                      GENZYME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION 
       These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
       read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Genzyme
       Corporation ("Genzyme" or the "Company") for the fiscal year ended
       December 31, 1996 and the financial statements and footnotes included
       therein. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
       in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
       accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
       Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Certain items
       in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with
       the 1997 presentation.
        
       The financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
       1996 are unaudited but include, in management's opinion, all adjustments
       (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
       presentation of the results for the periods presented.

2.     ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
       The accounting policies underlying the quarterly financial statements
       are those set forth in Note A of the financial statements included in
       the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
       1996 (the "1996 10-K").

       The Company has elected to delay the annual distribution of GTR 
       Designated Shares to holders of record of GGD Stock, as described in the
       1996 10-K, until June 30, 1997.

4.     PHARMAGENICS CREDIT FACILITY 
       As previously reported in the 1996 10-K, in January 1997, Genzyme signed
       a definitive merger agreement providing for the merger of PharmaGenics,
       Inc. ("PharmaGenics") with and into Genzyme in exchange for 4,000,000
       shares of a new Genzyme security to be designated Genzyme Molecular
       Oncology Common Stock. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Genzyme
       has made a credit facility (the "Credit Facility") available to
       PharmaGenics to fund PharmaGenics's documented operating costs. In
       February, March and May 1997, PharmaGenics borrowed $1.0 million, $0.7
       million and $0.8 million, respectively, under the Credit Facility having
       provided Genzyme with a projected cash disbursements list of operating
       costs for the months of February, March, April and May. As of March 31,
       1997, Genzyme has recorded $1.7 million of these borrowings as an
       increase to Other noncurrent assets and will record the remaining $0.8
       million of borrowings in May 1997.
       
5.     REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY 
       Genzyme has a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility")
       with a syndicate of commercial banks administered by Fleet National Bank
       in the amount of $225.0 million. Amounts drawn under this facility may be
       allocated to either Genzyme General or Genzyme Tissue Repair. In January
       1997, Genzyme General repaid $100.0 million of its outstanding debt under
       this credit facility and related accrued interest of $2.0 million. As of
       March 31, 1997, the Company had $118.0 million of debt outstanding under
       the Revolving Credit Facility, which had been allocated $100.0 million to
       Genzyme General and $18.0 million to Genzyme Tissue Repair.
        
6.     GENZYME TISSUE REPAIR PRIVATE PLACEMENT 
       On February 28, 1997, Genzyme Tissue Repair raised $13 million through
       the private placement of a 5% convertible note (the "Note"), to an
       affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston due February 27, 2000. The Note
       is convertible beginning May 29, 1997 into shares of GTR Stock and,
       beginning August 1997, at a discount to the average of the closing bid
       prices of the GTR  Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the 25 trading
       days immediately preceding the conversion date (the "Average GTR Stock
       Price"). The  discount will start at 2% beginning six months from the
       date the Note was issued and will increase to 11%, at various intervals,
       at 15 months after the date of issue. Thereafter, the conversion price
       will be the lesser of 89% of the Average GTR Stock Price preceding the
       conversion date or the date 15 months after the date of issue. In the
       first quarter of 1997, Genzyme Tissue Repair recorded $11.5 million of
       proceeds attributed to the value of the debt and $1.5 million attributed
       to the value of the conversion feature (recorded as an increase to
       division equity). The $11.5 million will be accreted to the face value of
       the debt by a charge to earnings available to common stockholders over
       the initial 15 month conversion period.

7.     JOINT VENTURE WITH GENZYME DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, L.P. ("GDP")
       Genzyme consolidates 100% of the losses generated by the joint venture
       (the "Joint Venture") with GDP to manufacture and market a line of
       products based on hyaluronic acid ("HA") for use in limiting the
       formation of post-operative adhesions (the "Sepra Products"). For the
       quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Joint Venture incurred net losses of
       approximately $0.7 million, due primarily to the costs associated with
       the U.S. market introduction of the first Sepra Product, Seprafilm [TM].


                                      -9-

8.     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES 
       The tax provision for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 varies from the
       U.S. statutory tax rate because of the provision for state income taxes,
       nondeductible intangible amortization, losses of unconsolidated
       affiliates, benefits from operating loss carryforwards and nondeductible
       charges in connection with tax-free acquisitions. The effective tax rate
       was 39.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 38%
       for the corresponding period in 1996. The increase in the rate was due
       to higher nondeductible intangible amortization and to lower benefits
       from available operating loss carryforwards.

9.     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT 
       In February 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
       Per Share". SFAS No. 128 establishes a different method of computing net
       income per share than is currently required under the provisions of the
       Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 ("APB 15"). Under SFAS No.
       128, Genzyme will be required to present both basic net income per share
       and diluted net income per share attributable to GGD Stock and GTR Stock
       (the principal difference being that common stock equivalents would not
       be considered in the computation of basic EPS). Basic net income (loss)
       per share for Genzyme General for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 
       March 31, 1996 would have been $0.28 and $0.30 per share, respectively.
       Basic loss per share data for Genzyme Tissue Repair for the quarter 
       ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 would have been $(0.90) and $(0.71), 
       respectively, the same as loss per share for each respective period 
       computed under the provisions of APB 15. The impact of SFAS No. 128 on 
       the calculation of diluted net income per share for these quarters is 
       not expected to be material. Genzyme plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in its
       fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1997 and at that time all historical
       net income per share data presented will be restated to conform to the
       provisions of SFAS No. 128.
        
10.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 
       In April 1997, the Genzyme Board voted, subject to approval of the
       stockholders, to adopt an amendment to the Company's 1990 Employee Stock
       Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") and an amendment to the Company's
       1988 Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") which would
       increase (i) the number of shares of GGD Stock available for purchase 
       under the Purchase Plan by 500,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares and (ii) 
       the number of shares of GGD Stock and GTR Stock available for issuance 
       under the Director Plan by 33,600 shares and 30,000 shares, respectively,
       to 233,600 shares of GGD Stock and 100,000 shares of GTR Stock. 
        
       On May 5, 1997, the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel of the
       U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (the "FDA") Medical Devices Advisory
       Committee recommended that Genzyme General not be granted approval to
       market Sepracoat[TM] coating solution for the reduction of adhesions in
       abdominal and pelvic surgery. Sepracoat[TM] is a liquid formulation of
       HA designed to reduce adhesion formation caused by indirect trauma,
       such as incidental abrasions from tissue handling or tissue drying due
       to exposure and is currently marketed in Europe by Genzyme. The panel
       agreed that the product appears to be safe, but indicated that Genzyme
       had not presented sufficient evidence of clinical effectiveness. The
       panel's recommendation will be considered in the FDA's final review of
       Genzyme's premarket approval application for Sepracoat [TM]. The
       recommendation is not binding on the FDA, but the agency usually follows
       the advice of its panels. The panel's recommendation does not affect
       Seprafilm[TM], which received FDA approval in August 1996 and is
       marketed globally. Genzyme is considering options for further clinical
       studies of Sepracoat[TM], possibly in combination with Seprafilm[TM].

                               GENZYME GENERAL
          NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     These unaudited, condensed, combined financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the 1996 10-K and the financial statements and footnotes
     for Genzyme General included therein. Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission
     rules and regulations. Certain items in the 1996 financial statements have
     been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation.

     The financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
     are unaudited but include, in management's opinion, all adjustments
     (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
     presentation of the results for the periods presented.

