the Notice of Termination is given; provided, however, Executive shall be entitled to receive any bonus earned for the previous fiscal year to the extent earned in accordance with its terms, but which remains unpaid as of the Date of Termination.

               (iii) Executive agrees that it is a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations to pay the payments provided for in sub-clause (b) of Section 6(d)(ii) above that Executive execute a general release and waiver prepared by the Company releasing and forever discharging the Company and the other members of the UTi Group and each and all of their respective owners, shareholders, members, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers and other representatives and their employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries and administrators, and all of their related parties from any and all known and unknown claims, charges, complaints, liabilities, controversies, rights, demands, costs, and expenses and containing such other terms and conditions as the Company may reasonably determine, and that such general release become effective and irrevocable within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination. Executive agrees that Executive will not assign or transfer, or purport to assign or transfer, to any person any claim or a portion thereof or any interest therein that Executive might have against the UTi Group.

          (e) Termination of Employment Following a Change of Control.

               (i) If within twelve (12) months following a “Change of Control of UTi Worldwide” (as defined below), (a) the Company terminates Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Executive’s death or disability, or (b) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2 above, then the Company shall be obligated to pay to Executive or Executive’s estate the payments and benefits set forth in Section 6(e)(v).

               (ii) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control of UTi Worldwide” shall be defined, and be deemed to have occurred, as set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein.

               (iii) In addition, if within twelve (12) months following a “Change of Control of UTi Worldwide,” Executive has “Good Reason” (as defined below) to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company, and Executive terminates Executive’s employment as provided for in this Section 6(e)(iii), then the Company shall be obligated to pay to Executive or Executive’s estate the payments and benefits set forth in Section 6(e)(v) below. In order for Executive to be able to terminate Executive’s employment pursuant to this Section 6(e)(iii), Executive must deliver to the Company a Notice of Termination not more than ten (10) business days following the conclusion of the periods set forth in subclauses (A) and (B) of Section 6(e)(iv) below, and the Company shall have either proceeded with the involuntary relocation under subclause (A) or failed to take the actions necessary to cure the material adverse reduction under subclause (B). Executive’s Notice of Termination shall set forth a Date of Termination, which date shall be one (1) month after the date that the Notice of Termination is delivered by Executive to the Company.

               (iv) For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall have “Good Reason” to terminate Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 6(e)(iii) if:

                    (A) Without Executive’s written consent, the Company relocates Executive to a facility or location that is outside an area within a radius of two hundred fifty (250) miles from the offices where Executive was based just prior to such Change of Control of UTi Worldwide, and Executive gives the Company written notice of Executive’s objection to such relocation within ten (10) business days of being informed in writing of such relocation, and, following the 30-day period after it receives such notice, the Company still proceeds with the involuntary relocation of Executive; or

                    (B) Without Executive’s written consent, the Company reduces Executive’s duties and responsibilities such that it results in a material adverse reduction in Executive’s duties, authority or responsibilities, Executive gives the Company written notice of Executive’s objection to such reduction within ten (10) business days of being informed of such reduction, and the Company fails to cure such material adverse reduction within thirty (30) days after written notice specifying the particular acts objected to and the specific cure requested by Executive is delivered to the Company by Executive.

For purposes of clarity, (1) a mere change in title shall not constitute a “material adverse reduction” in Executive’s duties, authority or responsibilities under Section 6(e)(iv)(B) above and (2) Executive shall have “Good Reason” under Section 6(e)(iv)(B) above if UTi Worldwide no longer has its securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

               (v) If Executive’s employment is terminated under the provisions contained in this Section 6(e), neither the Company nor the UTi Group shall have any further obligation or liability to Executive except that Executive shall be entitled to receive (a) the Accrued Benefits, (b) payments equal to twenty-four (24) months of Executive’s then current monthly salary as set forth in Section 5(a), and (c) a payment equal to (1) the amount of the target performance bonus established for Executive for the fiscal year during which the Date of Termination occurs (but only to the extent such bonus remains unpaid at the time of Executive’s termination), multiplied by (2) 25%, if the Date of Termination occurs during the Company’s first fiscal quarter, 50% if the Date of Termination occurs during the Company’s second fiscal quarter, 75% if the Date of Termination occurs during the Company’s third fiscal quarter, and 100% if the Date of Termination during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter, subject in each case to the condition set forth in Section 6(e)(vi) below. Subject to Section 23 below, such payments shall be payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments commencing within sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination.

               (vi) Executive agrees that it is a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations to pay the payments provided for in sub-clauses (b) and (c) of Section 6(e)(v) above that Executive execute a general release and waiver prepared by the Company releasing and forever discharging the Company and the other members of the UTi Group and each and all of their respective owners, shareholders, members, predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, directors, officers and other representatives and their employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries and administrators, and all of their related parties from any and all known and unknown claims, charges, complaints, liabilities, controversies, rights, demands, costs, and expenses (other than the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 6(e)(v)) and containing such other terms and conditions as the Company may reasonably determine, and that such general release become effective and irrevocable within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination. Executive

agrees that Executive will not assign or transfer, or purport to assign or transfer, to any person any claim or a portion thereof or any interest therein that Executive might have against the UTi Group.

