 For purposes of the foregoing, (a) the Applicable Rate shall be determined
(i) with respect to the period from August 7, 2013 to August 31, 2013 based upon (x) average daily Availability for the month of July 2013, determined as of August 1, 2013 and (y) the outstanding principal balance of
the Convertible Notes on the Ninth Amendment Effective Date and (ii) from and after September 1, 2013, as of the first day of each calendar month based upon (A) the previous calendar month’s average daily Availability and
(B) the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Notes on the first day of such calendar month and (b) each change in the Applicable Rate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the first day of the
applicable calendar month and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change, which shall occur on the first day of the subsequent calendar month; provided that (A) the Applicable Rate shall be deemed

Convertible Notes in connection with any change in the Applicable Rate as a result of a change in such principal balance. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, once a Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event has occurred, the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans
(x) with respect to ABR Revolving Loans shall be 0.50% and (y) with respect to Eurodollar Revolving Loans shall be 2.50%. A change in the Applicable Rate resulting from the occurrence of a Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event shall be

that the Borrowers are electing the existence of a Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event in accordance with the definition thereof. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that the financial statements upon which the existence of a Fixed
Charge Covenant Triggering Event was determined were incorrect (whether based on a restatement, fraud, inadvertence or otherwise), in addition to the requirements of Section 2.13(d), the Borrowers shall be required to retroactively pay any
additional amount that the Borrowers would have been required to pay if such financial statements had been accurate at the time they were delivered.

of 85% multiplied by the Net Orderly Liquidation Value percentage identified in the most recent inventory appraisal ordered by the Administrative Agent multiplied by the Borrowers’ Eligible
Inventory, valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in-first-out basis, at such time, minus (c) Reserves related to the Borrowers. The maximum amount of Inventory which may be included as part of the Borrowing Base is
the lesser of (i) 50% of the amount of Revolving Loans permitted under the Borrowing Base and (b) $37,000,000. The Administrative Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion, reduce the advance rates set forth above, adjust Reserves or reduce
one or more of the other elements used in computing the Borrowing Base. 
 “Fixed Charges”
means, with reference to any period, without duplication, cash Interest Expense, plus cash prepayments and scheduled principal payments on Indebtedness made during such period, plus all federal, state and local taxes paid
in cash, net of tax refunds received in cash (but in no event shall such net amount be less than zero), plus dividends or distributions paid in cash, plus Capital Lease Obligation payments, plus cash

are reduced to zero or otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further, however, that following the Second Lien Notes Closing Date, so long as the conditions set forth in (A) and (B) above shall have been satisfied, the
Maturity Date shall mean the earliest of (x) January 16, 2017 and (y) six (6) months prior to the maturity date of the Second Lien Notes and (z) any earlier date on which the Commitments are reduced to zero or otherwise
terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.

Administrative Agent deems necessary, in its Permitted Discretion, to maintain (including, without limitation, an inventory reserve, an availability reserve, reserves for accrued and unpaid interest on the Secured Obligations, Banking Services

 SECTION 5. Reference to
and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents. 
 (a) On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each

Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents. 
 (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment

page to this Amendment by telecopier, facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. 

 SECTION 7. Headings. Section headings are for convenience of

do so), (b) following the occurrence of an Event of Default or following the applicable landlord taking possession of the applicable premises, the Administrative Agent shall have an unlimited number of days to remain on the applicable premises

conflict between (a) any such Collateral Access Agreement or such landlord waiver and (b) the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement shall control. 

SECTION 11. Release. Each Loan Party hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and any and all participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, insurers, indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors,
officers, agents and employees of any of the foregoing, from any and all known claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or
otherwise, which any Loan Party has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time to and including the date of this
Amendment, whether such claims, demands and causes of action are matured or unmatured.

 Exhibit 10.34 

AMENDMENT 4 
 Dated August 7, 2013 
 to 

EQUIPMENT FINANCING AGREEMENT NO. 13379 (the “Agreement”) 

dated December 12, 2011 between Buffalo Shredding and Recovery, LLC 

(as “Borrower”) and First Niagara Leasing, Inc. (as “Lender”) 

