PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 8, 1996
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
of proxies by the Board of Directors of Parametric Technology Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation (the "Company"), for use at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders to be held on February 8, 1996 and at any adjournment of that
meeting (the "Annual Meeting"). All proxies will be voted in accordance with
the stockholders' instructions contained therein. If no choice is specified,
proxies will be voted in favor of the matters set forth in the accompanying
Notice of Annual Meeting. Any proxy may be revoked by a stockholder at any time
before its exercise by delivery of a written revocation or subsequently dated
proxy to the Clerk of the Company or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
On December 15, 1995, the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, there were outstanding and
entitled to vote an aggregate of 63,198,880 shares of common stock of the
Company (the "Common Stock"). Stockholders are entitled to one vote per share
on all matters.
The Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1995 is being mailed to stockholders with the mailing of this Notice and Proxy
Statement on or about December 29, 1995.
VOTES REQUIRED
The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of
Common Stock represented and voting at the Annual Meeting is required for the
election of directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date is
required for the approval of an amendment to the Company's Articles of
Organization to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's Common
Stock. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
Common Stock represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required
(i) for the approval of an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock
authorized for issuance under the Company's 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan
(the "Stock Option Plan"), and to change the designation of persons eligible to
receive options under the Stock Option Plan to include consultants, and (ii) for
the approval of the Company's 1996 Director Stock Option Plan (the "1996
Director Plan").
Shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Annual
Meeting (including shares which abstain from or do not vote with respect to one
or more of the matters presented at the Annual Meeting and broker non-votes, as
described below) will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for
the Annual Meeting and will determine whether or not a quorum is present. The
inspectors of election will treat abstentions as shares that are present and
entitled to vote for purposes of determining the number of shares that are
present and entitled to vote with respect to any particular matter, but will not
count abstentions as a vote in favor of such matter. Accordingly, an abstention
from voting on a matter by a stockholder present in person or represented by
proxy at the Annual Meeting with respect to any matter requiring a majority of
the shares represented and entitled to vote has the same legal effect as a vote
"against" the matter even though the stockholder or interested parties analyzing
the results of the voting may interpret such vote differently. If a broker
holding stock in "street name" indicates on the proxy that it does not have
discretionary authority as to certain shares to vote on a particular matter,
those shares will not be considered as present and entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting with respect to the matter. Accordingly, a "broker non-vote" on a
matter has no effect on the voting on that matter. Neither an abstention nor a
broker non-vote will be treated as voting on a matter requiring a plurality of
the shares represented and voting. Since the increase in the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, any shares not
voted in favor of the action, including abstentions and broker non-votes, will
have the same effect as a vote "against" the matter.

currently three Class I directors, two Class II directors and two Class III
directors, whose terms expire, respectively, at the 1997, 1998 and 1996 Annual
Meetings of Stockholders (in all cases subject to the election and qualification
of their successors and to their earlier death, resignation or removal). At
each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors are elected for a term of three
years to succeed those directors whose terms then expire. The two Class III
directors elected at the Annual Meeting will be elected to serve until the 1999
Annual Meeting of Stockholders (subject to the election and qualification of
their successors and to their earlier death, resignation or removal).

that effect. Each of the nominees is currently a Class III director of the
Company.
Each of the nominees has indicated his willingness to serve, if elected;
however, if either nominee should be unable or unwilling to stand for election,
proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of
Directors.
The table on the following page sets forth, for each nominee as a Class III
director and for each director of the Company whose term continues after the

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS
The Board of Directors held six meetings during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1995. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the
total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of other meetings held by
all committees of the Board of Directors on which he then served.
The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee which meets with the
Company's independent accountants and reports on such meetings to the Company's
Board of Directors. The Audit Committee reviews the performance of the
independent accountants in the annual audit and in assignments unrelated to the
audit, reviews fees of the independent accountants, discusses the Company's
internal accounting control policies and procedures and considers and recommends
the selection of the Company's independent accountants. The Audit Committee met
four times during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. The fiscal 1995
Audit Committee members were Messrs. Goldman, Porter and Posternak (Chairman).
The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Goldman, Marx and Porter
(Chairman).
The Board of Directors has a Compensation Committee which provides
recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding executive and employee
compensation and administers the Company's bonus programs, the Stock Option Plan
and the Company's 1991 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"). The
Compensation Committee met twice during the fiscal year ended September 30,
1995. The fiscal 1995 Compensation Committee members were Messrs. Goldman
(Chairman) and Porter. Messrs. Goldman (Chairman) and Porter also constitute
the Officers' Stock Option Committee, which grants stock options under the
Company's Stock Option Plan to employee directors and officers subject to
Section 16 (collectively "Section 16 Officers") of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Officers' Stock Option Committee
met four times during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. As of November
17, 1995, Mr. Posternak replaced Mr. Porter on both committees.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, directors who were
not employees of the Company received the following directors' fees in
consideration of their services as directors of the Company: an annual retainer
in the amount of $10,000 and $2,000 per Board of Directors meeting whether
attended in person or by telephone conference, as well as reimbursement of
travel expenses. Additionally, members of the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors received a fee of $1,000 per meeting of the Audit Committee whether
attended in person or by telephone conference. Effective fiscal year 1996,
members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will also
receive a fee of $1,000 per meeting of the Compensation Committee whether
attended in person or by telephone conference. Directors who are also employees
of the Company do not receive any compensation for their services as directors
of the Company.
On February 4, 1992, the stockholders approved the 1992 Director Stock
Option Plan of the Company (the "1992 Director Plan"), which authorizes the
granting of non-qualified stock options for the purchase of a maximum of 320,000
shares (subject to future adjustment for stock splits and similar capital
changes) of Common Stock to non-employee directors of the Company. Options to
purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares of Common Stock were automatically
granted to each of Messrs. Goldman, Grierson and Posternak on February 4, 1992.
In addition, any new director elected to the Board of Directors on or before the
date of the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders who is an eligible director
shall automatically be granted, on the effective date of such election, options
to purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, options
to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock were automatically granted to Messrs.
Porter (Class II director) and Marx (Class I director) upon their election as
directors of the Company on February 9, 1995 and September 15, 1995,
respectively. Options granted under the 1992 Director Plan shall become
exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year following the
date of grant if and only if the optionee is a director of the Company on such
anniversary date. The options have a term of ten years and an exercise price
equal to the last sale price of the Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock
Market's National Market (the "Nasdaq Stock Market") on the date of grant. The
option exercise price is payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock having an
aggregate fair market value, at the time of such payment, equal to the total
option price for the number of shares of Common Stock for which payment is then
being made, or a combination thereof. As of September 30, 1995, options granted
under the 1992 Director Plan were outstanding for the purchase of 70,000, 40,000
and 40,000 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices of $17.5625, $37.250 and
$60.25, respectively. Unless amended, no options will be granted under the 1992
Director Plan after the date of the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

