DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 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 May 3, 1999, there were (1) 45,228,260 shares
of common stock outstanding or issuable pursuant to the February 1999 merger
with Vanstar Corporation and (2) no shares of Class A Preferred Stock
outstanding.
In October 1996, Vanstar's subsidiary trust issued certain preferred
securities and the holders are entitled to cumulative cash distributions at an
annual rate of 6 3/4% of the liquidation amount of $50 per security. The
preferred securities are convertible at the option of the holder into InaCom
common stock at a conversion rate of 1.113 shares of InaCom common stock for
each preferred security (equivalent to a conversion price of $44.92 per share);
an aggregate of 5,565,000 shares of common stock would be issued if all
preferred securities were converted into common stock.
Common Stock
Holders of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be
declared by our Board of Directors out of the assets legally available for that
purpose. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of common stock do not
<PAGE>
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.
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 are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Our 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 Board of Directors. The
authority of the 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: (1) the number of shares; (2) the dividend rate and the date
from which dividends are to be cumulative; (3) 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; (4) whether shares shall be
convertible, and, if so, the terms and provisions thereof; (5) what restrictions
are to apply, if any, on the issue or reissue of any additional Class A
Preferred Stock; and (6) 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 InaCom. For the foregoing reasons, any shares of Class A
Preferred Stock issued by us could have an adverse effect on the rights of the
holders of the common stock. We have 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. Any such future
issuance 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
Our 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 InaCom not less than 90 nor more
than 120 days prior to the meeting.
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
<PAGE>
the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless (1)
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 (2) 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.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for the common stock is First Chicago Trust Company
of New York.

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. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that 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;
however, a director shall continue to be liable for (1) any breach of a
director's duty of loyalty to InaCom or its stockholders; (2) acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law; (3) paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase which would
violate Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; or
(4) 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.
InaCom also maintains a director and officer insurance policy which
insures the officers and directors of InaCom and its subsidiaries against
damages, judgments, settlements and costs incurred by reason of certain wrongful
acts committed by such persons in their capacities as officers and directors.

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:
o To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
o 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;
o 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 in 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.

Gentlemen:
In connection with the registration under the Securities act of 1933, as
amended, of 77,924 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 77,924 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.

ACCOUNTANTS' CONSENT
The Board of Directors
InaCom Corp.:
We consent to the incorporation by reference of our report dated February 19,
1999 from the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed March 4, 1999, with respect to
the consolidated balance sheets of InaCom Corp. and subsidiaries as of December
26, 1998 and December 27, 1997 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 26, 1998. That report refers to the opinion of
other auditors with respect to Vanstar Corporation ("Vanstar") a company
