Re:    Term Loan Facility
Ladies and Gentlemen:
TD BANK, N.A. (the “Lender”) is pleased to make available to PAREXEL International Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the “Borrower”), a term loan on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below.  Terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in Exhibit A hereto.


1.    The Facility.
		
	(a)
	The Term Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make a single loan to the Borrower on the Funding Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to $25,000,000 (the “Term Loan”).  Amounts borrowed under this Paragraph 1(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.


		
	(b)
	Borrowings, Conversions, Continuations.  The Borrower may request that the Term Loan or, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any portion thereof be (i) made as or converted to a Base Rate Loan by irrevocable notice to be received by the Lender not later than 12:00 p.m. (or, in the event the proceeds of the Term Loan are to be made available to the Borrower in any account other than an account located in the United States, 9:00 a.m.) on the Business Day of the borrowing or conversion, or (ii) made or continued as, or converted to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan by irrevocable notice to be received by the Lender not later than 12:00 p.m. (or, in the event the proceeds of the Term Loan are to be made available to the Borrower in any account other than an account located in the United States, 9:00 a.m.) three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Lender) prior to the Business Day of the borrowing, continuation or conversion.  If the Borrower fails to give a notice of conversion or continuation prior to the end of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested such Eurodollar Rate Loan to be converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period.  If the Borrower requests that any portion of the Term Loan be continued as or converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, but fails to specify an Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.  Notices pursuant to this Paragraph 1(b) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing.

Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Each Base Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000.  There shall not be more than 5 different Interest Periods in effect at any time.
		
	(c)
	Interest.  At the option of the Borrower, the Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or (ii) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.


The Borrower promises to pay interest (i) for each Eurodollar Rate Loan, (A) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (B) on the date of any conversion of the Term Loan (or portion thereof) to a Base Rate Loan and (C) on the date of any prepayment of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the amount so prepaid; (ii) for Base Rate Loans, on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter; and (iii) on the Maturity Date.  If the time for any payment is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest shall continue to accrue for such extended period.
After the date any principal amount of the Term Loan is due and payable (whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary obligation hereunder shall have become due and payable (in each case without regard to any applicable grace periods), the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%.  Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts shall be payable on demand.
In no case shall interest hereunder exceed the amount that the Lender may charge or collect under applicable law.
		
	(d)
	Evidence of Loans.  The Term Loan and all payments thereon shall be evidenced by the Lender’s loan accounts and records; provided, however, that upon the request of the Lender, the Term Loan may be evidenced by a promissory note in a form reasonably acceptable to the Lender in addition to such loan accounts and records.  Such loan accounts, records and promissory note, if any, shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Term Loan and payments thereon.  Any failure to record the Term Loan or payment thereon or any error in doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Term Loan.


		
	(e)
	Reduction of Commitments.  The commitment of the Lender hereunder to make the Term Loan as provided herein shall be terminated in full upon the funding of the Term Loan on the Funding Date. 


		
	(f)
	Repayment.  (i)  The Borrower hereby promises, absolutely and unconditionally, to pay the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan then outstanding on the Maturity Date.  The Borrower shall make all payments required hereunder not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of payment in same day funds in Dollars at the office of the Lender located at 200 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109 or such other address as the Lender may from time to time designate in writing.

	(ii) 
	All payments by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder shall be made to the Lender in full without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and exempt from, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof unless the Borrower is required to deduct or withhold such amounts by law.  If the Borrower is required to deduct or withhold taxes by law, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for any taxes imposed on or withheld from such payments (other than taxes imposed on the Lender’s income, franchise taxes imposed on the Lender, or branch profits taxes or similar taxes imposed on the Lender, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof or in which its principal or lending office is located or by any jurisdiction as a result of a present or former connection between the Lender and such jurisdiction, other than any such connection arising solely as a result of this Agreement).  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, a duly executed and properly completed copy of IRS Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax.  The Borrower shall not reimburse the Lender for any withholding taxes resulting from Lender’s failure to deliver such form.  No assignee or participant shall be entitled to reimbursement for taxes hereunder or reimbursement or payment of any costs, losses or payments under Paragraph 6(d) hereof, to the extent that the assignor or grantor of participation rights, as applicable, was not entitled to such reimbursement or payment at the time of such assignment or grant of participation.  Any assignee or participant shall provide the Borrower with a duly completed and properly completed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not reimburse the Lender for any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as of the date of this Agreement (and any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), and any current or future regulations (whether temporary or proposed) that are issued thereunder or official governmental interpretations thereof.


		
	(g)
	Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may, upon three Business Days’ notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and upon same-day notice in the case of Base Rate Loans, voluntarily prepay the Term Loan on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower pays all Breakage Costs (if any) associated with such prepayment on the date of such prepayment.  Prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans must be accompanied by a payment of interest on the amount so prepaid.  Prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans must be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Prepayments of Base Rate Loans must be in a principal amount of at least $500,000 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.


		
	(h)
	Mandatory Prepayments.  Immediately upon the incurrence after the Funding Date by the Borrower or any of its domestic subsidiaries (other than any domestic subsidiary which is a direct or indirect subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary) of any indebtedness for borrowed money (other than (x) indebtedness incurred pursuant to the existing “Commitments” under and as defined in the Incorporated Agreement, and (y) indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100,000,000 incurred in connection with any private offering of senior

notes), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan equal to the lesser of (i) the principal amount then outstanding and (ii) the cash amount of such indebtedness which the Borrower is able to borrow thereunder (net of any underwriting discounts, commissions, fees and other reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses, incurred by the Borrower in connection therewith); provided, however, that if the terms or provisions of the BoA Facility or any Short Term Loan Facility require the Borrower to make a prepayment of indebtedness under the BoA Facility or any such Short Term Loan Facilities in a manner similar to this clause (h) (such indebtedness under such Short Term Loan Facilities being referred to as “Prepayable Indebtedness”), then the amount that would otherwise be prepayable under this clause (h) shall be pro-rated among the Term Loan and such other Prepayable Indebtedness based on the aggregate principal amount outstanding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the “Commitments” under and as defined in the Incorporated Agreement are increased after the date hereof or are refinanced pursuant to a credit facility (which does not otherwise cause the Maturity Date to occur) in a principal amount greater than the maximum aggregate principal amount of credit facilities under the Incorporated Agreement as in effect on the date hereof (but regardless of the actual outstanding borrowings thereunder on the date hereof) (the “Principal Increase Amount”), the prepayment provisions of this clause (h) shall only apply to the Principal Increase Amount under the Incorporated Agreement (net of any underwriting discounts, commissions, fees and other reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses, incurred by the Borrower in connection therewith).

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