/(1)/ All options granted to the named executive officers are exercisable in
four equal annual installments, commencing one year after the date of
grant. The Stock Option Plan provides that the exercise price of each
option must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the Company's
Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price may be
paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations for shares previously
acquired upon exercise of options, in shares of Common Stock, or in a
combination of cash and shares. Pursuant to employment agreements, the
options held by Mr. Walske and Mr. Harrison become exercisable (i) in full
upon a "change in control" of the Company (as described under the section
entitled "Employment Agreements") or upon the individual's death or
disability, and (ii) for the number of shares for which they would have
been exercisable had the optionee's employment continued for an additional
year after the termination of the optionee's employment without "cause" or
after a "change in status".

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of
two outside directors. The two outside directors also serve as the Officers'
Stock Option Committee to grant stock options to Section 16 Officers. The
compensation for the Company's executive officers is set by the Board of
Directors, after consideration of the Compensation Committee's recommendations.
Compensation Objectives
The basic philosophy underlying the Company's compensation programs is
to align executive compensation with increases in stockholder value. Several
key objectives are reflected within this basic philosophy, one of which is to
enable the Company to attain its annual market penetration and financial
targets. Another key objective is to ensure that a major portion of each
executive's cash compensation is linked to significant improvements in the
Company's financial performance. The third key objective is to make it possible
for the Company to attract, retain and reward executives who are responsible for
leading the Company in achieving or exceeding corporate performance goals.
Executive Compensation Programs
The Company's executive compensation programs, which contain no
special perquisites, consist of three principle elements: base salary, cash
bonus and stock options. The Company's objective is to emphasize incentive
compensation in the form of bonuses and stock option grants, rather than base
salary. The Board of Directors sets the annual base salary for executives,
after consideration of the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. Prior
to making its recommendations, the Compensation Committee reviews historical
compensation levels of the executives, evaluations of past performance and
assessments of expected future contributions of the executives. In making the
determinations regarding base salaries, the Company considers generally
available information regarding salaries prevailing in the industry but does not
utilize any particular indices.
The Company maintains incentive plans (the "IPs") under which
executive officers (including the Chief Executive Officer), other than those
participating in sales activities, are paid cash bonuses subsequent to the end
of each fiscal year. Executive officers who do not participate in the IPs are
paid a commission based on revenue and receive a special cash bonus if they meet
their respective stretch goals. The bonuses under the IPs are dependent
primarily on the Company's financial performance and achievement of corporate
objectives established by the Board of Directors prior to the start of each
fiscal year.
The IPs for fiscal 1995 set forth three performance factors consisting
of earnings per share, revenue and the number of software seats licensed for two
of the participating officers (including the Chief Executive Officer). For the
remaining two participating officers, the IPs for fiscal 1995 set forth two
performance factors consisting of earnings per share and individual performance
goals. Three different target levels were established for each performance
factor and a gross target bonus corresponding to each of the three target levels
was set. A weight was then assigned to each of the performance factors and the
actual bonus earned was calculated using a formula which weighed the three
performance factors. If the Company failed to meet the minimum profitability
target for fiscal 1995, the executives would not have been eligible to receive a
cash bonus. The various elements of the bonus calculation formula were set by
the Board of Directors, after consideration of the Compensation Committee's
recommendation.
Total compensation for executive officers also includes long-term
incentives offered by stock options, which are generally provided through
initial stock option grants at the date of hire and periodic additional stock
option grants. Stock options are instrumental in promoting the alignment of
long-term interests between the Company's executive officers and stockholders
due to the fact that executives realize gains only if the stock price increases
over the fair market value at the date of grant and the executives exercise
their options. In determining the amount of such grants, the Officers' Stock
Option Committee evaluates the job level of the executive, responsibilities to
be assumed in the upcoming fiscal year, responsibilities of each executive in
prior years and the size of awards made to each such officer in prior years
relative to the Company's overall performance. It has been the Company's
practice to fix the exercise price of options, which generally become
exercisable in equal annual installments over a period of four years commencing
one year after the date of grant, at 100% of
9
<PAGE>
the fair market value on the date of grant. Therefore, the long-term value
realized by executives through option exercises can be directly linked to the
enhancement of stockholder value.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
The Chief Executive Officer's performance was evaluated, and his
compensation determined, in accordance with the factors described above
applicable to executive officers generally. For the fiscal year ended September
30, 1995, the Chief Executive Officer earned a cash bonus of $500,000, which
represented 63% of his total cash compensation (base salary plus cash bonus) and
a 17% increase over the cash bonus earned in fiscal 1994. This amount reflects
the increases in earnings per share of 40.4% (excluding non-recurring charges),
revenue of 47.7%, and the number of software seats licensed of 34.7% over the
prior year.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the Officers' Stock
Option Committee granted to the Chief Executive Officer an option to purchase
300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The amount of the grant reflects
the senior position held by the Chief Executive Officer within the Company, the
significant contributions made by the Chief Executive Officer to the Company in
fiscal 1995 and those anticipated to be made by him in the future, and the
strong results achieved by the Company during a period in which the senior
management team was re-engineered and the Company made its first acquisitions.
Compensation Deductibility
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), imposes a limit on tax deductions for annual compensation in excess of
one million dollars paid by a corporation to its chief executive officer and the
other four most highly compensated executive officers of a corporation. This
provision excludes certain forms of "performance based compensation" from the
compensation taken into account for the purposes of that limit. The Company's
Stock Option Plan was amended in November 1994 to limit the number of options
which may be granted to any single individual under the Stock Option Plan in
order to qualify for the exclusion on deductibility. Accordingly, none of the
compensation paid by the Company in fiscal 1995 was subject to the limitation on
deductibility. The Compensation Committee will continue to assess the impact of