4.   PHARMAGENICS CREDIT FACILITY 
     As previously reported in the 1996 Genzyme 10-K, in January 1997, Genzyme
     signed a definitive merger agreement providing for the merger of
     PharmaGenics, Inc. ("PharmaGenics") with and into Genzyme in exchange for
     4,000,000 shares of a new Genzyme security to be designated Genzyme
     Molecular Oncology Common Stock. Under the terms of the merger agreement,
     Genzyme had made a credit facility (the "Credit Facility") available to
     PharmaGenics to fund PharmaGenics's documented operating costs. In
     February, March and May 1997, PharmaGenics borrowed $1.0 million, $0.7
     million and $0.8 million, respectively, under the Credit Facility having
     provided Genzyme with a projected cash disbursements list of operating
     costs for the months of February, March, April and May. As of March 31,
     1997, Genzyme General has recorded $1.7 million of these borrowings as an
     increase to Other noncurrent assets and will record the remaining $0.8
     million of borrowings in May 1997.
        
5.   REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
     Genzyme's $225.0 million Revolving Credit Facility may be used by either
     Genzyme General or Genzyme Tissue Repair. In January 1997, Genzyme General
     repaid $100 million of its outstanding debt under the Revolving Credit
     Facility and related accrued interest of $2.0 million. As of March 31,
     1997, the Company had $118.0 million of debt outstanding under the
     Revolving Facility, which had been allocated $100.0 million to Genzyme
     General and $18.0 million to Genzyme Tissue Repair.

6.   SUBLEASE OF GENZYME TISSUE REPAIR BUILDING TO GENZYME GENERAL




                                      -17-
<PAGE>   18


     In January 1997, Genzyme Tissue Repair leased to Genzyme General certain
     laboratory and office space in the building located at Genzyme Tissue
     Repair's Framingham, Massachusetts facility for a 3-year term which
     commenced January 1, 1997. Genzyme General is leasing approximately half of
     the facility at a cost of $839,808 per year. Beginning on July 1, 1997, 
     Genzyme Tissue Repair has the option of requiring Genzyme General to
     assume responsibility for an additional 20% of the facility at GTR's
     cost of $424,056 per year.

7.   JOINT VENTURE
     Genzyme consolidates 100% of the losses generated by the Joint Venture
     with GDP. For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Joint Venture 
     incurred net losses of approximately $0.7 million, due primarily to the
     costs associated with the U.S. market introduction of Seprafilm[TM].

8.   PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES 
     The tax provision for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 varies from the
     U.S. statutory tax rate because of the provision for state income taxes,
     Genzyme General's share of losses of subsidiaries which generate no
     current tax benefit, tax credits and taxes on foreign earnings. The
     effective tax rate was 38.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a
     slight increase over the corresponding period in 1996. The allocated tax
     benefit generated by GTR of $4.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively,
     reduced Genzyme General's tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
     1997 and 1996 to 22.4% and 24.9%, respectively.

9.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
     In February 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".
     SFAS No. 128 establishes a different method of computing net income per
     share than is currently required under the provisions of the Accounting
     Principles Board Opinion No. 15 ("APB 15"). Under SFAS No. 128, Genzyme
     will be required to present both basic net income per share and diluted net
     income per share attributable to GGD Stock and GTR Stock (the principal
     difference being that Common Stock equivalents would not be considered in
     computation of basic EPS). Basic net income (loss) per share for Genzyme
     General for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 would have
     been $0.28 and $0.30 per share, respectively. The impact of SFAS No. 128 on
     the calculation of diluted net income per share for these quarters is not
     expected to be material. Genzyme plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in its fiscal
     quarter ending December 31, 1997 and at that time all historical net income
     per share data presented will be restated to conform to the provisions of
     SFAS No. 128.

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
     In April 1997, the Genzyme Board voted, subject to approval of the
     stockholders, to adopt an amendment to the Company's 1990 Employee Stock
     Purchase Plan and an amendment to the Director Plan which would increase 
     (i) the number of shares of GGD Stock, available for purchase under the 
     Purchase Plan by 500,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares and (ii) the number of
     shares of GGD Stock and GTR Stock available for issuance under the 
     Director Plan by 33,600 shares and 30,000 shares, respectively, to 
     233,600 shares of GGD Stock and 100,000 shares of GTR Stock. 
     
     On May 5, 1997, the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel of the FDA's
     Medical Devices Advisory Committee recommended that Genzyme not be granted
     approval to market Sepracoat[TM] coating solution for the reduction of
     adhesions in abdominal and pelvic surgery. Sepracoat[TM] is a liquid
     formulation of HA designed to reduce adhesion formation caused by indirect
     trauma, such as incidental abrasions from tissue handling or tissue drying
     due to exposure and is currently marketed in Europe by Genzyme. The panel
     agreed that the product appears to be safe but indicated that Genzyme had
     not presented sufficient evidence of clinical effectiveness. The panel's
     recommendation will be considered in the FDA's final review of Genzyme
     General's premarket approval application for Sepracoat[TM]. The
     recommednation is not binding on the FDA, but the agency usually follows
     the advice of its panels. The panel's recommendation does not affect the
     first Sepra Product, Seprafilm[TM], which received FDA approval in August
     1996 and is marketed globally. Genzyme is considering options for further
     clinical studies of Sepracoat[TM], possibly in combination with
     Seprafilm[TM].

4.   REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
     Genzyme's $225.0 million Revolving Credit Facility may be used by either   
     Genzyme General or Genzyme Tissue Repair. As of March 31, 1997, the
     Company had $118 million of debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit
     Facility, which had been allocated $100.0 million to Genzyme General and
     $18.0 million to Genzyme Tissue Repair.

5.   GENZYME TISSUE REPAIR PRIVATE PLACEMENT
     On February 28, 1997, Genzyme Tissue Repair raised $13 million through the
     private placement of a 5% convertible note (the "Note"), to an affiliate of
     Credit Suisse First Boston due February 27, 2000. The Note is convertible
     beginning May 29, 1997 into shares of GTR Stock and beginning August 1997
     at a discount to the average of the closing bid prices of the GTR Stock on
     the Nasdaq National Market for the 25 trading days immediately preceding
     the conversion date (the "Average GTR Stock Price"). The discount will
     start at 2% beginning six months from the date the note was issued and will
     increase to 11%, at various intervals, at 15 months after the date of
     issue. Thereafter, the conversion price will be the lesser of 89% of the
     Average GTR Stock Price preceding the conversion date or the date 15 months
     after the date of issue. In the first quarter of 1997, GTR recorded $11.5
     million of proceeds attributable to the value of the debt and $1.5 million
     attributed to the value of the conversion feature (recorded as an increase
     to division equity). The $11.5 million will be accreted to the face value
     of the debt by a charge to earnings available to common stockholders over
     the initial 15 month conversion period.

6.   SUBLEASE OF GENZYME TISSUE REPAIR BUILDING TO GENZYME GENERAL
     In January 1997, Genzyme Tissue Repair leased to Genzyme General certain
     laboratory and office space in the building located at Genzyme Tissue
     Repair's Framingham, Massachusetts facility for a 3-year term which
     commenced January 1, 1997. Genzyme General is leasing approximately half of
     the facility at a cost of $839,808 per year. Beginning on July 1, 1997,
     Genzyme Tissue Repair has the option of requiring Genzyme General to assume
     responsibility for an additional 20% of the facility at GTR's cost of
     $424,056 per year.

7.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
     Per Share." SFAS No. 128 establishes a different method of computing net
     income per share than is currently required under the provision of the
     Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 ("APB 15"). Under SFAS No. 128,
     Genzyme will be required to present both basic net income (loss) per share
     and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to GCD Stock and GTR 
     Stock (the principal difference being that common stock equivalents would
     not be considered in the computation of basic EPS). Basic loss per share
     data for GTR Stock for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 would
     have been $(0.90) and $(0.71), respectively, the same as loss per share
     for each respective period computed under the provisions of APB 15.  
     Genzyme plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in its fiscal quarter ending December
     31, 1997 and at that time all historical net income per share data
     presented will be restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128
  
8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT
     In April 1997, the Genzyme Board voted, subject to approval of the
     stockholders, to adopt an amendment to the Director Plan which would
     increase the number of shares of GGD Stock, and GTR Stock, available for
     issuance under the Director Plan by 33,600 shares and 30,000 shares,
     respectively, to 233,600 shares.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

The following discussion is a summary of the key factors management considers 
necessary in reviewing the Company's results of operations, liquidity and 
capital resources. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   GENZYME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Since the operating results of Genzyme and its subsidiaries reflect the combined
operations of Genzyme General Division ("Genzyme General") and Genzyme Tissue
Repair Division ("Genzyme Tissue Repair"), this discussion summarizes the key
factors management considers necessary in reviewing Genzyme's consolidated
results of operations. Detailed discussion and analysis of each Division's
results of operations are provided below under separate headings.

