Each of the parties to this Agreement also referred to as a “Party” and collectively the “Parties.” This Agreement sets forth the terms for mezzanine financing to the Company from EASLER.

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Parties and their respective Board of Directors have agreed to enter into a financing agreement as detailed within;

     WHEREAS, the Parties intend to clarify the commitment of EASLER to providing financing for the Company as evidenced by this Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Company will agree to specific terms and conditions for such financing;

     WHEREAS, EASLER will agree to provide $1,500,000 of funding to the Company as part of this Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Parties agree that said funding will be provided to the Company in installment payments pursuant to a form of Secured Convertible Note in the form set forth in Exhibit A; and

     WHEREAS, the Agreement will provide for certain conversion and payable in kind features.

     NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that for consideration noted in this Agreement, which all parties deem sufficient, and intending to be bound by the provisions hereof, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

     1. Financing. EASLER hereby agrees to provide the Company with funding with the following schedule (the “Funding Commitments”):

          1.1 Upon the execution of this Agreement, EASLER hereby agrees to provide the Company $1,500,000 of funding (“Funding”) which will be issued by wire transfer in nine (9) monthly installments (“Payment Schedule”) pursuant to the schedule described within the Payment Schedule Table below.

Payment Schedule Table

1

          1.2 As set forth within this Agreement, in connection for each $0.55 EASLER provided in cash for financing for the Company, EASLER will receive a warrant to purchase 1.25 shares of Echo restricted common stock at a per share exercise price of $0.65 with a term of eighteen (18) months (the “Warrants”). The Warrants shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

          1.3 For purposes of clarification, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, upon final payment of the full Funding, the Company will have received $1,500,000 from EASLER and the Company shall have issued Warrants to EASLER to purchase 3,409,091 shares of Company restricted common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share of cash received by the Company from EASLER (“Warrant” or “Warrants”). The Warrants will have an eighteen (18) month exercise right from date of issuance and will have a strike price of $0.65 per share. Any Warrants due to EASLER from the Company will occur within ninety (90) days from the receipt of any cash, resulting from the financing described within, which triggers the Warrant(s) issuance. (Example: Company receives $166,000 of cash from EASLER per this Agreement = $166,000/$0.55 = 301,818 X 1.25 = 377,273 of exercisable warrant at $0.65 strike price).

          1.4 The Funding is being provided to the Company by EASLER which has a maturity date of five (5) years from the date of the first advance (“Maturity Date”). Company may give Notice to EASLER of their request to convert any amount due under the Note at any time after the 1 year anniversary of such Note. Upon Notice, EASLER will have 5 business days to either convert per the terms of this agreement or request to be paid in cash by Company.

          1.5 EASLER may convert all amounts due Echo as described in the Note, Echo Common stock, at any time.

          1.6 The eight percent (8%) interest due to EASLER will be paid annually with an additional payable in kind (PIK) Note which will also bear interest at eight percent (8%) paid annually (“Interest”). Interest will be accrued annually and will not be due until the Maturity Date described within. The Company will have the option to pay the Interest at any time during the Term without any type of penalty in cash or common shares of the Company, at the Companies sole option, calculated as 1 share per $0.55 of interest owed.

          1.7 If EASLER elects, at its sole discretion, to convert any of the outstanding Note balance to Echo restricted common stock, the conversion rate will be one share of Company restricted common stock for each $0.55 (“Conversion”) (Example: $1.5M repayment amount would convert to approximately 2,727,273 Echo restricted common shares [$1,500,000/$0.55 = 2,727,273]).

          1.8 If EASLER does not exercise each Warrant within the five (5) year term, the Warrant will expire without further obligations from the Company.

          1.9 In the event both Parties agree in writing to accelerate the payment of any portion of the Funding, EASLER will be provided with an additional Warrant per the terms above for each dollar accelerated. For clarity, if EASLER were to accelerate $100,000 of the funding from the last month, he would receive an additional 100,000 Warrants.

     2. Default by Easler.

          2.1 Acceleration of Obligations. In the event that any payment required pursuant to Section 1 is not delivered to the Company within 15 days after written Notice of a demand of the date such payment is due, all obligations for payments pursuant to Section 1 will accelerate, and EASLER shall be obligated to provide the entire remaining Funding to the Company, provided that no default or event of default has accrued or is continuing by the Company under any agreement with Holder.

2

          2.2 Security Interest: To secure repayment of the Note, the Company grants to EASLER a first lien security interest in the assets of the company, including all patents, IP, and all other assets, of any kind until this note is paid in full or converted per the terms of this agreement. This Security Interest will be not be subordinated to any other debt or agreement without the written consent of both parties.

     3. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

          3.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

     6. Conversion.

          6.1. Voluntary Conversion.

          6.2. Conversion Procedure. Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6.1, it shall (i) surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal corporate office of the Company, (ii) deliver the Notice of Conversion set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto by mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at its principal corporate office, and (iii) state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued.

In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder the amount of outstanding principal that is not so converted, such payment to be made in cash. Upon conversion of this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

     7. Conversion Price Adjustments.

          7.1. Adjustments for Stock Splits and Subdivisions. In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance hereof fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend, distribution, split, or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of this Note shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

-3-

          7.2. Adjustments for Reverse Stock Splits. If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for this Note shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion hereof shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

          7.3. Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the conversion of this Note) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, or in the case the Company shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Holder of this Note, upon the conversion hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the conversion hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein; and in each such case, the terms of this Section 7.3 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the conversion of this Note after such consummation.

          7.4. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of:

                 7.4.1 Any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities of the Company for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus at the same rate as that of the last such cash dividend theretofore paid) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right; or

                 7.4.2 Any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person or any consolidation or merger involving the Company; or

                 7.4.3 Any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company,

then the Company will mail to the holder of this Note at least ten (10) days prior to the earliest date specified therein, a notice specifying: (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, or right; and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is expected to become effective and the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote thereon.

-4-

          7.5. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note such number of its shares of Common Stock (and shares of its common stock for issuance on conversion of such Common Stock) as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the Note and of the Common Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (and shares of its common stock for issuance on conversion of such Common Stock) shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire outstanding principal amount of this Note, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of this Note, the Company will use its best efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or common stock, as the case may be, to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

     8. Assignment. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Section 10 below, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder of this Note shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators, and transferees of the parties.

     9. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived, or modified upon the written consent of the Company and Holder.

     10. Transfer of This Note or Securities Issuable on Conversion Hereof. With respect to any offer, sale, or other disposition of this Note or securities into which such Note may be converted, the Holder will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such Holder's counsel, to the effect that such offer, sale, or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect). Promptly upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, the Company shall notify such Holder that such Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or such securities, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 10 that the opinion of counsel for the Holder is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the Holder promptly after such determination has been made. Each Note thus transferred and each certificate representing the securities thus transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such legend is not required. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

     11. Treatment of Note. To the extent permitted by generally accepted accounting principles, the Company will treat, account, and report the Note as debt and not equity for accounting purposes and with respect to any returns filed with federal, state, or local tax authorities.

     12. Notices. Any notice, request, or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of service if personally served on the party to whom such notice is to be given, on the date of transmittal of service via telecopy to the party to whom notice is to be given (with a confirming copy delivered within 24 hours thereafter), or on the third day after mailing if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given, by first class mail, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or via a recognized overnight courier providing a receipt for delivery and properly addressed at the respective addresses of the parties as set forth herein. Any party hereto may by notice so given change its address for future notice hereunder.

-5-

Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or any other person the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company; and no dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of shares of capital stock obtainable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Note shall have been converted.

This Note, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of Arizona, without regard to its choice of law principles.
