THE SECOND 2004 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AND DEFERRED

COMPENSATION PROGRAM UNDER THE MEDAREX, INC.

2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN


 


1.             Introduction


 


This
Second 2004 Restricted Stock Unit Award and Deferred Compensation Program under
the Medarex, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “Program”) is intended to promote
the interests of the Company and its shareholders by paying a portion of the
Bonus of a Participant in the form of units of measurement relating to the
value of the Company’s common stock.  The

vesting period.  The purpose of the
Program is to provide a select group of management and highly compensated

their compensation payable for services rendered to the Company.  It is intended that the Program will assist
in retaining qualified individuals to serve as officers of the Company.

Bonus as a Base Award pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof.  Such Voluntary Deferral shall be made on the
basis of a Participant’s written election stating the

Participant’s Base Award and the Company’s Matching Contribution.  The Base Award shall be determined by
dividing (i) the aggregate dollar amount of the percentage of the Participant’s
Bonus that is designated by the Participant under Section 4(a) hereof to be
converted into a Restricted Stock Unit Award, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock at the time the Bonus is awarded.  The Restricted Stock Unit Award shall consist
of the Base Award plus the Company’s Matching Contribution.  Such Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be
credited to the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Account.


 


c.             Dividend Equivalents


 


As
of any date that cash dividends are paid with respect to the Common Stock from
time to time, each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be credited with an
additional number of Restricted Stock Units determined by dividing (i) the
aggregate dollar amount of the dividends that would have been paid on that
Restricted Stock Unit Award for such dividend had the underlying Restricted
Stock Units been actual Common Stock by (ii) the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock on the dividend payment date.


 


d.             Certain Adjustments


 


If
there shall occur any recapitalization, reclassification, share dividend, share
split, reverse share split, or other distribution with respect to the Common
Stock, or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, the
Committee may, in the manner and to the extent that it deems appropriate and
equitable to the Participants and consistent with the terms of this Program,
cause an adjustment to be made in the Participants’ Restricted Stock Unit
Accounts.  It is intended that in making
such adjustments, the Committee will seek to put each Participant in the same economic
position the Participant was in prior to the change (but without duplication of
any benefits that may be provided under Section 4(c) hereof).  Except as is expressly provided in this
Section, Participants shall have no rights as a result of any such change in
the Common Stock or other event.


 


5.             Vesting of Restricted Stock Unit Awards


 


For
any given Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Base Award shall be fully vested at
all times.  The Matching Contribution
shall be 25% vested as of the Grant Date. 
So long as the Participant remains employed by the Company, and subject
to Section 7 hereof, an additional 25% of the Matching Contribution shall vest
on each anniversary of the Grant Date until the Matching Contribution is fully
vested.

6.             Distribution of Benefits


 


a.     Subject to Section 7 hereof, a Participant
shall be entitled to a benefit under the Program with respect to each
Restricted Stock Unit Award upon the third anniversary of the Grant Date for such
Restricted Stock Unit Award. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 7 hereof, a
Participant may, at least twelve (12) months prior to an expected distribution
date, elect to defer such distribution. 
The election shall be made in writing and in the form required by the
Committee.  Unless deferred as set forth
above, benefits under the Program shall be distributed in a single payment and
shall be paid exclusively in the form of Common Stock.


 


b.     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
in the event a Participant’s employment is terminated for any reason prior to
the third anniversary of the Grant Date, all vested benefits shall be
distributed as of the date of such termination.


 


c.     All payments of the benefits under this
Program shall be made within fifteen (15) days of the date the Participant
shall be entitled to receive a benefit hereunder.


 


7.             Termination of Employment

the Company is terminated for Cause, or by reason of such Participant’s
voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason), all unvested benefits
hereunder shall be fully and immediately forfeited.  For the avoidance of doubt, termination by
reason of the Permanent Disability or death of the Participant shall not be deemed
to be “for Cause, or by reason of such Participant’s voluntary resignation”.


 


b.             In the event a Participant’s employment with
the Company is terminated for any reason other than as described in the first
sentence of Section 7(a) above, all of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit
Awards (including the full Matching Contribution) shall become fully and
immediately vested.


 


c.             As used herein, the term “Cause” shall be
limited to actions on the part of the Participant which constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance or non-performance of the
Participant’s duties with the Company or a material breach by the Participant
of the terms of any employment arrangement entered into between the Participant
and the Company, so long as such material breach is not caused by the Company.


 


d.             As used herein the term “Permanent Disability”
shall mean the Participant’s absence from work as a result of personal injury,
sickness or

other

days.


 


e.             As used herein, the term “Good Reason” shall
be mean the following actions by the Company without the Participant’s express
written consent:


 


i.      The assignment to the Participant of any
duties or responsibilities that results in a material diminution in the
Participant’s position or function; provided, however,
that a change in the Participant’s title or reporting relationships shall not
provide the basis for a termination with good reason;


 


ii.     A relocation of the Participant’s business
office to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the location at which the
Participant performs duties as of the Grant Date, except for required travel by
the Participant on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent
with the Participant’s business travel obligations as of the Grant Date; or


 


iii.    A material breach by the Company of any
provision of any employment arrangement or any other material agreement between
the Participant and the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
Participant’s employment.


 


8.             Change in Control


 


Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of a Change in Control of
the Company as defined under the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan, all of a
Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Awards (including the full Matching
Contribution) shall become fully and immediately vested.  In such event, all benefits payable under
this Program shall be distributed within fifteen (15) days of the date of such
Change in Control.


 


9.             Beneficiaries


 


Any
payment required to be made to a Participant hereunder that cannot be made to
the Participant because of his death shall be made to the Participant’s
beneficiary or beneficiaries, subject to applicable law.  Each Participant shall have the right to
designate in writing from time to time a beneficiary or beneficiaries by filing
a written notice of such designation with the Committee.  In the event a beneficiary designated by the
Participant does not survive the Participant and no successor beneficiary is
selected, or in the event no valid designation has been made, such Participant’s
beneficiary shall be such Participant’s estate.

10.           Unfunded Status

Program shall be unfunded, and all benefits payable to Participants under the
Program represent merely unfunded, unsecured promises of the Company to provide
a benefit to the Participant in the future.


 


11.           Transfers Prohibited


 


No
transfer (other than pursuant to Section 9 hereof) by a Participant of any
right to any payment hereunder, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation
of law or otherwise, and whether by means of alienation by anticipation, sale,
transfer, assignment, bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge, or encumbrance of
any kind, shall vest the transferee with any interest or right, and any attempt
to so alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, attach, charge, or otherwise
encumber any such amount, whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be
void and of no force or effect.


 


12.           Limitation of Rights


 


Nothing
contained in the Program shall confer upon any Participant any right (i) as a
shareholder of the Company or (ii) with respect to the continuation of the
Participant’s status as an employee of the Company.


 


13.           Termination and Amendment


 


The
Program may be terminated at any time by the Committee and the Program may be
amended by the Committee from time to time in any respect; provided, however,
that no such termination or amendment may reduce the value of Restricted Stock
Units theretofore credited or creditable to a Participant’s Restricted Stock
Unit Account without the affected Participant’s prior written consent.


 


14.           Withholding Taxes


 


Where
a Participant or other person is entitled to receive a payment pursuant to the
Program, the Company shall withhold, or make suitable arrangements with the
Participant for the payment of, the amount of any taxes that the Company may be
required to withhold before delivery to such Participant or other person of
such payment.


 


15.           Choice of Law


 


The
Program and all rights hereunder shall be subject to and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without reference to the