          (f) Resignation by Executive. Executive shall be entitled to terminate Executive’s employment and the Employment Period at any time, for any or no reason, by delivering to the Company a Notice of Termination not less than six (6) months prior to the Date of Termination set forth therein. During the period from the Notice of Termination until the Date of Termination, Employee acknowledges that Employee shall remain employed by the Company and shall continue to be bound by all applicable employment procedures, policies, obligations and duties.

          (g) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company or by Executive (other than termination pursuant to Section 6(b) above) shall be communicated by a written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a notice which (i) indicates the termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, and (ii) specifies the Date of Termination.

          (h) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean the date of death, the date of the determination of a disability or the employment termination date specified in the Notice of Termination, or such other date on which the Executive’s employment terminates, as the case may be.

     7. Exclusivity of Payments. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or other benefits from the Company, UTi Worldwide or any other member of the UTi Group, other than the payments and benefits expressly provided in Section 6 of this Agreement. Executive’s right to receive payments or benefits under this Agreement upon termination of employment will cease if Executive breaches any provision of Sections 8 or 9 below.

     8. Proprietary Information.

          (a) Definition.

          (b) Nondisclosure. During the term of this Agreement and thereafter, Executive will not, without the prior express written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of UTi Worldwide, disclose or make any use of any Proprietary Information except as may be required in the course of the performance of Executive’s services under this Agreement.

          (c) Agreement Not to Solicit Employees and Customers. To protect the Proprietary Information and trade secrets of the UTi Group, Executive agrees, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after termination of this Agreement, not to, directly or indirectly, either on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, (i) to attempt to persuade, induce or solicit or employ any person who is an employee of the UTi Group or otherwise encourage such employee to cease or terminate his or her employment with the UTi Group or (ii) use or otherwise disclose any Proprietary Information in any attempt to persuade any customer of the UTi Group to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which any customer of the UTi Group has customarily done or contemplates doing with the UTi Group or to expand its business with a competitor of the UTi Group.

          (d) Reasonableness. Executive agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 8 are reasonable and necessary to protect the Proprietary Information of the UTi Group and that the covenants and agreements by Executive contained in this Section 8 shall be in addition to any other agreements and covenants Executive may have agreed to in any other employee proprietary information, confidentiality, non-disclosure or other similar agreement and that this Section 8 shall not be deemed to limit such other covenants and agreements, all of which shall continue to survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms. A breach of the terms and covenants of such other covenants and agreements shall be deemed to be a breach of the provisions of this Section 8 and this Agreement.

     9. Protection of Property. All records, files, manuals, documents, specifications, lists of customers, forms, materials, supplies, computer programs and other materials furnished to the Executive by the UTi Group, used on its behalf or generated or obtained during the course of the performance of the Executive’s services hereunder, shall at all times remain the property of the Company. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the UTi Group, or at any other time upon request by the Company or any other member of the UTi Group, Executive shall immediately deliver to the UTi Group, or its authorized representative, all such property, including all copies, remaining in Executive’s possession or control.

to all other rights and remedies they may have, may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief to the extent authorized by law in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions thereof and Executive waives any requirement that the Company or any other member of the UTi Group post a bond or other surety.

     11. Arbitration. The parties hereto acknowledge that it is in their best interests to facilitate the informal resolution of any disputes arising out of this Agreement or otherwise by mutual cooperation and without resorting to litigation. As a result, if either party has a legally recognized claim or dispute arising hereunder or otherwise, including but not limited to any claim for breach of any contract or covenant (express or implied), any dispute regarding Executive’s termination of employment, tort claims, claims for harassment or discrimination (including, but not limited to, race, sex, religion, national origin, age, handicap or disability), claims for compensation or benefits (except where a benefit plan or pension plan or insurance policy specifies a different claims procedure) and claims for violation of public policy or, any federal, state or other governmental law, statute, regulation or ordinance (except for claims involving workers’ compensation benefits), and the parties are unable to reach agreement among themselves within thirty (30) days, then the parties agree to submit the dispute to JAMS for binding arbitration in accordance with its then-current employment rules and applicable law. If the parties are unable to agree to an arbitrator, JAMS will provide the names of seven potential arbitrators, giving each party the opportunity to strike three names. The remaining arbitrator will serve as the arbitration panel. The parties agree that the arbitration must be initiated within the time period of the statute of limitations applicable to the claim(s) if the claim(s) had been filed in Court. Arbitration may be initiated by the aggrieved party by sending written notice of an intent to arbitrate by registered certified mail to all parties and to JAMS. The notice must contain a description of the dispute, the amount involved and the remedies sought. All fees and expenses of the arbitrator will be borne by the Company. Each party will pay for the fees and expenses of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of proofs and post-hearing briefs, unless the party prevails on a claim for which attorneys’ fees are recoverable by statute, in which case the arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party.

