                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

         The  authorized  capital  stock of the Company  consists of  30,000,000
shares of Common Stock,  par value $.10 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of Class
A Preferred  Stock,  par value $1.00 per share. As of April 28, 1998, there were
15,377,828 shares of Common Stock outstanding and no shares of Class A Preferred
Stock outstanding.


         On June 15, 1996,  InaCom  issued  $55,250,000  in aggregate  principal
amount of its 6% Convertible  Subordinated Debentures due June 15, 2006 (the "6%
Debentures"). The 6% Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into
Common  Stock at a  conversion  price of  $24.00  per  share;  an  aggregate  of
2,302,084  shares of Common  Stock  would be  issued if all 6%  Debentures  were
converted into Common Stock.

         On November 4, 1997 and November 20, 1997, InaCom issued $86,250,000 in
aggregate principal amount of its 4.5% Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures due
November 1, 2004 (the "4.5% Debentures"). The 4.5% Debentures are convertible at
any time into  Common  Stock at a  conversion  price of  $39.63  per  share;  an
aggregate  of  2,176,519  shares  of  Common  Stock  would be issued if all 4.5%
Debentures were converted into Common Stock.

Common Stock

         Holders of  outstanding  Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as
may be declared  by the Company  Board of  Directors  out of the assets  legally
available  for that  purpose,  and are  entitled  to one  vote per  share on all
matters  submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company.  The holders of
shares of Common Stock do not have  cumulative  voting  rights.  Therefore,  the
holders  of more  than  50% of the  Common  Stock  voting  for the  election  of
directors can elect all the  directors,  and the  remaining  holders will not be
able to elect any directors.  The holders of Common Stock have no pre-emptive or
other subscription  rights, and there are no conversion or redemption or sinking
fund provisions with respect to such shares.

         All of the outstanding  shares of Common Stock will be, and when issued
upon  conversion  of the 6% Debentures  and 4.5%  Debentures,  duly  authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                                        2

Preferred Stock

         The Company  Board of Directors is  authorized to issue up to 1,000,000
shares of Class A Preferred Stock in one or more series, from time to time, with
such designations,  preferences and relative,  participating,  optional or other
special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as may
be provided  in a  resolution  or  resolutions  adopted by the Company  Board of
Directors.  The authority of the Company Board of Directors includes, but is not
limited to, the  determination or fixing of the following with respect to shares
of such class or any series thereof: (i) the number of shares; (ii) the dividend
rate and the date from  which  dividends  are to be  cumulative;  (iii)  whether
shares are to be redeemable and, if so, the terms and amount of any sinking fund
providing  for the purchase or redemption  of such shares;  (iv) whether  shares
shall be  convertible,  and, if so, the terms and provisions  thereof;  (v) what
restrictions  are to apply,  if any,  on the issue or reissue of any  additional
Class A Preferred Stock;  and (vi) whether shares have voting rights.  Shares of
Class A Preferred Stock may be issued with a preference over the Common Stock as
to the  payment of  dividends.  No shares of Class A  Preferred  Stock have been
issued.

         Classes of stock such as the Class A  Preferred  Stock may be used,  in
certain circumstances,  to create voting impediments on extraordinary  corporate
transactions or to frustrate  persons seeking to effect a merger or otherwise to
gain control of the Company.  For the foregoing  reasons,  any shares of Class A
Preferred Stock issued by the Company could have an adverse effect on the rights
of the holders of the Common  Stock.  The Company has no present  plans to issue
any shares of Class A Preferred Stock.

Liquidation and Other Rights

         Upon  liquidation,  the holders of Common  Stock are  entitled to share
ratably in assets available for distribution to stockholders  after satisfaction
of any liquidation  preferences of any outstanding preferred stock. The issuance
of any  shares  of  series  of Class A  Preferred  Stock in  future  financings,
acquisitions  or  otherwise  may result in dilution of voting power and relative
equity  interest of the holders of shares of Common  Stock and will  subject the
Common Stock to the prior  dividend and  liquidation  rights of the  outstanding
shares of the series of preferred stock.