REVENUES. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $146.6
million, an increase of 29% over the corresponding period in 1996. Product
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 consist of product sales
by Genzyme General and increased 38% to $128.2 million from $92.8 million for
the corresponding period in 1996. The increase was due primarily to the 
addition of sales through the acquisition of Deknatel Snowden Pencer, Inc.
("DSP"), which was acquired in July 1996, and to increased sales of Ceredase[R]
enzyme and Cerezyme[R] enzyme.

Service revenues consist of sales of genetic testing services by Genzyme        
Genetics and sales of Genzyme Tissue Repair's CARTICEL[R] and Epicel [SM]
Services. Service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
were $16.7 million and $14.6 million, respectively, an increase of 15%. The
increase was due to higher unit volumes attributable to the acquisition of
Genetrix, Inc. ("Genetrix"), which was added to Genzyme Genetics's operations
from May 1996 forward, and to changes in service pricing and was offset by the
loss of revenues from Genzyme Genetics's identity testing services laboratory,
Genetic Design, Inc. ("GDI"), which was sold in November 1996.

Revenues from research and development contracts for the three months ended     
March 31, 1997 were attributable entirely to Genzyme General and decreased 72%
to $1.7 million, as compared to $6.1 million, for the corresponding period in
1996. The decrease resulted primarily from the loss of revenue from Neozyme
II Corporation ("Neozyme II"), which was acquired by Genzyme in the fourth 
quarter of 1996 and which provided $5.4 million for the first quarter of 1996.

MARGINS AND OPERATING EXPENSES. Gross margins increased to 60% from 59% for the
quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Product margins were
64% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, level with the first quarter of 1996.
Service margins were 27% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, level with the
first quarter of 1996.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months    
ended March 31, 1997 were $47.3 million, an increase of 26% over the same
period in 1996. The increase resulted primarily from the acquisitions of
Genetrix and DSP and increased staffing in support of the growth in several
product lines, most notably in support of the North American introduction of
Seprafilm[TM] and increased surgeon training costs related to Carticel[R].

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were
$20.1 million, an increase of 14% over the same period in 1996 due to Genzyme
General's commitment to fund development costs of the antithrombin III ("AT
III") program being conducted by Genzyme Transgenics Corporation ("GTC").

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES. Other income and expenses decreased substantially
due to the combined effect of a 44% decrease in investment income to 
$2.5 million and increases in interest expense and Genzyme's equity in the net
losses of GTC and Diacrin/Genzyme LLC. Interest expense for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 was $2.7 million, as compared to $0.2 million for the same period
of 1996. The increase resulted from interest on funds borrowed in 1996 to
finance portions of the acquisitions of DSP and Neozyme II.


The tax provision for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 varies from the U.S.
statutory tax rate because of the provision for state income taxes,
nondeductible intangible amortization, losses of unconsolidated affiliates,
benefits from operating loss carryforwards and nondeductible charges in
connection with tax-free acquisitions. The effective tax rate was 39.5% for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 38% for the corresponding
period in 1996. The increase in the rate was due to higher nondeductible
intangible amortization and to lower benefits from available operating loss 
carryforwards.

  GENZYME GENERAL

REVENUES. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $144.6
million, an increase of 29% over the corresponding period in 1996. Product and
service revenues were $142.9 million, an increase of 35% over the same period in
1996. Product revenues for the three months ending March 31, 1997 increased 38%
to $128.2 million from $92.8 million for the corresponding period in 1996, due
primarily to the addition of sales through the acquisition of DSP and to
increased sales of Ceredase[R] enzyme and Cerezyme[R] enzyme.

Sales of Specialty Therapeutics in the three months ended March 31, 1997
consisted entirely of sales of Ceredase[R] enzyme and Cerezyme[R] enzyme and
increased 30% due to increased shipments resulting from successful market
penetration efforts in Japan and continued growth in new patient accruals in
existing markets. Genzyme General's results of operations are highly dependent
on these products which, with combined sales for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 of $76.4 million and $58.8 million, respectively, represented
60% and 63%, respectively, of consolidated product sales. 

Product sales for the Surgical Products business unit during the first three
months of 1997, were $26.9 million and consisted primarily of sales by DSP.
DSP's product sales for the first quarter of 1996, which are not included in the
results for Genzyme General, were $27.7 million.

Product sales during the first quarter of 1997 by the Diagnostic Products 
business unit increased by 5% over the same period in 1996 as a result of
growth in most product lines, most notably sales of the Direct LDL[TM] test and
immunobiologicals. Total Pharmaceutical product sales declined 55% in the first
quarter of 1997 as compared to 1996 as a result of a significant decline in
sales of Melatonin, despite a 48% increase in sales of pharmaceutical grade HA
powder and other pharmaceutical products. Melatonin sales began to decline
materially in the second half of 1996 due to reduced market demand, and Genzyme
General does not expect that Melatonin sales will return to the levels
experienced during the first half of 1996.
        
Revenues for Genzyme Genetics increased 14% in the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to the first quarter of 1996. The increase was due to higher unit
volumes attributable to the acquisition of Genetrix and to changes in service
pricing and was offset by the loss of revenue from GDI, which was sold in
November 1996. GDI contributed $3.5 million in revenues in the first quarter of
1996. Genetrix service revenues for the first quarter of 1996, which are not
included in the results of Genzyme General, were $5.4 million.




                                      -24-
<PAGE>   25


International sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 declined to 33%
from 37% for the first quarter of 1996, as the addition of domestic sales by
DSP offset a 41% increase in the combined international sales of Ceredase[R]
and Cerezyme[R] enzymes.

Revenues from research and development contracts for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 were $1.7 million, as compared to $6.1 million for the
corresponding period in 1996, a decrease of 72%, due primarily to the absence of
revenue from Neozyme II, which was acquired by Genzyme in the fourth quarter of
1996 and which provided $5.4 million for the first quarter of 1996. Excluding
the effect of the acquisition of Neozyme II, research and development revenue
increased by 162% in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period of
1996, due primarily to an increase in research and development efforts related
to the AT III program performed by Genzyme General on behalf of GTC.

MARGINS AND OPERATING EXPENSES. Gross margins were 61% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997, level with the  first quarter of 1996. Genzyme General provides
a broad range of health care products and services, resulting in a range of
gross margins depending on the particular market conditions of each product or
service. Product margins were 64% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, level
with the first quarter of 1996. Service margins increased to 37% for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from 36% for the corresponding period in 1996 due
to completion of the consolidation of Genzyme Genetics with Genetrix, the sale
of GDI, and the resulting elimination of redundant facilities and staffing. 
Genzyme General expects service margins to continue to improve in 1997 due to
the continued realization of economies of scale from the consolidation of 
testing laboratories.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $40.1 million, an
increase of 31% over the same period in 1996. The increase was due primarily to
the acquisition of Genetrix and DSP and increased staffing in support of the
growth in several product lines, most notably in support of the North American
introduction of Seprafilm[TM]. DSP added $7.4 million in SG&A expenses for the
first quarter of 1997. For the first quarter of 1996, DSP incurred SG&A expenses
of $8.7 million which are not included in the results of Genzyme General.
Charges for the amortization of intangibles increased to $3.2 million in the
first quarter of 1997, as compared to the same period of 1996 due to the
addition of acquired patents and tradenames and goodwill recorded as a result of
the acquisitions of Genetrix and DSP.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were
$17.3 million, an increase of 13% over the same period in 1996 due to Genzyme
General's funding of the development costs of the AT III program being conducted
by GTC and increased spending on internal programs, most notably Thyrogen[R].

