The Loan bears interest, at PAREXEL’s determination, at a base rate plus a margin (such margin not to exceed a per annum rate of .750%) based on a ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the prior four fiscal quarters (the “Leverage Ratio”), or at a LIBOR rate plus a margin (such margin not to exceed a per annum rate of 1.750%) based on the Leverage Ratio. The Loan may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, subject to the terms and conditions of the loan agreement.
