R EVOLVING C REDIT AND S ECURITY A GREEMENT

      THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of May 22,2008 between Intelligroup, Inc. (“Intelligroup”), a New Jersey corporation and Empower, Inc.(“Empower”), a Michigan corporation (Intelligroup and Empower hereinafter collectively referred to as "Borrower"), and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, a national banking association ("Bank");

W I T N E S S E T H :

      In consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and to induce Bank to extend credit to Borrower, the parties agree as follows:

      1. Definitions . Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto.

      2. The Loan .

           2.1. Revolving Loan Credit Facility . Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Advances from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period in amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of Advances at any one time outstanding will not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Loan Amount or (ii) the Borrowing Base (the "Loan"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of the Advances by Bank from time to time shall be subject to any Reserves that Bank in its sole and absolute discretion may deem proper and/or necessary under the Borrowing Base. Within the foregoing limit, Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Advances at any time during the Revolving Credit Period without penalty, subject to the payment of any Yield Maintenance Fee.

           2.2. Revolving Note . The Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the face amount of the Maximum Loan Amount dated May 22, 2008 (the "Note") and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Note and this Agreement.

           2.3. Collections Account .

              (a) If required by Bank in its reasonable discretion, all payments on Accounts and other Collateral shall be forwarded by Borrower to the Collections Account; provided, however, Bank, in its reasonable discretion, may require Borrower to establish a lockbox under the control of Bank to which all Account Debtors shall forward payments on the Accounts. Borrower shall pay all of Bank's standard fees and charges in connection with such lockbox arrangement (if any) and Collections Account as such fees and charges may change from time to time. In the event Bank requires a lockbox arrangement hereunder, Borrower shall notify Account Debtors on the Accounts to forward payments on the Accounts to the lockbox; provided, however, that Bank shall have the right to directly contact Account Debtors at any time to ensure that payments on the Accounts are directed to the lockbox. All payment items received by Borrower on Accounts and sale of Inventory and other Collateral shall be held by Borrower in trust for Bank and not commingled with Borrower's funds and shall be deposited promptly by Borrower to the Collections Account. Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in and lien upon all items and balances held in the lockbox and the Collections Account as collateral for the Indebtedness.

           (b) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any duly authorized Person designated by Bank) as Borrower's attorney-in-fact to endorse Borrower's name on any checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment which come into Bank's possession or control; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable so long as any of the Indebtedness remain outstanding. Such endorsement by Bank under power of attorney shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been made by Borrower (prior to any subsequent endorsement by Bank) in negotiation of the item.

1


           (c) For the purpose of calculating interest due under this Agreement, payment items received into the Collections Account shall be deemed applied on the date of receipt by Bank on account of the Loan as collected by Bank, subject to chargebacks for uncollected payment items. No payment item received by Bank shall constitute payment to Bank until such item is actually collected by Bank and credited to the Collections Account; provided, however, Bank shall have the right to charge back to the Collections Account (or any other account of Borrower maintained at Bank) any item which is returned for inability to collect, plus accrued interest during the period of Bank's provisional credit for such item prior to receiving notice of dishonor.

           2.4. Advances .

           (a) Bank shall require from Borrower a signed written request for an Advance in form satisfactory to Bank, which request shall be delivered to Bank, at 1 HSBC Center, Buffalo, New York 14203, Attention: Bernadice Smoot, no later than 1:00 p.m. (local time Parsippany, New Jersey) on the date of the requested Advance, and shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the proposed Advance and provide such other information as Bank may require. Bank's acceptance of such a request shall be indicated by its making the Advance requested. Such an Advance shall be made available to Borrower in immediately available funds at Bank's address referred to in Section 10.4.

           (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make or permit to remain outstanding Advances under the Loan in excess of the original principal amount of the Note, and all such amounts shall (i) be part of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note, (ii) bear interest as provided herein, (iii) be payable upon demand by Bank, and (iv) be entitled to all rights and security as provided under the Loan Documents.

           (c) All Advance Requests shall be made by Intelligroup, as the designated agent for Advances of Borrower and all Advances shall be made available, as set forth in 2.4(b), above, to Intelligroup.

           2.5. Repayment of Loan .

           (a) Interest on the Loan shall accrue and be payable as set forth in the Note. The Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, expenses and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable, on the Termination Date.

           (b) Bank may debit the Collections Account and/or make Advances to Borrower (whether or not in excess of the lesser of the Maximum Loan Amount and the Borrowing Base) and apply such amounts to the payment of interest, fees, expenses and other amounts to which Bank may be entitled from time to time and Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized to do so without the consent of Borrower.

           (c) Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest on the Loan and fees hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m. (local time Parsippany, New Jersey) on the date when due, without set off, counterclaim or other deduction, in immediately available funds to Bank at its address referred to in Section 10.4. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

           (d) To the extent that the aggregate amount of all Advances exceeds the Borrowing Base, the amount of such excess will be paid immediately to Bank upon Bank's demand.

2


           (e) Any prepayment shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to continue making payments under any swap agreement (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101), which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such swap agreement.

           2.6. Overdue Amounts . Any payments not made as and when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the Default Rate, in Bank's discretion.

           2.7. Calculation of Interest . All interest under the Note or hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of the Actual/360 Computation, as defined in the Note.

           (c) If Borrower elects to prepay Indebtedness, in whole or in part, which is subject to a LIBOR Rate Interest Period other than at the end of the applicable Interest Period, Borrower shall pay to Bank on demand any Yield Maintenance Fee.
