August 30, 2005

To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks,

Trust Companies and Other Nominees:

We have been appointed by EGL, Inc., a Texas corporation (“EGL”), to act as Dealer Manager in connection with EGL’s offer to purchase up to 9,615,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (such shares, together with all other outstanding shares of common stock of EGL, are herein referred to as the “shares”), at a price not greater than $26.00 nor less than $22.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in EGL’s Offer to Purchase, dated August 30, 2005 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “tender offer”). Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to EGL’s shares shall include the associated preferred stock purchase rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2001, between EGL and Computershare Investor Services, L.L.C., as Rights Agent. All shares tendered and purchased will include such associated preferred stock purchase rights. All capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

EGL will determine a single per share price, not greater than $26.00 nor less than $22.50 per share, that it will pay for the shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer taking into account the number of shares so tendered and the prices specified by tendering shareholders. EGL will select the purchase price that will allow it to purchase 9,615,000 shares (or such lesser number as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn) pursuant to the tender offer. EGL will purchase all shares validly tendered at prices at or below the purchase price and not withdrawn upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, including the provisions relating to “odd lot” tenders, proration and conditional tender described in the Offer to Purchase.

Shares tendered at prices in excess of the purchase price and shares not purchased because of proration or conditional tenders will be returned at EGL’s expense to the shareholders who tendered such shares promptly after the Expiration Date.

As described in the Offer to Purchase, in the event the final purchase price is less than the maximum price of $26.00 per share and more than 9,615,000 shares are tendered in the tender offer at or below the purchase price, EGL intends to exercise its right to purchase up to an additional 2% of its outstanding shares without extending the tender offer so that it repurchases up to $250 million of its shares. By way of example, if the final purchase price is

$25.00 per share, EGL intends to purchase up to an additional 385,000 of its outstanding shares to the extent tendered in the tender offer. EGL also expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to purchase additional shares subject to applicable legal requirements. See Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase.
