 SUMMARY OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS 
  
 Non-employee directors of United States Steel Corporation (with the exception of Mr. Usher) currently receive: 
  

	 	    	Annual Retainer - $60,000 

  

	 	    	Committee Membership Fees 

  

	 	    	Audit & Finance - $10,000 ($11,000 for Chairman) 

  

	 	    	Compensation & Organization - $5,000 ($6,000 for Chairman) 

  

	 	    	Corporate Governance & Public Policy - $5,000 ($6,000 for Chairman) 

  

	 	    	Meeting Fee (for each Board or Committee meeting) - $2,000 

  
 Under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, non-employee directors (with the exception of Mr. Usher) may defer some or all of their annual
retainers in the form of Common Stock Units. A Common Stock Unit is what is sometimes referred to as “phantom stock” because initially no stock is actually issued. Instead, a book entry account is kept for each director that shows how many
Common Stock Units he or she has. When a director leaves the Board, he or she must take actual shares of common stock corresponding to the number of Common Stock Units in his or her account. Each participating director’s deferred stock account
is credited with Common Stock Units each January. The ongoing value of each Common Stock Unit equals the market value of the common stock. When dividends are paid on the common stock, each account is credited with equivalent amounts of Common Stock
Units. 
  
 In addition to the Common Stock Units credited to the directors
under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, each non-employee director (other than Mr. Usher) is annually granted Common Stock Units valued at $40,000. When the director leaves the Board, he or she is paid, in cash, the value of
these Common Stock Units at that time. 
  
 The compensation arrangements for
Mr. Usher for his service as a director are set forth in his Employment and Consulting Agreement dated February 13, 2003 which is attached as Exhibit 10(r) to United States Steel Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.United States Steel Corporation 2002 Stock Plan

effect. In addition, Shares related to Grants made on and after April 26, 2005 that are forfeited, terminated, cancelled, expire unexercised, settled in cash in lieu of stock or in such manner that all or some of the Shares covered by a Grant are
not issued to a Participant shall immediately become available for Grants, and these Shares, as well as any unused portion of the percentage limit of Shares in any calendar year or portion thereof beginning on or after April 26, 2005, shall be
carried forward and available for Grants in succeeding calendar years. During any calendar year, no Participant shall be awarded Grants pursuant to Paragraphs 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereof with respect to more than 800,000 Shares of stock.

 7.  Option.  A right to purchase a specified number of Shares at not less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date of the Grant. All Options will be Non-Qualified Options. Full payment for Shares
purchased shall be made at the time of the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part. Payment of the purchase price shall be made in cash or in such other form as the Committee may approve, including Shares valued at the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of exercising the Option. No Option shall have a term exceeding eight years from the date of grant or be exercisable prior to the expiration of one year from the date of grant, and, without prior stockholder approval, no Option

price is paid wholly in previously owned Shares of the stock of the underlying Option. Upon such an exercise, a Restored Option shall be granted with respect to Shares of the stock of the underlying Option, equal to the number of Shares actually
used to exercise the underlying Option or portion thereof plus any Shares withheld for the payment of taxes. A Restored Option (1) shall have an Option price equal to the Fair Market Value of the stock of the underlying Option on the date of
exercise, (2) shall have the same expiration date as the underlying Option and (3) shall not be exercisable prior to the expiration of one year from the date of grant. Grants and exercises of Restored Options shall be subject to such other

the Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish a uniform Fair Market Value of a Share for such period which shall not be more than the highest daily Fair Market Value and shall not be less than the lowest daily Fair Market Value during such
10-business-day period. No Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable prior to the expiration of one year from the date of grant. “Business day” shall mean all calendar days except Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays.

 10.  Restricted Stock.  An award of Shares for no cash consideration, if permitted by
applicable law, or for such other consideration as determined by the Committee. Each award shall be subject to: the condition that the Participant’s continuous service with the Corporation continue for at least one year following the date of
such award; vesting restrictions based on achievement of business objectives, Corporation performance and other criteria; and provisions for forfeiture and non-transfer. Subject to such forfeiture and transfer restriction provisions as may be
established by the Committee, any Participant receiving an award shall have all the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive any cash
dividends thereon. During the period April 26, 2005 through December 31, 2006, no more than 125,000 Shares of Restricted Stock shall be granted. 
  
