 Exhibit 10.7 
 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN SECTION 5 THAT APPLY TO CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES OR EXPENSES THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM OR ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE
RESULTED FROM THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OR THE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF WATERMILL MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON IDENTIFIED HEREIN, SO LONG AS SUCH CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES OR EXPENSES ARE NOT

 MONITORING AND OVERSIGHT AGREEMENT 
 This MONITORING AND OVERSIGHT
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of December 8, 2006, among Latrobe Steel Company, a Pennsylvania corporation (together with its successors, the “Company”), Toolrock Holdings, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, “Holdings” and together with the Company, the “Clients”) and Watermill Management Company, LLC (together with its successors, “Monitor”).

 WHEREAS, the Clients have requested that Monitor render, and Monitor agrees to render, financial oversight and monitoring
services to the Clients as requested from time to time by the board of directors of Holdings. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the services to be rendered by Monitor to the Clients, and to evidence the obligations of the Clients to Monitor and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Clients hereby jointly and severally agree with Monitor as follows:

 1. Retention. The Clients hereby acknowledge that they have retained Monitor to, and Monitor acknowledges that,
subject to reasonable advance notice in order to accommodate scheduling, Monitor will, provide financial oversight and monitoring services to the Clients as requested by the board of directors of Holdings during the term of this Agreement.

 2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall continue until the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth anniversary of the
date hereof or (ii) the date on which Watermill-Toolrock Partners, L.P. or its successors and their respective affiliates shall cease to own beneficially, directly or indirectly, any securities of any of the Clients or their respective
successors. 

 3. Compensation. 

(a) As compensation for Monitor’s services to the Clients under this Agreement, the Clients hereby irrevocably agree, jointly and
severally, to pay to Monitor an annual fee of $750,000 (the “Monitoring Fee”), prorated on a daily basis for any partial calendar year during the term of this Agreement. The Monitoring Fee shall be payable in equal quarterly
installments on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the term of this Agreement (each a “Payment Date”), beginning with the first Payment Date following the date hereof. All payments
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account described on Exhibit A hereto (or such other account as Monitor may hereafter designate in writing). 

(b) Reference is made to that certain Monitoring and Oversight Agreement, of even date herewith, by and among Hicks Holdings Operating
LLC (“Hicks”), the Company and Holdings (the “Hicks M&O Agreement”). To the extent that the Clients are prohibited in any period from paying the entire Monitoring Fee due to Monitor and the entire “Monitoring Fee”
(as such term is defined in the Hicks M&O Agreement, together with the Monitoring Fee, the “Fees”) due to Hicks, the amounts of such Fees actually paid to each of Monitor and Hicks in such period shall be reduced in proportion to the
relative amounts otherwise due to each of them. The amount of any such reduction in Fees paid shall instead be paid in the next subsequent period in which the Clients are not prohibited from making such payment (together with the amount of any Fees
otherwise due in such subsequent period). 
 (c) All past due payments in respect of the Monitoring Fee shall bear interest at
the lesser of the highest rate of interest which may be charged under applicable law or the prime commercial lending rate per annum of JPMorgan Chase Bank or its successors (which rate is a reference rate and is not necessarily its lowest or best
rate of interest actually charged to any customer) (the “Prime Rate”) as in effect from time to time, plus five percent (5.0%), from the due date of such payment to and including the date on which payment is made to Monitor in full,
including such interest accrued thereon. 
 4. Reimbursement of Expenses. In addition to the compensation to be paid
pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Clients agree, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse Monitor for all “Reimbursable Expenses,” which shall consist of all reasonable disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without
limitation, costs of travel, postage, deliveries, fees and disbursements of counsel, communications, etc., but excluding allocated overhead) incurred by Monitor or its affiliates for the account of any Client or in connection with the performance by
Monitor of the services contemplated by Section 1 hereof. Promptly (but not more than 10 days) after request by or notice from Monitor, the applicable Client shall pay Monitor, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
described on Exhibit A hereto (or such other account as Monitor may hereafter designate in writing), the Reimbursable Expenses for which Monitor has provided such Client invoices or reasonably detailed descriptions. All past due payments in
respect of the Reimbursable Expenses shall bear interest at the lesser of the highest rate of interest which may be charged under applicable law or the Prime Rate 

  
 2 

 
plus 5.0% from the Payment Date to and including the date on which such Reimbursable Expenses plus accrued interest thereon are fully paid to Monitor. 

5. Indemnification. The Clients jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Monitor, its affiliates, and their
respective directors, officers, controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), if any, agents and employees (Monitor,
its affiliates, and such other specified persons being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Persons,” and individually as an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses,
damages and expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person (including those arising out of an Indemnified Person’s negligence and reasonable fees and disbursements of the respective Indemnified Person’s counsel) which (A) are related to
or arise out of (i) actions taken or omitted to be taken (including, without limitation, any untrue statements made or any statements omitted to be made) by any of the Clients or (ii) actions taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified
Person with any Client’s consent or in conformity with any Client’s instructions or any Client’s actions or omissions or (B) are otherwise related to or arise out of Monitor’s engagement, and will reimburse each Indemnified
Person for all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of any Indemnified Person’s counsel, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing for, defending or appealing
any action, formal or informal claim, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation, caused by or arising out of or in connection with Monitor’s acting pursuant to Monitor’s
engagement, whether or not any Indemnified Person is named as a party thereto and whether or not any liability results therefrom. None of the Clients will, however, be responsible for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses pursuant to
clause (B) of the preceding sentence to the extent they have resulted from Monitor’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Clients also agree that neither Monitor nor any other Indemnified Person shall have any liability
to any Client for or in connection with such engagement except for any such liability for claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses incurred by any Client to the extent they have resulted from Monitor’s bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Clients further agree that neither of them will, without the prior written consent of Monitor, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in
respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of Monitor and each other Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. EACH CLIENT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO ANY CLAIMS, LIABILITIES,
LOSSES, DAMAGES OR EXPENSES THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM OR ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OR THE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF MONITOR OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON, SO LONG AS SUCH CLAIMS, LIABILITIES,
LOSSES, DAMAGES OR EXPENSES 

  
 3 

 
ARE NOT A RESULT OF BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF MONITOR OR SUCH OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON, AS APPLICABLE. 
 The foregoing right to indemnity shall be in addition to any rights that Monitor and/or any other Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise and shall remain in full force and effect following
the completion or any termination of the engagement. Each Client hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and to service and venue in any court in which any claim which is subject to this Agreement is brought against Monitor or any other Indemnified
Person. 
 It is understood that, in connection with Monitor’s engagement, Monitor may also be engaged to act for a Client
or Clients in one or more additional capacities, and that the terms of this engagement or any such additional engagemen(s) may be embodied in one or more separate written agreements. This indemnification shall apply to the engagement specified in
the first paragraph hereof as well as to any such additional engagement(s) (whether written or oral) and any modification of said engagement or such additional engagement(s) and shall remain in full force and effect following the completion or
termination of said engagement or such additional engagements. 
 Each of the Clients further understands and agrees that if
Monitor is asked to furnish any Client a financial opinion letter or act for any Client in any other formal capacity, such further action may be subject to a separate agreement containing provisions and terms to be mutually agreed upon. 

6. Confidential Information. Monitor agrees not to divulge any confidential information, secret processes or trade secrets
disclosed by any Client or any of its subsidiaries to Monitor in connection with the performance of the services hereunder, unless such Client consents to the divulging thereof or such information, secret processes or trade secrets are publicly
available or otherwise available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6 to Monitor without restriction or breach of any confidentiality agreement or unless required by any governmental authority or in response to any valid legal
process. 
 7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding any choice-of-law provisions thereof. Each of the parties hereby (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Federal District Court for the District of Massachusetts,
sitting in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the United States of America, in the event such court has jurisdiction or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, to any district court sitting in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, the United States of
America, for the purpose of any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any claims by any Indemnified Persons for indemnity pursuant to Section 5 hereof, (b) waives, and agrees not to assert in
any such suit, action, or proceeding, any claim that (i) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court or of any other court to which proceedings in such court may be appealed, (ii) such suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) the venue of such suit, action, or proceeding is improper and (c) expressly waives any requirement 

  
 4 

 
for the posting of a bond by the party bringing such suit, action, or proceeding. Each of the parties consents to process being served in any such suit, action, or proceeding by mailing,
certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices hereunder, and agrees that such services shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this
Section 7 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 8. Assignment.
This Agreement and all provisions contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned (other than with respect to the rights of Monitor, which may be assigned to any one or more of its principals or affiliates) by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the
other parties. 
 9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the signature of any party to any counterpart shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart. 

10. Other Understandings. All discussions, understanding and agreements heretofore made between any of the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof are merged in this Agreement, which alone fully and completely expresses the Agreement of the parties hereto. All calculations of Monitoring Fee and Reimbursable Expenses shall be made by Monitor and, in the
absence of mathematical error, shall be presumed correct.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the services rendered and to be rendered by Advisor to the Clients, and to evidence the obligations of the Clients to Advisor and the mutual covenants herein contained,
the Clients hereby jointly and severally agree with Advisor as follows:

indebtedness, preferred stock or similar items assumed (or remaining outstanding) in such Subsequent Acquisition Transaction (in each case before deduction of any fees payable pursuant to this Section 3(b)).

of 1934, as amended), if any, agents and employees (each of Advisor, its affiliates and such other specified persons being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Persons” and individually as an “Indemnified
Person”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person (including, without limitation, those arising out of an Indemnified Person’s negligence and reasonable fees and
disbursements of the respective Indemnified Person’s counsel) which (A) are related to or arise out of (i) actions taken or omitted to be taken (including, without limitation, any untrue statements made or any statements omitted to be

the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit
or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of Advisor and each other Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. EACH CLIENT HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES OR EXPENSES THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM OR ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OR THE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY
NEGLIGENCE OF ADVISOR OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON. 
 The Clients further agree that with respect to any Indemnified
Person who is employed, retained or otherwise associated with, or appointed or nominated by, the Advisor or any of its affiliates and who acts or serves as a director, officer, manager, fiduciary, employee, consultant, advisor or agent of, for or to
the Clients or any of their subsidiaries, that the Clients or such subsidiaries, as applicable, shall be primarily liable for all indemnification, reimbursements, advancements or similar payments (the “Indemnity Obligations”)
afforded to such Indemnified Person acting in such capacity or capacities on behalf or at the request of the 

  
 3 

 
Clients, whether the Indemnity Obligations are created by law, organizational or constituent documents, contract (including this Agreement) or otherwise. Notwithstanding the fact that the Advisor
and/or any of its affiliates, other than the Clients (such persons, together with its and their heirs, successors and assigns, the “Advisor Parties”), may have concurrent liability to an Indemnified Person with respect to the
Indemnity Obligations, the Clients hereby agree that in no event shall the Clients or any of their subsidiaries have any right or claim against any of the Advisor Parties for contribution or have rights of subrogation against any Advisor Parties
through an indemnified Person for any payment made by the Clients or any of their subsidiaries with respect to any Indemnity Obligation. In addition, the Clients hereby agree that in the event that any Advisor Parties pay or advance an Indemnified
Person any amount with respect to an Indemnity Obligation, the Clients will, or will cause their subsidiaries to, as applicable, promptly reimburse any such Advisor Parties for such payment or advance upon request. 

The foregoing right to indemnity shall be in addition to any rights that Advisor and/or any other Indemnified Person may have at common
law or otherwise and shall remain in full force and effect following the completion or any termination of the engagement. Each Client hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and to service and venue in any court in which any claim that is subject
to this Agreement is brought against Advisor or any other Indemnified Person. 
 It is understood that, in connection with
Advisor’s engagement, Advisor may also be engaged to act for a Client or Clients in one or more additional capacities, and that the terms of this engagement or any such additional engagement(s) may be embodied in one or more separate written
agreements. This indemnification shall apply to the engagement specified in the first paragraph hereof as well as to any such additional engagement(s) (whether written or oral) and any modification of said engagement or such additional engagement(s)
and shall remain in full force and effect following the completion or termination of said engagement or such additional engagement(s). 
 Each of the Clients further understands and agrees that if Advisor is asked to act for any Client in any other formal capacity, such further action shall be at the option of Advisor and may be subject to
a separate agreement containing provisions and terms to be mutually agreed upon. 
 6. Confidential Information. In
connection with the performance of the services hereunder, Advisor agrees not to divulge any confidential information, secret processes or trade secrets disclosed by any Client or any of its subsidiaries to it solely in its capacity as a financial
advisor, unless such Client consents to the divulging thereof or such information, secret processes or trade secrets are publicly available or otherwise available to Advisor without restriction or breach of any confidentiality agreement or unless
required by any governmental authority or in response to any valid legal process. 
 7. Governing Law. This Agreement
shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, excluding any choice-of-law provisions thereof. Each of the parties hereby (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States Federal District Court for the Northern District of Texas, sitting in Dallas County, Texas, the United States of America, in the event such court has jurisdiction or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, to any district court sitting in
