involving BBCN, Wilshire. and/or their subsidiaries as requested by BBCN; and (iii) any other services reasonably requested by BBCN (“Services”). Consultant shall not be required to devote more than 40 hours per week to the Services.
These Services may be amended from time to time in a writing signed by the Parties. Consultant shall report to the CEO of BBCN. 
 b.
Consultant may perform services for other entities, except to the extent doing so causes Consultant to breach Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement or creates a conflict of interest. Prior to entering into any consulting arrangement
with any bank, bank holding company, savings and loan or thrift institution (collectively, “Financial Institution”), Consultant shall inform BBCN in writing of such proposed arrangement and provide BBCN with an opportunity to advise
Consultant if it believes the engagement would constitute a conflict of interest. Consultant represents that he is not currently a party to any existing consulting agreement with any Financial Institution or any other agreement that is inconsistent

 1 

 
Term, Consultant and his spouse will be entitled to participate in the group medical insurance plans of BBCN to the same extent and at the same cost to Consultant as an executive of BBCN. BBCN
shall have no liability to Consultant for any amounts other than as expressly set out in this Agreement. If CEO of BBCN asks Consultant to undertake activities that will require him to incur expenses on behalf of BBCN and authorizes Consultant in
writing to incur those expenses, BBCN shall reimburse Executive for those authorized expenses. Otherwise, Consultant shall be responsible for all expenses incurred in association with the performance of the Services. 

3. TERM OF AGREEMENT 
 Provided that
Executive executes and does not revoke the Separation and Release Agreement by and between WILSHIRE BANCORP, INC. (“Wilshire”) and WILSHIRE BANK effective as of [DATE], 2016, this Agreement will become effective as of the Closing and will
be for a term of one year, unless terminated earlier as set forth below (“Term”). Upon ninety (90) days’ notice prior to the expiration of the Term, BBCN may extend the Term for one additional year at its sole discretion. 

4. TERMINATION 
 a. If either Party
materially breaches any of the provisions of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notification to the breaching Party. Termination will be effective fourteen (14) days after written notification

Services set forth in Section 1; (ii) BBCN’s failure to timely pay for Consultant’s Services; or (iii) failure of Consultant to comply with Section 8 regarding Proprietary Information, Section 1(b) regarding

if, the Agreement is terminated by Consultant due to BBCN’s material breach as set forth in Section 4(a), above, the balance of the fees that Consultant would have earned pursuant to Section 2, above, through the end of the Term but
for BBCN’s breach. Thereafter, BBCN’s obligations hereunder shall cease. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Agreement is terminated before the end of the Term for any reason other than BBCN’s material breach of the Agreement,
Consultant shall not be entitled to any fees other than those fees earned by Consultant through the date of termination. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that all BBCN property, Proprietary Information (as defined below) and equipment shall be

 8. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION 

a. Definition. “Proprietary Information” means all information pertaining in any manner to the business of BBCN,
unless: (i) the information is or becomes publicly known through lawful means; (ii) the information was part of Consultant’s general knowledge prior to Consultant’s relationship with BBCN; or (iii) the information is
disclosed to Consultant without restriction by a third party who rightfully possesses the information and did not learn of it from BBCN. This definition includes, but is not limited to: (A) techniques, development tools, processes, formulas and
improvements; (B) information about costs, profits, markets, sales, customers, and bids; (C) plans for business, marketing, future development and new product concepts; and (D) information regarding BBCN’s employees, agents, or

b. Confidentiality. Consultant shall maintain in confidence and shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or use, either
during or after the term of this Agreement, any Proprietary Information, confidential information, or know-how belonging to BBCN, whether or not it is in written or permanent form, except to the extent necessary to perform the Services. On
termination of Consultant’s services to BBCN, or at the request of BBCN before termination, Consultant shall deliver to BBCN all material in Consultant’s possession, custody or control relating to BBCN’s business, including

 10. NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES 

During the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Term ends, Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly solicit,
recruit, induce, or encourage any person who is an employee of BBCN to terminate his or her employment with BBCN or to become an employee of any organization with which Consultant may become affiliated, or cause or influence any organization with
which Consultant may become affiliated to do the same; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10 shall prohibit Consultant or any organization with which Consultant may become affiliated from engaging in any general solicitation not
targeted at any employee of BBCN, including any non-directed executive searches or placing general advertisements for employees in newspapers or other media of general circulation. 

