Dear Dave:

On behalf of United States Steel Corporation (USS or the Company), I am pleased to offer you an opportunity for employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, currently located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at a base salary of $700,000 annually ($58,333per month) effective on a mutually agreeable hire date. Upon joining the Company, you will report to the Chief Executive Officer and become a member of the Executive Management Committee.

Hiring Incentives – The Company will provide you with a new hire grant valued at $500,000in the form of restricted stock units. The number of shares to be delivered will be based on the fair market value on the date of the grant, which will be the next business day following your date of hire. The shares will be subject to three-year cliff vesting from the date of grant and conditioned upon your continued employment with the Company.

Short-Term and Long-Term Compensation - As part of your employment, you will be eligible to participate in the Executive Management Annual Incentive Compensation Program (Annual Incentive Compensation Program) targeted this year at 110% of your base salary earnings, with a maximum incentive opportunity of up to 215% of your target based on a number of Company performance factors and influenced by your individual performance. Since your employment with USS would begin in the latter part of the current performance period under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program, any payments under the terms of that program for the 2013 performance period would be prorated based upon the number of full months worked during the performance period. Technically, as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, you will be a “covered employee” as that term is defined under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), and any payments for the 2013 performance period will be made as a separate bonus outside of the Annual Incentive Compensation Program, subject to the same performance conditions and negative discretion.

You will also be eligible to participate in the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program on a basis reasonably comparable to that of other executive officers. Under the current executive program, our executive officers receive a mix of the long-term incentive compensation value in the form of stock options, restricted stock units, and performance awards. The amount, mix, and the terms and conditions of your equity awards will be determined by our Compensation Committee. As approved by the Committee on July 28, 2013, and contingent on your employment with the Company, your 2013 Long-Term Incentive grant will be valued at $2,500,000, equally distributed in the form of stock options and restricted stock units. Because your employment will not begin until after the first 90 days of the performance period for the 2013 performance share grant, your long-term incentive grant awards will not include 2013 performance shares. Consistent with other executive participants in the Long-Term Incentive Program in 2013, your stock options will be premium-priced with a strike price of $25. The final number of stock options and restricted stock units granted to you will be calculated based on the fair market value on the grant date and will be communicated to you within your first week of employment. The terms and conditions of these awards are outlined under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program regulations.

As an Executive, you will be subject to stock ownership and retention guidelines as approved by our Board of Directors. The ownership requirement is currently defined as a multiple of salary midpoint, and for Executives at your level, the multiple is three times your salary midpoint. Until the required ownership is achieved, you will be required to retain shares equal to 100% of the after-tax value of shares received in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance awards, and at least 25% of the net value received from the exercise of stock options. Once the ownership requirement is satisfied, 25% of the net value received from future vestings and exercises must be retained in the form of shares. Further details regarding this program will be provided with your new hire paperwork.

Employee Benefits - As an employee of USS, you will be eligible to participate in pension, savings, and health and welfare benefit plans, including short-term and long-term disability programs, that are sponsored by USS and generally available to our newly hired USS management employees. Outlined below is a summary of the pension and savings benefits that you will be eligible to receive as an executive of USS. Your eligibility and participation in all of the following plans and programs is determined by the terms and provisions of these plans and programs, as they may be amended from time to time.

(1) Pension Benefit - You will participate in the Retirement Account under the Savings Fund Plan for Salaried Employees and be eligible for monthly Company contributions in the amount of 8.5% of your base salary. You will participate in a non tax-qualified restoration plan (the “Non Tax-Qualified Retirement Account Program”) with respect to the portion of the USS contributions to your Retirement Account that cannot be made due to certain IRC limitations. In general, you will vest in your Retirement Account under the Savings Fund Plan and your account under the Non Tax-Qualified Retirement Account Program after you complete three years of continuous service.

In addition, you will be eligible to participate in the Supplemental Retirement Account Program (“SRA”). Under the SRA, you will be eligible for book accruals in the amount of 8.5% of your incentive compensation received under the Annual Incentive Compensation

Page 2 of 6

Program. In order to vest in the SRA benefit, a participant must be at least age 55, have at least ten years of continuous service, and must be a participant in the plan for at least three years. For purposes of the SRA, the Company hereby waives the ten-year service requirement for vesting and consents to the termination of your employment on or after the attainment of age 65.

(2) Savings Benefit - You will be eligible to make employee contributions on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis to the Savings Account under the Savings Fund Plan for Salaried Employees with the sum of the employee contributions not to exceed 16% of your base salary (subject to limitations under the IRC). You will also be eligible for Company contributions that match your employee contributions up to 6.0% of your base salary (subject to IRC limitations). You will participate in a non tax-qualified restoration plan (the “Supplemental Thrift Program”) with respect to the portion of the Company contributions to your Savings Account that cannot be made due to certain IRC limitations. In general, you will vest in your Company matching contributions under the Savings Fund Plan after you complete three years of continuous service and in the Supplemental Thrift Program after you complete five years of continuous service.

Executive Physical Program - You will be eligible to participate in the Annual Physical Program for Executive Management Employees, which provides you with the opportunity to receive a comprehensive health examination to promote wellness and disease prevention.

Tax and Financial Planning -You will be eligible to receive, for the term of your employment with the Company, the tax preparation and financial planning services that USS provides to its executives through a third party vendor.

Change in Control Agreement - As the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, you will be eligible for a change in control agreement at 2.5 times your salary and bonus, in the form attached hereto. As more specifically detailed in the agreement, your coverage under the change in control agreement will continue while you remain in this role, or in another eligible role, until December 31, 2014; provided, however, that commencing on December 31, 2013, and each December 31 thereafter, the term of the agreement shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless, not later than September 1 of that year, the Company provides notice that it does not wish to extend the agreement. However, such agreement automatically is extended for a stated period of time if a Change in Control or Potential Change in Control of the Company occurs during the original or extended term of the agreement. As further outlined in the agreement, a Change in Control includes (1) a change that would have to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of the Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as (2) certain other specified circumstances involving (a) the beneficial ownership of the securities of the Company, or (b) the membership of the Incumbent Board of Directors, or (c) the merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof with other corporations, or (d) certain other circumstances.

Severance Provision - If (a) the Company terminates your employment within two years of your first day of employment with the Company other than for cause (as defined below), and (b) you are not entitled to any payment under your change in control agreement referenced above, you will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) twelve months of your base salary,

Page 3 of 6

and (ii) the equivalent of one year of your target bonus (i.e., 110% of your base salary) as that amount would be calculated under the Annual Incentive Compensation Program. This benefit is in lieu of any layoff benefit that may otherwise be payable under the Layoff Benefit Program. Such payment shall be made on the 30th day following your separation from service within the meaning of IRC section 409A (or, if such day is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day); provided, however, that no such payment may be made to you until the first business day following the six month anniversary of your separation from service if you are a ‘‘specified employee” under IRC section 409A at the time of your separation from service. The foregoing severance payments are conditioned upon your execution of (within 60 days following your separation from service) and compliance with the terms of a general release and waiver of all claims you may have against the Company and its directors, officers and affiliates, in the form presented by the Company, and a non-disclosure and non-compete agreement in the form presented by the Company, which current form is attached hereto.

For purposes of this severance provision, termination by the Company of your employment for “cause” shall mean termination upon (i) the willful and continued failure by you to substantially perform your duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness), (ii) the willful engaging by you in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, (iii) your conviction of a felony or conviction of a misdemeanor which impairs your ability substantially to perform your duties with the Company, or (iv) the material breach by you of the Company’s Code of Ethical Business Conduct. Under this definition of “cause”, no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.

This severance provision is not subject to renewal or renegotiation at any time.

Relocation Benefits - This employment offer includes reimbursement of the actual costs you incur for the reasonable expense of:
