 Exhibit 10.7 

TRANSITION AGREEMENT 

This agreement is made and entered into as of July 24, 2009 between Metal Services Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
(“Buyer”), Tube City IMS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), I Michael Coslov (the “Executive”), IMC Tube City Investments, LLC (“IMC LLC”) and IMC Tube City Holdings, Inc. (collectively with
IMC LLC, the “IMC Entities”). 
 Buyer, the Company and the Executive are party to an employment agreement effective
as of January 25, 2007 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which the Executive serves as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) has determined to identify and appoint a new Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The parties wish to provide for the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the
termination of the Executive as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its subsidiaries, and for the Executive’s service as non-executive Chairman of the Board of the Company, all of such matters to be
effective at such time as appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer of the Company by the Board becomes effective (the “Effective Time”) 

FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows: 
 1. Employment; Termination of Employment. Until the Effective Time, the terms of the
Employment Agreement and the Executive’s employment thereunder shall be as provided in the Employment Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. If prior to the Effective Time the Executive’s
employment is terminated for Cause in accordance with the Employment Agreement, the Company may terminate this agreement by notice to the Executive and, upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations under this agreement. The
Executive and the Company agree that the Executive’s employment with Buyer and the Company and his service as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company pursuant to the Employment Agreement will terminate without any
further action, effective at the Effective Time, with the effect provided in the Employment Agreement for a termination without Cause by the Company or a termination with Good Reason by the Executive (as provided in Section 3 of this
agreement). At the Effective Time, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from any office or position held by him with Buyer, the Company or any of their respective affiliates (except as a member of the Board) and shall execute and deliver
such documents as the Company may reasonably request to effect or evidence such resignation. 







 2. Retention as Non-Executive Chairman. Subject to termination as provided below, the
Executive shall be appointed (as a non-employee) as the non-executive Chairman of the Board of the Company as of the Effective Time and shall serve in such capacity during the period (the “Extended Term”) commencing at the Effective Time
and ending when terminated by either the Executive or the Company by notice to the other. In that capacity, the Executive shall perform such services consistent with that status and title as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company
may from time to time request. Nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from engaging in personal, charitable, business, professional and investment activities to the extent that such activities do not result in a violation of Section 11. The
Extended Term shall terminate automatically (i) if the stockholders of the Company fail to elect the Executive to the Board at any meeting held for the election of directors or if the Executive is removed from the Board by the stockholders (and
such a termination shall be deemed to be a termination by the Company) or (ii) if the Executive resigns as Chairman of the Board or as a member of the Board (and such a termination shall be deemed to be a termination by the Executive). The
Executive shall resign from the Board upon the termination of the Extended Term. 
 3. Termination Payments and Benefits.
As a result of the termination of his employment by the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the payments and benefits provided by Section 2C(b) of the Employment Agreement (but in the case of continuing health care coverage
provided for under Section 2C(b) of the Employment Agreement, as modified by clause (iii) below), which the Executive and the Company agree are as follows: 

(i) unpaid Base Salary through the Effective Time; 

(ii) $2,201,358, representing two times Base Salary, payable in 24 equal monthly installments over the two-year period following the
Effective Time (subject to Section 5), with the first such installment to be payable one month after the Effective Time; 

(iii) participation under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), for the Executive
and his spouse at the Company’s expense in the Company’s health coverage or, if eligibility for such participation expires or such participation is not permitted by applicable law or the terms of the applicable plan, comparable coverage
provided by the Company or prompt reimbursement on a monthly basis to the Executive for the reasonable cost of comparable coverage selected by the Company and the Executive, in either case until the earlier of (a) the death of each of the
Executive and his spouse and (b) the 
  

 2 








 
date, if any, on which the Executive and his spouse become eligible for health coverage under a plan provided by another employer (any coverage contemplated by this clause (iii) shall be
secondary to Medicare or any successor or similar governmental program to the extent the Executive or his spouse is eligible therefor) (if and to the extent the benefits required by this clause (iii) are provided through the Company’s
self-insured health benefits program, on the first business day of each month following expiration of the Executive’s eligibility for COBRA (x) the Executive shall pay to the Company the full monthly premium amount appropriate for coverage
for an individual and spouse (employer and employee portions) as in effect at the time such coverage is provided and as calculated for participants in the Company’s health benefits plan through COBRA and (y) the Company shall pay the
Executive an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Executive in that month); and 
 (iv) reimbursement of expenses incurred
by the Executive prior to the Effective Time in accordance with Sections 2B(c) and 2B(d) of the Employment Agreement promptly following submission of such documentation evidencing such expenses as the Company may require consistent with past
practice. 
 In addition, the Executive will be eligible for consideration of a bonus award under the Bonus Plan (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) in respect of the portion of 2009 ending at the Effective Time, if and to the extent awarded by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its discretion when it considers awards to other participants in respect of 2009. The Company
confirms and agrees that Executive shall have no obligation or duty to seek subsequent employment or engagement as an employee (including self employment) or as a consultant or otherwise mitigate the Company’s obligations hereunder; nor shall
the payments or benefits provided under this Section 3 be reduced by the compensation earned by Executive as an employee or consultant from such subsequent employment or consultancy, except as provided in clause (iii) above. The Executive
confirms and agrees that, except as expressly provided for in this agreement, no other amounts are payable to him or either IMC Entity by reason of his employment by Buyer or the Company or the termination thereof. 