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES. Other income and expense decreased substantially due
to the combined effect of a decrease in investment income and an increase
in interest expense related to funds borrowed under the Company's revolving
credit facility. Investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997
decreased to $2.3 million from $3.9 million for the same period in 1996, due
primarily to lower average cash and investment balances. Interest expense for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $2.3 million, as compared to $0.2 million,
for the same period of 1996. The increase resulted from interest on funds
borrowed in 1996 to finance portions of the acquisitions of DSP and Neozyme
II. 

Genzyme General consolidates 100% of the losses generated by the Joint Venture
with GDP. For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Joint Venture incurred net
losses of approximately $0.7 million, due primarily to the costs associated with
the U.S. market introduction of Seprafilm[TM].

The tax provision for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 varies from the U.S.
statutory tax rate because of the provision for state income taxes, Genzyme
General's share of losses of subsidiaries which generate no current tax benefit,
tax credits and taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate was 38.8% for
the three months ended March 31, 1997, a slight increase over the corresponding
period in 1996. The allocated tax benefit generated by GTR of $4.5 million and
$3.5 million, respectively, reduced Genzyme General's tax rate for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 to 22.4% and 24.9%, respectively.

  GENZYME TISSUE REPAIR

REVENUES. Service revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
were $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, an increase of 16%. Sales of
the Carticel[R] Service were $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997 as compared to $0.5 million for the comparable period in 1996. The growth
in Carticel[R] sales is primarily attributable to a continued increase in the
number of surgeons trained in the procedure utilizing the Service. Sales of
Epicel[SM] Service declined 31% to $0.9 million in the three months ended March
31, 1997 from $1.2 million in the same period of 1996 due to a decrease in the  
number of burn incidents requiring the service.

MARGINS AND OPERATING EXPENSES. Genzyme Tissue Repair's cost of services sold 
exceeded revenue for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, by 44% and 42%,
respectively, due to increased spending for the expansion of manufacturing
capacity.

SG&A expenses were $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, an
increase of 5% over the same period in 1996. The increase resulted from
staffing and expenses to support revenue growth and increased surgeon training
costs related to the Carticel[R] Service.

Genzyme Tissue Repair incurs direct SG&A charges as well as an SG&A charge,
based on actual amounts incurred, from Genzyme General for SG&A work performed
by Genzyme General on behalf of Genzyme Tissue Repair. In the first quarter of
1997, $2.4 million of SG&A services were provided by Genzyme General as compared
to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 1996. The 33% reduction in SG&A services
provided by Genzyme General was offset by a 58% increase in direct SG&A expenses
incurred by GTR.

Research and development expenses were $2.8 million and $2.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, an increase of 17%.
Increased spending associated with the TGF(beta)2 program was offset by a 
decline in costs related to the Vianain[R] program. In the first quarter of 
1997, $1.9 million of research and development services were provided to 
Genzyme Tissue Repair by Genzyme General, compared to $1.7 million in the first 
quarter of 1996.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
Investment income declined to $0.2 million in the first quarter of 1997 from
$0.6 million in the same period of 1996, due primarily to lower average cash
balances.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 1997 increased to $377,000 from
$4,000 in the first quarter of 1996, as a result of a 20% increase in
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and the addition of
$11.5 million of debt from the private placement of GTR's 5% convertible notes
in February 1997 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").

In the first quarter of 1997, Genzyme Tissue Repair provided $1.8 million of
funding to, and realized a net loss of $1.6 million from, Diacrin/Genzyme LLC,
the joint venture established between Genzyme Tissue Repair and Diacrin, Inc.
to develop and commercialize products and processes using porcine fetal cells 
for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease in humans.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  GENZYME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

As of March 31, 1997, Genzyme had cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $182.0 million, a decline of $5.9 million from December 31, 1996,
primarily due to payment of $104.5 million of debt and capital lease obligations
in the first quarter, of which $100.0 million represents a reduction in
Genzyme's outstanding debt under the Company's $225.0 million revolving credit
facility. At March 31, 1997, $118.0 million was outstanding under the revolving
credit  facility, of which $100.0 million was allocated to Genzyme General and
$18.0 million was allocated to Genzyme Tissue Repair. Genzyme generated $6.4
million of cash from operations. Investing activities generated $10.6 million of
cash in the first quarter of 1997. Turnover of the investment portfolio provided
$19.4 million of cash, of which $4.3 million was used to finance manufacturing
capacity expansion, $1.8 million was allocated to Genzyme Tissue Repair to fund
its investment in Diacrin/Genzyme LLC, $1.7 million of funds were distributed to
PharmaGenics pursuant to the terms of a pre-acquisition credit facility provided
to PharmaGenics by Genzyme and $1.0 million was used to fund other noncurrent
assets.  Proceeds from the exercise of stock options, warrants and stock issued
through the employee stock purchase plan were $91.9 million for the first
quarter of 1997 and included $87.0 million of cash related to certain warrants
exercised immediately prior to December 31, 1996 and classified as Other current
assets in Genzyme's balance sheet as of December 31, 1996.

As of March 31, 1997, Genzyme had accounts receivable of $119.7 million, net of 
an allowance for doubtful accounts, an increase of $2.9 million from December
31, 1996 due to the growth in each of Genzyme's businesses. Genzyme had
inventories of $129.6 million, an increase of $4.3 million over December 31,
1996. The increase was due primarily to support of increased business
operations, most notably in the Specialty Therapeutics business unit
inventories as a result of increased production of Cerezyme[R] and in the
Surgical Products business unit in support of the introduction of Seprafilm[TM]
in the North American marketplace.

  GENZYME GENERAL

As of March 31, 1997, Genzyme General had cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $162.4 million, a decline of $9.3 million from December 31, 1996,
primarily due to payment of $104.5 million of debt and capital lease obligations
in the first quarter, of which $100.0 million represents a reduction in Genzyme
General's outstanding debt under the Company's revolving credit facility.
Genzyme General generated $15.6 million of cash from operations. Investing
activities generated $12.7 million of cash in the first quarter of 1997.
Turnover of the investment portfolio provided $19.1 million of cash, of which
$4.2 million was used to finance manufacturing capacity expansion and $1.7
million of funds were distributed to PharmaGenics pursuant to the terms of a
pre-acquisition credit facility provided to PharmaGenics by Genzyme and $0.5
million was used to fund other noncurrent assets. Proceeds from the exercise of
stock options, warrants and stock issued through the employee stock purchase
plan were $91.8 million for the first quarter of 1997 and included $87.0 million
of cash related to certain warrants exercised immediately prior to December 31,
1996 which were classified as Other current assets in Genzyme General's balance
sheet as of December 31, 1996. In the first quarter of 1997, $1.8 million of
Genzyme General's cash was allocated to Genzyme Tissue Repair to fund its
investment in Diacrin/Genzyme LLC.

As of March 31, 1997, Genzyme General had accounts receivable of $118.1
million, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, and increase of $2.9
million from December 31, 1996 due to the growth in each of Genzyme General's
businesses. Genzyme General had inventories of $127.8 million, an increase of
$4.4 million over December 31, 1996. The increase was due primarily to support
of increased business operations, most notably in the Specialty Therapeutics
business unit inventories as a result of increased production of Cerezyme[R]
and in the Surgical Products business unit in support of the introduction of
Seprafilm[TM] in the North American marketplace.

Genzyme General expects that its available cash, investments and cash flow from
research contracts and product and service sales will be sufficient to finance  
its planned operations and capital requirements for at least the foreseeable
future. Although Genzyme General currently has substantial cash resources, it
has committed to utilize a portion of its resources for certain purposes, such
as completing the market introduction of the Sepra Products in the United
States and Europe and making certain payments to third parties in connection
with strategic collaborations. Genzyme General's cash resources also will be
diminished upon repayment of amounts borrowed, plus accrued interest, under the
revolving facility and if its option to acquire the partnership interests in
GDP is exercised using cash to pay some or all the exercise price. In addition,
the liabilities or contingencies of Genzyme Tissue Repair affect Genzyme's
resources or financial condition and could affect the financial condition or
results of operations of Genzyme General. As a result, Genzyme may have to
obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will
be available on terms reasonably acceptable to Genzyme.

  GENZYME TISSUE REPAIR

In the first quarter of 1997, Genzyme Tissue Repair used $9.2 million of cash
for operations. These expenditures were financed by the issuance of common stock
through exercises of stock options and warrants, through the issuance of the 5%
convertible note and the allocation of $1.8 million from Genzyme General as
funding for Genzyme Tissue Repair's investment in Diacrin/Gemzyme LLC. As of
March 31, 1997, $18 million of funds borrowed by Genzyme Tissue Repair in
December 1996 under the revolving credit facility remained outstanding. In
February 1997, Genzyme Tissue Repair raised $13 million through the private
placement of a 5% convertible note to an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston
due February 27, 2000. The note is convertible beginning May 29, 1997 into
shares of GTR stock, and beginning in August 1997, at a discount to the average
of the closing bid prices of the GTR Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the
25 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (the "Average GTR
Stock Price"). The discount will start at 2% beginning six months from the date
the note was issued and will increase to 11%, at various intervals, at 15 months
after the date of issue. Thereafter, the conversion price will be the lesser of
89% of the Average GTR Stock Price preceding the conversion date or the date 15
months after the date of issue. In the first quarter of 1997, Genzyme Tissue
Repair recorded $11.5 million of proceeds attributable to the value of the debt
and $1.5 million attributable to the value of the conversion feature (recorded
as an increase to division equity). The $11.5 million will be accreted to the
face value of the debt by a charge to earnings available to common stockholders
over the term of the initial 15 month conversion period.

Genzyme Tissue Repair does not expect its available cash and investments will be
sufficient to finance planned operations and capital requirements through the
end of 1997 and must raise significant additional capital in order to continue
operations at current levels. Genzyme Tissue Repair's plans to raise additional
capital include consideration of the sale of additional equity securities,
strategic alliances with third parties to fund further development and
marketing of the Carticel[R] Service and other business transactions that would
generate capital resources to assure continuation of Genzyme Tissue Repair's
operations and research programs. If these initiatives are not successful,
Genzyme Tissue Repair may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate certain
of its programs or to license third parties to commercialize technologies or
products that the division would otherwise undertake itself.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 1997, the Genzyme Board voted, subject to approval of the stockholders,
to adopt an amendment to the Director Plan which would increase the number of
shares of GGD Stock and GTR Stock available for issuance under the Director Plan
by 33,600 shares and 30,000 shares, respectively, to 233,600 shares of GGD Stock
and 100,000 shares of GTR Stock. 

On May 5, 1997, the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel of the FDA's      
Medical Devices Advisory Committee recommended that Genzyme not be granted
approval to market Sepracoat[TM] coating solution for the reduction of
adhesions in abdominal and pelvic surgery. Sepracoat[TM] is a liquid
formulation of HA designed to reduce adhesion formation caused by indirect
trauma, such as incidental abrasions from tissue handling or tissue drying due
to exposure and is currently marketed in Europe by Genzyme. The panel agreed
that the product appears to be safe but indicated that Genzyme had not
presented sufficient evidence of clinical effectiveness. The panel's
recommendation will be considered in the FDA's final review of Genzyme's
premarket approval application for Sepracoat[TM]. The recommendation is not
binding on the FDA, but the agency usually follows the advice of its panels.
The panel's recommendation does not affect Seprafilm[TM], which received FDA
approval in August 1996 and is marketed globally. Genzyme is considering
options for further clinical studies of Sepracoat[TM], possibly in combination
with Seprafilm[TM].

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES

        On February 28, 1997, Genzyme Tissue Repair raised $13 million
        through the private placement of a 5% convertible note (the "Note"), to
        an affiliate of Credit Suisse First Boston due February 27, 2000.
        Genzyme believes that the sale of the Note to a single purchaser
        without general solicitation qualifies as a transaction by an issuer
        not involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of
        the Securities Act of 1933. The Note is convertible beginning May 29,
        1997 into shares of GTR stock and, beginning in August 1997, at a
        discount to the average of the closing bid prices of the GTR Stock on
        the Nasdaq National Market for the 25 trading days immediately
        preceding the conversion date (the "Average GTR Stock Price"). The
        discount will start at 2% beginning six months from the date of the
        Note was issued and will increase to 11% at 15 months after the date of
        issue. Thereafter, the conversion price will be the lesser of 89% of
        the Average GTR Stock Price preceding the conversion date or the        
        date 15 months after the date of issue.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
                          ----------------------------

A.       AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

         The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the
Corporation shall be authorized to issue is two hundred fifty million
(250,000,000) shares, consisting of two hundred million (200,000,000) shares of
General Division Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "General Stock"),
forty million (40,000,000) shares of Tissue Repair Division Common Stock, $.01
par value per share (the "TR Stock"), and ten million (10,000,000) shares of
Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock").

         On December 16, 1994, the effective date of the amendment to these
Articles that created the Tissue Repair Division Common Stock, and without any
further action on the part of the Corporation or its stockholders, each share of
the Corporation's Common Stock then issued and outstanding was redesignated as
one fully paid and nonassessable share of General Stock.


B.       DESCRIPTION OF THE GENERAL STOCK AND THE TR STOCK

         A description of the General Stock and the TR Stock and a statement of
their respective preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or
relative rights or privileges is as follows:

         1.       DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

         Subject to the express terms of any outstanding series of Preferred
Stock, dividends may be declared and paid upon the General Stock or the TR Stock
upon the terms provided for below with respect to each such class, in such
amounts and at such times as the Board of Directors may determine.

                  A. DIVIDENDS ON GENERAL STOCK. Dividends on General Stock may
be declared and paid only out of the lesser of (a) funds of the Corporation
legally available therefor and (b) the Available General Dividend Amount.

                  B. DIVIDENDS ON TR STOCK. Dividends on TR Stock may be
declared and paid only out of the lesser of (a) funds of the Corporation legally
available therefor and (b) the Available Tissue Repair Dividend Amount.

                  C. DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN CLASSES OF GENERAL STOCK. Subject to
the provisions of paragraphs IV.B.1.a. and IV.B.1.b., the Board of Directors
may, in its sole discretion, declare and pay dividends exclusively on either
class of common stock, or both, in equal or unequal amounts, notwithstanding the
amounts available for the payment of dividends on each class, the respective
voting and liquidation rights of each class, the amounts of prior dividends
declared on each class or any other factor.

         2.       EXCHANGE OF TR STOCK.  Shares of TR Stock are subject to
exchange upon the terms and conditions set forth below:

                  A. OPTIONAL EXCHANGE OF TR STOCK. At any time after the later
of (i) December 31, 1995 and (ii) equity investments in TR Stock by investors
(other than purchasers of TR Stock pursuant to the Corporation's stock option,
stock purchase or other employee benefit plans), the proceeds of which are
allocated to the Tissue Repair Division, or the allocation of cash or cash
equivalents from the General Division to the Tissue Repair Division, or any
combination of such equity investments and allocations, aggregating not less
than ten million dollars ($10,000,000), the Board of Directors may declare that
each of the outstanding shares of TR Stock shall be exchanged, on an Exchange
Date set forth in a notice to holders of TR Stock pursuant to paragraph
IV.B.2.c.(1), for (a) a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of General
Stock (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) equal to (1) 130% of the
Fair Market Value of one share of the TR Stock (the "Exchange Amount") as of the
date of the first public announcement by the Corporation (the "Announcement
Date") of such exchange divided by (2) the Fair Market Value of one share of
General Stock as of such Announcement Date or (b) cash equal to the Exchange
Amount, or (c) any combination of General Stock and cash equal to the Exchange
Amount as determined by the Board of Directors.

