RECITALS:
A. The Credit Parties, the Agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) are parties to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2015 (as the same may from time to time be further amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”).
B. The Credit Parties, the Agent and the Lenders desire to amend the Credit Agreement to modify certain provisions thereof.
AGREEMENT:
In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein and for other valuable consideration, the Credit Parties, the Agent and the Lenders agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, each capitalized term used in this Amendment and not defined herein shall be defined in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
Section 2. Amendments.
(a) Amendment to Section 1.2. Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the definition of “Existing Letters of Credit” with the following definition in lieu thereof:
“Existing Letters of Credit” shall mean collectively the Existing Bank of America Letters of Credit and the Existing PNC Letters of Credit.
(b) Amendment to Section 1.2. Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the definition of “Issuer” with the following definition in lieu thereof:
“Issuer” shall mean (i) Agent in its capacity as the issuer of Letters of Credit under this Agreement, (ii) Bank of America in its capacity as the issuer of certain Existing Bank of America Letters of Credit and (iii) any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender who Borrowing Agent designates (with the consent of such Person and Agent) as an issuer of Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) Amendment to Section 1.2. The following definitions of “Bank of America”, “Existing Bank of America Letters of Credit”, and “Existing PNC Letters of Credit” are hereby added to Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement in the appropriate alphabetical order thereto:

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of Echo or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Agent will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances, (ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount or (y) the Borrowing Base Amount. Each of the Existing PNC Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder on the Closing Date by PNC as Issuer.
