Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons have established “The Moduslink Full Value Committee” for the purpose of seeking representation on the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”). In furtherance of the foregoing, on September 10, 2010, 3 Rivers delivered a letter to the Corporate Secretary of the Issuer nominating Anthony J. Bonidy, Jeffrey J. Fenton and Kenneth H. Traub (collectively, the “Nominees”) to be elected to the Board at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer, or any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof.

The Reporting Persons have engaged in discussions with the Issuer to try to reach an agreement regarding Board representation and certain corporate governance changes that the Reporting Persons believe would enhance shareholder value. Unfortunately, the Reporting Persons have been unable to reach an agreement with the Issuer. As a result, on October 7, 2010, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the Issuer expressing their belief that the full potential of the Issuer is not being realized due to shortcomings in the Company’s operational and capital market strategies and their concerns regarding the Issuer’s corporate governance practices. The Reporting Persons also called on the Issuer to immediately implement a $ 50 to $75 million share repurchase program and align executive compensation with performance. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

CUSIP NO. 60786L107

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on their belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase of additional Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase their respective positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed above. The Reporting Persons intend to review their respective investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis and engage in discussions with management, the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Issuer concerning the business, operations and future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future ta ke such actions with respect to their respective investments in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, the Board, ownership structure or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

THE MODUSLINK FULL VALUE COMMITTEE

Raging Capital Management, LLC

254 Witherspoon Street

Princeton, New Jersey 08542

LCV Capital Management, LLC

Fifteen Churchill Road, Suite 1000

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15235

October 7, 2010

The Board of Directors

ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc.

1100 Winter Street

Waltham, MA 02451

To the Board of Directors of ModusLink:

The ModusLink Full Value Committee (“The Committee”) owns approximately 5.5% of the outstanding shares of ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. (“ModusLink” or the “Company”). We are well informed, long-term investors who have met with senior management and several board members on numerous occasions since representatives of The Committee began investing in ModusLink in 2008.

As we have communicated to you, we believe that the full potential of the Company is not being realized due to shortcomings in the Company’s operational and capital markets strategies. We are concerned about the Company’s strategic direction, approach to capital allocation, and weak governance oversight. In our opinion, these factors are key contributors to ModusLink’s lackluster stock price performance over the past several years.

Our view is that ModusLink has a tremendous opportunity to unlock and drive substantial shareholder value. The Company’s $174 million in cash and investments are equal to approximately $4.00 per share, and working capital on hand exceeds $220 million, or 80% of the Company’s current market capitalization. Yet the Company’s enterprise value totals just $120 million, or less than three times its Fiscal 2010 EBITDA of $46 million. Unfortunately, the Company will likely continue as a chronic underperformer in the marketplace until change is implemented.

IMPROVE CAPITAL ALLOCATION AND OPERATING FOCUS; DIVEST NON-CORE ASSETS

Shareholder value has been destroyed via a series of poorly timed and poorly executed business acquisitions by ModusLink. Since 2004, ModusLink has spent more than $315 million on acquisitions, including $87 million on three separate businesses acquired since 2008. The Company has since taken material goodwill impairment charges on the bulk of these acquisitions in the last two years. With a current enterprise value of $120 million, it’s fair to say that the return on deployed acquisition capital over the past six years has been abysmal.

Instead of making additionl acquisitions, we believe the Company should focus on optimizing and streamlining existing operations, while divesting underperforming and non-core assets. We believe a simpler, more transparent business would be easier for management to operate and for investors to comprehend and support, thus leading to improved operating results and shareholder returns.

Furthermore, given the relative stability of the cash flows of the Company’s core business, the significant discount to intrinsic/replacement value that the stock currently trades at, and the strength of the balance sheet, we believe ModusLink should immediately implement a $50 to $75 million share repurchase program. This would be highly accretive to shareholders, and magnify the potential upside of any improvement in the Company’s operating results.

INSUFFICIENT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND INSIDER OWNERSHIP

We have also communicated to you our serious suggestions to improve ModusLink’s corporate governance shortcomings. While many publicly traded companies have prudently separated the respective roles of Chairman and CEO, ModusLink continues to operate under an archaic structure where the Chairman also holds the position of CEO and President. This structure fails to provide the appropriate checks and balances needed between the Board and management and engenders a harmful and value-destroying perception by the market of a general lack of accountability.