Effective this 7th day of August 2013, the parties hereto agree that Section 30 Financial Covenants of the above referenced
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 30. FINANCIAL COVENANTS: (a) Maximum Capital
Expenditures; Neither Borrower nor Borrower’s parent company, Metalico, Inc. (“Metalico”), shall incur or make any Capital Expenditures for unfinanced acquisitions in excess of $13,500,000 in the aggregate during any fiscal year
commencing with the 2013 fiscal year; provided that following the occurrence of a Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower and Metalico shall be permitted to incur Capital
Expenditures, including Capital Expenditures for unfinanced acquisitions, in an amount not to exceed $20,000,000 during such fiscal year. “Capital Expenditure” means any expenditure for any purchase or other acquisition of any asset that
may be properly classified as a fixed or capital asset on a consolidated balance sheet Metalico and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that the maximum Capital Expenditure covenant contained herein is inconsistent with the maximum Capital Expenditure covenant contained in any senior financing agreement or other senior financing document (as amended, the
“Senior Financing Documents”) to which Borrower or Metalico, Inc. is subject, then the maximum Capital Expenditure covenant contained herein shall be amended to the extent necessary to “mirror” the Capital Expenditure covenant
set forth in such Senior Financing Documents. 
 (b) Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Upon and following the occurrence of a
Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event, Borrower and Metalico shall not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, determined for any period of twelve consecutive fiscal months ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter, to be less than 1.10 to 1.0,
measured on a consolidated/consolidating basis. “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, as of the date of determination, the ratio of (i) EBITDA minus the unfinanced portion of Capital Expenditures to (ii) Fixed Charges, all
calculated for the Company (including Borrower) on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant contained herein
is inconsistent with the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant contained in any Senior Financing Documents to which the Borrower or Metalico is subject, then the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant contained herein shall be amended
to the extent necessary to “mirror” the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in such Senior Financing Documents; provided, however, that in no event shall such inconsistency with the Senior Financing Documents result in a minimum
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of less than 1.00 to 1.00, nor shall the component definitions of “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” be deemed to be amended or modified. 
 (c) Minimum Availability. At any time (i) prior to Lender’s receipt of a written notice from Borrower stating that Borrower is electing a Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event in accordance
with the definition thereof or (ii) that a Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event does not exist, after giving effect to any “Borrowing” or the issuance of any “Letter of Credit” under, and as those terms are defined in, the
Senior Financing Documents, Metalico and Borrower shall not have “Availability” (as defined in the Senior Financing Documents) of less than the Specified Minimum Availability Amount for any period of five consecutive Business Days.

 “EBITDA” means, for any period, net income for such period plus (a) without
duplication and to the extent deducted in determining net income for such period, the sum of (i) interest expense for such period, (ii) income tax expense for such period, (iii) any extraordinary non-cash charges for such period and
(iv) any other non-cash charges for such period (but excluding any non-cash charge in respect to an item that was included in net income in a prior period and any non-cash charge that relates to the write-down or write-off of inventory), minus
((b) without duplication and to the extent included in net income, (i) any cash payments made during such period in respect of non-cash charges described in clause (a) (iv) taken in a prior period and (ii) any extraordinary gains
and any non-cash items of income for such period, all calculated for Metalico, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including Borrower) on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 

“Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event” means the occurrence of each of the following events: (i) the Company shall have
maintained a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio greater than or equal to 1.10:1.00 for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, determined for the trailing twelve month period ending on the last day of each such fiscal quarter based upon the
Company’s annual or quarterly consolidated financial statements, as applicable, and (ii) Lender shall have received a reasonably satisfactory written notice, which notice shall be irrevocable, from Borrower within ninety (90) days
following the last day of such period stating that Borrower is electing the existence of a “Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event.” A Fixed Charge Covenant Triggering Event may occur only once during the term of this Agreement.

 “Fixed Charges” means, with reference to any period, without duplication, cash interest expense, plus cash
prepayments and scheduled principal payments on indebtedness made during such period, plus all federal, state and local taxes paid in cash, net of tax refunds received in cash (but in no event shall such net amount be less than zero), plus dividends
or distributions paid in cash, plus capital lease obligation payments, plus cash contributions to any Plan, so long as such cash contributions are not expensed in the income statement, all calculated for the Company on a consolidated basis, it being
understood that any redemption of the convertible notes shall not be used in calculating Fixed Charges. 
 “Interim Minimum
Availability Date” means the earlier to occur of (a) the date that the aggregate principal balance of Metalico’s 7% Convertible Notes due April 2028, together with all interest, fees and other amounts owing thereon, have been reduced
to $0 and (b) April 1, 2014. 
 “Plan” means any employee pension benefit plan (other than a multiemployer
plan) subject to the provisions of Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA, and in respect of which Borrower or any ERISA affiliate is (or, if such plan were terminated, would under
Section 4069 of ERISA be deemed to be) an “employer” as defined in Section 3(5) of ERISA. 
 “Specified
Minimum Availability Amount” shall mean an amount equal to, at any time: (i) for the period from August 7, 2013 through the Specified Minimum Availability Date, $27,000,000; (ii) from and after the Specified Minimum Availability
Date through and including the date immediately prior to the Interim Minimum Availability Date, $18,000,000 and (iii) following the Specified Minimum Availability Date and from and after the Interim Minimum Availability Date, the greater of
(a) the greater of (x) $20,000,000 and (y) 24.00% of the “Borrowing Base” at such time and (b) 20.00% of the “Revolving Commitments” at such time, under and as those terms are defined in, the Senior Financing
Documents. 
 “Specified Minimum Availability Date” shall mean the date on which Lender shall have received reasonably
satisfactory evidence that subordinated secured notes have been issued by Metalico in a principal balance of at least $55,000,000 and the proceeds thereof have been applied to pay down Metalico’s 7% Convertible Notes due April 2028. 

Borrower will cause Metalico to adhere to the financial covenants as herein above stated and shall notify Lender if changed in the Senior
Financing Documents. 
 Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an amendment fee in the amount of $25,000. 

All other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unaltered. The parties have caused this Amendment 4 to be executed by their duly authorized
representatives as of the date first set forth above.
