Dear Don:

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) will confirm our understanding with regard to your employment with Medarex, Inc. (the “Company”). We have agreed as follows:

1. This letter shall be considered as notice of non-renewal of your employment with the Company effective as of the end of the current term on January 4, 2007 (the “Separation Date”) pursuant to Section 2 of your employment agreement with the Company dated January 5, 2004 (the “Employment Agreement”). You hereby accept this notice and waive the notice period for non-renewal provided under the Employment Agreement.

2. You hereby resign as a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (and as an officer and director of any wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of the Company) as of the date hereof. You will resign as director of Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. when it is contractually permissible for you and the Company. From the date hereof until the Separation Date, you shall provide full-time executive level transition services to the Company as reasonably requested by it but you shall not be obligated to be in the office to provide such services except from time to time as reasonably required by the Company.

3. You hereby waive any right to the cash severance benefits under Section 6.A(1) of the Employment Agreement. However, you shall retain your rights thereunder to continued medical and life insurance benefits, and to exercise the vested stock options previously granted to you for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Separation Date (or, if earlier, the expiration of the stated period of the stock options). You shall also receive any accrued amounts for unpaid base salary, accrued but unused vacation time in accordance with the Company’s policy, and any unreimbursed business expenses in accordance with the Company’s policy. You shall retain all of your accrued and vested rights under all of the Company’s welfare (other than severance), pension and equity compensation plans.

4. From January 5, 2007 until March, 25, 2007, you shall serve as an independent contractor consultant to the Company, providing executive level transition consulting services to the Company at such times as mutually agreed upon between you and the Company based on a good faith request, but in no event more than fifteen (15) hours per week. You shall be paid a monthly fee for such consulting services of $69,825 per month, payable on each of January 5, 2007, February 5, 2007 and March 5, 2007 (pro rated).

5. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Medarex, Inc. 2004 Restricted Stock Unit Award and Deferred Compensation Program under the Medarex, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan and the Medarex, Inc. Second 2004 Restricted Stock Unit Award and Deferred Compensation Program under the Medarex, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan, you shall become fully vested in the unvested share units previously granted to you in respect of the Company’s match on your deferred bonus compensation. Distribution of your account balances under such programs shall be made in shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of such programs.

6. Your rights to indemnification and advancement of legal fees under the By-Laws of the Company, as well as under other organizational documents, contractually or at law, shall continue with regard to actions or inactions by you while a director or officer of the Company (and the legal fees incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed covered thereby), to the extent permissible by law. In addition, the Company shall continue to cover you under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on the same basis as other former officers and directors.

7. All outstanding stock options granted to you at less than fair market value on the measurement date as determined by the Company’s Special Investigation Committee shall hereby be deemed clarified and/or modified so that the exercise price thereof equals the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date. For these purposes, the measurement date is the date used by the Company in its restated financial statements. The Company shall notify you of the new exercise price promptly after it files its restated financial statements.

8. In connection with stock options granted to you at less than fair market value on the measurement date, as determined by the Company’s Special Investigation Committee, that have been exercised by you, and in full settlement of amounts due with regard thereto, you hereby agree to pay to the Company an amount to be determined later, constituting gross gains from the difference in stock price between the record grant date and the correct measurement date, plus the treasury rate interest from the date of each exercise until the date of repayment. In addition, you shall refund to the Company the excess value of stock (over $250,000) that you received as stock bonus in 2001, valued on the day you received the stock, plus the treasury rate interest from the day you received the stock until repayment.

