this Agreement and the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement. Unless and until the RSUs will have vested in the manner set forth in Section 2 hereof, Participant will have no right to payment of any such RSUs.
Prior to actual payment of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company. 
 2. Vesting. 
 (a) Subject to Section 2(b) hereof, [33-1/3% of the RSUs
will vest and become nonforfeitable on each anniversary of the Grant Date], subject to Participant’s continued employment or services through the applicable vesting dates, as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the RSUs
and the rights and benefits under this Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, upon
Participant’s termination of employment with the Company for any or no reason, all then unvested RSUs subject to this Agreement will thereupon be automatically forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without
payment of any consideration by the Company, and Participant, or Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder. 

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, employment with the Company shall include employment with a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

 3. Payment upon Vesting. 
 As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such vesting date,
the Company shall deliver to Participant a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to
the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this award that vest on the applicable vesting date, unless such Restricted Stock Units terminate prior to the given vesting date pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof 

 4. Restrictions on Transfer. 

(a) No RSU or any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or
his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means, whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by
judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided however, that this Section 4(a) shall not prevent
transfers by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the prior
approval of the Board, the Participant may transfer such RSUs (i) to or for the benefit of any spouse, children, parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, grandchildren and any other relatives approved by the Board (collectively, “Approved
Relatives”) or to a trust established solely for the benefit of the Participant and/or Approved Relatives, provided that such RSUs shall remain subject to this Agreement (including without limitation the forfeiture provisions of
Section 2 and the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4 and such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument confirming that such transferee shall be bound by all
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) as part of the sale of all or substantially all of the shares of capital stock of the Company (including pursuant to a merger or consolidation), provided that, in accordance with the
Plan, the securities or other property received by the Participant in connection with such transaction shall remain subject to this Agreement. 
 5. Provisions of the Plan. 
 (a) This Agreement is subject to the
provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement. 
 (b) In the event of any changes
in capitalization of the Company effecting the number or type of outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, the Board shall make such equitable adjustments to the number of RSUs awarded to the
Participant, the shares subject to such RSUs as the Board deems appropriate in its discretion. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Business Combination (as defined in the Plan), the Board may provide that the RSUs be assumed
and all rights of the Company hereunder inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor. 
 6. Withholding Taxes.

to the Participant any federal, state, local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of the RSUs. The Participant shall satisfy such tax withholding obligations by either (i) making a cash payment
to the Company on the date of vesting of the RSUs, in the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation in connection with the vesting of such RSUs, (ii) for U.S. taxpayers at the option of the Participant, satisfy such tax withholding
obligations by transferring to the Company, on each date on which RSUs vest under this Agreement, such number of vested RSUs (or shares of Common Stock) as have a fair market value (calculated using for each such RSU (or share of Common Stock) the
last reported sale price of the common stock of the Company on the NASDAQ Global Market (or such other market or exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed, if it is not then listed on the NASDAQ Global Market) on the vesting
date) equal to the amount of the Company’s tax withholding obligation in connection with the vesting of such RSUs or (iii) such other method as is approved by the Company. To effect such delivery of the vested RSUs or shares of Common
Stock, the Participant hereby authorizes the Company to take any actions necessary or appropriate to transfer ownership of such RSUs or to cancel any certificate(s) representing such Common Stock to the Company; and if the Company or its transfer
agent requires an executed stock power or similar confirmatory instrument in connection with such transfer or cancellation, the Participant shall promptly execute and deliver the same to the Company.

state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents.
The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

7. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Rights of Stockholder; Dividends. No Participant shall, by virtue of any RSU, be entitled to vote in any Company election, receive any dividend in respect of a RSU or exercise any other rights
of a stockholder of the Company. RSUs shall not confer upon any Participant any rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until any such RSUs have vested and shares of Common Stock have been distributed in respect of such RSUs. 

(b) No Rights to Employment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Section 2
hereof is earned only by continuing service as an employee at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired or being granted shares hereunder). The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated
hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the vesting period, for any period, or at all.

enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance with this Section 7(e).

executed by both the Company and the Participant. 
 (j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws. 

(k) Section 409A. The RSUs are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof,
“Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if at any time the Board determines that the RSUs (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Board shall have the right in
its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies
and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Board determines are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above

 ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. 