Section 162(m) of the Code on its compensation practices and determine what
further action, if any, is appropriate.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Agreement with Mr. Walske
The Company has entered into an agreement with Mr. Walske which
provides for certain benefits for him in the event of a termination of his
employment under certain circumstances and upon the occurrence of certain
events. Under the agreement, in the event the Company elects to terminate Mr.
Walske's employment (other than for "cause", as defined in the agreement), or
effects a "change in status" of Mr. Walske (which, as defined in the agreement,
includes a diminution in title, responsibilities or compensation), Mr. Walske
shall be entitled to receive (i) during the six-month period following such an
event (or until such earlier date as he commences employment with another
company), a salary at a rate equal to two times the highest annual salary
(excluding bonuses) received by him in the prior six months, and (ii) provided
he remains employed with the Company for such six-month period, a bonus equal to
Mr. Walske's most recent fiscal year-end bonus. The agreement also provides
that the outstanding options held by Mr. Walske under the Stock Option Plan
shall become exercisable (i) in full upon a "change in control" of the Company,
which in general includes (a) any person becoming the beneficial owner of 50% or
more of the voting power of the Company, (b) a change in a majority of the
Company's directors, or (c) the approval by the stockholders of a merger or
consolidation in which the Company's stockholders do not have majority voting
power of the surviving entity, a liquidation of the Company or a sale or
disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or upon the
death or disability of Mr. Walske, and (ii) for such number of shares of Common
Stock for which they would have been exercisable had Mr. Walske's employment
continued for one year following a termination of his employment without "cause"
or a "change in status" of Mr. Walske.
Agreement with Mr. Harrison
The Company has entered into an agreement with Mr. Harrison which
provides for certain benefits for him in the event of a termination of his
employment under certain circumstances and upon the occurrence of certain
events. The benefits provided under this agreement are substantially similar to
those provided to Mr. Walske discussed above under this section except for the
following: in the event the Company elects to terminate the employment of Mr.
Harrison without "cause", or effects a "change in status" of Mr. Harrison, there
is no provision for a bonus to be paid to Mr. Harrison.
Agreement with Mr. Gallagher
Mr. Gallagher resigned his position as Senior Vice President of
Finance and Administration, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer effective June
30, 1995. The Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Gallagher to continue
to employ him at an annual salary of $175,000 for a term which ended on October
19, 1995. Mr. Gallagher also received a pro-rated bonus under the Company's IPs
for his contributions during fiscal 1995 of $130,000.
SECTION 16(A) REPORTING DELINQUENCY
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, Donald K. Grierson, a
director of the Company, filed his Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership
on Form 4 after the date on which such form was required to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION INCREASING AUTHORIZED
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The Board of Directors of the Company recommends that the stockholders
approve an amendment to Article 3 of the Company's Articles of Organization to
increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 75,000,000 to
215,000,000. As of October 31, 1995, the Company had a total of 62,997,238
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, 8,299,347 shares reserved for
issuance under its Stock Option Plan, 639,668 shares reserved for issuance under
its Purchase Plan, 240,000 shares reserved for issuance under its 1992 Director
Plan, and 381,671 shares reserved for issuance under a stock option plan assumed
in one of the Company's acquisitions.
The Board of Directors believes that it is important to ensure that
the Company will continue to have an adequate number of authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock available for future use. If this amendment is adopted
by the stockholders, the additional authorized Common Stock would be available
for issuance from time to time in the future for such corporate purposes,
including stock splits and stock dividends, financings, and acquisitions, as the
Board may deem advisable, without the necessity of further stockholder action.
The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, while providing desirable
flexibility in carrying out corporate purposes, could have the effect of making
it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party
from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. In
addition, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock could also lead to
the dilution of existing stockholders. The Company may from time to time be
reviewing potential acquisition candidates but has no present commitments or
agreement with respect to any transactions involving the issuance of additional
shares of Common Stock. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the
amendment to the Articles of Organization is in the best interest of the Company
and its stockholders and recommends a vote FOR the proposal to approve the
amendment to the Articles of Organization.
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE 1987 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
On November 17, 1995, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to
stockholder approval, amendments to the Stock Option Plan to (i) increase the
number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Stock Option Plan
by 3,000,000 shares, and (ii) change the designation of persons eligible to
receive options under the Stock Option Plan to include consultants.
Success of the Company depends, in large part, on its ability to
attract, retain and motivate key employees and consultants with experience and
ability. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the opportunity to
receive options under the Stock Option Plan provides an important incentive to
employees and consultants of the Company and that the Stock Option Plan will
assist the Company in attracting and retaining competent personnel.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company believes that the amendments
to the Stock Option Plan are in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders and recommends a vote FOR the proposal to approve the amendments to
the Stock Option Plan.
OPTION PLAN ACTIVITY
As of October 31, 1995, options to purchase an aggregate of 13,096,653
shares under the Stock Option Plan had been exercised and options to purchase
7,042,062 shares were outstanding. Without taking into account the proposed
amendment to the Stock Option Plan, 1,257,285 shares of Common Stock remained
available for future stock option grants under the Stock Option Plan as of
October 31, 1995. The closing price of the Company's Common Stock on October
31, 1995 as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market was $66.875 per share.
In addition to those options granted to key employees under the Stock
Option Plan, options to purchase an aggregate of 29,000 shares of Common Stock
have been granted, subject to stockholder approval, to consultants of the
Company on November 17, 1995 as compensation for services to be performed on
behalf of the Company and include an option to purchase 4,000 shares of Common
Stock granted to Michael Porter, a director of the Company, for services to be
performed pursuant to a consulting agreement between Mr. Porter and the Company.
The exercise price of such options is $67.00, which was 100% of the fair market
value on the date of grant.

