             Re: Term Loan Facility


Ladies and Gentlemen:



     BANK OF AMERICA, 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 Closing 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 11:00 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 11:00 a.m. three
Business Days (or in the case of the initial Term Loan to be made on the Closing Date,
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 3 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)	 	Closing Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a closing fee of
$25,000 (the “ Closing Fee”). The Closing Fee shall be due and payable on the
Closing Date and, upon payment, shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
	 
	 	(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 100 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 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 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. 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 5(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.






	 	(g)	 	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,
prepay Base Rate Loans 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.

claim brought by the Borrower against the Lender for breach in bad faith of the
Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has

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

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
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds
thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by

illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the

jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
	 
	 	(k)	 	This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and each
counterpart, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE BORROWER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT AND EACH STATE COURT IN
THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR
