PROXY STATEMENT
 
 
October 30, 2006
 
This Proxy Statement is being furnished by PAREXEL International Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“PAREXEL” or the “Company”) to holders of common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of PAREXEL in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held at 2:30 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Thursday, December 14, 2006, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Meeting”), at the Museum of Our National Heritage located at 33 Marrett Road, Lexington, Massachusetts 02420.
 
The purpose of the Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following matters:
 
  1.  To elect one Class II Director to the Company’s Board of Directors, to serve for a three-year term continuing until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2009 and until his successor is elected and qualified;
 
  2.  To approve an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Organization, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 to 75,000,000;
 
  3.  To ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007; and
 
  4.  To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof.
 
The Board has fixed the close of business on October 17, 2006 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of the Company’s stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Accordingly, only holders of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. As of the Record Date, 27,520,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
 
The Company’s 2006 Annual Report is being mailed with this Proxy Statement on or about November 1, 2006 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting.
 
A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), except for exhibits, will be furnished without charge to any stockholder upon written or oral request to PAREXEL International Corporation, 200 West Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, Attention: Investor Relations; telephone: 781-434-4118.


Table of Contents

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on any proposal presented at the Meeting. Stockholders may vote in person or by proxy. Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a stockholder’s right to attend the Meeting and vote in person. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is voted. Stockholders of record may revoke their proxies by (1) filing with the Secretary of the Company, before the taking of the vote at the Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy, (2) duly executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to the Secretary of the Company before the taking of the vote at the Meeting or (3) attending the Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy unless the stockholder affirmatively revokes the proxy). Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy should be sent so as to be delivered to PAREXEL International Corporation, 200 West Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, Attention: Secretary, at or before the taking of the vote at the Meeting. Stockholders who hold their shares in “street name” may submit new voting instructions by contacting their broker, bank or nominee and may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting by obtaining a broker’s proxy card from the stockholder’s broker issued in the stockholder’s name giving the stockholder the right to vote the shares.
 
The persons named as attorneys in the proxy are officers of the Company. All properly executed proxies returned in time to be counted at the Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein, and if no choice is specified, the proxies will be voted in favor of the matters set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
 
The representation in person or by proxy of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Meeting is necessary to establish a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock voting is required for the election of the Class II Director (Proposal 1). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote is required to amend the Company’s Articles of Organization (Proposal 2) and a majority of the shares of Common Stock voting is required to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3).
 
Shares which abstain from voting or do not vote on one or more matters, and shares held in “street name” by brokers or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to one or more particular matters (“broker non-votes”), will be counted for purposes of a quorum, but will not be counted as votes in favor of any matter. Such shares will also not be counted as voting on any matter. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the proposed amendment of the Company’s Articles of Organization (Proposal 2) and no effect on the outcome of voting on Proposals 1 and 3 at the Meeting.
 
The Board knows of no other matters to be presented at the Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Meeting (or any adjournment or postponements thereof), the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy and voting thereunder will have the discretion to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

The Class II Directors’ terms will expire at this Meeting. The one nominee for Class II Directors is Richard L. Love. A.

Winschel, Jr. and Douglas A. Batt, FOR the election of the nominee named below. The election of the Director will be determined by the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of common stock voting at the Meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
The Company’s Board has long believed that good corporate governance is important to ensure that the Company is managed for the long-term benefit of stockholders. The Company’s Board has continued to review its governance practices in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC rules and regulations and the listing standards of NASDAQ. This proxy describes key corporate governance guidelines and practices that the Company has adopted. Complete copies of the corporate governance guidelines (as reflected in its Board of Directors Charter and Corporate Governance Principles), committee charters and the code of conduct described below are available on the Company’s website at http://www.parexel.com under the category “Investor Relations-Corporate Governance.” Alternatively, you can request a copy of any of these documents by writing to PAREXEL International Corporation, 200 West Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, Attention: Secretary.
 
Corporate Governance Guidelines
 
The Board has adopted corporate governance guidelines to assist the Board in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities and to serve the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. These guidelines, which provide a framework for the conduct of the Board’s business, include that:
 
  •  the principal responsibility of the Directors is to oversee the management of the Company;
 
  •  a majority of the members of the Board shall be independent Directors;
 
  •  the independent Directors shall meet regularly in executive session;
 
  •  Directors shall have full and free access to management and, as necessary and appropriate, independent advisors;
 
  •  Directors who retire from their principal current employment or materially change their current position should offer to tender their resignation to the Board;
 
  •  new Directors participate in an orientation program and all Directors are expected to participate in continuing Director education on an ongoing basis; and
 
  •  at least annually the Board and its committees will conduct a self-evaluation to determine whether they are functioning effectively.
 
