               GENZYME TRANSGENICS 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 Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
          the fiscal year ended December 28, 1997 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 Securities and Exchange Commission
          rules and regulations.

          Per share information is based upon the weighted average number of
          shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.

          The financial statements for the nine months ended September 27, 1998
          and September 28, 1997 are unaudited but include, in the Company'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 2 of the financial statements included in
          the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
          28, 1997.

          The common stock equivalents of the Company consisted of warrants,
          stock options and convertible preferred stock.  The Company was in a
          net loss position at September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997,
          therefore common stock equivalents were not used to compute diluted
          loss per share as the effect was antidilutive. Warrants and stock
          options to purchase 3,109,478 and 2,208,250 shares of common stock
          were outstanding at September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997,
          respectively.  Convertible Preferred Stock with a $20 million face
          value which is convertible into the Company's common stock at $14.55
          per share through December 20, 1998, was outstanding at September 27,
          1998.

     3.   Joint Ventures:

          On January 1, 1998, a definitive collaboration agreement for the ATIII
          LLC joint venture ("ATIII LLC") between the Company and Genzyme
          Corporation ("Genzyme") was executed.  Under the terms of the
          agreement, Genzyme and the Company will provide 70% and 30%,
          respectively, of the first $33 million of development costs under this
          program.  The Company's funding obligations 


                                       6
<PAGE>


          commenced in September 1998.  Development costs in excess of 
          $33 million will be funded equally by the partners.  The Company 
          and Genzyme will also make capital contributions to ATIII LLC 
          sufficient to pay 50% each of all new facility costs to be incurred. 
          In addition to the funding, both partners will contribute 
          manufacturing, marketing and other resources to ATIII LLC at cost 
          and will share profits from product sales equally.  The agreement 
          covers all territories other than Asia and may include milestone 
          payments from Genzyme to the Company after the product has been 
          approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration.

          In 1997, the Company incurred losses on the joint venture with
          Sumitomo Metal Industries ("SMIG JV").

     4.   Primedica Corporation:

          In February 1998, the Company announced that it had reorganized its
          contract research business under a new name, Primedica Corporation, to
          provide a unified identity and a dedicated structure for further
          growth of its contract research organization ("CRO") operations.

     5.   Private Placements:

          In March 1998, the Company completed a private placement of $20
          million of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
          Stock") to three institutional investors.  The Preferred Stock carries
          a $1,000 face value per share, and is subject to mandatory redemption,
          if not previously converted, in three years.  Such redemption may be
          in the form of cash or stock, at the Company's option.  The Preferred
          Stock may be converted immediately into the Company's common stock at
          a price of $14.55 per share through December 20, 1998.  Thereafter, it
          may be converted into common stock at a per share price equal to the
          lower of $14.55 or the average of any five closing bid prices over the
          twenty days prior to conversion.  Dividends will only accrue if the
          holders are unable to convert their Preferred Stock into common stock
          in certain circumstances.  In connection with the financing, warrants
          to purchase 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock were issued. 
          Each warrant has a four year term at an exercise price of $15.1563 per
          share.  Because the Preferred Stock could be converted into common
          stock immediately, the warrants, valued at approximately $1.2 million,
          were recognized as a dividend payment to preferred shareholders during
          the first quarter of 1998.  As a result of this financing, the amount
          available under the line of credit in the Convertible Debt and
          Development Funding Agreement with Genzyme has decreased from
          approximately $8.3 million to $6.4 million.