9. You hereby generally and completely waive and release the Company and its directors, officers, employees and their respective assigns from any and all claims, liabilities and obligations, both known and unknown, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions occurring at any time prior to and including the date you sign this Agreement. This general release includes, but is not limited to: (1) all claims arising out of or in any way related to your employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; and (2) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including, but not limited to, claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination. You hereby acknowledge that you have been advised by this writing, as required by the ADEA, that: (a) your waiver and release do not apply to any rights or claims that may arise after the execution date of this Agreement; (b) you have been advised hereby that you have the right to consult with an attorney prior to executing this

Agreement; (c) you have twenty-one (21) days to consider this Agreement (although you may choose to voluntarily execute this Agreement earlier); (d) you have seven (7) days following the execution of this Agreement by the parties to revoke your acceptance of the Agreement; and (e) this Agreement shall not be effective until the date upon which the revocation period has expired, which shall be the eighth day after this Agreement is executed by you, provided that the Company has also executed this Agreement by that date (“Effective Date”). Nothing contained in this paragraph shall adversely affect your rights under this Agreement or the rights to indemnification under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws or its applicable insurance policies otherwise covering officers of the Company. A copy of the Company’s Bylaws in existence as of the date of this Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

10. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. However, except to the extent modified herein, the Employment Agreement remains in effect. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by you and the Company. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of you and the Company and our respective successors, assigns, heirs and administrators.

Section 1. The holders of a majority of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the

certificate of incorporation. If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

Section 2. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on a given matter shall be the act of the shareholders with respect to that matter unless the vote of a greater number of shares of stock is required by law or by the certificate of incorporation.

In all elections for Directors, every shareholder entitled to vote, shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares of stock owned by him, for as many persons as there are Directors to be elected and for whose election he has a right to vote.

ARTICLE V
DIRECTORS

Section 1. The number of directors which shall constitute the entire Board of Directors shall be not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10). The exact number of Directors within such maximum and minimum shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or by the shareholders at an annual meeting or special meeting. Directors need not be residents of the State of New Jersey nor shareholders of the Corporation. The first Board of Directors shall hold office until the first annual meeting of shareholders.

Section 2. The Board of Directors shall be classified with respect to the duration of the term for which they severally hold office into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Such classes shall originally consist of one class of directors (“Class I”) who shall be elected at the annual meeting of shareholders held in 1991 for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1994; a second class of Directors (“Class II”) who shall be elected at the annual meeting of shareholders held in 1991 for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1993; and a third class of Directors (“Class III”) who shall be elected at the annual meeting of shareholders held in 1991 for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1992. The Board of Directors shall increase or decrease the number of Directors, in order to ensure that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible; provided, however, that no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director. At each annual meeting of shareholders beginning in 1992, the successors of the class of Directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be, elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders held in the third year following the year of their election. Provided a quorum is present, in any election of Directors, the persons receiving a plurality of the votes cast, up to the number of Directors to be elected in such election, shall be deemed elected.

Section 3. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any directorship not filled at the annual meeting, any other vacancy, however caused, occurring in the Board of Directors and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors. Any Director so elected by the Board of Directors shall hold office until the

next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

Section 4. Any directorship not filled by the Board of Directors may be filled by the shareholders at an annual meeting or at a special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose.

Section 5. The business affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.

Section 6. The Directors may keep the books and records of the Corporation, except such as are required by law to be kept within the state, outside of the State of New Jersey, at such place or places as they may from time to time determine.

Section 7. The Board of Directors, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, and irrespective of any personal interest of any of its members, shall have authority to establish reasonable compensation of Directors for services to the Corporation as Directors.

Section 2. The first meeting of each newly elected Board of Directors shall be held at such time and place as shall be fixed by the vote of the shareholders at the annual meeting, and no notice of such meeting shall be necessary to the newly elected Directors in order legally to constitute the meeting, provided a quorum of Directors shall be present, or the Board of

Directors may convene at such place and time as shall be fixed by the consent in writing of all the Directors.

Section 3. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held upon such notice, or without notice, and at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors.

Notice of such special meeting of the Board of Directors stating the place, date and hour of the meeting shall be given to each Director either (i) by mail not less than three (3) days before the date of the meeting, or (ii) personally, by telephone, facsimile, telecopy, telegram, telex or other similar means of communication on twenty-four (24) hours’ notice, or on such shorter notice as the person or persons calling such meeting may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to the Director or to a person at the office of the Director whom the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the Director. Notice need not be given to any other Director who signs a waiver of notice, whether before or after the meeting.