Board Determination of Independence
 
Under NASDAQ rules, a Director of the Company will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a Director. The Company’s Board has determined that none of Ms. Zane or Messrs. Callow, Eagle, Fortune, Lindop, Love or Okun has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a Director and that each of these Directors is an “independent director” as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ rules.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
 
The Company’s Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. While no code of conduct can replace the thoughtful behavior of an ethical director, officer or employee, the Company feels the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, among other things, focuses its Board and management on areas of ethical risk, provides guidance in recognizing and dealing with ethical issues, provide mechanisms to report unethical conduct and generally helps foster a culture of honesty and accountability. Any amendment or waiver of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may only be made by the Board. A current copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on the Company’s website, http://www.parexel.com under the category “Investor Relations-Corporate Governance.” Any future amendments to or waivers from the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, and relates to any element of the code of ethics definition enumerated in paragraph (b) of Item 406 of Regulation S-K, will be promptly disclosed on a Form 8-K. In addition, copies of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available to all stockholders upon request.
 
Meetings of the Board of Directors and its Committees
 
The Board has the responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and reviewing the Company’s overall performance rather than day-to-day operations. The Board’s primary responsibility is to oversee the management of the Company and, in so doing, serve the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board selects, evaluates and provides for the succession of executive officers and, subject to stockholder election, Directors. It reviews and approves corporate objectives and strategies, and evaluates significant policies and proposed major commitments of corporate resources. Management keeps the Directors informed of the Company’s activities through regular reports and presentations at Board and committee meetings.
 
The Board met 8 times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Board has a standing Audit and Finance Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each committee operates under a charter approved by the Board. Copies of the charters are available on the Company’s website, http://www.parexel.com under the category “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance.”
 
The Board has determined that all of the members of each of the Board’s three standing committees listed above are independent as defined under applicable NASDAQ rules, including, in the case of all members of the Audit and Finance Committee, the independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
The Audit and Finance Committee, which oversees the accounting and financial functions of the Company, met 12 times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Audit and Finance Committee has a written charter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix A.

  •  the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

Director Candidates
 
To be considered as a Director nominee by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, an individual must have high personal and professional character and integrity, exceptional ability and judgment, experience in senior corporate management and demonstrated leadership skills, relevant industry knowledge, experience in international operations and markets and accounting/finance, sufficient time to devote to Company matters, and an ability to work with the other Directors to collectively serve the long-term interests of the stockholders. In addition to these minimum requirements, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also evaluate whether the nominee’s skills are complementary to the existing Directors’ skills, and the Board’s need for operational, management, financial, international, industry-specific or other expertise. The committee also evaluates whether the nominee meets the criteria set forth in the NASDAQ rules for independence.
 
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee invites Board members to submit Director nominations. Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential Director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials and a statement as to whether the stockholder or group of stockholders making the recommendation has beneficially owned more than 5% of the Company’s common stock for at least a year as of the date such recommendation is made, to Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, PAREXEL International Corporation, 200 West Street, Waltham, MA 02451. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others. See “Stockholder Proposals and Communications” below. All nominees are evaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee to determine whether they meet the minimum qualifications set forth above and whether they will satisfy the Board’s needs for specific expertise at that time. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee nominates persons for election as Directors at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders.
 
On July 20, 2006, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board elected Ms. Zane as a Class I Director. On October 17, 2006, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board elected Mr. Lindop as a Class III Director.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
 
The Audit and Finance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is composed of two members and acts under a written charter as noted above.

The Audit and Finance Committee held 12 meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
 
The Audit and Finance Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2006 and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit and Finance Committees).
 
The Audit and Finance Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and letter from E&Y required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit and Finance Committees), and has discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence.

In addition, prior to December 16, 2005, each non-employee Director received an option grant for 5,000 shares of Common Stock on every September 1 and March 1. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, under this program, non-employee Directors were granted options to purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Common Stock under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”).

