                   USX CORPORATION SUPPLEMENTAL THRIFT PROGRAM

                             Effective April 1, 1983
                           As amended January 1, 1999

1.  PURPOSE
The purpose of this program is to compensate individuals for the loss of Company
matching contributions under the USX Corporation Savings Fund Plan for Salaried
Employees ("Savings Plan") that occurs due to certain limits established under
the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") or that are required under the Code. The term
"Corporation" shall mean USX Corporation and any other company that is a
participating employer in the Savings Plan.

2.  ELIGIBILITY
Except as otherwise provided herein, an individual is a "Member" of the USX
Corporation Supplemental Thrift Program (the "Program") if he or she is an
employee of the Corporation who is eligible to participate in the Savings Plan
and either (a) is a member of the Executive Management Group, or (b) is not
permitted to make contributions to the Savings Plan at least equal to the
maximum rate of matching Company contributions applicable to his service because
of the limitations of the Code.

3.  AMOUNT OF BENEFITS
With respect to a month in which a Member's (a) ability to save on both a
pre-tax and after-tax basis under the Savings Plan at a rate at least equal to
the maximum rate of matching Company contributions applicable to his service is
restricted by law (including the limitations under Code sections 401(a)(17),
401(k), 402(g), and 415), or (b) ability to save on an after-tax basis under the
Savings Plan at a rate at least equal to the maximum rate of matching Company
contributions applicable to his service is restricted by Code section 401(m),
the full matching Company contributions which would otherwise have been
deposited into the Savings Plan on behalf of the Member will be credited for
such month to the Member's account under the Program (regardless of the Member's
rate of savings under the Savings Plan).

With respect to a Member who is a member of the Executive Management Group and
who so elects, as of the start of the next calendar year, the full matching
Company contributions which would otherwise have been deposited into the Savings
Plan on behalf of the Member will be credited to such Member's account under the
Program (regardless of the Member's rate of savings under the Savings Plan).

The amount credited to a Member's account in the Program (book entry only) will
be credited in the same manner as if the amount had been deposited in the
Savings Plan for investment in Corporation stock. For purposes of this Program,
Corporation stock shall mean, with respect to Members who are employed in the
steel and diversified businesses of the Corporation, USX-U.S. Steel Group Common
Stock ("Steel Stock"). For all other Members, Corporation stock shall mean a
combination of USX-Marathon Group Common Stock ("Marathon Stock") and Steel
Stock having the same ratio to each other as the ratio of the Market
Capitalization of the Marathon Stock to the Market Capitalization of the Steel
Stock as of the last day of the month preceding the date on which such amounts
are credited to the Member's account. "Market Capitalization" shall mean, on any
day, the product of the total number of shares of Marathon Stock or Steel Stock,
as the case may be, outstanding on such day, times the closing market price on
the New York Stock Exchange of a share of Marathon Stock or Steel Stock, as the
case may be, on such day.

Except as otherwise provided, the rules under the Savings Plan for eligibility,
Corporation stock values, share determination, beneficiary designation, and
vesting will be applicable under this Program.

4.   FORM OF BENEFIT
A Member shall receive a lump sum distribution of the benefits payable under
this Program upon the Member's (a) termination of employment with five or more
years of continuous service, (b) termination of employment prior to attaining
five years of continuous service with the consent of the Corporation, or (c)
pre-retirement death. Benefits provided by this Program shall be paid by the
Corporation in cash out of the general assets of the Member's Employing Company.

EXHIBIT 10(f) (CONTD.)

In the event a Member dies prior to retirement (or after retirement but prior to
receiving the benefits credited to his account under the Program), the benefits
will be paid to the Member's surviving spouse (or to the Member's estate, if
there is no surviving spouse) in the form of a lump sum distribution.

5.   SUPPLEMENTAL TAX BENEFIT
The benefits payable under the Program will be increased, where applicable, by a
supplemental tax benefit for those Members who are eligible for favorable tax
treatment (5/10-year forward averaging and/or capital gain treatment) with
respect to a distribution from a tax-qualified plan, except in the case of a
Member who terminates employment prior to age 60 without the consent of the
Corporation. The supplemental tax benefit is the amount necessary to provide the
net after-tax distribution from the Program (based on the maximum individual tax
rate in effect at the date of distribution) which would have been realized had
the value of the matching Company contributions credited to the Member's account
in the Program been included with the Member's account under the Savings Plan
and the total combined value been distributed in cash. In determining the
supplemental tax benefit, any favorable tax treatment the Member would be
entitled to receive will be based solely on the total combined distribution from
the Savings Plan, while the effects, if any, of the additional early
distribution tax or the excise tax on excess distributions from the Savings Plan
will be disregarded.