SUMMARY OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Stock Option Plan currently provides for the granting of options
for the purchase of shares of Common Stock of the Company to employees of the
Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Options granted under the Stock Option
Plan may be either incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Code, or non-qualified stock options. The purpose of the Stock Option Plan
is to encourage ownership of Common Stock by key employees of the Company and to
provide additional incentive to promote the growth, development and financial
success of the Company's business. Grants to any individual under the Stock
Option Plan are limited in any fiscal year to 1,000,000 shares.
The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, the
Compensation Committee (and with respect to grants to Section 16 Officers, the
Officers' Stock Option Committee) has the authority to select the employees to
whom options are granted and determine the terms of each option, including (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the option, (ii) when the option
becomes exercisable (generally in four equal annual installments, commencing one
year after the date of grant), (iii) the option exercise price, and (iv) the
duration of the option. The Stock Option Plan provides that the exercise price
of each option must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the Company's
Common Stock on the date the option is granted and that the duration of an
option may not be more than ten years from the date of grant. During the
lifetime of the optionee, his or her option is exercisable only by him or her
and is not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and, in the case of Section 16 Officers, except as otherwise
permitted by Rule 16b-3 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act.
Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be
granted to employees of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The
Compensation Committee or the Officers' Stock Option Committee selects the
employees to whom options will be granted and determines the terms of each
option, as described above. In making such determination, the Compensation
Committee takes into account several factors including, but not limited to, the
responsibilities of the employee, his or her present and potential contributions
to the success of the Company and anticipated years of future service of the
employee. As of October 31, 1995, approximately 2,000 employees were eligible
to receive options under the Stock Option Plan. In fiscal 1995, the Company
granted options under the Stock Option Plan to approximately 1,100 of its
eligible employees to purchase a total of 3,077,050 shares. Options are
exercisable only during an optionee's term of employment, and for twelve months
after termination of employment as a result of death or permanent disability or
for three months after termination as a result of retirement. The options
terminate upon a reorganization, consolidation or merger of the Company if the
Company is not the survivor, and the survivor does not assume the options or
issue substitute options therefor, or upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, if an optionee is given the right, prior to termination, to exercise
any options held.
The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may terminate or
modify the Stock Option Plan at any time, provided that (i) the approval of the
stockholders of the Company is obtained to increase the aggregate number of
shares which may be issued under the Stock Option Plan, change the designation
of the employees or class of employees eligible to receive options under the
Stock Option Plan or materially increase the benefits accruing to participants
in the Stock Option Plan; (ii) neither the Board of Directors nor the
Compensation Committee takes any action to impair an optionee's rights or
increase his or her obligations with respect to any outstanding options without
the written consent of such optionee; and (iii) neither the Board of Directors
nor the Compensation Committee takes any action to cause any incentive stock
option granted under the Stock Option Plan to fail to qualify as an incentive
stock option under Section 422 of the Code.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a summary of the federal income tax treatment of
incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options granted under the Stock
Option Plan.
Incentive Stock Options. An optionee does not realize taxable income
upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option under the Stock Option
Plan. If no disposition of shares issued to an optionee pursuant to the
exercise of an incentive stock option is made by the optionee within two years
from the date of grant or within one year from the date of exercise, then (a)
upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option price (the
amount paid for the shares) is taxed to the optionee as long-term capital gain
and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss and (b) no deduction is
allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes. The exercise of
incentive stock options gives rise to an
14
<PAGE>
adjustment in computing alternative minimum taxable income that may result in
alternative minimum tax liability for the optionee.
If shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive
stock option are disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-year and one-
year holding periods described above (a "disqualifying disposition") then (a)
the optionee realizes ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount
equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares at exercise
(or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares) over the option
price thereof and (b) the Company is entitled to deduct such amount. Any
further gain realized is taxed as a short-term or long-term capital gain and
does not result in any deduction to the Company. A disqualifying disposition in
the year of exercise will generally avoid the alternative minimum tax
consequences of the exercise of an incentive stock option.
Non-qualified Stock Options. No income is realized by the optionee at
the time a non-qualified option is granted. Upon exercise, (a) ordinary income
is realized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the
option price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and
(b) the Company receives a tax deduction for the same amount. Upon disposition
of the shares, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is
treated as a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss and will not result in
any deduction by the Company.
APPROVAL OF 1996 DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
On November 17, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted,
subject to stockholder approval, the 1996 Director Plan of the Company which
will cover an aggregate of up to 90,000 shares of Common Stock. The 1996
Director Plan will replace the current 1992 Director Plan of the Company, which
expires on the date of the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The purpose of
the 1996 Director Plan is to attract and retain qualified persons, who are not
also officers or employees of the Company (the "Eligible Directors"), to serve
as directors of the Company and to encourage stock ownership in the Company by
such directors. Stockholder approval of the 1996 Director Plan is required.
The Board of Directors believes that the adoption and approval of the 1996
Director Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and
recommends a vote FOR this proposal.
ADMINISTRATION AND ELIGIBILITY
The 1996 Director Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock
options to purchase up to a maximum of 90,000 shares (subject to future
adjustment for stock splits and similar capital changes) of Common Stock to
Eligible Directors. On the date of the Annual Meeting, Messrs. Goldman (subject
to his election as a Class III director at the Annual Meeting), Grierson, Marx,
Posternak and Porter will be eligible to participate in the 1996 Director Plan.
Awards made under the 1996 Director Plan are intended to be "formula awards"
within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. Grants of options under
the 1996 Director Plan are automatic as described below. However, all questions
of interpretations with respect to the 1996 Director Plan are determined by the
Board of Directors.
PURCHASE TERMS AND PRICE
Options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock under the 1996
Director Plan are automatically granted to each Eligible Director at the time of
initial election to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting or otherwise.
In addition, immediately following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders each year,
each Eligible Director continuing in office after such meeting will
automatically be granted options to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock. The
options become exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year
following the date of grant, but only if the option holder is a director on that
anniversary date. Options have a term of ten years and an exercise price equal
to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the grant date, which will be
the closing price of the Company's Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock
Market on the date of grant. The closing price of the Company's Common Stock on
October 31, 1995 as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market was $66.875. The
exercise price may be paid in cash, certified or bank check or, if the option so
provides, in shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof.
15
<PAGE>
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
No taxable income will be recognized by the optionee upon the grant of
a stock option under the 1996 Director Plan. The optionee must recognize as
ordinary income in the year in which the option is exercised the amount by which
the fair market value of the purchased shares on the date of exercise exceeds
the exercise price. The Company will be entitled to a business expense
deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee.
Any additional gain or loss recognized upon the subsequent disposition of the
purchased shares will be a capital gain or loss, and will be a long-term gain or
loss if the shares are held for more than one year.
OPTIONS TO BE GRANTED
In accordance with the terms of the 1996 Director Plan, each of the
five directors and nominees for director who are eligible to participate in the
1996 Director Plan will automatically receive options to purchase 2,500 shares
of Common Stock. The grant to Mr. Goldman is subject to his election by the
stockholders as a Class III director at the Annual Meeting. The exercise price
of these options will be equal to the closing price of the Company's Common
Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of grant.
AMENDMENT AND MERGER OF PRIOR PLAN
The 1996 Director Plan constitutes an amendment and restatement of the
Company's 1992 Director Plan, which, if the 1996 Director Plan is approved by
the stockholders, will be superseded by the 1996 Director Plan. No additional
options will be granted under the 1992 Director Plan, but the rights and
privileges of holders of outstanding options under the 1992 Director Plan will
not be adversely affected by the foregoing action. For a description of the
grants under the 1992 Director Plan to the Company's current directors, see
"Director Compensation".
INFORMATION CONCERNING INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
On November 17, 1995 the Board of Directors of the Company upon
recommendation of its Audit Committee approved a change in the Company's
independent accountants from Price Waterhouse LLP to Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.
effective for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996.
Price Waterhouse LLP has served as the Company's independent
accountants for the four most recent fiscal years. During these periods, the
Company did not have any disagreements with Price Waterhouse LLP on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure, nor did any reports issued by Price Waterhouse LLP
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
Representatives of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. and Price Waterhouse LLP
are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the
opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will also be
available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters which may
come before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters are properly
presented to the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the
accompanying proxy to vote, or otherwise act, in accordance with their judgment