                  B. MANDATORY EXCHANGE OF TR STOCK. In the event of the
Disposition, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, by the
Corporation of all or substantially all of the properties and assets allocated
to the Tissue Repair Division (other than in connection with the Disposition by
the Corporation of all or substantially all of its properties and assets in one
transaction or a series of related transactions) to any person, entity or group
(other than (x) any entity in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly,
owns all of the equity interest or (y) any entity formed at the direction of the
Corporation in connection with obtaining financing for the programs or products
of the Tissue Repair Division under an arrangement which provides the
Corporation with an option to reacquire such properties and assets or retain or
obtain substantial manufacturing or marketing rights with respect to any
products developed by such entity, in each case for the benefit of the Tissue
Repair Division), the Corporation shall, on or prior to the first Business Day
after the 90th day following the consummation of such Disposition, exchange each
outstanding share of TR Stock for (a) a number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of General Stock (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) equal to
(1) the Exchange Amount as of the Announcement Date of such Disposition divided
by (2) the Fair Market Value of one share of General Stock as of such
Announcement Date or (b) cash equal to the Exchange Amount, or (c) any
combination of General Stock and cash equal to the Exchange Amount as determined
by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this paragraph:


<PAGE>   8




                           (1) "substantially all of the properties and assets
allocated to the Tissue Repair Division" shall mean a portion of the properties
and assets allocated to the Tissue Repair Division (A) that represents at least
80% of the then-current fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of,
or (B) to which is attributable at least 80% of the aggregate revenues for the 
immediately preceding twelve fiscal quarterly periods of the Corporation derived
from, the properties and assets allocated to the Tissue Repair Division; and

                           (2) in the case of a Disposition of properties and
assets in a series of related transactions, such Disposition shall not be deemed
to have been consummated until the consummation of the last of such 
transactions.

                  C.       GENERAL EXCHANGE PROVISIONS.  In the event of any
exchange of TR Stock for shares of General Stock pursuant to paragraph IV.B.2.a.
or IV.B.2.b., the following provisions shall apply:

                           (1) The Corporation shall cause to be given to each 
record holder of shares of the TR Stock a notice stating (a) that shares of
TR Stock shall be exchanged for shares of General Stock or for cash or a
combination thereof, (b) the date on which the exchange shall become effective
(the "Exchange Date"), (c) the number of shares of General Stock or cash or
combination thereof to be received by such holder with respect to each share of
the TR Stock held by such holder, including details as to the calculation
thereof and (d) the place or places where certificates for shares of TR Stock,
properly endorsed or assigned for transfer are to be surrendered for delivery of
certificates for shares of General Stock or cash or a combination thereof
(unless the Corporation shall waive such requirement). Such notice shall be sent
by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the Exchange Date to each holder of shares of TR Stock at such holder's
address as the same appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation.
Neither the failure to mail such notice to any particular holder of shares TR
Stock nor any defect therein shall affect the sufficiency thereof with respect
to any other holder of shares of TR Stock.

                           (2) The Corporation shall not be required to issue or
deliver fractional shares of General Stock to any holder of shares of TR
Stock upon any such exchange. If more than one share of TR Stock shall be held
by the same holder of record, the Corporation shall aggregate the number of
shares of General Stock that shall be issuable to such holder upon any such
exchange. If the total number of shares of General Stock to be so issued to any
holder of record of shares of TR Stock includes a fraction, the Corporation
shall, if such fraction is not issued or delivered to such holder, either
arrange for the disposition of such fraction by or on behalf of such holder or
pay the fair value of such fraction, based upon the Fair Market Value of the
General Stock on the Exchange Date.

                           (3) No adjustments in respect of dividends shall be
made upon the exchange of any shares of TR Stock; provided, however, that
if the Exchange Date shall be subsequent to the record date for determining
holders of TR Stock entitled to the payment of a dividend or other distribution
thereon or with respect thereto, the holders of shares of TR

<PAGE>   9
Stock at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive
the dividend or other distribution payable on or with respect to such shares on
the date set for payment of such dividend or other distribution, notwithstanding
the exchange of such shares.

                           (4) Before any holder of shares of TR Stock shall be
entitled to receive certificates representing shares of General Stock or
cash or a combination thereof to be received by such holder with respect to the
exchange of such shares of TR Stock, such holder shall surrender at such place
as the Corporation shall specify certificates for such shares of TR Stock,
properly endorsed or assigned for transfer (unless the Corporation shall waive
such requirement). The Corporation will as soon as practicable after such
surrender of certificates representing such shares of TR Stock deliver to the
person for whose account such shares of TR Stock were so surrendered, or to the
nominee or nominees of such person, certificates representing the number of
shares of General Stock or cash or a combination thereof to which such person
shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with any fractional share payment
contemplated by paragraph IV.B.2.c.(2).

                           (5) From and after the Exchange Date, all rights of
a holder of shares of TR Stock shall cease except for the right, upon
surrender of the certificates representing such shares of TR Stock, to receive
certificates representing shares of General Stock or cash or a combination
thereof, together with any fractional share payment contemplated by paragraph
IV.B.2.c.(2), and rights to dividends as provided in paragraph IV.B.2.c.(3). No
holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Exchange Date represented
shares of TR Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividend or other
distribution with respect to the General Stock to be issued in exchange until
surrender of such holder's certificate for a certificate or certificates
representing shares of General Stock (unless the Corporation shall waive such
requirement). Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder the amount
of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) which theretofore
became payable with respect to a record date after the Exchange Date, but that
were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of shares
of General Stock represented by the certificate or certificates issued upon such
surrender. From and after the Exchange Date, the Corporation shall, however, be
entitled to treat the certificates for TR Stock that have not yet been
surrendered for exchange as evidencing the ownership of the number of shares of
General Stock for which the shares of TR Stock represented by such certificates
shall have been exchanged, notwithstanding the failure to surrender such
certificates.

                           (6) The Corporation will pay any and all documentary,
stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the
issue or delivery of any shares of General Stock in exchange for shares of TR
Stock pursuant hereto. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay
any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and
delivery of any shares of General Stock issued in exchange in a name other than
that in which the shares of TR Stock so exchanged were registered and no such
issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such
issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax, or has established
to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.
<PAGE>   10

                            (7) After the Exchange Date, any share of TR Stock
issued upon conversion or exercise of any Convertible Security shall,
immediately upon issuance pursuant to such conversion or exercise and without
any notice or any other action on the part of the Corporation or its Board of
Directors or the holder of such share of TR Stock, be exchanged for the number
of shares of General Stock or cash or combination thereof (together with any
payments in lieu of fractional shares or dividends, if any) that a holder of
such Convertible Security would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the
terms of such Convertible Security had such terms provided that the conversion
privilege in effect immediately prior to any exchange by the Corporation of any
shares of TR Stock for shares of any other capital stock of the Corporation
would be adjusted so that the holder of any such Convertible Security thereafter
surrendered for conversion would be entitled to receive the number of shares of
capital stock of the Corporation he or she would have owned immediately
following such action had such Convertible Security been converted immediately
prior to such exchange. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to the extent
that equivalent adjustments are otherwise made pursuant to the provisions of
such Convertible Security.

         3.       VOTING RIGHTS

                  A. GENERAL STOCK. The holders of General Stock, voting
together with the holders of TR Stock as a single class of stock, shall have the
exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters
requiring action by the stockholders or submitted to the stockholders for
action, except as may be determined by the Board of Directors in establishing
any series of Preferred Stock or as may otherwise be required by law. Each share
of the General Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote.

