EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) to Employment Agreement is entered into as of May 5, 2008 by
and between UTi, Services, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx
(“Executive”). This Amendment amends the Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) dated
as of February 1, 2000 between the Company and Executive.
WHEREAS, the parties desire to alter the form of Executive’s compensation under the Employment
Agreement, given Executive’s announced intention to retire in the foreseeable future, such that
Executive’s compensation for the remainder of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009 shall be
limited to the option to purchase 26,091 of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value (“Ordinary
Shares”) granted on April 14, 2008; and
WHEREAS, the number of option shares granted to Executive was meant to approximate the value
of his base salary as of January 31, 2008 and was determined by dividing his base salary as of that
date (approximately $256,700) by the closing price of an Ordinary Share on the grant date, and
multiplying the number by 2.

below, the undersigned parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Modification to Section 5(a). The text of Section 5(a) of the Employment Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Executive shall not receive or accrue a salary, but instead shall receive the compensation
described under Section 5(b).”
2. Modification to Section 5(b). The text of Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

share and vesting in twelve equal monthly installments beginning with the month ending May
31, 2008. It is agreed and Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive’s compensation for
the period commencing May 1, 2008 and ending January 31, 2009 shall be limited to (i) the
award of the Option, and (ii) such other benefits, including vacation, reimbursements,
health and welfare benefits and automobile allowance, as may be provided pursuant to
Sections 5(c), 5(d), 5(e) and 5(f) below.”

6. Modifications and Conflicts. Except as expressly modified and supplemented herein, all
the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement remain in full force and effect; provided
however, that in the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Employment Agreement and the
provisions of this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall control.