PARAMETRIC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
1996 DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
(Subject to stockholder adoption at the 1996 Annual meeting of Stockholders.)
1. PURPOSE.
This 1996 Director Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") governs options to
purchase Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of
Parametric Technology Corporation (the "Company") granted by the Company to
members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are not also officers or
employees of the Company. The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain
qualified persons to serve as Directors of the Company and to encourage
ownership of the Common Stock of the Company by such Directors.
2. ADMINISTRATION.
Grants of stock options under the Plan shall be automatic as provided in
Section 8. However, all questions of interpretation of the Plan or of any
options granted hereunder shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board"). Any and all powers of the Board under the Plan may be
exercised by a committee consisting of one or more Directors appointed by the
Board.
3. ELIGIBILITY.
Members of the Board who are not also officers or employees of the Company
shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.
4. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
Options may be granted under the Plan in respect of a maximum of 90,000
shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 below.
Shares to be issued upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan may be
either authorized but unissued shares or shares held by the Company in its
treasury. Whenever options under the Plan lapse or terminate or otherwise become
unexercisable, the shares of Common Stock which were available for such options
shall again be available for the grant of options under the Plan. The Company
shall at all times while the Plan is in force reserve such number of shares of
Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
5. ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES.
In the event of a stock dividend, split-up, combination or reclassification
of shares, recapitalization or other similar capital change relating to the
Company's Common Stock, the maximum aggregate number and kind of shares or
securities of the Company as to which options may be granted under this Plan and
as to which options then outstanding shall be exercisable, and
<PAGE>
the option price of such options shall be appropriately adjusted so that the
proportionate number of shares or other securities as to which options may be
granted and the proportionate interest of holders of outstanding options shall
be maintained as before the occurrence of such event.
In the event of any reorganization, consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party and in which the Company does not survive, or upon the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding options shall
terminate; provided, however, that (i) in the event of the liquidation or
-------- -------
dissolution of the Company, or in the event of any such reorganization,
consolidation or merger in which the Company does not survive and with respect
to which the resulting or surviving corporation does not assume such outstanding
option or issue a substitute option therefor, such option shall be exercisable
in full, without regard to any installment restrictions on exercise imposed
pursuant to this Plan or any Option Agreement, during such period preceding the
effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, consolidation
or merger (unless such option is terminated earlier by its terms) as may be
specified by the Board; and (ii) in the event of any such reorganization,
consolidation or merger, the Board may, in its good faith discretion, arrange to
have the resulting or surviving corporation assume such outstanding option or
issue a substitute option therefor.
No fraction of a share shall be purchasable or deliverable upon exercise of
an option, but, in the event any adjustment hereunder of the number of shares
covered by the option shall cause such number to include a fraction of a share,
such fraction shall be adjusted to the nearest smaller whole number of shares.
6. NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS.
All options granted under the Plan shall be non-statutory options not
entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
7. FORM OF OPTION AGREEMENTS.
Options shall be granted hereunder pursuant to the terms of Option
Agreements which shall be substantially in the form of the attached Exhibit A or
---------
in such other form as the Board may from time to time determine.
8. GRANT OF OPTIONS AND OPTION TERMS.
Automatic Grant of Options. Options to purchase Common Stock shall
automatically be granted as follows:
(i) Immediately following his or her election, each non-employee
director of the Company newly elected to the Board of Directors shall
automatically be granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock;
and
(ii) Immediately following the annual meeting of stockholders each
year, each non-employee director of the Company continuing in office after
such meeting shall automatically be granted options to purchase 2,500
shares of Common Stock.
2
<PAGE>
No options shall be granted hereunder after ten years from the date on which
this Plan was initially approved and adopted by the Board.
Date of Grant. The "Date of Grant" for options granted under this Plan
shall be (i) the date of the respective director's election, for each grant
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph and (ii) the date of the
respective annual meeting of stockholders, for each grant pursuant to clause
(ii) of the preceding paragraph.
Option Price. The option price for each option granted under this Plan
shall be the current fair market value of a share of Common Stock of the
Company, which, for this purpose, shall be the last sale price for the Company's
Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market, or the principal
exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded, as the case may be, for the
Date of Grant.
Term of Option. The term of each option granted under the Plan shall be ten
years from the Date of Grant.
Period of Exercise. Options granted under the Plan shall become exercisable
in four equal installments on each of the first, second, third and fourth
anniversaries of the Date of Grant if and only if the option holder is a member
of the Board at the opening of business on that anniversary date. Directors
holding exercisable options under the Plan who cease to serve as members of the
Board of the Company for any reason other than death may, for a period of seven
months following the date of cessation of service, exercise the rights they had
under such options at the time they ceased being a Director. Any rights that
have not yet become exercisable shall terminate upon cessation of membership on
the Board. Upon the death of a Director, those entitled to do so under the
Director's will or the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right, at
any time within twelve months after the date of death, to exercise in whole or
in part any rights which were available to the Director at the time of his
death. The rights of the option holder may be exercised by the holder's guardian
or legal representative in the case of disability and by the beneficiary
designated by the holder in writing delivered to the Company or, if none has
been designated, by the holder's estate or his or her transferee on death in
accordance with this Plan, in the case of death. Options granted under the Plan
shall terminate, and no rights thereunder may be exercised, after the expiration
of the applicable exercise period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no
rights under any options may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from
their Date of Grant.
Method of Exercise and Payment. Each exercise of an option hereunder may be
effected only by giving written notice, in the manner provided in Section 12
hereof, of intent to exercise the option, specifying the number of shares as to
which the option is being exercised, and accompanied by full payment of the
option price for the number of shares then being acquired. Such payment shall be
made in cash, by certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company,
credit to the Company's account at a financial or brokerage institution on the
date of exercise or a payment commitment of such an institution acceptable to
the Company, or if the option so provides, (i) in shares of Common Stock having
an aggregate Fair Market Value, at the time of such payment, equal to the total
option price for the number of shares of Common Stock
3
<PAGE>
for which payment is then being made, or (ii) partly in cash or by certified or
bank check payable to the order of the Company and the balance in shares of
Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, at the time of such payment,
equal to the difference between the total option price for the number of shares
of Common Stock for which payment is then being made and the amount of the
payment in cash or by certified or bank check. For purposes hereof, the "Fair
Market Value" of the Common Stock shall be the last sale price of the Common
Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market for the business day immediately
preceding the option exercise date.
Receipt by the Company of such notice and payment shall, for purposes of
this Plan, constitute exercise of the option or a part thereof. Within twenty
(20) days thereafter, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
optionee a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
then being purchased by the optionee. Such shares shall be fully paid and non-
assessable. If any law or applicable regulation of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or other public regulatory authority (including, but not limited to,
a stock exchange) shall require the Company or the optionee (i) to register or
qualify, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
any similar federal statute then in force or any state law regulating the sale
of securities, any shares of Common Stock covered by an option with respect to
which notice of intent to exercise shall have been delivered to the Company or
(ii) to take any other action in connection with such shares before issuance
thereof may be effected, then the delivery of the certificate or certificates
for such shares shall be postponed until completion of the necessary action,
which the Company shall take in good faith and without delay. All such action
shall be taken by the Company at its own expense.
To the extent determined necessary by counsel to the Company to comply with
any applicable law, the Company may require an individual exercising an option
to represent that his purchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such
exercise is for his own account, for investment and without a view to resale or
distribution, and that he will not sell or otherwise dispose of any such shares
except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement covering such
transaction filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in compliance
with all of the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, and the rules and
regulations thereunder, or (ii) an opinion of Company counsel that such
registration is not required.
Non-transferability. Options granted under the Plan shall not be
transferable by the holder thereof otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution or by such other means as may be permitted by Rule 16b-3 (or
any successor provision) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("Rule 16b-3").
9. LIMITATION OF RIGHTS.
No Right to Continue as a Director. Neither the Plan, nor the granting of
an option or any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute an
agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will retain an
optionee as a Director for any period of time or at any particular rate of
compensation.
4
<PAGE>
No Stockholders' Rights for Options. Directors shall have no rights as
stockholders with respect to the shares covered by their options until the date
they exercise such options and pay the option price to the Company, and no
adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date
is prior to the date such option is exercised and paid for.
10. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.
The Plan is subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or
represented and entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company's stockholders. In
the event such approval is not obtained, all options granted under this Plan
shall be void and without effect.
11. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.
The Board may amend or terminate this Plan at any time, provided that, to
the extent required to qualify the Plan for the exemption under Rule 16b-3, no
amendment may be made to change the eligibility or selection of Directors to
receive options, the timing of grants, or the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to the Plan or any option granted thereunder, other than as permitted by
such Rule, and this Plan shall not be amended more than once every six months,
other than to comport with changes in the Code or the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended or the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
12. NOTICES.
Any communication or notice required or permitted to be given under this
Plan shall be in writing and mailed by registered or certified mail or delivered
in hand, if to the Company, to its Corporate Counsel at Parametric Technology
Corporation, 128 Technology Drive, Waltham, Massachusetts 02154 and, if to an
optionee, to such address as the optionee shall last have furnished to the
Company.
13. GOVERNING LAW.
The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
As adopted by the Board of Directors
on November 17, 1995