                  B. TR STOCK. The holders of TR Stock, voting together with the
holders of General Stock as a single class of stock, shall have the exclusive
right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters requiring
action by the stockholders or submitted to the stockholders for action, except
as may be determined by the Board of Directors in establishing any series of
Preferred Stock or as may otherwise be required by law. Each share of TR Stock
shall entitle the holder thereof to .29 votes from the Effective Date through
December 31, 1996. On January 1, 1997 and on each January 1 every two years
thereafter, the number of votes to which the holder of each share of TR Stock
shall be entitled shall be adjusted and fixed for two-year periods to equal the
quotient (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest two decimal places)
obtained by dividing (i) the Fair Market Value of one share of TR Stock by (ii)
Fair Market Value of one share of General Stock as of such date. If no shares of
General Stock are outstanding on such date, or if shares of TR Stock are
entitled to vote separately as a class, each share of TR Stock shall have one
vote.

                  C. VOTING OF CONTROLLED SHARES. Shares of any class of common
stock held by a corporation or other entity controlled by the Corporation (other
than an employee benefit plan) shall be voted on any proposal requiring a vote
of the holders of such class in the same proportion as votes are cast for or
against such proposal by all other holders of such class.


<PAGE>   11
                  D. SPECIAL VOTING RIGHTS. The Corporation shall not, without
approval by the holders of the affected class of common stock at a meeting
at which a quorum is present and the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed
those cast against:

                            (1) allow any proceeds from the Disposition of the
properties or assets allocated to any Division represented by such class of
common stock to be used in the business of any other Division not represented by
such class of common stock without fair compensation being allocated to the
Division whose properties or assets are disposed of as determined by the Board
of Directors;

                            (2) allow any properties or assets allocated to any 
Division represented by a class of common stock to be used in the business
of any other Division not represented by such class of common stock or for the
declaration or payment of any dividend or distribution on any such other class
of common stock without fair compensation being allocated to the Division to
which such properties or assets were allocated as determined by the Board of
Directors;

                            (3) issue, sell or otherwise distribute shares of 
either class of common stock without allocating the proceeds or other
benefits of such issuance, sale or distribution to the Division represented by
such class of common stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation may without
such approval issue General Designated Shares and TR Designated Shares;

                            (4) change the rights or preferences of any class of
common stock so as to affect the class adversely; or

                            (5) effect any merger or business combination
involving the Corporation as a result of which (a) the holders of all
classes of common stock of the Corporation shall no longer own, directly or
indirectly, at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving
corporation and (b) the holders of all classes of common stock of the
Corporation do not receive the same form of consideration, distributed among
such holders in proportion to the Market Capitalization of each class of common
stock as of the date of the first public announcement of such merger or business
combination.

         4.       LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP

         Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, the rights of the holders of General Stock and TR Stock
shall be as follows:

                  a. After the Corporation has satisfied or made provision for
its debts and obligations and for the payment to the holders of shares of any
class or series of capital stock having preferential rights to receive
distributions of the net assets of the Corporation (including any accumulated
and unpaid dividends), the holders of General Stock and TR Stock shall be
entitled to receive the net assets of the Corporation remaining for
distribution, on a per share basis in proportion to the respective liquidation
units per share of such class. Each share of General Stock shall have one
liquidation unit and each share of TR Stock


<PAGE>   12
shall, subject to paragraph b. below, have the number of liquidation units 
equal to the number of votes to which one share of TR Stock is entitled on the
Effective Date.

                  b. For the purposes of paragraph IV.B.4.a., any merger or 
business combination involving the Corporation or any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall not be treated as a
liquidation.

         5.       ADJUSTMENTS RELATIVE TO VOTING RIGHTS AND LIQUIDATION

         If after the Effective Date, the Corporation shall in any manner
subdivide (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise) or combine (by reverse
stock split, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of General
Stock or TR Stock, or pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of any
class of common stock to holders of such class, the per share voting rights and
the liquidation units of TR Stock shall be appropriately adjusted so as to avoid
dilution in the aggregate voting and liquidation rights of either class. The
issuance by the Corporation of shares of any class of common stock (whether by a
dividend or otherwise) to the holders of any other class of common stock shall
not require adjustment pursuant to this paragraph.

         6.       RANK

         The General Stock and TR Stock shall rank junior with respect to the
payment of dividends and the distribution of assets to all series of the
Corporation's Preferred Stock that specifically provide that they shall rank
prior to the General Stock and TR Stock. Nothing herein shall preclude the Board
from creating any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with or prior to
the General Stock and TR Stock as to the payment of dividends or the
distribution of assets.

         7.       FRACTIONAL SHARES

         The General Stock and the TR Stock may be issued in fractions of a
share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional
shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in
distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of the
General Stock and the TR Stock, respectively.

         8.       DEFINITIONS

         As used in these Articles of Organization, the following terms shall
have the following meanings (with terms defined in the singular having

shall as of any date mean the average of the daily closing prices for the 20
consecutive trading days commencing on the 30th trading day prior to such date.
The closing price for each day shall be (x) if the shares of such class of stock

to the fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of assets or

Stock as of the date of such reallocation;

PROVIDED that no adjustment shall be made pursuant to clause (ii)(D) if the

the TR Stock and with the Clerk of the Corporation.

         9.       DETERMINATIONS BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         Any determinations with respect to any Division or the rights of
holders of any series of common stock made by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation in good faith pursuant

<PAGE>   18


to or in furtherance of any provision of this paragraph B. shall be final
and binding on all stockholders of the Corporation.

C.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED STOCK

         1.       UNDESIGNATED PREFERRED STOCK

         Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or
more series. The Board of Directors may determine, in whole or in part, the
preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or
privileges of any such series before the issuance of any shares of that series.
The Board of Directors shall determine the number of shares constituting each
series of Preferred Stock and each series shall have a distinguishing
designation.

         2.       SERIES A AND SERIES B JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

         By vote adopted October 13, 1994 pursuant to paragraph IV(C)(1) of this
Corporation's Articles of Organization, the Board of Directors established two
series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation with the following designations,
powers, preferences and rights:


         1. AUTHORIZED AMOUNTS AND DESIGNATIONS. One million shares of Preferred
Stock of the Corporation are designated as Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and 400,000 shares of Preferred
Stock are designated as Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the
"Series B Preferred Stock," and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the
"Junior Preferred Stock"). To the extent legally permitted, such numbers of
shares may be increased or decreased by vote of the Board of Directors, provided
that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock of
either series to a number less than the number of shares of such series then
outstanding plus the number of shares of such series reserved for issuance upon
the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion
of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into such
series of Junior Preferred Stock.

         2.  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.

         (A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any
shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the Junior
Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Junior
Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of General Division Common Stock
(the "General Stock") and Tissue Repair Division Common Stock (the "TR Stock"
and together with the General Stock, the "Common Shares") of the Corporation,
and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the
purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June,
September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as
a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date after the first issuance of a share

<PAGE>   19
or fraction of a share of Junior Preferred Stock, in an amount per share
(rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) subject
to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate
per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share
amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other
than a dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares of the same class or a
subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise),
declared on the General Stock in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock and on
the TR Stock in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock since the immediately
preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or
fraction of a share of Junior Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation
shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on any class of Common Shares
payable in Common Shares of the same class, or effect a subdivision or
combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares of any class (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in the same class of
Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares of such class,
then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Junior Preferred
Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the
preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of General Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of General Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event in
the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, and (ii) the numerator of which is the
number of shares of TR Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of TR Stock that were outstanding
immediately prior to such event in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock.

         (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the
Junior Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section 2
immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on any class of Common
Shares (other than a dividend payable in Common Shares of such class), provided
that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the
General Stock or the TR Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend
of $1.00 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Stock, as the
case may be, shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date.