If a particular action is required to be taken, or a particular notice is required to be given, by the Company, and such action or notice is in fact taken by, or such notice is in fact given by, UTi Worldwide or another member of the UTi Group, then such action or notice shall be deemed to have been taken or given by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Executive agrees that Executive is an employee only of the Company (or it successors or assigns, if applicable) and not an employee of any other entity or member of the UTi Group. It is agreed that the Company may assign Executive to another member of the UTi Group for payroll purposes.

     14. Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, or if sent by overnight, commercial air courier service, on the second business day after being delivered to the air courier service, or if mailed, on the fifth day after being sent by first class, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

Such communications may also be delivered to such other address as any party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof.

     15. Section 280G. To the extent that Section 280G and any related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), are applicable, Executive’s payments and benefits under this Agreement and all other arrangements, plans or programs (collectively, the “Payments”) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the maximum amount that may be paid to Executive without triggering golden parachute penalties under Section 280G and related provisions of the Code, as amended, as determined in good faith by the Company’s independent auditors. If any Payments must be cut back to avoid triggering such penalties, they shall be cut back in the following order (unless cutting Payments back in such order would result in the imposition on the Executive of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code (or similar state or local law) and cutting the Payments back in another order would not, in which case benefits shall instead be cut back in such other order): First all Payments that do not constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (in the order designated by the Executive). Second, all Payments that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that were granted to the Executive in the 12-month period of time preceding the applicable change in control, in the order such benefits were granted to the Executive. Third, all remaining Payments shall be reduced pro-rata. Executive and the Company agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of golden parachute penalties on payments or benefits Executive receives.

     16. Resignation from Positions. Upon Executive’s cessation of employment with the Company for any reason, Executive agrees that Executive shall be deemed to have resigned as an officer and as a director from every entity and company of the UTi Group on which Executive is then serving as an officer or director, and any other entity or company on which Executive is then serving as a director or officer at the request of the Company or any other member of the UTi Group, in each case effective as of the Date of Termination. In addition, if (a) Executive gives the Company notice that either Executive desires to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 2 above or that Executive desires to terminate Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 6(f) above, or (b) the Company gives notice to Executive that the Company desires to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 2 above or that the

Company desires to terminate Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 6(d) above, then in each case Executive agrees that at the request of either the Company or UTi Worldwide that Executive shall promptly resign, as requested by either the Company or UTi Worldwide, as an officer or director from every entity and company of the UTi Group on which Executive is then serving as an officer or director, and any other entity or company on which Executive is then serving as a director or officer at the request of the Company or UTi Worldwide. Executive hereby grants the corporate secretary of UTi Worldwide an irrevocable power of attorney to execute on behalf of Executive all such resignations and documents and instruments and take all such other actions as reasonably necessary to carry out the intention of this Section.

No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of California or if Executive is not employed in California, the jurisdiction where Executive is employed by the Company.

     19. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Neither the Company nor any of its employees, officers, directors, or service providers shall have any obligation whatsoever to pay such taxes, to prevent Executive from incurring them, or to mitigate or protect Executive from any such tax liabilities. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause this Agreement to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code will have no force and effect until amended to comply therewith (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent Executive is entitled to any payments under this Agreement that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code on account of Executive’s termination of employment, such amounts shall not be paid until Executive has incurred a “separation from service” from Employer within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. If, at the time of Executive’s termination of employment under this Agreement, Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, any payments that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code on account of Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (including any amounts payable pursuant to the preceding sentence) will not be paid until after the end of the sixth calendar month beginning after Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (the “409A Suspension Period”). Within 14 calendar days after the end of the 409A Suspension Period, Executive 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 Company during that period. Thereafter, Executive shall receive any remaining benefits as if there had not been an earlier delay. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

EXHIBIT A TO AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

For purposes of the attached Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, a “Change of Control of UTi Worldwide” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

          (ii) any “person,” “entity” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), other than UTi Worldwide or any majority owned subsidiary of UTi Worldwide, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of UTi Worldwide representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of UTi Worldwide’s then outstanding securities that have the right to vote in the election of directors generally; provided, however, that the following shall not constitute a “Change of Control of UTi Worldwide” for purposes of this subclause (ii):

               (a) any acquisition directly from UTi Worldwide (excluding any acquisition resulting from the exercise of a conversion or exchange privilege in respect of outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities); or

               (b) any acquisition by an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by UTi Worldwide or any entity controlled by UTi Worldwide;

          (iii) during any period of two consecutive years during the term of this Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of UTi Worldwide cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election of each director who was not a director at the beginning of such period has been approved in advance by directors representing at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors at the beginning of the period; or

          (iv) UTi Worldwide is dissolved or liquidated or a merger, reorganization, or consolidation involving UTi Worldwide is closed or consummated, other than a merger, reorganization, or consolidation in which holders of the combined voting power of UTi Worldwide’s then outstanding securities that have the right to vote in the election of directors generally immediately prior to such transaction own, either directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the securities entitled to vote in the election of directors generally of the merged, reorganized or consolidated entity (or its parent company) immediately following such transaction.