1996 Director Stock Option Plan
1. This Option may be exercised from time to time in accordance with the
exercisability Schedule for up to the aggregate number of shares specified
herein, but in no event for the purchase of other than full shares; provided,
however, that this Option may not be exercised as to any shares after the

exercised against payment therefor in cash or by check, credit to the Company's
account at a financial or brokerage institution on the date of exercise or a
payment commitment of such an institution acceptable to the Company or by shares
of the Company's Common Stock, valued at their fair market value as of the date
of exercise as determined as provided in the Plan, or in any combination of
cash, check and shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock surrendered in
payment of the option price shall have been held by the person exercising the
option for at least six months unless otherwise permitted by the Board.
2. The Optionee shall not be deemed, for any purpose, to have any rights
whatever in respect of shares to which the Option shall not have been exercised
and payment made as aforesaid. The Optionee shall not be deemed to have any
rights to continued service as director by virtue of the grant of this Option.
3. In the event of stock dividend, split-up, combination or
reclassification of shares, recapitalization or other similar capital change
relating to the Common Stock, the maximum aggregate number and kind of shares of
securities of the Company subject to this Option and the exercise price of this
Option shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board (whose determination shall
be conclusive) so that the proportionate number of shares or other securities
subject to this Option and the proportionate interest of the Optionholder shall
be maintained as before the occurrence of such event.
4. In the event of any reorganization, consolidation or merger to which the
Company is a party and in which the Company does not survive, or upon the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, this option, to the extent
outstanding and unexercised, shall terminate; provided, however, that (i) in the
event of the liquidation of dissolution of the Company, or in the event of any
such reorganization, consolidation or merger in which the Company does not
survive and with respect to which the resulting or surviving corporation does
not assume such outstanding option or issue a substitute option herefor, this
option shall be exercisable in full, without regard to any installment
restrictions on exercise imposed pursuant to the Plan or this Option Agreement,
during such period preceding the effective date of such liquidation,
dissolution, reorganization, consolidation or merger (unless this option is
terminated earlier by its terms) as may be specified by the Board; and (ii) in
the event of any such reorganization, consolidation or merger, the Board may, in
its good faith discretion, arrange to have the resulting or surviving

