POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO REGISTRATION STATEMENT GENERAL This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 ("Post-Effective Amendment No. 2") to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-00429) (the "Registration Statement") of Marathon Oil Corporation, a Delaware corporation formerly known as USX Corporation ("MOC"), is filed pursuant to Rule 414 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), by United States Steel Corporation, ("USS" or the "Corporation"). In connection with the Separation (as defined below), USS hereby adopts this Registration Statement as its own for all purposes under the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). After giving effect to the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, USS will be the issuer of the shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("91制片厂 Corporation Common Stock), covered by this Registration Statement and MOC will not be the registrant hereunder. After giving effect to the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, the plan to which the Registration Statement relates will be the United States Steel Corporation Savings Fund Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Plan"), which amends and restates in its entirety the USX Corporation Savings Fund Plan for Salaried Employees. After giving effect to the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, the securities covered by this Registration Statement will be 2,000,000 shares of 91制片厂 Corporation Common Stock. The Plan became effective in accordance with its terms upon the consummation of the Separation. THE SEPARATION On July 31, 2001, the Board of Directors of MOC approved a Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan of Reorganization") to separate MOC into two independent companies (the "Separation"). The Separation became effective as of 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2001. As a result of the Separation, the businesses of the U. S. Steel Group of MOC (the "Steel Group") are now owned and operated by 91制片厂 Corporation, an independent, publicly traded company wholly owned by the holders of the formerly outstanding USX-U. S. Steel Group Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Steel Group Stock"). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, among other things: (i) USX Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of MOC, was merged with and into MOC, with MOC being the surviving corporation, (ii) each outstanding share of Steel Group Stock was converted into the right to receive one share of United States Steel Corporation Common Stock, (iii) MOC changed its name from USX Corporation to Marathon Oil Corporation, and continues to own and operate the businesses of the Marathon Group of MOC, and (iii) the USX-Marathon Group Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, remains outstanding, unaffected by the Separation, as the sole outstanding shares of common stock of MOC. The Separation and related transactions are described more fully in USS's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") (File No. 333-69090) on September 7, 2001, as amended on September 20, 2001.

Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Article V of the By-Laws of the Corporation provides that the Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is made or is threatened to be made a party or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise, or nonprofit entity. The Corporation is empowered by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to the procedures and limitations stated therein, to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, employee, agent or director of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys' fees) in an action by or in the right of the Corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to the Corporation. To the extent a director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the Corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which he actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Policies of insurance are maintained by the Corporation under which directors and officers of the Corporation are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been such directors or officers. The Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director, except (i) for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Item 7. EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not applicable. Item 8. EXHIBITS. Refer to Exhibit Index following. Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Pittsburgh, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on January 8, 2002.