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION/ARBITRATION 

Arbitration. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all claims or
controversies between Consultant and BBCN (or between Consultant and any present or former officer, director, agent, or employee of BBCN or any parent, subsidiary, or other entity affiliated with BBCN) relating in any manner to this Consultant
Agreement or the termination of the Consulting Agreement or Consultant’s consultancy shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitrable Claims”). Arbitrable Claims shall include, but not be limited to, contract claims,
tort claims, statutory claims and regulatory claims based on any federal, state, or local law, statute, or regulation. Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for all Arbitrable Claims. Except as
specifically provided in this agreement, any arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the then current JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) to the extent not inconsistent with
this Agreement. The Arbitration Rules are available for review at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Arbitrable Claims, including, but not limited to, whether
any particular claim is arbitrable and whether all or any part of this arbitration provision is void or unenforceable. The arbitrator’s authority shall include the authority to rule on a motion to dismiss and/or summary judgment by either
party, and the arbitrator shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator shall prepare a written decision containing the essential findings and conclusions on which any decision or award
is based. The arbitrator shall apply the same substantive law, with the same statutes of limitations and same individual remedies, that would apply if the claims were brought in a court of law. The arbitrator shall also have the authority to award
costs and fees to the prevailing party as provided by applicable law to the same extent as a court. Otherwise, each party shall pay its own costs and attorney’s fees. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to adjudicate class, collective,
or representative claims, to award any class, collective, or other representative relief on behalf of any person other than Consultant, or, without all parties’ consent, to consolidate the claims of two or more individuals, or otherwise preside
over any form of a class, collective, or other representative proceeding. Either Consultant or BBCN may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Otherwise, neither party shall initiate
or prosecute any 

  
 5 

 
lawsuit in any way related to any Arbitrable Claim. Nothing in this Agreement, however, precludes a party from filing an administrative charge with an agency that has jurisdiction over a claim
that is otherwise arbitrable. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement prohibits either party from seeking provisional relief pursuant to Section 1281.8 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. All arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall
be conducted in Los Angeles, California, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The parties understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement, they are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Consultant and BBCN each waives any right either may have to bring any class, collective, or representative action against the other party, whether in arbitration, in court, or otherwise, or to participate as a member of any class or collective
action against the other party (“Waived Claims”). This arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and, to the extent permitted by such Act, the laws of the State of California. 

12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 a.
Assignment; Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers. Consultant agrees that he will render the Services and will not assign, delegate or transfer the responsibility of providing such Services to BBCN pursuant to this Agreement. BBCN may
assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement to its affiliates, subsidiaries or other successors to all or substantially all assets of BBCN. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and no extrinsic evidence
whatsoever may be introduced involving this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement
shall not be amended or modified in any way except by an instrument in writing executed by the Parties. 
 b. Severability;
Enforcement; Governing Law. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place, or circumstance, shall be held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, the
remainder of this Agreement and such provisions as applied to other persons, places, and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect, and such provision shall be enforced to fullest extent consistent with applicable law. Except as otherwise
provided, the validity, interpretation, enforceability, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 

13. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Agreement, are fully aware of its legal effect, and have entered into it voluntarily and freely based on their own judgment and not on any promises or representations other than those contained in the Agreement.

FORM OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED 

TRANSACTION SUPPORT AGREEMENT 

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED TRANSACTION SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of May
    , 2016 by and among (a) the undersigned Support Party and (b) the A.M. Castle & Co. (the “Company”) (together, the “Parties”) and amends that certain Amended and Restated
Transaction Support Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2016, by and among the Parties (the “TSA”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the TSA. 

WHEREAS, in order to accelerate the consummation of the exchanges anticipated under the TSAs ,permit the direct exchange of some or all of the
Existing Convertible Notes (as defined in the TSA) into Company Common Stock (as defined in the TSA) and make certain technical changes to the definition of the Make-Whole Premium (as defined in the Term Sheet attached to the TSA), the Parties
desire to amend the TSA as set forth in this Amendment; 
 WHEREAS, in order to fully implement certain terms of the amendment to the
various Transaction Support Agreements, dated January 26, 2016, the Parties desire to make a conforming change that was inadvertently not made to the portion of the Term Sheet relating to the New Convertible Notes; and 

WHEREAS, Section 9 of the TSA permits the Company and the Required Supporting Stakeholders to amend the TSA in the manner set forth herein;

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Amendments to the TSA. 

  

	 	a.	The paragraph under the caption “Convertible Note Exchanges—Exchange Offer Overview” in the Term Sheet is amended and restated as follows: 

In each of the Convertible Note Exchanges, the Company will, in exchange for the Company’s existing 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes due
2017 (the “Existing Convertible Notes”) that are held by each Supporting Convertible Noteholder, offer to issue to such Supporting Convertible Noteholder (each, an “Exchanging Convertible Noteholder”) either: 

 

	 	(i)	new 5.25% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2019 (the “New Convertible Notes”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Term Sheet (the “New Convertible Notes Option”); or

  

	 	(ii)	shares of Company Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in this Term Sheet (the “Common Stock Option”); or 

 

	 	(iii)	in the sole discretion of the Supporting Convertible Noteholder (as defined in the TSA), a combination of (i) and (ii). 

 If an Exchanging Convertible Noteholder elects the Common Stock Option, in whole or in part,
with respect to Existing Convertible Notes, the issuance of the Company Common Stock to such Exchanging Convertible Noteholder in exchange for Existing Convertible Notes shall take place on May     , 2016, and such date shall be
the “Convertible Note Exchange Settlement Date” with respect to such Existing Convertible Notes. 
 If an Exchanging
Convertible Noteholder elects the New Convertible Notes Option, in whole or in part, with respect to Existing Convertible Notes, the issuance of New Convertible Notes shall occur on May     , 2016, and such date shall be the
“Convertible Note Exchange Settlement Date” with respect to such Existing Convertible Notes. 
 The exchange(s) pursuant to
the New Convertible Notes Option and the Common Stock Option shall be consummated pursuant to separate exchange agreements, which shall more particularly describe the mechanics of such exchange(s). 

For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether any Convertible Note Exchange Settlement Date precedes the date that the Conversion Shares
Registration Statement (as defined below) is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable. 

 

	 	b.	The paragraph under the caption “Convertible Note Exchanges—Exchange Consideration” on the Term Sheet is amended and restated as follows: 

New Convertible Notes Option: For each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Convertible Notes exchanged pursuant to the New Convertible
Notes Option, on the Convertible Note Exchange Settlement Date with respect thereto, the Company shall issue to the Exchanging Convertible Noteholder $700 principal amount of New Convertible Notes. The aggregate principal amount of New Convertible
Notes to be issued to each Exchanging Convertible Noteholder shall be an integral multiple of $1,000, provided that on such Convertible Note Exchange Settlement Date, the Company shall pay the Exchanging Convertible Noteholder cash in lieu of

 
any principal amount of New Convertible Notes in excess of such integral multiple of $1,000 to which such Exchanging Convertible Noteholder would have been entitled. 

Common Stock Option: For each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Convertible Notes exchanged pursuant to the Common Stock Option, the
Company shall issue an Exchanging Convertible Noteholder the number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to: 
  

	 	(A)	$700 divided by $2.25 plus 

  

	 	(B)	(1) the Make-Whole Premium (as defined below, calculated based on a $700 principal amount of New Convertible Notes and an assumed first interest payment date of June 30, 2016), divided by 

(2) the greater of (x) 130% times $2.25 and (y) the average of the Daily VWAPs (as defined in the indenture governing the Existing Convertible
Notes) for the 20 VWAP Trading Days (as defined in the indenture governing the Existing Convertible Notes) immediately preceding the Convertible Note Exchange Settlement Date. 

On the Convertible Note Exchange Settlement Date with respect to such exchanged Existing Convertible Notes, the Company shall pay to the
Exchanging Convertible Noteholder cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Company Common Stock. 
 Accrued and Unpaid
Interest: With respect to all Existing Convertible Notes exchanged pursuant to either the New Convertible Notes Option or the Common Stock Option, the Company shall pay in cash, on the relevant Convertible Note Exchange Settlement Date, any
accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Exchanging Convertible Noteholder on account of its Existing Convertible Notes exchanged on such Convertible Note Exchange Settlement Date. 

