Air and Ocean Freight Forwarding. As a freight forwarder, we conduct business as an indirect carrier for our customers or occasionally as an authorized agent for an airline or ocean carrier. We typically act as an indirect carrier with respect to shipments of freight unless the volume of freight to be shipped over a particular route is not large enough to warrant consolidating such freight with other shipments. In such situations, we usually forward the freight as an agent of the direct carrier. Except for a domestic delivery service which includes forwarding shipments by air or expedited ground transportation within South Africa, we primarily handle international shipments and do not provide for domestic shipments unless they occur as part of an international shipment. We consider our domestic delivery service within South Africa part of our airfreight services

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 80% 80% of target minimum 100% 100% of target target 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%.
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 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.

If the unvested portion of this Award is assumed or substituted by a Successor Corporation in a Change in Control, 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 you shall not become fully vested in this Award unless the Committee provides you with written notice that the Committee has decided, 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.

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. 3 Performance Enhancement Award UTi Worldwide Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan Page 4 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.

A copy of the form which you may use to make a deferral election is attached hereto as Exhibit E. 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.

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 recognizes and agrees that all determinations, interpretations or other actions respecting the Plan may be made by a majority of the Board or of 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.

Thereafter, you shall receive any remaining payments and benefits due pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan in accordance with the terms of that Section (as if there had not been any suspension beforehand).
