               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

The following documents heretofore filed by ImageMax, Inc. (the "Company") with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are incorporated in
this Registration Statement by reference:

      1. The Company's prospectus dated December 4, 1997, filed pursuant to Rule
         424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

      2. The description of the Company's common stock, no par value per share,
         contained in the registration statement on Form 8-A of the Company
         (Commission File No. 0-23077) filed under the Securities and Exchange
         Act of 1934 on November 28, 1997.

All documents filed with the Commission by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
hereto which indicates that all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part
thereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a
document, all or a portion of which is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference herein, shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes
of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein
or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

None.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Pursuant to Sections 1741-1747 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the
"BCL"), Article V of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation (the "Articles") and Article XIV of the Company's Amended and
Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company shall, in the case of
directors and officers, and may, in the case of employees and agents, indemnify
any such person who is or was a party (other than a party acting on his or her
own behalf) or who is threatened to be made such a party, to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or

                                      II-1
<PAGE>


proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including
actions brought by or in the right of the Company where certain standards of
conduct have been met), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the
Company on behalf of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with such action if he or she met certain
requisite standards of conduct. In all such cases, the Company shall indemnify
any such person against all such expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him or her in connection with any such action to the extent that such person has
been successful on the merits or in defense of any such action. The
indemnification provisions of the Articles and Bylaws are non-exclusive.

Pursuant to Section 1713 of the BCL, Article IV of the Articles and Article IV,
Section 4.15 of the Bylaws provides that a director shall not be liable to the
Company for monetary damages as such for any action taken or omitted unless the
director breaches or fails to perform a duty of his office and that breach or
failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.
This limitation does not apply to criminal liability or liability for the
payment of taxes. The Company believes that the provisions will assist it in
securing and maintaining the services of directors who are not employees of the
Company.

The Company has obtained insurance providing officers and directors coverage for
losses arising from claims based on breaches of duty, negligence, error and
other wrongful acts, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made
of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:

            (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
                 Act;

            (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 this registration statement.
                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
                 volume of securities (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 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price
                 set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
                 effective registration statement;

            (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
                 of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
                 statement or any material change to such information in this
                 Registration Statement;

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i) and
(1)(ii) above 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 1934 Act
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act,
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.

         (4) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Act,
each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act 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.

                                      II-3

<PAGE>


         (5) 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 Act 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 Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                  Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

Dear Sir/Madam:

                  Reference is made to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 of
ImageMax, Inc. (the "Company") which is being filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on the date hereof (the "Registration Statement").
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Registration Statement.

                  The Registration Statement covers 850,000 shares of Common
Stock, no par value, of the Company (the "Shares"), issuable by the Company
pursuant to awards granted or available for grant under the Company's 1997
Incentive Plan and 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plans").

                  We have examined the Registration Statement, including the
exhibits thereto, the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
and By-Laws as currently in effect, the Plans and such other documents as we
have deemed appropriate. In the foregoing examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as copies of
originals.

                  Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plans and
any underlying option award agreements or letters, will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.

                  We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5
to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit
that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and
regulations thereunder.

                                                     Sincerely,
