(“Plan”). 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. (the
“Board”) or a committee thereof which is delegated by the Board the

2. Vesting.
Your Award shall vest and become non-forfeitable on the date immediately
preceding the next Annual Meeting, provided that on such date you are then
serving as an Eligible Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
the date of the next Annual Meeting is delayed by more than thirty
(30) days from the first anniversary of the Grant Date stated above, then
your Award shall become vested and non-forfeitable on such thirtieth day.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, your Award shall become fully vested
and non-forfeitable upon Change in Control or upon termination of your
membership on the Board due to death or upon such other circumstances that the
Board may determine in its sole discretion. If your Award does not become
vested and non-forfeitable pursuant to this Section 2, then the Award
shall be forfeited.
3. Cash
Dividends. If cash dividends are declared and paid by the Company on
outstanding Shares based on a record date on or after the Grant Date stated
above and prior to such time as your Award becomes fully vested in accordance
with Section 2 above, then you shall be entitled to receive an amount
equal to the per share cash dividend otherwise paid by the Company on
outstanding Shares times the number of Restricted Share Units subject to this
Award. Such

UTi Worldwide Inc.

amounts shall be paid to you on or about the
same time that cash dividends are paid on outstanding Shares.
4. Satisfaction
or Failure of Vesting Restrictions. As and to the extent the vesting
restrictions on your Award are satisfied, the Company shall cause certificates
for the Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units to be issued and delivered
to you, with such legends the Company determines to be appropriate, unless you
have irrevocably elected to defer receipt of such Shares pursuant to
Section 6 below. Certificates shall not be delivered to you unless you
have made arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy applicable
tax-withholding obligations.
5. 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 Board may in
its discretion convert your Restricted Share Units into Restricted Shares, on a
one-for-one basis, in full satisfaction of your Restricted Share Unit Award.
You agree to provide a copy of such election to the Company within 5 days
after filing that election with the Internal Revenue Service. Exhibit A
contains a suggested form of Section 83(b) election. Any Restricted Shares
issued to you pursuant to this Section 5 shall bear such legends as the
Company determines to be appropriate and shall remain in the Company’s
possession until all vesting restrictions lapse and certificates are released
to you pursuant to Section 2 of this Award.
6. Deferral
Election. At any time during the calendar year in which you receive
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 in a future calendar year (or for the remainder of any calendar
year in which you make the election, provided the election occurs within the
thirty (30)-day period after you first became an Eligible Director.) A copy of
the form which you may use to make a deferral election is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares which have been subject to a Section
83(b) election are not eligible for deferral.
7. Severability.
Every provision of this Award is intended to be severable, and if any
provision of this Award is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be fully
effective.
8. Notices.
Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given by any
provision of this Award 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.
9. 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 permitted assigns.
Transferability and assignability of this Award are limited as provided for in
Section 14 of the Plan.
