Try this & let us know if it worked?:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog "rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^mysite.com/page1.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^mysite.com/page1.html$ http://www.theirsite.com/pagex.php
[NC,R,L]

^ = Start of string
$ = End of string
NC = NoCase (Not case sensitive)
R = Redirect (external-like)
L = Last rule (Dont process more for this condition)
