11. Commitments and Contingencies

Revolving Credit Agreement

We have a multi-currency bank revolving credit facility (the credit facility) with a syndicate of ten banks for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as Administrative Agent. The credit facility matures in August 2014, when all amounts will be due and payable in full. The credit facility does not require amortization of principal and may be paid before maturity in whole or in part at PTC's option without penalty or premium. We expect to use the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of other businesses, and may also use it for working capital.

The credit facility consists of a $300 million revolving credit facility, which may be increased by up to an additional $150 million if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments (such increase may also be used, in whole or in part, for term loans). PTC is the sole borrower under the credit facility. The obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by PTC's material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of 65% of the voting equity interests of PTC's material first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

In May 2011, in connection with our acquisition of MKS, we borrowed $250 million under the credit facility at an annual interest rate of 2.1%. Accrued interest is due after three months at which time the interest rate will reset. As of July 2, 2011, we had $250 million outstanding under the credit facility. We did not have any borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at September 30, 2010.

Interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the credit facility range from 1.75% to 2.25% above an adjusted LIBO rate for Eurodollar-based borrowings or would range from 0.75% to 1.25% above the defined base rate (the greater of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus .005%, or an adjusted LIBO rate plus 1%) for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon PTC's leverage ratio. Additionally, PTC may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective London interbank offered interest rates for those currencies, based on PTC's leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the credit facility is required, ranging from 0.30% to 0.40% per annum, based upon PTC's leverage ratio.

The credit facility limits PTC's and its subsidiaries' ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; incur liens or guarantee obligations; pay dividends (other than to PTC) and make other distributions; make investments and enter into joint ventures; dispose of assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates, except on an arms-length basis. Under the credit facility, PTC and its material domestic subsidiaries may not invest cash or property in, or loan to, PTC's foreign subsidiaries in aggregate amounts exceeding $50 million for any purpose and an additional $75 million for acquisitions of businesses. In addition, under the credit facility, PTC and its subsidiaries must maintain the following financial ratios:

•

a leverage ratio, defined as consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA, of no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 at any time; and

•

a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of consolidated trailing four quarters EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges, of no less than 1.25 to 1.00 at any time.

As of July 2, 2011, our leverage ratio was 1.14 to 1.00 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.86 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial and operating covenants of the credit facility as of July 2, 2011.

Any failure to comply with the financial or operating covenants of the credit facility would prevent PTC from being able to borrow additional funds, and would constitute a default, permitting the lenders to, among other things, accelerate the amounts outstanding, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, under the credit facility and to terminate the credit facility. A change in control of PTC, as defined in the agreement, also constitutes an event of default, permitting the lenders to accelerate the indebtedness and terminate the credit facility.

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to such proceedings and claims, we record an accrual for a contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We currently believe that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should any of these legal matters be resolved against us, the operating results for a particular reporting period could be adversely affected.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

We enter into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of our business. Pursuant to such agreements with our business partners or customers, we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to our current products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or our subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and we accordingly believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

We warrant that our software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with our standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products for a specified period of time. Additionally, we generally warrant that our consulting services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards. In most cases, liability for these warranties is capped. If necessary, we would provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history; however, we have not incurred significant cost under our product or services warranties. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.