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Overview.  The Company’s executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). Pursuant to authority delegated by the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee establishes each year the non-equity compensation of senior management; reviews, as appropriate, other compensation standards of the Company; and administers the Company’s 401(k)


20


Table of Contents

Savings and Retirement Plan. The Compensation Committee also, pursuant to authority delegated by the Board of Directors, establishes each year the equity compensation of senior management, reviews, as appropriate, equity compensation standards of the Company, and administers the Company’s various stock plans, including the 1998 Non-Qualified, Non-Officer Stock Option Plan, the 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.
 
The members of the Compensation Committee, all of whom are non-employee Directors, bring expertise in matters relating to executive compensation to their service on the Compensation Committee gained through their experience on other Boards of Directors of public and private companies, and through serving as senior executives at other companies. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Richard L. Love, A. Joseph Eagle, Patrick J. Fortune, Serge Okun and Ellen M. Zane. Following the Annual Meeting, the members of the Compensation Committee will be Ms. Zane and Messrs. Love and Fortune.
 
Procedure for Establishing Compensation.  During fiscal year 2006, the Compensation Committee established the annual compensation for the Company’s executive officers, other than the CEO, based, in part, on recommendations of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Committee reviewed the recommendations, taking into account the following factors: (i) external market data on executive compensation; (ii) the Company’s performance; (iii) the individual’s contribution to the Company’s success; (iv) the competitive environment for the retention of executive talent; and (v) the internal equity of compensation levels among executive officers.
 
Elements of Executive Compensation.  The Company’s compensation policy for executive officers for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 was designed to achieve the following objectives: (i) to enhance profitability of the Company and align management’s long-term interests with those of the stockholders; (ii) to reward executives consistent with the Company’s annual and long-term performance goals; (iii) to recognize individual initiative and achievement and (iv) to provide competitive compensation that will attract and retain qualified executives.
 
An executive officer’s compensation package includes:  (i) base salary, which is based upon past performance of the individual and the Company, future corporate expectations and external market data, (ii) annual performance-based compensation, which is based upon achievement of pre-determined quantitative objectives of the Company and individual objectives, and (iii) long-term incentive compensation, in the form of stock options, granted with the objective of aligning executive officers’ long-term interests with those of the stockholders and encouraging the achievement of superior results over an extended period. In addition, the compensation program is comprised of various benefits, including medical, savings and insurance plans, the Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Company’s 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan, all of which are generally available to all employees of the Company.
 
Base Compensation.  Base salaries for executive officers are targeted at competitive market levels for their respective positions, levels of responsibility and experience. In setting base cash compensation levels for executive officers, the Compensation Committee generally takes into account such factors as: (i) the Company’s past financial performance and future expectations; (ii) the general and industry-specific business environment; (iii) the individual executive officer’s base compensation in the prior year; (iv) periodic published surveys, and data provided by an executive compensation consulting firm, of base compensation at comparable companies; (v) annual compensation increases at such companies; and (vi) corporate and individual performance. The Compensation Committee’s review of the foregoing factors is subjective and the Compensation Committee assigns no fixed value or weight to any specific


21


Table of Contents

factors when making its decisions regarding the salary of executive officers. For fiscal year 2006, base salaries and variable incentive compensation opportunities for executive officers of PAREXEL were targeted at levels which would cause total annual compensation (i.e., salary and bonus) of executive officers to average at approximately the median of compensation for officers of comparatively sized companies and for overall industry practice.
 
Performance-Based Compensation.  The Company’s performance-based compensation policies are designed to reward executive officers when the Company meets or exceeds pre-determined goals and are also based on various non-financial objectives such as the ability to recognize and pursue new business opportunities and initiate programs to enhance the Company’s growth and success. In establishing performance bonus formulas for the Company’s executive officers for fiscal year 2006, the Compensation Committee considered: (i) the annual base compensation of each individual, (ii) individual performance, (iii) the actual performance of the Company as compared with projected performance under the Company’s annual operating plan, (iv) the projected future performance of the Company, (v) the general business environment, (vi) periodically published surveys of performance compensation at comparable companies and (vii) surveys of performance compensation at comparable companies prepared at the direction of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee’s review of the foregoing factors was subjective and the Compensation Committee did not assign a fixed value or weight to any specific factors when making its decisions regarding potential bonuses of executive officers.
 