other than death, the Optionee may, for a period of seven months following such
cessation of service, exercise the rights which the Optionee had hereunder at
the time the Optionee ceased being a director. Upon the death of the Optionee,
those entitled to do so shall have the right, at any time within twelve months
after the date of death (subject to the prior expiration of the Option exercise
period), to exercise in whole or in part any rights which were available to the
Optionee at the time of the Optionee's death. This Option shall terminate after
the expiration of the applicable exercise period.
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, no rights under this
Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date hereof.
7. It shall be a condition to the Optionee's right to purchase shares of
Common Stock hereunder that the Company may, in its discretion, require (a) that
the shares of Common Stock reserved for issue upon the exercise of this Option
shall have been duly listed, upon official notice of issuance, upon any national
securities exchange on which the Company's Common Stock may then be listed, (b)
that either (i) a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, with respect to said shares shall be in effect, or (ii) in the opinion
of counsel for the Company the proposed purchase shall be exempt from
registration under said Act and the Optionee shall have made such undertakings
and agreements with the Company as the Company may reasonably require, and (c)
that such other steps, if any, as counsel for the Company shall deem necessary
to comply with any law, rule or regulation applicable to the issue of such
shares by the Company shall have been taken by the Company or the Optionee, or
both. The certificates representing the shares purchased under this Option may
contain such legends as counsel for the Company shall deem necessary to comply
with any applicable law, rule or regulation.
8. Any exercise of this Option is conditioned upon the payment, if the
Company so requests, by the Optionee or such other person who may be entitled to
exercise this Option in accordance with the terms hereof, of all state and
federal taxes imposed upon the exercise of this Option and the issue to the
Optionee of the shares covered hereby.

Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
10. This Option is issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan. This

Board's determinations on the matters referred to in this Section 5 shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons concerned.
6. Eligibility. An Option may be granted only to an Eligible Participant
-----------
of any one or more of the Company and its subsidiaries. A director of any one or

of any one or more of the Company and its subsidiaries shall not be eligible to
receive an Option. An Optionee may hold more than one Option, but only on the
terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions herein set forth. No

7. Time of Granting Options. The granting of an Option shall take place

duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Optionee.
8. Option Price. The Option Price under each Option shall not be less
------------

provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an
- - -------- -------
individual who, on the Grant Date, owns stock possessing more than ten (10%)
percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or of a parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company (a "10%
Stockholder"), the Option Price shall not be less than 110 percent of the Fair
Market Value of the Stock on such Grant Date. The Fair Market Value of the
Stock at the time any Option is granted shall be determined by the Board after
considering all relevant information. In making any such determination, the
Board shall act in good faith so as to ensure that the Option Price is not less
than 100 percent (or 110 percent, if required) of such Fair Market Value.
9. Option Period. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or
-------------
times, whether or not in installments (which may be cumulative or non-
cumulative), as the Board may determine; and, in the case of an Option made
exercisable in installments, the Board may later
-3-
<PAGE>
determine to accelerate the time by which any one or more of such installments
may be exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option may be exercised
after the expiration of (i) ten years from the date such Option is granted, or
(ii) five years from the date such Option is granted, in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who, on the Grant Date, is a 10%
Stockholder.
10. Special Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the
------------------------------
contrary contained in this Plan the aggregate fair market value of the shares of
Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan or
under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or of a parent or
subsidiary corporation of the Company are exercisable for the first time by any
Eligible Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. For
purposes of this Section 10, the fair market value of the shares of Stock for
which any such Incentive Stock Option is granted shall be determined as of the
time of the granting of such Incentive Stock Option.
11. Exercise of Option; Investment Purpose. Each exercise of an Option
--------------------------------------
hereunder may be effected only giving written notice, in the manner provided in
Section 19 hereof, of intent to exercise the Option, specifying the number of
shares as to which the Option is being exercised, and accompanied by full
payment of the Option Price for the number of shares then being acquired. Such
payment shall be made in cash, by certified or bank check payable to the order
of the Company, credit to the Company's account at a financial or brokerage
institution on the date of exercise, or, if the Option so provides, (i) in
shares of the Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, at the time of such
payment, equal to the total Option Price for the number of shares of the Stock
for which payment is then being made, or (ii) partly in cash or by certified or
bank check payable to the order of the Company and the balance in shares of the
Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, at the time of such payment, equal
to the difference between the total Option Price for the number of shares of the
Stock for which payment is then being made and the amount of the payment in cash
or by certified or bank check; provided, however, that no part of the purchase
-------- -------
price for any shares of the Stock being purchased pursuant to an exercise of an
Option shall be paid in shares of the Stock which were previously acquired by
the Optionee (x) pursuant to an earlier exercise of such Option, or (y) pursuant
to the exercise of another incentive stock option granted by the Company if the
previously acquired shares have been held by the Optionee for less than two
years since the date of the granting of such other option to him or for less
than one year since the transfer to him of such previously acquired shares. The
determination of such aggregate Fair Market Value shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in this regard shall be final and binding on all concerned.
Receipt by the Company of such notice and payment shall, for purposes of
this Plan, constitute exercise of the Option or a part thereof. Within twenty
(20) days thereafter, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Optionee a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of the Stock
then being purchased by him. Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
If any law or applicable regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or
other public regulatory authority (including, but not limited to, a stock
-4-
<PAGE>
exchange) shall require the Company or the Optionee (a) to register or qualify,
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any similar federal statute then
in force or any state law regulating the sale of securities, any Option Shares
with respect to which notice of intent to exercise shall have been delivered to
the Company or (b) to take any other action in connection with such shares
before issuance thereof may be effected, then the delivery of the certificate or
certificates for such shares shall be postponed until completion of the
necessary action, which the Company shall take in good faith and without delay.
All such action shall be taken by the Company at its own expense.
The Company may require an individual exercising an Option to represent
that his purchase of shares of the Stock pursuant to such exercise is for his
own account, for investment and without a view to resale or distribution, and
that he will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of such shares except pursuant
to (i) an effective registration statement covering such transaction filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and in compliance with all of the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations thereunder, or (ii) an opinion of Company counsel that such
registration is not required.
12. Transferability of Options. Each Option granted hereunder shall not
--------------------------
be transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or, in the case of an officer (as defined in Section 16 of the
Exchange Act) or director of the Company, such other means as may be permitted
by Rule 16b-3 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act. Each Option
granted hereunder may be exercised, during the Optionee's lifetime, only by him
or her. In addition, Options granted to an officer (as defined in Section 16 of
the Exchange Act) or director of the Company shall not be transferable for a
period of six months following the grant Date. From and after the death of an
Optionee, each Option held by such Optionee at his death, to the extent then
exercisable, may be exercised prior to its termination by the person(s) to whom
the Optionee's option rights pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent
and distribution.
13. Termination of Engagement. In the event that an Optionee's Engagement
-------------------------
is terminated for any reason (voluntary or involuntary) and the period of
exercisability for a particular Option following such termination has not been
specified by the Board, each such Option then held by that Optionee shall expire
to the extent not previously exercised ten (10) days after such Optionee's
Engagement is terminated, except that -
------ ----
(a) If the Optionee is on military, sick leave or other bona fide
---- ----
leave of absence (such as temporary employment by the federal government),
his Engagement with the Company will be treated as continuing intact if the
period of such leave does not exceed ninety (90) days, or, if longer, so
long as the Optionee's right to reemployment or the survival of his or her
service arrangement with the Company is guaranteed either by statute or by
contract; otherwise, the Optionee's Engagement will be deemed to have
terminated on the 91st day of such leave.
-5-
<PAGE>
(b) If the Optionee's Engagement is terminated by reason of his
retirement from the Company, each Option then held by the Optionee, to the
extent exercisable at retirement, may be exercised by the Optionee at any
time within three (3) months after retirement unless terminated earlier by
its terms.
(c) If the Optionee's Engagement is terminated by reason of his
death, each Option then held by the Optionee, to the extent exercisable at
the date of death, may be exercised at any time within one year after that
date (unless terminated earlier by its terms) by the person(s) to whom the
Optionee's option rights pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent
and distribution.
(d) If the Optionee's Engagement is terminated by reason of his
becoming permanently and totally disabled, each Option then held by the
Optionee, to the extent exercisable upon the occurrence of permanent and
total disability, may be exercised by the Optionee at any time within one
(1) year after such occurrence unless terminated earlier by its terms. For
purposes hereof, an individual shall be deemed to be "permanently and
totally disabled" if he is unable to engage in any substantial gainful
activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental
impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or
can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve
(12) months. Any determination of permanent and total disability shall be
made in good faith by the Company on the basis of a report signed by a
qualified physician.
14. Adjustment of Number of Option Shares. Each Option Agreement shall
-------------------------------------
provide that, in the event of any stock dividend payable in the Stock or any
split-up or contraction in the number of shares of the Stock occurring after the
date of such Agreement and prior to the exercise in full of the Option covered
thereby, the number of shares subject to such Agreement and the price to be paid
for each share subject to such Option shall each be proportionately adjusted.
Each such Agreement shall also provide that, in case of any reclassification or
change of outstanding shares of the Stock occurring after the date of such
Agreement and prior to the exercise in full of the Option covered thereby, the
number and kind of shares of Stock subject to such Agreement and the price to be
paid for each share subject to such Option shall each be appropriately adjusted.
Each Option Agreement shall further provide that, in the event of any
reorganization, consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and in
which the Company does not survive, or upon the dissolution or liquidation of
the Company, the Option covered thereby shall terminate; provided, however, that
-------- -------
(i) in the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or in the
event of any such reorganization, consolidation or merger in which the Company
does not survive and with respect to which the resulting or surviving
corporation does not assume such Option or issue a substitute Option therefor,
such Option shall be exercisable in full, without regard to any installment
restrictions on exercise imposed pursuant to this Plan or such Option Agreement
(but subject to Section 10 hereof), during such period preceding the effective
date of such liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, consolidation or
-6-
<PAGE>
merger (unless such Option is terminated earlier by its terms) as may be
specified by the Board; and (ii) in the event of any such reorganization,
consolidation or merger, the Board may, in its good faith discretion, arrange to
have the resulting or surviving corporation assume such Option or issue a
substitute option therefor.
No fraction of a share shall be purchasable or deliverable upon exercise of
an Option, but, in the event any adjustment hereunder of the number of shares
covered by the Option shall cause such number to include a fraction of a share,
such fraction shall be adjusted to the nearest smaller whole number of shares.
In the event of changes in the outstanding Stock by reason of any stock
dividend, split-up, contraction, reclassification, or change of outstanding
shares of the Stock of the nature contemplated by this Section 14, the number of
shares of the Stock available for the purpose of the plan, as stated in Section
4, shall be correspondingly adjusted.
15. Reservation of Stock. The Company shall at all times during the term
--------------------
of this Plan and of the Options granted hereunder reserve and keep available
such number of shares of the Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of this Plan and shall pay all fees and expenses necessarily
incurred by the Company in connection therewith.
16. Limitation of Rights in the Option Shares. An Optionee shall not be
-----------------------------------------
deemed for any purpose to be a stockholder of the Company with respect to any of
his Option Shares except to the extent that the Option covering such Shares
shall have been exercised with respect thereto and, in addition, a certificate
shall have been issued therefor and delivered to the Optionee. No adjustment
shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash,
securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as provided
in Section 14.
Engagement Rights. Neither the adoption, maintenance nor operation of this
-----------------
Plan shall confer upon any Eligible Participant of the Company or of a parent or
subsidiary corporation of the Company any right with respect to the continuance
of his Engagement by any of such corporations, nor shall they interfere in any
way with the right of any of such corporations to terminate the Engagement of
any Eligible Participant.
17. Termination and Amendment of the Plan. The Board may at any time
-------------------------------------
terminate this Plan or make such modifications to the Plan as it shall deem
advisable, except that no amendment of this Plan shall (a) increase the
------ ----
aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be issued under this Plan (except
pursuant to Section 14), materially increase the benefits accruing to
participants in the Plan or make any change in the designation of the Eligible
Participants or class of Eligible Participants eligible to receive Options under
this Plan without the approval of the stockholders of the Company; (b) impair
the rights or increase the obligations of any Optionee under any Option
theretofore granted under this Plan without the written consent of such
Optionee; or (c) cause any Option at any time granted under this Plan to fail to
qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422A of the Code.

18. Notices. Any communication or notice required or permitted to be
-------
given under this Plan shall be in writing and mailed by registered or certified
mail or delivered in hand, if to the Company, to its Treasurer at Parametric
Technology Corporation, 128 Technology Drive, Waltham, Massachusetts 02154 and,
if to an Optionee, to such address as the Optionee shall last have furnished to
the communicating party.
