PROMISSORY NOTE

			
	$25,000,000
	 	New York, New York

September 23, 2010

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PAREXEL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Massachusetts corporation (the
“Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. (the “Bank”), at its
offices located at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10172, or at such other place as the Bank or
any holder hereof may from time to time designate, the principal sum of TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
($25,000,000), or such lesser amount as may constitute the outstanding balance hereof, in lawful
money of the United States, on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) set forth on the books
and records of the Bank (or earlier as hereinafter referred to), and to pay interest in like money
at such office or place from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance of each Loan (as
hereinafter defined) made hereunder at a rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate (as hereinafter
defined and computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day
year) for such Loan, which shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period relating to such
Loan and, if such Interest Period is greater than three (3) months, at three (3) month intervals
after such Loan is made, until such Loan shall be due and payable (whether at maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) and thereafter, on demand. Interest on any past due amount, whether at
the due date thereof or by acceleration or upon default, shall be payable at a rate two percent
(2%) per annum above the Applicable Interest Rate, which rate shall be computed for actual number
of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year and shall be adjusted as of the date of each such
change, but in no event higher than the maximum permitted under applicable law.

     Interest/Grid Schedule

     The Bank is authorized to enter on its books and records, which may be electronic in nature:
(i) the amount of each Loan made from time to time hereunder, (ii) the date on which each Loan is
made, (iii) the date on which each Loan shall be due and payable to the Bank, provided that all
Loans outstanding will be due and payable no later than December 31, 2010, unless earlier payable
pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Maturity Date”), (iv) the interest rate selected by Borrower as
the interest rate to be paid to the Bank on each Loan (each such rate, the “Applicable Interest
Rate”), which rate, at the Borrower’s option in accordance herewith, shall be at (a) the CB
Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin (the “CB Floating Rate Loan(s)”), (b) a fixed rate of
interest determined by and available at the Bank in its sole discretion (the “Fixed Rate”) for the
applicable Interest Period (the “Fixed Rate Loan(s)”), or (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as hereafter
defined) plus the Applicable Margin (the “LIBOR Loan(s)”), (v) the amount of each payment made
hereunder, and (vi) the outstanding principal balance of the Loans hereunder from time to time.
The date, amount, rate of interest and maturity date of each Loan and payment(s) (if any) of
principal, the Loan(s) to which such payment(s) will be applied (which shall be at the discretion
of the Bank) and the outstanding principal balance of Loans shall be recorded by the Bank on its
books and records (which may be electronic in nature) and at any time and from time to time may be,
and shall be prior to any transfer and delivery of this Note, entered by the Bank on a schedule
which may be attached hereto or any continuation of such schedule attached hereto by the Bank (at
the discretion of the Bank, any such entries may aggregate Loans (and payments thereon) with the
same interest rate and tenor and, if made on a given date, may show only the Loans outstanding on
such date). Any such entries shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

1

 

The failure by the Bank to make any or all such entries shall not relieve the Borrower from its
obligation to pay any and all amounts due hereunder.

     Prepayment

     The Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or a portion of any Loan, without penalty or
premium, prior to the Maturity Date of such Loan. In the event the Borrower does prepay a Loan
(other than a CB Floating Rate Loan) prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall reimburse the
Bank on demand for any loss incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds
released by any prepayment as required pursuant to the Section below entitled Indemnity.

     Discretionary Loans by the Bank

     The Bank, pursuant to a letter dated of even date herewith, has approved an uncommitted line
of credit to the Borrower in a principal amount not to exceed the face amount of this Note. The
execution and delivery of this Note and the acceptance by the Bank of this Note shall not be deemed
or construed to create any contractual commitment to lend by the Bank to the Borrower. The line of
credit is in the form of advances made from time to time by the Bank in its sole and absolute
discretion to the Borrower. This Note evidences the Borrower’s obligations to repay those
advances. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of debt evidenced by this Note is the amount
so reflected from time to time in the records of the Bank. Any LIBOR Loan shall be in a minimum
principal amount of $500,000 and in increments of $100,000. Fixed Rate Loans shall be in a minimum
principal amount of $100,000. Each such request for a Loan shall be made by any officer of the
Borrower or any person designated in writing by any such officer, all of which are hereby
designated and authorized by the Borrower to request Loans and agree to the terms thereof
(including without limitation the Applicable Interest Rate and Maturity Date with respect thereto).
The Borrower shall give the Bank notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the borrowing
date and the end of each Interest Period (as hereafter defined) with respect to each Loan bearing
interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Fixed Rate and one (1) Business Day notice prior to the
borrowing date with respect to each Loan bearing interest at the CB Floating Rate, and shall give
the Bank notice of the Interest Period applicable thereto at such time. In the event the Borrower
shall fail to provide such notice, the Loan shall be deemed to bear interest at the applicable CB
Floating Rate and shall have an Interest Period of one (1) month. The principal amount of each
Loan shall, in any event, be paid on the earlier to occur of the Maturity Date applicable thereto,
or the date upon which the entire unpaid balance hereof shall otherwise become due and payable.

     Increased Cost

     If at any time after the date hereof, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or
any political subdivision of the United States of America or any other government, governmental
agency or central bank shall adopt or modify any reserve or capital requirement on or in respect of
loans made by or deposits with the Bank or shall impose on the Bank or the eurocurrency market any
other conditions affecting Fixed Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and the result of the foregoing is to
increase the cost to (or, in the case of Regulation D, to impose a cost on) the Bank of making or
maintaining any Fixed Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable by
the Bank in respect thereof, by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then from time to time
the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amounts as will compensate the Bank for such
increased cost or reduction; provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to
compensate the Bank for any increased cost resulting from the

2

 

application of Regulation D as required by the definition of Adjusted LIBO Rate. Any such
obligation by the Borrower to the Bank shall not be due and owing until the Bank has delivered
written notice to the Borrower. Failure by the Bank to provide such notice shall not be deemed a
waiver of any of its rights hereunder; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate the Bank for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the
date that Bank notifies the Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and the Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefore; provided further that if the
change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A
certificate of the Bank claiming compensation hereunder and setting forth the additional amounts to
be paid to it hereunder and the method by which such amounts were calculated shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. For the purposes of this section, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith are
deemed to have gone into effect and adopted after the date of this Note.