Executive Officers of the Company are eligible to participate in the Company’s Performance Bonus Plan. Each participating executive officer has a specific target award that is expressed as a percentage of his or her base salary paid in the fiscal year, ranging from 35% to 60%. The award is calculated based upon the financial performance of the participant’s business unit, total company performance, achievement of the participant’s individual goals, or a combination of the three. For fiscal year 2006, an aggregate of $946,742 was paid out to executive officers for fiscal 2006 in bonuses under the Performance Bonus Plan.
 
Stock Options and Restricted Stock.  Long-term incentive compensation, in the form of stock options and restricted stock, allows the executive officers to share in any appreciation in the value of the Company’s Common Stock. The Board of Directors believes that stock option and restricted stock participation aligns executive officers’ interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. Stock options granted under the Company’s stock plans generally have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant and become exercisable in four equal annual installments. Restricted stock awards granted to executive officers during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan are evidenced by a restricted stock agreement and the executive must be employed by PAREXEL on a date generally three years from the date of grant for the restrictions on these awards to lapse, and the restricted stock to vest. The number of shares that vest is determined based on whether, during the period between the date of grant and the vesting date, the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market meets or exceeds specified targets for five consecutive trading days within specified time frames. Any portion of any such awards that has not vested by the vesting date will automatically be forfeited to PAREXEL. Any unvested portion of an award will automatically be forfeited to PAREXEL in the event the executive ceases to be employed by PAREXEL prior to the vesting date.
 
In awarding stock options and restricted stock, the Compensation Committee reviewed: (i) the overall compensation package of each executive officer; (ii) periodically published surveys of stock option and restricted stock awards at comparable companies; (iii) surveys of performance compensation at comparable companies prepared at the direction of


22


Table of Contents

the Compensation Committee; (iv) individual performance during the fiscal year in question; (v) the existing levels of stock ownership, previous grants of stock options and restricted stock, vesting schedules of outstanding options and restricted stock and the current stock price and (vi) past financial performance and future expectations. For new executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the general and industry-specific business environment and the expected contribution of the executive officer to the Company over the short and long term.
 
In fiscal year 2006, executive officers of the Company were awarded an aggregate of 359,000 restricted shares of Common Stock.
 
CEO Compensation.  Generally, Mr. von Rickenbach, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, may participate in the same compensation programs that are available to the Company’s other executive officers and his compensation is reviewed annually in accordance with the policies applicable to other executive officers as described above. Mr. von Rickenbach’s compensation is subject to the terms of his employment agreement with the Company. The current rate of compensation for Mr. von Rickenbach under this agreement is $465,750 for an annual salary, with a bonus target of $279,450. Mr. von Rickenbach was paid a bonus $286,157 for fiscal year 2006.
 
As described above, during fiscal year 2006, Mr. von Rickenbach was granted 73,000 restricted shares of Common Stock. This award will vest on December 31, 2008 if Mr. von Rickenbach is still employed by the Company on that date. The number of shares that vest is determined based on whether, during the period between the date of grant and the vesting date, the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market meets or exceeds specified targets for five consecutive trading days within specified time frames.
 
Deductibility of Executive Compensation.  In general, under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Company cannot deduct, for federal income tax purposes, compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to certain executive officers. This deduction limitation does not apply, however, to compensation that constitutes “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Compensation Committee has considered the limitations on deductions imposed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and it is the Committees’ present intention that, for so long as it is consistent with the Company’s overall compensation objective, executive compensation will not be subject to the deduction limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code.
 
No member of the Compensation Committee is currently, or was at any time during the past three years, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
 
Respectfully submitted by the Compensation
Committee:

PROPOSAL 2
 
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE
COMPANY’S RESTATED ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION, AS AMENDED
 
On October 17, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Organization, as amended (the “Restated Articles of Organization”), providing for an increase from 50,000,000 to 75,000,000 in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock (the “Charter Amendment”). As of October 17, 2006, the Company had a total of 27,520,333 shares of Common Stock outstanding, and approximately 2,510,290 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of stock options outstanding under its stock option and stock purchase plans.
 
If the Charter Amendment is approved, the additional authorized shares of Common Stock would be available for issuance in the future for corporate purposes, including without limitation, stock splits, stock dividends, financings, acquisitions, and management incentive and employee benefit plans, as the Board of Directors may deem advisable, without the necessity of further stockholder action. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, would have the effect of diluting the Company’s current stockholders and could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. Other than in connection with its existing stock incentive plans and upon the sale of shares purchased pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, the Company has no present intention or plan to issue any shares of Common Stock.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT THE APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS AND THEREFORE RECOMMENDS A VOTE APPROVING THE CHARTER AMENDMENT.
 
