 EXHIBIT 10.16 
 Metal Services Acquisition Corp. 
 Restricted Stock Plan 
 Restricted Stock Agreement 
 This
Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into effective as of                     , 2007 (the “Date of
Grant”), between Metal Services Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                     
(the “Participant”). 
 1. Restricted Stock Plan. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the terms of the Metal
Services Acquisition Corp. Restricted Stock Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement
conflicts with the express terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control and, if necessary, the applicable provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended so as to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan. 
 2. Definitions. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan unless otherwise defined in this
Agreement. 
 3. Restricted Stock. In order to encourage the Participant’s contribution to the successful performance of the
Company, and in consideration of the covenants and promises of the Participant herein contained, the Company hereby grants to the Participant as of the Date of Grant, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
            % of the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan on the Date of Grant, which is ten percent (10%) of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such date, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth below and in the Plan (the “Restricted Stock”). 
 4. Escrow of Certificates. The certificates representing the shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant and deposited, together with a stock power endorsed by the Participant in blank, with the
Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee) until such shares have vested in the Participant in accordance with Section 6. Each such certificate shall bear a legend as provided by the Company, conspicuously referring to the terms,
conditions and restrictions described in the Plan and in this Agreement. The Participant, by executing this Agreement in the space provided below, hereby acknowledges (a) that, as a material inducement to the grant of this Award under the Plan,
the Secretary of the Company (or his or her designee) is so appointed as the escrow holder with the authority to hold said certificates and stock powers in escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all transfers of vested Restricted
Stock or releases as are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Plan and (b) that the appointment is coupled with an interest, and that it accordingly will be irrevocable. The escrow holder will not be liable to the Participant
(or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless the escrow holder is grossly negligent. The escrow holder may rely upon any letter, notice, or other document executed by any signature purported to be genuine. 
 5. Restrictions on Transfer Before Vesting. The shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder to the Participant are subject to Section 9.4 of
the Plan during the period from the Date of Grant until they have become vested in the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. 

 6. Vesting of Restricted Stock. All restrictions (other than those set forth in the Investor
Stockholders Agreement referred to in Section 11, which shall continue in effect without regard to whether any Restricted Stock has vested) shall lapse and the Restricted Stock shall vest as follows: 
 (a) The Participant shall become vested as to: 
 (i) 25% of the total number of shares of Restricted Stock on the Date of Grant; 
 (ii) an
additional 15% of the total number of shares of Restricted Stock on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant; 
 (iii) an
additional 15% of the total number of shares of Restricted Stock on the second anniversary of the Date of Grant; and 
 (iv)
an additional 15% of the total number of shares of Restricted Stock on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant; 
 (v) an
additional 15% of the total number of shares of Restricted Stock on the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant; and 
 (vi)
an additional 15% of the total number of shares of Restricted Stock on the fifth anniversary of the Date of Grant; 
 provided, however, that the
Participant shall not vest pursuant to this Section 6(a) in shares of Restricted Stock if the Participant has not been continuously employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries from the date of this Agreement through such vesting date,
and as provided in Section 7, such shares shall be forfeited. 
 (b) All shares of Restricted Stock shall, unless previously forfeited,
become vested upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company. 
 7. Termination of Employment; Forfeiture of Unvested Restricted Stock.
If the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason, then the shares of Restricted Stock that have not previously vested in accordance with Section 6 above as of the date of such termination,
shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company. 
 8. Limitation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall be
construed to: 
 (a) give the Participant any right to be awarded any further restricted stock other than in the sole discretion of the
Committee; 
 (b) give the Participant or any other person any interest in any fund or in any specified asset or assets of the Company or any
subsidiary; or 

 (c) confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries, or affect the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the employment or service of the Participant at any time or for any reason. 
 9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant, the Company and their
respective permitted successors and assigns (including personal representatives, heirs and legatees), except that the Participant may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent and in the manner expressly
permitted herein. 
 10. Securities Act. The Company will not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this
Agreement if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such issuance would violate the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. The Company may require that the Participant, prior to the
issuance of any such shares pursuant to this Agreement deliver to the Company a written statement (“Investment Letter”), in form and content acceptable to the Company, in its sole discretion, stating (i) that the Participant is
purchasing the shares for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and (ii) that the Participant will not sell any shares of the Company that the Participant may then own or thereafter acquire except pursuant to a
registered offering or a valid exemption from registration. Any stock certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement shall bear a restrictive legend as follows: 
 THIS STOCK HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS. 
 11. Investor Stockholders Agreement. The Participant is a party to the Investor Stockholders Agreement, dated as of ,
                    , 2007 among the Company and the stockholders named therein; the shares of Common Stock transferred to the Participant
hereunder are subject to that agreement and shall remain subject to that agreement following vesting. 
 12. Federal and State Taxes.
Any amount of Common Stock that is transferred to the Participant hereunder may be subject to the payment of or reduced by any amount or amounts which the Company is required to withhold under the then applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or its successors, or any other federal, state or local tax withholding requirement. The Participant may, in his or her discretion, make the election permitted by Section 83(b) of the
Code with respect to the grant of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement. When the Company is required to withhold any amount or amounts under the applicable provisions of the Code, the Participant shall either pay to the Company, in cash or by
certified or cashier’s check, an amount equal to the taxes required to be withheld, or the Participant shall authorize (in writing) the Company to withhold from the payments to the Participant in an amount equal to the amount of federal, state
or local taxes required to be withheld. 

 13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware. 

 This Agreement is executed and delivered, in duplicate, pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are
incorporated herein by reference.

Under the rules established by the Committee, a limited number of investment options may be made available for Participant investment choices; provided, however, that the Committee shall, at a minimum, make available at least four different

and highly compensated executives designated by the Board of Directors as eligible. Any employee so designated who executes a Participation Agreement or who otherwise has any amount credited for his or her benefit under the Plan shall be a
Participant in the Plan and shall have a Plan Deferral Account. The Participation Agreement for each Participant shall specify the amount, stated as a whole percentage (not in excess of 25%), of a Participant’s Base Compensation to be deferred

interest in his or her Plan Deferral Account shall, except as may be otherwise specified by the Committee, be fully vested at all times. 
 ARTICLE VI—BENEFIT ENTITLEMENT 
 6.1 Benefits. Except as otherwise provided under the Plan, a Participant’s
benefit under the Plan shall be the amount of such Participant’s Plan Deferral Account. 
 6.2 Payment of Benefits. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided under the Plan or in another document approved by the Committee, the vested benefit of a Participant shall be paid to
the 

  

 3 

 
Participant or the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary in a lump sum on the earlier of such Participant’s termination of employment with the
Company (for any reason), termination of the Plan, or such time as the Participant specifies in his or her Participation Agreement. At the discretion of the Committee, with the consent or at the request of the Participant, benefits paid other than
benefits payable on account of the Participant’s death, may be in the form of a distribution of one or more insurance policies, or in a combination of cash and insurance policies, provided the aggregate value of the distribution is equal to the
amount that would have been payable in the form of a lump-sum cash distribution. In addition, benefits may be paid in the form of installment payments over a period of time up to 15 years in substantially equal periodic installments, where such
installments have a present value as of the commencement of such payments equal to the benefit that would have been payable in the form of a lump-sum cash distribution, using as a discount rate the rate of interest applicable to borrowing by the
Company, or such other reasonable interest rate as may be established for this purpose by the Committee. Payment of benefits in the form of such installments shall be at the election of the Participant, filed in writing with the Committee either at
the time the Participant first files his or her Participation Agreement, or at such later time as may be permitted by the Committee; provided no election shall be valid unless it is received in writing by the Committee no later than six months prior
to the date on which benefits would become payable and in a calendar year prior to the calendar year in which benefits would become payable. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2(a) above, the Committee shall in all cases have the right to pay out a Participant’s benefits or remaining benefits in the form of a lump-sum cash distribution. 
 6.3 Early Payment of Benefits. In the event that a Participant elects to receive benefits under the Plan at any time prior to the time payment of
benefits would be made under Section 6.2 of the Plan, the Participant shall file such election with the Committee and shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such election by the Committee, be paid ninety percent (90%) of such
Participant’s Plan Deferral Account, and such Participant shall not thereafter be entitled to any further benefits under the Plan and shall cease to be a Participant thereunder. 
 6.4 Hardship. A Participant may petition the Board of Directors of the Company for a distribution of all or a portion of his or her vested Plan
Deferral Account (without reduction as set forth in Section 6.3 above) on account of an unforeseeable emergency. If the Board of Directors of the Company determines that there is such an unforeseeable emergency, and that there are insufficient
resources available from other sources to pay the expenses associated with such unforeseeable emergency, the Participant shall receive a payment in an amount not to exceed the lesser of the Participant’s Plan Deferral Account or the amount
required to meet the financial needs arising from the unforeseeable emergency (increased to take into account any tax liability on such benefit payment and decreased to take into account amounts available from other sources, including reimbursement
through insurance or otherwise, the liquidation of other assets of the Participant to the extent such liquidation does not cause severe financial hardship, or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan). For purposes of this Section 6.4, an
unforeseeable emergency is any severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent of the Participant, loss of property of the Participant due to casualty, or
other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. 
  

 4 

 6.5 Death Benefits. The Designated Beneficiary of a Participant shall be entitled to a benefit
equal to such Participant’s Plan Deferral Account. 
 6.6 Compensation in Excess of Section 162(m) Limitations.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event a Participant is a “covered employee” as that term is used for purposes of Code Section 162(m), payment of benefits under the Plan shall not be made to such a
Participant to the extent that the amount paid is subject to the limitations on deductibility under such Code Section or is reasonably likely to cause other payments to such Participant to be subject to such limitations on deductibility. In the
event a payment is not made by reason of this Section 6.6, the payment will be made as soon as the payment can be made without the causing the limitations on deductibility under Code Section 162(m) to be applicable. For purposes of this
Section 6.6, a payment is subject to Code Section 162(m) to the extent that it exceeds the limits on deductible compensation payments and is not otherwise exempt from the application of that Code Section (e.g., on account of the exception
for performance-based compensation). 
 ARTICLE VII—PLAN DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS AND GAIN OR LOSS ADJUSTMENT 
 7.1 Deferred Compensation. 
 (a) Each
employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan and who executes a Participation Agreement shall be a Participant and shall have a Plan Deferral Account which shall be credited with the amount of such Participant’s Compensation that is
deferred under such Participation Agreement, subject to adjustment for gain or loss as set forth below. Each Participant shall be permitted to defer under the Plan either a percentage or a specified dollar amount to be taken out of amounts payable
to such Participant either as Base Compensation or as Bonus Compensation; provided, however, the amount of such elective deferral for any Participant shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be limited to the amount by which $30,000
exceeds the amount such Participant was permitted to defer for the Plan Year as a participant in the Company’s cash or deferred arrangement under one or more plans sponsored by the Company and qualifying under Code Section 401 (k). All
amounts permitted to be deferred by a Participant under this Section 7.1(a) shall also be subject to such other limitations and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as may be imposed on participation by the Committee at its sole
discretion, and which need not be applied uniformly to all Participants. 
 (b) Each employee who is eligible to participate in the Plan and
who is to be credited with an amount under the Plan as determined by the Committee (without regard to whether such employee otherwise has any amounts credited under the Plan) shall also be a Participant and have a Plan Deferral Account. Such
Participant’s Plan Deferral Account shall be credited with such amounts as the Committee determines, in addition to any amounts credited under Section 7.1(a) above. Any amounts contributed under this Section 7.1(b) shall also be

  

 5 

 
subject to such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the Committee at its sole discretion, which may include vesting provisions. To the extent
appropriate, the Committee may also establish subaccounts within a Participant’s Plan Deferral Account for purposes of applying separately any terms and conditions that may not be applicable to all amounts credited to a Participant’s Plan
Deferral Account. Any such additions to a Participant’s Plan Deferral Account or a subaccount thereof may, with the consent of the Participant, be in lieu of other deferred payment obligations of the Company to such Participant. 
 7.2 Gain or Loss Adjustment. Each Participant’s Plan Deferral Account shall be adjusted at the end of each Plan Year (or on the date of
distribution) (either such date being referred to herein as the “Valuation Date”) to take into account the Gain or Loss Adjustment for such period applicable to such account. For purposes of the Plan, the Gain or Loss Adjustment applicable
to a Participant’s Plan Deferral Account shall be determined as follows: 
 (a) Each Participant shall be permitted to specify an
investment or investments from among Permissible Investments which shall be the basis for determining the Gain or Loss Adjustment applicable to such Participant’s Plan Deferral Account in accordance with such rules as may be established by the
Committee. The Participant shall be permitted to change such specifications at such times as the Committee may specify in its rules. 
 (b)
On each Valuation Date, each Participant’s Plan Deferral Account shall be adjusted to reflect the gain or loss that would have been recognized if an amount equal to the Participant’s Plan Deferral Account balance as of the prior Valuation
Date, along with any additional amounts added to the Participant’s Plan Deferral Account on account of amounts deferred under the Participant’s Participation Agreement in effect during the period prior to the Valuation Date (but subsequent
to any prior Valuation Date), had been invested in accordance with the investment specifications of the Participant. For purposes of the determination of the Gain or Loss Adjustment, such adjustment shall be calculated by taking into account any
brokerage fees or other transactional costs that would have been incurred in actually carrying out the investment specifications of the Participant, whether or not such costs were actually incurred by the Company. 
 (c) For purposes of calculating the Gain or Loss Adjustment applicable to a Participant’s Plan Deferral Account, the balance in such Plan Deferral
Account at the beginning of the Plan Year shall be treated as having been invested for the full Plan Year or until the Participant is paid a benefit equal to his or her Plan Deferral Account balance in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, if
sooner, while the amounts deferred under the Participant’s Participation Agreement shall be treated as having been invested as of the date the amount of the Participant’s deferred Compensation would otherwise have been payable to the
Participant in the absence of a Participation Agreement. Any other amounts credited to a Participant’s Plan Deferral Account shall be credited for these purposes as of such date as the Committee determines. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, including those provisions giving a Participant the right of designating investments from
among 

  

