OPTIUM CORPORATION

Amendment to Grant of Stock Option

        [Eitan Gertel] (the "Grantee") was granted an option (the "Option") to purchase certain shares of Optium Corporation (the "Company") common stock (the "Stock") pursuant to the Optium Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), as follows:


Grant Date:

 

June 23, 2005

Number of Option Shares:

 

1,250,000 shares of Stock

Original Exercise Price (per share):

 

$0.08

        The Grantee acknowledges that the Company has informed the Grantee that the Original Exercise Price set forth above may be below the fair market value of the Stock on the Grant Date and that, as a result, pursuant to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Section 409A"), the Grantee may be subject to income taxes, including tax penalties, with respect to the Option in an amount greater and at a time earlier than anticipated at the time of the Option grant.

        In an attempt to mitigate the risk of the possible additional tax liability under Section 409A, the Grantee hereby acknowledges and agrees, for no additional consideration, to amend the terms of the Option by increasing the per share exercise price of the Option as follows, to the amount set forth below, which is an amount that the Company believes is the per share fair value of the Stock on the Grant Date:


Amended Exercise Price (per share):

 

$0.09

        The Grantee understands that this Amendment is intended only to attempt to minimize the possible tax liability under Section 409A, but does not guarantee any reduction in additional tax liability under Section 409(A) in connection with the Option, and that exercise of the Option and sale of any shares issued upon exercise will still be subject to income taxation under other sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The Grantee has been advised by the Company that the Grantee should consult his or her tax advisor prior to executing this Amendment and has had the opportunity to do so. The Grantee agrees that he or she is not relying on the Company for tax advice with respect to the Option or this Amendment.

        By their signatures below, the Company and the Grantee agree that the Option is governed by the original Notice of Grant, as amended by this Amendment, and by the provisions of the Plan and the Option Agreement (each as defined in the original Notice of Grant). The Grantee represents that the Grantee has read carefully and fully understands this Amendment, and hereby accepts all of its terms and conditions.
