PART II.INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference. The following documents and information previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission are hereby incorporated by reference: Item 3(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996. Item 3(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 1996, December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997. Item 3(c) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 33-45391), as amended by the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 5, 1993, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description. All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing such documents. Item 4. Description of Securities. Not Applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. Not applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Sections 145(a) and 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permit a corporation to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement or actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed nonderivative action and against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any 1 3 threatened, pending or completed derivative action if such person was or is a party or was threatened to be made a party to such action by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Any indemnification shall be made if a determination in each instance is made either by a majority vote of the Board of Directors (other than directors who are parties to such action) even though less than a quorum, by the stockholders, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that such indemnification is proper because the director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. However, no indemnification may be made with respect to a derivative action if such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the action was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. To the extent that a person has been successful in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, Section 145(c) provides that such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. A corporation may also advance expenses incurred in defending proceedings against an officer or a director upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director to repay such expenses to the corporation if it is ultimately determined that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided under the Delaware General Corporation Law are not exclusive of any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses a person may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Under the terms of Article VIII of the Registrant's Bylaws, the Registrant is required to indemnify any person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant (or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, trustee or partner of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law against expenses, liabilities and other matters covered by or referred to in Section 145. As permitted by paragraph (7) of subsection (b) of Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Article VIII of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (a) for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to unlawful declarations or payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions); or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Item 9. Undertakings. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 3 5 (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 4 6 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Irvine, State of California, on September 3, 1997.

(the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on September 3, 1997, in connection with the registration of 95,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), issuable upon exercise of warrants granted to seven officers of the Company (such warrants are referred to herein as the "Plan"). In connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and the proposed issuance and sale of the Shares in accordance with the Plan and the Form S-8 prospectus to be delivered to participants in the Plan, we have made certain legal and factual examinations and inquiries and examined, among other things, such documents, records, instruments, agreements, certificates and matters as we have considered appropriate and necessary for the rendering of this opinion. We have assumed for the purpose of this opinion the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the genuineness of the signatures thereon. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied, to the extent deemed proper by us, upon certificates and statements of officers and representatives of the Company. Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is our opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, after the Registration Statement becomes effective and after any post-effective amendment required by law is duly completed, filed and becomes effective, and when the applicable provisions of "Blue Sky" and other state securities laws shall have been complied with, and when the Shares are issued and sold in accordance with the Plan and the Form S-8 prospectus to be delivered to the participants in the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. We hereby consent to the inclusion of our opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and further consent to the reference to this firm in the Registration Statement. In giving this 2 consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. This opinion is rendered solely for your benefit in connection with the subject transaction and is not to be otherwise used, circulated, quoted or referred to without our prior written consent. We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction only of United States federal law and the internal laws of the State of Delaware, and we assume no responsibility as to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Very truly yours, BRYAN CAVE LLP ---------------------------------------- BRYAN CAVE LLP EX-10.1 3 EXHIBIT 10.1 1 Exhibit 10.1 WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF DAY RUNNER, INC. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. Warrant to Purchase ____________ Shares of Common Stock DAY RUNNER, INC. INCORPORATED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE Void after August 19, 2007 THE WARRANT evidenced by this Certificate has been issued for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. THIS CERTIFICATE evidences the right of ____________________ (the "Holder") to purchase ____________ shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), of Day Runner, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a price of $33.75 per Share, subject, however, to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 1. Definitions. As used in this Certificate: (a) Warrant" shall mean the rights evidenced by this Certificate. (b) "Warrant Price" shall mean $33.75, as adjusted in accordance with Section 5 hereof. 2. Term of Warrant. The Warrant may be exercised only during the period commencing on August 19, 1997 through the close of business on August 19, 2007 (the 2 "Warrant Term") and may be exercised only in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 3. Exercise of Warrant. The Warrant shall be exercisable as follows: (a) Right to Exercise. The Warrant shall immediately vest and be exercisable in full. (b) Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange. The Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Certificate, properly endorsed, with the form of subscription attached to this Certificate duly executed by the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the Company by certified or cashier's check of the then applicable Warrant Price. In the event of any exercise of the Warrant, certificates for the Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the Warrant has been so exercised and, unless the Warrant has expired, a new certificate representing the right to purchase the number of Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be issued to the Holder within such time. All such new certificates shall be dated the date hereof and shall be identical to this Certificate except as to the number of Shares issuable pursuant thereto. (c) Restrictions on Exercise. The Warrant may not be exercised if the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or other laws or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of the Warrant, the Company may require the Holder to make such representations and warranties to the Company as may be required by applicable law or regulation. 4. Shares Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares will, upon issuance and payment in accordance herewith, be fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the Warrant Term the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the Warrant at least the maximum number of Shares as are issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant. 5. Adjustment of Purchase Price and Number of Shares. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events, as follows: (a) Consolidation, Merger or Reclassification. If the Company at any time while the Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, or reclassify or in any manner change the securities then purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant (any of which shall constitute a "Reorganization"), then lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby this Certificate shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of securities and other property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such Reorganization upon or with respect to the securities which were purchasable or would have become purchasable under the Warrant immediately prior to such Reorganization. The Company 2 3 shall not effect any such Reorganization unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such Reorganization shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the Holder, at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(a) to the contrary, the prior two sentences shall be inoperative and of no force and effect if upon the completion of any such Reorganization the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such event do not own at least 50% of the equity interest of the corporation resulting from such Reorganization, in which case the Warrant or any unexercised portion thereof shall expire upon the completion of such Reorganization if the notice required by Section 5(e) hereof has been duly given. (b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time while the Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or combination by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such subdivision or combination. (c) Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time while the Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of: (i) Stock Dividends. Entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution without consideration of, Common Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to each dividend or distribution by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or (ii) Distribution of Assets, Securities, etc. Making any distribution without consideration with respect to its Common Stock (other than a cash dividend) payable other than in its Common Stock, the Holder shall, upon the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Shares receivable upon such exercise, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, such assets or securities as would have been payable to the Holder as owner of that number of Shares receivable by exercise of the Warrant had the Holder been the holder of record of such Shares on the record date for such distribution, and an appropriate provision therefor shall be made a part of any such distribution. 3 4 (d) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price pursuant to Subsections (b) or (c)(i) of this Section 5, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted to that number determined by multiplying the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately following such adjustment. (e) Notice. In case at any time during the Warrant Term: (i) The Company shall pay any dividend payable in stock upon its Common Stock or make any distribution, excluding a cash dividend, to the holders of its Common Stock; (ii) The Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) There shall be any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or (iv) There shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder at least ten days' prior written notice (or, in the event of notice pursuant to Section 5(e)(iii), at least 30 days' prior written notice) of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect to any such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Each such written notice shall be given personally or by first-class, registered or certified mail or similar delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the address of the Holder as shown on the books of the Company. (f) No Change in Certificate. The form of this Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Warrant Price or in the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of any or all of the Warrant. The Warrant Price or the number of Shares shall be considered to have been so changed as of the close of business on the date of adjustment. 6. Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of the Warrant, rather, in lieu of such fractional Shares, the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the fair market value of the Shares at the time of such exercise, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors. 4 5 7. Transfer and Exchange of Warrant. Subject to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, Section 8, the Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at its principal office referred to above by the registered holder hereof in person or by its duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of the Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. Upon any partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to such holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the shares of Common Stock not so transferred. Each taker and holder of the Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that the Warrant when endorsed in blank shall be deemed negotiable and that when the Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the holder hereof may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with the Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the owner for all purposes. The Warrant is exchangeable at such office for a Warrant or Warrants for the same aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, all new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as the holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. 8. Restrictions on Transfer of Warrant. The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective notification under Regulation A or a registration statement, in either case under the Securities Act of 1933, covering the disposition of the Warrant or Common Stock issued, or issuable upon exercise hereof, such Holder will not sell, transfer, pledge or hypothecate any or all of such Warrant or Common Stock, as the case may be, unless such sale or transfer will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws, and such Holder consents to the Company making a notification on its records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Warrant or such Common Stock in order to implement such restriction on transferability. 9. No Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the Warrant, as such, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be considered a stockholder of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything in the Warrant be construed to confer on such holder, as such, any rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action, to receive notice of meetings of stockholders, to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise. 10. Miscellaneous Provisions. (a) Replacement. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of any indemnity agreement or bond reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu of the Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor. 5 6 (b) Governing Law. The Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws, and not the laws pertaining to choice or conflicts of laws, of the State of Delaware.