 Each award of Restricted Stock under this Plan shall remain unvested until the Committee vests the Shares based upon the specific performance measures outlined in
the table below. The Committee has the authority to adopt, in accordance with regulations established under the Code, applicable target levels under these performance measures and the percentage of Restricted Stock to be vested for attaining these
target levels. The Committee reserves the right to reduce the percentage of Restricted Shares to be vested for a Participant. Shares of Restricted Stock under this Plan will be vested only after the Committee certifies in writing that the applicable
performance measures have been satisfied. No Shares of Restricted Stock shall be vested prior to the expiration of one year from the date of grant. In the case of a change in control of the Corporation, all restrictions shall terminate.

 11.  Assumptions
and Conversions.  Options and restored options to purchase USX-U. S. Steel Group Common Stock and stock appreciation rights with respect to USX-U. S. Steel Group Common Stock that were granted under the USX Corporation 1990 Stock Plan
and that remain unexercised on December 31, 2001, shall, effective January 1, 2002, be assumed by the Corporation and shall be deemed to constitute Options and Restored Options to purchase, and Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to Shares, and
shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the options, restored options and stock appreciation rights being assumed. The Options and Restored Options will cover the same number of Shares and have the same exercise prices as the options
and restored options to purchase shares of USX-U. S. Steel Group Common Stock that are being assumed, provided that the number of Shares and/or the exercise prices will be adjusted by the Committee, if necessary, so that (i) the aggregate
intrinsic value of the Options and Restored Options on January 1, 2002 is not greater than the aggregate intrinsic value of the options and restored options being assumed immediately before January 1, 2002, and (ii) the ratio of the exercise price
per share to the market value per share is not reduced. Any such adjustments will be based on the closing price per share of USX-U. S. Steel Group Common Stock on the last trading day before January 1, 2002 relative to the opening price per share of
Shares on the next trading day. These assumptions shall not represent Grants under Paragraph 5 or 10 hereof. Also, Shares of Restricted Stock into which restricted shares of USX-U. S. Steel Group Common Stock awarded under the USX
Corporation 1990 Stock Plan are converted on January 1, 2002 shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the restricted shares being converted. 
  
 12.  Transfer.  No Grant may be assigned, pledged or transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and during
a Participant’s lifetime shall be exercisable only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. 
  
 13.  Adjustments.  In the event of any change in the outstanding common stock of USS by reason of a stock split, stock dividend, stock
combination or reclassification, recapitalization or merger, or 

  

 3 

 
similar event, the Committee may adjust appropriately the number of Shares available for or covered by Grants and Share prices related to outstanding Grants and make
such other revisions to outstanding Grants as it deems are equitably required. 
  
 14.  Tax Withholding.  The Corporation shall have the right to deduct applicable taxes from any cash payment under this Plan which are required to be withheld and further to condition the obligation to deliver or
the vesting of Shares under this Plan upon the Participant paying USS such amount as it may request to satisfy any liability for applicable withholding taxes. Participants may elect to have USS withhold Shares to satisfy all or part of their
withholding liability in the manner and to the extent provided for by the Committee at the time of such election. 
  
 15.  Amendments.  The Committee shall have the authority to make such amendments to any terms and conditions applicable to outstanding
Grants as are consistent with this Plan provided that, except for adjustments under Paragraph 13 hereof, no such action shall modify such Grant in a manner adverse to the Participant without the Participant’s consent except as such modification
is provided for or contemplated in the terms of the Grant. 
  
 The Board may
amend, suspend or terminate the Plan except that no such action may be taken (other than as provided in Paragraph 13) which would, without stockholder approval, increase the aggregate number of Shares available for Grants under the Plan; decrease
the price of Options, Restored Options or SARs; change the requirements relating to the Committee; or extend the term of the Plan. 
  
 16.  Effective and Termination Dates.  Subject to approval by the stockholders, the Plan shall be effective on January 1, 2002 and shall
terminate on December 31, 2006, subject to earlier termination by the Board pursuant to Paragraph 15.