4. Compensation and Benefits During the Extended Term. During any portion of the Extended Term prior to the second anniversary of
the Effective Time, the Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation for service as Chairman of the Board or as a member of the Board. During any portion of the Extended Term following the second anniversary of the Effective Time, the Company
shall pay to the Executive compensation at the rate of $20,833 per month (the “Board Compensation”), payable in installments conforming with the payment schedule for other Board members. The Board Compensation shall be in lieu of, and not
in addition to, fees and equity awards to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled by reason of his service as Chairman of the Board or as a member of the 

 

 3 








 
Board or any committee thereof. Commencing with the first calendar quarter following the third anniversary of the Effective Time, the payments, if any, to be made in respect of the Board
Compensation in each calendar quarter shall be adjusted to be in an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such payment without regard to this sentence and (y) the greater of (A) one (1) and (B) a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the COLA Index most recently announced as of the beginning of such calendar quarter and the denominator of which is the COLA Index most recently announced as of such third anniversary. 

5. Payments Following the Extended Term. If the Company terminates the Extended Term prior to payment of all of the monthly
installments provided by clause (ii) of Section 3, the Company shall not be required to make any further payments under such clause (ii) and the Executive shall instead be entitled to receive the sum of (x) the product of $91,723
and the number of monthly installments not paid under such clause (ii) and (y) the product of (A) $20,833 and (B) 24 minus the number of monthly installments not paid under such clause (ii), such sum to be payable in 24 equal
monthly installments over the two-year period following the end of the Extended Term, with the first such installment to be payable one month after the end of the Extended Term. If the Company terminates the Extended Term after payment of all of the
monthly installments provided by clause (ii) of Section 3, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Board Compensation for the two-year period following termination of the Extended Term. If the Executive terminates the Extended Term
he shall not be entitled to receive any further payments hereunder other than any installments provided by clause (ii) of Section 3 that remain unpaid, such installments to be paid in accordance with such clause (ii). 

6. Note Prepayment; Office; Perquisites. Within 15 days after the release provided by section 7 has been reaffirmed as
contemplated by Section 12(j), Buyer shall prepay $500,000 in principal amount of (and accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid) Buyer’s Series 2008 Promissory Note dated November 26, 2008 and payable to
Executive or order (the “Buyer Note”). During the Extended Term, the Executive shall be entitled to be reimbursed for the reasonable cost of benefits and perquisites to which he was entitled under the Employment Agreement immediately prior
to the execution and delivery of this agreement, provided that the Executive shall not be entitled to reimbursement for such costs in excess of an annual rate of $150,000; if such costs borne by the Company in any period are less than such
limitation, the difference may be carried forward to increase the limitation in a subsequent period. In addition, during the Extended Term the Company shall make available to the Executive or reimburse the Executive for the cost of an office and
secretarial support comparable to those provided to him by the Company immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this agreement, provided that the Company shall not be required to bear or reimburse the Executive for costs at a rate in
excess of those incurred by the 
  

 4 








 
Company for the Executive’s office and secretary immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this agreement; the Executive agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the
cost of his office by obtaining a sublease for the office space and leasing new office space as contemplated by management’s cost reduction plan for 2009; any differential between the rent on the sublease and the rent on the underlying lease
shall not be taken into account in determining the cost of the Executive’s office. Commencing with the first calendar quarter following the third anniversary of the Effective Time, the $150,000 limitation in the second preceding sentence and
the cost limitation in the immediately preceding sentence shall each be adjusted to be in an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount thereof without regard to this sentence and (y) the greater of (A) one (1) and (B) a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the COLA Index most recently announced as of the beginning of such calendar quarter and the denominator of which is the COLA Index most recently announced as of such third anniversary. If the Executive is
entitled to receive payments for the two-year period following the termination of the Extended Term by the Company in accordance with Section 5, he shall also be entitled to receive during such period reimbursement for the cost of benefits,
perquisites, office and secretarial support of the type referred to in this Section 6, provided that the Executive shall not be entitled to reimbursement for such costs at an annual rate in excess of $150,000. Any cost reimbursement to which
the Executive is entitled under this Section 6 shall be subject to the Company’s receipt of such supporting documentation as it may reasonably require consistent with past practice.

 8 








 
are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party hereto and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if

equitable. 
 (c) 409A Compliance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any
payment to which the Executive becomes entitled under this Agreement, or any agreement or plan referenced herein, in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (including, without limitation, the payment
described in clause (ii) of Section 3) constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and is not exempt from Section 409A of the Code as involuntary
separation pay or a short-term deferral (or otherwise), such payment shall not be paid, or commence to be paid, until such time as the Executive has experienced a “separation from service” (as such term is at the time defined in Treasury
Regulations under Section 409A of the Code). If Executive is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall not be made or commence until the
earlier of: (i) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company or (ii) the date of the Executive’s death following such separation
from service; provided, however, that such deferral shall only be effected if and to the extent required to avoid adverse tax 
  


 9 








 
treatment to the Executive, including, without limitation, those imposed under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the deferral period,
any payments that would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) shall be paid in a single cash lump sum payment to the Executive (or his beneficiary, as applicable). With regard to any provision that
provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or of in-kind benefits, including but not limited to those payments described in clause (iv) of Section 3, except as permitted by Section 409A of the Code, (A) the right to
reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (B) to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of health coverage provided to the Executive, the amount of expenses eligible for
reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (B) shall not be
violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect, and (C) such payments shall be
made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Executive shall be construed as a “separate identified
payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code to the fullest extent permitted therein. 
 (d) Notices. Any
notice or request required or permitted to be given to any party will be given in writing and, excepting personal delivery, will be given at the address set forth below or at such other address as such party may designate by written notice to the