         (C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding
shares of Junior Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next
preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such
shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date
of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders
of shares of Junior Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and
before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such
dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends
paid on the shares of Junior Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total
amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on


<PAGE>   20

such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such
shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for
the determination of holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock entitled to
receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record
date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment
thereof.

         3.  VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock
shall have the following voting rights:

         (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each
share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes
on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation and
each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100
times the number of votes to which the holder of each outstanding share of TR
Stock is then entitled on all such matters. In the event the Corporation shall
at any time declare or pay any dividend on any class of Common Shares payable in
Common Shares of such class, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares of any class (by reclassification
or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Shares of such class) into
a greater or lesser number of Common Shares of such class, then in each such
case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Junior
Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted
by multiplying such number by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the
number of shares of General Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of General Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event in the case of the Series A
Preferred Shares, and (ii) the numerator of which is the number of shares of TR
Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of shares of TR Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such
event in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock.

         (B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Articles of
Organization, in any other vote of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
creating a series of Preferred Stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Junior
Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Shares and any other capital stock of
the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on
all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

         (C) Except as set forth herein or as otherwise provided by law, holders
of Junior Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.

         4.  CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS.

         (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions
payable on the Junior Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears,
thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether
or not declared, on shares of Junior Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been
paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

<PAGE>   21

              (i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on
any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Junior Preferred Stock;

             (ii) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on
any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Junior Preferred Stock, except
dividends paid ratably on the Junior Preferred Stock and all such parity stock
on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts
to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

            (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Junior Preferred Stock, provided that the
Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any
such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking
junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up)
to the Junior Preferred Stock; or

             (iv) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
shares of Junior Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity
with the Junior Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made
in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all
holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after
consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights
and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good
faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or
classes.

         (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation
to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the
Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this section 4
purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

         5. REACQUIRED SHARES. Any shares of Junior Preferred Stock purchased or
otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired
and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon
their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and
may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock, subject to the
conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Articles of
Organization, in any other vote of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
creating a series of Preferred Stock, or as otherwise required by law.

         6. LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1)
to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Junior Preferred Stock unless,
prior thereto, the holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall have
received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends
and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment,
provided that the holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for
adjustment hereinafter set forth,

<PAGE>   22


equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders
of shares of General Stock in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock and 100
times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to the holders of shares
of TR Stock in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, or (2) to the holders
of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Junior Preferred Stock, except
distributions made ratably on the Junior Preferred Stock and all other such
parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the
event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on any class
of Common Shares payable in Common Shares of such class, or effect a subdivision
or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares of any class
(by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Shares
of such class) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares of such class,
then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Junior
Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso
in clause (1) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such
amount by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of
General Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of
which is the number of shares of General Stock that were outstanding immediately
prior to such event in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, and (ii) the
numerator of which is the number of shares of TR Stock outstanding immediately
after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of TR
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event in the case of the
Series B Preferred Stock.

         7. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case the Corporation shall enter into
any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which Common
Shares are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or
any other property, then in any such case each share of Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or
changed into an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment
hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock,
securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may
be, into which or for which each share of General Stock and TR Stock,
respectively, is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any
time declare or pay any dividend on any class of Common Shares payable in Common
Shares of such class, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of
the outstanding shares of any class of Common Shares (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Shares of such
class) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares of such class, then in
each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to
the exchange or change of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by
multiplying such amount by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number
of shares of General Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of General Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event in the case of the Series A
Preferred Stock, and (ii) the numerator of which is the number of shares of TR
Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of shares of TR Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such
event in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock.

<PAGE>   23

         8. REDEMPTION. The shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall not be
redeemable.

         9. RANK. The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock
shall rank equally with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution
of assets. The Junior Preferred Stock shall rank junior with respect to the
payment of dividends and the distribution of assets to all series of the
Corporation's Preferred Stock that specifically provide that they shall rank
prior to the Junior Preferred Stock. Nothing herein shall preclude the Board
from creating any series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with or prior to
the Junior Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of
assets.

    10. AMENDMENT. The Articles of Organization of the Corporation shall not be
amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers,
preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B
Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock
or Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, voting together as a single series.

    11. FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Junior Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions
of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's
fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in
distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of the
Junior Preferred Stock.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                             OTHER LAWFUL PROVISIONS
                             -----------------------

A.       BOARD OF DIRECTORS
         ------------------

         1. CLASSIFICATION. The directors shall be divided into three classes,
as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the
entire Board permits, with the term of office of one class expiring each year.
The initial directors of all classes shall be elected by the incorporator and
shall serve until their respective successors shall be elected and shall
qualify. Thereafter, the directors of the first class shall be elected to hold
office for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders, the
directors of the second class shall be elected to hold office for a term
expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders and the directors of the
third class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third
annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders,
successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be
elected for a term expiring at the third annual meeting following their election
and until their successors shall be elected and qualified, subject to prior
death, resignation, retirement or removal. If the number of directors is
changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as
to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible,
but in no event will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of
any incumbent director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise
required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred
Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more
directors of the Corporation, the election, terms of office and other features
of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the vote establishing
such series, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes
pursuant to this Article VI unless expressly provided by such terms.

         2. VACANCIES. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors
in establishing a series of Preferred Stock as to directors elected by holders
of such series, any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy
resulting from the enlargement of the Board, may be filled by the directors then
in office, though less than a quorum. Each director so chosen to fill a vacancy
shall be elected to complete the term of office of the director who is being
succeeded. In the case of any election of a new director to fill a directorship
created by an enlargement of the Board, the Board shall in such election assign
the class of directors to which such additional director is being elected, and
each director so elected shall hold office for the same term as the other
members of the class to which the director is assigned.

         3. REMOVAL. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors in
establishing a series of Preferred Stock as to directors elected by holders of
such series, at any special meeting of the stockholders called at least in part
for the purpose, any director or directors may, by the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least a majority of the stock entitled to vote for the election of
directors, be removed from office for cause. The provisions of this subsection
shall be the exclusive method for the removal of directors.


<PAGE>   25

B.       STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIRED FOR CERTAIN ACTIONS
         ---------------------------------------------

         The Corporation, by vote of a majority of the stock outstanding and
entitled to vote thereon may (i) authorize any amendment to these Articles of
Organization, (ii) authorize the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially
all of the Corporation's property and assets, including its goodwill and (iii)
approve a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other
corporation; so long as such amendment, sale, lease, exchange, merger or
consolidation shall have been approved by the Board of Directors.

C.       ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
         ---------------------

         1. Meetings of the stockholders may be held anywhere within the United
State.

         2. No contract or other transaction of this corporation with any other
person, corporation, association, or partnership shall be affected or
invalidated by the fact that (i) this corporation is a stockholder or partner in
such other corporation, association, or partnership, or (ii) any one or more of
the officers or directors of this corporation is an officer, director or partner
of such other corporation, association or partnership, or (iii) any officer or
director of this corporation, individually or jointly with others, is a party to
or is interested in such contract or transaction. Any director of this
corporation may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any
meeting of the board of directors for the purpose of authorizing or ratifying
any such contract or transaction, and may vote thereon, with like force and
effect as if he were not so interested or were not an officer, director, or
partner of such other corporation, association, or partnership.

         3. The corporation may be a partner in any business enterprise which it
would have power to conduct itself.

         4. The by-laws may provide that the directors may make, amend, or
repeal the by-laws in whole or in part, except with respect to any provision
thereof which by law, these Articles of Organization, or the by-laws requires
action by the stockholders.

         5. A director shall not be liable to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except to the extent that the elimination or limitation of liability
is not permitted under the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law as in effect
when such liability is determined. No amendment or repeal of this provision
shall deprive a director of the benefits hereof with respect to any act or
omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

         6. Except as otherwise required by law, any action required or
permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be taken at a
duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be taken by
any consent in writing by such holders.
