Granted Under 2010 Incentive Award Plan

AGREEMENT made as of the [            ] day of [                    ], 200[    ] (the “Grant Date”) between ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [                    ] (the “Participant”).

The Company hereby grants to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s 2010 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), [                    ] restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units” or “RSUs”). Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) upon vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit. The Participant agrees that the RSUs shall be subject to vesting as set forth in Section 2 of 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.

(a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due 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.