 

	 	c.	The paragraph under the caption “Convertible Note Exchanges—Summary of Certain Material Terms of New Convertible Notes—Make-Whole Premium” on the Term Sheet is amended and restated as follows:

 Make-Whole Premium: “Make-Whole Premium” means, with respect to each $1,000 in principal amount of New
Convertible Notes, an amount equal to the present values of all scheduled payments of interest on the New Convertible Notes to be redeemed from the relevant redemption date (or conversion date, in the case

 
of a conversion) to (and including) the earlier of (x) the fourth interest payment date after such redemption date (or conversion date, as the case may be) and (y) December 31, 2019 (excluding
the Accrued Interest Amount), computed using a discount rate equal to the yield on the U.S. treasury security whose tenor most nearly approximates the time until each such interest payment plus 0.50%. It is understood for purposes of this
definition that if a redemption date or conversion date occurs other than on an interest payment date, (i) any accrued and unpaid interest on the New Convertible Notes that is paid in cash on the redemption date or conversion date shall be
subtracted from the amount of the first interest payment to be included in the calculation of the Make-Whole Premium, and (ii) if there are fewer than 90 days left in the current interest period as of such redemption date or conversion date, clause
(x) should refer to the fifth interest payment date after such redemption date or conversion date rather than the fourth. 
  

	 	d.	Conforming Change to Term Sheet. Pursuant to an amendment to the Transaction Support Agreement, dated January 26, 2016, the Parties agreed, among other things, that the Company shall not repay, redeem, prepay,
retire, defease or otherwise satisfy the Existing Secured Notes using, directly or indirectly, more than $10.0 million of borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility (or any indebtedness that is secured by a lien that ranks higher in priority
than the liens securing the New Secured Notes or the New Convertible Notes and the guarantees thereof). This covenant was added under the section of the Term Sheet captioned “Secured Note Exchange Offer—Summary of Certain Material Terms of
New Secured Notes—Additional Covenant.” A conforming change was inadvertently not made to the portion of the Term Sheet relating to the New Convertible Notes. For clarification purposes, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to this
conforming change and the paragraph under the caption “Convertible Note Exchanges—Summary of Certain Material Terms of New Convertible Notes—Certain Limitations on Refinancing of Certain Existing Debt” in the Term Sheet shall be
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows (with underlining showing text that has been added, for the convenience of the reader, but not being incorporated into the Term Sheet): 

The Company shall not refinance the Existing Convertible Notes or the Existing Secured Notes with any indebtedness (i) that is senior (either
in right of payment or as to security) to the New Convertible Notes, (ii) as to which a Person other than the Company or a guarantor of the New Convertible Notes is an obligor or provides credit support or (iii) that has any scheduled amortization
payments or a maturity date that is earlier than 91 days after the maturity date of the New Convertible Notes; except that such limitation shall not apply to borrowings by the Company in an amount not to exceed $10.0 million under the
Senior Credit Facility, the proceeds of which are used to repay, redeem, prepay, retire, defease or otherwise satisfy the Existing Secured Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to

 
subsequently issue additional New Secured Notes in exchange for Existing Secured Notes on terms no more advantageous to the holders of such Existing Secured Notes than the terms of the Secured
Note Exchange were to the Supporting Secured Noteholders, provided that such terms shall not include a Consent Solicitation or the payment of any tender or consent fees. 
  

	 	e.	The second paragraph under the caption “Convertible Note Exchanges—Registration Rights” in the Term Sheet is amended and restated as follows: 

The Company shall pay the holders of registrable securities under the Conversion Shares Registration Rights Agreement a fee in cash equal to
5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such holders’ New Convertible Notes if it fails to have the Conversion Shares Registration Statement declared effective at or prior to June 30, 2016 and an additional fee of 0.50% of the aggregate
principal amount of such holders’ New Convertible Notes for each period of 30 days thereafter that the Conversion Shares Registration Statement has not been declared effective. Any such fees will be distributed pro rata among the Supporting
Convertible Noteholders based on the principal amount of New Convertible Notes each Supporting Convertible Noteholder is entitled to based on the number of Existing Convertible Notes held, assuming the Supporting Convertible Noteholder elects the
New Convertible Notes Option. 
  

	2.	Ratification. Except as specifically provided for in this Amendment, no changes, amendments, or other modifications have been made on or prior to the date hereof or are being made to the terms of the TSA or the
rights and obligations of the Parties thereunder, all of which such terms are hereby ratified and confirmed and remain in full force and effect. 

  

	3.	Effect of Amendment. This Amendment shall be effective on the date on which the Company shall have received signature pages from the Company and the Required Supporting Stakeholders (the “Amendment
Effective Date”). Following the Amendment Effective Date, whenever the TSA is referred to in any agreements, documents, and instruments, such reference shall be deemed to be to the TSA as amended hereby. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed and delivered by
their respective duly authorized officers, solely in their respective capacity as officers of the undersigned and not in any other capacity, as of the date first set forth above.
