Exhibit 99.3

AMENDED AND RESTATED
WARRANT TO PURCHASE
COMMON STOCK
OF
FINISAR CORPORATION

VOID AFTER JANUARY 31, 2013

     This Amended and Restated Warrant (this “Warrant”) was originally issued to [Employee] or his registered assigns (the “Employee”) by Optium Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Optium”) on May 1, 2003 (the “Warrant Issue Date”), and was assumed by Finisar Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Finisar” or the “Company”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Finisar, Fig Combination Corporation , a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finisar, and Optium dated May 15, 2008. This Warrant was issued to the Employee in connection with his employment by Optium.

     1. NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO WARRANT; EXERCISE PRICE. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Employee is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, to purchase from the Company [Number of Shares] shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $0.10 per share (as may be adjusted herein, the “Exercise Price”).

     2. EXERCISE PERIOD. Except as otherwise provided for herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. eastern time on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Warrant Issue Date (the “Warrant Termination Date”); PROVIDED, that if the employment by the Company of the Employee is terminated for any reason or reasons prior to this Warrant becoming exercisable, then this Warrant shall expire without ever becoming exercisable; and, PROVIDED FURTHER, that if the employment by the Company of the Employee is terminated for any reason or reasons after this Warrant first becomes exercisable, then this Warrant shall expire and no longer be exercisable on the earlier of: the Warrant Termination Date or (ii) the date that is ninety (90) days following the date of such termination.

     3. NOTICE OF SALE. The Company shall provide written notice to the Employee not less than thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of a Change in Control. For purposes of this Warrant, a “Change of Control” shall mean either of the following:

          (a) any transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which the Company sells, transfers, leases, exchanges or disposes of substantially all (i.e., at least eighty-five percent (85%)) of its assets for cash or property, or for a combination of cash and property, or for other consideration; or

          (b) any transaction pursuant to which persons who are not current shareholders of the Company acquire by merger, consolidation, reorganization, division or other business combination or

transaction, or by a purchase of an interest in the Company, an interest in the Company so that after such transaction, the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction no longer have a controlling (i.e., 50% or more) voting interest in the Company.

          However, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock constitute a Change of Control.

     4. METHOD OF EXERCISE. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with SECTION 2 hereof, the purchase rights hereby represented may be exercised in whole but not in part, at the election of the Employee, by the tender of the Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and the surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company and by the payment to the Company in cash, by check, cancellation of indebtedness, shares of Common Stock that have been held by the Employee for at least six (6) months (or shares previously issued upon conversion thereof) or other form of payment acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased. For purposes of this SECTION 4, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock (or shares previously issued upon conversion thereof) as of a particular date shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion; PROVIDED that if such shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are traded on a national securities exchange or admitted to quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System, the fair market value on any given date shall be the average of the closing sale prices on such exchange or system of such shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant for the 20 trading days preceding such date.

     5. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter (with appropriate restrictive legends, as applicable).

     6. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

          (a) SUBDIVISIONS, COMBINATIONS AND OTHER ISSUANCES. If the Company shall at any time prior to the exercise or expiration of this Warrant subdivide its shares of Common Stock (or any successor security as provided for in SECTION 6(b)), by split-up or otherwise, or combine its shares of Common Stock (or any successor security as provided for in SECTION 6(b)), or issue additional Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any of its shares of Common Stock (or any successor security as provided for in SECTION 6(b)), the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided that the aggregate exercise price payable hereunder for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this SECTION 6(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

          (b) RECLASSIFICATION, REORGANIZATION AND CONSOLIDATION. In the event of any corporate reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, spin-off or change in the shares of Common Stock (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or dividend provided for in SECTION 6(a) above), then, as a condition of such event, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Employee, so that the Employee shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to

purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities and property receivable in connection with such event by a Employee of the same number of shares for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such event. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Employee so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price, provided that the aggregate exercise price payable hereunder for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same.

          (c) NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. When any adjustment is required to be made to the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall promptly notify the Employee of such event and of the adjusted Exercise Price or number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

     7. ASSUMPTION OF WARRANT. If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be an acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of a merger, reorganization or consolidation of the Company or any other similar transaction, then, as a part of such acquisition, lawful provision shall be made so that the Employee shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such acquisition which the Employee would have been entitled to receive in such acquisition if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such acquisition.

     8. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional Shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the fair market value determined in accordance with SECTION 4.

     9. NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Employee shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of shareholder meetings, and such Employee shall not be entitled to any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company. However, nothing in this SECTION 9 shall limit the right of the Employee to be provided the notices required under this Warrant.

     10. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT; TRANSFERABILITY OF WARRANT OR SHARES.

          (a) COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES ACT. The Employee, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant, and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, are being acquired for investment and that such Employee will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, or any Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws. This Warrant and all Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED

THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE.”

          (b) TRANSFERABILITY. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (but not this Warrant) are transferable in whole or in part by the Employee to any person or entity upon written notice to the Company.

     11. INVESTMENT STATUS. The Employee represents that he or she is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect.

All notices required under this Warrant shall be deemed to have been given or made for all purposes (i) upon personal delivery, (ii) upon confirmation receipt that the communication was successfully sent to the applicable number if sent by facsimile, (iii) one day after being sent, when sent by professional overnight courier service, or (iv) five days after posting when sent by registered or certified mail.
