ARTICLE II

PURPOSE, ELIGIBILITY AND TERM

2.1 Purpose. The Company maintains this Plan to provide severance benefits to Executive Employees, whose employment is terminated in connection with, or following, a Change of Control. This Plan is not intended to be included in the definitions of “employee pension benefit plan” and “pension plan” set forth under Section 3(2) of ERISA. Rather, this Plan is intended to meet the descriptive requirements of a plan constituting a “severance pay plan” within the meaning of regulations published by the Secretary of Labor at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 2510.3-2(b). Accordingly, the Benefits paid by the Plan are not deferred compensation.

2.2 Eligibility. Each Executive Employee shall become a Participant upon election by the Board of Directors or appointment by the Committee. Except with respect to the reimbursement for legal expenses, described under Section 3.8, in order to receive a Benefit under this Plan, a Participant’s employment must have been terminated as a result of a Qualifying Termination. The Committee shall determine whether any termination is a Qualifying Termination.

2.3 Term of the Plan. The Plan will continue until such time as the Compensation Committee, acting in its sole discretion, elects to modify, supersede or terminate it; provided, however, that no such action taken after a Change of Control, or before, but in connection with, a Change of Control, may terminate or reduce the Benefits or prospective Benefits of any individual who is a Participant on the date of the action without the express written consent of the Participant.

ARTICLE III

BENEFITS

3.1 Immediate Cash Benefit. In the event of a Qualifying Termination, the cash Benefits to be paid to an eligible Participant shall be paid in a lump sum by mailing to the last address provided by the

Page 5 of 12

Special Executive Severance Plan

Participant to the Company. In general, payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the Participant's Employment Termination Date but in no event later than thirty (30) days thereafter; provided, however, that payment of any Benefits under any provision of the Plan that are deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A to any Participant who is a Specified Employee shall be paid in a lump sum on the later of the date such payments are due or the date six months after the Participant’s Employment Termination Date. In the event the Company should fail to pay when due the amounts described in Article III (determined without regard to the payment delay to Specified Employees required by Code Section 409A), the Participant shall also be entitled to receive from the Company an amount representing interest on any unpaid or untimely paid amounts from the due date (determined without regard to the payment delay to Specified Employees required by Code Section 409A) to the date of payment at a rate equal to the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. as in effect from time to time after such due date.

The amount of this lump sum shall be equal to the sum of the following:

(a) An amount equal to the Participant’s earned vacation (as determined under the Company’s applicable vacation policy as in effect at the time of the Change of Control) through his or her Employment Termination Date;

(b) (1) for the Chief Executive Officer, Annual Compensation multiplied by three (3); (2) for each Executive Employee Annual Compensation multiplied by two (2) or such other multiple as may be designated by the Compensation Committee;

(c) An amount equal to the excess of:

(1) the actuarial equivalent of the benefit under the Sunoco, Inc. Retirement Plan or any successor defined benefit pension plan (the “Retirement Plan”) (utilizing actuarial assumptions no less favorable to the Participant than those in effect under the Retirement Plan immediately prior to the Change of Control) and any excess or supplemental retirement plan, including, without limitation, the Sunoco, Inc. Executive Retirement Plan and the Sunoco, Inc. Pension Restoration Plan, in which the Participant participates (collectively, the “SERP”) that the Participant would receive if the Participant’s employment continued throughout his or her Benefit Extension Period, assuming for this purpose that all accrued benefits are fully vested and assuming that the Participant’s compensation in each year of his or her Benefit Extension Period is the Annual Compensation; over

(2) the actuarial equivalent of the Participant’s actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement Plan and the SERP as of the Employment Termination Date (including any additional benefit to which the Participant is entitled under the Retirement Plan or the SERP in connection with the Change of Control).

3.2 Payments to Beneficiary(ies). Each Executive Employee 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 Company 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.

