Agenda Plan for shareholder value creation Genzyme’s board and leadership Icahn’s proxy fight Concluding remarks

Our Assessment of Icahn’s Proxy Icahn provided no constructive input or perspective on the company prior to threatening a last minute proxy fight and still has not done so, despite our actively soliciting his views Icahn applies a “one size fits all” approach that is inappropriate for Genzyme’s current situation The dissident slate lacks operational, manufacturing or regulatory experience Dissident slate poses serious antitrust problems and fundamental conflict of interests

Icahn’s “One Size Fits All” Approach Is Inappropriate for Genzyme Icahn’s stated thesis: All biotechnology companies should be owned by Big Pharma However, this approach has not led to a successful outcome at Biogen Idec Icahn’s attempt to oust the current team could impact Genzyme’s recovery that is underway Resolving manufacturing issues Stabilizing Cerezyme and Fabrazyme market share Maximizing alemtuzumab potential in multiple sclerosis Icahn’s approach resulted in overlooking serious antitrust and conflicts issues

Dissident Slate Lacks Operational Expertise Name Age Experience Concerns Carl Icahn  74 Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Icahn Enterprises Corporate raider reinvented as a shareholder activist Substantial operational missteps (e.g., TWA, Blockbuster, and Motorola) Lack of industry knowledge Over boarding Conflict of interest Alexander Denner  40 Managing Director, Icahn Enterprises Securities analyst turned hedge fund manager Lack of operational experience Over boarding Antitrust and conflict of interest Richard Mulligan  55 Mallinckrodt Professor of Genetics; Harvard Medical School; Director, Harvard Gene Therapy Initiative Lack of operational experience Antitrust and conflict of interest Steven Burakoff  67 Professor of Medicine, Hematology and Medical Oncology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine; Director, Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai Medical Center Lack of operational or industry experience

Violating Section 8 of the Clayton Act Individuals Cannot Simultaneously Serve on Boards of Competitors The two corporations are “engaged in whole or in part in commerce” The two corporations are “by virtue of their business and location of operation, competitors, so that the elimination of competition by agreement between them would constitute a violation of any of the antitrust laws”; and Each of the corporations has “capital, surplus and undivided profits” aggregating more than $25,841,000 The law provides that no person shall, at the same time, serve as a director in any two corporations where:

Genzyme and Biogen Directly Compete in the Oncology Market Biogen’s billion dollar product, Rituxan, competes with the following Genzyme products in multiple disease areas: Solid Organ Transplant, Graft vs. Host Disease and Aplastic Anemia Thymoglobulin Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Clolar Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Leukine Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Fludara Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Solid Organ Transplant Campath Disease Area Product Additionally, Rituxan also competes with Genzyme’s Campath in Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Clolar in acute myeloid leukemia, Leukine in acute myeloid leukemia and Mozobil in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

The Election of Dr. Denner or Dr. Mulligan Would Violate the Clayton Act Dr. Denner and Dr. Mulligan are both directors of Biogen. All three statutory conditions for a violation are met: Genzyme and Biogen are clearly engaged in commerce, Genzyme and Biogen are direct competitors in the oncology market, and Genzyme and Biogen have capital, surplus and undivided profits well in excess of the statutory minimum. 2009 sales of competitive products exceed the statutory exceptions for de minimis overlap. Clayton Act Section 8 violations have increasingly become a focus of regulators and shareholders, as seen by reports of FTC investigation into interlocking directors at Apple and Google and at Amazon and Google, as well as the settlement of a derivative suit against the Sears Holdings Corp.

Competition Between Genzyme and Biogen is Expected to Increase Substantially The two companies will compete head-to-head in the MS space: Biogen is heavily reliant on its MS franchise - Avonex and Tysabri account for a majority of Biogen’s revenues, and Biogen has two additional MS products in clinical trials. Genzyme’s alemtuzumab for MS, which is currently in two Phase III clinical trials, is Genzyme’s most significant development program, both in terms of aggregate financial expenditures and potential future earnings impact. Alemtuzumab for MS could fundamentally alter treatment of MS with the potential to be a once yearly treatment and, accordingly, represents a significant threat to Biogen's MS franchise. The timing, marketing approach, expected dosing, and pricing of alemtuzumab for MS are all intensely sensitive from a competitive standpoint. It is certain the Genzyme board will focus on these issues on an increasingly frequent basis. Source: Biogen Idec Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on 2/9/10.

Mr. Icahn, Dr. Denner, and Dr. Mulligan Have Substantial Financial Interests in Biogen That Put Them at Cross-Purposes with Genzyme Dr. Denner and Dr. Mulligan both own Biogen stock and options. Dr. Denner, as managing director of Icahn Enterprises, LP, also beneficially owns a portion of Mr. Icahn’s Biogen holdings. Source: Forms 4 filed by Drs. Denner & Mulligan on 6/12/09 and 6/11/09, respectively, a Schedule 13D/A filed by Mr. Icahn and his affiliates on 1/28/10, and a preliminary proxy statement filed by Mr. Icahn and his affiliates on 4/6/10. All values are based on a closing price of Biogen stock of $56.52 and Genzyme stock of $52.80 on 4/9/10. In comparison, Mr. Icahn’s interest in Biogen is over 30% larger than his interest in Genzyme. Neither Dr. Denner nor Dr. Mulligan directly hold any Genzyme shares. Interest in Biogen Shares & Options $253,500 Mulligan $253,500 Denner $908,573,469 Icahn

Icahn’s Biogen Conflicts and Problematic Incentives Are Immediate Concerns Genzyme anticipates a launch of alemtuzumab for MS in 2012 and is currently developing its overall launch plan strategy, including proprietary market research, compiling pharmacoeconomic data, planning launch sequencing, and evaluating pricing. These activities will continue during the next director term and will be discussed regularly at board meetings. How Genzyme invests in, prices, markets, and delivers alemtuzumab for MS will have a direct and substantial impact on Genzyme and Biogen. Mr. Icahn, Dr. Denner, and Dr. Mulligan have substantial financial incentives to allocate resources away from, and otherwise undermine, alemtuzumab for MS in order to protect the Biogen franchise. Even with the best intentions, it is inconceivable how the detailed information concerning Genzyme’s key future product will not affect how Mr. Icahn, Dr. Denner, and Dr. Mulligan influence Biogen in its approach to the MS market.

