	 	Re:	Retention Bonus and Executive Severance Agreement 

 Dear Scott: 
 To incentivize you to remain with and committed to the success of
ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, the Company would like to (i) offer you a retention bonus subject to the conditions forth below in this letter agreement (this
“Agreement”), (ii) provide an award of stock options, and (iii) amend your Executive Severance Agreement dated August 29, 2011, as amended by the first amendment thereto (the “Severance Agreement”) as
provided in attached First Amendment thereto. 
 (a) Retention Bonus. Subject to the conditions set forth below,
you will be eligible to receive a cash bonus in an amount equal to $262,500 (the “Retention Bonus”) payable in two installments of $105,000 on December 31, 2012 and $157,500 on June 30, 2013 (each a “Payment
Date”) if you are actively employed by the Company on the Payment Date. The applicable portion of the Retention Bonus shall be paid on the applicable Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing if your employment is terminated prior
to the Payment Date (i) by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in the Severance Agreement) or (ii) by you following a Change in Control (as defined in the Severance Agreement) for Good Reason (as defined in the Severance
Agreement),and subject to your execution and not revoking of a general release of claims within 50 days of the termination date, then the Company will pay you the Retention Bonus in full (or any unpaid installment thereof) on the 60th day following
your termination. 
 (b) Forfeiture of Retention Bonus. In the event that your employment with the Company is
terminated either by the Company for Cause or by you other than for Good Reason, prior to the Payment Date you shall forfeit all right, title and interest in and to the Retention Bonus. 

  
 1 

 (c) Stock Option Award. Subject to your continued employment by the Company,
you will be granted an option to purchase 150,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, on the third trading day of the first open trading window applicable to you occurring following the date the restatement of the Company’s financial
statements is complete and announced to the public, with such stock options to have an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant (as determined under the Corporation’s 2010 Incentive Award Plan) and to be subject to a
two year vesting schedule with 50% of the options vesting on each of the first and second anniversary of the grant date provided you remain employed through such date (the “Proposed Option Grants”). 

(d) No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement conveys upon you the right to continue to be
employed by the Company or any successor thereto, constitutes a contract or agreement of employment or restricts the Company’s or any successor’s right to terminate your employment at any time, with or without Cause. 

(e) Withholding. All amounts payable will be less any legally required or voluntarily elected withholdings. 

(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and each of
their respective successors, assigns, beneficiaries, heirs, and representatives, as applicable. You may not assign your rights under this Agreement (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution). 

(g) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. 
 Please confirm your agreement to the foregoing by
signing and dating the enclosed duplicate original of this Agreement in the space provided below for your signature and returning it to me. Please retain one fully-executed original for your files.