We are also deeply concerned that this Board has failed to align executive compensation with performance. According to the Company’s 2009 proxy statement, ModusLink paid out more than $13.8 million to its top three senior executives over a period of three years while Company’s market value declined by hundreds of millions of dollars. This is not acceptable to us as active and concerned shareholders. It is noteworthy that we are not alone in our opinion on this matter: At last year’s annual meeting, one of the leading corporate governance and proxy advisory firms recommended that shareholders withhold their vote against the election of the chairman of the compensation committee because of the Company’s propensity to overcompensate management for an underperforming stock. We firmly believe that, in accordance with its fiduciary obligation to shareholders, it is imperative that the Board aligns compensation with the enhancement of shareholder value, since shareholders are the true owners of the Company.

We propose that part of the failure to align compensation with performance can be traced to the low level of stock ownership held by senior management and the Board. In fact, excluding ModusLink’s Chairman & CEO, the other six members of the board own approximately 35,000 shares in total, or less than one tenth of one percent of the Company.

NEW SHAREHOLDER REPRESENTATIVES ARE NEEDED TO UNLOCK VALUE

As significant shareholders, our objective is to see the full value of our shares and the shares of all other owners of this Company be recognized in the marketplace. We are committed to working on behalf of all shareholders to ensure that shareholders’ interests are represented in the boardroom.

As you know, we have nominated three individuals to fill the director positions up for election at the Company’s next annual meeting. All three of our nominees have the appropriate skills and fortitude to implement the significant changes necessary to benefit all ModusLink shareholders and we believe they will be valuable additions to the Board.

We continue to welcome an open dialogue with you but to date we have been unable to reach an understanding with the Company that will result in the Company immediately taking the necessary steps to unlock shareholder value. Our sincere hope is that this Board will take a fresh look at the opinions we have outlined above and take immediate action to embrace change rather than engage in a protracted and costly proxy contest in an effort to preserve the status quo.

We remain open to speaking with you at any time.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lodovico C. de Visconti

Re: ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc.

Dear Mr. Bonidy:

Thank you for agreeing to serve as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors of ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the proxy solicitation that LCV Capital Management, LLC and Raging Capital Management, LLC (the “Indemnifying Parties”) are considering undertaking to nominate and elect directors at the Company’s 2010 annual meeting of stockholders, or any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof (the “Solicitation”). Your outstanding qualifications, we believe, will prove a valuable asset to the Company and all of its stockholders. This letter will set forth the terms of our agreement and shall replace any prior agreements entered into between you a nd LCV Capital Management with respect to the Company and the Solicitation.

The Indemnifying Parties agree to indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all claims of any nature arising from the Solicitation and any related transactions, irrespective of the outcome; provided, however, that you will not be entitled to indemnification for claims arising from your gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional and material violations of law, criminal actions, provision to the Indemnifying Parties of false or misleading information (including false or misleading information on any questionnaire you are requested to complete by the Indemnifying Parties), or material breach of the terms of this letter agreement; provided f urther, that all of the Indemnifying Parties’ indemnification and other obligations hereunder shall terminate upon your becoming a director of the Company. This indemnification will include any and all losses, liabilities, damages, demands, claims, suits, actions, judgments, or causes of action, assessments, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing for or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitration action, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation asserted against, resulting, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by you, directly or indirectly, as a result of or arising from the Solicitation and any related transactions (each, a “Loss”).

In the event of a claim against you pursuant to the prior paragraph or the occurrence of a Loss, you shall give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written notice of such claim or Loss (provided that failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve them from any liability which they may have on account of this letter agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Parties shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure). Upon receipt of such written notice, the Indemnifying Parties will provide you with counsel to represent you. Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to you. In addition, you will be reimbursed promptly for all Losses suffered by you and as incurred as provided herein. The Indemnifying Parties may not enter into any settlement of Loss or claim wit hout your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such Loss or claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this letter agreement, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be responsible for any fees, costs or expenses of separate legal counsel retained by you without the Indemnifying Parties’ prior written approval. In addition, you agree not to enter into any settlement of Loss or claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Parties, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

This letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof.

This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Very truly yours,
