Exhibit 10.1

SUNCOKE ENERGY, INC.

SAVINGS RESTORATION PLAN

(Effective January 1, 2012)

The SunCoke Energy, Inc. Savings Restoration Plan (the “Plan”) is established by SunCoke Energy Inc. (the “Company”) effective January 1, 2012 for the purpose of providing for certain employees benefits which otherwise would be lost by reason of the restrictive provisions of Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) applicable to the SunCoke Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan (the “SunCoke Plan”).

This Plan is an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 3(36), 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The Plan Administrator (as this term is defined in the SunCoke Plan), or its delegate, (“Plan Administrator”) shall administer the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine all questions arising in connection with the Plan. The Plan Administrator will also interpret the Plan, adopt procedural rules, and may employ and rely on such legal counsel, such actuaries, such accountants and such agents as it may deem advisable to assist in the administration of the Plan. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

The Plan Administrator shall select the employees eligible to participate in the Plan from among the participants in the SunCoke Plan whose employing corporation participates in the SunCoke Plan and adopts this Plan (hereinafter referred to as a “participating employer”). The participants in the SunCoke Plan selected for participation in this Plan shall be those Suncoke Plan participants whom the Plan Administrator reasonably believes will have annual base and projected target Bonus compensation in excess of the limitations on compensation imposed under the terms of the SunCoke Plan by reason of Section 401(a)(17) of the Code during the applicable calendar year.

Unless elected by the participant in Sections 2 or 3 below, each participating employer shall distribute in a lump sum to each participant in the Plan employed by it for whom it maintains book accounts or his Beneficiary an amount in cash equal to 100% of the value of his vested book account(s) attributable to all participant contributions and employer contributions (adjusted for investment earnings and losses on such contributions), on the first day of the seventh month following the termination of employment of such participant under circumstances constituting a separation from service, including disability (as such term is defined in Section 409A). Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of the value of a participant’s book accounts, adjusted for investment earnings and losses thereon, to any participant who has a separation from service due to death shall be paid in a lump sum immediately upon death to the participant’s Beneficiary.

Prior to the participant’s first year of participation in the Plan, a participant may make a one-time election, subject to Section 5 of Article V, to receive a distribution from the plan of 100% of the value of his vested book account(s) attributable to all participant contributions and employer contributions (adjusted for investment earnings and losses on such contributions) payable upon the participant’s Retirement in annual installments rather than in a lump sum. Under such an election, the participant shall elect to receive between 2 and 10 years of substantially equal annual installment payments, with the first installment payment to be paid on the first day of the seventh month following the participant’s Retirement, and the remaining installments to be paid on the anniversaries of the first payment date until all installments have been distributed. In the event the participant dies before all installment payments have been made under this section, payment of the remaining balance of the participant’s accounts will be paid to the participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum upon the participant’s death. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the total vested amount of a participant’s book account is less than $50,000 at the time of the participant’s Retirement, such amount shall be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the participant’s Retirement.

Concurrently with making an annual election to contribute to this Plan, a participant may make an election to receive an in-service lump sum distribution of amounts deferred to the Plan as Participant Contributions only (adjusted for investment earnings and losses on such contributions) on a specified date not earlier than the January 1 following three years from the end of the calendar year for which the election was made. For example, salary and Bonus amounts otherwise payable in respect of services performed in 2013 that are deferred under the Plan as Participant Contributions may not be paid earlier than January 1, 2016. Regardless of an election to defer payment under this Section 3, payment of a participant’s Participant Contributions (adjusted for investment earnings and losses on such contributions) shall be made upon separation from service or Retirement as described in Sections 1 and 2 above.

Upon a final determination that amounts deferred under the Plan are includible in the gross income of a participant under Code Section 409A, such amounts shall be distributed to the participant.

Subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, a participant who makes an election pursuant to Section 2 above may elect to change the form of payment for such election to a different number of installment payments or to a lump sum and a participant who makes an election pursuant to Section 3 above may elect to delay the time of payment elected pursuant to Section 3. In each case, any such election (a) must be made at least one year prior to the previously determined payment date, (2) shall not become effective until the date that is one year after the date on which such election is made, and (3) must delay the payment of any affected amounts to a date that is not less than five years after the date such amounts otherwise would have been distributed. For the avoidance of doubt, no deferral elections may be made pursuant to this Section 5 by any participant who is in pay status.

The Plan Administrator shall regularly review appeals by Claimants. The Plan Administrator shall act upon each appeal within 60 days after receipt thereof unless special circumstances require an extension of the time for processing the Claimant’s request for review. If such an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be forwarded to the Claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of 120 days after the request for review is received by the Plan Administrator.

The Plan Administrator shall make a full and fair review of each appeal and any written materials submitted by the Claimant and/or the Participating Company in connection therewith. The Plan Administrator may require the Claimant and/or the Participating Company to submit such additional facts, documents or other evidence as the Plan Administrator in its discretion deems necessary or advisable in making its review. The Claimant shall be given the opportunity to review pertinent documents or materials upon submission of a written request to the Plan Administrator, provided the Plan Administrator finds the requested documents or materials are pertinent to the appeal.

On the basis of its review, the Plan Administrator shall make an independent determination of the Claimant’s eligibility for benefits under the Plan. The decision of the Plan Administrator on any claim for benefits shall be final and conclusive upon all parties thereto.

In the event the Plan Administrator denies an appeal, in whole or in part, the Administrator shall give written notice of the decision to the Claimant, which notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, the specific reasons for such denial and which shall make specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the Plan Administrator’s decision was based.

This Plan may be terminated at any time by the Company. The Company or any participating employer may terminate participation in this Plan with respect to its employees participating in the SunCoke Plan. If a participating employer shall terminate the SunCoke Plan with respect to its employees, this Plan shall be terminated automatically with respect to future calendar years. Upon termination of the Plan, the amounts credited to participants’ book accounts under this Plan shall be distributed to such participants in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the participant’s existing elections.

This Plan may be amended at any time by the Board of Directors of the Company, except that no such amendment shall reduce for any participant the vested amount then credited to his book account established under this Plan.

No right to payment or any other interest under this Plan shall be assignable or subject to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind.

Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as giving any employee the right to be retained in the employ of any participating employer. Each participating employer in the Plan expressly reserves the right to dismiss any employee at any time without regard to the effect which such dismissal might have upon him under the Plan.

Benefits payable under this Plan shall not be funded and shall be made out of the general funds of the participating employers. To the extent any person acquires a right hereunder, such right(s) shall be no greater than those of a general, unsecured creditor of the Plan Sponsor.

This Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the state of Illinois.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be duly executed and its seal to be hereunto affixed on the date indicated below, but effective as of the Effective Date.
