         permitted as a claim under applicable law) after the commencement of
         any bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings referred to in SECTION
         4, notwithstanding any provision or rule of law which might restrict
         the rights of any Lender, as against the Borrower or any other Person,
         to collect such interest in the manner and to the extent set forth in
         this Subordination Agreement, (ii) all renewals, extensions, increases,
         refinancings or refundings of such Obligations and (iii) all costs of
         enforcement and collection of such Obligations; and

         (ii) "SUBORDINATED DEBT" means all Indebtedness, obligations,
         liabilities, claims and other amounts of any nature or type now or
         hereafter owing to any Subordinated Creditor by any Subordinated Debtor
         or to any Subordinated Creditor by any other Subordinated Creditor or
         to any Subordinated Debtor by any other Subordinated Debtor in respect
         of the Intercompany Debt, interest thereon and fees in respect thereof,
         payable from time to time hereafter and any extensions, renewals,
         refinancings or refundings thereof in whole or in part.

     (b) Until an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall have occurred
     and be continuing, any Subordinated Debtor may make, and any Subordinated
     Creditor may ask, demand, accelerate, make any claim for, sue for, or
     otherwise seek to enforce, take or receive from such Subordinated Debtor,
     directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any
     other manner (including from or by way of collateral), payment of
     Subordinated Debt or interest and/or premium thereon or fees relating
     thereto.

         SECTION 2. NO SECURITY. The parties hereto agree that no Subordinated
Debtor will give, nor will any Subordinated Creditor receive or accept from any
Subordinated Debtor, any security interest in or Lien on any assets or
properties of any Subordinated Debtor, whether consensual or non-consensual, of
any nature whatsoever to secure any obligations arising in connection with
Subordinated Debt.

                                       2

         SECTION 3. TRUST; SECURITY AGREEMENT. Except with respect to payments
of Subordinated Debt permitted by CLAUSE (b) of SECTION 1, each Subordinated
Creditor will hold in trust for, and will promptly pay over to the Agent, all
amounts which such Subordinated Creditor receives on account of the Subordinated
Debt, and each Subordinated Creditor hereby assigns and pledges to the Agent for
its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and hereby grants to the
Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of each of the Lenders, a security
interest in any and all dividends, distributions and other amounts and all other
property (including any capital stock or other equity interest, collectively
referred to herein as "CAPITAL SECURITIES"), whether now or hereafter existing
or acquired by any Subordinated Creditor on account of the Subordinated Debt.
All amounts so paid, and all payments and distributions on account of the
Subordinated Debt received by the Agent pursuant to SECTION 4 hereof, shall be
applied to the payment of the Senior Debt, or, if in a form other than cash,
shall be held by the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders as security
for the Senior Debt and disposed of in accordance with the Loan Agreement and
applicable law. Upon the occurrence of the Senior Debt Termination Date, any
balance of such amounts or any security remaining in the hands of the Agent
shall be paid over to, reassigned and redelivered to the applicable Subordinated
Creditor, at its cost and expense.

         SECTION 4. DISSOLUTION OR INSOLVENCY. Upon any payment or distribution
of assets of any Subordinated Debtor of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or Capital Securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding up
or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of any Subordinated Debtor,
whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or
similar arrangement or other similar proceeding (each of the foregoing, a
"PROCEEDING"), all outstanding amounts in respect of the Senior Debt shall first
be indefeasibly paid in full in cash before any payment is made on account of
any component of the Subordinated Debt. Upon any such dissolution or winding up
or liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of assets of any
Subordinated Debtor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
Capital Securities, to which any Subordinated Creditor would be entitled except
for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by such Subordinated Debtor or by any
receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution on behalf of such Subordinated Debtor, or by
any Subordinated Creditor (if received by a Subordinated Creditor), directly to
the Agent to the extent necessary to pay the Senior Debt in cash in full, after
giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution made on account of the
Senior Debt, before any payment or distribution is made to any Subordinated
Creditor on account of the Subordinated Debt. For such purpose, each
Subordinated Creditor hereby assigns to the Agent all right, title, claim and
interest in and to any and all such payments and distributions on account of the
Subordinated Debt (each such right, title, claim and interest, a "CLAIM"). In
furtherance of the terms of this Subordination Agreement, each Subordinated
Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as such Subordinated Creditor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such
Subordinated Creditor and in the name of such Subordinated Creditor or
otherwise, from time to time in the Agent's discretion, to take any action and
to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Subordination Agreement (including the filing of
claims, proof of claim or other instrument of similar character by the Agent on
behalf (and in the name) of a Subordinated Creditor. Each Subordinated Creditor
hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted
pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Each
Subordinated Creditor shall execute and deliver to the Agent any instruments of
assignment or further assurance of such right, claim, title or interest as the
Agent may hereafter request. The Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and
empowered, at its election and in its own name or in the name of each
Subordinated Creditor, to execute and file any proof of claim or other document
and to take any and all action with respect to the Subordinated Debt necessary
or appropriate to ensure payment to the Agent of all such

