Award No. __

      You (the “Participant”) are hereby awarded Restricted Share Units subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Restricted Share Unit Award
Agreement (“Award”) and in the UTi Worldwide Inc. 2004 Non-Employee Directors
Share Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (“Plan”). 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.
(the “Board”) or a committee thereof which is delegated by the Board the
authority 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. Certain terms of your Restricted Share Units are as
follows:

     
Name of Participant
   
 
   
Number of Restricted Share
   
Units Subject to Award
   
 
   
Grant Date
   

      2. Vesting. Your Award shall vest and become non-forfeitable on the date
immediately preceding the next Annual Meeting, provided that on such date you
are then serving as an Eligible Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event the date of the next Annual Meeting is delayed by more than thirty
(30) days from the first anniversary of the Grant Date stated above, then your
Award shall become vested and non-forfeitable on such thirtieth day.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, your Award shall become fully vested
and non-forfeitable upon Change in Control or upon termination of your
membership on the Board due to death or upon such other circumstances that the
Board may determine in its sole discretion. If your Award does not become vested
and non-forfeitable pursuant to this Section 2, then the Award shall be
forfeited.

      3. Cash Dividends. If cash dividends are declared and paid by the Company
on outstanding Shares based on a record date on or after the Grant Date stated
above and prior to such time as your Award becomes fully vested in accordance
with Section 2 above, then you shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to
the per share cash dividend otherwise paid by the Company on outstanding Shares
times the number of Restricted Share Units subject to this Award. Such

amounts shall be paid to you on or about the same time that cash dividends are
paid on outstanding Shares.

      4. Satisfaction or Failure of Vesting Restrictions. As and to the extent
the vesting restrictions on your Award are satisfied, the Company shall cause
certificates for the Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units to be issued
and delivered to you, with such legends the Company determines to be
appropriate, unless you have irrevocably elected to defer receipt of such Shares
pursuant to Section 6 below. Certificates shall not be delivered to you unless
you have made arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy applicable
tax-withholding obligations.

      5. 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 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. You
agree to provide a copy of such election to the Company within 5 days after
filing that election with the Internal Revenue Service. Exhibit A contains a
suggested form of Section 83(b) election. Any Restricted Shares issued to you
pursuant to this Section 5 shall bear such legends as the Company determines to
be appropriate and shall remain in the Company’s possession until all vesting
restrictions lapse and certificates are released to you pursuant to Section 2 of
this Award.

      6. Deferral Election. At any time during the calendar year in which you
receive 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 in a future calendar year (or for the remainder of any calendar year
in which you make the election, provided the election occurs within the thirty
(30)-day period after you first became an Eligible Director.) A copy of the form
which you may use to make a deferral election is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares which have been subject to a Section 83(b)
election are not eligible for deferral.

      7. Severability. Every provision of this Award is intended to be
severable, and if any provision of this Award is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall
continue to be fully effective.

      8. Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given
by any provision of this Award 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.

      9. 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 permitted assigns. Transferability
and assignability of this Award are limited as provided for in Section 14 of the
Plan.
