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

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.

TAXES. By signing this Award Agreement, you recognize and agree that you are solely responsible for the satisfaction of any federal, state, or local taxes that may arise under this Award (including any taxes arising under Sections 409A or 4999 of the Code), and that neither the Company nor any of its employees, officers, directors, or service providers has any right or obligation to provide you with tax planning advice, or to structure the terms of the Plan or any payments to you in a manner that mitigates your tax liability. The Company shall not have any obligation to pay, mitigate, or protect you from any such tax liabilities. Nevertheless, if the Company reasonably determines that your receipt of payments or benefits pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Plan would cause you to incur liability for additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company may in its discretion suspend such payments or benefits until the end of the six-month period following termination of your service with the Company (the "409A Suspension Period"). As soon as reasonably practical after the end of the 409A Suspension Period, the Company shall make a lump sum payment to you, in cash, in an amount equal to any payments and benefits that the Company does not make during the 409A Suspension Period. Thereafter, you shall receive any remaining payments and benefits due pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Plan in accordance with the terms of that Section (as if there had not been any suspension beforehand).