          In May 1998, the Company completed a private placement of 603,300
          shares of common stock at $10.80 per share in a registered direct
          offering to a single purchaser raising approximately $6.5 million of
          new equity.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997

Total revenues for the three-month period ending September 27, 1998 were $16.5
million, compared with $14.7 million in the comparable period of 1997, an
increase of $1.8 million or 12%. Service revenues increased to $13.8 million in
the third quarter of 1998 from $10.4 million in the third quarter of 1997, an
increase of $3.4 million or 33%.  Research and development revenues decreased to
$2.7 million in the third quarter of 1998 from $4.4 million in the third quarter
of 1997, a decrease of $1.7 million or 39%.  The decrease reflects the impact on
revenue of the establishment, in January 1998, of the joint venture ("ATIII
LLC") for the development of recombinant human antithrombin III ("AT-III") with
Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme").  Had the AT-III program been structured on the
same basis during the third quarter of 1998 as during the same quarter in 1997,
transgenic research revenues for the third quarter of 1998 would have increased
approximately $400,000 from the third quarter of 1997.

Cost of services for the third quarter of 1998 were $11.5 million compared to
$8.9 million in the comparable period of 1997, an increase of $2.6 million or
29% due to increased service revenues.  Sponsored research and development
expenses decreased to $3 million in the third quarter of 1998 from $3.2 million
in the third quarter of 1997, a decrease of $200,000 or 6%.  The decrease is due
to impact of the formation of ATIII LLC.  In 1997, the full cost of the AT-III
development program, including subcontractor costs, was reflected by the Company
as sponsored research and development expense and, to the extent that the
program was funded, as sponsored research and development revenue.  With the
formation of ATIII LLC in 1998, all funding and subcontractor costs are recorded
directly by ATIII LLC.  Costs incurred by the Company for the AT-III development
program are being funded by ATIII LLC and, therefore, only these costs are being
recorded equally as sponsored research and development revenue and sponsored
research and development expense.  Had the AT-III development program been
structured on the same basis during the third quarter of 1998 as during the same
quarter in 1997, the sponsored research and development expenses would have
increased by approximately $1.9 million over the same quarter in 1997.  Internal
research and development expenses increased to $1.6 million in the third quarter
of 1998 from $1.3 million in the third quarter of 1997, an increase of $300,000
or 23%.  The increase is due to an increase in activity on internal research
programs. 

Gross profit for the third quarter of 1998 amounted to $2 million versus $2.7
million in the third quarter of 1997. The decrease is due to a $1.5 million
research and development milestone recorded in the third quarter of 1997, offset
by the increase in services gross profit. Gross profit on services for the third
quarter of 1998 was $2.3 million, a gross margin of 17%, versus $1.5 million, a
gross margin of 14%, in the second quarter of 1997.  The increase in gross
margin is due to improved efficiencies due to increased revenues within the
quarter.


                                       8
<PAGE>


Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased to $3.9 million
in the third quarter of 1998 from $3.7 million in the third quarter of 1997, an
increase of $200,000 or 5%.  The increase is due to the increased marketing
effort for Primedica and to the addition of administrative personnel required to
support the growth in transgenic research and development programs.

Interest income increased to $121,000 in the third quarter of 1998, from $20,000
in the third quarter of 1997, due to an increase in funds available for
investment as a result of proceeds received from the preferred stock offering in
the first quarter and the sale of common stock in a registered direct offering
to a single purchaser in the second quarter.  Interest expense decreased to
$298,000 in the third quarter of 1998 from $316,000 in the third quarter of 1997
due to lower borrowings on the revolving line of credit in 1998. 

The Company recognized $993,000 of Joint Venture losses incurred on ATIII LLC
during the third quarter of 1998

Nine months ended September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997

Total revenues for the nine-month period ending September 27, 1998 were $44.7
million, compared with $45.3 million in the comparable period of 1997, a
decrease of $600,000 or 1%. Service revenues increased to $37.2 million during
the first nine months of 1998 from $32.9 million in the comparable period of
1997, an increase of $4.3 million or 13%.  Research and development revenues
decreased to $7.5 million during the first nine months of 1998 from $12.4
million in the comparable period of 1997, a decrease of $4.9 million or 40%. 
The decrease reflects the impact on revenue of the establishment, in January
1998, of ATIII LLC with Genzyme.  Had the AT-III program been structured on the
same basis during the during the first nine months of 1998 as the comparable
period of 1997, transgenic research revenues for the first nine months of 1998
would have increased approximately $700,000 from the same as the comparable
period of 1997.

Cost of services during the first nine-months of 1998 were $31.8 million
compared to $27.6 million in the comparable period of 1997, an increase of $4.2
million or 15% due to increased service revenues.  Sponsored research and
development expenses decreased to $7.1 million in the first nine months of 1998
from $8.4 million in the comparable period of 1997, a decrease of $1.3 million
or 15%.  The decrease is due to impact of the formation of ATIII LLC.  In 1997,
the full cost of the AT-III development program, including subcontractor costs,
was reflected by the Company as sponsored research and development expense and,
to the extent that the program was funded, as sponsored research and development
revenue.  With the formation of ATIII LLC in 1998, all funding and subcontractor
costs are recorded directly by ATIII LLC.  Costs incurred by the Company for the
AT-III development program are being funded by ATIII LLC and, therefore, only
these costs are being recorded equally as sponsored research and development
revenue and sponsored research and development expense.  Had the AT-III
development program been structured on the same basis during the first nine
months of 1998 as during the comparable period of 1997, the sponsored research
and development expenses would have increased by approximately $4.3 million over
the comparable period of 1997.  Internal research 


                                       9
<PAGE>


and development expenses increased to $5 million in the first nine months of 
1998 from $3.1 million in the comparable period of 1997, an increase of $1.9 
million or 61%.  The increase is due to increased work on the cancer vaccine 
program and an increase in activity on internal research programs.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 1998 amounted to $5.8 million versus
$9.3 million in the comparable period of 1997.  The decrease is primarily due to
$3.9 million of milestones recorded in 1997.  Gross profit on services for the
first nine months of 1998 was $5.5 million, a gross margin of 15%, versus $5.3
million, a gross margin of 16%, in the comparable period of 1997.  The decrease
in gross margin is due to increased revenue recognized on contracts signed in
the first quarter of 1997 for which costs had previously been incurred,
partially offset by improved efficiencies due to increased revenues.

SG&A expenses increased to $12 million in the first nine months of 1998 from
$10.8 million in the comparable period of 1997, an increase of $1.2 million or
11%.  The increase is due to the increased marketing effort for Primedica and to
the addition of administrative personnel required to support the growth in
transgenic research and development programs.

Interest income increased to $231,000 in the first nine months of 1998, from
$112,000 in the comparable period of 1997, due to an increase in funds available
for investment as a result of proceeds received from the preferred stock
offering in the first quarter and the sale of common stock in a registered
direct offering in the second quarter.  Interest expense increased to $1.1
million in the first nine months of 1998 from $733,000 in the comparable period
of 1997 due to higher borrowings in 1998. 

The Company recognized $2.7 million of Joint Venture losses incurred on ATIII
LLC during the first nine months of 1998.  In the first nine months of 1997, the
Company incurred $531,000 of Joint Venture losses on the SMIG JV.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.2 million at September 27,
1998.  During the first nine months of 1998, the Company had a $3.8 million net
increase in cash and cash equivalents.  Sources of funds during the period
included net proceeds of $19 million from the issuance of preferred stock, net
proceeds of $6.4 million from the issuance of common stock and $1.4 million of
proceeds received from employee stock purchase and stock option plans.  Cash
inflows were offset by $8.1 million of cash used in operations (due primarily to
the net loss of $14.6 million, of which $6.4 million represented non-cash
charges), $5.1 million invested in capital equipment, further expansion of the
transgenic production facility and the expansion of the laboratory facilities,
$7.5 million used to pay down the revolving lines of credit and $1.5 million
used to pay down long-term debt.

The Company had working capital of $2.1 million at September 27, 1998 compared
to a deficit of $8.4 million at December 30, 1997.  As of September 27, 1998,
the Company had approximately $6.4 million available under the Genzyme Credit
Line, $1.5 million available 


                                       10
<PAGE>


under a line of credit with a commercial bank and $1.8 million was available 
under various capital lease lines.  Under the Company's 1998 and 1999 
operating plans, existing cash balances, along with funds available under the 
bank and lease lines and the Genzyme Credit Line, are expected to be 
sufficient to fund the Company into the third quarter of 1999. The Company is 
considering various alternative financing strategies, such as collaborative 
arrangements, public or private sales of its securities, including securities 
in certain subsidiaries, additional mortgage or lease financing, asset sales 
and other sources.  