Advance Notice Requirements in Connection with Stockholder Meetings

         The Company bylaws  establish an advance notice  procedure for bringing
business before an annual meeting of stockholders and for nominating (other than
by or at the  direction of the Board of  Directors)  candidates  for election as
directors at a meeting of stockholders.  To be timely,  notice of business to be
brought  before an annual  meeting or  nominations of candidates for election of
directors at a meeting must be received by the Secretary of the Company not less
than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting.  In the event that less than
40 days'  notice  or  prior  public  disclosure  of the date is given or made to
stockholders, notice by the stockholder must be received no later than the tenth
day  following the date on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or
public disclosure thereof was made.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

         Section 203 of the General  Corporation Law of the Delaware prohibits a
publicly-held  Delaware  corporation  from engaging in a "business  combination"
with an "interested  stockholder"  for a period of three years after the date of
the  transaction  in which the person became an interested  stockholder,  unless
upon  consummation of such transaction the interested  stockholder  owned 85% of
the voting  stock of the  corporation  outstanding  at the time the  transaction
commenced or unless the business  combination  is, or the  transaction  in which
such person became interested  stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner.
A  "business  combination"  includes  a  merger,  an asset  sale  and any  other
transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested  stockholder.  An
"interested   stockholder"  is  a  person  who,  together  with  affiliates  and
associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Pursuant  to Article VII of the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of InaCom,
InaCom  shall,  to the extent  required,  and may, to the extent  permitted,  by
Section  102 and  Section  145 of the  General  Corporation  Law of the State of
Delaware,  indemnify  and  reimburse  all  persons  whom  it may  indemnify  and
reimburse  pursuant  thereto.  No  director  shall be  liable  to  InaCom or its
stockholders  for monetary  damages for breach of  fiduciary  duty as a director
with respect to acts or omissions occurring on or after May 27, 1987. A director
shall  continue to be liable for (i) any breach of a director's  duty of loyalty
to InaCom or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve  intentional  misconduct or a knowing  violation of law;  (iii) paying a
dividend or approving a stock  repurchase which would violate Section 174 of the
General  Corporation Law of the State of Delaware;  or (iv) any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     The by-laws of InaCom provide for  indemnification of InaCom's officers and
directors  against all expenses,  liabilities or losses  reasonably  incurred or
suffered by them,  including liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
to the extent legally  permissible under section 145 of the General  Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware  where any such person was, is, or is threatened to
be made a party to or is  involved  in any action,  suit or  proceeding  whether
civil,  criminal,  administrative or  investigative,  by reason of the fact such
person was serving  InaCom in such  capacity.  Generally,  under  Delaware  law,
indemnification may only be available where an officer or director can establish
that such  person  acted in good faith and in a manner  such  person  reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of InaCom.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant ("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 this  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;

         (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 paragraphs
                  (1)(i)  and  (1)(ii)  above do not  apply  if the  information
                  required to be included i a post-effective  amendment by those
                  paragraphs  is  contained  in  periodic  reports  filed by the
                  Registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the  Securities
                  Exchange  Act of 1934 that are  incorporated  by  reference in
                  this Registration Statement.

         (2)      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)      That,  for purposes of  determining  any  liability  under the
                  Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities  Act"), each filing of
                  the  Registrant's  annual report  pursuant to Section 13(a) or
                  Section  15(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  (the
                  "Exchange  Act") that is  incorporated  by  reference  in this
                  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.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be  permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
Registrant pursuant to written agreements, Bylaw provisions or the Delaware Law,
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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

InaCom Corp.

Gentlemen:

         In connection with the  registration  under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended,  of  1,344,501  shares of common  stock,  $.10 par value,  of InaCom
Corp.,  a Delaware  corporation  ("InaCom"),  we have  examined  such  corporate
records and other documents,  including the  Registration  Statement on Form S-3
(the  "Registration  Statement"),  to be filed with the  Securities and Exchange
Commission, relating to such matters of law as we have deemed necessary for this
opinion. Based on such examination, we advise you that in our opinion:

         1.  InaCom is a corporation  duly organized and existing under the laws
             of the State of Delaware.

         2.  All necessary corporate action on the part of InaCom has been taken
             to authorize the  registration of 1,344,501  shares of common stock
             by InaCom, and such shares are (or, with respect to shares issuable
             to the selling  stockholders  named in the Registration  Statement,
             will be) legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We  consent  to  the  filing  of  this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration Statement.

                                          Yours very truly,

                                          McGRATH, NORTH, MULLIN & KRATZ, P.C.