     Capital Adequacy

     If the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding
capital adequacy, or any change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or
arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory
Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or in
the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by the Bank (or any lending office of the Bank) or the Bank’s holding company with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the Bank’s capital or on the capital of the Bank’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of its making Fixed Rate or LIBOR Loans hereunder to a level below that which the Bank
or the Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration the Bank’s policies and the policies of such Bank’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then from time to time
the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank or
the Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. For the purposes of this section, the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or
directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted after the date
of this Note.

Indemnity

     The Borrower shall indemnify the Bank against (i) any loss or expense which the Bank may
sustain or incur as a consequence of the occurrence of any Event of Default and (ii) any loss or
expense sustained or incurred including, without limitation, in connection with obtaining,
liquidating or employing deposits from third parties as a consequence of the conversion of any Loan
from one interest rate to another or the payment of any principal of any Fixed Rate Loan or LIBOR
Loan by the Borrower (in either case, pursuant to an Event of Default, change in legality or
otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period or the failure of Borrower to
borrow or prepay, convert or continue any Fixed Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan or any part thereof once
notice has been given. The Bank shall provide to the Borrower a statement, supported where
applicable by documentary evidence, explaining the amount of any such loss or expense, which
statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such indemnity shall not be available to the
extent that such losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, demands,

3

 

actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Bank.

Change In Legality

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Note, if any change
after the date hereof in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental
authority charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful (based on the opinion of
any counsel, whether in-house, special or general, for the Bank) for the Bank to make or maintain
any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any
LIBOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower by the Bank, the Bank may require that all
outstanding LIBOR Loans made hereunder be converted to CB Floating Rate Loans, whereupon all such
LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to CB Floating Rate Loans as of the effective date of
such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

     (b) For purposes of this Section, a notice to the Borrower by the Bank pursuant to paragraph
(a) above shall be effective, if lawful and if any LIBOR Loans shall then be outstanding, on the
last day of the then current Interest Period; otherwise, such notice shall be effective on the date
of receipt by the Borrower.

     Events of Default

     If (i) there is any failure by the Borrower to pay any principal when due under this Note, or
there is any failure by the Borrower to pay any interest, fee or other amount under this Note
within 3 Business Days after its due date, (ii) there is any other violation or failure to comply
with any provision of this Note and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 5 days
after notice thereof from the Bank to the Borrower, (iii) one or more judgments for the payment of
money in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000 shall be rendered against the Borrower and
shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 consecutive days during which execution shall not be
effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to attach or levy
upon any assets of Borrower to enforce any such judgment that is not promptly stayed, (iv) any
event or condition occurs that results in any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries in the principal amount of $15,000,000 or more becoming due prior to its
scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of
time or both) the holder or holders of such indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their
behalf to cause such indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase,
redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this
clause (iv) shall not apply to secured indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary
sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such indebtedness, (v) any warranty,
representation or statement of fact made in writing to the Bank at any time by an officer, agent or
employee of the Borrower in connection with this Note or the uncommitted line described above (or
any extensions or renewals thereof) is false or misleading in any material respect when made, (vi)
the Borrower shall be dissolved or shall fail to maintain its existence in good standing and such
shall continue for a period of 30 days, (vii) the Borrower merges or consolidates with any
unaffiliated third party, or sells or otherwise conveys all or substantially all of its assets or
property to a third party outside the ordinary course of business, grants liens over all or
substantially all of its property, (viii) any petition is filed by or against the Borrower under
the Federal Bankruptcy Code or similar state or foreign law, (ix) an “Event of Default” under and
as defined in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing; or (x)
the Borrower admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, then and
in any such event, in addition to all rights and remedies of the

4

 

Bank under applicable law and otherwise, all such rights and remedies cumulative, not exclusive and
enforceable alternatively, successively and concurrently, the Bank may, at its option, declare any
and all of the amounts owing under this Note to be due and payable, whereupon the maturity of the
then unpaid balance hereof shall be accelerated and the same, together with all interest accrued
hereon, shall forthwith become due and payable provided, however, that if a
bankruptcy event specified in subsection (viii) above shall have occurred, all amounts owing under
this Note shall be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower. Further, acceptance of any
payments shall not waive or affect any prior demand or acceleration of amounts due hereunder, and
each such payment made shall be applied first to the payment of accrued interest, then to the
aggregate unpaid principal or otherwise as determined by the Bank in its sole discretion.
“Subsidiary” means (i) any corporation if more than 50% of the outstanding securities having
ordinary voting power is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower or by one or
more of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) any partnership, association, joint venture or similar business
organization if more than 50% of the ownership interests having ordinary voting power are so owned
or controlled.

confidential information. The Bank agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts (if it may legally
do so) to provide prior notice of any disclosure of Information pursuant to clauses (b) or (c)
above.

shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Borrower and inure to the benefit of the
Bank, its successors, endorsees and assigns.

     If any term or provision of this Note shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable the
validity of all other terms and provisions hereof shall in no way be affected thereby.

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.

from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a
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

other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than
for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of

illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be
affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
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.
	 
	 	(l)	 	THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE
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
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