Management's current expectations regarding the sufficiency of the Company's
cash resources are forward-looking statements, and the Company's cash
requirements may vary materially from such expectations.  Such forward-looking
statements are dependent on several factors, including the results of the
Company's testing services business, the ability of the Company to enter into
any transgenic research and development collaborations in the future and the
terms of such collaborations, the results of research and development and
preclinical and clinical testing, competitive and technological advances,
regulatory requirements and the continuing availability of financing at
acceptable terms.  If the Company experiences increased losses, the Company may
have to seek additional financing through collaborative arrangements or from
public or private sales of its securities, including equity securities.  There
can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on terms
acceptable to the Company, if at all.  If additional financing cannot be
obtained on acceptable terms, to continue its operations the Company could be
forced to delay, scale back or eliminate certain of its research and development
programs or to enter into license agreements with third parties for the
commercialization of technologies or products that the Company would otherwise
undertake itself.

Impact of Year 2000

Certain companies may face problems if the computer processors and software upon
which they directly or indirectly rely are unable to process date values
correctly upon the turn of the millennium ("Year 2000").  Such a system failure
and corruption of data of the Company or its customers or suppliers could
disrupt the Company's operations, including, among other things a temporary
inability to process transactions or engage in other business activities or to
receive information or services from suppliers.

The Company has appointed a Year 2000 task force to address the issues and
assess the potential impact of the Year 2000 problem.  The task force is
evaluating the Company's financial systems, computers, software and other
equipment to ensure that the programs and systems will be Year 2000 compliant. 
The Company presently believes that its computer systems, software and other
equipment will be Year 2000 compliant by the spring of 1999.  The Company
estimates that it will spend approximately $300,000 to $400,000 in capital for
replacement of computers, equipment and software upgrades.  The Company will
incur another $100,000 to $200,000 for costs of implementation.

The Company will initiate communications with third party suppliers and is
requesting  that they represent that their products and services are to be Year
2000 compliant and that they have a 


                                       11
<PAGE>


program to test for compliance.  Additionally, the Company is assessing those 
vendors that are not Year 2000 compliant and is in the process of finding 
alternative vendors that are compliant.

Because the Company currently anticipates that it will achieve Year 2000
compliance, it has not formulated a contingency plan.  However, should the
Company determine there is significant risk that it may be unable to adhere to
its compliance timetable, it will assess reasonably likely scenarios resulting
from noncompliance and establish a contingency plan to address such scenarios.  

The Company's ability to achieve Year 2000 compliance is subject to various
uncertainties including the Company's ability to successfully identify systems
and programs not Year 2000 compliant, the nature and amount of  programming
required to correct or replace affected programs, the availability and magnitude
of labor and consulting costs and the success of the Company's business
partners, vendors and clients in addressing the Year 2000 issue.  Therefore,
while the financial impact of implementing Year 2000 compliance remediation has
not been and is not anticipated to be material to the Company's business,
financial position or results of operations, the Company can make no assurances
with respect to the costs of remediation efforts not yet incurred. 
Additionally, the Company cannot be certain that it will achieve adequate Year
200 compliance in a timely manner or that any impact of a failure to achieve
such compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operation.

                          GENZYME TRANSGENICS CORPORATION

                                CONSULTING AGREEMENT



     This Consulting Agreement dated as of July 1, 1998 is between James A. 
Geraghty (the "Consultant") and Genzyme Transgenics Corporation (the 
"Company"), a Delaware corporation.