Section 5. Attendance by a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

Section 6. A majority of the Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless a greater or lesser number is required by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. The act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless the act of a greater or lesser number is required by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of Directors, the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until such time as a quorum shall be present.

Section 7. Unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, shall be deemed to be the action of the Board of Directors or of a committee thereof, if all Directors or committee members, as the case may be, execute either before or after the action is taken, a written consent thereto, and the consent is filed with the records of the Corporation.

Section 2. Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given under the provisions of the statutes or under the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting. If the stock transfer book shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to give a written consent to any action without a meeting, such books may not be closed for more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for tabulation of consents or if no date has been fixed for tabulation, the books may not be closed for more than sixty (60) days before the last day on which consents received may be counted. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60) days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken and, in case of determining shareholders entitled to give a written consent the record date may not be more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for tabulation of the consents or, if no date has been fixed for the tabulation, more than sixty (60) days before the last day on which consents may be

counted. If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed, the record date for a shareholders’ meeting shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if no notice is given, the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and the record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the Board relating thereto is adopted. When a determination of shareholders of record for a shareholders’ meeting has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 6. Registered Shareholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of New Jersey.

Section 7. List of Shareholders. The officer or agent having charge of the transfer books for shares shall make, and certify a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting, or adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order within each class, series, or group of shareholders maintained by the Corporation for convenience of reference, with the address of, and the number of shares held by each shareholder, which list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. Such list shall be prima facie

evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders.

ARTICLE XII
AMENDMENTS

Section 1. These by-laws may be altered, amended, or repealed or new by-laws may be adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board, subject to any provision in the certificate of incorporation reserving to the shareholders the power to adopt, amend, or repeal by-laws, but the shareholders may alter or repeal any by-laws made by the Board and may adopt new by-laws. The shareholders or these by-laws may prescribe that any by-law made by the shareholders shall not be altered or repealed by the Board without the approval of the shareholders.

ARTICLE XIII
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES,
MEMBERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD AND AGENTS

Section 1. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee, a member of the Scientific Advisory Board or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, or itself,

create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 2. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee, a Member of the Corporation’s Scientific Advisory Board or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be provided in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Section 3. To the extent that such director, officer, employee, a Member of the Corporation’s Scientific Advisory Board or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 and 2 of this Article XIII, or

in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

Section 4. Any indemnification under Section 1 or 2 of this Article XIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Director, officer, employee, a Member of this Corporation’s Scientific Advisory Board or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the shareholders of the Corporation.

Section 5. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by this Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors, in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director, officer, employee, Member of the Corporation’s Scientific Advisory Board or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by this Corporation as authorized in this Article XIII.

Section 6. The indemnification provided by this Article XIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any other by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee, Member of the

Corporation’s Scientific Advisory Board or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 7. The Corporation, when authorized by the Board of Directors, shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the person who is or was a Director, officer, employee, Member of the Corporation’s Scientific Advisory Board or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article XIII.

ARTICLE XIV
WRITTEN CONSENT

Section 1. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required by this chapter to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

Section 2. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing. If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the “NJBCA”) had the action been voted on by shareholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such

section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of shareholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as provided in Section 14A:5-6 of the NJBCA.

Section 3. In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of New Jersey, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded, to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing

without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 4. In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of a written consent or consents purporting to authorize or take corporate action and/or related revocations (each such written consent and any revocation thereof is referred to in this Section 4 as a “Consent”), the Secretary of the Corporation shall provide for the safekeeping of such Consents and shall as soon as practicable thereafter conduct such reasonable investigation as he deems necessary or appropriate for the purpose of ascertaining the validity of such Consents and all matters incident thereto, including, without limitation, whether the holders of shares having the requisite voting power to authorize or take the action specified in the Consents have given consents. No consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be effective unless delivered to the Corporation within sixty (60) days following the record date relating thereto fixed pursuant to Section 3 above.
