We hereby agree that (i) for the period from and including August 1, 2013

only be required to deliver monthly financial statements so long as UTi is
required to deliver such financial statements to any other creditor of UTi or
any of its subsidiaries, and (iv) UTi shall at all times maintain committed line
of credit facilities or revolving credit facilities (exclusive of facilities
under which South African Subsidiaries can borrow) in an aggregate amount equal

This amendment is subject to the conditions precedent that (i) an amendment in