2010 Incentive Award Plan 
 Non-Statutory Stock Option Terms and Conditions 
 1. Grant of
Option; Option Agreement; Plan. 
 The Non-Statutory Stock Option evidenced by this Option Agreement (as defined below) (the
“Option”) is granted pursuant to the terms of the ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. 2010 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”). The terms and conditions contained herein are incorporated by reference into the attached Non-Statutory
Stock Option Certificate (the “Certificate”), and are intended to be read together with the Certificate as one agreement (the “Option Agreement”). The Option is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished
to the Participant with the Option and is also available from the Company. The grant of the Option is subject to and conditioned upon the Participant’s execution and delivery to the Company of a Non-Competition Agreement in the form attached to
the Certificate as Exhibit A. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Participant” as used herein shall
be deemed to include any person who acquires the right to exercise the Option validly under the terms of the Option Agreement. 

2. Number of Shares; Exercise; Exercise Price. 
 The Participant may exercise the Option for no more than the aggregate Number of Shares set forth in the Certificate. The right to exercise the Option shall be cumulative so that to the extent the Option
is not exercised in any period to the maximum extent permissible under the Option Agreement, it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all shares for which it is vested until the earlier to occur of the Expiration
Date set forth in the Certificate or the termination of the Option under Section 6 hereof. The Participant may purchase less than the Number of Shares covered by the Option Agreement, provided that no exercise of the Option may be for any
fractional share. The Option may not be exercised as to any shares after the Expiration Date set forth in the Certificate. The exercise price to be paid for each share of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the whole or any part of this Option is
the Exercise Price per Share set forth in the Certificate. 
 3. Vesting Schedule. 

If the Participant has at all times since the Date of Grant of the Option (as set forth in the Certificate) served the Company in the capacity of an
employee, officer, director, consultant or advisor (such service being referred to herein as maintaining or being involved in a “Business Relationship” with the Company) through a particular date indicated in the Vesting Schedule set forth
in the Certificate, the Participant may exercise the Option on or after such date for the number of shares of Common Stock indicated in such Vesting Schedule (if any), less the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant
upon exercise of the Option prior thereto. For purposes of this Agreement, the Participant’s Business Relationship with the Company shall include any Business Relationship between the Participant and a subsidiary of the Company. 

4. Method of Exercise. 
 As a condition to exercising the Option, the Participant shall execute and deliver to the Company and cause the Company to receive a written notice of exercise (the “Exercise Notice”) specifying
the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, accompanied by payment of the aggregate exercise price for such shares (and 

 
applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 7 hereof), in cash, by check or in such other form as permitted by the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be in the form attached hereto as
Schedule I or in such other form as is acceptable to the Company. As soon as practicable following receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice and payment of the aggregate exercise price (and applicable withholding taxes), the Company will
deliver to the Participant (or its designee) a certificate representing the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. 
 5. Option Not Transferable. 
 The Option (i) may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered in any manner whatsoever by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and (ii) shall be exercisable, during the
Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. 
 6. Exercise of Option. 

(a) Continuous Business Relationship with the Company Required. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Option
may not be exercised unless the Participant, at the time he or she exercises the Option, is, and has been at all times since the Date of Grant, in a Business Relationship with the Company. 

(b) Termination of Business Relationship with the Company. If the Participant ceases to be involved in a Business Relationship
with the Company for any reason, then, except as provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) below, the right to exercise the Option shall terminate one month after the date of such cessation (but in no event after the Expiration Date), provided
that the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of such cessation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Expiration Date, violates the
non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, non-competition agreement, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the right to exercise the
Option shall terminate immediately. 
 (c) Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability. If the Participant ceases to be
involved in a Business Relationship with the Company due to the death or “disability” (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the Participant prior to the Expiration Date, the Participant’s right to exercise the
Option shall terminate six months after the date of such cessation, provided that the Option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such cessation, and provided further that the
Option shall not be exercisable after the Expiration Date. 
 (d) Discharge for Cause. If the Company terminates the
Participant’s Business Relationship with the Company for Cause (as defined below), the Participant’s right to exercise the Option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such termination. “Cause” shall mean a good
faith finding by the Company of the Participant’s (i) commission of gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of the duties or responsibilities of his or her Business Relationship with the Company,
(ii) failure to perform the duties or responsibilities required pursuant to his or her Business Relationship with the Company, (iii) misappropriation of the assets or business opportunities of the Company or any of its affiliates,

 2 

 
described in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, or (vi) indictment for, conviction of, or entry of a plea of no contest with respect to, any felony. The Participant shall be considered
to have been terminated for Cause if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, within 30 days after the Participant’s resignation or the cessation or termination of the Participant’s Business Relationship with the Company, that
discharge for Cause was warranted. 
 7. Payment of Withholding Taxes. 

It shall be a condition to exercising an Option that, and no shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option unless and until, the
Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of the Option.