PROPOSAL 3

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
 
The Audit and Finance Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to the Company by E&Y is compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence.
 
The Audit and Finance Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. This policy generally provides that the Company will not engage its independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by the Audit and Finance Committee or the engagement is entered into pursuant to one of the pre-approval procedures described below.
 
From time to time, the Audit and Finance Committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm during the next 12 months. Any such pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or type of services to be provided and is also generally subject to a maximum dollar amount.
 
The Audit and Finance Committee has also delegated to the chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee the authority to approve any audit or non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm. Any approval of services by a member of the Audit and Finance Committee pursuant to this delegated authority is reported on at the next meeting of the Audit and Finance Committee.

OTHER MATTERS
 
The Board does not intend to bring any matters before the Meeting other than those specifically set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting and it knows of no matters to be brought before the Meeting by others. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxies to vote such proxies in accordance with the judgment of the Board.
 
HOUSEHOLDING OF ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS
 
Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of the Company’s Proxy Statement or Annual Report to Stockholders may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household. The Company will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to you if you write or call the Company at the following address or phone number: 200 West Street, Waltham, Massachusetts, 02451, Attention: Investor Relations; 781-434-4118. If you wish to receive separate copies of the Company’s Annual Report and Proxy Statement in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker, or other nominee record holder, or you may contact the Company at the above address and phone number.
 
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND COMMUNICATIONS
 
Under SEC rules, proposals of stockholders intended for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and form of proxy to be furnished to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices not later than July 2, 2007.
 
If a stockholder of the Company wishes to present a proposal before the Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders but has not complied with the requirements for inclusion of such proposal in the Proxy Statement under SEC rules, such stockholder must give written notice of such proposal to the Company not less than 60 and not more than 90 days prior to the scheduled meeting. However, if the meeting is either a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of stockholders to be held prior to the date specified in the by-laws or is a special meeting and less than 70 days’ notice is given of the date of the meeting, a stockholder will have 10 days from the earlier of (a) the date on which notice of such meeting was mailed or (b) the date that public disclosure was made of such meeting date in which to give such notice. The notice from the stockholder must describe the proposed business to be brought before the meeting and include information about the stockholder making the proposal, any beneficial owner on whose behalf the proposal is made, and any other stockholder known to be supporting the proposal. If a stockholder fails to provide timely notice of a proposal to be presented at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the proxies designated by the Board will have discretionary authority to vote on any such proposal. If a stockholder makes a timely notification, the persons named in the proxy may still exercise discretionary authority under circumstances consistent with the SEC’s proxy rules.

Stockholders may send any communications regarding Company business, including stockholder proposals, to the Board or any individual Director in care of the Secretary of the Company at our principal executive offices located at 200 West Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451. The Company suggests any communications should be sent by certified mail return receipt requested. The Secretary will forward all such communications to the addressee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, together with the Company’s management and legal counsel, will evaluate any stockholder proposal submitted to the Company in connection with any meeting of stockholders, and shall recommend to the Board the appropriate response to such proposal. The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders and other interested parties, and will respond if and as appropriate. Absent unusual circumstances or as contemplated by the charters of the committees of the Board, the Presiding Director shall, subject to advice and assistance from the General Counsel of the Company, (1) be primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and other interested parties, and (2) provide copies or summaries of such communications to the other Directors as he or she considers appropriate. Communications may be forwarded to all Directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that the Presiding Director considers to be important for the Directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which the Company tends to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.
 
EXPENSES AND SOLICITATION
 
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company, and in addition to soliciting stockholders by mail through its regular employees, the Company may request banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to solicit their customers who have Common Stock registered in the names of a nominee and, if so, will reimburse such banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket costs. Solicitation by the Company’s officers and employees may also be made of some stockholders in person or by mail, telephone or telegraph following the original solicitation.
 
October 30, 2006
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ENCOURAGES STOCKHOLDERS TO ATTEND THE MEETING. WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO ATTEND, YOU ARE URGED TO COMPLETE, DATE, AND SIGN THE ENCLOSED PROXY AND RETURN IT IN THE ACCOMPANYING ENVELOPE. PROMPT RESPONSE WILL GREATLY FACILITATE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MEETING AND YOUR COOPERATION IS APPRECIATED.