In consideration of the mutual promises of the parties hereunder, it is agreed
as follows:

5.   Consulting Services. 

     1.1. The Company hereby retains the Consultant and the Consultant hereby
          agrees to serve as a consultant to the Company to assist the Company
          with its financial and strategic planning and to perform such other
          consulting and advisory services relating to the Business (as defined
          below) of the Company as the Company may from time to time determine
          (such consulting and advisory services being herein referred to as the
          "Services").  As used herein, the "Business" of the Company shall mean
          the activities of the Company in the research, development,
          manufacture, marketing, license and sale of transgenically produced
          proteins and related activities and the provision of contract research
          services and related activities.

     1.2. The Consultant agrees to make himself available to render the
          Services, at such time or times and location or locations as may be
          mutually agreed, from time to time as requested by the Company.  The
          Consultant agrees to devote his best efforts to performing the
          Services.  The Consultant agrees that he shall devote at least three
          business days per month to providing Services to the Company.  

     1.3. For the full, prompt and faithful performance of the Services, the
          Company shall pay the Consultant a fee at a daily rate of $1,200 for
          three days per month, representing $3,600 per month and  $43,200
          annually, payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar
          month.  The Company shall promptly reimburse the Consultant for
          reasonable expenses incurred by him in the performance of the Services
          in accordance with the policy and practice of the Company.  

2.   Developments

     2.1. The Consultant agrees to make full and prompt disclosure to the
          Company of all inventions, improvements, modifications, discoveries,
          methods, biological materials, and developments related to the
          Business of the Company and which result from the Consultant's
          participation in this consulting relationship, his involvement with
          employees and/or advisors of the Company and/or ideas and information
          supplied to him as part of his consulting duties and interactions (all
          of which are collectively termed "Developments" hereinafter), whether

          event the Consultant fails or refuses to execute and deliver any such
          documents or assignments requested by the Company.  The Consultant's
          obligation to assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents
          for Developments in any and all countries shall continue beyond the
          termination of this Agreement, but the Company shall compensate the
          Consultant at a reasonable rate after such termination for time
          actually spent at the Company's request on such assistance.

          authorization from such employer for the possession and use of such
          materials or documents.

3.        Confidentiality

     3.1. In the course of performing the Services, the Consultant may learn of
          the Company's confidential information or confidential information
          entrusted to the Company by other persons, corporations, or firms. 
          The Company's confidential information includes matters not generally
          known outside the Company, such as information relating to existing
          and future products and services marketed or used by the Company and
          data relating to the Business of the Company (e.g., concerning sales,
          costs, profits, organizations, customer lists, pricing methods, etc.),
          any reagents, chemical compounds, cell lines, or subcellular
          constituents, organisms or other biological materials or other
          Developments.  The Consultant agrees not to disclose any confidential
          information of the Company or of such other persons, corporations, or
          firms to others or to make use of such information, except on the
          Company's behalf, whether or not such information is produced by the
          Consultant's efforts.  The Consultant also may learn of Developments,
          ways of business, etc., which in themselves are generally known but
          the use of which by the Company is not generally known, and the
          Consultant agrees not to disclose to others such use, whether or not
          such use is due to the Consultant's own efforts.

     3.2. The Consultant agrees that he will not make any notes or memoranda
          relating to the Business of the Company otherwise than for the benefit
          of the Company and will not at any time use or permit to be used any
          such notes or memoranda otherwise than for the benefit of the Company.

     3.3. The Consultant agrees to submit to the Company in sufficient time to
          enable the Company to ascertain whether a manuscript to be published
          contains Company confidential information and/or discloses a
          potentially patentable invention to which the Company has rights an
          early draft of such manuscript if such manuscript contains information
          as to specific areas of the Business designated by the Company as to
          which the Consultant is providing active consulting services.  The
          Consultant shall cooperate with the Company in this respect and shall
          delete from the manuscript any confidential information of the Company
          as requested by the Company and shall assist the Company as requested
          by the Company in filing for patent protection (prior to publication
          of such manuscript) for any inventions in and to which the Company has
          rights.