3.3 Executive Severance Benefits. In the event that Benefits are paid under Section 3.1, the Participant shall continue to be entitled, through the end of his or her Benefit Extension Period, to those employee benefits, based upon the amount of coverage or benefits provided at the Change of Control, listed below:

Page 6 of 12

Special Executive Severance Plan

(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 supplemental coverages elected under Sunoco Inc’s applicable death benefits plan(s), or any similar plan of any of the following:

(i) a subsidiary or Affiliate which has adopted this Plan;

(ii) a corporation succeeding to the business of Sunoco, Inc.; and/or

(iii) any subsidiary or Affiliate, by merger, consolidation or liquidation or purchase of assets or stock or similar transaction)

will be discontinued under the terms of such plan(s); and

(b) Medical plan benefits (including dental coverage), with COBRA continuation eligibility beginning as of the end of the Benefit Extension Period, except as provided hereinbelow at Section 3.4.

In each case, when contributions are required of all Executive Employees at the time of the Participant's Employment Termination Date, or thereafter, if required of all other active Executive Employees, the Participant shall continue to be responsible for making the required contributions during the Benefit Extension Period in order to be eligible for the coverage. The Participant also shall be entitled to reasonable outplacement services during the Benefit Extension Period, at no cost to the Participant (but only to the extent such services are provided during the period that ends 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 Termination Date), from an experienced third-party vendor selected by the Committee.

3.4 Special Medical Benefit. In the event Benefits are paid to the Participant under Section 3.1:

(a) a Participant who was employed by the Company on January 1, 2008, and who was fifty (50) or more years of age on January 1, 2008, with a minimum of ten (10) or more years of Company Service on the Employment Termination Date, shall have medical (but not dental) benefits available under the same terms and conditions as other employees not yet eligible for Medicare coverage who retire under the terms of a Company retirement plan.

(b) a Participant who was (i) fifty (50) or more years of age on the Employment Termination Date, and (ii) was not employed by the Company on January 1, 2008, or was not fifty (50) or more years of age on January 1, 2008 or has fewer than ten (10) years of Company Service on the Employment Termination Date, shall be eligible to receive Company medical plan benefits (excluding dental coverage) following the Benefit Extension Period, at a cost to any such Participant that is equal to the full premium cost of such coverage.

Subject to modification or termination of such medical benefits as generally provided to other employees not yet eligible for Medicare coverage who retire under the terms of the Company’s retirement plan(s), such benefits shall continue until such time as the Participant becomes first eligible for Medicare, or the Participant voluntarily cancels coverage, whichever is earlier.

3.5 Retirement and Savings 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, except to the extent specifically provided in Section 3.1(c), payments received under any such plans shall not affect a Participant’s right to any Benefit hereunder.

Special Executive Severance Plan

3.6 Minimum Benefit; Effect of Executive Involuntary Severance Plan.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4 hereof, the Benefits available under those Sections of this Plan shall not be less than those determined in accordance with the provisions of the Sunoco Partners LLC Executive Involuntary Severance Plan (the “Involuntary Plan”). If the Participant determines that the benefits under the Involuntary Plan are more valuable to the Participant than the comparable Benefits set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4 of 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 sections 4.3 and 4.4 of the Involuntary Severance Plan, as if such provisions were part of this Plan.

(b) If a Participant is or becomes entitled to receive severance benefits under both the Involuntary Plan and Sections 3.1, 3.3 and/or 3.4 of this Plan, then the following rules shall apply, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan nor any provision of the Involuntary Plan. If and to the extent such benefits become payable under the Involuntary Plan before such benefits become payable under this Plan, the Participant shall receive benefits under the Involuntary Plan until the benefits under this Plan become payable, and the benefits under this Plan shall be offset by the comparable benefits previously paid under the Involuntary Plan. If such benefits under this Plan become payable simultaneously with or before such benefits under the Involuntary Termination Plan, the Participant shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Involuntary Termination Plan.

3.7 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 terminated employee, except as otherwise provided under the terms of the Plan, accrue vacation days, paid holidays, paid sick days or other similar benefits normally associated with employment for any part of the Benefit Extension Period during which benefits are payable under this Plan. A Participant shall have no duty to mitigate with respect to Benefits under this Plan by seeking or accepting alternative employment. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Plan shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Participant as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Participant to the Company, or otherwise.

