the payment of any shares of Common Stock to Participant in respect of vested RSUs, the Participant shall remit an
amount sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state and/or local withholding tax due on the receipt of such Common Stock. At the election of the Participant, and subject to such rules as may be established by the Committee, such withholding obligations
may be satisfied through the surrender of shares of Common Stock (otherwise payable to Participant in respect of such vested RSUs) having a value, as of the date that such vested RSUs first became payable, sufficient to satisfy the applicable tax
obligation.

carrying out the Plan, and to make determinations with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, the Plan and Awards made pursuant thereto. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Agreement shall be
likewise vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of this Agreement by the Committee, and any decision made by the Committee with respect