6.   GENERAL PROVISIONS
   a.   ADMINISTRATION
       The Vice President-Administration, United States Steel and Carnegie
       Pension Fund, is responsible for the administration of this Program. The
       administrator shall decide all questions arising out of and relating to
       the administration of this Program. The decision of the administrator
       shall be final and conclusive as to all questions of interpretations and
       application of the Program.

   b.   AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PROGRAM
       The Corporation reserves the right to make any changes in this Program or
       to terminate this Program as to any or all groups of employees covered
       under this Program, but in no event shall such amendment or termination
       adversely affect the benefits accrued hereunder prior to the effective
       date of such amendment or termination. Any amendment to this Program
       which changes this Program (including any amendment which increases,
       reduces or alters the benefits of this Program) or any action which
       terminates this Program to any or all groups shall be made by a
       resolution of the USX Corporation Board of Directors (or any authorized
       committee of such Board) adopted in accordance with the bylaws of USX
       Corporation and the corporation law of the state of Delaware.

   c.   NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT
       Neither the creation of this Program nor anything contained herein shall
       be construed as giving an individual hereunder any right to remain in the
       employ of the Corporation.

   d.   NONALIENATION
       No benefits payable under this Program shall be subject in any way to
       alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment,
       execution, or encumbrance of any kind by operation of law or otherwise.
       However, this section shall not apply to portions of benefits applied to
       satisfy (i) obligations for withholding of employment taxes, or (ii)
       obligations under a qualified domestic relations order.

   e.   NO REQUIREMENT TO FUND
       Benefits provided by this Program shall be paid out of general assets of
       the Corporation. No provisions in this Program, either directly or
       indirectly, shall be construed to require the Corporation to reserve, or
       otherwise set aside, funds for the payment of benefits hereunder.

   f.   CONTROLLING LAW
       To the extent not preempted by the laws of the United States of America,
       the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall be the controlling
       state law in all matters relating to this Program.

   g.   SEVERABILITY
       If any provisions of this Program shall be held illegal or invalid for
       any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining
       parts of this Program, but this Program shall be construed and enforced
       as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.

Mr. Clarence P. Cazalot, Jr.

Dear Clarence,

Subject to the approval of the USX Corporation Board of Directors
("Board"), I am authorized to extend to you, on behalf of Marathon Oil
Company ("Marathon"), an offer of employment for the position of
President, effective March 1, 2000 or such later date, immediately
following Texaco's acceptance of your resignation, as you can take
office (the "employment date"). I am also authorized to inform you that
you will be nominated to serve on the USX Board as Vice Chairman.

Significant aspects of Marathon's offer include the following:

1.       You will be paid, in equal monthly installments, an annual salary of
         $600,000. In addition, you will be eligible to receive an annual
         performance bonus, based on Marathon's actual performance in each
         calendar year, under the USX Corporation Senior Executive Officer
         Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, a copy of which is attached. Your
         bonus award for the year 2000 will be a minimum of $800,000.

2.       You will be paid a retention bonus of $200,000 on the first, second,
         third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of your employment date.

3.       Should you accept this offer of employment, the Board's Compensation
         Committee will approve, under the USX Corporation 1990 Stock Plan, a
         copy of which is attached, the following:

         (1)      the issuance to you of a stock option for 300,000 shares of
                  USX-Marathon Group common stock, the grant date to be the date
                  of your employment with Marathon. The option price, in
                  accordance with the Plan's Administrative Regulations, will be
                  equal to the mean of the high and low prices of USX-Marathon
                  Group common stock on the date of grant, and the option shall
                  be exercisable as follows:

                           Three years from the date of grant - 100,000 shares

                  100,000 shares, to be made 80% in USX-Marathon Group common
                  stock and 20% in USX-U. S. Steel Group common stock. The
                  option will have the same vesting period as options granted to
                  other executive management employees (currently one year from
                  the date of grant).

         (3)      a grant of 75,000 restricted-stock shares on the date of the

         in all of Marathon's existing and future employee benefit programs
         applicable to executive officers. In addition, you will receive (1) a
         comprehensive physical examination at Company expense in each calendar
         year in accordance with Marathon's policy covering physical
         examinations for Marathon's executive officers and (2) tax preparation
         and financial planning advice under terms and conditions comparable to
         those applicable to USX executive management.

         extend to you a change-in-control agreement which, upon your acceptance
         thereof, will provide you with earnings protection up to a maximum of
         three times your annual salary and bonus should a change in control of
         USX, as defined in such agreement, occur.

6.       You and your family will be covered by Marathon's medical care plan
         immediately upon your employment, resulting in no gap in medical
         coverage.

7.       Marathon will provide for reimbursement of the cost of membership fees
         and dues for one country club.

8.       You will be entitled to five weeks of paid vacation per year or the
         number of weeks to which you would be entitled under Marathon's
         vacation plan, whichever is longer.

Because of your extensive experience and personal qualities, you can make a
unique and valuable contribution to Marathon's future success. I therefore hope,
both personally and for Marathon, that you will accept our offer.

                                 Sincerely,

                       /s/    THOMAS J. USHER

                                 Thomas J. Usher