The Biogen Conflict Prevents Mr. Icahn, Dr. Denner, and Dr. Mulligan From Serving as Effective Directors of Genzyme The importance of alemtuzumab for MS to Genzyme means that it will be discussed regularly by the board in contexts that are not separate and discrete – for instance, discussions on allocating capital to products will involve discussions of alemtuzumab for MS. Given the increasingly frequent and detailed discussions around alemtuzumab for MS, recusal from these decisions is not a realistic option and would compromise the value of Mr. Icahn, Dr. Denner, and Dr. Mulligan as Genzyme directors from the start. Genzyme shareholders should not be left to wonder if their directors are always acting in Genzyme’s best interests. Genzyme shareholders deserve directors who will participate fully in an informed manner in important decisions the Board expects to address during their term.

Our Conclusion: Icahn’s Nominees Are Tainted By Fundamental Conflicts of Interest The election of Dr. Denner or Dr. Mulligan would produce a clear violation of the Clayton Act. Mr. Icahn, Dr. Denner, and Dr. Mulligan have substantial interests in Biogen that fundamentally compromise their ability to serve as independent directors of Genzyme and act in the best interests of Genzyme shareholders. The development of alemtuzumab for MS, Genzyme’s most important pipeline product, is the clearest example of Mr. Icahn’s, Dr. Denner’s, and Dr. Mulligan’s conflicts of interest. Even with the best intentions, Mr. Icahn, Dr. Denner, and Dr. Mulligan would not be able to participate in important decisions the Genzyme board faces in the coming director term. Genzyme shareholders cannot expect Dr. Denner, Dr. Mulligan, or Dr. Burakoff to act independently due to their relationships with Mr. Icahn.

CASH FLOW RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL CALCULATION

(in millions, except percentages)

The company uses Cash Flow Return on Tangible Invested Capital (CFROI) as a measure of the efficiency and effectiveness of its use of capital.  CFROI is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner.  This non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures.

We define CFROI as follows:

	Total Adjusted Cash Profits
Average Tangible Invested Capital
We define Adjusted Cash Profits as follows:		We define Tangible Invested Capital as follows:
GAAP net income (loss)		Total assets
+ Operating lease expense		- Non-interest bearing liabilities (d)
+ Depreciation expense		- Deferred taxes
+ Amortization expense, net of tax		+ Capitalized research and development (e)
- Other income (expenses), net of tax		+ Capitalized operating leases (f)
+ Other non-operating items, net of tax		+ Accumulated depreciation
+ Acquisition related expense, net of tax		- Goodwill and intangibles, net
+ Non-GAAP research and development expense		- Excess cash (g)
= Total Adjusted Cash Profits		- Long-term investments
		=Total Tangible Invested Capital
We define Average Tangible Invested Capital as follows:
Prior year  tangible invested capital
+ Current year tangible invested capital divided by 2
= Average Tangible Invested Capital

Business Unit CFROI Calculation

Solely for purposes of management reporting of CFROI by business unit, certain of Genzyme’s corporate expenses, income, assets and liabilities have been distributed to the business units.  A large portion of Genzyme’s fixed assets are considered corporate assets because the assets support the manufacturing of multiple products.  Corporate G&A is distributed amongst the business units based on revenue.  In addition, cash, long-term investments and investments in equity securities are also considered corporate assets and are distributed to the business units based on net income(loss).  Business units incurring net losses were charged with negative cash, long-term investments and investments in equity securities balances.  Genzyme has treated the total of cash, long-term investments and investments in equity securities, if negative, as a loan and charges interest expense to the borrowing business units and credits interest income to the loaning business units.  Genzyme provides CFROI by business unit data for its significant business units only.  Therefore, the individual CFROI by business unit calculations are not intended to aggregate to Genzyme’s overall CFROI calculation.

Notes:

(1) Represents the adjusted Non-GAAP results of operations and financial position for Genzyme Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2006.  All other amounts presented herein represent previously reported amounts.  We believe that certain Non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance the overall understanding of the company’s past financial performance and its prospects for the future.  The Non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of the trends underlying our operating results and financial position and are among the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the company’s performance.  Such Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for GAAP.

(2) Common stock equivalents are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share to the extent they are dilutive.  Due to the significant IPR&D charge for AnorMED of $552,900K, Genzyme had a GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 and, therefore, the effect of options, stock purchase rights and warrants to purchase shares of Genzyme Stock, which we refer to collectively as common stock equivalents, and the potentially dilutive effect of our 1.25% convertible notes are excluded from the calculation of GAAP diluted net loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.  Conversely, on a Non-GAAP basis, Genzyme produced a net profit and, therefore, the common stock equivalents are included in the calculation of Non-GAAP diluted net income per share because the effect is dilutive.  Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excludes the potentially dilutive effect of our 1.25% convertible notes.