 6 

 
Permissible Investments for the purposes of determining the benefit paid under the Plan, the Company reserves the right to invest its assets, including any
assets that may have been set aside for the purpose of funding the benefits to be provided under the Plan, at its own discretion, and such assets shall remain the property of the Company, or may be held in a Rabbi Trust, as the case may be, subject
to the claims of the general creditors of the Company, and no Participant shall have any right to any portion of such assets other than as an unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 ARTICLE VIII—FUNDING OF LIABILITIES 
 The Plan is intended to be an unfunded,
non-qualified plan maintained by the Company for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management and highly compensated employees. Benefits under the Plan may, however, be provided through a Rabbi Trust. A
contribution to such trust in any year shall not create any obligation of the Company to make contributions to such trust thereafter. The Plan shall be administered and construed so as to effectuate this intent. Any liability of the Company to any
person with respect to benefits payable under the Plan shall be based solely upon such contractual obligations, if any, as shall be created by the Plan, and shall give rise only to a claim against the general assets of the Company. No such liability
shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or any other encumbrance on any specified property of the Company. To the extent any benefits payable under the Plan are paid through a Rabbi Trust, the Company’s contractual obligations, if any,
shall be reduced accordingly. 
 ARTICLE IX—COMMITTEE 
 9.1 Quorum. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for any meeting held with respect to the Plan, and the acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum
is present, or the acts unanimously approved in writing by all members of the Committee, shall be valid acts of the Committee. No member of the Committee may act or vote with respect to a decision of the Committee specifically relating to his or her
benefits, if any, under the Plan. The Committee may be made up of a single individual at the discretion of the Company. 
 9.2 Powers.
The Committee shall have the power and duty to do all things necessary or convenient to effect the intent and purposes of the Plan and not inconsistent with any of the provisions hereof, whether or not such powers and duties are specifically set
forth herein, and, by way of amplification and not limitation of the foregoing, the Committee shall have the power to: 
 (a) provide rules
and regulations for the management, operation and administration of the Plan, and, from time to time, to amend or supplement such rules and regulations; 
 (b) construe the Plan, which construction, as long as made in good faith, shall be final and conclusive upon all parties hereto; and 
  

 7 

 (c) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in such manner
and to such extent as it shall deem expedient to carry the same into effect, and it shall be the sole and final judge of when such action shall be appropriate. 
 The acts and determinations of the Committee, including determinations with respect to claims of a Participant or Designated Beneficiary made in accordance with Section 11.8 hereof, shall be final and conclusive. 
 9.3 Indemnity. No member of the Committee shall be directly or indirectly responsible or under any liability by reason of any action or default by
him as a member of the Committee, or the exercise of or failure to exercise any power or discretion as such member. No member of the Committee shall be liable in any way for the acts or defaults of any other member of the Committee, or any of its
advisors, agents or representatives. The Company shall indemnify and save harmless each member of the Committee against any and all expenses and liabilities arising out of his own membership on the Committee. 
 9.4 Compensation and Expenses. Members of the Committee who are employees of the Company shall receive no compensation for their services rendered
as members of the Committee. Any other members of the Committee who are not employees of the Company shall receive such reasonable compensation for their services as may be authorized from time to time by the Company and, except as otherwise
provided by this Section, members of the Committee shall be entitled to receive their reasonable expenses incurred in administering the Plan. Any such compensation and expenses, as well as extraordinary expenses authorized by the Company, shall be
paid by the Company. 
 9.5 Participant Information. The Company shall furnish to the Committee in writing all information the Company
deems appropriate for the Committee to exercise its powers and duties in administration of the Plan. Such information may include, but shall not be limited to, the names of all Participants, the date each became a Participant, his or her
Compensation and date of birth, employment, termination of employment, retirement or death. Such information shall be conclusive for all purposes of the Plan and the Committee shall be entitled to rely thereon without any investigation thereof;
provided, however, that the Committee may correct any errors discovered in any such information. 
 9.6 Inspection of Documents. The
Committee shall make available to each Participant and his Designated Beneficiary, for examination at the principal office of the Company (or at such other location as may be determined by the Committee), a copy of the Plan and such of its records,
or copies thereof, as may pertain to any benefits of such Participant and Designated Beneficiary under the Plan. 
  

