2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
----------
LONG TERM AWARD AGREEMENT
----------
AWARD NO. _____
You (the "Participant") are hereby awarded Restricted Share Units
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Long Term Award Agreement
("Award") and in the UTi Worldwide Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term
Incentive Plan ("Plan"), which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A summary of the
Plan appears in its Prospectus, which is attached as Exhibit B. You should
carefully review these documents, and consult with your personal financial
advisor, in order to assure that you fully understand the terms, conditions, and
financial implications of this Award.
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. ("Board") or any Committee appointed by the
Board to administer the Plan, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all
parties, including you and your successors in interest. Capitalized terms are
defined in the Plan or in this Award.
1. SPECIFIC TERMS. This Award of Restricted Share Units shall have, and be
interpreted according to, the following terms, subject to the provisions of the
Plan in all instances:
Name of Participant __________________________________________________
Number of Restricted Share __________________________________________________
Units Subject to Award
Grant Date of Award __________________________________________________
Service Requirements Subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 2 below
for Vesting and to forfeiture pursuant to Section 5 below, your
rights under this Award shall become 100% vested
and non-forfeitable five (5) years after the Grant
Date.
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 (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 60.
3. CHANGE IN CORPORATE CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control that is
a permissible distribution event under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code (as
certified by the
Long Term Award Agreement
UTi Worldwide Inc.
Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Page 2
Committee), you will become partially vested in the Shares subject to 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 between the Grant Date and the date of the Change in Control, and (b) a
denominator equal to 60. 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. The provisions of
this paragraph shall supersede any contrary or inconsistent provisions set forth
in Section 13(c) of the Plan.
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 Restricted Share 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 Restricted Share Unit. Fractional shares will not be issued, and cash
will be paid in lieu thereof. Certificates shall not be delivered to you unless
you have made arrangements satisfactory to the Committee to satisfy
tax-withholding obligations.
5. FAILURE OF VESTING RESTRICTIONS. By executing this Award, you
acknowledge and agree that if your Continuous Service terminates prior to the
date that you satisfy the vesting requirements set forth in Section 1 of this
Award under circumstances that do not result in accelerated vesting pursuant to
Sections 2 or 3 above, you will irrevocably forfeit any and all rights under
this Award, and this Award will immediately become null, void, and
unenforceable.
6. DIVIDENDS. When Shares are issued to you or your duly-authorized
transferee pursuant to the vesting of the Shares underlying your Restricted
Share 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 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 your 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, any
distribution of such Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
9. 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
2
Long Term Award Agreement
UTi Worldwide Inc.
Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Page 3
83(b) election"), the Committee shall convert your Restricted Share Units into
Restricted Shares, on a one-for-one basis, pursuant to the terms of (and in full
satisfaction of) this Award. You agree to provide a copy of such election to the
Company within 10 days after filing that election with the Internal Revenue
Service. Exhibit C contains a suggested form of Section 83(b) election. Any
Restricted Shares issued to you pursuant to this Section 9 shall bear such
legends as the Company determines to be appropriate until all vesting
restrictions lapse and replacement certificates for unrestricted Shares are
issued to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Award.
10. DEFERRAL ELECTION. At any time within the thirty-day period following
the Grant Date of 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, provided that any such election is made at least twelve
months in advance of the date on which you first satisfy the vesting
requirements set forth in Section 1 of this Award. A copy of the form which you
may use to make a deferral election is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
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.
The only exception is that this Award shall be unenforceable if any provision of
Section 11 is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable.
13. NOTICES. Any notice or communication required or permitted by any
provision of this Award to be given 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.
14. 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 assigns.
15. HEADINGS. Headings shall be ignored in interpreting this Award.
16. COUNTERPARTS. This Award may be executed by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute the same
instrument.

17. PLAN GOVERNS. 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 recognize and
agree 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. TAXES. If you are subject to taxation in the United States, by signing
this Award, you acknowledge that you shall be solely responsible for the
satisfaction of any federal, state, or local taxes that may arise with respect
to this Award (including any taxes arising under Sections 409A or 4999 of the
Code), and that neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation
whatsoever to pay such taxes or to prevent you from occurring them. 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 9 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 9 of the
Plan in accordance with the terms of that Section (as if there had not been any
suspension beforehand).
BY YOUR SIGNATURE BELOW, along with the signature of the Company's
representative, you and the Company agree that the Restricted Share Units are
awarded under and governed by the terms and conditions of this Award and the
Plan.