3.8 Legal Fees and Expenses. The Company also shall pay to the Participant (or the Participant’s representative) all legal fees and expenses incurred by or with respect to the Participant during his lifetime or within ten (10) years after his death:

(a) in disputing in good faith any issue relating to the termination of the Participant's employment in connection with a Change of Control as a result of a Qualifying Termination entitling the Participant to Benefits under this Plan (including a termination of employment if the Participant alleges in good faith that such termination will be or is a Qualifying Termination pursuant to Section 1.20(c)); or

(b) in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Plan (or the payment of any Benefits through any trust established to fund Benefits under this Plan).

Such payments shall be made as such fees and expenses are incurred by the Participant (or the Participant’s representative), but in no event later than five (5) business days after delivery of the Participant's (or the Participant’s representative’s) written requests for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require. Notwithstanding the forgoing sentence, all such payments shall be made on or before the close of the calendar year following

Page 8 of 12

Special Executive Severance Plan

the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement under this provision in one calendar year may not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement under this provision in any other calendar year. The Participant (or the Participant’s representative) shall reimburse the Company for such fees and expenses at such time as a court of competent jurisdiction, or another independent third party having similar authority, determines that the Participant’s (or the Participant’s representative’s) claim was frivolously brought without reasonable expectation of success on the merits thereof.

3.9 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 3.10, the Benefits provided hereunder in connection with a termination of employment shall be provided only for the Benefit Continuation Period set forth in Section 1.4(b) of this Plan, and the special medical benefit described in Section 3.4 of this Plan shall not be provided. Such release and discharge shall be in such form as is prescribed by the Committee and shall be executed prior to the payment of any Benefits due hereunder. In no event shall execution of the release described in this Section 3.9 impair a Participant’s ability to pursue any rights with respect to benefits under the Sunoco Partners LLC Executive Involuntary Severance Plan.

3.10 Conditions to Entitlement to Benefit. In order to be eligible to receive full Benefits hereunder, a Participant shall make himself or 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, execute the release and waiver as described in Section 3.9, above. 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.

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 Amendment, Suspension and Termination. The Company acting by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof delegated such responsibility, retains the right, at any time and from time to time, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, for any reason, and without either the consent of or the prior notification to any Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such action taken after a Change of Control, or before, but in connection with, a Change of Control, may terminate or reduce the Benefits or prospective Benefits of any Participant on the date of such action without the express written consent of the Participant. No amendment, suspension or termination shall give the Company the right to recover any amount paid to a Participant prior to the date of such action or to cause the cessation and discontinuance of payments of Benefits to any person or persons under the Plan already receiving Benefits.

6.2 Nonalienation of Benefits. None of the payments, Benefits or rights of any Participant shall be subject to any claim of any creditor, and, in particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such payments, Benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment, trustee’s process, or any other legal or equitable process available to any creditor of such Participant. No Participant shall have the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the Benefits or payments which he/she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise, under this Plan.

Page 11 of 12

Special Executive Severance Plan

6.3 No Contract of Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any Benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant, or any person whosoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company, and all Participants shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

6.4 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

6.5 Successors, Heirs, Assigns, and Personal Representatives. This Plan shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including each Participant.

6.6 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

6.8 Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall not be funded. A Participant’s right to receive Benefits hereunder shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor of the Company. The Company may, but shall not be required to, set aside or earmark an amount necessary to provide the Benefits specified herein (including the establishment of trusts). In any event, no Participant shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of the Company which may be applied by the Company to the payment of Benefits except as may be provided pursuant to the terms of any trust established by the Company to provide Benefits.

6.9 Payments to Incompetent Persons, Etc. Any Benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receipting therefor shall be deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing, or reasonably appearing to provide for, the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Company, the Committee and all other parties with respect thereto.

6.10 Lost Payees. A Benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Committee is unable to locate a Participant to whom a Benefit is due. Such Benefit shall be reinstated if application is made by the Participant for the forfeited Benefit while this Plan is in operation.

6.11 Controlling Law. This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the extent not preempted by federal law.

6.12 Successor Employer. The Company shall require any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Company, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place. In such event, the term “Company,” shall mean the Company and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by the terms and provisions of this Plan.