 8 

 ARTICLE X—EFFECTIVE DATE, TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT 
 10.1 Effective Date of Participation in Plan. Participants shall commence participation in the Plan on the later of the Effective Date or the
first day of the month coincident with or following receipt by the Committee of the executed Participation Agreement evidencing the Participant’s participation, or such other commencement date as may be established by the Committee with respect
to any Participant. A Participation Agreement shall continue in effect until such time as the Participation Agreement is revoked, deferrals are terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan, or the Plan is terminated. 
 10.2 Amendment and Termination of the Plan or Participation Agreement. This Plan or the Participation Agreement of a Participant may be terminated
or revoked by the Company at any time and amended by the Company from time to time, provided that neither the termination, revocation or amendment of the Plan or a Participation Agreement may, without the written approval of the Participant, reduce
the Plan Deferral Account or benefit payable to a Participant calculated as of the time of such termination or amendment. 
 ARTICLE
XI—MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 11.1 Anti-alienation. No benefit payable under the Plan shall be subject to any manner of
anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment or encumbrance except by the Company; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, attach or encumber such benefit, except by the Company, shall be
void. 
 11.2 Unsecured Creditor Status. Any Participant who may have or claim any interest in or right to any compensation, payment,
or benefit payable hereunder, shall rely solely upon the unsecured promise of the Company, as set forth herein, for the payment thereof, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to give to or vest in a Participant or any other person now or
at any time in the future, any right, title, interest, or claim in or to any specific asset, fund, reserve, account, insurance or annuity policy or contract, or other property of any kind whatever owned by the Company, or in which the Company may
have any right, title, or interest, nor or at any time in the future. Any insurance policy or other assets acquired by the Company to fund, in whole or in part, the Company’s liabilities under the Plan shall not be deemed to be held as security
for the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder but shall be, and remain, a general asset of the Company subject to the claims of its creditors. 
 11.3 Other Company Plans. It is agreed and understood that any benefits under this Plan are in addition to any and all employee benefits to which a Participant may otherwise be entitled under any other
contract, arrangement, or voluntary pension, profit sharing or other compensation plan of the Company, whether funded or unfunded, and that this Plan shall not affect or impair the rights or obligations of the Company or a Participant under any
other such contract, arrangement, or voluntary pension, profit sharing or other compensation plan. 
 11.4 Separability. If any term
or condition of the Plan shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent or in any application, then the remainder of the Plan, with the exception of such invalid or unenforceable provision, shall not be affected thereby, and shall continue in
effect and application to its fullest extent. 
  

 9 

 11.5 Continued Employment. Neither the establishment of the Plan, any provisions of the Plan, nor
any action of the Committee shall be held or construed to confer upon any Participant the right to a continuation of employment by the Company. The Company reserves the right to dismiss any employee (including a Participant), or otherwise deal with
any employee (including a Participant) to the same extent as though the Plan had not been adopted. 
 11.6 Incapacity. If the
Committee determines that a Participant or Designated Beneficiary is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, any benefit due such Participant or Designated Beneficiary under the Plan may be paid to his spouse,
child, parent, or any other person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for such Participant or Designated Beneficiary (including a duly appointed guardian, committee, or other legal representative), and any such payment shall be a
complete discharge of the Company’s obligation hereunder. 
 11.7 Jurisdiction. The Plan shall be construed, administered, and
enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by the Federal laws of the United States of America. 
 11.8 Claims. If, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee denies the claim of a Participant or Designated Beneficiary for benefits under the Plan, the Committee shall provide written notice, within
60 days after receipt of the claim, setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant: 
 (a) the specific reasons for
such denial; 
 (b) the specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 
 (c) a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is
needed; and 
 (d) an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure and the time limitations of this subsection applicable thereto.

 A Participant or Designated Beneficiary whose claim for benefits has been denied may request review by the Committee of the denied claim
by notifying the Committee in writing within 60 days after receipt of the notification of claim denial. As part of said review procedure, the claimant or his authorized representative may review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments to
the Committee in writing. The Committee shall render its decision to the claimant in writing in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant not later than 60 days after receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances require
an extension of time, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon after the sixty-day period as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review. The decision on review shall state the specific reasons therefor
and the specific Plan references on which it is based.

 11.9 Withholding. The Participant or the Designated Beneficiary shall make appropriate
arrangements with the Company for satisfaction of any federal, state or local income tax withholding requirements and Social Security or other tax requirements applicable to the accrual or payment of benefits under the Plan. If no other arrangements
are made, the Company may provide, at its discretion, for any withholding and tax payments as may be required.
