ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. Not Applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. Not Applicable. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 67 of chapter 156B of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law grants the Registrant the power to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent to whatever extent permitted by the Registrant's Restated Articles of Organization, By-Laws or a vote adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon, if such indemnitee acted (a) in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the corporation or (b) to the extent that the matter for which indemnification is sought relates to service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan. Such indemnification may include payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if he shall be adjudicated to be not entitled to indemnification under the statute. 3 4 Article VI of the Registrant's By-Laws provides that the Registrant shall, to the extent legally permissible, indemnify each person who may serve or who has served at any time as a director or officer of the corporation or of any of its subsidiaries, or who at the request of the corporation may serve or at any time has served as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another organization or an employee benefit plan, against all expenses and liabilities (including counsel fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes, penalties and amounts payable in settlements) reasonably incurred by or imposed upon such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which he may become involved by reason of his serving or having served in such capacity (other than a proceeding voluntarily initiated by such person unless he is successful on the merits, the proceeding was authorized by the corporation or the proceeding seeks a declaratory judgment regarding his own conduct). Such indemnification shall include payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if he shall be adjudicated to be not entitled to indemnification under Article VI, which undertaking may be accepted without regard to the financial ability of such person to make repayment. The indemnification provided for in Article VI is a contract right inuring to the benefit of the directors, officers and others entitled to indemnification. In addition, the indemnification is expressly not exclusive of any other rights to which such director, officer or other person may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law, and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The Registrant also has in place agreements with certain officers and directors which affirm the Registrant's obligation to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by law and contain various procedural and other provisions which expand the protection afforded by the Registrant's By-Laws. Section 13(b)(1/2) of chapter 156B of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law provides that a corporation may, in its Articles of Organization, eliminate the directors' personal liability to the corporation and its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, except in circumstances involving (i) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unauthorized distributions and loans to insiders, and (iv) transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Section VI.C.5 of the Registrant's Restated Articles of Organization provides that no director shall be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such exculpation is not permitted under the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law as in effect when such liability is determined. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not Applicable. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS. See Exhibit Index immediately following the signature page. ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: 4 5 (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 5 6 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Cambridge, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on this 8th day of August, 1997.

The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain qualified persons to serve as Directors of the Company and to encourage ownership of stock of the Company by such Directors so as to provide additional incentives to promote the success of the Company. 1. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. Grants of stock options under the Plan shall be automatic as provided in Section 6. However, all questions of interpretation with respect to the Plan and options granted under it shall be determined by a committee consisting of all Directors of the Company who are not eligible to participate in the Plan, and such determination shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan. 2. PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN. Members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") who are not also officers or employees of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. 3. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. 11 2 (a) The aggregate number of shares of each class of Common Stock which may be optioned under this plan is 233,600 shares of Genzyme General Division Common Stock ("GGD Stock"), 100,000 shares of Genzyme Tissue Repair Division Common Stock ("GTR Stock"), and 70,000 shares of Genzyme Molecular Oncology Division Common Stock ("GMO Stock"). A reference to a class of common stock also means each separate series of a single class. In the event of a stock dividend, split-up, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization or other similar capital change relating to the Common Stock, the maximum aggregate number and kind of shares or securities of the Company as to which options may be granted under this Plan and as to which options then outstanding shall be exercisable, and the option price of such options, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board (whose determination shall be conclusive) so as to preserve the value of the option. (b) In the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation where the Company's stockholders do not own a majority in interest of the surviving or resulting corporation, or the sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a reorganization or liquidation of the Company, any deferred exercise period shall be automatically accelerated and each holder of an outstanding option shall be entitled to receive upon exercise and payment in accordance with the terms of the option the same shares, securities or property as he would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such event if he had been, immediately prior to such event, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under his or her option or, if another corporation shall be the survivor, such corporation shall substitute therefor substantially equivalent shares, securities or property of such other corporation; provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing the Board may upon written notice to each holder of an outstanding option or right provide that such option or right shall terminate on a date not less than 20 days after the date of such notice unless theretofore exercised. (c) Whenever options under this Plan lapse or terminate or otherwise become unexercisable the shares of Common Stock which were subject to such options may again be subjected to options under this Plan. The Company shall at all times while this Plan is in force reserve such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Plan. 4. NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS All options granted under this Plan shall be non-statutory options not entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 5. FORM OF OPTIONS Options granted hereunder shall be in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit A or in such other form as the Board may from time to time determine. 6. GRANT OF OPTIONS AND OPTION TERMS. 12 3 (a) INITIAL GRANT OF GGD STOCK OPTIONS. Upon the original adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company, initial options to purchase GGD Stock were automatically granted to the following Directors in the amounts set forth opposite their respective names, giving effect to the 2:1 stock split of the GGD Stock on July 25, 1996:

(c) INITIAL GRANT OF GMO STOCK OPTIONS. Upon the effective date of the Company's acquisition of PharmaGenics, Inc., initial options to purchase 2,700 shares of GMO Stock were automatically granted to each Director then in office who is not also an officer or employee of the Company. (d) AUTOMATIC GRANT OF OPTIONS. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, those Directors to be elected or re-elected at that meeting who are eligible to receive options under the Plan shall automatically be granted, for each year of the term of office to which they are elected, options to purchase (i) 4,000 shares of GGD Stock, (ii) a number of shares of GTR Stock equal to 1,000 times a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value of the GGD Stock and the denominator of which is the Fair Market Value of the GTR Stock, and (iii) a number of shares of GMO Stock equal to 1,000 times a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value of the GGD Stock and the denominator of which is the Fair Market Value of the GMO Stock. In addition, upon the election of an eligible Director under the Plan other than at an annual meeting of stockholders (whether by the Board of Directors or the stockholders and whether to fill a vacancy or otherwise), such Director shall automatically be granted options to purchase the number of shares of GGD Stock, GTR Stock and GMO Stock described in the preceding sentence for each year or portion thereof of the term of office to which he or she is elected. The "Date of Grant" for options granted under this Plan shall be (i) the date this Plan is initially adopted by the Board of Directors for the initial options to purchase GGD Stock, (ii) the effective date of the Company's acquisition of BioSurface Technology, Inc. for the initial options to purchase GTR Stock, (iii) the effective date of the Company's acquisition of PharmaGenics, Inc. for the initial options to purchase GMO Stock and (iv) the date of election or re-election as a Director, as the case may be, for all subsequent options. No options shall be granted hereunder after ten years from the date on which this Plan was initially approved and adopted by the Board of Directors. As used herein, "Fair Market Value" for each class of the Common Stock shall mean the last sale price for such class as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System on the Date of Grant of such options. 13 4 (e) OPTION PRICE. The option price for each option granted under this Plan shall equal to the Fair Market Value of the class of common stock with respect to which the option is exercisable. (f) TERM OF OPTION. The term of each option granted under this Plan shall be ten years from the Date of Grant. (g) PERIOD OF EXERCISE. (i) Options to purchase GGD Stock initially granted upon adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors became exercisable with respect to the number of shares indicated below on the date of the annual meetings of stockholders of the Company set forth opposite the number of shares (giving effect to the 2:1 stock split of the GGD Stock on July 25, 1996) if and only if the option holder was a member of the Board of Directors of the Company at the opening of business on that date:

(ii) Options to purchase GTR Stock initially granted upon the effective date of the Company's acquisition of BioSurface Technology, Inc. were exercisable in full on their Date of Grant. (iii) Options to purchase GMO Stock initially granted upon the effective date of the Company's acquisition of PharmaGenics, Inc. were exercisable in full on their Date of Grant. (iv) Options granted under this Plan at an annual meeting of stockholders shall become exercisable with respect to one-third of the total number of shares of each class of Common Stock on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders following their Date of Grant, if and only if the option holder is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company at the opening of business on that date (for example, if options to purchase a total of 12,000 shares of GGD Stock and 1,500 shares of GTR Stock are granted to a Director at the 1998 annual meeting, the options will become exercisable with respect to 4,000 shares of GGD Stock, 500 shares of GTR Stock and 500 shares of GMO Stock at each of the 1999, 2000 and 2001 annual meetings). Directors holding exercisable options under this Plan who cease to serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Company may, during their lifetime, exercise the rights they had under such options at the time they ceased being a Director for the full unexpired term of such option. Upon the death of a Director, those entitled to do so under the Director's will or the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right, at any time within twelve 14 5 months after the date of death, to exercise in whole or in part any rights which were available to the Director at the time of his or her death. Options granted under the Plan shall terminate, and no rights thereunder may be exercised, after the expiration of the applicable exercise period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, no rights under any options may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from their Date of Grant. (h) METHOD OF EXERCISE AND PAYMENT. Options may be exercised only by written notice to the Company at its head office accompanied by payment of the full option price for the shares of Stock as to which they are exercised. The option price shall be paid in cash or by check. Upon receipt of such notice and payment, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to the optionee (or other person entitled to exercise the option) a certificate or certificates for the number of shares as to which the exercise is made. (i) NON-TRANSFERABILITY. Options granted under this Plan shall not be transferable by the holder thereof otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable, during the holder's lifetime, only by him or her. 7. LIMITATION OF RIGHTS. (a) NO RIGHT TO CONTINUE AS A DIRECTOR. Neither the Plan, nor the granting of an option or any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute an agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will retain an optionee as a Director for any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation. (b) NO STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS FOR OPTIONS. Directors shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by their options until the date they exercise such options and pay the option price to the Company, and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such option is exercised and paid for. 8. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. The Company's Board may amend or terminate this Plan at any time, provided that (i) an increase of the aggregate number of shares of GGD Stock, GTR Stock or GMO Stock which may be optioned under this Plan (except as permitted by Section 2 of the Plan), (ii) material modification of the requirements as to eligibility for participation under this Plan, and (iii) a material increase in benefits to participants under this Plan are subject to approval by stockholders of the Company within 12 months from the date of such amendment by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Stock of the Company present, or represented and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with the laws of Massachusetts. In the event such approval is not obtained, options granted subsequent to any such amendment shall not be entitled to the benefit thereof, or if the amendment increases the aggregate number of shares of the Company which may be optioned under this plan and sufficient shares are not otherwise available under this Plan, shall be void and without effect. 15
