and conditions set forth in this Long Term Award Agreement (“Award”) and in the UTi
Worldwide Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A. A summary of the Plan appears in its Prospectus, which is
attached as Exhibit B. You should carefully review these documents, and consult with your
personal legal and financial advisors, in order to assure that you fully understand the terms,
conditions, and financial implications of this Award.
By executing this Award, you agree to be bound by all of the Plan’s terms and conditions as if
they had been set out verbatim in this Award. In addition, you recognize and agree that all
determinations, interpretations, or other actions respecting the Plan and this Award will be made
by the Board of Directors of UTi Worldwide Inc. (“Board”) or any Committee appointed by the
Board to administer the Plan, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties, including
you and your successors in interest. Capitalized terms are defined in the Plan or in this Award.

unvested Shares in which your interest will vest will be equal to the lesser of (a) the total
number of unvested Shares subject to this Award, or (b) 20% of the total number of Shares subject
to this Award.
3. Accelerated Vesting upon Termination without Cause or upon a Change in Control.
(a) In the event your employment is terminated without Cause at any time, you will become
partially vested in the unvested Shares subject to this Award (and will forfeit all other rights
under this Award). The number of unvested Shares in which your interest will vest will be equal to
the lesser of (a) the total number of unvested Shares subject to this Award, or (b) 20% of the
total number of Shares subject to this Award. For purposes of this Section 3(a), if you have
entered into an employment agreement with the Company (which for purposes of Section 3(a) and
Section 3(b) of this Award includes subsidiaries of the Company) that contains a definition of
termination for “Cause”, then the term “Cause” for purposes of this Award shall have the same
meaning set forth in your employment agreement with the Company. If you have not entered into such
an agreement, the term “Cause” in this Award shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
(b) In the event you experience an Involuntary Termination in connection with, or within 12
months following consummation of, a Change in Control, you will become fully vested in all of the
Shares subject to this Award. If you have entered into an employment agreement with the Company
and such employment agreement entitles you to receive additional severance payments upon a
termination by you of your employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in such employment agreement)
following a Change in Control, then for purposes of this Section 3(b) the term “Involuntary
Termination” shall be deemed to include your ability to terminate for “Good Reason” as defined in
your employment agreement. To the extent there is a conflict between any of the provisions
contained in the definition of the term “Good Reason” in your employment agreement and the term
“Involuntary Termination” as defined in the Plan, then the provisions in the definition of the term
“Good Reason” contained in your employment agreement shall prevail and the definition of the term
“Involuntary Termination” for purposes of this Award shall be deemed to be modified and construed
so that such provisions shall be consistent with the prevailing provisions found in the term “Good
Reason” in your employment agreement. If you have not entered into an employment agreement with
the Company that entitles you to receive additional severance payments upon a termination by you of
your employment for “Good Reason” following a Change in Control, then the term “Involuntary
Termination” for purposes of this Award shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. The
provisions of this Section 3(b) shall supersede any contrary or inconsistent provisions set forth
in Section 13(c) of the Plan.
4. Satisfaction of Vesting Restrictions. No Shares will be issued before you complete
the requirements that are necessary for you to vest in the Shares underlying your Restricted Share
Units. As soon as practicable after the date on which your Award vests in whole or in part, but no
later than the 15th day of the third month following the calendar year in which vesting occurs, the
Company will issue to you or your duly-authorized transferee, free from vesting restrictions (but
subject to such legends as the Company determines to be appropriate), one Share for each vested
Restricted Share Unit, less the number of Shares cancelled by the Company in connection with the
payment of withholding taxes as provided for in Section 18 below. Fractional

