                              AWARD NO. ___________

          You (the "Participant") are hereby awarded Performance Units subject

Agreement (the "Award") and in the UTi Worldwide Inc. 2004 Long-Term Incentive
Plan ("Plan"). A copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A summary of
the Plan appears in its Prospectus, which is attached as Exhibit B. This Award
is conditioned on your execution of this Award and the Non-Solicitation

          By executing these documents, you are agreeing to be bound irrevocably
by all of their terms and conditions as if they had been set out verbatim in

including you and your successors in interest. Capitalized terms are defined in
the Plan or in this Award.

     1. SPECIFIC TERMS OF YOUR AWARD. Your Award is being granted pursuant to
Article 10(b) of the Plan as a "Performance Compensation Award," and shall have
the following terms; subject, if you are a "covered employee" within the meaning
of Section 162(m) of the Code for a taxable year of the Company in which a
Performance Period ends, to the Committee's interpretation of the Plan and this

appropriate in order for this Award to satisfy the requirements for

Code, and associated tax regulations and rulings:

                                      Period.>

Requirements for Vesting               Subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 2 below,
                                       as of the last day of the Performance Period, you
                                      shall become vested, with respect to the Target Number
                                      of Performance Units subject to this Award, in the
                                       following percentage that corresponds to your
                                      achievement of the specified Performance Goals:

                                      % Vesting    Performance Range    Performance Level
                                       ---------    -----------------    -----------------
                                           0%       < 80% of target       Below minimum

                                         120%        120% of target       Maximum

                                      In its sole and absolute discretion, the Committee
                                       shall (i) determine the Performance Level and
                                      Performance Range, and (ii) may adjust your vesting
                                      percentage to take into account intermediate results
                                       between Performance Levels, provided that your vesting
                                      percentage shall under no event exceed 120%.
</TABLE>

     If the Performance Goals for any Performance Period are not satisfied, the
Committee shall have the sole and absolute discretion, to be exercised only in
writing, with respect to all or some of the Shares allocated to that Performance
Period, either (i) to add those Shares to the Shares allocated to one or more
future Performance Periods, or (ii) to determine that the Performance Goals have
been satisfied with respect to such Shares, but only if you are not a "covered
employee" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code for a taxable year of
the Company in which a Performance Period ends.

     2. ACCELERATED VESTING. If your Continuous Service ends due to your death
or because you become Disabled, you will become partially vested in the Shares
subject to this Award, provided that the Compensation Committee has determined
that performance is on track to meet the Performance Goals (and will forfeit all
other rights under this Award). The number of Shares in which your interest
vests will be determined by multiplying the total number of Shares subject to
this Award by a fraction having (a) a numerator equal to the number of full
months of your Continuous Service after the Grant Date, and (b) a denominator
equal to 36.

     3. CHANGE IN CORPORATE CONTROL. The provisions of this paragraph shall
supersede any contrary or inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 13 of the
Plan. In the event of a Change in Control that is a permissible distribution
event under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) (as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion), you will become partially vested in the Shares subject to this
Award, to the extent allowable under Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of
the Code and provided that the Compensation Committee of the Board has
determined that the

organization is on track to meet the Performance Goals. The number of Shares in
which your interest vests will be determined by multiplying the total number of
Shares subject to this Award by a fraction having (a) a numerator equal to the
number of full months of your Continuous Service between the Grant Date and the
date of the Change in Control, and (b) a denominator equal to 36. In addition,
if the unvested portion of this Award is assumed or substituted by a Successor
Corporation in a Change in Control that is a permissible distribution event
under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) (as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion), and your employment is Involuntarily Terminated by the Successor
Corporation in connection with, or within 12 months following consummation of,
the Change in Control, then the number of remaining Shares in which your
interest vests shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Shares
subject to this Award by a fraction having (a) a numerator equal to the lesser
of 12 and the number of months between the date of such termination and the
third anniversary of the Grant Date, and (b) a denominator equal to 36;
provided, however, that the Committee may decide, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to accelerate such vesting.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee notifies you in writing
within 25 months after a Change in Control that you have violated the
Non-Solicitation Agreement attached as Exhibit C, the Company shall have the
right to coincidentally redeem any Shares in which your rights vested pursuant
to Section 2 hereof as a result of your retirement. The price payable to redeem
such Shares will be U.S. $1.00 per Share, and the Company shall enclose it with
the written notice referenced in the preceding sentence. By executing this
Agreement, you agree to execute any document that the Company considers
reasonably necessary or proper to consummate this redemption.

     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 Performance Units. As soon as practicable after the date on
which your Award vests in whole or in part, 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 Performance Unit. Fractional shares will not be issued, and cash will be
paid in lieu thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not issue
Share certificates to you unless you have made arrangements satisfactory to the
Committee to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations.

     5. FAILURE OF VESTING RESTRICTIONS. By executing this Award, you
acknowledge and agree that:

     (a)   if your Continuous Service terminates under circumstances that do not
          result in accelerated vesting pursuant to Section 2 above, you will
          irrevocably forfeit any and all rights under this Award, and this
          Award will immediately become null, void, and unenforceable; and

     (b)   if the Committee determines that the Performance Goals for any
           Performance Period have not been fully satisfied, you will irrevocably
          forfeit any and all rights with respect to the Performance Units
          attributable to that Performance Period.

     6. DIVIDENDS. When Shares are issued to you or your duly-authorized
transferee pursuant to the vesting of the Shares underlying your Performance
Units, you or your duly-

authorized transferee shall also be entitled to receive, with respect to each
Share issued, 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.

     7. VOTING. With respect to the Shares to be issued and 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,
