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.