shares will not be issued, and cash will be paid in lieu thereof. Certificates shall not be
delivered to you unless you have made arrangements satisfactory to the Committee to satisfy
tax-withholding obligations.
5. Failure of Vesting Restrictions. By executing this Award, you acknowledge and
agree that if your Continuous Service terminates prior to the date that you satisfy the vesting
requirements for unvested Shares set forth in Section 1 of this Award (and subject to any
accelerated vesting pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 above), you will irrevocably forfeit any and all
rights to unvested Shares under this Award, and this Award with respect to such unvested Shares
will immediately become null, void, and unenforceable.
6. Dividends. When Shares are issued to you or your duly-authorized transferee
pursuant to the vesting of the Shares underlying your Restricted Share Units you or your
duly-authorized transferee shall also be entitled to receive, with respect to each Share issued,
the “Dividend Equivalents” applicable to such Share. The term “Dividend Equivalents” shall mean,
with respect to each Share so issued and with respect to each Share cancelled by the Company in
connection with the payment of withholding taxes as provided in Section 18 below, an amount equal
to any cash dividends (plus simple interest at a rate of five percent per annum, or such other
reasonable rate as the Committee may determine) and a number of Shares equal to any stock
dividends, which were declared and paid to the holders of Shares between the Grant Date and the
date such Share is issued or cancelled.
7. Voting. With respect to the Shares to be issued or held by you pursuant to this
Award, you may not exercise voting rights until you become the record owner of the Shares.
8. Investment Purposes. By executing this Award, you represent and warrant to the
Company that any Shares issued to you pursuant to this Award will be for investment for your own
account and not with a view to, for resale in connection with, or with an intent of participating
directly or indirectly in, any distribution of such Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
9. Section 83(b) Election Notice. If you provide the Company with prior written
notice of your intention to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, with respect to the Shares underlying your Restricted Share Units (a “Section
83(b) election”), the Committee shall convert your Restricted Share Units into Restricted
Shares, on a one-for-one basis, pursuant to the terms of (and in full satisfaction of) this Award.
You agree to provide a copy of such election to the Company within 10 days after filing that
election with the Internal Revenue Service. Exhibit C contains a suggested form of Section
83(b) election. If you make a Section 83(b) election, then you will be responsible for the
satisfaction of all taxes that arise as a result of the election and you acknowledge that none of
your Shares subject to this Award have vested as of the time of such Section 83(b) election. Any
Restricted Shares issued to you pursuant to this Section 9 shall bear such legends as the Company
determines to be appropriate until all vesting restrictions lapse and replacement certificates for
unrestricted Shares are issued to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Award.

10. Deferral Election. At any time within the thirty-day period following the Grant
Date of this Award, you may irrevocably elect to defer the receipt of all or a percentage of the
Shares that would otherwise be issued to you on the vesting of this Award, provided that any such
election is made at least twelve months in advance of the date on which you first satisfy the
vesting requirements set forth in Section 1 of this Award. A copy of the form which you may use to
make a deferral election is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Shares which have been subject to a Section 83(b) election are not eligible for deferral.
11. Not a Contract of Employment. By executing this Award, you acknowledge and agree
that (i) any person who is terminated before full vesting of an award, such as the one granted to
you by this Award, could claim that he or she was terminated to preclude vesting; (ii) you promise
never to make such a claim; (iii) nothing in this Award or the Plan confers on you any right to
continue an employment, service or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it affect in
any way your right or the Company’s right to terminate your employment, service, or consulting
relationship at any time, with or without Cause; and (iv) the Company would not have granted this
Award to you but for these acknowledgements and agreements.
12. Severability. Subject to one exception, every provision of this Award and the
Plan is intended to be severable, and if any provision of the Plan or this Award is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue
to be fully effective. The only exception is that this Award shall be unenforceable if any
provision of Section 11 is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable.
13. Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted by any provision of
this Award to be given to you shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to you at the last address that the Company had
for you on its records. Each party may, from time to time, by notice to the other party hereto,
specify a new address for delivery of notices relating to this Award. Any such notice shall be
deemed to be given as of the date such notice is personally delivered or properly mailed.
14. Binding Effect. Every provision of this Award shall be binding on and inure to
the benefit the parties’ respective heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors,
transferees, and assigns.
15. Headings. Headings shall be ignored in interpreting this Award.
16. Counterparts. This Award may be executed by the parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute the same instrument.
17. Plan Governs. By signing this Award, you acknowledge that you have received a
copy of the Plan and that your Award is subject to all the provisions contained in the Plan, the
provisions of which are made a part of this Award and your Award is subject to all interpretations,
amendments, rules and regulations which from time to time may be promulgated and adopted pursuant
to the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Award and those of the
Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control. In addition, you recognize and agree that all

determinations, interpretations or other actions respecting the Plan and this Award may be
made by the Board or the Committee in their sole and absolute discretion, and that such
determinations, interpretations or other actions are (unless arbitrary and capricious) final,
conclusive and binding upon all parties, including you, your heirs, and representatives.
18. Taxes. By signing this Award, you acknowledge that you shall be solely
responsible for the satisfaction of any federal, state, province or local taxes that may arise with
respect to this Award (including if you are subject to taxation in the United States, any taxes
arising under Sections 409A or 4999 of the Code, except to the extent otherwise specifically
provided in a written agreement with the Company). If the Company is obligated to withhold an
amount on account of any federal, state, province or local tax imposed as a result of the grant of
the Restricted Share Units or as a result of the issuance of the underlying Shares (the date upon
which the Company becomes so obligated shall be referred to herein as the “Withholding Date”), then
you shall pay to the Company the minimum aggregate amount that the Company is obligated to withhold
as such amount shall be determined by the Company in its discretion (the “Minimum Withholding
Liability”), which payment shall be made by the automatic cancellation by the Company of a number
of vested Shares subject to this Award, the aggregate Fair Market Value of which is equal to the
Minimum Withholding Liability (such cancelled vested Shares to be valued on the basis of the
aggregate Fair Market Value thereof on the Withholding Date, plus the value on the Withholding Date
of the Dividend Equivalents associated with such Shares); provided that the number of vested Shares
so cancelled will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share sufficient to satisfy the Minimum
Withholding Liability, with cash being paid to you in an amount equal to the amount by which the
Fair Market Value of such cancelled Shares and associated Dividend Equivalents exceeds the Minimum
Withholding Liability. If the Fair Market Value of the vested Shares subject to this Award is less
than the Minimum Withholding Liability, then you shall pay to the Company in cash the difference
between the Minimum Withholding Liability and the Fair Market Value of the vested Shares subject to
this Award, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event you make a Section 83(b) election,
then you shall promptly pay in cash the Minimum Withholding Liability to the Company. Neither the
Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation whatsoever to pay such taxes, to prevent you
from incurring them, or to mitigate or protect you from any such tax liabilities. Nevertheless, if
your payments or benefits pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan and Section 10 of this Award as a
result of your termination of Continuous Service constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A, payment of such amounts shall not commence until you incur a
Separation from Service. If at the time of your Separation from Service, you are a “specified
employee” (under Code Section 409A), any amount that constitutes “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A that becomes payable to you on account of
your Separation from Service (including any amounts payable pursuant to the preceding sentence)
will not be paid until after the end of the sixth calendar month beginning after your Separation
from Service (the “409A Suspension Period”). Within 14 calendar days after the end of the 409A
Suspension Period, you shall be paid a lump sum payment in cash equal to any payments delayed
because of the preceding sentence, together with interest on them for the period of delay at a rate
not less than the average prime interest rate published in the Wall Street Journal on any day
chosen by the Board during that period. Thereafter, you shall receive any remaining benefits as if
there had not been an earlier delay.

Company will have fully honored and discharged its obligations under this Agreement, the Award
Agreement, and the Plan if the Company distributes my Account in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

after receipt of the Plan document and the opportunity to review and discuss the Plan with my
personal advisors. I understand that all distributions will be subject to applicable withholdings
taxes. I understand that this deferral and distribution election only applies to the Award
Agreement with the grant date that appears on the first page of this Deferral and Distribution
Election and can only be superseded by a subsequent distribution election in accordance with the
terms of this Deferral and Distribution Election and provisions of the Plan. I further understand
that the Company reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan. I understand that
while the Plan is intended to provide tax deferral, the Plan does not constitute a guarantee that
the intended tax results will be achieved. I acknowledge that I am solely responsible for the
