WHEREAS, Celgene Corporation (the “Company”) maintains the Celgene Corporation 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of June 17, 2009) (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 14 of the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan, subject to stockholder approval in certain instances; and

WHEREAS, the Board desires to amend the Plan, effective on the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders occurring in 2012 (the “2012 Annual Meeting”), subject to stockholder approval at the 2012 Annual Meeting.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Board takes the following action with regard to the Plan:

I. Pursuant to Article 14 of the Plan, the Plan is hereby amended, effective on the 2012 Annual Meeting and subject to stockholder approval at the 2012 Annual Meeting, as follows:

“The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or used for reference purposes under this Plan or with respect to which all Awards may be granted shall not exceed 95,981,641 shares (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2). Any shares of Common Stock that are subject to Restricted Stock Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards or Performance-Based Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock granted on or after the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders occurring in 2012, shall be counted against this limit as 2.1 shares for every share granted.”

“If a share of Restricted Stock or an Other Stock-Based Award or a Performance-Based Award denominated in shares of Common Stock granted under this Plan is forfeited for any reason on or after the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders occurring in 2012, 2.1 shares of Common Stock shall again be available for the purposes of Awards under the Plan.”

3. Article 18 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