4.        Non-Competition.

     4.1. So long as this Agreement continues in effect, the Consultant shall
          not enter into a consulting arrangement with any other person,
          corporation, or firm which is engaged in any business or activity
          similar to and competitive with the Business of the Company, except
          for such other arrangements approved by the Company in writing and
          signed by the President of the Company.

     4.2. For a period of one (1) year commencing on the date on which this
          Agreement is terminated, the Consultant, alone or as a partner,
          officer, director, consultant, employee, stockholder or otherwise,
          will not engage (directly or indirectly) in any activities or render
          any services similar or reasonably related to the Services or any
          other activities

<PAGE>


          engaged in or services rendered by the Consultant to the Company 
          during any part of the two-year period preceding termination of 
          this Agreement for any trade or business which directly competes 
          with the Company in any place where the Business of the Company 
          is engaged in (or planned to be engaged in), whether now existing 
          or hereafter established, nor shall the Consultant engage in such 
          activities nor render such services for any other person or entity 
          engaged or about to become engaged in such activities to, for or on
          behalf of any such trade or business.

          the Consultant will not solicit or in any manner encourage employees
          of the Company to leave their employ.  The Consultant further agrees
          that during such period the Consultant will not offer or cause to be
          offered employment to any person who was employed by the Company at
          any time during the six (6) months prior to the termination of this
          Agreement.

     4.4. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Consultant agrees to leave
          with the Company all records, drawings, notebooks, and other documents

          by the Consultant or others, and also any equipment, tools or other
          devices owned by the Company, then in possession of the Consultant
          however such items are obtained, and the Consultant agrees not to
          reproduce any document or data relating thereto.

5.        Miscellaneous.

     5.1. The Consultant agrees that any breach of this Agreement by him could
          cause irreparable damage to the Company and that in the event of such
          breach the Company shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief,
          including, without limitation, specific performance or other equitable
          relief to prevent the violation of his obligations hereunder.  It is
          expressly understood and agreed that nothing herein contained shall be
          construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies
          available for such breach or threatened breach, including, without
          limitation, the recovery of damages by the Company.

     5.2. This Agreement shall terminate on June 30, 2000, or on an earlier
          date, if terminated by the Company with cause and provided that this
          Agreement may be extended by the mutual agreement of the parties
          beyond June 30, 2000, on a year-to-year basis.  The obligations of the
          Consultant hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement
          regardless of the manner of such termination, and shall be binding
          upon the heirs, executors, and administrators of the Consultant.

     5.3. It is understood and agreed that the Consultant's relationship to the
          Company is that of an independent contractor and that neither this
          Agreement nor the Services to be rendered hereunder shall for any
          purpose whatsoever or in any way or manner create any
          employer-employee relationship between the parties.

     5.4. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be delivered or
          sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,

          other address as such party may designate in writing to the other.


                                       23

     5.5. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
          parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and
          permitted assigns.  The Consultant agrees that the Company may assign
          this Agreement to any person or entity controlled by, in control of,
          or under common control with, the Company.  The Services to be
          rendered by the Consultant are personal in nature.  The Consultant may
          not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of his rights or
          obligations hereunder except to a corporation of which he is the sole
          stockholder.  In no event shall the Consultant assign or delegate
          responsibility for actual performance of the Services to any other
          natural person.

     5.6. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties as
          to the subject matter hereof.  No provision of this Agreement shall be
          waived, altered or cancelled except in writing signed by the party
          against whom such waiver, alteration or cancellation is asserted.  Any
          such waiver shall be limited to the particular instance and the
          particular time when and for which it is given.

     5.7. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
          the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

     5.8. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof as to an
          obligation of a party shall in no way affect the validity or
          enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, provided that
          if such invalidity or unenforceability materially adversely affects
          the benefits the other party reasonably expected to receive hereunder,
          that party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. 
          Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
          shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to scope,
          activity or subject so as to be unenforceable at law, such provision
          or provisions shall be construed by limiting or reducing it or them,
          so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable
          law as it shall then appear.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement under seal
as of the date first above written.