                                       3
<Page>

payments and distributions made on account of the Subordinated Debt, and for
such purpose each Subordinated Creditor will upon the request of the Agent
assign or endorse and deliver to the Agent any instrument or instruments
hereafter held by such Subordinated Creditor evidencing Subordinated Debt, and
will execute and deliver or will cause to be executed and delivered any and all
affidavits, powers of attorney and other instruments and documents as may be
requested by the Agent for such purpose.

         SECTION 5. INSPECTION OF RECORDS. From time to time upon the request of
the Agent, each Subordinated Debtor will permit the Agent to inspect and to make
extracts from its books and records pertaining to any Subordinated Debt, and
each Subordinated Creditor will permit the Agent at all reasonable times to
examine the accounts of such Subordinated Creditor evidencing Subordinated Debt
and any other instrument or instruments hereafter held by such Subordinated
Creditor evidencing Subordinated Debt.

         SECTION 6. OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE, ETC. So long as any portion of the
Senior Debt remains outstanding, or the Loan Agreement has not been terminated,
this Subordination Agreement and all rights of the Lenders and all obligations
and duties of each Subordinated Debtor and each Subordinated Creditor hereunder
shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any action which any
Lender or the Borrower, without notice to or consent of any Subordinated
Creditor, may take or refrain from taking with respect to the Senior Debt,
including (i) any amendment, modification, waiver, extension, increase or
renewal of the Senior Debt or any part thereof or of any instrument or
instruments now or hereafter evidencing the Senior Debt or any part thereof or
of any agreement or agreements (including any Financing Document) now or
hereafter entered into by the Lenders and the Borrower pursuant to which the
Senior Debt or any part thereof is issued or governed, (ii) any change in the
amount, manner or place of payment of, rate of interest on, or in any other term
of, the Senior Debt or any part thereof or any release, compliance or settlement
with respect thereto, (iii) any forbearance or agreement of forbearance with
respect to the Senior Debt, (iv) any substitution, release, non-perfection,
exchange, indulgence, forbearance or other action or dealing with respect to any
collateral security for the Senior Debt, whether such collateral is now or
hereafter existing, (v) any extension of additional credit to the Borrower by
the Lenders, it being understood that all such additional credit will become
Senior Debt for purposes of this Subordination Agreement, (vi) any lack of
validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or
any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or (vii) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Borrower, any other Subordinated Debtor or any Subordinated
Creditor.

         SECTION 7. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments and distributions
received by the Agent in respect of the Subordinated Debt, to the extent
received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Agent, first to the
payment of any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees and legal expenses)
paid or incurred by the Lenders in enforcing or collecting the Senior Debt, in
enforcing this Subordination Agreement, or in endeavoring to collect or realize
upon any of the Subordinated Debt, and any balance thereof shall, solely as
between the Subordinated Creditors and the Agent (except as may be otherwise
provided in the Loan Agreement), be applied by the Agent in such order of
application as the Agent may from time to time select, toward the payment of the
Senior Debt remaining unpaid; but, as between the Subordinated Debtors and the
Subordinated Creditors (other than the Agent and the Lenders), no such payments
or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or
distributions in respect of the Subordinated Debt.

         SECTION 8. SUBROGATION. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that no
payment or distribution to the Agent shall entitle such Subordinated Creditor to
exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof

                                       4
<Page>

until the Senior Debt Termination Date has occurred. Each Subordinated Creditor
agrees that the subordination provisions contained herein shall not be affected
by any action, or failure to act by any Lender which results, or may result, in
affecting, impairing or extinguishing any right of reimbursement or subrogation
or other right or remedy of any Subordinated Creditor.

         SECTION 9. WAIVERS BY EACH SUBORDINATED CREDITOR. Except as may be
otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, each Subordinated Creditor hereby
waives: (a) notice of acceptance of this Subordination Agreement by any Lender
or any other holder of Senior Debt, (b) notice of the existence, or creation or
non-payment of all or any portion of, the Senior Debt and (c) all diligence in
collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Debt, or any part
thereof, or any security therefor.

         SECTION 10. NO COMMENCEMENT OF ANY PROCEEDING. Each Subordinated
Creditor agrees that, until the Senior Debt Termination Date has occurred, it
will not commence, or join with any creditor other than the Agent (if the Agent
specifically approves in writing) in commencing, any Proceeding or otherwise
making any Claim.

         SECTION 11. SUBORDINATION LEGEND; FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each Subordinated
Creditor and each Subordinated Debtor will cause any promissory note evidencing
Subordinated Debt to be endorsed with the following legend:

     "The indebtedness evidenced by this instrument is subordinated to the prior
     payment in full in cash of the Senior Debt, as defined in, and to the
     extent provided in, the Intercompany Subordination Agreement dated as of
     November 9, 2001 by (among others), the maker hereof and payee named herein
     in favor of Fleet National Bank, as Agent for the Lenders (as such terms
     are defined in, or by reference in, such Intercompany Subordination
     Agreement), as amended from time to time."

Each Subordinated Creditor and each Subordinated Debtor each will mark its books
of account in such a manner as shall be effective to give proper notice of the
effect of this Subordination Agreement and will, in the case of any Subordinated
Debt which is not evidenced by any instrument, upon the Agent's request, cause
such Subordinated Debt to be evidenced by an appropriate instrument or
instruments endorsed with the above legend. Each Subordinated Creditor and each
Subordinated Debtor will, at its expense and at any time and from time to time,
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all
further action that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Agent
may request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to
be granted hereby or to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder.

         SECTION 12.  NO CHANGE IN OR DISPOSITION OF SUBORDINATED DEBT.  No
Subordinated Creditor will:

         (a) sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any or any
     part of any Subordinated Debt to any Person or entity other than the
     Subordinated Debtors or any other Subordinated Creditor or any of their
     respective Subsidiaries that has executed and delivered to the Agent this
     Subordination Agreement;

         (b) take or permit to be taken, any action to assert, collect or
     enforce any Subordinated Debt or any part thereof, except in accordance
     with this Subordination Agreement and only as to that portion of the
     Subordinated Debt, if any, to which the Subordinated Creditors are
     entitled; or

                                       5
<Page>

         (c) permit the terms of any of the Subordinated Debt to be changed in
     such a manner as to have an adverse effect upon the rights or interests of
     any holder of Senior Debt.

         SECTION 13.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Each Subordinated
Creditor and each Subordinated Debtor hereby represent and warrant as follows:

         (a) No default exists in respect of any Subordinated Debt.

         (b) This Subordination Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
     by it and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each
     Subordinated Debtor and each Subordinated Creditor, enforceable against
     each Subordinated Debtor and each Subordinated Creditor in accordance with
     its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by the
     effect of general principles of equity and bankruptcy and similar laws
     affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally.

         (c) Each Subordinated Creditor owns the outstanding Subordinated Debt
     free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Encumbrances.

         SECTION 14. CONSTRUCTION, ETC. This Subordination Agreement is a Loan
Document executed pursuant to the Loan Agreement and shall (unless otherwise
expressly indicated herein) be construed, administered and applied in accordance
with the terms and provisions thereof.

         SECTION 15. BINDING ON SUCCESSORS, TRANSFEREES AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENT.
This Subordination Agreement shall be binding upon each Subordinated Debtor and
each Subordinated Creditor and their respective permitted successors,
transferees and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable,
except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by the effect of general
principles of equity and bankruptcy and similar laws affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors generally, by each Lender and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Subordinated Debtor or
Subordinated Creditor may assign any of its obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Majority Lenders.

         SECTION 16. AMENDMENTS, ETC. No amendment to or waiver of any provision
of this Subordination Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any
Subordinated Debtor or any Subordinated Creditor herefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent (with the
consent of the Majority Lenders), and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.

         SECTION 17. ADDRESSES FOR NOTICES. All notices and other communications
provided to any Subordinated Debtor or any Subordinated Creditor under this
Subordination Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be in writing and
given to the Borrower, and all notices and other communications provided to the
Agent under this Subordination Agreement shall be in writing and given to the
Agent at, in each case, the address or facsimile number provided, and otherwise
in accordance with Section 9.6 of the Loan Agreement.

         SECTION 18. NO WAIVER; REMEDIES. No failure on the part of the Agent to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.

                                       6

         SECTION 19. SECTION CAPTIONS. Section captions used in this
Subordination Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not
affect the construction of this Subordination Agreement.

         SECTION 20. SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible each provision of this
Subordination Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Subordination
Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Subordination Agreement.

         SECTION 21. EXPENSES. Each Subordinated Creditor and each Subordinated
Debtor jointly and severally agree to pay, upon demand, to the Agent any and all
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements, which any Lender may incur in connection with the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights or interest of any Lender hereunder.

         SECTION 22. GOVERNING LAW, ENTIRE AGREEMENT, ETC. This Subordination
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its conflicts of law rules. This
Subordination Agreement constitutes the entire understanding among the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior
agreements, written or oral, with respect hereto.

         SECTION 23. FORUM SELECTION AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. Any litigation
based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this
Subordination Agreement, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements
(whether oral or written) or actions of any lender, any Subordinated Debtor or
any Subordinated Creditor may be brought and maintained in any federal or state
court sitting in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any
suit seeking enforcement against any property may be brought, at the Agent's
option, in the courts of any jurisdiction where such property may be found. Each
Subordinated Debtor and each Subordinated Creditor hereby expressly and
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of all federal and state
courts of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the purpose of any such
litigation as set forth above and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment
rendered thereby in connection with such litigation. Each Subordinated Debtor
and Subordinated Creditor which is a Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints the
Borrower (in such capacity, the "PROCESS AGENT"), with an office on the date
hereof at 293 Boston Post Road West, Marlboro, Massachusetts 01752-4615, United
States of America, as its agent to receive, on such Subordinated Debtor's and
Subordinated Creditor's behalf and on behalf of such Subordinated Debtor's and
Subordinated Creditor's property, service of copies of the summons and complaint
and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding. Such
service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to such
Subordinated Debtor and Subordinated Creditor in care of the process agent at
the process agent's above address, and each such Subordinated Debtor and
Subordinated Creditor irrevocably authorizes and directs the process agent to
accept such service on its behalf. Each Subordinated Debtor and each
Subordinated Creditor further irrevocably consents to the service of process by
registered mail, postage prepaid, or by personal service within or without The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each Subordinated Debtor and each Subordinated
Creditor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection which it may have or hereafter may have to the
laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court referred to
above and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. To the extent that any Subordinated Debtor or any Subordinated Creditor
has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from
any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to

                                       7
<Page>

judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or
its property, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its
obligations under this Subordination Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         SECTION 24. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH SUBORDINATED DEBTOR AND EACH
SUBORDINATED CREDITOR EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS
SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS
(WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY LENDER, ANY SUBORDINATED DEBTOR OR
ANY SUBORDINATED CREDITOR. EACH SUBORDINATED DEBTOR AND EACH SUBORDINATED
CREDITOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT
CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR THE CONTINUING PROVISION OF FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS BY THE
LENDERS UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

         SECTION 25. ADDITIONAL PARTIES. Upon the execution and delivery by any
other Person of a supplement in the form of ANNEX I hereto, such Person shall
become either a "Subordinated Debtor," a "Subordinated Creditor" or both
hereunder with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party to
this Subordination Agreement and named as a "Subordinated Debtor," a
"Subordinated Creditor" or both hereunder. The execution and delivery of any
such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereto, and the
rights and obligations of each party hereto hereunder shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new "Subordinated Debtor" or
"Subordinated Creditor" as a party to this Subordination Agreement.

         SECTION 26. Counterparts. This Subordination Agreement may be executed
in a number of identical counterparts, each of which is deemed an original for
all purposes and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement.

                            [SIGNATURE PAGES FOLLOW]

                               EXHIBIT 5.2.12.1

                              PERMITTED INVESTMENTS

1. In connection with the merger of PADS Software, Inc. and Borrower, Borrower
acquired a promissory note issued by Richard Almeida, an employee of PADS, to
PADS in the amount of $100,000. Innoveda then accepted a revised promissory note
from Mr. Almeida in favor of Innoveda. The loan is due and payable in October
2002 or sooner if Mr. Almeida resigns his employment at Innoveda or his
employment is terminated by Innoveda for cause. If Mr. Almeida remains in the
employ of Innoveda until October 2002, the loan is forgiven.

2. In September 2001, Innoveda amended the promissory notes with Messrs. Herman,
Lucier, O'Brien and Johnson and Ms. Cassidy to eliminate the requirement that
such notes become due and payable on "The date which is eighteen months after
the first date, if any, on which the common stock of Viewlogic Systems, Inc. (or
any security substituted therefor) is listed on a national securities exchange
or the NASDAQ stock market".
